Birthday Recovery

Well, the girls had a great 5th birthday yesterday.  Drake celebrated by biting the fire out of my left bicep leaving me with a nice purple oval there today.  We put “Blue’s Clues” around the house to help them find things we needed for the party.  Karen made some awesome cupcakes and The Collins brought over silly string.  No, the string is not silly, but that is how people start acting when they start shooting that stuff everywhere.  After attempting to clean off the back porch I just decided that silly string was not meant to be cleaned up.

Here are some stories I’m reading today:

1.  Seems Clay Aiken has confirmed something most of us suspected while Lindsey Lohan surprised many with her statement.

2.  Did you hear the news story about Sarah Palin charging rape victims for their own rape kits?  As usual, the media left out some key details.

3.  Yankee fans, here’s how you got to where you are.

4.  Don’t worry, we Red Sox fans will send you a postseason postcard.  Oh wait, what’s that new address again?

5.  I don’t normally agree with CNN’s Roland Martin, but I did like his column on this surprising situation.  I wonder if Wesleyan Publishing House ever did anything like that.  If they did it now, Deb would walk down the hall and deliver a verbal beat down.

6.  Smitty had a great story of God’s providence at Vintage Church on a recent Sunday.

7.  Can I just say that the Heroes season premiere was amazing!  Now, let’s hope a writer’s strike doesn’t cut this season in half like last year.  Does anyone else wish the Maya and Alejandro characters were never introduced?

8.  Survivor starts this Thursday night!  I keep waiting for a good chance to apply again.

9.  I’ve been recording Fringe but haven’t watched it yet.  Anybody got a review of this new show?

10.  Excited about lunch with Mark Tolan today.  Mark was in my youth group in SC and now is a Youth Pastor in Winston-Salem.

Have a amazingly awesome outstanding day.
