Now I know some of you are probably wondering how we came up with the name for our blog. Two of the major state universities in Texas, the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University, share a rivalry that goes back a long time. However, it is not all that unusual in Texas for alumni of opposing schools to meet, fall in love, and get married. This occurrence is frequently commemorated in "house divided" memorabilia that features a Longhorn logo on one half, and an Aggie logo on the other half. Examples can be seen here and here. And yes, I'm aware that similar memorabilia exists for other rivalries, too.
So, in case you happen to be new at this, I root for the Longhorns, and Heather roots for the Aggies. Oh yeah, I hold a Master's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, too. So naturally, the Fighting Illini are my other chosen team.
What can you expect to see here? Pretty much anything goes -- silly things, serious things, random things. Potential topics may include kids, computers, scrapbooking, college sports, travels, food, beverages, and more. Sometimes we may just run across weird random stuff and share it for your amusement. We're packing up the tent and moving cross-country to Oregon soon, so I am sure we'll have lots to say about that as well. We have kids with some special challenges, so we'll probably talk about that some, too.
At any rate, we are happy to do our part to entertain you during the ongoing writers strike. Hey, we figure anything is better than watching old Leno and Scrubs reruns. And our stuff is free, with no commercials!

Yay for blogs! And you're moving to Oregon? We are certainly out of the loop. Looking forward to hearing more soon.
