I love Dr. Dre....

Did I fall off? Got you in your room rippin every "Chronic" poster on your wall off
Just cause I put away the sawed off
Now I got you sittin back with a smirk;
listenin with your arms crossed
Questionin Dre's credibility {What?}
Wondering if it's still in me to produce hits

same ole same ole....

ah...Tiger Woods!!!, Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!! still kickin tail where he left off a couple of months ago... twins are sick with some sorta stomach something or another... both were throwing up all day.

Goodness

...Ok...so i NEVER watch tennis. But I caught the end of the Australian open a few minutes ago. Kinda had to check out Serena Williams... she put the royal beatdown on Maria Sharapova. I mean...it only took an hour. Sharapova was in tears at the end. Kinda funny... i will repeat. It was a butt whoopin....

oh..uh..yeah..uh...my bad!

so...NOW...they say they made a mistake in the clock. The ACC admits it made a mistake and gave Duke back too much time. of course, i wonder why that wasnt obvious when they actually made the error.... and of course, the results arent changin....

Tigers got screwed over

...last night the Tiger Basketball team got screwed. Clemson guy hits shot and the put far more time on the clock than was warranted. of course Duke goes the length of the floor and scores.... sigh... whatever... motivation for the return game @ Clemson.

Ok...there is a God.

Down go the Patriots...down go the Patriots!!!!....sigh...Thank God. FINALLY...i dont have to hear Tom Brady this and belichick that and hoody this... and dynasty that.

...and it might be more interesting to find out who is NOT running for President by the time this all shakes out....

...took down the picket fence from around the front of the house. Actually, Jessica, Ellen and Nanna took down the fence. And the appliance upgrades continue with Papa putting in a garbage disposal...

...and as an afterthought, above are a couple of classic photo from Brown's visit....

Uncle Erik and Aunt Pam come to town....

Brown always does this for his pix....
They were visiting family and took the time to swing thru Greenville....
Pam was gracious to take time and read to the twins....

MAKE SURE TO RECYCLE!!!!

trash people came real early today. perhaps because of the supposed ICE STORM OF THE CENTURY today. But I noticed that the trash guys hopped off, took all the bags of trash, then proceeded to take the recycle bins of bottles, plastic and cardboard, and toss that stuff in the trash truck too.... makes me wonder why we devote so much space to recyclin when it is going in the trash anyway. Go figure....

things happen so fast

I think that the fact that I see my kids everyday kinda hides the fact that they are growing up so fast. This morning as Ryles dressed i noticed that she took her shirt and smelled it to see if it was dirty. I wondered to myself "no one taught her that...where did she learn that?" or watching I-man rip through a level on Lego Star Wars. I did not even teach him what buttons do what. he figured it out on his own. And he plays with a purpose. not a "big picture" purpose, but he still realizes that things are attacking him, and that he must attack.

Its been 72 degrees here up until last night. Suddenly its a tad bit colder. callin for snow tomorrow morn, although I cant see it being too much.

I threw away the twin's boombox. It was the boombox that virtually played 24 hours a day in their room when they were born for over three years. Finally it started actin strange and now is headin for the street for some random person to come pick it up. Yes, if we put furniture or electronics out by the street, it is gone in abt 5 minutes.... of course, bags of trash might stay there for days, but that another story...

in addition

ok...so I guess a lot of people really didnt post too much over the holidays, so I dont feel that bad that i neglected to post for a couple of weeks....

...clemson basketball seems to be doing well this year. Ok, I probably jinxed it the same way all my other teams seem to have a dark cloud following them....17-0 so far. ok, they'll probably finish the year like 21 and 11 or something, but the NCAA's are looking possible.

Jessica got me a pedicure for xmas. I was a notch skeptical at first when i went, but it was actually not that bad. left my feetsies all tingly and stuff...

its been a month without the jetta. seems the insurance company and the body shop are in argument concerning the fact that the body shop couldnt get my brakelights to work once they fixed the other stuff. They actually had to put it on a flatbed and take it over to the Volkwagon dealer, who got the problem resolved, but the insurance was not wanting to pay for it saying that it wasnt crash related or something like that. Anyway, I aint paying for it so I guess they will get it figured out sometime this year. meanwhile, I continue to drive the rental from Hades.

Xmas was truly good. the twins got so much stuff I dont know what to say. Between their birthday and xmas, its a constant stream. I guess I should really just count blessings and be fortunate that the twins have grandparents and friends and family that are great benefactors.

well... 2007 is here. lets see what happens...

uh...you have a blog?

yes..it has been a while. Xmas and New Years have passed. It was a great time with a boatload of stuff for the twins. I think my usual blogging time has been taken up by new videogames for the twins and myself. But...tsk, tsk, that is no excuse. more tonight....
