The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'.

I went to Ribfest over the weekend... At one point this is the conversation:

Nathan: "Hey, that guy looks like your uncle."
(We all look at the person he is pointing to.)
Shannon: "Yes, I guess he does. "
Me: "Nuh, uh, that guy looks retarded."
Nathan stares at me, Shannon stares at me... Everyone else stares at me.
Me: "What? he does!" (trying to make the situation better because I just remembered that Nathan's brother is Retarded. I mean Mentally Handicapped. I mean Developmentally Delayed (new politically correct terminology).
I wasn't trying to be offensive, I was just saying that the guy looked retarded and not to compare the uncle to him. Because I thought that would be awkward.
I was wrong.

*for the record, I have worked with many mentally handicapped people, and I love them!*

I saw some interesting blogs that she linked us to. I can't find any on my own though, Everytime I search all I find is people updating pics of their families or foreign language blogs. Blarf!

Also,
I am going to be going on vacation in a couple weeks... I need some suggestions of good books. Please leave a comment if you have any good suggestions. I don't read much but, I enjoy the good ones! Even ones that might make me cry.
