Now I’m Thinking Roundhouse Kick to The Spleen

September 21st, 2007 · 14 Comments

Okay, so I wasn’t going to weigh in on the whole Bill Maher thing* because about a zillion people have done it already…and better than I could ever do. But…..

Don’t see it? Take a closer look….

What’s Next? Locusts?

Well, I am so happy to be seeing Tuesday morning. With all the weird happenings this weekend, I was sure it was the end of the world. For starters, The Husband and I had almost 24 hours kid-free. That is definitely a rare occurrence. We went out to dinner and enjoyed real cherry coke…not […]
