Skipped a year!

Do you remember in Dallas when - GASP! - Bobby was hit by a hit & run driver and the entire show spent an entire season grieving him and then in the first episode of the subsequent season, Pam wakes up, hears the shower running, enters the bathroom and lo & behold, it's Bobby? 

Well that's Aunt Crazy folks.

We're just going to skip the 2011 season and come right to 2012.  Let me just say ... life is almost the same!!  I memorized most Lonely Island songs since you last heard from me, and I'm also about 15 pounds heavier than my last blog post.  Does it show?

I tried to adopt.  It didn't happen.  I'm now an approved Foster Parent with the city of Richmond.  I also got a new job.  I start in February. 

Hope to write more soon!!  I missed you!! Have a great weekend!!

I'm in the Press!

OK, so occasionally I Google Aunt Crazy to see what appears, and it SEEMS that my new best friend margarito11roble (whom I have never met) has posted me.  Here's the "article", which is really just a reference to my original post.  And by "reference" I mean that she posted an article that had "Aunt Crazy,", a colon, and the name of my blogpost.   I'm even on Zimbio for the same thing, whatever that is!

Problem is she must have posted it REALLY soon because it was the "cached" version of my original post, which spell's Jon Stewart's name "Jon Steward."  DANG that Google!!

Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear

On October 30th, 2010, hundreds of thousands of us moderates gathered on the National Mall in Washington, DC to join Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in their Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.  It was phenomenal.  No one knows the exact numbers in attendance, but the Washington Metro had its highest - HIGHEST - ridership in a single day EVER.  I believe it, too!  Mostly, it was just a lot of fun. 

Coming up out of the L'Enfant Metro.

Padma's Sane Sign

My Sane Sign (and shout out to our college buddies)

One of the coolest things we saw - just some Muslims offering double dutch. 

And a cute man struggling with the jump rope!  He was such a great sport. 

My favorite picture of the day.

Aunt Crazy's attire

The crowds

Pad-baby

So true!

Love it.

They must be from Austin.  :) 

No service - BIG surprise. 

The Countdown!! 

Crowds all the way up the steps of the Art Museum. 

A picture taken by the Park Police - which we'll probably never see. 

Celebrating moments of temporary insanity in 2010 - our boy Steven the crazy flight attendant.

Another good sign. 

More of the crowd was probably liberal, but honestly most of the signs were really neutral or really funny. 

Having a blast!

Visiting the Powderly family on Halloween the next day!

Katie is a WIZ with the computer ... her hand isn't even as big as the mouse!

Katie and Chris showing me around their new digs.  The house was beautiful!

Kerry in the Playroom before we headed out to lunch.  They even have a secret hiding place for presents - such a cool house!
