I hate taxes

Ahh - what an attention getter.

Heard on Friday that, in New Jersey, Tax Free Day (the day which you have to work thru from Jan 1) is May 10th.

I'm free, I'm free ........ I am retired from the tax preparation business for the year. Two weeks ahead of schedule. Just in time.

See ya.

First Meal

Will had his first meal of rice cereal today. It went ok, but he was gagging by the 5 or 6th bite. Like father, like son. I also think he is going to follow in his cousin Cole's footsteps and be a puker. Keep your fingers crossed for us that this helps him sleep a bit better at night.

Attn: Jay--Video Bar?

Jason,

Since you created the blog, I think you may be the only one that can do this. Do you have a Template option in the "Manage" part of your dashboard? If you do, would you please add the "Video Bar" option to the blog? There are instructions on the Dashboard. Thanks, Sweetie.

Dancing Bush

Check out this link, you guys. It's pretty funny.

I won't put the monkey sex video link on the blog since we have some at a tender age, but if you haven't seen it and want to, e-mail me...but only if you are over 18! Sorry, Kel, I guess that's all of us old folks but you. And tell me no one watched the Ross the Intern and the Crocodile Hunter video I sent a link for. It is so funny. It is so, so funny. I'll give it to you one more time, and if no one replys about it, then, well, use your imagination!

Hmm, I know there is a use HTML somewhere, but I'll have to find it. For now, you'll just have to copy and paste the links until I figure out how to post a link you can just click and go. Oh, I just read on the dashboard that there is a new way to put youtube videos right onto the blog. I'm gonna try it.

Happy Birthday, Kate

Today is your day to celebrate !

If we were together we would sing.

But since we aren't,We wish you well

and a great year ahead !!

Much love,
Grammy

The Family Jewels!

Couldn't resist this one :)

Idol Post

So, what did everyone think? It was a good show last night. Once again, I think Melinda and Blake were the best. Lakisha and Gina were good too. Chris was awful - his voice is good but he just doesn't have it. Plus, rumor has it he goes to Bob Jones University. Yikkes!

And the hair, need I say more.

Jets to make Turkeys of Cowboys...

So we knew that it would happen at some time in our lives. The J E T S Jets Jets Jets are going to play in Dallas on Thanksgiving.

This means one of 2 things. Thanksgiving at the Abel's (Sorry MGM, that 19 in TV just won't cut it for the Jets/Boys) OR.... Dave, Kenny, and I will be eating Tofurkey with Danny in the parking lot of Texas Stadium. OR (ooh, ooh, this is a good one) Let's all just show up at Danny's like he always does to us! I think Moe would love to throw together dinner for 20 on short notice.....

Party in San Francisco

I notice that Dave and Danny and Moe haven't "had the time" to get on the blog. Hmm...I wonder what they've been doing this weekend that would keep them from hanging out in cyberspace with a bunch of dorks!

So Excited

OK, so you all know my life isn't all that exciting right now. So you have to bear with me through this post.

Something most of you, if not all of you, don't know about me is my weird facination with documentaries. The stranger the better. Drugs, transgendered youths, interventions, ect. Pete once brought home a dvd about a retarded, alcholic, pedophile and said he thought it was "right up my alley." and it was.

So another thing I love is the radio show on NPR called "This American Life." It is basically a themed radio documentary. They tell two or three stories that follow a theme. It is great. Peter and I usually download a couple to our ipod for long car rides.

So the exciting news is, Showtime has made "This American Life" into a tv show and we got Showtime today!!!! Yay!!!!

I can't wait to watch it, I will let you know how it is.

BTW - this post shows how stupid a post may be, don't worry about excitement or creative writing...just share.

I know this post also completely earns me the label ...BIG FAT DORK.

Friday is PIZZA NIGHT!

After a long week, Cole, Jess and I just love to celebrate the coming of the weekend with a DELICIOUS, HOT, CHEESY, GOOEY PIZZA. Man, I don't know what I would do with out it..... Who knows what warped stuff I would be forced to do if I couldn't get my fill of WONDERFUL JERSEY PIZZA....

Debbie and Mom in Disney World

OK I'm trying to post a picture and there is only an image to check.

Finally!!

Debbie got taller and thinner than me.

Ode to Bigga Rigga

The best birthday gift I ever got, my big, black, best friend. He's been my friend when I had few, my protector when I was scared, and my first born son. We spent hours every day at the dog park, playing ball and swimming.

When I brought Nate home I was worried. He thought he was a big chewy toy, but he soon got used to him. From the beginning he could always get a smile, even during the worst fits. He soon learned how to clean up spit up and when Nate graduated to cheerios he was thrilled. If Nate is eating, Theo is right under him - eyes locked on the floor, ready to clean up anything that hit the floor. Nate looks for him in the morning before he looks for me. Nate loves to run around with treats and fall on top of them so Theo can dig them out with his nose and tickle him with his whiskers. Soon Nate will be able to play ball with Theo and I will lose my best friend.

Simple Lesson in Picture Posting

All you have to do to add a picture is hit "New Post" and then hit the little picture icon on the top bar. This will take you to a window that allows you to choose one from your own computer or one from the internet. Hit "Choose File" and it will take you to your own computer where you can find the picture in your files (or enter the URL for your internet photo). Make sure it is a jpg, .gif, .bmp or .png image, 8 MB maximum size. Click on the picture file, hit "Choose", pick a layout and a size (I've been using medium) and hit "Upload Image". Wait while the image uploads. The window will let you know when that has been done successfully. Hit "Done" to go back to your post and you will see the image represented as code. You can hit "Preview" to see how it will look in the message. Hit "Hide Preview" to get back to the post for editing or if you want to write more. If you want to move the picture around, just copy and paste the code where you would like it to go, and hit "Publish". The picture below is "small" and "center", just so you can see the size differences.

I find it really easy to put the pictures I want to use on my desktop. That makes them easy to find after you hit "Choose File" so you can find them on your computer.

American Idol

Did anyone watch last night?
It's time for Sanjaya to go home. Though, after seeing that little crazy girl crying for him, I think he'll be around for a while. There are probably thousands more like her voting for him.

Most of the girls were great - which as Mom has said, totally rock over the boys. Though we do like Blake.

MGM Rules!

Oh, and MGM beats almost everyone else to the punch, just as I predicted.

Do I know my mutha, or do I know my mutha?

I'm jamming to bed but will blog it up tomorrow.

Just checking in.

Having Fun With Yankee Fans

Look out!!! He's gonna blow.....

This is what I feel like at work these days... If one more client asks me to add another lipstick shade to site IMMEDIATELY, my head will explode.

I shall be first

I guess I will start because I started this "Crazy Idea". I feel a bit more pressure for it to be interesting because of the whole blog thing, but that is really hard with my life right now. I am not complaining, but it is not much more than diapers and trying to get a kid to sleep.

Pete is also excited for baseball season to start. He actually will be at opening day at Shea. I am dreading the season. With the invention of the dvr, baseball season has become very long. Pete watched 99% of the games last year and his mood depended on the outcome. Uggg.

Maybe we should start an out of town Pizza delivery service - delivering Jersey pizza to transplants.

Test, Sorry.

Testing to see where this shows up. I am having some technical difficulties.

Ask and Ye Shall Recieve

So, every one screamed about a blog. So I went out and created one. I am still figuring out how to use it, and need to configure it so any one can post. But your crazy idea, Heather, is now online......
