Last year, the mother of Ferris and Simone’s mother sent us pictures of the kittens. They were tiny. As in, just born, eyes barely open. Neal and I wanted two, and my mom was going to take two.
Simone just stuck out at me. I remember calling my mom and saying, take your pic, but I [...]

So I’m really looking forward to this weekend. I’ll get to see my family, Neal’s family and our close friends. Couldn’t get much better than that! Holiday weekends rock.
So, I’m planning a Pampered Chef party the end of September. I’m REALLY excited about it, because it will be fun to hang out with friends/family, have [...]

So, my body hates me today. It hated me yesterday, too, and a little Saturday night. But it definitely completely loathes and detests me today for making it play wiffleball, thereby using muscles that haven’t been used (sadly) in a long time. I walked like I had a stick up my ass all day, and [...]

So, the Fluffy Kittens made their debut this weekend at the 2008 Wiffleball Tournament.

Each team played three games, and then it was playoffs.
So what if we lost every game by the 10-run mercy rule. We had fun, and looked damn good doing it!

So, the afternoon was tons of fun. We had such a good time [...]

So, we had a crapload of trash from our little deck project this weekend – carpet, wooden trim, metal canopy remnants.
Our spot on the curb for trash day tomorrow is a little full.

Sorry for the dark picture.
This was taken five minutes after some guy in a pickup truck took away our panels from the metal [...]

So, yesterday, Amanda told me she thinks Neal looks like Nascar driver Carl Edwards (who won some race yesterday).
They showed a replay of him doing a backflip off of his car after the race and then he flashed a big grin. Right away Andi said “It’s the teeth.” HAHA.
So I went home and said “Neal, [...]

So, Neal spent some more time on our deck Sunday, caulking up around the house and generally cleaning up. I helped a little, but mostly I spent some time cleaning and getting ready to head to Jess’s to make our shirts for next weekend’s wiffleball tournament.
Before I left, we hung up the picture frames above [...]

So, Saturday was an extremely productive day for Neal and I.
First, I had to sleep in. The Olympics — and Michael Phelps — has been killing me, HAHA. I was up late every night this week and needed to sleep in. Neal started making noise at 9:30, and I think that was my cue to [...]

R.I.P DeLonghi.
You will be missed.
You were with Neal and I from the beginning, back in the early days when we lived among the shag carpet on King Street. We sipped your caffeinated nectar in the early days of our marriage.
You were there for us through all those tough, early work-week mornings. I enjoyed your paper-less [...]

So, I’m obsessed with the Olympics. I am so freakin’ exhausted this week because I have been up so late watching the Olympics EVERY NIGHT. It’s ridiculous. I’m obsessed with Michael Phelps and the men’s gymnastics team. I do have a stud for a husband at home, but he can’t do a pommel horse routine.
So [...]

So Jodie and Dan finally got hitched on Friday, 8/8/08. Yay! I had a half day at work and Neal and I made it to the wedding right on time. Everything was gorgeous. Jodie was breathtakingly beautiful. I started blubbering as soon as she started walking down the aisle. Not a lot of my pics [...]

So, on any given day if you drop by my house, you’ll see a lot of wires. Those wires are attached to our laptops, that seem to find themselves left all over our house. I usually keep mine in the living room, on the coffee table. Neal takes his to work with him everyday, but [...]

So, my pics were acting up last post and I got frustrated and just stopped, HAHA, so here’s the continuation of the weekend.
Neal and I stopped at BJ’s on the way home from the family reunion and then I came home and slept for TWO hours. Yeah, I love to sleep. Simone cuddled with me [...]

So, my work week was pretty busy and I didn’t have a lot of time to post. I’ll start with Thursday. My friend Amanda and I went to the mall to shop for gifts for Jodie’s bachelorette party. I couldn’t go, but I wanted to send along some fun XXX-rated goodies. Jodie couldn’t make it [...]
