It's my man's birthday! 450 years young!
I've always had a super crush on Shakespeare. Some years, I've baked cupcakes; all years, I've tried to generate enthusiasm amongst other people. Oddly, not everyone is as excited about Shakespeare as I am. But who cares? I love him!
Now that I have a precious son, I'm trying to help him enjoy Shakespeare. I didn't have any Shakespeare-themed clothes for him this year (epic mom/Shakespeare scholar FAIL), so you'll have to enjoy this picture of him last year! He can say "Shakespeare" now but I couldn't get a good video of it. (Alas!)
In honor of the birthday boy (and because I don't have time to bake cupcakes), I thought I'd post my current ranking of Shakespeare plays! They're in order from least to most liked, as of 2:49 p.m. on 4/23/2014. If you're amazed at any of my choices, feel free to talk to me. And, remember, the order is always changing!
