Here's a website that will help you get rid of catalogs you aren't interested in receiving. A few minutes at the keyboard might add up to keeping a tree from being cut down.

Note: it works best when you have an actual copy of the catalog you received in the mail.

Spelling Bee

Emily represented her class in a multi-school spelling bee today. We are very proud of her! She and Sammie were very supportive of each other; having a good friend by your side goes a long way.

I think we all knew DST sucks, we just didn't know how much.

wsbradio.com: FairTax Webinar
While I hate the word "Webinar", here's a 1-hour introduction to the Fair Tax straight from Neal Boortz. A good educational tool for those who have the time. I'm in the process of listening to "FairTax: The Truth: Answering the Critics" on CD right now, so be sure to quiz me when you see me. :)

Alex lost an upper front tooth today - alright, Amanda pulled it out at Alex's request. He's starting to look like a hockey player!

We got a note from school today telling us that Emily will be representing her class in a multi-school spelling bee! She's already won two rounds, one against her regular classmates, and one against the Encore (gifted) students. We have always known that language is one of Emily's greatest gifts!

Well, would you? Welch's is going to start running ads that allow you to taste the grape juice. Just be wary of picking up magazines in doctors' offices...

Sing Ho for the Life of a Bear!

Amanda's Mom's Birthday present to Emily was tickets to see "Winnie the Pooh" at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery. It was adorable; these actors are still students but they get into these parts with such energy!

I'm not a Ron Paul supporter, which is why I can laugh at this.

We saw "Beauty and the Beast" this afternoon at the MAC (Murray Arts Center). The Kristi Lynn Theatre is truly a professional theater, so it's a little funny to see a high school production of B&B. But these kids did a great job and were treated like stars after the production. Claire really wanted to meet Belle, then was so shy when it was her turn. Adorable, isn't it?

A Sunny January Day

M.M. has brought a sun hat for Claire to prepare us for a suny winter and spring. As usual, Claire can wear anything and look good!

Well, goody for you

We had the yearly R&D kick-off meeting yesterday here at MANH (well, it was actually at the Rennaisance Waverly Hotel) and one of the contests was a slogan for your group. My coworkers submitted my tongue-in-cheek slogan, "SCPP (pronounced 'skippy') - the peanut butter that holds the sandwich together". I got a second one for personal contributions but the one for the slogan was sweeter.

Funny summary of the Presidential candidates

It was a terrible picture, but a great evening. The Colin and Brad Show is an evening of improv comedy where people from the audience help play the games. It was at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre- a great facility, by the way. If they come to a town near you, it's worth the money. Amanda says she hadn't laughed that hard for that long for quite a while!
