Anyone ever noticed that when Martha gives a compliment, it sounds like a slam?  Andrea Bocelli is on today, and she mentioned that his "Live from Tuscany" concert is on PBS right now.  She says, "It's so nice to see it again and again, night after night, it's so lovely."  (Or something to that effect.)  Yeah, it HAS been on a lot, but there's no ( Read more... )

 I just discovered a super-fun MySpace page. Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam on The Office, said that her friend always dishes about Project Runway in her blog.  I checked it out and decided to share.

I've been trying to get my mail for almost 2 hours now.  Anyone know if it's down?  Or is it my computer freaking out?  (It's been sketchy ever since I downloaded Explorer 7.  That night DH says, "Oh, people are having trouble with that.  I would have stuck with IE6 for now."  Oh.  Too late.)

Santa asked, "A Thomas train?"

We went to my aunt's house in Placerville (Sierra foothills, goldrush country) for the weekend.  We had a really great trip (especially Zachary), and we picked out a tree at the tree farm that borders my aunt's property.  Drove it home 2 1/2 hours, listening to Bryan fuss the whole way.  ("Can you see it?  Is it still on the car?  Look, there's ( Read more... )
