I love having a stick shift.
It means that if you’re tailgating me when I’m driving (ahem) 35 on Tennessee Ave at 3:15 PM, as the winner in the red pickup found, I will be able to immediately drop my speed to 20.
And then immediately bring it back up to 35.
Still there? Well how bout [...]

Tasty Dinner
May 11, 2008; 8:25 pm
Each week we try to plan out our meals. Some weeks we go with all the ol’ stand-bys. They are favorites around here. But sometimes we feel the itch to try new things… they are fun for us to make together (and cooking is something we LOVE to do together) and it’s always interesting to [...]

I’ve always felt that motherhood is the most challenging, exacting, important, amazing role that any person can play in the world. Don’t get me wrong, as a father myself, I’m a fan of good daddies, but theres something in the way that little kids (and big kids) look at a mom, whether its when [...]

To my sweet girl…

It’s another birthday day at our house. My rotti-lab mix is 12 years old today. Cami’s been with me since my sophomore year in college. What a wonderful soul to have traveled with me through so many different stages in life!
She’s patient and loving. She’s the smartest dog I’ve ever known. Of course, she knows [...] -

Yeah, it was a bit too big for the theme, I know, and I’m working on on that, thanks.
But the point is, it was a great freakin video. I just found it this morning, and enjoyed the hell out of it. Hot Chip has been one of my favoritist musical treats [...] -

The “burn” of the sunburn is about cleared up. Now we have itchies…
Don’t be surprised to see anyone one of us (except Wildcat, of course) using buildings, trees or any textured surface to scratch our peeling sunburn….
These guys have figured it out.. -
Home alone…
May 8, 2008; 8:17 pm
Well, Notat had the evening at home tonight while I am pulling the weekly closing shift.
I got these text messages a couple hours ago… he had just gotten home from work and picking up the boys. These span over about 20 minutes. (note: we keep the pup in the kitchen when gone for more [...] -
Things we’re doing with our dead skin
May 8, 2008; 2:14 pm
So, like I said earlier, we went to the beach and got a king hell sunburn. After dealing with the ow days, the glassy shard shower days, and the glowing radioactive death body days, we’re now on the shedding days.
Its like a smorgasborg of shedding, and everybody’s doing it in different ways. Bell is able [...] -

Happy Birthday, Wildcat!
May 7, 2008; 2:34 pm
So, its the boy’s birthday.
As this is a newey blog and stuff, we’ve been coming up with new supersecret internet names, as discussed in some of the recent comments. Obviously, mine isn’t very imaginative.
The 5 6 yr old is now at the age where he can come up with one, and he got all [...]
