AND NOW, BILLY MAYS

IF I WAS SOMEBODY FAMOUS I'D BE FEELING A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT NOW.

FOR SOME REASON I ACTUALLY FEEL WORST ABOUT BILLY MAYS. WHEN I WAS LYING ON THE COUCH THIS MORNING AND WATCHING HIS NEW SHOW, HE WAS VERY RECENTLY DEAD. THE WORLD IS DEFINITELY A LESS ZESTY PLACE WITHOUT HIM.

the playset assembly has begun. the instructions say it takes two adults 6-12 hours to complete. so far, kevin and i have managed to identify all the thousands of pieces and confirm that all are present. i think that took us two hours. i'm not sure if that time is actually included in the total construction time or not ( Read more... )

alexander turns three this friday. that just seems absolutely crazy to me, but that's not going to stop him. we're having a big cookout saturday, where hopefully lots of his 'friends' (people he knows) will be here to play with him and watch him go nuts over all the super-crazy-cool stuff he's getting. he's getting a big plastic baseball bat with ( Read more... )

well, nothing really super-exciting has happened over the past few days. i worked all weekend, but nothing horribly exciting or funny even happened there. the best things that have happened all are things alexander said/did, actually ( Read more... )

pretty much the same-old here. nothing much going on. the boys enjoyed their easter baskets and have been having a good time with the plastic eggs, and their cartoon action figures - sesame street for nathaniel, wonder pets for alexander. he's been taking his to sleep with him ( Read more... )

jeez. another whole week has gone by and i'm not even sure how it happened. life's still just chugging along with no major anything going on. i worked all weekend. i kicked out a huge group of people saturday night, told them i was not going to allow them to get service in my restaurant, that if and when they decide to act like civilized humans ( Read more... )
