Here we go again!!

I realize that I was so excited about my first adventure into YouTube that I forgot to actually write anything about this video. Yes, this is OUR baby. The video was taken Monday, Feb. 26, when I was about 11 weeks and 3 days. The estimated due date is Sept. 15 (a great month, as about 10 of my favorite people were born then!). Anyway, we're pretty excited to have a healthy-looking kid growing in there. Stay tuned!

NO NO NO!!!

According to an AP news story, "Studio 60 was pulled from NBC's schedule this week after 15 episodes, although the network said the backstage Hollywood drama will return at some point this season."

Don't take away one of our favorite shows!!

In other news, I'm making garlic cheese grits. Cannot tell you how exciting that is. The next 8 minutes of cook time can't pass fast enough!

Come on, Hawaii

Yay for Hawaii for passing the anti-smoking legislation that went into effect this past November. However, get with the enforcement program! Making regular citizens file complaints with the police against offenders isn't the best solution, considering people's fears about getting involved and/or suffering retaliation from crazed nicotine junkies.

Smoking kills people. Second-hand smoke kills people. When there's attempted murder, police should act with swift hands to protect the innocent. This guy in this photo looks so smug that I really want to shave his tongue with a vegetable peeler. Then again, the smoke will eventually do that, so I guess I'll just have to wait a little longer. :o)
