Angie and Bunny

A taste of freedom makes you want more. This year I want to do it all, and if it scares me I'll jump right in because that's true liberty.

Here are all the wonderful people I live with. My only hope is that no one else gets stolen from us.

Thanks to Gabe (aka Eunuch) and Michelle, I found a pair of $70 Pearl Izumi Push running shoes for $14 on eBay. Jer ordered them for me on his account, but apparently they sat in the garage for a few days before I got them. But all is well that ends well, and yesterday I got to break them in and I just got back from my second run with these babies. It's amazing what good shoes can do. I don't just run anymore, I fly! Watch me. ;)

Merry Christmas everyone! We love you!

My baby is home after four days with his dad. I missed him so much! I talked with him tonight about what he did with daddy and I got all misty eyed. Unless you're a parent it's probably hard to understand why I got emotional. I missed 4 days of this amazing little boy, and that's a long time in a (just turned) 4 year old's life. I'm glad he's home.

Here are a couple shots taken on Lake Leman (also known as Lake Geneva) in Switzerland, during an ice storm in January 2005. And I thought today was cold.

That was one swell Christmas Party!

Steph sent this to me and I laughed so hard because it's too true. Not that I've ever been guilty of any of these.... ;)

WHEN GIRLS DRINK TOO MUCH

1. I have absolutely no idea where my purse is.
2. I believe that dancing with my arms overhead and wiggling my butt while yelling "WOO-HOO!" is truly the sexist dance move around.
3. I've suddenly decided I want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe I can do it too.
4. In my last trip to pee, I realize I now look more like a homeless hooker than the goddess I was just four hours ago.
5. I drop my 3:00 A.M. submarine sandwich on the floor (which I'm eating even though I'm not the least bit hungry), pick it up and carry on eating it.
6. I start crying and telling everyone I see that I love them soooooo much.
7. I get extremely excited and jump up and down every time a new song plays because "OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!"
8. I've found a deeper/spiritual side to the geek sitting next to me.
9. The man I'm flirting with used to be my 5th grade teacher.
10. The urge to take off articles of clothing, stand on a table and sing or dance becomes strangely overwhelming.
11. My eyes don't seem to want to stay open on their own so I keep them half closed and think it looks exotically sexy.
12. I've suddenly taken up smoking and become really good at it.
13. I yell at the bartender, who (I think) cheated me by giving me lemonade, but that's because I can no longer taste the gin.
14. I think I'm in bed, but my pillow feels strangely like the kitchen floor.
15. I start every conversation with a booming, "don't take this the wrong way but...."
16. I fail to notice that the toilet lid's down when I sit on it.
17. My hugs begin to resemble wrestling take-down moves.
18. I'm tired so I just sit on the floor (wherever I happen to be standing) and take a quick nap.
19. I begin leaving buttons open on my button fly pants to cut down on the time I'm in the bathroom away from my drink.
20. I take my shoes off because I believe it's their fault that I'm having problems walking straight.
