Happy Birthday John Cleese

I saw him live, and from where I was sitting I could see him getting ready backstage, so as far as I'm concerned we're like best friends...

I Might Watch Too Much TV

I am very excited, I have been offered a new job (in addition to my current jobs) at work. I am now going to be the Assistant Respite Camp Coordinator!

Karen (my boss): Assistant TO the Respite Camp Coordinator.

My Muppets

I am having the single greatest experience of my life. I am listening to a DVD commentary for one of the Scrubs episodes from Season 8. Bill Lawrence stopped talking about Scrubs and has spent about the last 10 minutes just talking about the Muppets.

I'm going to miss Scrubs.





and an old classic:

America the Beautiful

Here we are! The long awaited* pictures from my family's road trip to Virginia:

On the first night of our drive we ate dinner at the Olive Garden. Scott and I insisted because we hadn't eaten at the Olive Garden in like forever. It's like dining in the backyard of a delightful Italian stereotype.




My other exciting nerd-core moment on the way down was a stop in Pennsylvania to Breezewood to rescue my newest gnome. Meet Syd-gnome Crosby!



Also pictured: the Appalachian Mountains.




Whilst driving along the Blue Ridge Mountains we saw several deer. I would also show the video of the bear we saw, but unfortunately most of the video is disrupted by my brother and I making fun of our Mother for shouting "It's a bear! A bear!" as she JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR!








We were heading down for my Grandfather's 90th Birthday. And no don't get too excited- that doesn't mean I have good genes.





Here my cousin Doug plants one on my Grandma:



And finally my parents:




And on that note: Happy Birthday Mom!!
