Meet Mr. Refurbished



Hi! I'm Jen's "new" refurbished computer. You may think I was a great deal at Tiger Direct for only $200. Jen and Ben sure did. If you are interested in buying one like me, I would like to share with you a few bonus features you won't find advertised in the catalog:
  • sometimes, the mouse doesn't work!!
  • once you get the mouse to finally work again, the computer keyboard won't type at all! WOW!
  • surprise shutdowns often occur, just for fun!
  • and once your computer shuts down just for fun, neither the mouse NOR the keyboard will work at all!
  • got important emails to send? HA!
  • I like to sleep for DAYS at a time and won't work again until I darn well feel like it! Or until Bennett gets around to finally fixing me, he he.
Gotta go. Jen has to answer emails from last week and she's been pretty bitter towards me lately. Maybe if she'd clean up her work space I'd be a little bit more cooperative. I get no respect!

Off to the Ball












Tonight Bennett took the girls to a Father Daughter dance at Marbles Kid's Museum. A few weeks ago, he invited them to a Valentine's "Ball" and last week, he sent them letters from Wisconsin letting them know how much he was looking forward to it. The excitement was pretty high for this event. First: what to wear. We took a Christmas dress Grandma Wise had given them and changed it from Christmas to Valentine's. Then, we did some hair work with mama's curling iron. And finally, we practiced a little dancing. And just a few minutes along, they went off to the ball!

Bennett and the Krispy Kreme Challenge

Today Bennett and Bobby ran the Krispy Kreme Challenge. It's become a tradition now. Basically, that's run 2 miles from the NC State Belltower to the Krispy Kreme in downtown Raleigh, eat a dozen donuts, then run 2 miles back.

This year, Bennett is proud to say he ate six donuts (and completed the 4 miles) as opposed to his previous record of 3 donuts. He only almost lost them once, according to his account. 12 donuts is something you have to work up to, you see. Many have tried and failed, as you can imagine.

We are proud of him!
