On Mother’s Day I got up at 6:00 am with the boy. Claudia got up at 6:30. Later, when the kids were taking their nap, I went out and bought paint and went grocery shopping. But I came home to this: As a mother, I spend a lot of time wondering what kind of job [...]
Randomness Part 35
May 12, 2006
Have you ever gotten your contact stuck up under your eyelid? That crap freaks me out. A month or two ago I had no idea how to even use Bloglines. Now I am hopelessly addicted to it. I subscribe to 117 feeds. (read this as, I subscribe to everyone reading this, plus ESPN). I don’t [...]
You guys are the best!
May 12, 2006
Thank you all so much for being such great people. You guys really came through for me. I set a goal of $100, and we were over that goal in less than a day. I should never have underestimated how much you guys would help out for such a great cause. I’ve raised my goal [...]
Even Dora is in on it.
May 12, 2006
We were watching “Dora the Explorer” (as usual) and today they ran the “Feliz Cumpleanos” episode and “The Wiggles” ran Dorothy’s Birthday Party. I can only assume Noggin knows that it is The Goon Squad’s second birthday today. Let’s Recap: November 2003 May 2004 (photo by Tammy) . May 2005 (photo by Becky) April 2006 [...]
All’s Well That Ends Well
May 11, 2006
I’ve been e-mailing my Aunt Marily a lot in the last couple of days to get all of our stuff together for The National Race for the Cure that is coming up in a couple of weeks. Only a few family members actually read my blog on a regular basis (that I know of anyway) [...]

Alternate titles for this post are: a) Alison said she liked photos from behind. b) Hey Look! My Camera has a Sepia Setting. Feel free to add your own captions. (to see more pictures of The Goon Squad in sepia, and color, and black and white check out my flickr account. I have posted a [...]
On a More Serious Note
May 10, 2006
For those of you that live in the D.C. area, June 3rd is “The National Race for the Cure”. My Aunt Marily is a breast cancer survivor and she was in remission until this year. She is currently undergoing chemo (again) and would love for us to join her. “The Komen Race Series raises significant [...]
Weekend Word Challenge – Week One
May 10, 2006
Odd Mix is running a Weekend Word Challenge and even though I have a delay of game penalty (due to travel and illness) I wanted to play this week. He gives us the words, we show you (in pictures) examples of the words. I only ended up doing two out of three. Here are my [...]
Photographic Proof of My Immaturity
May 10, 2006
I took this picture with my cell phone at a gas station in Georgia on Saturday. I thought it was so funny that I made my Mom come around the car (with the kids, it’s okay they can’t read yet) to see it. Then I immediately sent the picture to Gabe. Who would write something [...]
Grosser Than Gross
May 9, 2006
What is more frustrating than driving 10 hours with two two year olds? Driving 10 hours with two barfing two year olds. Two barfing two year olds with diarrhea? Awesome. As a bonus I am now barfing too. Yet, every cloud has a silver lining. Sick babies can sleep all day (you know, if they [...]
Randomness Part 34
May 7, 2006
As for my only question that has actually been frequently asked (when I saw frequently, in this case I mean more than two times) those of you who have more questions can just e-mail them to satgs@cox.net and I will answer those too. One time Gabe told me that he thought referring to your spouse [...]
Did you see what Rob just did to my kitchen?
May 5, 2006
While you are watching this video (go watch this video) please keep these things in mind: 1) The kids and I are on vacation in Florida. I haven’t been home in over two weeks. 2) All of this footage would appear to have been shot in my house. 3) My husband is 30 years old. [...]
