Have you ever had a zit on your EYEBALL, MARY?????

Chris Elliot should have been nominated for an Oscar for this part.....
There are no quizzes today, just this silly clip from this silliest of movies. I hope your Valentine's day was great. Mine was okay but what made it worthwhile was Spencer coming home all sticky holding Valentines from all of his classmates at preschool. he was so excited! Bill worked at the preschool ALL DAY yesterday. He was sticky too, and tired.

We are all going crazy trying to get ready for the mediation hearing in April. One of our attorneys (Batman) is leaving for Africa with his family for like 6 weeks tomorrow, and the other one's (Robin) mom died. So they are leaving us along for the moment and we are trying to take advantage of the extra time to get our act together. There is a ton of stuff to do. I do not even remember the last vacation we had if ever, we did not even really have a honeymoon except driving across the US and stopping at every weird ass tourist thing there was. But oh well, there willbe time for that later I guess.

Spencer recently read this book that had jellyfish in it, and since then we have been talking and reading a lot of about jellyfish so on Sunday we are gonna head to the Oregon Coast Aquarium

http://www.aquarium.org/

to look at some jellyfish I guess they have a really cool exhibit of them there:

We will stay only one night and we have to take the dog who is doing MUCH better but still it will be fun. I cannot wait to see Spencer's face when he sees all the jellyfish!! This kids book I read him about the sea is really cool and he has learned so much from it. If you ask him now how a dolphin sees in the dark when he is swimming, he will tell you "Echolocation."

its one of many of these Dr Seuss books that use the the Cat a\in the Hat guy to teach kids stuff like about the human body or animals or dinosaurs or the sea or how to take care of your teeth etc. I am sure they were written long after Dr Seuss died, but Spencer loves them so much so I am glad they exist. They are all in the Cat in the Hat Learning Library and the one we learned about the fish is called Wish for a Fish: http://www.amazon.com/Wish-Fish-About-Creatures-Lrning/dp/0679891161/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203111056&sr=8-1

There are a lot of them and I plan to get out the rest of them from the library soon.

So. I have like 48 books checked out from the library, though a lot of them are cook books and also kids books. I am currently reading Armistead Maupin's first installment of "Tales of the City." So far pretty cheezy. Then I just finished the bio of Laci Peterson that her mom wrote which was kind of sad. I know its stupid to read those true crime books, but I ususally only read ONE of them. I only read TWO OJ books, the Kardashian one and another one by that one guy who looks exactly like my friend Ben Mayer, Jeffrey Toobin. I am also starting the Peter Mayle books, I have two of them out: A year in Provence and Up the Agency. Also I bought Sidney Poitier's bio Measure of a Man for 50 cents at the library but have not read it yet, so that one is waiting for me...

So we have been working on the case, I have been reading, lots of valentines and stuff and that is about it.
