I WON!! The Potty Story

I went into a church to use the bathroom. The Pastor directed me down the hall, “Pardon the construction, you'll see the door…” Quickly I found it and sat down. I was suprised by my surroundings. I was grossed out that the choir robes were hanging right next to the toilet! I turned to grab some toilet paper and noticed there wasn’t any, on either side! I stood and looked and realized I had just used the new toilet that was to be installed in the bathroom across the hall!

What did I win? A four day trip for two that includes tickets to a live taping of the Jay Leno Show!

Maiden Voyage in our RV

Yes, you read it right. We are the proud owners of an RV!!! Yahoo! We bought it from my cousin Eric and we've spent the past couple weeks getting it ready and LOVE it! It's an oldie but a goodie. Our first overnight trip was to Half Moon Bay and The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz. Everything went pretty smooth for being such rookies. Here are a few pics.

Notice the cool lines i added to the pics to show you the lean action?

I just happen to think this is an interesting story. You will too. Trust me.

Go eeeeasy now....For Women Only (FWO)

WARNING!!! THIS ENTRY IS FOR WOMEN ONLY!! WARNED!! YOU WERE WARNED!!

DON'T DO IT.

Hey girls, how are things. I'm great. I Was just talking to another girl at work the other day and she told me she's part of a study. She raised her arms and showed me her pits. They had the five o'clock shadow thing, BUT one was noticably lighter than the other. The study she's in is being lasered in her pits. I was thrilled to see there is an at home product for permanent hair removal! LASER style!!! Cool! So I bought one and will let you know how it works. It can only be used on certain skin types. It has it's limitations, but I will be anxious to see if it works on the area's it recommends using it on!

This blog entry has NOTHING to do with Kotex but I thought it was a good way to throw any stragglers off our trails!

Oh My Hair....

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, straight or curly, perms for curls, shadows and highlights, low lights or outta sight! If you're just having a day, feeling like no one would care, maybe you should call Rachel at,
"OH MY HAIR!"

Have you met my dad?

great thinker that I am....

Hmmmm...what's on my mind? Well, stuff. Stuff I can't control. Stuff that I want to control. Just when I think I am somewhere...I am not. I'm not depresssed or anything. I am ususally surprised. I think I am more finished than I actually am. Evaluate and re-evaluate. I tend to be a let's just do it kind of person. Unless I don't feel like doing it, then I won't. Unless I am being a weakling and buying into lame guilt. Hmmmm...I'm glad it's Friday. Aren't you?

Waxing instead of worrying...

I was thinking about worrying about something. You know that split second you get, before you exhale and let the tapes roll? For some reason (probably God) I switched gears and decided to do give myself a wax instead. For anyone that's ever used wax, you know it's like hot, sticky peanut butter, that dries quick and comes off with difficulty. It worked. It's kept me busy and will keep me busy for days to come as I continue to pick off dried wax from my fingernails and the drips on the sink and carpet.

We had a little get together at my house last Friday night and it was SO FUNNN!!!!

Pineapple Anyone?

I hung out with Dad all day yesterday. He's struggling with Alzhiemers. He's married to the sweetest lady in the world, has been for more than fifty years. Any who, he made it to the hospital again this weekend. This time he "fell down and can't get up!" only it was my brother and mom calling 911 for help. He's ok. Just confused. So we hung out.

Pineapple King, because just a couple weeks ago, he went to the hospital after eating an ENTIRE pineapple, the rind and core. It made him sick. In this picture I said be goofy, drop your teeth or something, he did!

They left a box of gloves in the room and I told Dad that was dangerous. We gloved him. I told him when the nurses come in to tell them the following:

• I am wearing gloves because I am germaphobic or
• Hold up his hands and say, "I'm ready for my exam !"

Next we cut off the finger tips of his gloves. I gave him the pile of tips and I told him to tell them he bit them off because he was nervous. Well, we took pictures... it was good. Today was not. He doesn't remember all of our laughs, but I do :)

Which road do I take? The one to the Lamborghini

Which road do I take? That was the burning question, even as I was on the road! I went to Pleasanton, to wax the brow and pamper the toes. Then toward home again to pack for an overnight get away; to where? I took the freeway really wondering where? I was thinking Tahoe or Ocean? I decided the Ocean. I drove to Halfmoon Bay, where I spent a GLORIOUS day on the beach. I just wanted to see something bigger than me. The Ocean is God's business. It's beautiful and terrifying at the same time and a great reminder that I am NOT in control, HE is! It was perfect. Fully lathered in SPF 50, I watched families, listened to kids, felt the horses run by, walked on the beach, watched dads dig holes and families play flag football, read and fell asleep. It was perfect.

As you can see, the sky was as blue as can be! Not a great shot. You can see so far up my nose you can almost see what I'm thinking...

It was a perfect day...

I decided to go the City after that and see my neice. On the way I saw something else. I was just outside admiring this brand new Lamborghini having my sister-in-law take my picture when this guy on third floor sticks his head out and offers to unlock it and let me sit in his new car. So from the third floor he unlocked it and I hopped in! WOW! According to some website, it's a 600,000 dollar car! I've never had my backside in or on anything that expensive, I don't think...

BRAND NEW, not even a licence plate yet!

Next time maybe I'll drive this on my perfect day :)

Anyway, what a great day. I left at 8 and got home at 8:30 or so. I saw so many cool things. I sang lots of songs, LOUD. I needed it.

It wasn't just air....

It wasn't just air....I was so glad when when I was in the Emergency Room and they informed me after having a CAT Scan that I wasn't just having bad gas. I had Diverticulits with micro-perferated colon. Now I'm on the road to recovery! The best part of the hospital stay is having gathered more material for my one woman show.

This is RoZ from Monsters Inc.

She's why I prefer to be called Rosalyn!

She's cracked

Mixed Bags!

We are busy denying and preparing to take our girl to Michigan. It's a mixed bag. On one hand I've put off the car rental and hotel resvervations until today...on the other, been trying to think in terms of how to help her pack the maximum....I haven't set up skype. But I have vacuum bag sucked some of her stuff. I haven't sent a letter, but I'm already writing them in my heart.

I'm excited for Jamie. She's going to discover even more than ever. It'll be kindergarten all over again, in a sense. They learn SOOOO much that first year. I'm excited about her growth and independence. I'm excited she's going to live in a dorm with another girl. I'm excited she loves the Lord and wants to go deeper! I am excited about who she is what she will become. Jamie, Jamie, Jamie we're excited! Love from your mixed bag of nuts.
