Well it's Texas/OU eve and things are shakin in our homestead. The Red River Shoot Out ranks second to, hmmmm, well nothing according to Matteo. Not even our anniversary ;) This year, though, will be different from all years past: we'll be in Michigan on game day! Matt and his Uncle Jim will be at the Michigan game WHILE OU IS PLAYING TEXAS. I couldn't believe Matt agreed to this. I think it must be because he is pretty darn sure this will be their year. He's already got a plane ticket to the Rose Bowl so he can see the National Championship!!
Have a good weekend everyone!

i heart verizon
Dearest Verizon,
Thou art the most wonderful cell phone company in all the land! I shall proclaim my loyalty and shout it from the rooftops (or from my blog, whatever's more convenient). My trusty Samsung phone broketh and the display doth dangleth from one tiny wire. My downtrodden cell phone and I headed to the mall to track down the legendary, yet elusive, Verizon customer service.
Alas! Customer service cameth througheth for me and my Samsung! A brand spanketh new phone was presented as a replacement for FREE.
Oh, Verizon! Thou art my knight in shining plastic!
Forever yours,
Madamoiselle Cynthia

Watchdog
Well, I must stay I'm a pretty darn good watchdog. For instance, when I hear noises outside I jump up on the table, look outside, and whine. It's all in the strategy, baby. Boogiemen outside will see my ferocious face and run - I'm sure of it. Just doin' my job around here. Someone's gotta keep this joint safe.Peace in the 'hood,
Molly
**Disclaimer: When the Texas flag was stolen this weekend (as in someone ripped the flag - mount and all - right off the side of our HOUSE - leaving HOLES where the nails were), I will have you know that I was in my CRATE and unable to perform my window magic.

So Wrong.... Who Comes Up With This Stuff???
President Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French 
President Bush and a giddy Jacques Chirac shake hands on the deal.
BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.
"This is a bold step forward for America," said Bush. "And America will be stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with French Prime Minister Jack Sharaq, who was so kind to accept my offer of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."
The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.
"Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going to fix it."
The move has been met with incredulity from the beleaguered residents of Louisiana.
However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded by Republicans.
"This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we've just made 25 million dollars in pure profit."
"This is indeed a smart move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again."
The money gained from 'T'he Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped into the rebuilding of Iraq.

It's Official...
...my car is a LEMON!
This is the THIRD time it's been in the shop in one year. The service girl just called and said, "Girl, you need brakes in a bad way" (think small town Kentucky accent). That's just what I wanted to hear! She said, "whew, they are all rusted and causing your engine and everything else to jolt." Niiiiiice. Hope Superior Nissan can turn my lemon into some lemonade. They should for $300. Booooooooooooo Hisssssssssssss.

Cincinnati Zoo
This little gem you see here is the cause for the signage: BE ALERT! And that's no joke! She gathered up sticks and clumps of grass and hurled them at the crowd. Whatta little joker she was! Gotta love the Gorillas!

Gütentag, Hofbräuhaus!
What is the NUMBER ONE thing about living in KENTUCKY? Oh yeah, only that we have the ONLY Hofbräuhaus in America. That's right folks, there are two in the world - München (Munich) and NEWPORT, KY! Ok, so Newport is really "metro Cincinnati," but it's on the Kentucky side of the river, so I'm claiming it for the Commonwealth! (By the way, if anyone 
knows the difference between a State and a Commonwealth, I'd really like to know.) These pictures are of Matt and I posing as Germans and dancing the night away to the sound of an authentic Bavarian band complete with an Accordian player and YODELING! I think we may be the only people to ever do the Texas Two Step to Bavarian Folk Music, but hey - it worked for us. Towards the end of the night, however, Matt traded me in for a "more experienced" dance partner! Look at the sweat he worked up - she gave him a run for his money! She definitley knew what she was doing - she was the accordian player's mother!
We left there stuffed to the gills with excellent German fare. We had pretzels with grainy mustard, bratwurst, mettwurst, bierwurst, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes! It was awesome. For those of you who've been to the original - this was every bit as great! Come visit us and we'll take you there!

Komen Race for the Cure
We participated in the Komen Race for the Cure this past Saturday. There were approximately 6000 people there (in lil' ole Lexington)! We were shocked at what a production it was. Each participant donated $20 to race, and many had others donate in addition to their entry fee. So - at the very least - $120,000 was raised that day! 75% stays in Kentucky and 25% goes to the national Komen foundation. Way to go Lexington!! We finished the 5k walk in about 50 minutes. Matt and I walked together the whole way, but - of course - on the home stretch Matt took off in a sprint so he finished about a minute ahead of me (ya bum)!
TWO BUCK CHUCK ROCKS!
Many thanks to our new friend, Joe, for my first bottle of Two Buck Chuck Shiraz! Love it. Unfortunately, 2 Buck is sold exclusively at Trader Joe's stores and Trader Joe has not moved into Kentucky yet (or Texas for that matter). So the next time you drive by a Trader Joe's, I suggest you pick up a case of this wonderful wine.
What's "Two Buck Chuck?" The affectionate nickname, "Two Buck Chuck," is inspired by its price ($1.99) in Trader Joe's stores in California. Our guess is someone thought that since the wine is so inexpensive, it deserves a less formal nickname. "Charles" is so $8.99.
A Word From Molly
Well, I've finally mastered typing. This whole computer thing isn't as hard as I thought it would be. My puppy 'rents are teaching me all kinds of tricks. That's why they don't have time to dust the computer (as you can see in the photo of me typing). I'm still having trouble learning to roll over and be quiet, but typing is a piece of cake. In this photo I am checking out some financial information. I'm thinking of switching auto insurance companies.
Love, Molly
