J & I saw Finding Nemo yesterday and we were the only people in the theatre without children. And I think we laughed the loudest. It was so great! We’re big Pixar fans anyway, but this was just the most beautiful, funny, film. It really is the most gorgeous Pixar movie they’ve made. Aside from…

Last night after work J and I went to see a baseball game. It was such a perfect night for a game. No humidity, and it was so cool from all the rain it was almost chilly. I had won free tickets from work so we had amazing seats. We were up 4 rows from…

Reading Andrea’s 100 Things list yesterday made me think of all the cars I’ve had. (Her #100 thing was a list of cars she’s owned.) I have some great memories and funny stories featuring my fleet. First car was a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88. I bought it when I was 16 years old for $568.…

J: Don’t drink the milk in the jug with the white label. Shannon: Ok. Why not? J: Because it’s out of date by 2 days and even though it’s just fine , I know how you are about not wanting to eat spoiled food. *Note that he says this last part in a hoighty toighty…

So we’ve begun construction of our ark. Just kidding, but I swear we need to get started if the weather keeps up this funky pattern. It’s been raining like the end of the world then breaking for an hour or so, then misting, then monsoon again. We had about 2 hours of sunshine yesterday. It’s…

Birthday to my little sister Sara! She’s 27 today. We just returned from a Memorial Day party at the lake. I’m waiting on J to shower then we’re heading out for Sara’s birthday dinner. I can’t wait to give her her presents. We got her a tray, pitcher, bowls, flatware, serving bowls, plates, and set…

Today my heart hurts for Lisa. She lost her mom this morning. Please say a prayer for her and her family. Lisa, I’m so, so sorry. Please know I’m here for you. xoxo

Oh, and today, five years ago, J and I were at our friend Kevin’s birthday party when we met up, stayed up all night talking, and I decided that was it. I was going to marry this man. Then I did. xoxo

We are 5 inches over for the year on rain. It’s been raining for 3 days straight and they are expecting 3 inches by the end of the weekend. This is all happening in the same place where just a year ago we were suffering from drought conditions and they were ticketing people for being…

I love that iPod commercial with that guy singing “Baby Got Back”. It cracks me up so much. I love that he’s so serious in his love of the song, and he even hits the high note when he gets to the “…me so h*orny” part. I hope Sir Mixalot is livin large on some…
