When Dean wears his spit rag on his head he looks like the flying nun

It's fun to do goofy things to your baby. :)

Today, Mr. Dean got to meet Meredith and Dave who are in from Alabama! Meredith and I met in 1999 when I was a grad student and she was a senior at Univ. of Alabama. We both frequented the computer lab at the same time each day and became instant friends. They live about two hours from Montevallo, so we'll be seeing a lot more of them very soon! Dave says he doesn't look at cameras any more, hence the, um, we'll call it "artistic" shot of him to your left. We had a great visit with them at their hotel today. Meredith and I confided in each other about our addiction to blogs and Dave got all excited that he and Marcus play the same online game. We started planning a trip to the beach for after we move. It's going to be great having them play a bigger part in our lives now. (Plus if they have a baybay, he/she and Dean can hang out all the time!!!)

I am currently watching The Jacksons: An American Dream on VH1. It's one of those horrible rockumentaries they made in the early 90s. I can't not watch it when it comes on tv. It's like a horrible addiction. The best part is when Joseph goes ballistic, yelling "Who left the towel in the swimmin' pool??????" Oh, good times.

Poor, poor Marcus has a cold. You should know that Marcus does not do well on drugs of any kind. Even too much Advil makes him kind of goofy. If he takes a Benadryl, he's out for days. So the fact that he's been taking DayQuil every four hours for the past two days has been a constant source of amusement and entertainment for me. Yesterday I tripped over our living room rug, which I do a lot, but this time I was able to convince him that he'd imagined the whole thing. HAHA!

Now if you'll pardon me, little Michael is about to sing "I Got The Feelin'" and I think Marcus is going to sing along.
