Francie Peters wore shoes similar to Dorothy's from "The Wizard of Oz" to let everyone know she was going home."They chose me, and I chose them. And it was good," said Francie Peters. Full story Francie is one of the 25 foster chidren whose adoptions were finalized yesterday. They woke up this morning with a place they can truly call home. I was adopted when I was 3 weeks old, and growing up, my parents always told me I was wanted. I've always felt that way too. May all the children recently adopted have that same feeling growing up in their new home, and may the thousands more who are in need of a place to call home get one soon. :)
I'm a very sad Bears fan today to discover the news about Brian Urlacher's mom passing away unexpectedly. He's left the team for now to be with his family. I understand how it is to  lose your mom in an unexpected way. You will never get over it, but able to deal with it better each day.
âMy first priority right now is to be with my family as we mourn her loss and make the arrangements to lay her to rest,â Urlacher said in a statement released by the Bears. âThis is a very difficult and emotional time for us and I sincerely ask that you respect our privacy. Thank you.â
Urlacher has been excused from the team to be with his family.
Ted woke up this morning to the sound...or I should say 'NO perking sounds'.
He had 3 GREAT eye opening years with the coffee maker, but it bit it this morning. What a way to wake up! I made fun of him for his little camping coffee maker a while ago, but it came in handy this morning. Tonight we shop for a new edition to the household.
Huey's cool with it. It doesn't affect his treats or toys. :)

My sis-in-law Nici sent me a picture of my niece Kaiti this morning.
She's ready to start her 1st day of school as a senior. My eyes started getting watery when I looked at the picture.
A bit because my beautiful baby niece is a senior in high school, but mostly because I thought 'DA*N I'M OLD!!!
LOL!!!
There's a petition going around that 'Bert & Ernie' should be allowed to get married.
What do you think? I'm not remembering any 'Bert & Ernie' coming out?
I bet Lady GaGa would perform? [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/t4jCXLfsUpI" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
