Chrissy and I will be on a plane for California tomorrow night.  Chrissy is very pregnant, so we’ll be boarding all of the airplanes first, ahead of all of the non-pregnant and non-disabled people.  We finally get to play the “pregnancy card” for something other than ditching out on family events.

This is a family event that we want to attend though.  My cousin Eric is getting married in Montecito on Sunday. To get there, we’ll be taking a 5:50 PM flight out of Midway tomorrow night.  But first, we’ll be hanging out with Carl and Misha in Los Angeles on Saturday. We won’t be coming home until Monday morning.

Someone at work sent me this viral video. It’s probably more relevant around Easter time, but it’s funny any time.

I needed some door hardware for the new shelves that Glenn is building in my office, but I was having trouble finding affordable ones in the style that I like. Chrissy and I really like Mission Style furniture (both of our office desks will be Mission Style), so I wanted to match that to the doors on my oak cabinets.

The problem is that these tend to be heavy pewter models, which cost a lot ($5 each) and are expensive to ship. However, I did find a good vendor online that is pretty inexpensive. The place is called “D. Lawless Hardware” and they have an entire line of Mission style door hardware. Surprisingly, I was able to put door pulls on all eight cabinet doors for about ten bucks, and it was only another ten shipping!

Chrissy told me that today all the teachers were talking about an email that the principal, Dr. Towner, sent to them about diseases from rat urine on pop cans. The entire lounge was convinced it was true.

Chrissy didn’t buy it and told them they should check an urban legends web site to validate it. They all said, “But the email quotes a University research project that said the tops of cans are dirtier than toliets”. Chrissy told them that she didn’t believe the research was ever done.

Later on, Chrissy looked on About.com. It turns out that the email is not true. She forwarded the “myth breaker” to all who Dr. Towner sent the original note to. I love doing things like that, and now Chrissy does it too. That’s true love.
