He Knows What He Wants....


Daxon got some new glasses, and these were the only pair he would try on or even consider. You want to know why? Because now he looks "just like Daddy"!


Some Serious Handsomness.....

My Olympic Torch Has Yet to be Extiguished!

I love the Olympics! And for the rest of you, the Vancouver Olympics ended Sunday, but not for me! Which fills me with a need to list (and you know how I love lists) the top reasons why it is better to record all segments of the Olympics. They are:

  1. Watch them at your leisure (0bviously!)
  2. Find the parts that the kids will like and teach them to chant "U-S-A"!
  3. Fast forward through most of the Ice Dancing (boring!) and the very-flaming male figure skaters
  4. Fast forward through the scary manly-woman who hosts the late night segments!
  5. Fast forward through the biathalon (really, how does one find out that they have an aptitude for skiing and then quickly shooting something?!)
  6. Fast forward through all of the cross-country skiing except the end when they medal! (Fast Forwarding seems to be a trend here...)
  7. When you really need to catch up on the events, you can fast forward through the human interest stories, and the interviewers who ask the olympians the always-appropriate question: "You just wrecked on the downhill and smashed your chances for a medal, how do you feel?"
  8. Rewind and re-watch the bobsled crashes, and speed skating wrecks! (Hubband and I love us some Olympic carnage!)
  9. Pause it when the kiddies need something (again), or to wipe your eyes from the discreet tears your're shedding because an athlete who has worked so hard has either won, or wrecked...(I know, I am crying again. Shocker.)
  10. Fast Forward (the fastest it will go-with my TV its a "4") the Hockey games except for the last few seconds to find out who won.
  11. Fast Forward (back to the trend again) through the same five commercials that are played at every break!

and possibly the most important reason to record the Olympics:

12. My Olympics lasted longer than your Olympics!!

(I should be done tonight, and it saddens me they will be over!)

And one more Olympic thought: Someone needs to train the Athletes from the Grand 'ole U.S.ofA. to PUT THEIR HANDS OVER THEIR HEARTS DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!!! (Thank You Lindsey Vonn and the Men's Bobsled team who did do this!)
