I usually don't do these things. Allison, you should feel special that I am participating, and yes I feel special that I was tagged.



The Rules: 1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts. 2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!) 4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. 5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.



1. I don't like chocolate chip cookies. Sure, I'll eat them, but not very often. I don't make them.



2. My favorite shows on tv are: The Closer, the Daily Show, and South Park.



3. Today I called my mom to tell her that I loved her. If you are reading this, I encourage you to do the same if possible.



4. In 1992, I was in high school in California. Our band was suppose to be leaving to go to Disneyland, but at the last second the trip was canceled due to the Rodney King riots. The next year, we drove all the way down there, but the re-trial verdict came out, so we came straight home. We had tickets to Phantom and everything!



5. My favorite expensive wines are Jordan Cabernet (red) and Cakebread Sauvingnon Blanc (white). My favorite cheap wines are Little Penguin Cabernet (red, cause I'm drinking it right now) and Santola Vinho Verde (white).



6. I LOVE COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



7. I have the best sister ever.



8. I hate forwarded mails and chain letters. If someone sends to many of them to me, I "this is spam" them. No offense. Because of that, I am not going to tag anyone, but encourage those who want to participate in their blogs or in my comments section.

A family affair

James's cousins came to visit last week! Oh, he had such a great time playing with them. He really liked Mr. C who did a great job teaching James how to walk.





Everyone went to kindermusik and now we are thinking about starting a band.



Even Annemarie got in on the action.



We celebrated Mr. C's bday...with store bought cupcakes :(



And finally, me and Annemarie.



There will probably be more pictures on the blog Who Loves Math (and who doesn't?).

Giving it a TRI

So, I signed up for the Pickens YMCA sprint triathalon. It is a 300 yard swim, 12.4 mile bike ride, and 3.1 mile run. I am very excited to be able to participate, but the only problem is that I don't own a bike. I borrowed a mountain bike from a neighbor, but I don't think it is going to work. It is just too much work to ride a mountain bike for that long. Seriously, I went on a training ride with some other people, and I came in dead last. I hate being last. So, does anyone out there in the area have a road bike that I could borrow? I just don't want to drop $700 right now for a bike that I may not use ever again.

Thanks!

Oh, Happy Day!

Congrats to the happy couple! This was one of the most personal weddings I have been to...complete with the bride and groom pumping their fists as they walked back down the aisle after getting married. So cute.

We left Baby James with the grandparents, but more about that later...

The Greemville News

I know what you are all thinking - HA, that Kerri has another typo! However, this same typo was in the Greenville paper. That paper is always filled with errors, and if I catch them, you know its bad. To make matters worse, it is just not an interesting paper to me. The articles in is are just lame, even the ones they pull off the AP wire. So, I canceled it, and we are going to try the Anderson paper. At least we will get the normal addition, instead of the early one. If that doesn't work, onto the Oconee County paper, which is actually pretty good (I LOVE Willie), but it doesn't come on Sundays.

I am such a paper snob. Will anything ever be able to compare to the Dallas Morning News??

Open invitation

Just wanted to give another open invitation to my cooking challenge blog, Monthly Challenge. This month we are doing a in season and local produce challenge. Just let me know if you would like to participate!

Climb every mountain...

Ok, not really, but James climbed a couple of stairs. That is good and bad...

ETA: Of course, he goes down stairs head first. That is bad.
