I feel like a total dork for posting this link, but here ya go.

The cheeseburger is pretty good. My Dad says they're singing "spring's coming, spring's coming", which is kind of a stretch if you ask me.

Chickadee is around all winter. I have said for years we should have the Chickadee as the State bird because it sticks around all year and the Robin flies South. Then again 1/2 our retired population run away to the South during the winter as well, so maybe the Robin really does represent the State.

It is a beautiful (though very cold) day outside! The sun is so bright and my kids are starting to make let's play baseball noises.

That's hysterical, it does sound like cheeseburger.

If you're a dork then so am I, I love bird bird songs.

ANOTHER new video outlet is opening up by my job.

The new discount store has been mobbed ever since it opened late last week.

My house payment goes DOWN this year. By one cent.

I'm getting a refund this year where last year I owed both MI and the IRS.
