Sooooo, yesterday I opened my big mouth and told you I’d be posting before and after bikini photos of myself today. Then I pressed ‘publish,’ had a small aneurysm, and fell under my desk. Anyway, you’ve probably checked out the photos by now so let me get right to the point before my in-laws call and beg me to drop my married name from this blog. ...Continue Reading »
Every now and then, while I'm sitting at my desk behind a monitor of code, I wonder if there's a different job which would better suit me.
THIS IS NOT IT, THOUGH, PEOPLE!!!!!
If you don't have time to watch the entire video, skip to 1:55 - 'Free Climbing.'
I’m working on a big post for tomorrow where I plan to include before and after photos of myself in a bikini. I’ve been feeling a little insecure and unsure of myself lately, so I thought: Yeah! Lets try on bathing-suits! And if I really want to cheer myself up, I’ll make sure and change into them under florescent lighting! ...Continue Reading »
Ben and I spent a good chunk of our weekend purchasing storage containers and dumping the contents of our bedroom closets into the center of the room. You guys, our marriage? What can I say? David Copperfield called, and he wants his magic back. ...Continue Reading »
After Heidi and Whitney got done dissecting and molesting their respective sandwiches at lunch today, I gave them some M&M's. That's right, candy before noon. In fact, I only gave them the red ones... ...Continue Reading »
I haven’t been to the dentist in four years. Now, I realize some of you just read that sentence and went slack-jawed and wide-eyed as if I told you I grind up puppies in a food mill. I’m quite aware that in some social circles, missing four years of dental appointments is akin to setting libraries on fire. But in my defense, I don’t particularly care for dental exams, which I feel is reason enough to let my teeth rot-out. That, and my mom is dead and isn’t around to nag me about tartar build-up. Silver-lining people, silver-lining.
O.K. grinding puppies in food mills, burning libraries and dead moms. Anyone still here? ...Continue Reading »
Here’s Lexi selling avocados from the front door of our house in Merida, Mexico last summer. She’d picked the avocados from the tree in our backyard, and since it’s fairly common place to see people selling home grown produce and meat from their doorsteps, she wanted in on the action. ...Continue Reading »
Ben posted this down in his basement today, but I'm doubling up here, because sometimes we all need a little reassurance that the world hasn't fallen off its axis. Sure, Christine O'Donnell may be one step closer to legislating chastity belts, but then a video like this comes along and reminds us all that sometimes the Universe gets it right.
The following video has been around for awhile, but I stumbled upon it again the other day. I love it because lately, I've been have a string of run-ins with drivers like this tool.
I especially love the 'silent' laughing of the skateboarders.
Since Lexi’s been home sick the last couple of days, Whitney’s had to ride the morning bus without her big sister. Initially, Whitney was a little apprehensive about going solo, but then this morning, Ben overheard her singing in the bathroom: I’m riding the bus...aaaalooone today! I’m riding the bus...aaaalooone today! ...Continue Reading »
