OK. I was sitting here having chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk when your post came up on my google reader… and I almost spewed milk out of my nose.
You and Tony are in a group of 4 because we frequently have to clean the pee off the heads of our dogs. Or watch them try to remove long grass which hangs from their balloon knots (I say “watch” but there has been an incident which involved removal and a needle nose pliers). Or yell at Booker for violating The Chew. I could go on…

This is kind of sinister, really. Like you said, they’re probably just on vacation, but my mind of course immediately goes to “there are people being held captive in the basement/the house is a meth lab/baaaaaad things are happening there.”
I don’t know why, but this story reminds me of the time I heard three loud bangs and made a call to my local police department. I felt like a real tool, but I was like, “It may have been gunshots. I don’t know.” I didn’t want to not call the police and have someone be dead like Kitty Genovese. Thankfully, nothing happened, but the cops did come zooming down the street moments later. It’s comforting to have good cops.
I know, right? Simon Cowell’s response made me go a little soft in the niblets, too. My friend Amy asked if I thought the Claymates would be disappointed, if they were that deluded, and I was like, “Well, if my friend Danielle is any indication, this is like gay Christmas” (Ghristmas? I don’t know.)

I don’t think I can say it enough. I love Ikea. With the exception of about three things, our entire house is has been furnished by the good company of Sweden. Some of my favorite new purchases include this lamp and these chairs. In red, of course.
I bought this book: Beginning CSS Web Development: From Novice to Professional by Simon Collison with a gift card over the summer. It’s fantastic! I am a complete novice with this sort of thing, but I’m learning quickly thanks to this book. Thanks to Collison, I’ll never forget to top center my background image again.
If you like playing with color and color palettes, you’ll love this site - Colour Lovers. I’m playing with a blog redesign right now and it’s the perfect place to create a palette. Fun!
I’ve been in Western New York for the last ten days visiting family and putting together a 25-year reunion for our elementary school class. Yes, elementary school. My friend Sheri and I gathered up as many people as we could from kindergarten through eighth grade for a weekend of fun and nostalgia. I’m sure I’ll be writing more about the whole experience soon but right now I’m going to decompress after the long drive back home.
For now I’ll say that I really did have the most wonderful childhood. The small private school we all attended had one class for each grade, so the majority of kids we went to school with were our classmates and friends for eight of the most important years of our lives. The passage of time has not weakened the bond between us. In fact, I think it reminded many of us of the unique and unusual experience we all shared. I’m so glad to have these people back in my life.
That’s cool! Reminds me of the Grade Six Chix reunion I went to last year!

can I get a “flowing out of you and meeeee” :)
Glad you had a great time. Since almost all of the kids I went to grade school with also went on to the same Catholic High School, we see each other at the high school reunions.

And the next line, one of my faves from Catholic school, “Flowing out into the va-alley, setting all the captives free!”
I just looked it up, and it says “desert,” not “valley,” but I think it’s more likely that a prison would be in a valley. In Bible times, I mean.

Yeah, and can I add that not only did we have to learn that song, we had to learn it in sign language.
There had to be a valley in that song somewhere, Sandy. The bible is full of freaking valleys, after all.
We used to go bananas over Amen, Alleluia. I can’t tell you how many times I whipped out my lighter in the chapel to rock out on that tune.
