I know some of y'all watch Oprah...
I usually don't, but we did this afternoon, to see the results of her Pop Star Challenge. It turns out, one of the men my mom works with is married to the winner, LaShell Griffin. Mom says he's one of the nicest, friendliest people she knows, and this could be an enormous break for the family (five kids!).
As we watched her sing I got weepy again (more on that in a minute). "One Moment in Time" is a horrible, sappy song and it always makes me cry no matter what. Well, I was a little embarrassed and tried to hide the fact that I was crying, until I looked over and saw my mom was bawling too. Then we started laughing. At least I come by my weepiness honestly.
It's good to see someone really nice and deserving win something. I hope she's tremendously successful and they all live happily ever after. :)
(On the weepiness, I don't know WHAT's up with me lately, but it's like I'm wearing all my emotionally-connected organs out on my sleeve. I mean, I cry easier than your average person, but lately I cry at the drop of a hat. It's never sad crying. It's always happy or sentimental crying. I cry at sappy things even while I sit there and think about how stupid and sappy they are. And it's not just a few tears. If I let it go, it'd be all out sobbing. I've been chalking it up to hormones, but I'm starting to wonder.)
Anyway, congratulations to LaShell and her family.
