Another weekend, another trip away

July is a busy month.

The boy and I are off to Birmingham for a wedding weekend.  We get a short reprieve next weekend, and then it's off to fun at the beach in Hilton Head at the end of the month.

I leave you with this from Stuff On My Cat.com.  Cheers!

Tell Me Why

Why is it that every time I try to do any online banking, something goes wrong?

Why is it that when I call, I have to be on hold "for an expected wait time of 6 minutes"?

Why is it that as soon as I have to hold, I also have to pee?

Why did my expected wait time just jump to "greater than 10 minutes"?

I got this dress off of Bluefly.com at an absurd price.

Was it extremely discounted? Yes.

Was it more than I should ever spend on anything that I will probably only wear one or two times? Oh yes.

Will I be dancing around in it and modeling it for the dog in the living room regardless of that? Oh hell yes.

I went from green to blue.

I updated my about page and changed my pic.

I changed the tag line.

I'll probably make more changes at the dorkathon tonight.

Stay tuned.

I’m Back!

I'm back from my whirlwhind trip home to see my new niece.  It was great to spend time with my mom, sister, and brother-in-law, and the baby is absolutely adorable.  And chunky.  And goofy.  I spent a good deal of time fighting with my mom over who gets to hold her.

Here's me finally meeting her:

I finally meet Jordin!

And obviously we had to go get dim sum.  She's not really into it yet, though.

First dim sum!

My mom watched the baby one night and my sis, brother in law, and I went to eat Giant Ass Chicken Nachos™ and beer.

After wrestling Jordin from my mom, I let her sleep on my boobs.  See, they're good for something!

My boobs make good pillows

Since I'm the educator in the family, I thought I'd go ahead and start teaching her gang signs.

She's also pretty good at kung-fu.

Everybody was kung fu fightin'

Here's a pic of all the girls (my sis, me, baby, mom).

All in all it was a great trip.  I'll be back soon, and hopefully she won't grow too much!
