Oh. My. God!
I am Good.
No. make that GOOD.
I am here when I shouldn't be here because well it's Friday but I'm here....my husband and sons are cooking because the only thing I cook is mischief so I thought I'd come on down and while I was here I was doing my favourite Net activity of Googling Stephen Larkham.
There I said it. No strikethrough.
Dammit. Still can't find any semi naked photos...damn that man for having dignity...
Aneewayyy. I found this.
Now...everyone who is close to me in the physical world knows this about me and I think there is one Orbler (JosjZ) who knows this about me.
I was born and bred in England but all my life I have wanted to be a Scot.
(this post's comments sort of explains it)

Edinburgh completed a major coup yesterday when announcing that Stephen Larkham, one of the best known figures in global rugby, is to join them after the World Cup.
They fought off interest from English and French clubs to recruit the play-maker, a key figure in the Wallabies' 1999 World Cup win, and Larkham promised that while he will quit Test rugby following this year's tournament and will turn 33 later this month, he still has a great deal to offer.
Speaking from Sydney via a video-link he also said the quality of Edinburgh's approach had helped set it apart from the others he had received.
"It was easy in the end to come here because it's a beautiful city but also because of the professionalism shown towards us," he said.
However, he also joked that he was more interested in helping Scottish rugby than its rival nations.
"Thinking about coming to England or France, where the other offers came from, I certainly didn't want to help either of them," he grinned.
"I would much prefer to help Scotland."
Without the slightest trace of arrogance he has clearly recognised the major role he can play in helping Scottish rugby catch up with the leading rugby nations.
"Edinburgh weren't the highest bidder and we certainly shopped around to find the best environment.
I know there's a lot of culture and history in Edinburgh, but hopefully what I can bring is a winning culture," he added.
"Hopefully, I can bring a few ideas that have been successful and of all the nations in Europe, Scottish rugby has the most potential to grow and can do so with the help of experienced players from around the world."

I mean, it's okay to be arrogantly humble, but to be arrogant, and associate with the arrogant? Come on now.

"That is sooo funny!!!" my hubby and Kaitlyn LOVE cooking, so i just let them have at it. i cooked all meals for my first marriage, for ten whole years, and then the firts six months this hubby and i lived together. Then i got cancer and he took over. Thats when i learned how much he LOVED to cook and taht he was good at it. i got use to him doing it. it was nice after all those years of cooking every meal. now, i'm kind'a missing cooking BUT even though my kids are neat and all, if you oepen the cabinets, they tend to get a little of a mess. instead of being a hard ars on them and making myself and them crazy about me being a little OCD about things being perfectly in there place, i decided i'll cook when they all live in their own homes. <grins> Then everything will be perfectly in it's place. <soft smile> now, i'm not so anal about it that all cans have t be perfectly placed. but like items togteher. with them, it is not always like that. when they look for something, they move things from one shelf, leaving it on the next. <shrugs> of well.
