I really do love the Weighty Matters blog, did anyone else watch Biggest Loser? First female winner for the show, which was a theme throughout this year, the women really pushing for a woman to win. Men have dominated the show since it started.

I did! That was so great!!! And I was psyched that Bernie won the other prize.

Happy Birthday ND!

Iron Man was my favorite comic book character back in the day.

Last night Leif decided, with encouragement from his sister, that trying to throw a large rock over the car would be a good idea. We're replacing the windshield today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh, I missed who won the other prize. Bernie was the guy who got matched with his partner in ep 1? I really love TBL. I loved the Brita sponsorship this year focusing on plastic water bottle waste, and I have ridic love for Bob - but the product placement this year was a bit much, right?

Any other big sisters out there kind of feeling the urge to give Emaryn an "atta girl"? Just me?

Which is not to say that I don't feel for Gud, but it's nice to see her taking advantage of the perks of the job.

Emaryn is definitely learning the art of baiting her brother into getting in trouble.

I think you need to channel his energies in a useful apprenticeship - say building demolition.

It was insane! Fortunately, I watch on a delay so I can fast forward through a lot of that. I was usually able to watch the whole 2-hour episodes in, like, 40 minutes.

I liked Bob for getting those big guys to do yoga but I hated how he was so pro the Boy's Club.

Happy Birthday to my sweetie!

Also, and completely unrelatedly, does anyone here speak Arabic, or have otherwise an opinion on the best way to go about acquiring a smattering? I'm going to email Fay as well.
My friend J. spent his first two years in the US Army learning Arabic and then the rest of his time as a translator. I can put you in touch with him if you'd like? He's a great guy.

Oh...oh dear. Gud, that sucks, but I'm kind of giggling. I'm sorry, it's just...oh dear.
