So much for Palin's "moral" highground...

Abuse of Power and ...

Violation of the Public Trust!

She says, "God bless INTERNET!"

So I officially made a boo boo in my car today. See, I have been putting all sorts of new car good conduct rules into place and I still manage to slip up and leave a mark. Three long, navy blue ink marks on my grey leather front passenger seat to be exact.

So after I stopped hyperventilating and got home from my daughter's softball game, I decided to ask my good ol' buddy, INTERNET, how to remove the offending marks. And four minutes later I'm outside, fending off the mosquitoes with hairspray and rubbing alcohol in hand, scrubbing furiously at the quickly vanishing marks on the seat.

Thank you, INTERNET. Now can you also tell me how to remove lipstick prints from a computer monitor, too? Hee.

Introducing HELIOS!

Thanks to all of you that submitted suggestions for our car's name. We love being out and about zipping around in our new car, a Sunburst Orange Chevy HHR.

Doncha love it?! BEEP BEEP!

She said "THAT IS AMAZING"

I read an article today in the Pioneer Press about street painters that are here for the Flint Hills International Children's Festival and image googled "street painters" and this is one of the most amazing pieces of street art I've ever seen!

A conversation with two SHEs that starts and ends with "PEEP"!

She1: "So you know that Peep Lipbalm you gave me last year?"

She2: "Uh, yeah...why?"

She1: "It's sorta tastes disgusting."

She2: "No way - peeps are so delicious!"

She1: "I KNOW. But the peep lip balm? Not. So. Much."

[She2 winces at the thought of giving a crappy Easter present]

She1: "So the funny thing is that when people ask me if I have lip balm they can borrow, THAT'S the one I give them that one to use."

She2: "And do they tell you it's crappy, too?"

She1: "Nope. They just never ask for lip balm again."

She says...You have worms!

So I called my friend Lori tonight to get cheered up, and I ended up telling her about my trip to Myrtle Beach earlier this week and how I had enjoyed sushi, only to "enjoy it" later that night, and ended up basically peeing out of my butt for 5 days. I actually celebrated the fact that I had a solid poop just a few days ago.

But strangely enough, I have started to have more problems down yonder, if you get my drift. To which Lori says, "Oh, you have worms! Hee."

He said..."You're crushing my BALLS!"

This is what my littlest he, Griff, said to us while being squeezed on HE's lap. At a restaurant. Out loud. Really loud.

That kid cracks me up.

She said...I love BNL!

So He and I went to the BNL (that's Barenaked Ladies for those you stuck in Siberia) concert yesterday. 4th Row, center...It was incredible!

I have more and more respect for these guys. They are witty and smart (not as much as Lori, though) and truly seem to love what they do.

What I don't have respect for is the drunkard lady next to us that spent all night looking at HIM and slurring, "HE'S SO00000 TALLLLLLL! I CAN'T BUH-LEEEVE HOW TAAAALLL HE ISSSSSSSH."

Um, yeah, he sure is tall, lady. And you smell. BADDDDDLY.

PS> Bonus BNL: I got hit with Tyler's stick as they were saying toodles and the drunk ended up grabbing it before I did. I almost punched her, but my hand hurt from getting clipped by the stick. Fortunately, HE saw a guitar pick that landed on the ground near us, unclaimed, and my oldest son is going to be so excited to get it for Christmas!
