Angie and Bunny

I found these water bottles at World Discoveries and just had to get them for the kids. Kyle and Ashley were thrilled.

Notice Kyle clutching his scary eel and Ashley her pretty pony. I can't wait till Jenna has her little boy and she's introduced to the world of slimy, creepy and weird stuff.

Watch the video and find out just how depressing winning $270 million can be. I don't care how sleep deprived or shell shocked I am, if I won $270 million dollars I'd be wearing a permanent, face-splitting smile, if I wasn't giggling non-stop.

It must be the water in Portal, GA.

I'm hard to impress when it comes to movies, but I really liked Across the Universe. It was very different, visually stimulating and left me with that great just-got-off-a-rollercoaster-wanna-ride-again feeling.

It's a musical love story set in the 60's and the soundtrack is all Beatles songs with cameos from Bono, Joe Cocker and Eddie Izzard. I felt nostalgic even though I never saw any part of the 60's. I think you'll like it.

I just got ahold of some pics of my brother Vin's baby girl, Cleo, and I just had to post them. Have you ever seen a more beautiful baby? I just want to squeeze her in all her pink cuteness.

I'm not tucking you into bed tonight, but He is
I can't kiss away your tears but He will
I can't soothe the hurt you feel but He does
I can't wrap my arms around you, but He can.

Please understand you never leave my thoughts
And I miss you like you'll never know
This pain inside cuts deep into my heart
And prayers for you flow out of the wound.

He's making us strong, so He's sent the wind and rain
But it's hard to see you shaken, you're so young and tender
I want to shelter you and hide you from the storm
I have to trust He loves you more than I ever could.

You try hard to be brave, though you cry when it gets tough
Don't worry baby, it's ok to sometimes fall
Grown-ups do all the time. Even mommy cried today.
Just don't stay there, you're so beautiful when you smile.

We'll get through this I promise, and we'll be better for it
I know there's a brilliant day just around the corner
Until then, remember I love you wherever we are
And you can always, always call me mama.

Never underestimate the power of makeup. And good hair.

Now if they would just smile...

Every since we've been here, right across from our apartment there has sat this old, black cadillac that looked like it had been sitting there 20 years, and we had no idea who it belonged to.

The other day there were 2 black men looking under the hood and cleaning it up. The young guy with his fro and Nike duds, and the older guy with his loafers, cap and much bling.

Maybe the young guy was dissing the car because I walked outside and overheard the older man say, [insert ebonic speak] "back in the day, dis was the ride! You drive a cadallic and you laid! You LAID!"

Ahhhh! It made my day.
