Who Will Scream at Me Now?

So I come in to check my email just before heading off to bed, and check out CNN only to see the saddest headline I could possibly imagine... Billy Mays, OxiClean pitchman, found dead What?!?! How can this be? I heart Billy Mays. I record Pitchmen every week and love watching him & Sully go back and forth. I don't think tv will ever be the same again (John says it will be quieter from now on; I am not amused by that). Well, I guess I will try and get to sleep after this devastating news. Goodbye Billy, I will miss you.

House Guest

We have had a house guest for the past few days... and she is a real Princess.

No really... her name is Princess. While her parents have been in Vegas for a long weekend, Tina & Einstein have been keeping her company.
