Meerkats!

Meerkats are all the rage this season. Here's Katie and mom looking lovely and buck-toothed.

Larry and mom are the love-bird meerkats.

Mike makes the cutest (and tallest) meerkat of all. He is good at watching for signs of danger.

And here are a few meerkat poseurs. Losers.

Peacock Lane

The fam strolled down to Peacock Lane to witness all of the bright and glaring xmas splendor that makes this street famous. Keety loved watching the ridiculous moving lawn decorations and lights. Grandma Banana loved watching Keety.

Happy Birthday, sisters!

Natalie turned 23 on Dec.17th. She got a carrot cake. Lachelle apparently turned one on Nov. 28th. She got a belated chocolate flan cake. Oh joy!

Damn straight.

Cash Advance Loans

Happy holidays!

During this holiday season, make sure you don't lose sight of the true meaning of christmas: your love for others is measured in how much money you spend and how much meaningless shit you buy them.

Also, If you ever find yourself feeling depressed this time of year, just follow baby Jesus' example and smile! At least you are not an aborted fetus.

Beans and Blisters

Mike (boyfriend-slave) developed a pretty nasty running-related blister this week. Dr. Katie came to the rescue, safety pin in hand. We all enjoyed watching the liquidy-lymph ooze out of the punctured blister. So satisfying.


After playing with Mike's nasty feet, we made enough nachos to feed all the starving children in the world out of Natalie's world-famous black bean dip. Katie and Mike ate their fair share of the nachos, while Natalie boxed up her portion and sent them to some hungry Nicaraguan children. Muchos gracias, senorata!

Mom's Job

Mom has a new job teaching 6th grade ELL math. That's English Language Learners, in case you didn't know. Here's the paper from one student. He's eleven and just new to the U.S. from Mexico. He speaks no English. Maybe he's never learned to write, either. What's with the backwards spelling here? Mom needs H-E-L-P ! To volunteer in her classroom helping to get this student (and 49 others just like him) up to speed so he can pass the federal No Child Left Behind tests, please post a comment with your name and phone number. She'll be in touch.

See Katie eat. See Katie run.

Which sister do you think ate this?

Mom and her amazingly great boyfriend, Larry, came to my track meet last weekend. They enjoyed all the track events.



But mostly, they enjoyed watching me run.



Mom's so proud of me!
