All Aubrey Needs Is Love
I’m on day four on the road so I’m really missing my little Aubrey. I try not to be gone longer than five consecutive days at a time (that seems to be a real breaking point for both of us) but this week will be six by the time I get home on Saturday.
When I miss her a lot I torture myself by looking at our videos and her pictures, watching Modern Family episodes on ABC.com, etc. I’m a glutton for punishment.
Anyway, I thought I’d share our latest home video. We made it last week. Aubrey has been very interested in the concept of marriage lately. I think this is common for 4 yr olds. Anyway, she understands when two individuals love each other, they may choose to get married (unless they are being discriminated against… but that’s another blog). Having very little concept of adult, romantic love at this point, she believes marriage is simply about love. It’s very sweet and innocent.
The sweetest thing is that she has been telling me for a couple weeks now is that she wants to marry me. “I’m going to marry YOU, mommy!” Awwwww. I’ve explained to her that family members can’t marry each other, but she’s not buying it.
More recently, she has also expressed an interest in marrying our chihuahua, Bob Barker. I haven’t gotten into the inter-species aspect of why that’s never going to happen, but it sure is nice to know Bob and I are loved so much.
Here is Aubrey and Bob Barker’s quickie wedding ceremony. The happiest girls I know 🙂

You Pretty Much Suck Too, Judy. Not Sorry.
I don’t receive a of of hate email. In fact it’s been a couple years, so the crabby-abby email I got today is extra special.
Really, Judy? You don’t have anything better to do with your time? I mean, you’re more than welcome to your opinion, but what can I do for you?
Oh and you did NOT see me perform last evening because the shows at Downtown Comedy Club were on Fri & Sat, March 30 and 31 – that would be 2-3 days ago. So why the giant delay? And why the apology? What’s with the “sorry” at the end of your email? If you’re going to dish it out, have some balls, ok?
Thanks, Jude. You sure make me want to suck less.

The Road: Not Hooked On Driving
I’m on the road like crazy this spring and this week I have a lot of driving. I don’t always drive a lot. I often fly from city to city to city, criss-crossing the continent. But this week I have three shows in southwestern Colorado all several hours apart. I flew into Denver on Sunday and today was my 3 consecutive day driving 3-4 hours.
This is when I’m going to mention that I HATE driving. It’s so boring and, in my opinion, it’s such a waste of time. I’d rather be getting some work done in my hotel, exercising in my hotel or napping in my hotel. Needless to say, I get a little surly in the car alone, day after day, so I need to get creative to keep myself from driving through the guard rails.
At least the Rocky Mountains are a breathtaking backdrop for boredom. I wanted to share it with you along with some fabulous lip syncing.
Hope you’re having a great week! xo aa
