The show was b*tchin’! Kelly came out and sang her behind off. I’m going to post more later (including more pictures and the set list) but, alas, I have to get to work this morning. Here are a couple teasers, though:

UPDATE! 04/03/2005Due [...]

4 hours until kick off! Brian and I work downtown just a couple blocks away from the theater where Kelly is performing. Her bus is officially here and the excitment is building! I’m getting PUMPED! :)
That’s all. Go back to work.

That’s right! Tonight is Kelly Clarkson night! She’s playing here in Tulsa at the Chapman Theater in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. We’ll be in the fifth row! Hooray!
Brian and I work close by and get off at 6:00 this evening. We’ll grab a snack-a-roo before the show and [...]

I thought this was funny because it’s all about removing the plank from your own eye.

On her radio show recently, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. [...]

Brian and I celebrate our 4th Anniversary together today! Hooray! It’s been a wonderful and joyous four years for us even though we’ve hit a few bumps (hip replacements, job changes).
I know a lot of people still have trouble understanding or accepting relationships like ours. But if those people could follow us around for a [...]

We had a fun day, I’ll write more later. But I wanted to post a picture of the newest member of our family - Puddy Piggy. :) As most of you know, I collect pigs. This little guy is a Steiff piggy that Brian bought for me today. What a sweety!

Anybody else have an iPod out there? Gotta love ‘em! I have a 4G 40GB model and have about 7,000 songs on it. I’m going to post my top 10 most played now again and what I think of them.

Ah! The joy of a lazy day in your PJs. It’s unparalleled - am I right? We had a really good day yesteday. After sleeping in a bit, Brian and I got out and about. We ran a few errands then hit the mall and putzed around a bit. We just enjoyed getting out and [...]

It’s been a fun and long day. Just stopping in to post a picture really quick. Here I am with the birthday boy! Hope you are all well and happy. Have a good evening!

It’s Saturday morning which I was certain would never actually arrive! I slept in a little bit later today than I normally would have but I’m still up before the Birthday Boy! I had to let little bit (Char Char) out to make her sprinkles and I couldn’t get back to sleep.
I was [...]

Just found this picture of Char Char (Charlie), our little Shih Tzu, on my computer so I thought I’d share it with you folks. :)

I’m not going to migrate the old posts from my blog onto this new setup but they’re still there. If you want to go back and read archived rantings, here’s your options:

Sorry kiddos but it would just be too much work. In the future, all posts will be [...]

We have a group of city councilors here in Tulsa that have become power hungry. Over the past months, our city council has gotten zip accomplished because a group of 4 councilors won’t agree to anything that doesn’t suit their agenda.
In an effort to get Tulsa back on the right track, the citizens filed petitioning [...]

Alright, so maybe I’ve become a bit of a blog-a-holic. But I’ve updated the blog page again. The other design was super cute and I loved it but it wasn’t working with all web browsers. For some reason, we still don’t have web standards that ensure cross-browser compatibility. Ho hum!
Well, I [...]

Well, I thought that last night’s American Idol was the best show of the season by far. Scott, Carrie, Nikko, Bo, Vonzell, Jessica all turned it top notch performances.
If you’ve read my blog then you know that Carrie is my favorite. I thought that she was FABULOUS last night! Perfect [...]

Bri didn’t get home until almost midnight last night. That’s just crazy. I’ve found myself getting more paranoid about being home alone at night. I barracade myself in the bedroom with Charlie and don’t go out for almost anything. I am a complete wuss. :) Brian’s subjected me to one too many scary movies.
I [...]

Alright, I had to redo the blog. I liked the old design but it just didn’t feel right. I know that sounds a little weird to most people but other artists will understand what I mean. You just KNOW when something is the way you want it. Right?
So, poor Lindsay [...]

Did you see American Idol last night? What the frick is up with the judges? Carrie clearly did a great job (one of the best) and 2 out of 3 still bagged on her! Punks! I was happy to see Nikko back but I don’t think he did as great as job as in [...]

It’s been awhile, huh? We had a busy weekend so I didn’t really get around to updating the blog. Where to start?
I had to work Saturday so we didn’t get up to much. Brian spent the day doing laundry and picking up the house. Sunday was a horse of a different color. Busy, busy, busy.
On [...]

Ch-ch-changes! Made a couple additions:
-Click here to view my new links page.
-Click here to read my bio and other important information. :)
I’ve had a decent day off. I’ve been fighting a sinus infection and strep so I’ve been pretty whipped the past week. I’ve spent today getting rested up. I also [...]

Alright, I’ve been gone awhile again I know. But I have a note from my doctor excusing me. :) Sorry for the long absence but I’ve really been knocked on my butt by this sinus infection. I feel like I’ve done nothing but sleep for the past 5 days. But [...]

Woo hoo! We have some progress on “Piggy Did It!” at last. :)
-Click here to view the all new illustrated introduction to the site.
-Click here to view the all new homepage. I’ve added new graphics and made it a bit more streamlined.
So, how’s the weekend going? It’s been a slow day here but [...]

Woo hoo! It’s Friday at last! And it’s a pay day to boot so things are looking up. :) Only 22 days to go until Brian’s birthday, 25 days until our anniversay and 26 days until Kelly Clarkson! March is a month full of fun and excitment for us. Can you believe that in [...]

What’s the deal!? I can’t believe that Aloha got kicked off when some other chicks are just horrible. But it happens every year, right? I think that we’ll see here again, though. She has spunk and a lot of talent.
Ever just get in a funk? I can’t really put my finger on what the deal [...]

I changed the graphics a bit. Thought they needed some spicing up. :) I made them more festive.
I’m excited about American Idol tonight! I thought that Nikko, Mario and Bo were the best last night. Thought the little blondie surprised me; I didn’t think he had that in him. I can’t wait to see what [...]

It’s a new month already….can you believe it? March of 2005. I thought, since Easter falls in March this year, I’d go with a pastel/Spring/Easter-ish theme for this months blog. But be warned…before you know it, we’ll be back at Christmas wondering where the year went. I’m already sitting here wondering where [...]

So what was up with the judges last night? I thought that Carrie did a great job singing her song (which was a Janis Joplin tune) but they griped at her for choosing something outside the country spectrum. That just blew my mind! They’re telling everyone else to try something new, to grow, to take [...]
