Something to Consider

From bad to better

What was a bad day at work turned into a delightful evening when I stumbled upon

You've Got Mail on tv tonight. Oh to have that little book store....

Peaceful Sunday Mornings

Cemented in our spots until Lolly or Mister wake up

Happy 4th

Here in Atlanta the 4th means the Peachtree Road Race. I am happy to be watching it from the dryness and comfort of my couch. Yesterday Mister asked how come you don't run the Peachtree anymore? My response..."because I am lazy"...I like to tell it like it is. I think it's time to replace that laziness with some motivation..

Happy Father's Day

To the man who no one can hold a candle to!

Internet Cool Kids

As Dave Grohl lovers, when I saw this tweeted yesterday I asked Lolly if she had seen this, she said yeah, I made it and posted it on my tumblr....I may not be one of the cool kids but I've raised one.

No truer words...

Me too Dave, me too!

Enough said

That's a wrap

Today a film crew was set up outside my window at work. My co-workers were preoccupied with finding out what and who. Unfortunately for me corporate responsibility called and I missed most of the action. It turned out to be Necessary Roughness and Scott Cohen. What I learned is that it takes an incredible amount of takes to capture someone walking a few feet and stopping to answer a phone.

Happy Mother's Day

Nothing makes me happier than spending time with the best mother and the best daughter I could ever ask for.

If you asked, none us would say we looked our best. But all I really see is the happiness of that moment

Crazy Talk

"You're not getting a tattoo until your taste in high school boys improves"
             ~ me to Lolly after a week of boy drama

MIA

It's been awhile. A lot has gone down since March.

• A new position at work
• Lolly turned 16 which included two birthday parties
• Lolly had her Confirmation at church
• I lost 10-12lbs, depending on the day

Well that doesn't seem like a lot but it took up a lot of time.

Rare

Lolly: " I am rare like a unicorn. I am in highschool and I haven't had sex, I don't drink, and I don't do drugs"


I have a whole new appreciation for unicorns.

Happy Mardi Gras

If I could, I would, be right there in the middle of it all today.

Boy, how I love New Orleans...the place of some of my most decadent memories. I'll just leave it at that.

Enjoy the day!

Day of Love

I hope your day is filled with nothing but love!


....and maybe a little bit of chocolate.

48 Years Ago Today

Poser

Do you have one of those poser friends on facebook? Well I do. You know the ones that make you want to roll your eyes.

Here's today's:

Note to self - buy flowers for the wife today. Just because...

Maybe it's just me, maybe I am just hyper critical. But is this really about doing something nice for your wife or is about seeing how many likes and comments you can get about how wonderful you are?

Followers

Pretty soon I am going to have more followers on Pinterest than I do here on my blog. Funny thing is I haven't pinned one stinkin thing. Just one look at Pinterest and I knew it was a problem. The time suckage that wonderful could cause is frightening.

How about you, are you pinning?

Thinning of the Herd

Yestersday we had to say goodbye to Lolly's cat Cupcake. She had stopped eating. Seriously, I am not meant for pet ownership. Not to be morbid but we have another cat and two dogs. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph I can't stomach the idea having to be in that position three more times...I am off to have a good cry.

Act Your Age

To the lady on ABC Sunday morning talking politics I think I know who are but you look nothing like yourself: If you are over 40, your forehead should move when you talk. I am not against a little botox or what have you. But absolutely no movement is so obvious. As obvious the black turtleneck your wearing to hide your neck.

We are all going to grow old and wrinkled. Maybe we should face facts and embrace it. Or at least remember everything is better in moderation and that includes injections...
