miserable rain . . . is not the right stuff

It is GROSS out! Ewww! What happened to April shower brings May FLOWERS. Not downpours and 50s.

Update on our ceiling - still a hole, still a bucket, still dripping, plumber not returning our calls. Awesome.

Last night we had mexican-y veggie wraps. Zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, kale, onions, carrots, red pepper, black beans, chipotles with cilanto, coriander, garlic, chili powder, chives, basil and oregano. With iberico cheese and sour cream. With a side of good old fashioned spanish rice. And we watched Lost. Which is SO confusing!

This morning the New Kids on the Block were on the Today show in their first live appearance in 15 years. They released their first album in 1986. 1986 people! I am not sure how I feel about the fact that 1) I went to a concert for a band that has been gone for 15 years when I was in 5th(?) grade. 2) There were people that drove form Toronto and slept on the streets of New York for 2 nights to see them. 3) they haven't had a concert of that magnitude on the Today Show (number of screaming people and volume of the screaming) since 'NSYNC's first live performance 4) The majority of the screaming fans appeared to be in their 40s.

They sound exactly like they did. Jordan and Joey appear to have gotten better looking with age. Jonathan does not look good (He was my favorite but he looks like he is a constant state of panic on stage). They probably shouldn't be dancing like that. Just in case you were wondering - Jordan is now 38 (tomorrow) and has an 8 year old and a 1 year old. Jonathan is 40. Joey is 35 and has a 6 month old. Donnie is 38, divorced and has a 15 year old and a 7 year old. Danny is still ugly, is 39 (birthday was Wednesday) and divorced with 4 kids (16, 13, 10, 9, from 2 mommies).

One last note before your puzzle, if you will notice the links on the sidebar. One of them is Ciggitycite which is a forum set up by a friend in my program where people talk about pretty much everything from politics to food to movie and music and random internet stuff and bodily functions. If you are interested in joining (you dont have to post but you really really really should) let me know.
