I heart shoes

Someone, please remind me to have my photographer take tons of pictures of my wedding shoes.

Then I can get them framed and hang it up on my side of the closet and laugh at FH when he asks me why I have so many shoes.

A new last name

I love my current signature. I don't write in cursive at all, except for my signature. I worked for years to perfect it. It's swooshy and kind of awesome looking, if I do say so myself.



See? I love making those L's.

Problem: I am an L no longer. My new almost-last name begins with S. I am bad at making cursive S's. Like, super bad.


Look at that pathetic cursive S in the lower right hand corner. Sad, I tell you. I like to blame my lack of cursive skills on skipping second grade, since that is the time that everyone else I know learned cursive. But I'm probably just lazy.

So I practiced:


I know, am I fifth grade or something? I made FH sign too, to see how he does his S's. I even practiced signing my new signature at stores over the weekend (no one seemed to notice or care that I was signing a different last name that what was on the credit card) and it just doesn't feel natural yet. But if you think about it, I've been writing the same combination of first and last names for roughly 25 years. That's one heck of a habit to break.

Tiny Geniuses

Faith: There aren't 24 hours in a day.

Me: Really?

Faith: Yeah. There are, like, thousands.

Me: Really? How do you know?

Faith: Because when you are waiting for something or when I get bored, the clock goes really slow. Like - tick [dramatic pause] tock. tick. tock. And its so slow and thats why there are thousands!

Me: Wow. Genius.

20 Questions ... upon seeing "Vantage Point" *

1. Gwyneth, are the Coldplay residuals not coming in like they used to? You deserve SO much better than "Ironman".

2. Rex, what is your deal with Angie?

3. Sigourney Weaver, does it physically hurt you to recite dialogue this bad?

4. Are they seriously going to show the same thing over and over with only minute differences in POV?

5. When did Dennis Quaid start taking all of Harrison Ford's roles?

6. What exactly does Dennis do to maintain those abs?

7. Wait - is Dennis actually the poor man's Harrison Ford?

8. Was this originally slated to debut on the Lifetime network?

9. Or as a stand-alone episode of "Days of our Lives"?

10. Do they really use doubles for the president? This could explain so much of the past eight years.

11. Love him, but what is with Forest Whitaker's left eye?

12. Why, Foxy, why? I know it must be frustrating to work on a show with no discernible forward-moving plot line, but you can do better things than this with your summers off.

13. Did they just do a close-up of a menacingly squinting Dennis?

14. With dramatic music swelling in the background?

15. Was that line of Spanish dialogue that just came out of Matthew Fox's mouth dubbed by a jovial Telemundo news anchor?

16. Did I just burst out laughing in the middle of this very serious movie? Yes, yes I did...

17. Did I just hear the majority of the theatre burst out in laughter as well? So it isn't just me...

18. What are the odds that the two bad guys would get killed in that crash, yet the president would survive?

19. Will I enjoy this movie more in five years when it is played in continuous rotation every third weekend on TNT and I have nothing better to watch while I clean house?

20. Seriously, wouldn't it have been marginally better with Harrison Ford?

* If you haven't, don't.

Makes Me Laugh

Kermit? Speaking German? Love it. I have no idea what he is saying but it makes me so happy!
