We caught this squirrel trying to make a break for it:

Go, squirrel, go!

Damn Yankees opened last night and was a hit! This is the show that Chris directed at the Metropolis Performing Arts Center in Arlington Heights, IL. He spent months and months in preparation and weeks and weeks in rehearsal. I barely saw him the last couple of weeks, but it was worth it. This show is something that he should be very proud of.

Here is a review from Steadstyle Chicago:

Congratulations, Chris!!

Evian. Naive spelled backwards.

Perhaps I am a bit naive in bringing this up, but to me, “sodium free” should mean free of sodium, shouldn’t it?

Apparently, there is a bit of a conflict with the people at Evian:

Is it free of sodium, or isn’t it? “Less than 5mg” to me means that there might be 4mg of sodium. Or 3mg or 2mg or even 1mg. Perhaps it also means 0mg, but why not say that specifically and confidently?

Do they even know?

Well, here we are - finally settled into our new apartment! We only moved less than a mile away, too! Here are some pics taken by Chris:

We are on the second floor

Living room

Dining room

Bedroom

Kitchen

We also each have offices and a little porch off of the living room to sit on. Oh - and the bookshelf, china cabinet, and cabinet in the hallway (to the left of the dining room) are all built in!

Hooray!

Does anyone else out there think this is the creepiest looking doll you’ve ever seen?

Here is a closeup:

That is actually the cute one. Here is a picture of the really creepy one:

Yikes!
