Finally....

The Sanjaya Reign of Terror has finally come to an end!! I must also say that I'm glad that Country Week is over. Now we can get down to the nitty-gritty. I think Phil really improved his "stock" this week and Jordan proved that she really should still be in it as well. Did anyone else think that Lakeisha really didn't look like she wanted to be there this week? It seemed kinda weird to me. Oh well.

Also, I just finished watching Lost. It was a little weird, but the previews for the rest of the season look really good so I'm pretty excited about that.

    Jordan was awesome....I don't think she's shown it till recently. Lakeisha just sounded off key on her song. I really thought Sanjaya would last at least one more week

    Lakeisha was also with the other 5 on Oprah today and she looked really put out that she was still in the running...though she talked about how serious it was for her to win and make a better life for herself and her kid. Go figure.

Anyway I hope you and your family are doing good. Do you get on IM any more. Just wondering. I don't see you on there. Okay talk to you later. I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend.

.....uuuuhhhhh, ok

Jake just walked into my office with his finger up his nose and said, "Dad, I don't need help with my boogy"
  • vboyd75831

    I love the little things our youngsters say. My little girl is almost 2, so I can't wait until she's like 4 telling me these random things!

  • sponjen
    that is so funny! kids say the funniest things...and they are so honest. He just wanted you to know that in case you wanted to help him with his boogy, that he was doing fine all by himself:)

  • tortilla

San Diego

Hilary and I went to San Diego for a few days the first part of this week. We were able to get away by ourselves while Jake was with Hilary's parents. Its only about a 5 hour drive from here and it was really nice to get away from work, if only for a couple days. We basically just did some touristy stuff. Also, I have a friend here who used to live there and suggested some local food places that we probably never would have known about otherwise and they were AMAZING! Below are some if the pictures we took from a harbor tour boat.....

Downtown Skyline
the Convention Center
cool picture of a port building
the USS Midway
sea lions on a live bait dock
  • lauraroseborough
    That sounds like fun. I love the picks. I hope you are all doing okay.

    i think it's so funny that the sea lions just hang out there! i have a great friend from san diego and i think it sounds awesome! (yet very expensive to live there!)

    Sounds like a good trip. Hope no guys hit on you while you were there.

    he is appraising real estate and it's a good job, but no benefits come attached AND the economy is always so questionable so it's really a good job for a single guy or a rich guy who can live off some inherited money or something. anyways, i guess it's something he can ALWAYS fall back on!

    We love San Diego! We went last year, but only stayed there one day because it was really a Disneyland trip and we just visited SD for a little while. We would so love to go back and stay longer this time.

  • vboyd75831
    how about some new pictures of Jake? Even though your San Diego are really cool especially the sea lions.

I knew it!!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!! I knew that Claire and Jack were brother and sister ever since the episode when Jack's dad showed up drunk at some random woman's house in Australia last season!

For those of you who may have no idea what I'm talking about, you should really start watching Lost. Its the greatest show on earth. Besides the Ringling Brothers Circus of course. You can rent the first 2 seasons at your video store of choice and catch up with this season (season 3) on line at http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing

ok.....GO!
....Really!

By the way, my wife Hilary just joined our little party, so stop by and say hi to her when you get the chance. She's still new to the whole thing but I'm quite certain that all of her posts will be about how wonderful her loving husband is.

  • shannon_h
    thanks a lot for ruining it for me! We haven't watched that episode yet. Oh well, now I know :)

  • kaceyatthebat
    yeah, your little spoiler did it for me too as ken and I were scheduled to watch wednesday's episode tonight when he got off work! oh well, it was still good and there were other cool things. Like how about that last 15 seconds? Lost rocks. I'm glad to see you're obsessed with Lost and not just American Schmidol.

    Ha! I ain't getting older you are. LOL Thanks though. :-) I hope you and your family are doing good. We just got back from seeing The Channel Play tonight at SXSW. So much fun. Have a great weekend.

From the mouths of babes...

Yesterday my son Jake was doing something that he shouldn't (I don't really even know what) and Hilary told him to stop and he didn't. So Hilary says to him "What does God say about obeying?". His reply (he's 3 and a half) ...."Parents, obey your children."

True story.
