The school changed the bus pick up time. It is now 90 minutes before school starts. Isn’t that ridiculous? I offered to drive the kids to school because that extra hour in traffic is stupid. (We live 3 miles from the school!!) However, Brian wanted to still ride the bus, but Max wanted me to […]

Question of the Day
How come when people (authors) say that sweat is sexy, they are talking about sport sweat or working-on-the-car sweat and never mean hunched-over-the-bathtub-scrubbing-soap-scum sweat? Just wondering. I gotta go mop my brow and get back to scrubbing.
Brian \o/
Brian’s really tearing it up at school, in a good way. He received the first High Flying Hawk Award for his class for embodying the monthly theme of Peace. He has all A’s on his progress report. He scored 100% on his first two Accelerated Reader tests. He has all 100% on his spelling tests […]
Two cute boys!
I’ve been messing with photoshop again and the results are fantastic! Never will I have to worry about one kid not smiling at the right time again! (Knock on wood.) I started out with two pictures, where the kids were smiling in separate pics: and I turned it into one cute pic of the both […]
Cookies!
Kevin’s mom sent him a giant Congratulations cookie to celebrate his promotion: She ordered from Two Smart Cookies and they did a great job. Just passing it along in case anyone in Savannah needs some awesome cookies.
I Got a C!
Our CEO came in today and wanted to see me in his office. Now, this doesn’t happen all that often, so I was a little surprised. But, it was good news! Since I’ve been at Music Intelligence Solutions, I’ve been referred to as everything from “Lead Engineer”, to “Lead Technical Architect” to, in rare cases, […]
A TV show made for me!!
I saw a commercial for the tv show, My Kid Is Smarter Than Me. This isn’t a jokey show like Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, it’s a reality show about kiddie-geniuses and how their parents try to keep up with them, keep them grounded, and well-rounded. Sounds like something Kevin and I should […]
Lookie what I did!
My mother-in-law is going to hate this; my mom will love it! I went with a traditional bob, as a nod to my old-lady/mom-status. But I am rocking the pink streaks as a nod to my fabulousness! I am so glad we got a bunch of formal family pictures taken over the summer. 🙂
Question Authority!
I watched the documentary 8: The Mormon Proposition about the LDS Church’s involvement in getting California’s Prop 8 passed. It was depressing as hell, no lie, and I felt like I had just watched a movie about the holocaust. I encourage you all to watch it too.\ Non-LDS should watch, and then speak out about […]
Murray Wilson Is Awesome
My pal Murray Wilson does great things – he and AWOL take kids the system doesn’t want and teaches them to take apart, clean and refurbish computers the system doesn’t want – computers that would otherwise go to the landfill. They then put linux on them and put them out into the community with families […]
