First day of school last year looked very much like many others from years past… one big sister and one little brother-
This year looked much different, with The Girl off to college, The Boy starting high school, and International Guy staying for his senior year-
Welcome to the family, Will! You might want to invest in headphones. You might also just want to run. Far away and fast. Good luck, boys!
Cruised through Tumblr today and came across SpecialBored, the home of Vinnie’s Pizza on Tumblr.
For a good laugh, go visit!

As seen on Jimmy Kimmel, so you know it’s good!
Nothing like coming back home to the tumble-fur. You know what “tumble-fur” is, don’t you? Similar to tumbleweeds, they are the piles of fur shed by your sweet pets in your absence. The longer you are gone, the larger the tumble-fur becomes.
Four day vacations are all it takes to produce some mighty fine specimens.
All I did on Tuesday and Wednesday was clean up and do laundry. I didn’t even log anything new on Wednesday, unless I count trying The Husband’s beer that was new to him as well…
It was a hit, whew!
A couple months ago, I took The Boy to an R rated movie that I thought would be all right… That was kind of not a smart thing to do.
Clearly, I have not learned my lesson- we took The Girl to see a bunch of comedians downtown since the headliner is a friend of The Husband. This is a first for us… The Mad House Comedy Club downtown in Horton Plaza is an 18 and up and some of the comedy can be pretty crass and off-colored.
What saved us was missing a few of the acts since one of us forgot her ID and we had to drive all the heck the way back home to get it (insert epic eye roll and long suffering parental sigh here). We missed a couple of the more outrageously raunchy acts this way. Am I a good parent, or what?!?
Fortunately, Johnny Cardinale does a show that isn’t cringe-worthy at all for a parent to see with their (college-aged) kid. The music set he does complete with guitar is fabulous and particularly why we wanted The Girl to see his act.
Thanks for a another great evening, Johnny!
I FINALLY get to go to COMIC-CON here in San Diego! Six years of living here and never getting passes and I win two today. That’s the joke around here- no one from San Diego seems to get Comic-Con tickets, locals just can’t seem to get them unless they know someone.
I won our local news station’s daily drawing for two passes…Thank You Fox 5 Morning News!! Unfortunately, now my kids and husband are going to have to compete to see who gets the second pass, things might get ugly around here…
