Going Green

We had a stormy afternoon today. With the drought we've been going through, it was lovely. After the storm clouds passed overhead the air turned this weird green / yellow. I grabbed a camera. Can you see the strange color in the air?

Yay for pie

Sk8r Slide Show

Wilson's Raid

E-child made cute cupcakes for Meg's birthday. Then she left them on the counter.....and walked away.

Oops.

Have I mentioned that Wilson can reach the countertop when he stands on his back legs?

Here's a picture of the snack he got to before E-child found him at it and ROARED at him. Scared him out of his wits!

Fun House Slide Show

Have I ever mentioned that living in my household is like living in an alternate universe? Elsewhere in America families eat Cap'n Crunch with milk, shampoo with Herbal Essences and brush their teeth with Crest, then they watch Desperate Housewives or Survivor. In our house? Not so much.

Here's a little slide of the freak show that is our house....scroll over the photos to see captions.

R.E.M.

A conversation with Abby today inspired this post.

I love REM. Michael Stipe is brilliant. He's also eccentric, but I don't hold that against you, why would I hold it against him? lol



I found a link where you can listen to an entire live REM concert from Stubb's at SXSW (I nearly died when I read about it the next morning in the paper) and you can download a single from the latest CD, for free. Go. Now! What are you waiting for?

And tell Abby if you see her that REM has sold 70 million records. The B52s have sold 9 million. Snap!
