As anyone who spends any time with Brian knows, he loves the phrase “oh, for crying out loud.” We all joke about it. A week or two ago, Ashley responded to something someone said by saying “son of a biscuit eater.” A few days later, I saw this Orbit Gum ad on tv and thought that’s where Ashley got it from. We watched in on you tube and were all cracking up laughing. We’ve been saying the phrases ever since. My favorite obviously is “what the french toast?”
Check it out, hopefully it’ll give you a good laugh: CLICK HERE
Found the script for it too, since some are hard to understand:
You son of a biscuit eating bulldog!
What the french toast?
You think I wouldn’t find out about your little doo doo head cootie queen?!
Who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker!
Pickle you kumquat!!
You’re overreacting!
No Bill, overreacting was when I took your convertible into a wood chipper stinky mcstink face!
Oh, you hoboken

So the other night I went to return a DVD to the $1 per day DVD kiosk and it was out of order. I called their 800 # and the person on the end I guess remotely rebooted the machine. I watched as XP pro booted into windows and of course…its a PC, I couldn’t just leave it alone! Clicking the photos below will bring you to the gallery with larger images. the photos were taken on my cell phone (thanks dmoney!) so they aren’t the greatest, but still not bad for a cell phone!
onscreen keyboard i pulled up before the DVD store software started to run.
The start menu pulled up by pressing ctrl+esc (windows button seemed to be disabled)
How about some pinball??
Kiosk software pushed down on the screen showing the terminal program running in the background.

For New Years, Paul and I hung out with Brian and Ashley. We went to dinner then went back to their house and played games through the ball drop (I know, I know, we’re a bunch of party animals!). Anyway, my mom bought the new “credit card” Monopoly game, so we decided to tried it out. We set it up, and didn’t even get two rounds finished before we quit. There’s just something wrong with not having money, not hassling the banker, not talking barely at all during the game, etc. Oh well. Interesting idea, would work well if you were trying to play while you had other distractions around you like a movie playing, but overall, we’ll pass and stick to the old school way of playing. Guess you can’t get away from what you grew up with!

So we’ve got less than 10 weeks to go until Little Sean is due! We thought we’d start people’s brain juices about betting on a due date.
We made a calendar that we can post everyone’s guesses on. To get your guess on the calendar, post a comment which includes the date you think he’ll be born along with the time.
We will think about a cool prize for the winner…
Click here to see the calendar. We’ll be updating it whenever someone makes a guess.
We’ll probably do weekly reminder posts for the calendar as well, along with our post of the weekly picture. Speaking of, the 30-week picture is up. Click here to see it.

I know I know, I should have posted this a few days ago, but I’ve been sick! 🙂
Like I mentioned earlier, Emily and I made the trek to St. Louis to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. Sean was also in town from Seattle. Wednesday night, my sister Megan and I stayed up sharing a bottle of Chateau Ste. Michelle cabernet and talking until 3:30am (430 my time!). We rarely get to do that, so it was very cool. Thursday was Turkey Day! Man I love thanksgiving…I think we should have it at least twice a year! Although, I’m sure there are a number of turkeys out there who disagree with me. Mom cooked and awesome meal for us and Emily made the famous Marshall Rolls. Aunt Karen, Uncle Ted, and Scott made it down from west St. Louis as well and it was really nice seeing them.
Sean, Manders (friend of ours and Megan’s from high school), and myself then made our trip to the movie theatre to catch our annual bad-movie-on-turkey-day which started back in the day with my selection of “Paycheck” starring Matt Damon. Sean’s selection this year was Hitman. HOO BOY was it rotten. We got to the theatre about 15 or 20 minutes late so we missed the beginning of the movie ( **cue Office Space “I wouldn’t say I was missing it, Bob…” ***). The acting was lousy, the female character in the movie probably only got the role cause she showed her boobs. What can you expect from a movie produced by Vin Diesel? But I digress…
The rest of the week was pretty uneventful – we went out to an irish pub in Belleville, IL that was nice, hung out at a local bar in O’Fallon, had an awesome hamburger at Denny’s (eggs and hashbrowns on a burger! YUM!), and hung around the house. Saturday we did a family trip to Pierre Marquette State Park to lunch on their lodge’s famous fried chicken and take some family photos.
While we were home for thanksgiving Mom and Dad presented us with some new gifts for Little Sean. As we’ve mentioned before, my dad is *very* handy in wood working. When Sean and I were born, he made us a cradle that was also used for my sister when she was born. Well, now we have a cradle of our own:
Paul’s mom has also recently dusted off her knitting needles and made a fun little hat for Little Sean:
Can’t wait to have him try them both out (only three more months to go!!). Here are some highlight photos from the trip:

My parents – dad looks great! (mom too!)
I’ll post some more from my dad’s set of photos after I process the huge DSLR snapshots from his Nikon D80 🙂

Emily and I took a trip to St. Louis for Thanksgiving this year. My sister and brother were both in town as well. I didn’t bring a heavy enough jacket with me and now I’m fighting a nasty cold….so now I am going to bed and I will post photos and a run-down of turkey day at a time in the very near future.

Last Thursday night, my mom, Ashley, her friend Erin and I went to Riverbend to see Toby Keith. I haven’t really listened to country since I was younger, but we had front row seats (first real row behind the pit) so I was IN! I didn’t know many songs, but he did play some old ones so that was great. We were really really close, got to see his sweat and nipples 🙂 Check out pictures by clicking here. They are on Ashley’s webpage…she just posted them so I decided to post about it too.

Quite a bit actually. Last weekend I was up in Cleveland for my best friend’s wedding. Congrats to Jason and Cindy! I was best man in the wedding and had a blast. Have you ever been toa wedding where Elvis makes an appearance? I didn’t think so 🙂
The following Monday, I went to the Bengals/Ravens game with Jim. I’ve only been to one other NFL game, and that was last year when I got to sit in Jeff Ruby’s box with Philip. This experience was completely different. In the box seats, it was like sitting in someone’s media room with a huge TV.  In the seats – now that totally makes the game! If I get to go to another one, It’d be fun to do some tailgating before hand. Thanks Jim!
Know anyone needing an SUV? I’m trying to sell the Durango to get into something a little German – an older model GTI or Jetta VR6.ÂÂ
I actually don’t have anything planned this weekend, which is nice. Been a little too busy lately. May be able to get some stuff done around the house and go to Trinity.

For the Labor Day weekend, Paul and I went with our church to Cathedral Domain. The Episcopal Diocese of Lexington have over 800 acres of land near Irvine, KY that has a camp and conference center on it. Each church gets ‘a weekend’ at the Domain, and Labor Day is our church’s weekend. It’s a great time to meet members of the church. It’s not a retreat type weekend, it’s more of a ‘come and hang out and meet some people that you see every week’ type thing. It was great.
We could have stayed in a camp with 12 bunk beds on either side and share a restroom, but since it was our first year going, and we didn’t know that many people, we opted for what people referred to as the “Hilton,” which was more of a dorm-type setup, with a double occupancy room with it’s own bathroom. Quite spiffy for a camp!
We got to the Domain Friday night about 915pm, unloaded, then took a walk around to see what the place was like. We met a few people then headed off to bed. We spent the weekend hanging out with new friends, getting to know people, playing games, eating (a lot), sitting by the pool, having a few drinks (well…Paul anyway) and a lot of laughs. We did some hiking, and caving as well. We are really glad we went. We finally got to put names, and life stories to about 50 people that we’ve seen in church for years but never have gotten to know.
We’re really glad for the experience. We want to feel more a part of the church, especially because we’re bringing our little one into it. Everyone was very excited to hear that we are expecting. There were actually 2 other women that were pregnant at the Domain; one due in February, and one in April, so our little one will have instant friends!

I’ve started having dreams about my pregnancy/babies/children lately. Thought it would be fun to keep track of boy baby / girl baby dreams, especially for those who are adamant about it being one over the other *cough*Ashley*cough* 🙂
Anyway, about a week ago, I had a dream that we had a toddler and called it by a girl name…so that was 1 tick-mark for “girl”
Last night I had a dream about my 20ish week ultrasound, and that we saw ‘boy parts’…so that’s a tick-mark for “boy”
So far, Boy = 1 Girl = 1
We’ll see where this goes 😉
