Had to share with the world.
In other news, Jason is out of control sick with a chest cold. Gross. Poor little bunny. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXLHWmjA5IE ) hehe.
In still other news, I'm trying to compile a list of "must reads" for my personal usage. Any excellent book recommendations out there.
Last news of all, I have to work mandatory 7am to 6pm hours this week. Sick. That's ok. Four months until Puerto Rico!!!
Loves.

Talk about rocking a run! I wish there were THREE treads downstairs, because you are so inspiring! It was so fun running with you yesterday (and watching a chick flick at the same time). Can it get better?
haven't read all the one's on the bbc list, but I've read a few of the one's from the list and the one i was going to recommend to you was listed:
#94 Watership Down
A couple of faves: Reading Lolita in Tehran and The Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged).
Miss you! Get over your cold, Jason!! It's no fun to be sick...unless you have Laura as your nurse, I suppose ;)
Oh my goodness. Cafe Rio pork barbacoa salad is my all time favorite thing to eat! We don't have one here in Wa which is why we are considering changing our location. not really.
I am reading "love and logic" right now and I really really like it. It's a "kid rearing" book but put it on your list anyway.
You sound like such a happy newly wed, I love it.
Andrea
whoa that is sick (working mandatory 11 hour days)
