holy crap

I logged on to give a travel/hotel update but am now appalled by this story I'm watching on Primetime. I must have been under a rock when their previous media attention occurred. It's just sad. And when you hear the other interviewees, these girls almost look normal. Sometimes I forget such freaks exist... Oh, and the following story--about people who freeze-dry their pets. What am I watching?! ABC "News."

Ditto. I must have missed it, too. Were you under the rock next door to me?

I was under the rock with Katie, I think....didn't know about this until I watched the clip last night. I'm shocked and appalled.

See, shocked and appalled. It's crazy. You should have seen the people freeze-drying their pets, too. They then let their cats, etc. hang around their houses as if they were still alive. A 10 lb pet costs $1000. $150/lb after that... CRA-ZY.

Gee. I get creeped out by those cats they sell at craft shows and stuff with the rabbit fur on them. I don't think I could handle a stuffed Freeway - besides he would cost a small fortune at 15 lbs.

And I knew about the girls. If it's music related, I've probably heard it from radiotim. Not cool.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
