"Fine, thanks! And how are you?"

I know that when people say "How are you?" they are expecting you to say "Fine, thanks!" as a matter of conversational reciprocity. But I am feeling like I am about to spontaneously combust! The demands of my job are greater than ever before, and I am being sent in every frickin' direction before be told to set off in yet another direction!

AAAGGGHHH!

Happy Valentine's Day!

In honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to post the poem that was read at our wedding:

His hello was the end of her endings

Her laugh was their first step down the aisle

His hand would be hers to hold forever

His forever was as simple as her smile

He said she was what was missing

She said instantly she knew

She was a question to be answered

And his answer was "I do"

Happy V-Day, Dr. J! Looking forward to makin' & bakin' some naughty Lust Cookies with you after work tonight ;o)

Somebody Has a Birthday Today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!

I wanted to wish the happiest of birthdays to a guy who has grown on me over the years . . . Steve! If back in high school someone would have tried to tell me that someday I'd be inviting Steve to my wedding I wouldn't have believed it (but I did and he came). It turns out that Steve is a pretty cool guy, with a lot of interesting thoughts going on in that brain of his.

I still laugh my ass off when I recall Dr. J & Steve double-teaming The Hamster at her wedding during The Money Dance!!!

Who knew that dark-eyed xylophone-turned-tuba-player would become a friend?!?!

Good-Looking and One Heck of a Player!

HINES WARD IS WORTH EVERY PENNY THE ROONEYS ARE PAYING HIM!

Pittsburgh's Homeless are Steeler Fans, too!

No one has ever accused me of being "P.C." so I have no problem sharing the following . . .

I take the bus to work most mornings. And when I do, I usually walk the 3 blocks from where the bus lets me off in downtown Pittsburgh to my building with a lady on my bus named Lorraine. Well, as we were walking on Friday morning, sporting our Steeler buttons (I had on my "Immaculate Tackle" button!) and gold beads hanging around our necks, Lorraine motioned to this one homeless guy we usually pass each morning. He was sleeping on the sidewalk, and had on all black, with a bright gold jacket. Lorraine nudged me and said "Even our Homeless are Steeler Fans!"

TOTALLY CRACKED ME UP!
