It's only a small crack in her pelvis..............

Yes, we have entered offical dorkdom. We hosted season premiere party for The Office last night. I dressed as prison Mike, and tried my best to get Audri to dress as Jan, but good decision making prevailed and she simply came as Diversity Day. Anyways, you can see that we had a great time goofing off and watching The Office.

OH WOW- there is a National Scrabbel Championship on ESPN, and the compeititors are like 9 years old. This is so odd, If there would have been a Candyland competition I would have ruled that thing, heck even Battleship. The best is that this one kid has on a leather Pirates of the Caribbean hat, it cleary does not fit him, but that did not deter him from wearing it. They are doing parent interviews now, I am still watching it. I clealy am not smart because I have never heard/ seen one of these works used before.

POKY-adj. pok·i·er, pok·i·est
Informal
1. Dawdling; slow: waited for the poky sales clerk to ring up the sale.
2. Frumpish; shabby: found poky old clothes at the thrift store.
3. Small and cramped: a poky but inexpensive apartment.

So there ya go, a Scrabble competition.

Yesterday, I finished reading PONTOON by Garrison Keillor, he is an absolutely brilliant author- who makes small town living and midwestern values relevant in a time where FOX news obsesses over celebrity, and scandal. Keillors abilty to tell a story is comforting, and makes thin

UHHHH- this one team just used all their letters to spell REUNITED, and the parents went nuts, they were jumping up down, high fiving, it was awesome. The Tucker Community Center Kids looked like Jeter at the plate down by 2 with baseloaded and 2 outs in the ninth. These kids are locked in.

back to PONTOON.

HIs stories make you feel safe, and that all is ok (not right, but ok) with the world. A great read, but only recommend it if you are a Garrison Keillor/ Praire Home Companion Fan- otherwise, it is not nearly as interesting.

SIster-In-Law Marcie is in town this weekend with Zach, so I'm sure something exciting will happen this weekend.

Finally, Lulu showed up late to the party because she had class, but she watched The Office with Audri and I and we got this picture of her before she left.

smiles for sad faces

As Audri said- Monday was a bit on the rough side. A loss for both the Saints and Yankees. Good news though...... Monday was the last home game for the Yanks so that meant Rookie hazing



Apparently Joba Chamberlain walked through the crowd asking for fans to PUT'EM UP, PUT'EM UP.


What I really want to achieve with this post is, I want to find out one of life's most perplexing questions.

Electric Toothbrush or WaterPik?

No combo answers either. I own both but only appreciate the cleaning abilities of one. Your input is greatly desired.

That will be all for now- Pictures from the Office Party on Thursday coming soon.

I am so sad...

I can't believe the Saints are doing this to us AGAIN! This is very upsetting. We left early from work to get to New Orleans for Monday Night Football yesterday and it was a very rainy day.

So we were all smiles until we realized that the Saints had so quickly forgotten what it was like to win.

Anyway, it was a disappointing ride home last night. We are all trying not to lose hope for the rest of the year.

Weekend Update

We did some baby shopping on Friday and Saturday. Lala (Mrs.Lucy) bought Darcy a crib and some blankets that are amazingly soft. Audri has hid them from me so that I don't sleep with them. Then on Satuday Audri and I went to my brothers baseball game- he is 10 and played a good game. His team lost, and their coach lectured them for about 15 minutes, then we got to go eat. Then we hit up Baby and Me. They had strollers and we tested strollers. We found a stroller/ carseat/ helicopter. This thing is incrediblely cool and very fashionable. Which is great because Audri is not into bunnies or fairies (even though I am).

Ok I just saw the most digusting mouth commercial. I am still throwing up. I think it is ORAL B and it is the lady going to sleep
next shot, an illustrated inside of a mouth with the grosses looking worms/ bacteria floating around. Then she wakes up and brushes her teethe with, You guessed it, AN ORAL B electric tooth device.
brb.................................................................................................................................................................................................................. had to go brush my teeth again. ugh.

I have deceided that today is going to be an big fat - on the productivity side today. The Yankees play @ noon, last home game of the regular season, and a memorial to Phil " Scooter" Rizutto "HOLY COW". A win today will bring the Yanks within 1 with 6 left. Watch out Boston the SKY IS FALLING. Then at 2 we are going to New Orleans with Ali and Johnathon to prepare for the Saints home opener. We will be walking the streets of The Big Easy, eating, dancing (probably not really) as we get ready to see Drew Bree's and the Saints take on Vince Young and the Titans. Look for me on ESPN, I will be the guy trying to give Kornheiser wet willies all night. So productivity is down in Neylandland today.

Teen Mania's Minstry team just left to make their way to Amherst, Mass, my sister is one the ministry team and is one of the actors in the BEMA. Audri and I will be going to Birmingham to see her in October. Lulu, is also in the drama, but her role is video taped, and she is the fantasy of the lead character in the play.

Watch Baseball this week PEOPLE- 2007 has been the best Baseball season in a long time and the playoff teams are not yet determined.


OH I almost forgot- Thursday night our place for THE OFFICE season 4 opener- RIP Grey's Anatomy- Your Lame- And Boring- And Trite- And I'm just so glad that i will not have to watch that show.


Remember to look for me and my pal tony kornheiser tonight,

Zopity.

spider picture

here is Lulu's spider on fire.

the week so far.....

As Audri has previously noted, the ultrasound on Monday revealed that we are in fact having a girl, and we think we want to name her Darcy Elizabeth (Dereka, Anne-Cano, and Posadette were all rejected). Audri is now at about 20 weeks, so we are half way there and Audri has done a great job.

Last night we went to Audri's parents to have dinner and look at a baby bed that they had and while we were there we got to pull one over on Lulu. There are pictures but not on my camera so I'll draw it out. Lulu hates spiders and her neighbor brought over a rubber spider and we put it in Lulu's purse, when she reached for some gum- she jumped a mile high, and said that she was left seeing stars. All this led to us having to burn the spider, here are some images.

ok well I get some images up, once I figure out how to do it.

2.5- no not the number of kids it takes to have a model American dream family- but the Sox lead of the Yanks. 1978 is feeling incredibly close. I love baseball.

Monday we are going to the Saints first home game against the Titans- it is about time the Saints get the train on the track and I think their homecoming will be the encouragment they need.

No book updates, too much baseball and baby research- I so wish fity cent would have retired- but why should i have expected fity to keep his word.

Ok i am off to figure how to place the picture of the burning spider on this post.

quick update

I had another ultra sound Monday and we are going to have a girl. The dr. said everything looks great.

Lord Beer Me Strength

As of right now, I just wanted to write that (LORD BEER ME STRENGTH) on a blog and have nothing else to say. Well maybe i do, OJ did it again, no he didn't kill 2 people this time, but he found away to become relevant once again. In the past i've bought books that did not feel like i would enjoy much but thought it would be good to read, however i don't feel that way about IF I DID IT- by the juice. What a sick idiot, seems pretty odd that the book was released just yesterday and now OJ is scavaging through hotel rooms for his old memrobilia.

Oh and tomorrow- Yanks Vs. Sox + Wang Vs. Beckett = CY YOUNG WINNER. I hope this is a great game, it has the promise of one, the winner pitching is almost assured the Cy Young award and I hope so that it is Wang, he is great pitcher and he is a yankee.


have a great weekend

Nice night...

So if you didnt notice the last post was from Corey. I told him his blog posts were always more interesting than mine so he had to help me spice my blogspot up. So look for future posts for Corey. I am going to bed now, it is way past my bed time.

Gypsy Bloggers

Ok, so i was just informed that i am now blogging with my wife here @ blogspot (sounds funny when ya write it out), which i am ok with. All of these internet communities are so freaking confusing, i feel like i've left dirty socks in everyroom of my house. Anyways- in the real world. Like Audri said we find out what type of kid we are having on Monday, which is great because then i can order the pink or blue yankee hat for the silly little baby. I have been reading a lot lately, too much because i can't sleep at night- my last three reads and my opinions on them.

1. Myth Of A Christian Nation- Dr. Greg Boyd. While the book has stirred a lot of controversy about Boyd's political beliefs, the thrust of the book is about Christians and how we are called to live in the Kingdom of God. I absolutely loved this book, it reminded me that while the world around us is confusing and often frustrating the Kingdom of God is beautiful. The main question Boyd ask is " what are you willing to bleed for?". It really caused me to think a lot, and I so happy about life (minus the internet community hopping) and all that Audri and I have going on.

2. Survior- Chuck Palahunik. A very odd and cynical take on American culture, it was a great read and i was completly enthralled by the absurdity, which rings true today. Palahunik is the guy who wrote Fight Club- i've never seen it, and wouldn't be opposed to it, just don't spend a lot of time watching movies. This book would be rated R, so if is something your opposed to, then ignore my review.

3. The Road- Cormac McCarthy. First of all how cool is the name Cormac McCarthy- exactly. i've wanted to read this one for awhile and finished it in about 4 hours. it is about a man and his son in a post-apocolyptic era as the make they way down a road. McCarthy's vocabulary is tremendous and it helps turn a horrifying plot into a beautiful story of love between a father and son who find hope in their love for one another. i really enjoyed everything about this book.

Today i picked up Pontoon by Garrison Keillor, and that'll be a good read, and i'm almost done with Searching For God Knows What by Donald Miller, so i'll let ya know how it goes for you's that haven't read it yet.


In sports- Bill Bellicheat- i hope the NFL makes the patriots forfeit the game against the Jets. Then maybe ESPN or as i call it Crap TV will have Tom Brady on to discuss the ethics of fathering child out of wedloc.... I mean stealing signs from the opposing team.

Rick Ankiel- Yes he was perscribed HGH by his doctor and so get off his back.

The Yankees- 4 game lead in the wildcard- and this weekend reaks of comeback against the choweda eating sox. At least i hope.

that is all for now, until we start blogging on thoughts.com.


goodnight
Corey

I am new here...

Blogger looks "neat" compared to xanga. So I am going to give it a go. And I am not really an expert at xanga so if I am going to learn something new, I should do it before I get too attached (to xanga).

Next week I am going in for my ultrasound...very exciting. Hopefully we will be able to see what this baby is. Right now, it is referred to as "silly little baby"- named by my sister Lulu. She says she will continue calling it that until it becomes a "silly little toddler".

When more news is available I will let you know!
