(half a ) Milestone

Another milestone in our relationship:
we've made it to six months. That's exciting!
Those six months have been filled with concerts, family visits, holidays, jobs, food, couple-type fights, friends and neighbors, the GIANTS BEATING the pats, flowers, and thousands of other things that bring joy and laughter to our home.


By the way, it was 70 today. Hello February!

HAAAA!

"I used to love that song. Until you ruined it."

Oh Ben!

thought

while making our food for the super bowl Mike and I listened to a wonderful mix of soft ballads. This included, but is not limited to:
Air Supply
Chicago
Boston
Ambrosia
REO Speedwagon
Foreigner

the list goes on, but here's my thought. Michael McDonald was featured on way too many songs to count. Thus my conclusion:
Michael McDonald is the Timbaland of the 70's and 80's.

ponder

I long for simpler times when a the only problems children had were putting up with annoying classmates, schoolyard 'love', and the fact that mom is "making me eat these gross things (veggies)."

Instead, today, this is what I overhear after a fifth grader tries to get me off track about computers...
girl- "our computer was stolen."
boy- "how does someone walk off with your computer?"
girl- [in a not so discreet voice] "my mom's old boyfriend, that's how"
boy- [stupified silence]
