Family Poll

I've started a new poll, so that all of the family can vote for whether they think it will be a boy or a girl. The poll is scheduled to end the day of my appointment when I will find out! So get your votes in while you can, and no cheating...........

Baby Lola!

Well, Twinkie, here is a picture of baby Lola! I'm glad you and I are both on the same page, routing for a girl......I still have about 6 weeks before I find out what I'm having. But yeah, I'm 14 weeks along! Hooray!!

Our Dad, the Geeky Paleontologist

Well, guys.....having a totally geeky dad is starting to totally pay off! Congratulations Dad on graduating from a lowly Assistant Professor to an all-worshipped Associate Professor!!!!! That is so exciting! Now you can be as mean to your students as you want and they can't do a thing about it........its every Professors dream. I figured dad would not want to brag about the fascinating resesarch he is doing, so I will do it for him.....

As you all know, he has been involved in some pretty exciting research recently. There is an article on the discovery channel website that outlines his recent publication on flesh and bone eating insects that feed on dinosaur bones! I find it to be quite fascinating. And although we kids used to complain incessently about having to spend our family trips out in the hot desert quarries of Utah digging up dinosaur bones, instead of a normal family vacation to Disneyland, I must say, we are all very proud of our geeky dad! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You can find the article here: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/05/08/dino-flesh-bug.html

P.S. Dad, I attempted to pick a photo of a Camptosaurus from the internet....but I know how displeased you will be if it is not anatomically correct, so if the dinosaur is depicted all wrong, let me know and I will find another...........!

More of Sarah's Idiotic Moments

Well, here are a few conversations that went down yesterday at work:
Lunch Conversation

Coworker: I think Sarah would make a really good cat burglar
Me: Maybe, but what would I do with all the cats?
Coworkers: (laughter erupts..........)
Me: Really, though guys. I don't like cats all that much.
Coworker: Are you being serious?
Me: Yeah, I really don't like cats.

Later in the day.......

Me: Hey guys, come check this out. Some lady wrote on her mail slip that her address is Puerto Rico, USA. What was she thinking? Isn't that hilarious?
Coworker: umm...........not really. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States.
Me: huh? Then why isn't Puerto Rico in the "State Song"......"ALA.....bama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado......." (I proceeded to go through the song through the P's....)
Coworker: speechless

Don't worry guys, I still have my job. And Jason made me vow last night that I would try really hard to restore the integrity of our family name.
