Summer days and Hannah Montana

I have a confession. Rumors are already spreading, so I might as well come clean. I like Hannah Montana. the show. the music. all of it. 

It all started when against my will, I had to sit through weeks of talent show auditions, practices, and performances where about 75% of the material was from Hannah Montana. My 4th and 5th graders get to pick out their own music for the talent show, of course, so this is the one time during the school year where they are the ones exposing me to new music. So, next thing I know, I've heard her songs at least 15 times, and they are stuck in my head. I would find myself singing them between classes.  Finally, I caved in. "Party with us" is such a fun song, I put it on my own summer compilation cd. 

So that was this past spring. Early on in the summer, while being ministered to by Carrie with her direct tv, we were flipping through the channels. We came upon the Hannah Montana show on the Disney Channel, and were pleasantly surprised by how funny she is, and we were refreshed by something relatively innocent on tv. 

And soooo, recently, Brian and I came to a decision that since I don't desire to read for hours quite as much as he does, I would rent something to watch while he sat beside me and read. Looking through the options at Blockbuster was gross. It is like human depravity 101. Everything was either disgustingly gory or trashy. But, ah, there was a Hannah Montana dvd in the middle of all of that junk, so I chose that one. Brian is so good, he bought me Hannah Montana to watch! (But he did make me go check it out by myself!) But I totally understand...

So, now I am on my 2nd Hannah Montana dvd (it is just episodes from the show) and it has been so much fun to watch! She, and about 3 or 4 other characters on the show , are really halarious! Give it a try...

Only 2 more weeks of summer. I feel like its only been about 2 weeks since I really got in relaxation mode. But that's ok. I am so thankful that I've had this time to rest, to read, to spend with friends, and to enjoy and grow with my sweet boy.

My next post is gonna be about something realllly deep and thoughtful to balance this one out, so be prepared....
