Mom and dad bought a car over the weekend. They sent me the cutest video.
I'm having problems getting it up (and have a feeling Mom would kill me if I posted the movie to YouTube and then put in a link), so you'll have to be satisfied with this photo:

Yes, their car has eyes. It's a Toyota Camry. I'm so happy that Mom now has a set of wheels.

This is the most literate cat in America.

For our next home renovation project: this bookcase is actually wallpaper.

Awesome!

Matt's final ComedySportz show. He is the figure centerstage bathed in white light. He was amazing.

His exit was very sweet. The CSz folks gave him a watch, just like when a person retires from other companies. I know it's scary to forsake the safe route for the unknown, but he is such a ball of creativity that I know he'll land somewhere great.

This sounds corny, but I cried after the show. I was just so proud of him. And I'll miss seeing him in the dorky red bowling shirt.

Because I am an idiot, I took pictures of Darrah's Chicago vacation with my phone instead of my actual camera. I am in the process of getting them onto my computer now, but it's tedious because I have to do it one by one.

Here's a sneak preview: Darrah, Marla, and I in front of the infamous Chicago bean.

I had so much fun with everything we did last weekend. I spent most of the week a bit blue, but I've bounced back okay. I'm glad that Darrah has found her home in Seattle. I just wish it wasn't so far away.

But, we like to visiting.

Hilarious.

A view from the office. The stained glass window Matt got me for our anniversary. The Tiffany lamp we bought in St. Augustine. And our new addition, Fiona Herbert, the Fukien Tea bonsai tree. Note the flowers!
