The new addition...

Welcome the newest addition to the Marchbanks Family...








Both mom and the little one are home and doing well... and I am so excited to have another nephew to spoil.


We had our first photo shoot, and I have to say, he almost has "blue steel" down...

My favorite top news stories from this morning on MSN...

Bank robber: I did it to get away from wife
A Pennsylvania man said he robbed a bank in 2007 to go to jail and get away from his overbearing wife.

That really is desperation to get away.


Man arrested in outhouse pit crawl — again
A Maine man caught peering up at a girl from below an outhouse toilet seat four years ago stands accused of crawling into another pit toilet in a national forest in New Hampshire.

All I can say is... gross!!


And this one was my favorite:

Honolulu considers fining stinky bus riders
The Honolulu City Council is considering a bill that would impose up to a $500 fine and/or up to six months in jail for public transit passengers convicted of being too smelly.

Do you think they will have a burst of febreeze greet you as you step onto the bus?

why, why, why?

Do you ever have days that no matter what you seem to do to try and stay positive, the negativity just keeps creeping in. I'm feeling today like the ever bright light at the end of the tunnel I keep trying to race towards keeps moving away, much like a lightening bug that refuses to let me catch it.
So here is my question today, and you can choose to answer it or maybe just ponder it like I'm doing....

"is it all worth it?"

That's it... that's what I'm pondering at this time. I know many of you are saying, WHAT? Why not be a little more specific, but the truth is, I can't. If I could be more specific I'd know what was bugging me and be able to fix it, or at least unleash pent up anger in its general direction till it dispersed from being a pain or I fizzled into tears.

I feel as though I may fizzle into tears anyway today... I guess this is fair warning to those of you I may be in contact with today.
