All is not lost…

…but Dirk Nowitzki just lost the ball. So my confidence in the Mavs is fading. And I figure, why no

Don’t shoot…I’m part Italian!!*

So, the point of this photo is baby Nicole. But…are there not about a dozen disturbing things about it? My jeans, my glasses, Amy’s glasses and side ponytail (oh, wait, side ponytails are now cool again, yeah?), whatever Nathanael’s hiding behind his back? Most disturbing thing of all…the animal hide sprawled out on the wall behind us. How is Nicole …

Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition

I’ve broken just about every blogging rule in the book in the past five or six months.   I’ve posted only sporadically.   I’ve topic-hopped like nobody’s business.   And I’ve changed the design three or four times.   Probably I should win an award for Most Rebellious Blogger. (And I’d be happy to accept my prize in cash…or Diet …

Royally Snubbed.

No, I won’t be watching the wedding at 4 a.m.! 🙂 So, I’m trying really hard not to be offended that Will and Kate didn’t invite me to their wedding. I mean, I can understand falling lower on the guest list than the Queen…the Duke and Duchess of Kent…the Crown Prince of Bahrain…even the King of Swaziland. But I thought …

Why moving to Florida might be the smartest thing ever.

I’m in Clearwater, Florida. Where geckos roam the sand and egrets chill on the beach. And where the 2011 MBT Deep Thinkers Retreat has taken over the two-story house at 302 Cedar. I’ll write more about the retreat itself at a later date. Right now, we’re talking strictly Florida fascination. Here goes: Swimming in February. It hit me this afternoon, …

I declare…

So, a coworker named Denise – otherwise known as “Senior Staff” – recently alerted me to a new possibility in my life. Something wonderful enough to rank up there with Cadbury chocolate and corn on the cob and curry. Ooh, and bonfires. (Thought I should throw in that last one to prove not all the things I consider “wonderful” are …

Anything goes tonight.

I’m cheating this evening. This isn’t a real post with any real point. But if you hang on ’til the end, you’re in for a treat. I promise.  *It was my turn to blog at the MBT Ponderers today! That is a real blog post with a real point! Check it out here. *I’m sick. Again. Oh, faithful immune system, why have you turned on me? Only good thing about …

Merry Christmas and Happy Ollie-Days!

*I get to see Ollie-pie in two weeks. Two weeks! So, I’ve been thinking about ways I could make the next two weeks go faster. Ideas: a) Go to sleep every evening right after work and sleep through ’til morning, practically cutting my awake time in half. (Requires Nyquil.) b) Take a two-week vacation…because vacations always go way too fast. …
