Today the rare occurance of snow happened over much of central Alabama. The last time I remember seeing such a blanketing was back in 2000 which proves why people around here get so damn excited and and excitable about it. It's not like the mad panic to the grocery for milk and bread is justified (or for others, beer and Golden Flake potato chips). Folks just like pretending it could happen. It's a southern thing I suppose.

As for the snow, it didn't last long and was mostly melted two hours after it quit falling, but it was a joy to watch. I was in Crestwood and got to witness Stella, the wonder pup, as she looked up at the sky with great amusement and some confusion, although she looks at many things that way.

More photos from the weather phenomena are here.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle .

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
