Unmixed Jambalaya SpiceRock Band 2 has augmented our home entertainment, thanks to the yearly raffle that Sarah won, and unleashed the inner rock star in both of us. So go on indulge yourself or come join us and rock out!
We got the opportunity to get a discounted season pass to Busch Gardens this year, which means that we get ample opportunity to ride roller coasters and enjoy some interesting shows too. One of the side benefits is that one can go taste beer at the park for free too.
While we were at the park recently we went in for a tasting with some friends when our taste/brew master made an interesting recommendation. We were tasting the Michelob Porter when he recommended making an ice cream float with it. The beer by itself is pretty nice. It is kind of heavy, but has some coffee and chocolate flavors and aromas. So after our tasting we grabbed a six pack and gave the Porter float a shot...we made it with 1/2 a beer each and a couple scoops of chocolate ice cream.
B: I thought it was interesting, but it benefited from an extra scoop or two of ice cream. End of the day I think I would rather have a rootbeer float, but I might have to give it another chance.
S: Eh, just ok...but would give it another shot with an ice cream that had some fudge in it or was more chocolaty than the one we had.
As you may or may not know, I'm extremely involved with Zeta Tau Alpha. I enjoy all of the time that I dedicate to it - and this past year has been especially special. I was asked to be the General Advisor for Kappa Phi, the Zeta chapter at Christopher Newport University. I threw the girls for a loop with my energetic style, but they soon got use to it and we accomplished a lot together.
I know I was suppose to be their advisor, but week after week leaving the chapter meetings, I knew I was getting just as much advise on life from them; whether they knew it or not.
I never tried to be cool or in the know, and I'm sure not either of those things now...but I'm a little closer. =) Late night phone calls, a retreat in North Carolina, LOTS of email, "mash the potato", Facebook, LOTS of hugs, smiles and thank yous. It was a year that I will always cherish.

As we watch the weather, we see how our West coast fans (um, friends) are getting snowed on.
Here was out winter...
Snowed one day.
Cold and sunny for two days.
Rain.
50s and 60s today.
The groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter.
We can handle that.
Life is good.
and, if you notice the day and time...yes, I'm watching the SuperBowl and working to catch up the blog! Go Giants!
Miss the Nordstrom Fall Sale?!

Another great way to try out some new music is to sign up on LaLa. I was introduced to this neat site by a friend of mine in Seattle. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks great. LaLa has a great feature, that I just read about. LaLa allows one with an IPod to sync it to their website and get some new tunes, all you need is an internet connection. My friend said that LaLa is a great way to discover some new music and keep his CD collection up to date by trading some of his old CD's that he doesn't listen to anymore...

from www.idoitdigital.comDad, this one's for you (and the rest of you that won't get out to Minnesota to see Mom's garden). She works incredibly hard all summer on her garden, caring for it and improving it. The house is such a peaceful place to be, both inside and out. It's out in the country, so the wind rustles in the trees and the birds are constantly eating from the feeders. The important thing of the day is to enjoy it. Here's just a glimpse, pardon my picture-taking skills. Brian can attest that I'm getting better, but I still cause a little blur now and then.
One of Brian's school cohorts is off interning, and I have been volunteered to watch the plant. (Not that I mind.) I haven't done any research on this little fella...but it seems to be a bonsai tree of some sort.
When it arrived at my place a few weeks ago, it had a nice curved shape.
But look what I've done to it!
It's growing!
Do I need to trim it? When? Where?
Anyone? Thoughts?
I found ours this morning and thought that everyone should have an opportunity to have a title associated with their name, even if they are "peculiar."
 | My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: His Highness Brian the Imaginary of Lower Hellswicke |
| My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Her Excellency Sarah the Contrite of Burton-le-Coggles |
Well after the cell phone washing incident. I performed open circuit board surgery on the old phone and then attempted to dry poor little phone out. However, I tried my best, but the phone just didn't have the stamina to fight off the cleaning power of Tide with a touch of Downy. I
did try the shock pads and the phone revived but was only stable on as long as I kept it on life support and awake. But one tragic night the phone just got tired and decided to go to sleep and never wake again. After a few days of mourning a replacement was found, but the old slider will always be remembered.
For further help with wet cell phones please contact your local digital doctor or for self recovery try this resource
