Sweet Justification! Praise the B-Society!

Late risers unite in Denmark By Chris Morris BBC News, Denmark If you find it hard to get up in the morning, don't despair - you're not lazy, you're just genetically programmed that way, says the B-Society in Denmark. The sound of the alarm is dreaded by B-people everywhere I have still got a rather nasty bruise on my shin at the moment after the flawed execution of my latest elaborate plan - to make sure I did not miss the dreaded early morning flight. I was sleeping rather fitfully in the spare room downstairs, trying to avoid waking up the rest of the house, when the time ticked around to 4.30. First the phone alarm on the bedside table chirruped. I soon dealt with that. But then one minute later the alarm clock cunningly hidden on the other side of the room burst into life. The trick is to place an obstacle - in this case my son's rickety wooden rocking horse - in your path, making immediate access difficult. Now I know it is not my fault. I am a B-person The idea, obviously, is that by the time you find the blasted clock you are awake. The trouble was, in this case, in my bleary-eyed trance, I forgot about the horse altogether and crashed into it at some speed. Searing pain, followed by muffled obscenities, left me lying in a heap on the floor, the alarm clock still beeping impatiently. I made the flight, the sunrise looked lovely, but boy do I hate mornings. But it is OK. Now I know it is not my fault. I am a B-person. A B-person - as opposed to an A-person - genetically pre-disposed to operate better and to be more alert later in the day.

We're Not in Hartford Anymore, Toto!

OK so a few of us go out front of our office building and there is a chicken...yes a chicken... like old mcdonald had a farm chicken.... and its huge... and its just chilling...hanging out front ... so someone eventually called animal control so it wouldnt get hit by a car and we are trying to catch it... YEAH RIGHT!...so then it runs to the back of the building and this lady from the next store office comes and out and im thinking she's kidding ..and says "did my chicken follow me to work today?" and she looks at the chicken and yup..it was hers..it rode to work with her in the back of her pickup and she didnt know... so there was like 10 of us and 2 animal control officers and the owner all trying to catch "Gertrude"..they finally caught her ... In all my life i never thought i would see a chicken at work....

The wedding was so much fun and Luke and Megan looked awesome. Here are some snapshots of the weekend... I say some but there are actually 138... BUT...that is "some" when you consider that I actually took over 800 that weekend....

Click here to check them out.

(Or, if you're really ambitious... there are 400 pictures on ofoto.com, just click here)

Some of my favorite shots

I love this picture because of the two emotions captured...Owen is crying and right in the background Mary and Olivia are smiling and happy..

I love the reflection in the window... black and white emphasized it so much nicer than the color

I love the Mary Kate and Ashley moment Olivia is having..a total little diva...i really love her expression in this shot too

What could be cuter than a little kid covered in chocolate chips..

The expressions captured in these next two photos are what I like most

I just love when my husband laughs... I think he has the sexiest smile..

Meme, Pepe, and Sean

The End of the Great Iroc Debate

It's official...the Iroc Z28 is gone... Meme and Pepe were in an accident with the camaro...they are both ok but Pepe got a nice bump on his head which later turned into two really big black eyes. No pictures of the black eyes but Meme said he looked like a racoon...

We tied the ice pack to his head so he wouldnt have to keep holding it...

Ben and Lucille gave sean and I a starter Italy kit.... some really good expresso, a stove top expresso maker and two beautiful expresso cups with expresso spoons...sean LOVES the stove top expresso maker and has some everyday!

I just love this picture of Toto
