On Her Radar

During the summer of 2003, Mike, my Mom, James, Jon, Kathryn and I took a trip to Minnesota to visit family (my Grandparents and the Harrisons). One night, the Harrisons treated us with tickets to see an American Idol Concert, which was really fun.

When Clay Aiken got on the stage that night, all of the young girls just went crazy! They loved him! I think someone may have even fainted on account of his dreaminess.

What did my mom do? She started yelling as loud as she could, “save your breath girls, he is Gay! GAY!”

I was horrified.

Well, it turns out that she was right… Clay Aiken has officially come out of the closet.

I learned a very important lesson today; a mother's intuition is far more reaching than just protecting (or embarassing) her young.

Backyard Projects

We live in a house with a wonderful back yard. I love to look out the kitchen window and admire all of the flowers that are blooming during this time of the year. The only caveat to this great backyard is that the people who live behind our home are chain smokers, and we usually have to run inside after a couple of minutes of being outside because someone has decided to light up another cigarette. The great thing is that perhaps our neighbors have decided to quit, or smoke inside their home, or maybe they are just on vacation... but for the last week, we have been able to spend all our time outside without being chased away by smoke!! Yeah! My baby Matt is getting so big! Five months old, and he is still just the sweetest little baby. I LOVE HIM! To celebrate earth day, I planted a small organic vegetable/herb garden. This is the only space in our backyard that is sunny enough to sustain vegetables. But I decided that a small garden is better than no garden at all! Did you know...
