Thanks, Maeg.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm so excited! My favorite valentine is due to arrive on Thursday! There will be lots of smooching and hugging, endless smiles and giggling, much showing and sharing of things and stuff, and total and complete adoration, as there should be with one's favorite valentine!



How did I get so incredibly lucky?

Love is in the air!

Well, it's official! Flannery and Ryan are engaged! Yipee! Let the fun begin! Welcome to the family, Ryan! Of course, you've been part of the family for some time now, but let's just make this official! The timing couldn't be more perfect. Flanny's older sister, Maeg, is coming from Vashon Island this week, and that will give us gals time to pour over bride magazines, discuss weddings no one in their right mind would ever have (or be able to pay for), as well as perhaps generate some ideas that are actually feasible! Oooohhhh, the fun! The planning! The drinking while we're planning! Oops. Did I type that out loud?

Since there is normally more testosterone in this house than estrogen, I am looking forward to all the "girl" stuff (I know, hard to believe this is coming from me, isn't it?) Maybe it's that fortune I found in my fortune cookie a while back: "Get in touch with your feminine side". Suddenly, I'm growing my hair out (another topic for discussion with the gals, since it's at a really awkward, ugly, 'it's driving me crazy' stage), and I'm dreaming about the color pink, and fluffy, feminine, beautiful wedding-type stuff. Pink! Me and pink!

Such fun! Congratulations to Flannery and Ryan! Love you both!

The Obama Gardens

Wow. Who knew? I was watching an old episode of Frasier the other night, and I saw this commercial for the Obama Chia Pet. I was laughing so hard, I thought I would choke. Apparently, I am the only person alive that did NOT know such a thing existed. I saw this right after (within the same week) Obama delivered his State of the Union address. I wonder how many people rushed out to buy the Obama Chia Pet?
