Avocados and Dogs

People who don't like avocados = shady.

People who don't like dogs = shady.

People who don't like dogs OR avocados = dead to us.

We've known for some time that truly the best people love dogs and avocados. We are now ready to take it a step further and say that if a person has an aversion to either avocados or dogs, that something must be off. Recently, this theory proved itself once again. Leslie was at dinner with a potential mate of a good friend. Wanting to give her the benefit of the doubt, Leslie bit her tongue when she ordered her tacos without avocado. (WHY DON'T YOU JUST ORDER LIFE WITHOUT SUNSHINE YOU INGRATE?!) Well as it turns out she was shady and quite possibly dead to us.


So, dear friend, consider yourself better off. You deserve someone who doesn't slap God in the face for the wonders he's given us.

Audrey Kate Greywoode is a great name and an even better niece

As a couple who will be making a similar decision soon, we have to applaud Ashley and Jewel's choice of a name for their daughter (our niece). Audrey Kate Greywoode is a beautiful name that is neither run-of-the-mill nor overly peculiar. We have not heard whether the Hepburns were specifically called out here but regardless, the graceful Audrey, a soft sounding name that is delicate, followed by the shorter name of Kate, which is typically a nick-name, strikes the perfect balance. The use of the nickname version for Kate is a great choice because it adds some panache to the name without going off the reservation. While Audrey is a name of soft sounds and vowels, Kate is just a K and a T, two of the hardest sounding letters in the alphabet, put together in a cute one-syllable name that complements the more fancy-pants names of Audrey and Greywoode both in sound and number of syllables.

Or, in short, we love it.

Our dog is gifted

Hobbes has not had an accident in the house in about 3 weeks. Ergo, he is the smartest dog alive. Ergo some more, we are going to be the best parents ever.

Did we mention how cute he is?

Cussing on blogs

Leslie and I don't cuss much. In general, we're civilized folk. We like fancy food, good music, and are polite and well-spoken. But when it comes to blogs, son of a bitch, cussing just feels so right. Apparently, according to Ethan, I only cuss when it's in blog form or when Jason doesn't clear the puck up the boards. I think I've calmed down about hockey since our first season but Heroes still needs to know what's up. And really, what better forum is there fo cussing? For the record though, I'm not going to try to string together some obscenities now just for the sake of it. Just head over to Watching and Judging and read pretty much anything.

Crunchy Peanut Butter

Why even eat peanut butter if you want to obliterate any resemblance to the peanut? And also, who doesn't love crunching? Crunchy sandwiches are underrated.
