happy national waffle day!

banana-peach waffles make any day shit-tons better.

my mom is having surgery today - please send her some love!

howdy.  i hope this finds you doing grand.

many of you have met my exceptional mom and i knew you would want to know that she is having surgery today - at 11am.  we're just now about to head to the hospital and i wanted to send a quick note with two requests:

1) please keep my mom in your thoughts today and send her oodles of love and well-wishes and all such thoughtful, glorious things

2) please send an email to my mom for when she gets out of the fog - cathyroach1@gmail.com  my mom has grown to love email (and her mac products), so i'm sure that she would be incredibly touched and moved if she were to hear from you via the keypad - feel free to toss-in recipes that you think i should cook her or try your latest joke on her to see if you can get her adorable giggle.

thanks for reading, and here's a short video with much of the same request: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DFVZw2hDbM

again, my mom's email: cathyroach1@gmail.com

much love,

~chris

nb:  we'll know a lot more after the surgery and we'll share the latest when we know it.  xo

greatest donut spot on the planet. this photo is of their roof and the sky that held and coddled the daydreams of my youth.

beautiful multicolored condom dress outta kansas

this gorgeous dress from positive directions in wichita, kansas was made from 2,200 condoms, and might be the second-best use for a condom that i've ever seen...
