I recently adopted Moe on behalf of Susan & Mark in honor of their upcoming wedding anniversary. I thought he would be a good addition to the family. Now Jasper’s thinking this might be the perfect sibling for him too. The kind that he can alternately sit on, cuddle with or hump depending on what mood strikes.

I’ve fallen into a bit of a black hole lately.

Distracted by mindless amusements. Consumed by work, friends and trying to squeeze out a bit of sunshine from this season it hasn’t left much time for introspection. Not that I’m all that philosophical around these parts.

And I realize that I have about 7 people that visit the blog regularly. But get ready for some updates, you guys. It’s time I got back on the wagon.

Thanks to Jen and Dirk’s recent trip to Germany a little fun…

An unnamed friend, let’s call her Betsy, recently received the above picture via an online dating site. For some ungodly reason she decided NOT to give this winner a chance. And for this reason, CLEARLY, Betsy will always be alone.

Shameful.

Apparently, Thom and Grant were destined to be great friends. Barbara was kind enough to send along the following evidence.

For the record, I was eating this instead:

Reese and I have the same outfit. Now if only we could have the same boyfriend. [No offense*, babe.]

* Did you know that if you say “No offense to anybody” that it automatically means no one can actually be offended? How wonderful!

I was going to post a picture of birthday cake. But that didn’t seem very Dean. Dean is the king of pie. In fact, I’d like to think that Dean is solely responsible for at least 5 of the extra pounds I carry around on a daily basis.

And I’ll have you know - It. Was. So. Worth. It.

Happy Birthday to an extraordinary person. He can use all our birthday well wishes today!

[Hard to believe that the picture above is their first pie…]
