Seafood

What the hell is up with the water over in Asia? It must have miracle grow in it, or something. Jeesh, all marine life over there is freakin' huge!!


And Drew Lachey might be a shrimp, standing at a mere 5'6", but that boy can dance!

My New Track Jacket

Kurt finished my track jacket! He designed and screen printed the image on it. I love it!

The Screaming Bluedogs

Kurt and I went to the Elbo Room last night to see The Screaming Bluedogs. It was a pretty kick ass show.
"I'm going out in the front yard
Gonna make a railroad out of rain
Gonna take a shot of whiskey
Sit back, and wait for the train"

Gavin is 3

We celebrated Gavin's 3rd birthday this weekend. The birthday party had a baseball theme. The kids ate hot dogs and chips, had their faces painted, did a treasure hunt, and ate cupcakes. Gavin loaded up on Spiderman and Batman toys along with some new books.

Nobody Move Nobody Gets Hurt

Jimmy, Amy, Alex, Kurt and I went to the We Are Scientists concert last night. I took a lot of photos, but realized this morning that I left the cord (which will allow me to download the photos onto my computer) at home. So after work tonight I will get my photos up on this blog. In the meantime, I've copied photos from their website.
It was a kick ass show! We all agreed with Jimmy that the lead singer looks like Adrian Brody. But there was incredible energy and sound through the whole set. And I loved the friendly, funny banter that occurred between songs.
I am super tired today though. I am so tired that I am having a Pepsi for breakfast.

Hot Rod

The other day, this car (which was parked outside Kurt's front door) exploded in the middle of the night. Kurt took photos the next morning of the scorched car. Crazy!

Knock Knock

This weekend, Kurt and I had tickets to Chicago's Sketch Comedy Festival. We saw the troupe from Toronto, "Knock Knock, Who's There? Comedy!"
They had gotten a great review in this week's Chicago Time Out, but we did not find it funny. At all. And I felt really bad because we were in the front row, right in the center, and I couldn't even fake a laugh!
Josh, think Clown Play only less funny.

Tonight we have tickets to the We Are Scientists concert, now that should be awesome! Photos will be up tomorrow!

Kurt's Getting a Haircut

I think he's decided on this look. Hott!!

Rock the Vote

Last night, Kurt and I realized it's just a matter of time before the paparazzi catch on to our relationship. We have observed how the photogs have treated Bennifer (Lopez), TomKat, and Bennifer (Gardner). So we felt it best to be proactive about the unavoidable future.

Therefore, we are offering up a poll. We would like to know what name you think best suites us. Now remember, t-shirts will be made of this, late night talk show hosts will refer to us with this, and this will be plastered all over every glossy magazine currently in print. Here are the options

A. Kuvia

B. Kurvia

C. McCacker

D. Pennycain

We are open to other suggestions, if you have them. Please leave a comment with your vote. Votes will be tallied at the end of the business day.

Thanks!

Spiderman!

Here is a photo of my nephew, Gavin.
Here are some statistics I received from my sister:
The tricycle he got last year (from Uncle Bud) he has never ridden.
The book I gave him, "Where the Sidewalk Ends", he reads all the time.

I win. I am the best Aunt!!

Team Aniston

Jolie annouced that she is pregnant. WTF?!? You can not tell me that these two weren't fooling around while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. I don't buy it for a second! I don't care if she adopts all of Africa, I am totally Team Aniston!!

Pomegranate Tequila

Erin brought back hand-blown shotglasses and pomegranate tequila, from Mexico. Ole!


And then late into the night, we had a contest to see who could listen to the song "Jump" by The Pointer Sisters, and not move a muscle. No dancing, no toe-tapping, no singing. Kurt won. I lost.

Springtime in January

We spent Saturday morning plant shopping. I bought a Lipstick Ivy, a Wandering Jew, and a Rex Bagonia.

R&R at a B&B

Murry and Grey's bed and breakfast has opened for business! It is called "Bayou Amulet" and it's located in Natchitoches, LA (right across the street from the house in "Steel Magnolias"). It looks great guys! I hope you are enjoying Hawaii and I can't wait to see you when you travel through Chicago again.
