Modo Baseball Game

So for those of you who don't know about Modo, Modo is Spencer, Jody and Lee's son. When Modo was really little, about a year and some, he used to say "mo" for no, and "do" for don't. It stuck as a nickname that he will have for the rest of his life of Modo.

Yesterday Modo had a baseball game. Jody had told me that he gets really nervous when people come to watch him and to maybe just whistle instead of yell, "GO MODO!!" He had a couple good hits. Here are a couple pictures.

Slug Bug No Slugs Back

As I was driving to the office yesterday there were three construction men. One was about 6'3" and about 260 pounds, one that was about 6'1" and about 220 pounds, and one that was maybe 5'11" and 170 pounds. They were all standing around wasting taxpayer's money, it looked like to me, and I pull up to the red light, first in line. All of a sudden the biggest guy fists up and hits the medium guy in the chest and says, "Slug bug, no slugs back." Then the medium guy hits the smaller guy and says, "Slug bug, no slugs back." Then they all start laughing and rubbing their chests. I can't help but wonder, when does "Slug bug, no slugs back" get old? Shouldn't there be an age limit on it? I mean, what a bunch of dufices (sp).

70 Cupcakes for the 70th Birthday Dad

On Saturday we had a birthday party for dad. Instead of doing a big cake, Mom decided she was going to have Rainy do cupcakes. So along with the help of our cousin, Diane, here are a few pictures of the "cupcake tower". They made chocolate, lemon and carrot. It looked absolutely amazing.

At last!

The last few months I've had some real crappy depos. For example, witness interruptions/ attorney interruptions depos, only one person ordered it after you've been there all day and it was 200 pages depos, real dense vocabulary depos, attorneys wanted the question read back and so I just muffed my way through it because they were talking too fast and didn't listen to me to slow down depos, or just plain I-didn't-want-to-be-there depos. The last three depos have been a wonderful change. For example, a depo that I've done 3 witnesses in and so I've created a job dictionary and everything translates which makes my editing much easier, or the hardest word I wrote was "prom" depo, or today's depo where I was affixed on an attorney's lips (which were luscious, by the way, and he's married, dang it) in speaking and the hardest word was "gravel". Hallelujah, I've think I've finally cracked my running streak for bad jobs.

Big Fat Loser

So, ya'll know that I love, love, love the Big Fat Loser, as I call it, and so here is my picture. I don't really like this picture, but here it is.
I've lost 15 pounds, 3 1/2 inches from my chest, 2 1/2 inches from my thighs, 3 inches from my waist.
