Excessories for your life

Today is my little bro's birthday. Joey is eight years old! He was tiny when he was born-- he was an entire month early. Because of this, Joe had jaundice and had to be kept wrapped in a glowing blanket-like incubator for his first couple weeks at home. He affectionately earned the name "Glowey Joey".

Now he is tall, crazy and 100 percent your typical boy. I caught him with his pants down playing video games:

What can I say, he's a time manager who knows how to juggle fun with duty.

On a separate note: I was in my favorite store today (Target!) when I overheard the following conversation in the dressing room:

Girl 1: Tell the truth, does this make me look, uh......big?
Girl 2: (without a pause) Yes.
Girl 1: I knew it! It's the straight shape. It makes my butt look huge.
Girl 2: Girl, you KNOW you have a HUGE ass- don't be blaming it on these.
Girl 1: You're gonna depress me right into eating a third donut.

Let's face it, no happy conversation ever followed that first sentence. I mean, if you have to ask...

Another entirely unrelated topic (this is a very disjointed blog entry- is "disjointled" a word?):

Every morning on my way to work I listen to the 92.5 Mix Morning Show. It's there as sure as the sun rises and as sure as I will spill something on my pants before I get to the office. I tune in to Mitch, Amy, and John religiously. I have the morning show routine down pat.

I know that Mitch will do his "nutty news" and Amy will do her "celebrity gossip" then right before eight they will choose caller nine to play "Truth or I don't think so". Oh and don't forget the famous "Monday Morning Confessions".

This morning I woke up to find that the Mix Morning Show is no more! Not only that but Mix 92.5 had been replaced overnight by Moving 92.5- (lame!). No warning, no announcement, its as if Mix never even existed!

You would think that out of everything that's inconsistent in life, we would be able to depend on our radio stations. I don't generally believe in conspiracies but I KNOW Amy wouldn't leave me alone in the world not knowing (gasp) who got kicked off American Idol! Could this be my boss' ploy to make me listen to NPR?

Where did my Mix Morning Show go?? Something fishy is going on!
