A Very Important Question

I need to thank The Bloggess* for reminding me of what I wanted to blog about today. I need to ask you all a Very Important Question: How many pine cones would you eat in an hour if you were paid $50 per pine cone? Because I tested this question out at a party this weekend, I can anticipate some of your questions... 1. You CAN'T use any appliances such as a food processor. 2. You CAN use heat and water to prepare your pine cone meal if you wish. 3. You CAN use condiments to make your pine cones more palatable. 4. The pine cones are average sized and slightly open. And if any of you wiseguys try to pull a Jessica and tell me you can eat 50 of those sonuvabitches, I want you to find a pine cone and just TRY to take a bite of that conifer goodness. You can't do it. *See #7 on her post "25 things about twitter that are pissing me off"

ONE DAY!

I walk the March of Babies tomorrow and I'm still $120 away from my goal. Can you please help nudge me up to $500?

Andrew has a Flavor: Episode 2

While discussing whether it's necessary to require our groomsmen to rent shoes with their tuxedos:

Andrew: Nobody will be looking at our feet as long as you're in the room.

Everybody, say it with me, "Awwwwwwwwwwwww."

Name Game

We are meeting with a woman from a Pittsburgh greyhound adoption group on Sunday for our interview. We are pretty certain we will be deemed "fit parents," so we've started to brainstorm for names.

So far we've considered:
Tut (Andrew shut it down--something to do with the Batman TV show from the 60s.)
Gideon (I shut it down, because... well... Because.)
Atticus (Still a contender.)
Gordon Ramsey (Still a contender IF the dog has a wrinkly forehead and penchant for cussing.)

After going back and forth for ten minutes with name suggestions, I suggested we pay homage to my childhood pets by naming our hound either Milk, Gum, or Hat--in honor of my first school of goldfish. Talk about a creative toddler!

Hey now

Andrew and I started assembling our wedding registries this week. So far, it is hella fun.

One thing we won't be registering for?



Double spoon rest.

Really.

Who thought this was a good idea?

Oh, I think I'm blushing.
