This is an oldie but a goodie:
Only in America ......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America .......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. Only in America ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America ......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America ......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

EVER WONDER...
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Most of these really make me smile. How true, how true.

WOW- it's been awhile since I've written anything!

Sadly, not too much to report. Everything at Casa de Stevenson is going well. Actually, we celebrate one year in the new house on Saturday. But, since it's also Jeff's mom's wedding day, we're going to roast marshmellows over the fire tonight, a couple of days early.

Gavin is still on his Cars fix. Every day, we come home, he wants to watch the whole movie. Honestly, because he gets really upset if he doesn't see it, we give in and turn it on. I see a few bad habits forming here. It's just tough coming home from working all day and then having to cook dinner and try to relax. I know, I know, "welcome to parenthood." The good thing is, Gavin only watches it for about 10 minutes and then gets up to start playing with his own toy cars.

This weekend is Marge's wedding. We head into it with mixed feelings. On one hand, we're very happy she's found someone, on the other hand, we wish they'd dated a little longer. But, to each his own. The fun part, a lot of Jeff's family is coming into town, so I'm excited to see them. The festivities hit Friday night, so I'll try to remember to post Saturday morning.

Yesterday was the day we needed. We did come back from the wedding weekend a day early. I think it was necessary- we needed some space and to relax a bit before heading back to work.

Jeff, Gavin and I went for a nice, long walk yesterday at the Beach Club. It was nice to be able to let Maggie off her lead and take a brisk walk. The weather is cooling down- I love this time of year! Gavin and Jeff ran around the big field while I took a few power-walk laps. Afterwards, we went home and packed up a picnic lunch. There's a big lake on Emory's campus that you walk about 1/2 mile to get to. We set up a blanket and enjoyed ourselves for a couple of hours. It was very relaxing and much needed!

Tonight was my little brother's wedding. It was such a good party! I'm so proud of him and Lynne! They'll have a wonderful life together!

Now I'm rubbing my feet and ready for bed. Just wanted to touch base before another day passed.

I think we're heading home tomorrow- the bed we're sleeping in is so uncomfortable!!! Ugh, I don't think we've slept since we got here!

Countdown has begun to my brother's wedding. Can I tell you how excited I am??? My little brother, Fuss, is getting married! Married? Ya-married, geesh! (here's a shout out to all you "Sixteen Candles" fans)

We're leaving here Thursday morning to head to Pawleys Island, SC. We're staying in a beach house my dad has rented. I'm excited about everyone that's staying with us too. It'll be fun! I envision nights of wine bottles, joking around and such...ahhh...

The Petit Lemans race starts today at Road Atlanta. My dad is there now. I hope when Gavin gets older, we'll be able to go again. It is a fun time, although, it's a little loud.

Little man gets his hair cut today in time for the wedding. I love it when he gets it cut, he looks like quite the little gentleman. Totally adorable!

Did you watch the VP debate the other night? Regardless of which side you're going to vote on, every time I see Sarah Palin, I can't help but think of the movie "Drop Dead Gorgeous." Darn tootin'!
