So, there are tons and tons of pictures and stories to tell from my 30th birthday party.
But, well, um, I’m still kind of too busy to put all those together for you.  So instead, I’m going to be really lazy and show you the video that was played during my birthday party.

Miss Britt’s 30th Birthday [...]

We met for the first time in the hallway of a Philadelphia hotel room.  I had just convinced all of her friends to ditch her at the airport and make her get a cab to the hotel.  I was sure she’d  understand why we’d rather do tequila shots than greet her personally.
It’s a miracle she [...]

(Hint:  the only right answer here is, YES!)
After much consideration and ample poking and prodding from Jared, I’ve decided to apply for a temporary travel job from TheBigTrip.com.
The deal is, basically, that you spend 3 months traveling – all expenses paid – and you earn a $50,000 salary for those 3 months.  Part of the [...]

I think I need about 3 days worth of sleep to catch up from this weekend.
Once that is done, there may be pictures. In the meantime…

Thanks to Kim for capturing this moment from the party, and to Maria and Heather for allowing me to be your back up.

I’ve heard a million stories about the tornado that wiped out my hometown, Parkersburg, Iowa, last spring.
I’ve seen pictures and books and newspaper stories. I’ve sifted through the rumble and walked through the war zone.
And none of it prepared me for this video.

The woman holding the camera and her husband owned the restaurant where [...]

That counts as a recap, right?
No?
How about this?

I’m on my way home from Miami, so you get this:

Rest assured, I did not leave my children home alone while I was out of town.

This year was a 180 degree difference from last year.
It was a full weekend instead of one night.
It was three theme parks instead of one.
It was happiness and laughter and relaxation and pure, unadulterated joy – instead of… well… something else entirely.
It was magic. Corny, cheesy, commercialized to perfection magic.

I cannot say thanks enough [...]

On Saturday, November 15th, Join The Impact organized protests in every state in the United States and across Canada. People came out to protest the passing of Proposition 8 in California (and similar ballot initiatives in other states – including Florida) and support gay rights.
I took my two kids to the event in Orlando.

You [...]

Ahem. Direct link here.

Happy Birthday, you hot piece o’ ass.
(OK, but seriously. Vote. Don’t know where? Find out here.)

The blogging experts say it is taboo to give a laundry list of What You Did Today on your blog. Apparently, it’s boring.
But they don’t say anything about showing what you did.

This concept was shamefully stolen from Whall. His 3 Minute DITL Video series is fantastic. I am but a pale [...]

You need to see this before the weekend is over.

In many states, you must be registered to vote by tomorrow – October 4th.
If you’re already registered because you care, help someone you know who isn’t registered. You’d be amazed how many people don’t vote because they don’t register ahead of time – because they [...]

There is a nasty rumor going around the Internet that I cannot sing.
Someone even had the nerve to say that I was not a karaoke star.
Obviously, they have not heard me at my finest. Which is to say…
They haven’t heard me in the car.

I think I [...]

You know how I was all “woo hoo, my guests are going home, and I will be all excited about getting my house back and settling back into my normal routine”?
What I meant was “woo hoo, my guests are going home, and I will be all excited about getting my house back and settling back [...]
