If you think we're the kind of people who keep our digital storage neat and trim, you've forgotten that Nicole's phone has nine screens of apps.

00:31 Post-Renovation Debrief: Terri's bathroom reno is complete, but it will never be perfect. Just like our reflections in every mirror we encounter. 05:11 We Could Care, But We Choose Not To: We had a bossy parenting article to discuss, but decide to give ourselves a break on that, along with lots of other things parents are probably supposed to be worrying about. 22:36 Friday Speed Round: Missed Milestones: We have also opted not to worry about milestones like riding the school bus, taking photos with Santa, and going camping. 31:58 Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's fed up with kids' water bottles, Terri is talking Dancing with the Stars on Facebook and Annie Barrett's blog, and Nicole is getting the low-down from Urban Dictionary. 41:50 Shameless Self-Promotion: Learn to Skate and World Girls' Ice Hockey Weekend; 8 Tips for Introducing a Student with Disabilities to a General Education Classroom; and this podcast's graphics on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook (a combined project of Catherine, who listens for the quotes, and Terri, who designs and shares 'em). Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience. Terri needs her black stick pen to do her crosswords, Nicole clings to her trusty Parenting Roundabout pen, and Catherine talked pens with her asbestos testing guy. We're looking forward to returning shows This Is Us, Speechless, and Scorpion, and curious about The Good Doctor, but already we're behind in our viewing. Twitter's apparent intention to switch to a 280-character limit from 140 has us mourning that poetic short form and dreading longer rants to read. (Mentioned: @Lin_Manuel, @MayorEmanuel) Your road map to this week's entertainment-themed podcast: 00:31 Dancing with the Stars: Guilty Pleasures night was also Happy Judges night and Let's Not Ruin Our Mood by Eliminating Anyone night. 16:39 The West Wing Weekly: The podcast did a listener questions/Big Block of Cheese ep, so we didn't watch an episode of the show this time. 21:22 Challenge Round: The Crown: After John Lithgow won an Emmy for his performance as Winston Churchill on this Netflix series, Catherine challenged Terri to take in an episode (S1E9, "Assassins") in which Churchill must face his mortality in the form of a painting. UPDATE: As we mentioned on the episode, our viewing for next week was TBD by whether the West Wing Weekly podcast was watching the first episode of season 4 or doing a special episode. And ... turns out, they're doing a special episode. So we will NOT be watching and commenting on "20 Hours in America Part 1" next week (sigh), and we will also be saving the movie Junebug to watch on a week when we're also watching Amy Adams in one of those "20 Hours" episodes. Instead, we'll watch the 1998 film Playing by Heart, which you've probably never heard of and will therefore be surprised by the number of actors in it you recognize. We give a shout-out to all that need-to-do stuff waiting on us, and then stuff it back in our purses and inboxes for a little while longer. |
