One of my favorite things about my job is the occasional prisoner letter we get. I can’t speak to the thought process of literally asking for a “get out of jail free” card by sending a (usually) very personal letter to the House of Representatives, but I sure enjoy reading them. And admiring the artwork in this case!
Don't you hate it when...
… you have an exchange with someone that Tumblr doesn’t make a good format for you to share? Me too, so here goes:
After lunch, headed back to work.
Andrew: (jokingly) I hate you!
Me: (leans in to give him a peck on the cheek)
Andrew: I farted.
As someone whose immediate family cannot go see a Dakota Fanning movie without comparing little-girl-Dakota to little-girl-Lemon (the resemblance is seriously freaky), I take a fair amount of offense in the above. Though I agree. :o)
(via lizlemon)
It’s true: Even though I didn’t know Liz until she was 20, I’ve never been able to watch a Dakota Fanning movie without thinking it’s Lil’ Lemon up there on the screen.
(Also, I don’t care what people say about her, I still think Dakota is precious.)

A bit of a Tumblarity rant here:
This quote was something I wrote in about 2 seconds this morning. Another Tumblr, Alishan, re-blogged it with a simple “agreed.” Because she has many more followers (I’m assuming here), my two little sentences have been not only re-blogged from her, but re-blogged again!
I really don’t care about Tumblarity, I don’t even have my Tumblr set as “searchable,” but this just seems like a problem to me. For others, who care about their content more than I do.
sade:
Hey guys, Dakota Fanning is better looking at 15 than you are as an adult.
Just crushing your self-esteem one day at a time.
OK, this is the 2nd Dakota Fanning post I’ve seen this morning. I have to say, for such a weird looking kid, she grew up to be absolutely beautiful.

After these excerpts, I don’t trust any official of any sport, ever.
LSU vs. Bama:
On the menu for the game is:
- Shrimp and Artichoke Soup- We doubled the recipe and we’ll have tons to freeze.
- Pulled Pork- The smallest roast I could find was still huge, so we’ll have leftovers of this too!
- Dirty Rice- Andrew’s been wanting to try a recipe we have. So we did.
- Potato Salad- To go with the pork.
I’m pretty fired up about the game and all the eating opportunities we’ll have!!
Forget college, PreK is definitely the best time of your life
glitter, paint, singing and dancing AND an hour and half nap. Seriously, what more do you need?!?
Mackenzie got to make ice cream for “I” week AND they got to hula hoop for “H” week. So fun, right?
Seriously. We should teach preschool.
So this is one of my favorite pictures because these were my friends from senior year of high school, and these are my friends today. Lauren (all the way on the right) got married last year, and we were all her bridesmaids. Erin (middle) is getting married in March 2010 and we are her bridesmaids.
There is so much I could point out about this, but I’ll stick to just picking on myself:
- Blonde hair- I decided I wanted highlights, but then realized that I don’t like to “get my hair did” (aka spend that much money) every 6 weeks.
- I’m attempting to squish together some cleavage, with no luck. I wish I could say that was a thing of the past…
- Those are corduroy pants I’m wearing. On SPRING BREAK. I don’t know either.
So yeah, these are my bridesmaids (or BMs as we call it. Ha!). And looking at the lineup, I think it’s safe to say when each of us get married, it will be the same crew (plus a sister or possibly childhood friend throw in).
I’ve gotten three compliments on this necklace already this morning. And here’s the kicker… it’s from Wal-Mart!
GPOYW: With Archie You Know Who!
(L-R: Me, Baer*, Archie Manning, Rob)
*Doesn’t everyone call their fiance by his last name? No? Only high school boys use last names? Oh.
FedEx:
Andrew got an e-mail saying FedEx was delivering something today. I thought our wedding invitations were arriving! But it’s just the LSU Basketball tickets.
So um… Geaux Tigers?
Let me let you in on a little secret
The key to watching your Tumblarity soar (if you’re into that whole thing) is blogging a quote from The Office or How I Met Your Mother.
You heard it here first.
30 Rock also works well for this, or posting news like you’re engaged (yay!) or having a baby (not me, Syd).
