Me: They really should be up here.

Him: Well, you still have a kid hanging off of them.

Time Flies

So…it got into a little trouble with my last blog post where I noted that I got married in September. Well, I got married in March. Thanks to my loving, forgiving, patient husband, Pancho McBoog, for correcting me in his comments.

Smooches.

Missing Margot and the Magical Weekend

KK — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:25:55 +0000

Last weekend was filled with surprises…

1. I can wake board. I tried it for the first time and had a blast. Now I can’t pull on pants because my arms are so sore…but it was worth it.

2. I enjoy bike riding. I bought a bike for the first time in maybe 22 years so I can start riding it. It’s purple and beautiful and fun. Now I can’t sit down comfortably because my butt is so sore…but it was worth it.

3. Margot lives around the corner. She went missing during the wedding in September and I have feared the worst ever since. But on my debut bike ride around the block on Saturday, I discovered her living just a few houses down from us. Apparently, she loves the neighborhood…just not our yard.

Monday morning, my car wouldn’t start just as someone arrived at our house to do some work…got a jump in the nick of time.

Today, Townes dog has an infected sore and the vet can fit him in just 15 minutes from now…

It’s been a weird few days, but I’m grateful for new experiences and the re-discovery of Margot.

Save the nation. Save ourselves.

My favorite TV show is back on – Heroes. As much as I love watching it with Pancho on Monday evenings, my soul is troubled with the state of our great nation.

We need some real life heroes to step up and get us on a path to a brighter future. Everyday heroes, like you and the kid who hands you your cup o’ joe each day and the girl who serves your chilaquiles just like you like ‘em – with sour cream and extra sauce.

“We must be the change we wish to see in the world,” one of my top heroes once said.

Please register to vote.

And then educate yourself on the issues that are important to you and how the candidates stack up.

Hello, my name is Strike Chipper

I won’t name the candidate, since I am refusing to give any free airtime from the ad medium that is my mouth (or keyboard, in this case)…but I came across a great Anne Lamott article in Salon that drove me to a ‘She who will not be named’ Baby Name Generator.

Interestingly enough, my husband and I would both be named the same: Strike Chipper.

“Bring Your Spouse To Work” Day

KK — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:51:53 +0000

My husband is sweet. He’s got me set up in a conference room at his office where I can work all day before we take off for Fort Worth this afternoon.

You see, I don’t like to drive…so he went along with this ridiculous plan so I wouldn’t have to drive all over the city today.

He loves me.

Paparazzi

A photo I took of Doug Jones at the Hellboy II event last month is now on his official website. Which is super cool. But it does beg the question…am I considered paparazzi now?

Love in the Marfa Lights

KK — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 23:26:53 +0000

This weekend I’m getting some much needed time away from the office…and even more needed quality time with my husband.

Twelve hours in the car. Fifteen degrees cooler temperatures. The alien lights of Marfa.

What more could a girl want?

Wiilympics

KK — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:52:41 +0000

I can’t wait for our Wiilympics party tomorrow. Three Wiis…a tv and two projectors…Bacardi Mojito as a sponsor…and the real Olympics broadcasting on a non-Wii tv. We are going to have a blast.

Thank you Nintendo for creating Olympic sports for the Wii. And thank you Bacardi for sponsoring our party with bartenders and booze.

Game on.
