this guy is cooler than YOUR sister's husband

How awesome is my brother-in-law?

In response to my post about feeling "overexposed" on Thanksgiving, he left this gem for me:


Amber's Bro-in-Law said...



Let me first start off by saying that I do enjoy reading Amber's blogs, but not with the intent that most family members have. You see, Amber and I... We just get each other; maybe it's that we both understand living with her sister (my wife), or something else, but we get along well.


I think that she is a brilliant writer who speaks from the heart no matter what the topic is. I also really enjoy the strikeouts!


So whether she is writing for personal reasons, emotional reasons, or because she sees it as a place to vent, that is not for me to judge... No permanent lurkers here... I prefer the term - follower :)


To Amber: Feel free to write away, because whether this is a secret or not, I'll read with a zipped lip and will always look forward to TMI Thursdays :)


By the way... if you need help with your gutters, you have my number :)

Clearly, he deserved a shout out for that. Also, if you are in need of a videographer, please visit his website, http://www.somethingblueweddingvideos.com/, where you can see photos and video of me, which I know I have mentioned before. But I do not apologize, because I never grow tired of watching the highlights of my rooftop wedding, and I don't think you would tire of it either.

LOL @ "maybe it's that we both understand living with her sister (my wife)"

That's the type of relationship I have with my brother in law!

Awesome!
I am so mad. I just replied to everyone's comments and closed the browser before I realized that there was a problem processing my request and I needed to try again.

(I am not re-typing all of that.)

So, in short, thanks for stopping by go out to Trav, Tina, Roni, Stacey, Carissa, JM, and Megan Rebekah.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
