Is amazed both the Seattle Post-Intel is closing down AND the SF Chronicle is probably following suit. :(

Jet lagged, a little fatter, and a whole lot of new clothes and smiles. I <3 Roma!

Off to the motherland! See y'all in 5 days with a much bigger pasta belly! :)

Mahoney Baloney

In a question as to whether anyone from Generation X wouldn't know what the Blue Oyster is, the concept of Mahoney, Steve Guttenberg, and baloney being rather similiar came up.

Before you scoff, let's analyze:

Guttenberg is from Brooklyn and was surrounded by Italians growing up. Baloney (actually spelled bologna) is Italian, coming from the town of Bologna, Italy in the north.

Guttenberg became a very popular actor in the 80s after movies like Cocoon, the Police Academy movies, and Short Circut were all released. Bologna was hugely popular in the 80s as well after Oscar Mayer began offering the cold cut on a massive scale.

It's kind of hard not to have a soft spot for Guttenberg as the lovable Mahoney character that got all the hot babes after doing what was right. And it's hard not to smile when you think of bologna, because it reminds you of a time when you were innocent and young.

But for as much as Guttenberg was a hero in the 80s, you don't really want him starring in any major motion pictures today, just like you wouldn't really want your main meal today to consist of anything to do with bologna.

So as you can see, the two are actually pretty similar after all.

YEAY I <3 my hubby!!! BIG bunch of roses AND an iPhone for my pre-V-day gifts! :) Can't wait for tomorrow! :)

Can everybody cheer up today? Let's smile, it's finally breaking 35 degrees here.

Two biopsies, no cancer. :) For now anyway. Yeay me.

Biopsies = normal

I thought I’d feel better at hearing the words "normal," but I know what that means. It means “for now.” Those are the words they don’t tell you. Come back in three months means, we could wind up doing everything all over again then. The roller coaster never ends. For many others, their one-time test is that. The results are it and then they can move on. Too bad I have to do this the rest of my life!

Today is Lauren's big day! Can't wait to meet her baby boy! :)

Doesn't think there is anything better than hearing Obama say "You ain’t my bitch, nigga! Buy your own damn fries!” http://ping.fm/ciGoF
