- New brother in law (sorda...) - Sunday, February 26, 2006 This is me and Rick Razzano, fullback with the TB Bucs. He rode along with Chris the other night and loved him so much that everyone calls him Chris' little brother. Rick played high school football in Ohio, college ball in Mississippi and was drafted by the Bucs as Mike Alstott's backup and ultimately his replacement. He is married to Leah and has a little baby girl. This is truely one of the nicest guys I've met!

- Bad Mom? - Thursday, February 23, 2006 Conversation between me, my 4 year old (Austin) and my 6 year old (Tyler): Austin: Mommy, did you know something bad happened to Abraham Lincoln? Me: No, what happened? Austin: (with the most sincere look of seriousness and huge eyes) He got SHOT! Me: Oh my gosh! How did you know that? Austin: My teacher told me. Tyler: Is he dead? Austin: Mmm hmmm! Tyler: So is George Washington DC! I had to laugh. Out loud. Am I a bad mom for not correcting him?

- Florida Keys - Thursday, February 09, 2006 The countdown is officially on. We leave for our vacation on June 16th, spending a week at a house we rented in the keys. I can't wait! It will be a much deserved vacation. Chris and I went on a cruise last May which was an AWESOME vacation, but it was only for a long weekend. This time we are renting a house with Rob & Melissa, on the grounds of the Cheeca Resort in Islamorada and are preparing to bask in the sunshine. From what we read and hear there is so much to do at the resort for all ages. They have day camps for the boys, including fishing, crabbing, sand castles, swimming and all kinds of exploring. They also have fun nights for the little ones, including Pizza, movies, crafts, etc... The teens and us adults will have spa privelages, free use of the kayaks and bicycles and also included are the tennis facilities, 9 hole par 3 golf course and hot tubs. The two pools sit aside a sandy crystal clear beach. (I feel like I'm promoting a commercial!!! ha ha) As an added bonus there are many watersports marinas in the area and Islamorada is the sport fishing capitol of the world, so not only can they go out on big deep sea excusions, the guys can fish off the dock! If I can make it past the Relay for Life Golf Tournament and Relay walk, Chris' Alsaka trip and my 30th birthday I'll be all set!

Now don't get concerned when you read the "estranged love" blogskin, I just liked the lotus picture. Let me know if it become an annoyance to scroll from left to right--I'm not sure how to adjust the size just yet. Carry on...
