My little sister Morgan got herself a puppy yesterday. He’s a 2 month old beagle-lab mix that she named Charlie Bean. He’s a real cutie, but she’s already learning the responsibilities of pet ownership. “Aw man, he’s drinking again, that means he’s gonna have to pee in a little while.” She called me this morning…

Quick little update on where we are in the adoption process. I’ve downloaded the applications for our passports. We’ve paid off our cars, thus freeing up 2 car payments worth of mulah each month that will go into the adoption account. We opened a safe deposit box at our bank to store important papers until…

My MIL gave me this cute little gerbera daisy on Independence Day. I need to transplant it, but I feel so sorry for it because I know that by living in my care it has been dealt a death sentence. There are teeny little buds in there though, so there’s hope. This morning I got…

While tropical depression Cindy made for a rainy, nasty day here in the Carolinas, Jon and I braved the elements yesterday to get some errands taken care of. When we got home we found that we had lost a shutter to Cindy, but we’ll take that over our neighbors who’s tree landed in their living…

Talking about the Real World the other day, and how I’ve never kissed a girl, got me thinking about what other things I haven’t done. You know, things that would seem everyone, or a lot of people, have done. And I’ve not avoided these things on purpose, they’ve just never come up. Here’s a partial…

So I’ve been reading a lot of Real Simple magazine lately. My MIL the librarian brought over 3 back issues and I had purchased the June issue. That magazine is chock full of information. However it has made me realize that I either live in a world where time seriously flies, or I’m just not…

Every Independence Day we would drive downtown along with a half million other people and sit in traffic to watch the public fireworks. Then we moved here, across the state line, and our lives changed. Fireworks are legal in my state. Our neighbors take this seriously. Last night we were treated to a show that…

Ike & Kea got all dressed up for the occasion. Click to enlarge.

Have you seen the show 30 Days on FX? It’s by Morgan Spurlock, the dude behind Super Size Me. Each week either Morgan or someone else tries something out for 30 days. It is very interesting. We just watched last week’s episode about a Christian living with Muslims for 30 days. Who knew? There’s so…

Last night I took Morgan to see Bewitched (cute enough, but you’re better off just putting it in your queue). After the movie we went to the restroom. While in the stall we heard a jet engine. Turns out it was a new hand dryer. The only hand dryer that’s ever worked where I didn’t…
