Happy Fall Everyone!

Meet Molly

Yesterday I became a first time pet owner. I adopted Molly, a four year old beagle, from a local shelter. She is wonderful! She's very sweet and only goes potty on the grass!! The teens love her and she really enjoyed all the attention they gave her last night. So, with 24 hours down, all I can say is so far-so good!

Ahhh, what a nice birthday.

Is anyone following the Jon and Kate drama?  I'm very nervous about Jon's fidelity.  I watched Kate on Today the other day and she seemed really sad.  What are your thoughts out there people?

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

When did total nerd come back in style?  I've been seeing this look a lot lately:

Surprisingly, this look seems to be absolutely intentional.  The trendy Starbucks worker and Borders clerk are now sporting the mullet and big glasses.  They say everything old becomes new again.  I guess everything nerdy becomes cool at some point.  I'm thinking of getting out my glasses and putting some masking tape around the nose piece.  I'll do anything to be cool.

I've been meaning to blog about this for awhile. Last month my cousin, Kenny, passed away after an incredible battle with cancer. He was a police officer with the Austin police force for 30 years. His funeral was unlike anything I've ever seen. First of all, I've never seen so many cops in one room. The funeral was the greatest showing of respect I've every seen. The weather was cold and rainy which seemed quite fitting.

I've been blown away by Kenny since his diagnosis. I've never seen someone face such difficult circumstances with such a positive attitude and will to live. He never stopped fighting even in the very end. If a fighting spirit alone could cure cancer, Kenny would have been cured the day after his diagnosis.

Here is a link to the news coverage of his funeral.
