Ian can work the VCR.
I don’t know how. I never taught him how to do it. We have mostly DVDs, but I have some old Animaiacs VHS tapes that the boy loves. I guess those Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister, Dot) were motivation enough.
You know, I’m not even sure my Dad can work the VCR, and that guy has almost sixty years on Ian. Granted, he’s only had about 23 or so years to practice with his VCR, but you’d think that the ability to read and two masters degrees would give him the edge over the boy. Nope. Ian got it first.
Maybe I can get him to teach me how to install the new version of Firefox.

What kind of American throws a baby shower on Super Bowl Sunday?
(No offense, Allison, but Super Bowl Sunday???)
Do you think there will be beer and chicken wings?
Don’t get me wrong – I’m going to the shower. It is at 1:00 and the game doesn’t start until 6:00. Do you think it would be rude to wear a jersey and facepaint?

It is Elizabeth’s 40th birthday today. She is trying to get 40 comments for her fortieth. Go tell her happy birthday. 
Sunday School Jamz? Are you kidding me? (I wrote more about this here.)
It’s cold.
I bought Pillsbury’s Garlic Butter Crescent Rolls the other day. They sound good, but they were pretty gross. Too much fake garlic flavoring.
Currently reading: “Running With Scissors” by Augusten Burroughs
. Why didn’t you guys tell me this book was going to suck me in? I’m having trouble putting it down.

Dear Publix,
I hate all the grocery stores in Northern Virginia. I’m serious. The Safeway near my house is overpriced and the lines are always long. Both of the Giants that are close both suck and really aren’t that clean. The Wegmans is too far away for everyday shopping and the workers are very grumpy.
My Trader Joes is really small. Sure they have good cheese, but I end up having to go there and somewhere else just to get enough food to prepare an entire meal. The Shoppers Food Warehouse is full of assclowns, they only have two of the carts that I can fit both kids in and there is only one check out line that the big carts will fit through. I have to use lane seven even if the mean cashier is there.
MacGruders is a joke, it is like shopping at a 7-11 with produce, the close Harris Teeter closed down and the other shoppers at Whole Foods smell bad, plus the parking lot is impossible to get out of.
I know, you can’t believe I am complaining when I have this many grocery stores to choose from, but dear Publix, I miss your bakery. I miss your deli. You were always clean and you had the best fried chicken.
Why are you only in the South?
This is not an advertisement. Publix probably doesn’t even remember me.
But I remember you, Publix. I miss you. Please come to Virginia.
Call me.
Love,
Sarah

For those of you playing along at home Shaq Attack was born healthy and seemingly happy two days ago. You can see her stats here. I went and visited her today. Sadly, I have no pictures because Claudia has some sort of aversion to me paying attention to other people’s children. Apparently she really hates it when I hold babies.
In tandem with her birth, we have the winners of the Virtual Joke Shower Contest. You can see the results over here. The winning joke made the anesthesiologist laugh out loud.
Good times.
