I have so much to blog about, it's ridiculous.

I just went on a family vacation to California:

We had an amazing time in Disneyland and were very tired afterward:

However, my post isn't about the lump of coal that I traded for a tea cozy I received at xmas, nor the amazing time I spent with my family - it's about the most recent episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'  that I watched.

Is that wrong? I think so. Horribly wrong. So wrong, I feel extremely guilty writing this post. A lot happened over the holidays - I bonded with my nephews, I became an expert at Wii Tennis, I acquired two issues of SkyMall, Kim got engaged,  but I can't stop watching the 'Rock, Flag and Eagle' clip. Can you?

If you have yet to experience my favorite comedic performance (above) to it's fullest, or haven't seen It's Always Sunny yet, please do. I need to revisit my top 5 comedies and put this show on the list, for sure.

Happy New Year and a great 2009. I'm off to Aruba! For the next week I'll be laying on a beach and playing at a casino. Peace.

I think I love Wisconsin more than Skymall.

I really do. Every part of our trip to Wisconsin I enjoyed immensely; fishing with Doug and his father on a 15,000 acre lake in the north woods, having absolutely scrumptious meals cooked by his mother everyday, seeing good friends in Madison (my first visit to Madison) and celebrating at Mike and Becky's wedding. 

Oh, and not to mention The Terrace. I loved the University of Delaware and wouldn't trade my college days for anything. However, I have to admit, this is slightly better than the Deer Park Tavern (although the history is amazing) or The East End. Madison is a good place. Here's a pic of Doug on the Terrace overlooking Lake Mendota:

Check out some pics of the Turtle Flambeau Flowage (the lake where Doug's parent's cabin is), Madison, friends, the wedding and various other fun stuff.

Okay - so I don't really want to 'be in New Jersey', but I wouldn't mind it this weekend. My nephews and my dad are out on the east coast tooling around town in a convertible having ice cream. Now, that's the life.

My sister is graduating from nursing school this weekend. I have no idea how she did it, with a family - and included within that family are twins, no less! But, she did. I wish I could be out there celebrating her accomplishments, as well.

Erika - I hope that you have a fabulous weekend and know how proud all of us are of you!

By the way - my sis needs to uproot her family and move here, soon - those little boys are getting Jersey accents, I swear to it. Just check out this pic from the younger years. Tell me you don't hear a Jersey accent.

All play and no work makes for a very boring blog post. This past weekend and the past two days have been a lot of fun, but I'm too tired to post anything of significance. Plus - the Wings/Avs game is on and I must focus my attention elsewhere.

However, I had a kick ass Saturday, going to Henry's party (our nephew's first bday) and then hosting a bridal shower for an amazing friend, Shira. I have many stories about the shower and the fabulous karaoke songs we did later on in the evening, but I'll save that for another time. Let's just say it involved me strolling onto the dance floor trying to woo the crowd and Natalie rockin the blow up guitar. Oh - and Shira begging the KJ and bartender to let us sing another song - in which they [happily] agreed and allowed an entourage of people on stage as an encore.

Last night, we all (meaning Room 214 - except JU b/c you're stuck in SB) went to see The Raconteurs at The Fillmore. Great time - great show, although I'm soon realizing that I'm a critic and self-proclaimed Phish snob. I'm working on it, though - I'm happy to be expanding my musical experiences and love our company outings.

Okay - it's now 2-1 (Wohoo Go Wings), must watch hockey. Here's a pic of the guys from work: James, Ben, Jason and Stepan (blog coming soon).
