What Have we been up to....

So people who were once die hards still check back and ask what's up with the blog meltdown. Well j9 and I have been ultra busy preparing for our new arrival! The stroller(s) are tested, the crib is on order and we are preparing for this wonderful arrival. Don't ask names and we don't know the sex. One of the things that I have been working on is something really amazing called the Michael Oremus Foundation. This is a foundation that had it's first meeting in January and now is a reality. I am so honored to be able to contribute and build the Michael Oremus Foundation web site. Please check it out and consider adding this to your list of charitable causes. Mikey was just an amazing kid and my best friend's kid brother, whose life was cut short serving his country.

I hold on to sharkblog, because I know I will want to use it to get the word out when we have the arrival. rock on everyone...

SAINT BLUE!!!

There is nothing I can write here, it's simply SAINT BLUE. If you know it, you love it and you are laughing of a memory of the car or just cracking at the thought of saint.

If you don't know saint, you are missing out.

Slip n Slide - Fun for the WHOLE family - DISCLAIMER Pain for grown ups

I've been called superfluous before with my "best ever" cries, but the wham-o slip n slide is one of the greatest inventions ever, even if it is just a tarp with agua. I remember when I had one as a kid the fun I had running as fast as I could until i slid off the 10 foot slip-n-slide into the grass and rocks. On the "standard" model they've added another lane to the slipnslide and a bumper to save you at the end. They also have more "deluxe" models where you can multi-task, slip and slam a basketball or slip and score a soccer goal. Wal-mart and others are making the good old sprinkler look real lame by offering the Banzai falls. Last weekend at Ian's christening, Kevin went all out and got the standard slipnslide. He also decided to try it himself, testing the warning on the box stating if you are old you will basically risk spinal cord injury. Here are some great pics from the event and I can't wait till the next slipnslide event - I think each of the mcgregor clan should try to "one up" each other until someone gets a pool or the super banzai slide.

Countdown to TILDY!!


Tildy is coming to town next week for some R&R. Tildy and Judy are going to be doing some sight seeing and probably a romantic Getaway at the dive bar down the street. Then it will be back to my glorious studio and the knock off half-deflated aero bed. I can't wait!
