Props to little Cami for finding this one!
It’s sold out on Amazon right now, but when I find this baby in stock it’ll so be a kitchen staple for us. I love having TJ’s down the street
To put an end to the energy debate in this household about power hungry kegerators and private file servers to host music mixes for strangers abroad…I present the Foggfather with the Kill A Watt power strip. When I first heard about the Kill A Watt products I thought too cool–finally a way to know exactly how much power you’re drawing from any plug-in device at any specific time. I’m sure it’s not the first of it’s kind, given that the earlier Kill A Watt products came out a long time ago. All I know is the next time that we’re shopping for a surge protector, I’ve got this one tabbed in my list of things to buy.

Momma, I’m so proud of you! I’m not there in person to congratulate you, but I’m so incredibly proud of your determination to finish and your accomplishments!
You promised us you’d finish school before your 3 daughters finished college…you teased us and cut it close, but those ladies have class until later this year. Looks like you kept your word and I’m so happy for you! Congratulations lady!
Gorgeous! Click on the image for the printable format.

To the papi (and mami) who raised my 2 amazing sisters and me, to the dad who inspired me to ask why, always, to the dad who taught me that playing with calculators and pencil collections can be just as fun as all things pink, to the dad who’s faster with the gadgets than Gizmodo or Engadget, to the dad who never let me give up, before the end of both degrees…thank you!
To the dad that gave us all an education to be forever grateful for, timed just right so that the last one would finish on father’s day 
Happy Graduation Paula!
Dad, thank you for giving the shirt off of your back for everyone! Thanks for picking the best mom in the world to be by your side. Thank you for being a role model, thank you for being you!
I love you daddy!
Well, really that’s both of you donkeys. Way to go, smooshing your graduations all together. You always wanted to be twins, but sheesh!
I tried to find the most embarrassing picture of you, just to keep it real and all
Camila, you’ll be done done in August—your congrats post can wait
Paula, no matter what any ME department tells you, congrats! Congrats Pulita, you did it…you really did it! You showed CP (and SLO) who’s the boss, even if Jack pooped in your lab (I keeeed, I keeed)! It definitely wasn’t easy, and I’m so so proud of you!
You’ve come a long long way–from Kansas really. My first memory that summarizes the Paula of yesteryear was when our matching bedroom furniture was delivered (Camila was too young to qualify for it) and one set had a scratch on the hutch. I cried and screamed to no end about how ruined my new room was. You, being the cool cucumber that you are, shrugged your shoulders and told mom and dad we could switch. The scratch was nothing to you, and seeing me upset was worse. There’s video of me opening your 22 Barbies at your 5th birthday, typical me, typical you. Me trying to help, convincing myself I was being helpful, taking 27 years to realize I was being controlling and not so nice. It took you these past 23.5 years of your life to finally understand that I had the best intentions…from the days of winnie the pooh and the big yellow teeth, I really just didn’t know how to show you I cared about you.
I’ve given you quite the adventure of tough love over the past 10 years, but I knew you could take it. You were my IM-ing best friend when I needed it most during college, and despite the rougher stages in our communication, we found a way to make it work (IM, who knew?). You graduated from Pres, went on to become an engineer at CP, and even though you said I was your inspiration, I put that idea back in your court and say you were your own inspiration, and you blew any inspiration I might have given you outta the water.
You became ESC president and leader extraordinare in so many ways. You joined a sorority, became house manager up on the hill, and managed to get the offer I patiently waited for and never got from the internet behometh. You raised a fun-loving doggie/son and kept a smile on your face through it all. You excelled beyond your wildest dreams, and always with a smile on your face. You fell down, and got up in your pink heels, tossed your hair aside, and really showed everyone that you would have the last laugh.
I’m so proud of you. I can’t wait to watch you settle into your grown up life. Viva Argentina y Brasil! Congratulations Paula, it’s your moment…cherish it!
Wahoo, I’m so excited to make it to another Cirque show. The last one I went to was a few winters ago in SF, and the closest thing after that was Corteo (horseys!) the day (can you believe that?) that we got Summy.
It’s been a solid 3 years since I’ve been to a Cirque du Soleil show and I’m so excited I could just burst. This show will be at the new National Harbor in MD, so we’ll get a chance to check out this new site as well. Show is not until November, so we’ve got a while to go–we’re talking post-marathon here, woah!
“Kooza tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world.
KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.
The Innocent’s journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster, the Pickpocket, and the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog.
Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA explores themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. The show is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement.”
