The new Pride and Prejudice trailer is up at Yahoo. I am so nice that I am telling you all about it before I can even hear it myself, since I’m at work and this computer has no sound. It looks good, and I’ll be watching it as soon as I get home. Here’s hoping. [...]

The reason I didn’t continue with my very first blog is because of the temptation to turn everything into a clever little moment. Did the cashier say something funny when I bought some gum?

-Diet Coke with Splenda. Okay, I don’t love it, but I would drink it again, and it was fun that Brandon and Sarah made sure I tried it because it combines two things that are very popular at our house. Mike, of course, being the Diet Coke purist that he is, doesn’t like it at [...]

Here are some good things that have happened since I last blogged. -A beach day with Mike. Do you know how rare and difficult this is? Mike does not like the beach. However, our friends convinced him that it would be fun . . . actually, no, that’s wrong. We just flat-out told him we [...]
