Dad's NEW, new Favorite non-TV Show

Can you believe it?  Dad's got a brand new favorite television show, (but just not on TV).  His long history of favorite shows include Seinfeld, Cops, 48 Hours, Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother and the Big Bang Theory.  But he now has a new favorite--one he watches on the Internet.  I'll bet you didn't even know your old Dad was so tech-savvy!

Anyway, this new show combines two of Dad's favorite things--cars and Jerry Seinfeld.  Yep, you guessed it!  The name of his new favorite show is "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."    In every episode Jerry features a different car and a different comedian friend.  One episode had a vintage Carmen Ghia, another time he was driving a 1952 original German VW bug.  He's also featured Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin and Larry David.  Does it sound interesting?  Go have a watch.  Here's a link:

Butters Dancing!!!

I was cleaning out my work computer and found some pictures from a port in Sendai, Japan after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that slowed our production last year.



Think about all the lost freight!

They just look like lego bricks, not 40 X 8 X 8 shipping containers

Funny Way to End the School Year

At our last staff meeting yesterday, Tim (my soon-to-be former principle) showed us the following Jimmy Kimmel video.  If you can forgive the vulgarity or two, we were all laughing our heads off.

Here's the link:  http://dailypicksandflicks.com/2012/05/11/jimmy-kimmel-a-message-from-your-kids-teachers-video/

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Love,  Claudia

Happy Birthdays!

I have a pound of chocolate and am going to make some cakes! Wish all you March birthdays could come have some!

What is everyone's favorite cake? I love Red Velvet (but this changes, spice cake used to be my favorite... maybe it's a cream cheese frosting thing?)

There goes my hero...

Watch him as he goes... suing people.

What's your favorite movie soundtrack?

I'd say right now, mine is the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Below are some gems!!









Technically, I don't think some of these songs are on the soundtrack, but they're in the movie, so I count them.

I'll see your Bulls intro

And raise you a nerd handshake.  I liked this.  I hope you do, too.

Go Bulls!

Rental

I got my house rented out for next school year!

And I'm getting 20% more this year, so I'm pretty excited.

I posted it on Craigslist, had an email from someone within an hour, showed it 2 days later and they told me they wanted it later that night (after checking with their parents, of course).

I'd like to refinance with a 15 year mortgage, but I'm not sure how that would work since it is now a rental. I think rentals are subject to higher rates... I'll have to investigate.

For a Future Date

Karl and Emily, I wanted to make sure you knew of an awesome venue for your (someday) wedding.  McDonald's!  We were getting ice cream comes on Tuesday night and came across this awesome advertisement in McDonald's.  You can have this "unique venue" for your party.  "Everything will be taken care of by McDonald's"  

"All you need to do is to be there and enjoy the moment of your lifetime"  

SUPERBOWL MADNESS

There are a ton of celebrities in town for the superbowl. (you know like rob low and jimmy fallon, and madonna and stuff)

I have been dressing SUPER cool at work just in case anyone comes shopping and might want to be my new best friend or something.

This website is dedicated to my favorite celebrity who is in town (and had lunch in noblesville yesterday, thanks twitter diehards for breaking that news): RYAN GOSLING

I love that Indy is willing to screech like a little girl over celebrities and not be all nonchalant like those new yorkers and LA folk.

speaking of letting your emotions show, this clip made me laugh, and then wonder why on earth she brought it to share with Ellen?::
Kristen Bell and a Sloth...

I would have loved to see some of these in the Gimbel Men's photos.^

and I know your babies need these:

Who is who?

Someone at Thanksgiving had the bright idea to buy the Gimbel men matching shirts.

Clearly, Dad was not a fan...

But I think Chloe was...

Ryan and Karl... or Karl and Ryan...

Not sure...
