Two More

Just thought of some other things I want to add to my tagged list below.

8. Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite recent tv programs. Started watching during my pregnancy and early days of Jared's life. The rapid fire dialogue and cornball humor initially made me wonder "What the...?" but I was all in after about three or four episodes. Some of the many reasons that I like it are that it deals with family love alongside generational conflict and ambition alongside simple, basic human values. Also, it inverts the stereotype of what/who a teenage mother is and what she is able to ultimately achieve.

9. The tejana negra in me would love to have a well-cared-for, early 1970s GMC truck (with a new engine) as a second vehicle.
