Sometimes I get bored writing about the girls all the time. I could tell you that Turtle now speaks in four word sentences (“I need mo shrimp”) and that Monkey seems to be in the beginning stages of getting her two-year molars (God help me), or that both girls are in the throes of Longhorn Gear Mania (“mas Tecas, mas Tecas!”). Turtle actually cried this morning because I didn’t have a “Tecas” hat for her to wear.
But enough about them. Following the Facebook model, I've decided to tell you 25 random things about me that you might not know. I think that quiz came out on Facebook, I’m not sure. I ignore all the quizzes and questions on Facebook. And that’s Random Thing #1 for you.
