We now have a Wii. Joshua has already played bowling with me. It is so much fun. Between that and watching three different anime series last night (I love the Anime Network!), I feel like all I need now is a job in IT. Oh wait...already have that too ( Read more... )

Apparently Battlestar Galactica is ending with the upcoming season. There will be an extended episode in November and then the rest of the final season in 2008 ( Read more... )

3 hour min flight delay

Headed out to San Diego for the next four days. I won't get back until Sunday. Joshua keeps telling me I need to go to Radiator Springs (those of you familiar with "Cars" know where I'm talking about) or at least go see "Mr. The King".

Sunday morning we did brunch at the Ritz Carlton - Josh got to color, see the Easter Bunny (since we don't celebrate easter really, Josh thinks it's just something weird we do every year at ( Read more... )

Upside- distributing books at an elementary school, tiny little crocuses unfolding in our front yard, amazing clarity on how blessed I am to have Joshua
Downside- heartbreaking sadness at work, baby caskets

No one should ever have to bury their child. The universe reinforced this week that the Ides of March are truly suck ass.

Joshua asked the other day why some potato chips were dark brown. I said that it was cause they had been left in the oven too long (thinking that he wouldn't know what a fryer was). He proceeded to tell me that I was wrong. So here is how some chips actually end up brown- the chips are lying on the road and a car hits them. It causes the chip to ( Read more... )
