Blood Diamond

In college when I got my ear pierced, I remember I wanted a diamond stud for it. I never got one, and after watching "Blood Diamond" on dvd last night, I am kind of glad that I never did.

The girls had their soccer practice last night and it was really cool to watch them, J. loves playing defense and N. still has a very powerful kick with her left foot. I love that N. is a lefty.

Mom's visit is good so far, and tomorrow I think we both are going by bus to a parade with N&J.

I have been listening to the new Black Rebel Motorcycle cd lately in my car and it sure does sound good played loud, very bluesy and raw with great guitars.
