Pug Summer

SO you all know how Sarah wants to get a Pug.  Well here's a great reason why we shouldn't.  They can't swim.  Look at thing thing paddling, and it's not even in the water.  BTW, worst music video ever.

State Fair '09

I know everyone is looking forward to this post... Which by the way, if you're reading this, comment for God's Sake! Or just say you're following the blog (upper right ----->) So I know who my audience is. Anyways....

We went to the Iowa State Fair last night. My goodness what a shit-show. Nothing but mullets, non-handicapped fat people in rascals, fried food, and fat people as far as the eye can see. Basically the perfect storm of eating as much unhealthy food as possible, and still making fun of people that are eating more.

I'll start out with the highlight of the day for me. This was the most tricked out Rascal I have ever seen. This one looks like it had 4-wheel drive, chrome wheels, a trailer for your lazy friends, and TWO, count 'em TWO cup-holders on the trailer! Basically a "white-trash mobile." The best part about the whole thing is that people are riding these things all over the place, NONE of which are actually handicapped. They're just lazy and fat.

While at the fair this year we were able to see Julianne Hough at the free stage. Well no one there was actually a fan of the music she sings, (except for Sarah and a select few people who were actually cheering) Most of the people there just knew her from Dancing With The Stars and were hoping that Shawn Johnson was going to be there. She did look excellent. But the highlight was outside the show when we saw this couple......

For those who can't see, this is a guy in a Kilt WITH a Mullet, and and his lovely bride. With a wide load.

It's well documented that fair food is incredibly unhealthy. But that's the point. My sister-in-law's Boyfriend Kenton thinks that fair food is absolutely disgusting. Which is why I took this picture. They have deep fat fried Green Beans, Zucchini and Cauliflower. What could be more healthy than that? It certainly wasn't the deep-fried Snickers bar that I had. (If you're thinking to yourself, "wow Brian... that sounds amazing." You're right, it was.) More food stuff to come.

Next you'll notice the Stroller parking for all the parents. I won't make too much fun of this due to the fact that we were there with BJ and Kristen and their little guy Drew. But still... Stroller parking? Huh.

This is Sarah with something new at the fair this year. Pineapple Whip Ice Cream. Yes, it was amazing.

And here she is with another fair staple. These little morsels of awesomeness are known as "Cheese Curds". Basically a ball of cheese, covered in batter and deep fried in grease. YES!

That concluded our trip to the fair. I'm sure Sarah will post her picture from the actual camera sometime soon, so stay tuned. Until then, keep on eating.

On a side note: I weighed myself before I went to the fair, and then again when I came back... Lost 1.9 lbs. You're thinking, "But Brian, how could that be??!?!" Well, we walked a lot, and the monkey laid a large brown banana in the bathroom. All in all, a successful trip to the fair.

Poo Trap

Someone PLEASE order one of these and let me know if it works. My goodness, I hope this doesn't make someone a millionaire.

Sarah Darling CD Release Party

If you are a country music fan you may recognize the song Jack of Hearts by Sarah Darling. Sarah Darling is a up and coming country artist that happens to be originally from Iowa! She went to South East Polk High school and is from Mitchelville (just east of Des Moines). After graduating high school she moved to Nashville to pursue a music carreer.

July 28th was the release of her first album and Best Buy in Des Moines hosted a cd release party for her. Being a huge country fan I couldn't pass up this exciting opportunity, and my friend Natasha was super excited to come with me. Sarah autographed our cds and sang about 7 songs from her new album , Every Monday Morning.

After seeing her live Natasha and I are even more obsessed with her! She has an incredible voice, she's gorgeous and she wrote all of her songs on the album.

MY FIRST BLOG!!! 1st Anniversary- Boston, MA

So I finally figured out this blogging business. I am going to start with our 1st anniversary that was back in May. We took a long weekend trip to Boston. Home of the Red Sox. Possibly the reason why we went :)

Some highlights of our trip:

*Lobster (twice)

*Red Sox game-they lost in the 9th inning...annoying, but still Brian's HEAVEN!!

*Duck boat tour of the city

*Meeting up with our friend Mike. He picked us up from the airport, took us to dinner (can't remember the name) and took us to a bar called The Black Rose-ironically my parents used to hang out there when my dad was at Harvard Business School. Thanks Mike!!

*The Fairmont Copley Plaza- our gorgeous hotel with 10 dollar orange juice(don't even ask how much the liquor was).

*The Museum of Natural History- rocks, crystals, a ton of dead stuffed animals, and dinosaurs...awesome!

*Curious George Store- Yes an entire store with curious george!! Sarah's HEAVEN!

*Dinner at the Union Oyster House

It was fabulous First Anniversary! Love you bebes!!

Monkeys that think they're human scare me.

I ran across this site today, I wonder how long it will take sarah to read it. (due to the fact that she never blogs on this site.) It's titled the 50 Funniest Monkey Photos of All time. Some good stuff here, I'm sure my wife the person who wants a monkey will love it.

Just a reminder to everyone...

Seriously guys... No Blowjobs or peeing on the floor in this bathroom. I can't say that I'm proud I found this picture floating about the internet. But I can say this website has some incredible picture galleries of similar things. 87% of which are hilarious. 100% of which are dedicated solely to men, and the art of looking at half/fully naked women.

This Snuggie thing is getting out of control

My favorite is the poodle sitting next to her decrepid old owner while she knits away.
