The Hubs found this great little back way home from work which isn't as fast as the highway but almost always has better traffic. I love to drive that route every so often because of the great scenery and the occasional railroad crossing.

Since it has either been raining or at 1000% humidity this week , Monkey and I have been spending a lot of time inside. I find myself having pretty great conversations with Monkey, such as what sounds animals make and what it would sound like if they were hanging out together. Monkey is particularly amused by what it would sound like if the turkey had the the duck and the chicken over for lunch. One sound he DOES NOT like is the cow, who knew "mooo" could be such a mournful sound? He gets this look on his face for about 10 seconds before bursting in to tears. He also does it if we sing "O solo mio" to him...mean ol' mommy and daddy...

Okay, I will admit it...I am a facebook junkie. But where else in my life can I have silly and sarcastic bumper stickers, pieces of flair, my favorite tunes, and pictures of my friends all in one place? And for those of us who don't have the opportunity to socialize like we used to, it's a great way to keep in touch with people I would have lost contact with. Of course, part of Facebook is choosing a good profile picture that tells everyone "I'm not currently covered in baby food and wearing my PJ's at 1 in the afternoon, I am sitting here looking fabulous and wearing make up!" So here is my current profile picture as of tonight:

Yes my bangs were glorious and shellacked and huge...as were everyone else's :)!

Every once in a great while in life you find a friend whose sense of humor is so similar to your own wacky, off beat sense of humor that you find everything they say downright hilarious. For me, that would be Erin (aka Aarid, the wind beneath my wings). I didn't realize how many inside jokes we had until her boyfriend said that when we get around each other it's like we talk in clucks and whistles :). For several years now, we've had the nicknames "Phat Girl Slim" (me) and "Busty Flat Chested" (her) in honor of our physical attributes. So imagine my surprise when I was in Sephora the other day and I spotted this:

I'm famous!

Two years ago today I became an Auntie for the first time! I can't believe how fast she has grown and what a cool little kiddo she is. Happy Birthday, Goose!

My new fashion statement, but hopefully not for too long. I found out at the end of my shift Saturday that I have a stress fracture in my left foot, from what I have no idea. I am working on a good story involving saving a squirrel or kicking down a door or something. In the mean time I am gimping along...

Self taken pic of The Hubs...ahh, that man still makes my heart go pitter-pat :)
