A few weeks ago, we moved from the old purple theme of the blog to one a little less “loud”. It was a temporary step while we worked on a more final theme that both looked clean and professional and could be more easily personalized. This is the result – and it’s here to stay. You might notice some minor things still changing here or there, but nothing drastic.

Also, as part of this, we’ve also resurrected the John & Ansley twitter account (@johnandansley) which will be used to automatically tweet all of our posts, but not much else. I’ll still be using @johncox63 and Ansley is still using @ansleycox. If you haven’t already – follow one or all of them.

I have a case of writers’ block and can’t seem to come up with posts lately. I’ll think of something to write about but talk myself out of it. I hope to be back soon!

Maybe I’ll throw up a slide show or two…

I hadn’t seen this photo or heard about this article before seeing this link on Ashley’s Closet. AWESOME.

Geez, we have been so lazy with the blog! I’ve been much better than John…I swear he’s still around here…somewhere.

New posts coming soon! (From me – I can’t speak for the guy who disappeared.)

Please excuse the “I’ve Been Published” post if you saw it before John took it down. I don’t even remember writing it…I’d already taken my Ambien for the night and then got inspired to write. Thank goodness it was more normal than most of my Ambien-induced ramblings!

I have a growing list of funny conversations/stunts I’ve pulled while on Ambien, but I think I’d embarrass John (and I guess myself) to share them. Like the night there was a French flight attendant on my nightstand, or the monster in Charlie’s diaper bag…

….and I swear we’ll both get around to posting something soon!

Here are some fun links until then:

This drives me crazy – security monitoring companies constantly leave notes hanging from our doorknob saying “Sorry we missed you.” It’s like advertising to the world that we’re not home. Do they want us to get burglarized so that we’ll be more inclined to purchase a security system???

I didn’t even know there was such a thing as Capitalism Day until reader Tod wrote me an email to inform me of it. Cool, right?

What’s cooler than that?

Ice cold? NOPE!

Capitalism Day Cards!!! Bad ass.

So, get your pocketbook out and buy a card and send me one for Capitalism Day!
