Friday, August 29th, 2008I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime... one major political party ticket has a black man and the other has a woman. Completely and totally awesome.

phelps wins 8, damn skippy
Saturday, August 16th, 2008I look forward to one day telling my kids that yes, I watched Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. And yes, I was probably working during every race and your dad was playing PSP, but we both PAUSED to watch Phelps. Every. damn. time. And it was ...
on olympics and family vacations
Saturday, August 16th, 2008Chop gave me grief today for not blogging for awhile, and the truth is, it's been a long couple of weeks. My best friend from high school and her husband stayed with us for a couple of days, then the morning they left, his parents flew in and stayed with us ...

somebody’s getting old…
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Today, the Porkchop turns 33, and while that's not a milestone in number, it's his first birthday since college when he didn't have a job. I'm not sure what that means he's going to do today, but I suspect it will involve sleeping late and playing Madden NFL. Sadly I had to ...
hometown glory
Monday, February 11th, 2008Adele, Hometown Glory... I am loving her. Sis, I think she's right up your alley. I first heard her a couple of months ago on Perez (yes, I read PerezHilton, I can't help it, he's funny) and was very irritated she only had stuff out in the UK. But apparently someone got ...
