I would like to congratulate Jessica on a truly amazing feat--being married to a Mastandrea and having a child that resembles her instead of the Mastandreas. Ellexa is a beautiful little girl and looks amazingly like Jessica.

I am so excited about the new house. I'm waiting for John to get in tonight so we can all go over together for the first time. I have many decorating ideas in mind--unfortunately I think they will have to stay there for a while.

I was so sorry and jealous to have missed the Mastandrea get together in Spumoni South. It sounds like it was awesome. We did not have nearly as much fun here. Although we did see monster trucks again and go on the arena floor. We were waiting in line by the Manson family. This was exactly the type of crowd I expected for monster trucks.

We did go to the Science museum too and the boys were quite intrigued. Many gadgets to play with, and a truly disgusting display about body odor where you sniffed and had to guess what body odor it was. One choice was labeled anus and man it was...The boys liked being poop on the giant stomach playground.

I have had several truly insane conversations recently. I was checking out at the super market and the cashier (a 40 something guy) asked if I wanted to donate $ 1 for the hunger campaign. I said sure and it launched this man into a nutso tirade about how this wouldnt help people and what they needed was jobs. I said it wouldnt do much good if they were all starved when the jobs did show up. He then proceeded to tell me what trouble we were gonna be in when the UN took control of the country....YIKES--kooks are attracted to me.

Scarier still was at work when a bunch of guys (who seemed to be normal enough) were discussing the Great Lakes Consortium. This a group of states that surround the great lakes and are unifying to make sure water rights aren't being sold to other states for fresh water. This wasnt kooky but then they started to discuss how it would put Ohio in a great position when the inevitable civil war for fresh water occurred...

Well the boys are being horrid cuz they know I am occupied so I'll sign off for now. Glad to hear everyone had a good time. I'm still jealous....
