So I took the kids to this place last week- Atlantis. It's a Marine/Aquarium type thing way way out on Long Island. Having been to the Baltimore Aquarium - it's sort of small in comparison, however driving them to Baltimore at 4.15 a gallon for gas - Long Island was the better choice. I rented a wheelchair, which was really threefold in reasons - ( Read more... )

First, I hope all the Joss Whedon fans got their fix in with Dr. Horrible's sing-a-long blog. If you missed it? BUY THE DVD. I plan to preorder it. Two copies. One to wear out watching, and the other to save just in case I'm stupid enough to lend my first copy out and it goes out of print. (ie: Heavy Metal, Street Fighter). It was AWESOME ( Read more... )

As of 4:15 today, it's official. I am a mom. MY kids. MY daughter. MY son.

There are no words!

So there's like a ton of stuff going on that I'll write about when I get the chance, but I wanted to get this one out before I forgot ( Read more... )
