new music

i have a few new favorite songs:

"you don't know me" by ben folds/regina spektor

(ron and i just heard this tonight, i was just that good, that i picked both of their
voices out, looked it up, and i was right, of course i was!!)

and

"bruises" by chairlift

which has inspired me to put some music on our page.
these are songs of bands ron and i both like and songs that remind me of our time together.

A Natural Born Worldshaker

I just found out Cool Hand Luke died last night.

Sunday Pics

The two of us at Holly's wearing stripes. Claire looks fierce. I look dubious. (Both, as usual.)

These pictures have absolutely nothing to do with Sunday, but it has been a while since a posting and I wanted to rectify that. Heavy work schedules, holidays, illness and a worthless camera have kept us away from some recent things to post.

That should end soon, because I am on my way to purchase a new camera (though some of the other obstacles still remain.)

Extreme Home Makeover: the Diagram

Plenty to do this Fall. (Actually, one of these things is already done. Can you guess which?)

the power of the huckstables...

yesterday, ron and i were in holly's car while she was filling up with gas. holly was talking about the new camry hybrid she might be getting as a company car. i said bill cosby was on tv the other day talking about his electric car and how he's only spent 6 dollars to fill it up. ron said, yeah, he just plugs it into his sweater!

calling all recipes...

i'm sick of hearing "what's for dinner?" every night. i'm sick of not knowing what to fix. ron and i typically have fish and salad or broccoli. we've been trying to plan our meals out for the week, but sometimes the food goes bad before we can use it or we just don't want that meal. i will take any suggestions for vegetarian meal ideas, or any seafood ideas. please post on comment page!! thanks in advance.

2008 olympics

ron and i have been watching the olympics every night. my favorite events, of course, are swimming and gymnastics.
we watchted the men's 4 X 100 freestyle relay. holy cow! i used to swim, so for me, that was exciting! i said this was going to be "the" moment for USA, and that's all i heard today.
my sisters and i were lucky to swim the same event on the high school swim team. there were 4 of us and my dad was so proud of us, and still tells people about it today!! he used to coach, and got a team out of us somehow. he even calls us "team" when we're all back together and are heading out somewhere. "Come on, Team! reservations are in 10 minutes, let's hustle!"
anyway, i didn't think it was going to happen, but somehow from a body length behind, Lezak came from behind. his last 10 strokes were incredible. it was like he was lifting out of the water his feet were kicking so hard. awesome!
the gymnastics are getting better too. people aren't falling on there faces like they used to. i remember the 96 olympics 3 men landed flat on their face and bounced off the ground. everyone is getting better at sticking the landings.
