About Me
- Name: Siren
- Location: Chicagoland, Midwest, United States
I'm a contented back of the packer with a health condition that can make daily life an endurance sport. And I'm trying to keep my sense of humor while losing 150 pounds, one triathlon at a time. The way I see it, the finish line looks great no matter when you get there.
Back of the Pack
BOOK PROJECT

Taking a break from the book project while I work out this whole mommy thing. Hope to get back on track and back to hearing all your wonderful stories next season.
Disclaimer

I tend towards sarcasm and deadpan humor. I also tend to forget this doesn't translate well in a print medium.
If you're offended by something you read here... don't be. I was probably kidding.

I see higher insurance premiums in your future.
Oh my god that's hilarious! I especially loved that he looked at you, then turned up the radio. <3 So cute!!
He would SO get along with Princess! She's always asking to drive, although she would have been listening to Final Countdown, Living on a Prayer or Who Are You. (Thanks to Rockband) He's adorable.
That is freaking hysterical!!!
GORGEOUS!
ROFLMBO!! I was just laughing so hard I think I woke my kids up. That is the best, best,best video I have ever seen. I love when he turned it up. Too stinkin' cute!!
That is adorable! I love the dancing! It's hilarious, because Jonah does the same thing. Whenever we walk past the car, he asks "Drive?" and then throws a fit if we don't let him. He bounces on the seat and fiddles with all the radio knobs.
Maybe it's a boy thing. :)
I totally have to agree with Sharon on that! I just laughed... This is awesome Michelle!!!
