Is it possible to still be friends with someone even after their child has got into your kitty litter box and eaten sand. Yes, we're sure it was just sand, as we had recently cleaned it out and I know there was only "one mess" in the, and it was still there. Still... I don't know if I can ever invite her over again....

Skype Suggestions Please

So, Hayley and I are going to be apart for a little while, and for the first time ever, this summer (the separation requires surgery that will be performed just after Mike's wedding). We are planning on Skyping frequently, but we wanted to find ways to use Skype to interact in a more meaningful way. Here is my current short-list:

• Play Yahtzee
• Play Monopoly
• Read to each other

I am hoping that the convergence of our slightly above average brains will create one almost frighteningly super-genius brain that can come up with a comprehensive list of Skype entertainment. Let me know what you think!

Mom always did like to try new things

Gongrats Esquire Bean

Pretend I am watching the ceremony with Mom and Dad tomorrow yelling YEA GREG!!! when your receive your diploma (if that's what you call it). My little heart is bursting with joy for you. You have been so successful your whole life and now you are reaping the rewards. Way to go. I have saved this song for so many years for the perfect event and now I get to share it. You should recognize it. It's your own masterpiece. I have more if you want. I am tearing up at your accomplishments and I am proud to call you brother. And as for Hayley, well lets just say you go girl. Being a wife of a student is just as hard as being one yourself. He couldn't have done it without you.

Cracks me Up....and reminds me of the boys

I like to look at Craigs List- it's like garage sales from my computer. Today I ran across the following post:

I had to read all the way through it, just because he made me laugh so hard! I could truly imagine any of my brothers writing this- and I want to bake the guy some cookies just for making my day.

Just discovering Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. I can't believe it took this long.

For Your Eyes Only

I joined live traffic feed today so I could keep track of my visitors on my blog. Anyone else on live traffic feed who's blog I visit can look at their feed and connect to my blog from there. Also, I went into real time traffic feed on the Bean Blog and found that some one from Chicago had just visited and found our family site by googling full arm cast. They now can connect to my site from there. I also have found several other unnamed readers peeking at my family. I normally wouldn't care but, for some reason I am unsettled about it all. Time to go private. Sorry for the inconvenience. When you try to connect, it will have you send me and e-mail and from there I can give you permission. Love you guys and still want you to read and post on my blog or there would be no reason for me to do it at all. Just a waste of my time.
