Texas SandFest – A Wash

Texas SandFest – a wash
We drove four hours yesterday to get to Port A for the Texas SandFest weekend extravaganza! My responsibilities at Church for this weekend are non-existent due to it also being General Conference weekend. If you’re not familiar with this, it’s when the Prophet and other Apostles speak to the LDS inhabitants [...]

It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday!

It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday!
Current mood:
ecstatic
There are a lot of people out there drinking green beer on my birthday. Not in my honor, of course, but in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. So I will tell you about the interesting people I met today because having my birthday on this holiday gives me [...]

Super Mario Bros. DS
Is there anyone who can help me and finally put me out of misery??? I could totally drive over to Fry’s Electronics and read that dang Mario book without buying it to get answers… but it’s too far away for my lazy self and I just need one little thing answered.

Watermelon Puppy

Watermelon Puppy
Current mood: good
We are doggysitting Chandia (means “watermelon” in Chamorro). She’s a cute little puppy with bulging eyeballs who belongs to my cousin Karl’s girlfriend Jessielene. (Can’t remember what kine puppy so I’ll post a picture of her.) Karl and Jess live about 25 minutes away from us and we hang out occassionally [...]

Da Police!!

Da Police!!
Current mood: busy
The Police are coming to Houston on June 29 and guess who bought tickets? Yep! Josh did… one for me, one for him, and one for his mom (but if she doesn’t want to go, then maybe it’s for you… send comment now for dibs). We’ll probably be like Lorelai Gilmore [...]

Seth was so excited about the Rodeo Parade at his preschool today. We woke up late, and rushed to dress him up with cowboy hat (“It looks funny. I want a brown one.”) and a blue bandana around the neck. We dug out some cowboy boots in the garage (“Those [...]

Scratch that… reverse it
Current mood: bouncy
Tonight’s volleyball game was awesome! Good fun. Good volleyball. We played the toughest team I think we’ll face and we won. Woo-hoo! And bouncy girl? It’s all good. She was calling me by name, looking me in the eye, leaving me my space. So we’ll just call her D [...]

Alpha Female Body Language

Alpha Female Body Language
Current mood: exhausted
So do you ever show up to play ball and meet someone who does not know your place in the world? It’s nothing that they actually say in words to you, but it’s all in the body language.
I showed up late to my game because I couldn’t just throw [...]

Pau Taxes!

Pau Taxes!
Current mood: accomplished
One reem of paper later, I am done with 2006 Taxes! Yes! Got help from my favorite tax guy, Josh’s Dad, and then enlisted help from a CPA (a friend’s husband who likes saving other people money just because he’s a nice guy). He told me about the Sales Tax Deduction [...]

Zofran, Where have you been all my life? 3/1/2007
Zack was puking all night long. Even as I posted my first ever blog and tactfully did not mention it, my seven-year-old son was emptying the contents of his stomach. First on his blanket in bed and [...]
