me and my house

in honor of my dad's birthday, i'd like to do a bit of a tribute to the coolest dad around.

ten things that make my dad the coolest:

1) he has what could easily be mistaken as either a sombrero or a ladies straw hat, wears it proudly and calls it his "sun management hat"

2) he is fiercely loyal

3) sometimes he sounds like a hick from alabama (which he in part is) and sometimes he sounds british (no one knows why!)

4) he is one of the best judges of character i have ever met

5) he loves bacon more than some people love their families

6) he has given me more chances and love than i ever deserved

7) his idea of wrapping a present is taking the bag from the store and stapling it shut

8) he still dances with my mom in the kitchen

9) he never apologizes for being himself, no matter what other people think

and finally....

10) his new restaurant has a BLOG (yeah, i barely believed it myself)
