Mom was in New England for a reunion. Randy and Charlotte, Nick and Genna, and Megan and Ryan all took trips to Chicago. Cheryl and Bill Sr. went to see the kids in Laredo. Verginia has been to Atlanta to see Shane and Maggie. Kevin and I are sitting on the couch. Getting on each others nerves.
Here are a few pictures of the ones we have really been missing because they have been gone the longest. Bill Jr., Lauren, Landen, and Brielle are in Laredo, Texas. Nothing is cuter than kids having summer fun. Sunglasses, swimsuits, floaties and all the rest. It just isn't summer without the little ones in their crazy outfits!
I can see at least two band aids on Brielle so I know she is having a blast. Landen is as shy as ever. We miss you guys. It hasn't seemed like summer without you.
Here is a series of pictures. Are they proof that you can be totally insane and still function in society? I believe they are.
Actually I have wanted to post about Twitter. Not the real Twitter but my own personal hell Twitter. I have my very own little verbal bluebird that keeps chirping at me.
Kevin has been taking great delight in Twittering my thoughts in crazy gay voices. He chants at me a hundred miles an hour in a lispy voice about my girlie activities like taking pictures of flowers, cutting coupons, baking, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah.
"Well girlz, I got another Dunkin Donuts coupon! SCORE!"
" I can't waaaaaiiiit to get to the pepper guild and show Sharon my prithe peppers"
"Awesome"!
"Starbucks has a Carmel Machiatto that is just devine. Love it"!
So I laugh but then fly across the room and slug the little shit in the head, make him vacuum, and then go and get gas in my car. Basterd. Inglorious at that!
When I am typing on the computer the voices get louder. He is imagining what I am typing out loud. He can't seem to do it from a sitting position and insists on standing next to me flailing his Twitter at me.
"Flowers, flowers, flowers, I just can't get enough flowers"!
Note to self:
Punch the intruder! I hate Twitter. Both kinds.
It was actually cool enough to get out of the house for a few hours. We took stinky to the park. Drove the strip. Came home and took a nap and then made a summer meal of barbecue chicken, cucumber salad, devilled eggs, and bowtie pasta salad. Kevin wants a strawberry milkshake. So I will just keep saying strawberry milkshake until he can't take it any more and has to go out and get one for each of us. STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!
Let's see how long it takes.
Our very own Vox owners have been named as one of the top Power Couples!!! And we heeeelped!
Six Apart Media was founded in 2001 by high school sweethearts Ben and Mena Trott. (The name comes from the six-day age difference between its married co-founders.) While the company is no household name, it's responsible for creating the very products -- think programs like Movable Type -- that have helped to create the blogosphere
This June, Six Apart bought NaturalPath Media, which, as TechCrunch reported, brands itself as an “online advertising and media network for ‘sustainable, healthy, and conscious lifestyles’."
Six Apart believes that their company can now reach “just south of 90 million unique users” with such an acquisition, according to TechCrunch. Mena is the company’s current president and Ben is the current CTO.
They are in some pretty rarified company including Will Smith/Jada Pinkett, David and Victoria Beckham, Andrea Mitchell and Allen Greenspan, Dianne VonFurstenburg and Barry Diller and the list goes on.
Look at your Vox page design choices and you'll see Mena's name all over the place. Who would have thought that all us little people have helped make our team leaders so rich and famous.
They should send all us Beta Testers a muffin basket.
