BRIEF SUMMARY OF A BUSY WEEKEND

A VERY SHORT UPDATE ON MY QUICK WEEKEND TRIP HOME TO ST. GEORGE:

THE PRINCESS IS CHOSEN FOR SENIOR BALL ROYALTY

HER SNAZZY DATE ERIC

MY FAVORITE PICTURE... IT MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME.  HANNAH TAUGHT HER DATE AND INSISTED THAT HE DO HER FAMOUS "TODDLER'S AND TIARA'S" POSE (sorry Lissi, I sold you out on your trashy show you love) SO DARN FUNNY IN REAL LIFE, TRUST ME ON THIS!

THE PRINCE TURNS 15! I LOVE THIS BOY, BUT HE IS IN THAT VERY SASSY AGE (imagine 3 year old, but bigger body and more emotion) HE IS A WITTY AND VERY ENTERTAINING KID. INFACT,  HIS GREAT HUMOR MAY BE THE ONLY THING SAVING ME FROM GIVING HIM TO A KIND AND PATIENT FAMILY UNTIL HE IS OUT OF THIS SASSY STAGE , OR UNTIL HE TURNS 30!

ON A SIDE NOTE, CAN I JUST SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THE ART AT THE SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT "A TERMINAL"? THESE MAKE ME SMILE WHEN I SEE THEM. I THINK THEY ARE SO CLEVER. THE BRAND NEW TERMINAL IS GORGEOUS WITH SOME PRETTY COOL THINGS OF IT'S OWN, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS VINTAGE LUGGAGE AND CART  SCULPTURE THAT I ADORE!

WHEN BIKER CHICKS GO BAD

If you have never met my amazing friend Jill, you are missing out! I can't tell you how much I love this girl.  As you can see, she is one tough biker girl. She and her loveable husband Tom have not one, not two but THREE Harley Davidson motorcycles. They met in a Harley club. That's right, I roll with Harley gang members!

They go on some pretty cool rides. Jill is maybe 5'2". Don't let her size fool you, she is pure sassy! But she looks sweet on her Hog doesn't she?

If that doesn't make you think she is tough, she ALSO has TWO pit bull dogs! (watch out, they will lick your face off) Yeah, don't even mess with me, I have rough friends that can take care of business if needed.  Did I mention she is a very loyal friend and would do ANYTHING for me?

Jill is always willing to go on adventures with me. This is us when we did the "Mothball Fleet" tour in the Bay. She loves doing new things as much as I do and is always up for anything. She is as comfortable shoe shopping as she is on her bike. This gal is versatile!

But I must warn you, when biker chicks go bad, this is what happens.......This morning when I was still in my  PJ's before church, I hear hopping up my stairs, then a tapping on my bedroom sliding glass door. Who is it? My pal Jill bearing a basket FULL of Peeps and other goodies including "raisinettes" (our candy of choice that we sneak into the movies to share) She is a clever one. She found socks that match her lovely footy PJ's and put the socks over her "reindeer ears" and taa daa..instant Easter Bunny! She is a genius! But more importantly she is one of those friends that make life so much better because they are part of it! Thanks for making my day Jill!

GIRL'S WEEKEND

Weekend may have included shopping for Victorias's Secret "Bombshell" Bra

Perhaps it even included some muu muu shopping.

Without a doubt it included taking strange pictures as if we were some 13 year old girl's and laughing ourself's silly!

All while being uplifted on so many levels watching General Conference! 

Thanks so much to these beautiful, silly gals that let me tag along and love me and all of my craziness! What ever would we do without girlfriends? We met "halfway" in San Luis Obispo (halfway meaning 2 hours from Bakersfield and 5 hours from Davis) But so worth the trip for good laughs, prudent advice, great food and much needed catching up! My sould is rejuvenated so many ways! Can't wait until we meet again!

WHAT A PAIN IN THE NECK!

I have been off work since I left early Tuesday. My neck is in spasm. This has happened before. It just randommly happens and it and it is excruciating!

The wise Dr. gave me muscle relaxants and pain pills. Oh sweet relief! She also said I should not return to work until Monday. This is a good thing. I can't function. I can't drive! It hurts to brush my teeth but I do it anyways!

I am going now to get acupuncture to help out as well.

I feel worse without the comforts of home and family! I am bored. I am in pain.  So what do I do? I watched "You've got mail"... twice

I also subscribed to Hulu so I could watch some of my favorite shows. I am inspired by this one! INSPIRED I TELL YOU!

So inspired that I mindlessly ate half a box of these while watching up to season 7. Now I am in pain AND feeling like a loser!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

WOO HOO! The Deal is on..(yep, I have a thing with drug testing lately!) And honestly who couldn't use a Groupon for HIV and STD testing! Buy one for yourself and for your good friend too! Only in San Francisco right?

This one has me scratching my head! (nothing else seems to be scratching so I will not purchase above Groupon) but this just in news kills me! Snoop Dogg at the Dixon May Fair (Solano County Fair) Who in the world thought it would be brilliant to bring this to the stage?

And if the above two items don't make you say ENOUGH... Martha Stewart at the Plaza Hotel dining with her dog (AT THE TABLE) Seriously? You can't make this stuff up!

'HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH'

I LOVE the fact that even though Hannah and I live almost 500 miles apart right now, she still manages to copy what I am wearing! (OK, obviously hers is a tad smaller) but exact same colors! When she lived with me, we would consistently come out of our rooms wearing the same color combos! We got a really good laugh at this one! 

I forced them to go on the Ferris Wheel. I wont lie, it scares the pee out of me practically! 

CURIOUS! Each cart has it's own barf bags!

I thought this box of action figures were adorable so I bought them. They started annoying each other and fighting so I gave them to Shawn to take home! YESSSS!

It is a good thing that we ate AFTER this demonic ride.  It honeslty makes
 me sick just to watch. Notice Chan and Park were the only ones tough enough to go on these!

I must have done something good as a mother because when I made the family pause to watch the flag ceremony, they all actually said it was great to watch! Ahhh! 

Hands down, the best bargain in this happy, overpriced place! The smoked turkey leg is $8.99. Don't be a fool and buy one for each person in the party, one will feed four people! I am pretty sure that if you ate one yourself, the above mentioned barf back would not hold everything in your stomach if needed. Just saying!

My family is always good to indulge me and take me to my favorite place "The Crab Cooker" in Newport Beach! Heaven! Chandler was not disappointed in his soft shell crab. This boy is a seafood fanatic!

We had a very nice Disney getaway! It does make me feel old though because I can't do all of the rides like I used to! I get rather queasy and had to sit a few out. Sort of a bummer that all of Disney Adventure was torn up for renovations to the "new main street" . We saw the designs they have for it and it will be rather amazing. One interesting tidbit we found out about when we were there: "Dapper Days" ! (note to self find very cool dapper dress and go with Lissi to next Dapper Days)  People everywhere were dressed up in these amazing retro suits and dresses. They looked adorable! They said this is a thing they do once a year and people come dressed to the 9's! It was fun to watch their enthusiasm and effort!

INTRIGUING $ STORE FIND

I never fail to be amused by what things can be found in the dollar store. I count it as a lifesaver when I am looking for things to use in my Wolf Den for games, crafts and even snacks. When I went to grab a few things tonight, this little beauty stopped me in my tracks! Of course I had to take a picture because this for some reason struck me as disturbing, funny and wrong all at the same time! The UCD students buying their pregnancy test looked at me as if I had been smoking some weed myself, but it was too good not to capture! So if you ever need one of these, remember your neighborhood $ store (really, why would you buy it anywhere else?)
