C - Cake or pie? Pie.
D - Day of choice? Tough one. Either Thursday or Saturday.

M - Marriage date? Ummm... defunct.
N - Number of brothers and sisters? 3 sisters, 1 step-brother, and almost 2 awesome brother-in-laws.
O - Oranges or apples? Oranges unless they have a lot of skin on them, apples unless they're squishy.
P - Phobia and fears? I fear people don't like me. Then I realize, who COULDN'T like me? And if they don't, they're stupid.

Y - Your favorite food? Chips and salsa.
Z - Zodiac sign? Sagittarius. What that tells you, I don't know.

Lock Out

My dog locked me out of my apartment. You know that "security deadbolt" a lot of apartments have that only lock/unlock from the inside? She hit it while I was trying to get the other lock opened at 1:30 AM after a cast party. Poor Carol and Bill got to house me for the night, and they had to saw into my door today to get me back in! Crazy Coda hadn't made a mess though! And I missed the CISD Job Fair. My principal says I have the best excuse she's ever heard. =)

The Gondoliers

Tonight and Sunday afternoon, I'll be seen as 'Giulia' in Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta, "The Gondoliers"! Feel free to come on out to Colleyville to be entertained! http://www.regalopera.org/

Zebra

Heidi inspired me to post a photograph of my new shoes that I have been looking for FOR MONTHS! I am pleased to announce that Alyse and Mom were present at that location of, and purchase of my Zebra print heels. I'm in love.

Liam's Turn!

Liam turned 1 year old the day after Connor turned 2! Couple of entertaining photos for you...


By the end of the night the cake was all in his hair, too!


Watch out, Connor! It's the Kissy Monster!


We know. We're hott.

Go Dawgs!

Congrats to the Butler Bulldogs on winning the Horizon Championship! Onto the NCAA! And I totally made my students listen to the Butler Warsong today, while looking at a slide with the picture below gracing my screen. LOVE IT.

Connor's 2nd BDay!

Here are a couple pics from the party yesterday! I thought I'd better post them now rather than later considering Katy was chastising me via iChat yesterday about not updating. You'll see some more pics from Liam's party (tonight!) in the next day or two as well!
Enjoy!



Gran & Connor, loving those party favors!




Connor was all about his cupcake.




Connor tore into those gifts! I think he finally got it this year. These were HIS!

HP Printers

How excited am I that HP Inks come with a prepaid envelope for you to send them the old cartridge for recycling? PREPAID!!! Kudos to them for making me not cringe at my ink usage anymore. At least for the next 30 seconds.
