flashback Friday
I was just thinking back to that one time Kris beat me at Scrabble. Ah, memories. Too bad it HASN’T HAPPENED SINCE. Oh yeah, we have a rivalry going. A nerd rivalry. (Current game – 272 to 192, only 2 tiles left… mwahaha.)

(GO, by the way…)

Dexter
To fill the void while LOST isn’t on, Kris and I have been watching each and every episode of “Dexter”. We are addicted – sometimes watching 3 or 4 episodes a night. It’s sooo good. We’re almost done with Season 2 and can’t wait for Season 3 to be released on DVD in August. I’ve always been fascinated with forensics, and dang if Michael C. Hall doesn’t make one charming serial killer.

Wednesday night – LOST night… even while on hiatus
I simply had to do another update on a poll I did a while back. Y’all can’t believe how many views it got. Almost 4000! Bit of advice – if you want people to look at your blog? Simply do a post with the words “LOST”, “Saywyer”, “Jack”, etc., basically anything LOST related. Anyway, I kept noticing that most of these views were coming in from a link to one site in particular. I went to the site and it’s a mom in Hungary! So funny. The online translator isn’t very good, so I’m not real sure what she’s saying in the post – but it seems she disagrees with the previous results. The last time I checked the poll it said the winner was Sayid (the poll asked who your favorite LOST boy was). I have to say I agree with Miss Hungary – Sayid? Seriously?!?! Anyway, I checked the results again tonight, and all is right with the world. The results as of today proclaim Sawyer the winner. Yay!

So there you go. Approximately 160 votes – the public has spoken! And now we only have about 195 days to wait for next season… sigh.
*by the way, there were a few write in votes for “other”. They were Charlie, Juancita, dd, and Faraday. (Juancita? dd?!?!) hehehe.
**EDIT – wait a flip, I think she met Matthew Fox! (lucky!) Sawyer might be my favorite, but I wouldn’t pass up the chance to stand beside Jack, that’s for sure…

something I wish I’d believed sooner ~
If I had to give one piece of advice to our good friends who are becoming first time parents (today!), it would be this…

Truer words have never been spoken. We second guess and doubt ourselves too often as parents. You know your child better than anyone, and no book or tv show can tell you what to do better than you can tell yourself. Follow your instincts, they’ll never steer you wrong.
*Happy Birthday lil’ Kris! Can’t wait to meet you tonight.

These pics are from this past winter when we went snow tubing – it was so windy we were nearly blown off the side of the mountain. It was FREEZING.
So basically, the complete OPPOSITE of how it feels here today.

summer bummer
Poor Coop “thought” he heard the ice cream man the other day, so he sat outside on the back porch for close to an hour – waiting. When he finally gave up and came inside, I saw that he had written this on the patio…

no ice cream man today (again!)
