I suck at this blogging thing.Thursday, February 02, 2006
I really need to start updating this thing more often. Seeing as how I haven't in over 8 months. Bleh.
Ed and I went to Chicago for Thanksgiving. We left on the Saturday and came back on Wednesday. It was great. I love Chicago!! It's such a clean, beautiful city. We went to the planetarium, the Field Museum, Shedd Aqarium, Navy Pier, and the University. It was a great trip. Pictures will follow (eventually).
Work is going ok. Boring at times, but Lynzy and I try to make it as fun as possible.
What else? Since the last update, we got a chinchilla (named Ziggy) then another that we named Bowie. Unfortunately Ziggy was old and hadn't been properly cared for before, so we only had him two months before he died. But Bowie is doing great. Pictures will follow (eventually).
Other than that, not much is new. I'll try to update this thing more often, in case there's anyone who actually reads it still. If there's someone reading this, leave comments so I know it's not all in vain!

From Yahoo! News:Locklear Files for Divorce From Sambora
After 11 years of marriage, actress Heather Locklear has filed for divorce from rocker Richie Sambora,
her publicist said Thursday.
"This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time," CeCe Yorke said in a statement.
Locklear, 44, first gained fame in 1981 as sexy Sammy Jo Dean Carrington on the TV series "Dynasty."
In the 1990s, she took on the role of cold-hearted Amanda Woodward on TV's "Melrose Place" and played mayoral love interest Caitlin Moore on "Spin City."
Sambora, 45, is a founding member and lead guitarist for the rock band Bon Jovi. He has also released two solo albums.
Locklear and Sambora were married in 1994. Their daughter, Ava Elizabeth, is 8.
Locklear was previously married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.
