One of the funniest songs I think I've heard in quite some time is "Alcohol" by Brad Paisley. Through exposure and the sheer fact that some "country" sounds oddly like palatable light to moderate rock these days, I've started getting into some of it.
In fact, "Alcohol" may be funniest song I've heard since "Celebrity," the song that put Paisley on the map a couple of years back.
Now, the song is in no way an endorsement for inebriation. "I got you in trouble in high school ... ."
The computer version of camping
Thursday morning, I got up to find a message on our desktop computer saying something like "boot disk failure; insert boot disk." I knew it was bad.
An IT guy attends our church. He already had our laptop, repairing it after I hit it with my fist. (real smart)
So we swapped him and we're hoping that he can salvage the important stuff on the hard drive, most particularly our pictures of Jadyn. We have a few on her blog.
In the future, we must find a way to back up the hard drive on a regular basis.
However, please don't take what I'm saying to in any way compare to the losses sustained by the folks who lost everything - some 1,000 or so who even lost their lives - on the Coast.
Meanwhile, the laptop is serving as our connection to the Internet.
Cookie dough
Yeah I need to lose weight for sure, but we bought several batches of cookie dough from a teenage friend of the family who was selling it and I wanted to at least eat some of the stuff we bought raw. Just this once. Hopefully.
Rough night
Any parents out there with suggestions on how to make the transition from a smaller bed or swing to a crib without anyone losing sleep, please pass it along. :)

um. i am going to open my big ol' mouth and tell you that dillon sleeps in his crib, and sleeps 6-8 hours straight at night. :P
we use the Babywise philosophy - it is also called Growing Kids God's Way. it works for us, but is definitely not for everyone!
i like that song too - it is a hoot!
Well, we're trying to approach things from the Baby Wise philosophy, but there may be a few things we're doing differently that may have something to do with it. And Amanda thinks we may have given her her last feeding too early last night.
oh - i am glad to hear that you are trying babywise. it is hard sometimes isn't it?
we don't let dillon cry much but other than that we try to follow the books suggestions. our pediatrician told us that about 2 months is when they start figuring out that night is for sleeping.
then they get their shots and that screws everything up! lol...
