Don't be fooled by the bright sunshine. It was 50 degrees out when I took these this morning. Hence the sweater, scarf, and me hamming it up like I'm freezing (see below). 🙂 It looks like Austin has finally clued in to the fact that it is fall/winter. Which...
Awesome video of the week! The gay men of College Humor have an ultimatum for those opposing gay marriage: Let them get hitched to each other, or they'll start marrying your girlfriends. This was hilarious. Best quote: "You are Death Stars, and we're an army of...

Linking up with Lena for the Tuesday 10. This week's theme: If I won the lottery, the first 10 things I'd buy or do are: 1. Pay off all of my debt (credit cards, car loan, medical bills). 2. Give a big chunk of it to my mom. 4. Stick some in savings (some in...
Right now, I am... trying to get rid of the hiccups I got from the root beer I drank with lunch. plotting ways to spend my evenings, since Ian is working late shift this week. getting ready to go to the post office to mail out a clothing swap and a custom print....
