Pillows

My brother Bryan is freakin' hilarious! As he was getting ready to leave our parents house last night I walked over to give him a hug. He had his arms crossed over his chest and rather than uncrossing them he lifted them up and put them over my head for a tight squeeze. He then proceeded to explain that he doesn't usually give full front hugs because he is so tall (6'6") and girls heads end up resting right in his "clevage" or "pillows." He gave me another big hug to demonstrate the problem but this time, for added enjoyment, he made the pillows dance. Thanks for the hug Bryan!
Just in case you were wondering what his pillows looked like;)

They say nice things too:)

My little delinquents are a constant source of...well...you name it, stress, annoyance, entertainment, joy. They are often brutally honest and that can turn out to be cruel or complimentary. If it is complimentary I usually suspect some ulterior motive but sometimes they are just cute.

On Friday one of our therapists was casting out demons by burning sage, (I know, weird right?) and it smelled a little like pot. One of the kids pointed this out saying, "man yo, someone up in here smells like weed!"

To which one sweet 14 year old patient responded, "It's not Hilary, she smells like flowers." Thanks kiddo, and thanks Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom.



I'm not gonna lie, it made my day!

Ode to the hair!

Check out that goal keeper! He had to cut that crazy awesome hair last night because the basketball coach wont let him play if it is long. We will all miss it. Nice save Keegan!

Change...YES WE CAN!!!

I VOTED!

Letter to the red states

Dear Red States:


If you manage to steal this election too we've decided we're leaving.

We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue

States with us. That includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington,

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We

believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially

to the people of the new country of New California.



To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of

Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get

WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85% of

America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get

two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay

their fair share.



Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian

Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of

single moms.



Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and

anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at

once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have

kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no

purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their

children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and

hope that the WMDs do turn up, but we're not willing to spend our

resources in Bush's Quagmire.



With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the

country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce,

92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90%

of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and

soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living

redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools

plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.



With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with

88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs),

92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the

hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all

televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the

University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.



38% of those in the Red states believe the earth is only 6,000 years

old and Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale; 62% believe life is

sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun

laws; 44% say that evolution is only a theory; 53% that Saddam was

involved in 9/11, and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are

people with higher morals than us lefties.



Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed

they grow in Mexico.



Peace out,





--the Blue States
