Loggins - Crosby not Kenny

Let me just say that I've been a fan of Kenny Loggins' music since my hippie mom used to play guitar and sing "House at Pooh Corner" for my brother and I at bed time in the 70s. I've seen him live {5th row, baby, and it was AWESOME!} and buy his music the second it comes out. Got an email from his organization today about his son, Crosby. Wow. Check him out. He's an amazing musician. Yeah... he looks and sounds a bit like his daddy, but that only goes so far. He's good. I'll be heading over to iTunes later to buy this album! {album... teehee. Yeah. I'm old. Like it's still vinyl..}

Top Chef night

How sad and pathetic I am... my secret shame... I love Top Chef. dh is home on Wednesday nights, and he pretends to be appalled and makes comments like, "I can actually see your IQ dropping during this show." But then, he watches, seemingly paying no attention while visiting his Maverick message boards.

The thing is, I would be a chef if it weren't for the whole "get your ass out of my kitchen" thing I have going on... I really don't want help in the kitchen. Just go sit in the living room with your beverage and leave me alone. I will chat with you later, or from across the room. Your choice. I get this from my mother. It's a wonder I even learned to cook at all {thanks Grandma J and Aunt B, for allowing me into the kitchen!}

But now this comes out. WTF? Who is out there taking shots at chefs? And he just kept cooking! What a guy. Guess they're saying he was hit by a "falling bullet" from a near-by golf course. Did people forget those pesky physics laws? Do they think that bullets, when fired into the air, just keep going up? I wonder how many people have died due to these falling bullets.

I have not touched my camera in days. It's just wrong. I need to go shoot something. {with the camera. No falling or otherwise bullets for me, thanks}

Speaking of shoots... {we weren't but now we are} we have some teeny, tiny little bits of green coming up in the yard. Bulbs, baby. dh and the girly girls planted tons of bulbs last fall, and it may be that the deer did not consume them all. Hooray. Nothing better than green after the winter.

Blog Slacker

Yup. That's me. Blog slacker. I've been reading this amazing, years long blog of a Chicago woman who calls herself Mimi Smartypants. I am regularly snorting beverages through my nose. I am inspired to begin blogging again - real entries... and to redo the graphics. Boring.

love how she {mimi smartypants} signs off... I may need to steal it...

Philly Flower Show

It's that time of year again. Hooray! I just love to see all the colors and smell spring in the air. They make it easy to forget that you're in a convention center! This year's theme is New Orleans. The exhibits are peppered with instruments and Jazz themes. Highly recommend you go see it if you have the chance.
