As a blogger, I'm feeling quite refreshed. I'm definitely going to try and keep this place somewhat interesting. It seems like I go through boring times once in a while, but I somehow always get out of them using my creativity. Ok, maybe directing you to things that other bloggers are posting isn't the most creative thing to do, but I figure I'll make up for it by providing a little bit of commentary. Here's what's going on right now:
- Congratulations to Sarcastic Journalist, who gave birth to a healthy 8 pound, 6 ounce boy on Tuesday! You know, I've been reading SJ even before she had any kids. I was reading her back when she was still a journalist! Now look at her, two kids later. It's amazing how things change in just two years. As an uncle who has seen what it's like having not one but two toddlers around, I have to say: good luck SJ, you're gonna need it!
- What do you get when you mix cross-country skiing, wet pants, toothpicks and Diet Coke? A really bad date, according to Karen! The thing that amazes me about Karen is that she has the ability to laugh at herself, and she's allowed us to laugh right along with her. I must say, I haven't seen a story this funny in a long while! Karen continued the humility today by posting some of her more embarassing moments. It happens to us all, Karen!
- In 8th grade, I puked all over one of my classmates! I was sitting in class, and hadn't really been feeling too good. That not too good feeling got really bad really fast, unfortunately. We were sitting in little sections of five, with four of the desks set up facing each other. The guy facing me asked if I was feeling OK, and right then my stomach decided to unload. I puked right on his desk! I went home right after that, of course, and no one in that class let me live it down for the rest of the year. That was easily one of the most embarassing things I've ever done.
- I am a complete klutz sometimes! In the summer after high school, I was walking around the University of Oregon one day. I was walking along the sidewalk and I totally tripped over a crack! When I trip, I almost always land right on my knees, no matter how much I try not to. I scraped myself up really bad that time! I was definitely bleeding, and went home right away. I probably should have gone to the hospital or something and got taken care of, but I was too embarassed to do so. I was wearing shorts too! I rode home on the bus and tried my best not to be noticeable. For at least a week or two after that, it was really hard for me to walk because I had scraped my knee so badly.
- When we were in Hawaii on vacation in 1998, I was swimming around in the ocean with my siblings when I got slammed by a wave and hit face first into the sand! I wasn't really that far out, but I still got slammed pretty hard. I ended up with a bloody nose. That was not very fun!
- Our dog Chloe is a VERY messy dog when she takes a drink of water. She slobbers it all over the tile floor near her dish when she's done. Several times I've slipped in her mess because I didn't see it! I haven't hurt myself yet, because I've been able to catch myself each time. It still sucks though, because it takes you by surprise! I wish she wouldn't slobber so much, because I hate slipping on the floor!
Sorry about all the bullets. That is best for how I've been organizing my thoughts today.

the most embarrasing thing I can remember is when my husband and I were dancing on the dancefloor down in Mexico and my husband dipped me and DROPPED ME! I was so pissed! He was so drunk on tequila he had no control over himself. lol god, I could have killed him!
