Isn’t she the greatest mom, ever?

Welcome to the 2006 edition of the Sappiest Tradition Ever (TM), wherein I hijack Beth’s blog to say how great she is. Well, I can’t let this year pass me by, as Beth’s in kind of a rough patch, with her concussion and all. I’ll admit that I’m not the kindliest nursemaid, by any stretch, and she has a tendency to try to tough out her illnesses and injuries and soldier on with her motherly duties, which usually leads me to forget that anything’s wrong. (As for me, I’m a baby, and just refuse to get out of bed when I’m feeling poorly).

What you see up there in that picture isn’t just a rare Kodak moment; it’s an everyday occasion. That look of absolute joy in Eli’s face, and the spark of fun and mischief in Beth’s: that’s just the way it is around here. Kyle and Eli are the luckiest boys in the world.

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for Beth’s devotion to her family, and especially for her understanding and support when it comes to my crazy projects. When I go out and spend $10,000 on power tools and proceed to build a house, spending every weekday, from sunup to sundown up the mountain (something that would send most wives into fits), she supports me 100% (or at least 99). She encourages me to follow my dreams, and does everything in her power to make them come true.

And she’s not only an excellent friend to me, and to the boys, but to so many other people as well. She’s empathetic and giving to a fault, and people are lucky to know her. Happy birthday, sweetie. May there be many more, and I hope I’m with you through them all.

[Please wish Beth Happy Birthday on the Post Below. If I opened comments on this post, they would go to me.]

A list of Coming Attractions

I took this picture when my camera and I took a walk two Sundays ago. I have several more pictures from my little adventure, and I have been trying to find a moment to post them. I don’t know where my days are going, but lately they have been going, often ending with a long list of to-dos looming over my head.

For starters, I have so many things to catch you up on and here is a list of “coming attractions”:

  • My take on TomKat’s little kitten. . . And did anyone out there see the Primetime episode recently where Diane Sawyer fantastically bombarded Tom with all those Scientology questions? I still can’t get over the, Tom Cruise-Matt Lauer-Phsychology-debate clip.

    “Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you don’t even — you’re glib.”

    And what’s this about Tom and Operating Thetan Level VII?

  • The Sperm Gathering Room (I even took pictures)
  • Summer School: While walking home from the market, Eli asked about a certain summer school class and wondered if I could sign him up for it. You will never guess what the class is. And I am also guessing that I will need someone out there to help me find out where he can sign up.
  • Aries Three in relation to the week of April 19/20th. And actually, I don’t think an Aries Three and the week of April 19th/20th have anything to do with each other, but I happened to be channel surfing tonight when I saw Melissa Joan Hart on Access Hollywood speaking of this very same Aries Three Issue. She happens to share the same birthday as Suri Cruise, Tom and Katie’s new baby. (And yes, all roads always lead back to Tom Cruise.)

    Transcript from Access Hollywood: “Sabrina, The Teenage Witch” star Melissa Joan Hart, who shares the same birthday as Suri, explains the Aries star sign personality!

    “April 18 is, like, Aries three,” Melissa said. “So, it is like the strongest of all the signs! Most pigheaded and just very stubborn.”

  • Speaking of this crazy week (day), did you know that April 20th or 4/20 is also, National Weed Day? (As I remind Dave that today is “National Weed Day.” He asks me why we let “National Weed Day” pass us by. The he pauses and assures me that there is always next year.)
  • >MIKE
  • Spring Break 2006
  • CrazyUs needs a new spring look and that is coming too.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR WELL WISHES ABOUT OUR CAR BREAK-INS. YOUR THOUGHTS MEAN THE WORLD TO ME . . . This was just a start to get me writing again. I have been paralyzed by how much I have to say and how much I have to do. I feel better now.

Real World / Blog World Challenge

by BethArchives / Travel

 

 

Southern Utah

Ok . . . humph . . . so most of the people I know in the human world have no idea what a blog is. If they do, it’s a superficial knowledge at best. And their superficial knowledge comes out sounding like an ABC Nightly News sound bite:

“There is a new internet fad sweeping the nation called blogging . . .”

If I am lucky, they might know that people who blog get fired for blogging or that blogs were the reason that CBS got into so much trouble with the whole fact checking George W. Bush’s military record issue or that maybe their sister posts pictures of her kids on the internet and that’s a blog, right? For this reason, I pretty much avoid the fact that what Dave does for a living is essentially run a technology blog, that we are able to live off of the income from this technology blog and that we have been “blogging” since 1997, way before it was called blogging.

Big deal. Instead, I usually tell people, who ask, that Dave works in high-tech as a publisher.

Finding the space between blogging and the face-to-face world is an interesting challenge. And I think our world is ready for that challenge.
