And Bride Makes 20!

A Duggar Family Wedding Expands Brood to 20

For some reason my friends and I love keeping up with the Duggars. That wacky family in Arkansas who is trying to populate the earth all by themselves. Well for all of those who had their heart set on the oldest Josh I am sorry to say he just got married. He met his wife at a home-school convention and courted her for the last two years. So while she makes the 20 member of the family she will not be the newest for long as Michelle Duggar is expecting her number 18 in January!

This is the cutest kid!

She apparently got kicked off America's Got Talent or something which I haven't watched, but she is adorable.

Talk Like a Pirate

How did I miss Talk Like a Pirate Day? It is one of my favorite days and I totally missed! (I may be exagerating on the whole favorite thing, but I do love it!) I am going home to cry now because this is to much. I also am blaming my friends because I saw a bunch of the on Friday and no one said anything:(

Happy Birthday Waldo

It is Where's Waldo 21st Birthday! Maybe they will do a special book where you find him in bars! The Where's Waldo site has some fun games and you can go search for him and nine million other people or items in the picture. I don't know if things have changed or I didn't do it right as a child, but I do not remember the long list of other things to find. And then you are supposed to find people in a crowd who I have no idea what they look like! I think I need a refresher book.

Oh yeah and you can also add Waldo as a friend on Myspace and some other sites!

Who Wants to Go to Disney World

In 2009 you can get in Disney Land or Disney World for free the day of your birthday! This may actually be another reason sharing birthdays with some of your closest friends is a good thing. So my birthday is April 27 who wants to go to Disney World?

Buried Treasure!

So it's not really like looking for buried treasure, but I think I would be awesome to go see the ship remains revealed by Hurricane Ike. I am not the biggest archaeologist freak in the world, but unburied ships get me all excited!

Trailers and Flooded Cemeteries

While browsing This Old House on-line I came across a video on installing skylights which I checked out because Andy keeps asking me about them. To the side they have similar topics and one of them was question on installing skylights in their mobile home. That's right I am talking about trailers! And it gets better it is not just one trailer it is actually 2 trailers side by side with roof over them! I had to go back and check if they were from the south, but surprisingly they are not. Even more surprising was that TOH answered the questions seriously.

On a sad note their is an article on FOXNews about a flooded cemetery in Texas. They actually have several images which seems to be a rarity after Hurricane Ike.

While I sit here eating cheese fries...

I am entertaining myself looking around the internet. I have been trying to find a copy of Shirley Manson's "Samson and Delilah" from the Season 2 premiere of Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles. After a little searching I found out it will be on the soundtrack coming out in a couple weeks. There is a good blog post by Bear McCreary about pulling this together. Anyway I will just have to get my fix of the song from the show until it comes out. Check out the video below!

John Hughes movies are some of my favorite from when I was growing up. And they can still be relevant today!

Learn to Save Energy with Tinkerbell
Yeah that's right Tinkerbell! I have no idea how these two things are connected which make its even better/weirder. After my 2 second glance at the EERE website it seems they are trying to attract kids. Still doesn't make a lot of sense.

Dancing Lessons Part Dos

Ok I am not sure if the first one is James Brown, but this video is and it is even awesomer! I have a whole new respect for James Brown.

This guy is awesome and I believe some of his awesomeness comes from his pants. So I may need to also invest into some pants like this.

This is by far my favorite of the bunch! Although the rest are pretty awesome also!

Hurricane Gustav

I made it through the storm with just some downed limbs. Besides the limbs the electric was out overnight with sucked and a couple hours the next day. Otherwise made it through it pretty well.


When the electric went out I chilled on the front porch in my rocking chair reading cheesy romance books and watching the crazies out in the storm. The dogs were highly entertained barking at everyone going by.
