Merry Hump Day!

How's that picture for an opener!? Apparently our new trick is "Soooo Big". I can't WAIT to see it! It's killing me. Anywho, Happy Wednesday. I know Maeve looks a little special in that pic but i adore it. And look at her hands. I think she is going to be a dancer...she already has good form!!!!! We might need to work on her stage facial expressions though. :)

Sooooo it is official. Mama, I'm comin home. It has been an INCREDIBLY hard decision, but my heart is and will always be in b-lo. I am going to be going back to school and getting my masters and teaching certification. We all know how i despise school but you gotta do what you gotta do. I think it is the best decision for me and it will provide me with a stable supportive job that has tons of options and flexibility. I will NOT be giving up on my wildlife passion but i think i need to face reality and realize i personally cannot make a stable career out of it. This makes me very sad, but it does not mean i have to give it up. It just means I need to explore other options. :)

Something else i need to do that make me so happy that has been missing for so long...Performing. I miss the crap out of it. I know it's bad when i go to see shows and i can barely sit in my seat i'm so excited and jealous of those onstage. I literally work myself into a full on tizzy trying to regain my compusure and attempt to look like any other regular theater goer. Needless to say i'm excited to get back and to get working to get my 'perform' on.

I have a crazy couple of weeks coming up that are going to fly by. I am going to a wildlife conference in CA next week. It will be my first time on the west coast, for an amazing conference. I can't wait!! Then i will be traveling home for a bit for 2 weddings of 2 very close friends of mine. I will be flying back here for a second in a half and then it's game time. My oh so generous and pregnant sister and her husband have graciously offered to come down and move me home. I can't tell you how much this means to me. Lisa has never seen what I do and what I am passionate about. I can't wait to show off the fun things I do and hopefully pass off why this is such an incredibly hard thing to leave.

Thank you everyone for your support. This is going to be a tough transition for me and it is happening very fast so please bare with me. Don't get me wrong i can't wait to come home...I don't why i have been fighting the inevitable for so long. :)

Ok i want to leave on a funny note. We all know my affinity for funny t-shirts. I will never be too old to stop loving them. My favorite t-shirt website threadless tee's has just come out with a new shirt. It's called Gay Pride...and by god it's the most fabulous t-shirt ever!!! I'm not sure if you know the amount of gay men in my life right now...but i might buy every single one of them this shirt, cause it's that brilliant!!!

OK Merry Hump Day!!! Have a good one!

Diet Coke & Mentos

Now i know we have all heard of or seen this odd chemical reaction...well these guys have taken it to the next level.


Oh wait...it gets better...


Those who sent this craziness to me said it perfectly:

"TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS!!!"

"WHAT A WASTE OF DIET COKE!!!"

None the less....pretty cool :)

Weekend roundup


I had a really good weekend. It all started on friday when after work we had, what i have learned from veteren Delawarians, as a "porch night". This event consists of food, beer and friends. Really, does it get any better than that? Yeah, not really. It was a sweltering 95 degrees, so along with beer and burgers i thought it was appropriate to make frozen margharitas. I have attmepted this job before and it has turned out all right but this batch was some good ass sh*t. Good enough to make Mary Pat proud. It was great, as night fell the summer thunder rolled in and we had a great light show among the stickinees that was now 90 degrees. Over all, the night went off without a hitch and once it was dark enough where we couldn't see each other anymore or the mutant mosquitos that were eating us alive we called it a night. Did i mention there is a sh*t load of fireflies here in Delaware. We don't have those in the city of ruff-buff and i wish we did cause they are soooooo neat! So that was friday.


Saturday was a sleep in until you ABSOLUTLY have to get out of bed because you are going to wet your pants morning. It was a day full of catch up television, downloading whatever fun music and movies i can get my hands on...oh and taking naps (very important). I decided at about 7ish to get off my butt and go to the grocery store. Here is what was in my refridgerator that led me to this task: Jelly, cheese, and old cantelope. I couldn't even pretend to make a meal out of that, and I'm usually good at improvising. Why the long story about the trip to the grocery store you ask? Well....when i returned home with empty pockets and a soon to be full refridgerator, i noticed something was funny. As I unpacked, i came upon a bag of stuff that i destinctly rememeber NOT purchasing. I checked my receipt and double checked it...sure enough i didn't pay for these items. Here, ensues the moral dilema. As my sister put it..."well it was paid for...just not by you...so it's not stolen food". True, true Lisa. But lets just say the contents of this bag will make me very popular at our next cookout. Popular enough to feed 20 of my closest friends the main part of their meal. After consulting with my moral advisors and considering consequesnces I decided to do nothing. I tucked this food that the Grocery God has granted me away in a safe place, and will use it to feed others at social gatherings. I do not have much remorse over this decision, i will not be greedy and consume it for sole purpose only. I know my mother is getting ready to post a comment on how i should be attending confession right now, but we will see. Maybe this surplus of food was sent to me for a good reason. For example....what if there is a natual disaster and I am trapped in my house with someone who is severely anemic?! And i mean severely! Wanna know what...i might just be able to save this persons' life with the rations that i was given this weekend as a grocery miracle. And lets' say this was not meant to be a grocery miracle but a test of honosty....well i won't be surprised when i return from the grocery store in the future and I have nothing in my bags but carrots and circus peanuts. I will then understand that i failed the test. So that was saturday.


Okey Dokey...Sunday i got to go see the 3rd pirates of the carribbean movie. It was quacktastic. It was a little on the long side but looking back i would not have cut out a thing...it was all necessary and enjoyable storyline and footage. I made sure we went to a matinee so that i could make it home in plenty of time to see the Tony's. Even though i was only familiar with a few of the shows up for awards, it is ALWAYS an entertaining event. There were some incredible performances and well deserved awards presented throughout the evening. Unfortunatly that is not what will be the majority of my sunday post. After the awards the local news immediatly aired. What was the lead story...the LEAD story? It was about a local pizza shop owner who was in the finale of the Sopranos for .76 seconds!!! THAT WAS THE LEAD STORY. They spent a good 10 minutes on this. RIDICULOUS. Wanna know what the second and 3rd stories were? The second story was about a 2 yr old who was in his stroller on a walk with his grama and a car lost control and killed him. The 3rd story....The shooting in Wisconsin that killed 6 people and left a baby injured with a gsw to the chest. Yes prettybird readers...that was the local news. Thank god the late breaking information on the .76 seconds that the local pizza shop owner got on the Sopranos was aired...i was nervous it might be overshadowed by the other non-important things that are going on in the world right now.


Ok done and done...overall a great weekend. I'm really going to miss it here. Where am i going you may ask? Stay tuned...i'll get to that post in a few days. :)

Babies!!!

I love me some babies...i saw this video and fell right over. Granted there is no comparsion to this kind of baby, but it's a close second.



Please pay close attention and turn on your speakers...there is an undeniably adorable "ehn" sound that he produces that is so cute it makes my teeth hurt.


Oh by the way it's a Porcupine.
