Apologies to Thelma

Posted by logan on February 28th, 2008

Me: “Oh, she’s singing ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ by Thelma Houston. I love this song!”
Pause.
Me: “She’s not doing incredibly well.”
Liz: “This isn’t the easiest song to sing.”
Me: “I could do it.”
Liz rolls eyes.
Me: “I think I’ll do it at karaoke. What do you think?”
Liz: “I think it’d be good.”
Me: “I can do the riff.”
Liz: […]

Core economics

Posted by logan on February 27th, 2008

The founding father of my company actually formed his namesake agency during the Great Depression. To do so, he borrowed $50,000 from his life insurance, and mortgaged his home. His doubters said that he’d end up selling apples on the street because his agency would fail. His reply was “the hell I will, I’ll give […]

Apartment 505: Unplugged

Posted by liz on February 24th, 2008

You gotta love an apartment so tiny cozy that you can sweep the entire space without unplugging the vacuum even once! And I’ve found that it doesn’t matter which outlet you plug it into, it’s still effective -whether it be the outlet by the front door, the “master bedroom” (term used VERY loosely), or […]

And I quote

Posted by logan on February 24th, 2008

Ever since Jacqui pointed out the Blog of Unnecessary Quotations to me a while back, I’ve shared many laughs at the expense of others. I have secretly hoped to encounter my very own unnecessary quotes, so that I can capture the errors and send them in. And my wish came true when we were back […]

Just don’t make ‘em like they used to

Posted by logan on February 21st, 2008

Per the usual holiday standard, Liz was showered with gifts from her school children for Valentine’s Day. Which was a huge score for me. Skittles. Necco Conversation Hearts. Liz also received a few of the classic student-to-teacher gift of the Whitman’s chocolate sampler, showcasing Snoopy and other Peanuts on the outside of the little heart-shaped […]

Buchanan Family Christmas Eve

Posted by liz on February 20th, 2008

Okay, so I know this post is a little late, but I feel that you’ll have a better understanding of why I’m like I am, if you meet some of my family. First, let’s start off with my godmother, Aunt Nancy.

It all started a few years back when she had this great drink we “just […]

Got Goo?

Posted by liz on February 19th, 2008

Meet my new educational hero, Lisa Murphy, fondly dubbed the “Ooey Gooey Lady.”

Fan. Tas. Tic. That’s all I can say. She is an amazing presenter, and I would imagine, and even more amazing educator. She has such an incredible amount of knowledge and passion for true early childhood education. Love her! […]

Chi for Hillary
