Uncannily appropriate signage...

Wow. P-town has really outdone themselves. It's like the signage gods KNEW I was trying to find something to blog about...  Cause, really. I don't know if you knew this, but...snow sports ARE inherently dangerous. Not just dangerous, INHERENTLY dangerous. That's right. Careful...
I know some of you might be thinking, huh...that's a good sign, right? People, this thing is NEW. It's new and it's April...the END of April and it's 80 degrees outside. AND, it is posted nowhere near a park. AT all. Nor are there any fencing, straw bales, or tables anywhere. Believe me, we looked...as if we haven't walked on this sidewalk a billion times before. Great park, eh?
Also...
      Dear P-town,
           If you really don't want people to build jumps... perhaps you shouldn't leave unattended large piles of consolidated dirt in said non-parks. I mean, you're practically GIVING them the idea. Just sayin... 
      Sincerely,
          Thoroughly Entertained Ella

Singing with the fam...the whole fam...

Hey all! I'm finally nearing the end of this overwhelming year of school (not the degree though, shut it...), so I can come out of hiding sometimes! Yay! You will have to excuse the lack of wit. I wasted it all on my naz-tay azz-tay final over the weekend. Ew ew ew. Moving on...

So, today as I was perusing my long-neglected list of friends' blogs and adding my two cents, there came that point where you must provide proof that you're not a robot, you know, with the usually completely incomprehensible non-words you have to muddle through? This particular word ROCKED:

"eCrap" ...that's right. As in , electronic crap. ahahahahah! Now, its funny at first, but I think its BRILLIANT! If I could figure out how to do research and write a dissertation on the invasion of eCrap, I TOTALLY would! So gonna start using that. In that vein, I know I haven't blogged a lot recently, but in an effort not to add to the growing epidemic of eCrap (ahahahahahah...every time...), here's a goodie:

(I know, some of you hate clicking on links on blogs, but TRUST me. I have I ever steered you wrong? I didn't think so... click on it, give it a minute until you can see the pic of my grandma and then click on the music note and be patient. :) )

This is my extended family singing at my Grandma Griffin's funeral, with a total of about, oh I dunno...30 minutes practice? Sometimes I love my family. It does help that my cousin is a professor of music (he led us), but still...sometimes I think there are far more things that are hereditary than physical characteristics. Listen to this gem. And remember how cool my gma was! :)

PS. Isn't my sister fab!?!? Her eScrapbooking skillz amaze me sometimes.
