You guys, these things are the cutest baby shower gifts EVER. Not to mention original. I bought one for my girlfriend, see it here (patty jr.). Now I want about 50 for myself!!

Tonight PBS's American Experience had a special on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. entitled Citizen King. It was really amazing. There was a ton of footage, much of it I hadn't seen before, and interviews with all the people who surrounded him at that time from the SCLC. One stunning piece of footage sounded so incredibly eerie in relation to current events and I wanted ...

I'm not sure why, but lately I've been having trouble not crying at stupid things. Like dumb commercials and (please don't kill me) a REBA MCENTIRE VIDEO ON CMT. Can you believe it??? It is very unusual for me to associate with anything remotely country (save my Nashville accent) - let alone CRY about it. There must be some kind of hormonal imbalance going on. ...

I know, I know - you're frowning like I'm a dignified couch potato, and you're probably right. I haven't come very far from college where my roommate marveled ...

I watched TV. In addition, when I walked outside I realized we had carpooled. Josh was just getting in the shower.

Today I had to fly in a teeny tiny little plane to Ft. Smith, AR - a total travel time by air of about an hour, one way. Driving takes 3 hours. There were 4 seats in a small cabin, 2 facing front and 2 facing back, a seat for the pilot and one more for other passenger up front. I meant to take some ...

Last night a hose on my sweetheart's* radiator blew while he was driving in North Little Rock. All the coolant immediately flew out, and the car started overheating. He stopped once, let it cool down and filled it with fluid from Lowe's. Left there and it again flew out - but continued driving while the needle held fast to "H" and even PAST the red!! ...
