NASCAR goes cosmetic

Apparently I'm way behind on this, but Jason and I saw a commercial last night for a Daytona 500 cologne. Do people really associate the Daytona 500 with a pleasing fragrance?

I find the combination questionable, and as I told Jason last night, I'd prefer it if he didn't smell anything like the Daytona 500.

Passing the Buck

My husband, instead of formulating an opinion on the various nursery bedding that I've sent him, has taken the decision to his blog. Feel free to scan and vote here.

A Ray of Sunshine

Remembering my love for all things Rachael Ray, my friend JB sent me this link.

The video, in addition to being entertaining, pretty accurately sums up why she drives me nuts. But you can't deny--she has amassed a following to rival the less-irritating Food Network celebrities. So, JB and Carla (and any other Boston natives), go on and line up for the book signing. And say something clever if you get to the front of the line ... she just may let out a snort for you.

Giggle Box

I hope Hallie laughs like this.

Hallie Kay Head Makes Her Debut

Well, just in case there is someone out there who I haven't told, we got big news today... Our little one is a girl! (Hence the pink font.) She currently weighs 8 ounces, which is just perfect, and she kicked and waved at us the whole time the nurse did the ultrasound. I would post the ultrasound pictures, but trust me when I tell you that you wouldn't be able to tell what they are. So, you'll just have to wait for a REAL photo of our baby girl in May!

Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Good

More Campell's soup is consumed in Louisville, Kentucky, than in any other area of the country.

Laura? Courtney? Any theories as to why?

This Could be Awkward

This lawyer is suing her firm (while continuing to work there) because she claims that the firm told her she should be spending less time at work and more time with her kids.

I don't think anyone will deny the fact that juggling a career and a family presents its challenges, particularly when both spouses work. And I read blogs and articles where women say that it can't be done well. However, this is a decision unique to each family, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make the decision for myself.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

According to this website, I have a 60% chance of having a baby girl.

According to my mother's voodoo magic over Thanksgiving, I am definitely having a girl.

We'll have confirmation in 5 DAYS!
