 I was disgusted by Anya and Mondo's poor sportsmanship on this past Project Runway: Under the Gunn. Their behavior towards Natalie was pathetic. Go Team Nick!

Catch with Smiley

YaYa's First Date!

 Today was YaY's first ever date, a walk to the park and library with Vaughn, her school boyfriend of the last few months. It's quite the milestone, and we're proud to see our little girl continue to mature and grow!

A loving quote from LuLu

Said dear sweet LuLU on our walk yesterday: "Hey Lauren, I just stepped in some dog poop. Come here and eat it off my shoe, it'll improve your breath."

A Facebook Question

 Hmmm. Apparently I inadvertently gave permission for an app to post on my behalf, simply by virtue of watching a video on a friend's wall. Any idea on how to ixnay said app?

Junie's 1st LIbrary Card

 Today I walked with my girls down to the library to clear up their fines and get Junie her first ever library card!

Angulo-Lara

I watched the Angulo-Lara fight tonight, and it was an entertaining and eve boxing match. I also watched Ali-Liston I, and whatever happened in their rematch (*cough*fix*cough) Ali was punishing Sonny from the start in this one, and IMO he quit just to avoid visiting the canvas.

The Minecraft Cake

 The Minecraft cake Lisa made for Smiley's birthday


 Just finished my Civil Procedure midterm. On the way out of the building I ran into the Dean who asked me how I'd done on the exam.

"Eh", I said. "I've had better nights"

"Well, you survived," he replied.
"That remains to be seen," I said. "I'll get the score next week."
"You'll make a great lawyer," he said. "You refuse to commit to any definable position."

Mass and a Grumpy YaYa

 Ash Wednesday Mass with Team Slap


Miss "I don't want my picture taken Dad. UGH, you're the worst Dad ever". AKA





Calm down YaYa. Your parents are your biggest fans. You will not understand for years...but someday you will. - Dale C

You can almost hear here thinking [que "Gone With the Wind" theme music] "as God is my witness, one day I'll put you in a home. - Fred Bryan

Still pretty even when pissed. - Lisa

Creating new starts, doing better. Realizing we're not here forever. Feeling remorseful/repenting... good messages, even if you don't go to mass today. I don't remember going to Ash Wednesday services growing up (mostly ev Lutheran church), but all these years raising Catholic kids has made me appreciate the message of Ash Wednesday. - Lisa

Kinda the Reverse for Me, But . . .

It's Fat Tuesday. Have you had your paczki today?

The Last Voyage

This morning Lisa and I watched "The Last Voyage" a 1960 Robert Stack film about the sinking of a passenger liner.I saw it as a kid on TV and loved it, and after rewatching it 30 years later I can say: I had great taste. 

What makes the film extra special is that the crew *actually* set a defunct passenger liner on fire and flooded it during filming. None of the "special effects" are effects, it's really a ship on its way to the bottom of sea, and that lends a brutal urgency to the cast. Watch it!

I'm Just Saying

I don't begrudge the forays into the Oscars or other routine b.s. - heck, I live for pop culture and gossip - but I would like it very much if you would take just a few minutes today to read up on what's going on in the Ukraine. 

The Russian military has entered that country and looks poised to occupy the Crimea. Putin has openly taunted the European Union when they objected, China is in "agreement" with the action, and the White House is offering up noisy but empty threats in return.

None of this is good, and it's something that deserves more attention than its been getting in the US. Please, pay attention.

 Divergent tickets go on sale tomorrow. *cough* Mom and Dad *cough* - YaYa

My Thoughts

Why waste time being upset that someone you dislike dislikes you too? If the bugger's opinion was worth anything to begin with, you wouldn't dislike him in the first place.
