Six Quirkey Things About Me!!!

#1 I cannot stand when people eat loudly around me. If it is Jason I can say something. But, the other day I was in class taking a test and a friend was crunching on chips. If the crunch from the chips wasn't bad enough I could hear her teeth hitting together. I wanted to run screaming from the room. I know this sounds stupid but listen to the sounds people make when they eat.

#2 I love beets, avocados and boiled eggs. I try and have all of them at least once a day if not more. Also I am the BIGGEST Blue Cheese fan; the stinkier the better!!

#3 I constantly search my hair for split ends. I have tons of split ends and a ton of hair so I don't know why I even look!

#4 Like my sister I have a problem with snot of any kind. I also can't hear about re-feeding, rumination or anything to do with throwing up and swallowing it again. GROSS!!!

#5 I am the worse passenger ever!! If you are driving and make me nervous at all I will pull a Fred Flintstone and put my feet through the floor. Even when I'm not in the car with people I tell them how to drive (I think they call it road rage?!)

#6 I love the color purple and yellow. But did anyone know that brown is one of my favorite colors? I was watching I-Carley with the kids and they said it best. "How could you not love brown? It's the color of gravy." I love brown gravy with everything!! Especially over fried Spam, white rice and a fried egg (all piled high on each other. It's a poor surfers breakfast in Hawaii) and I love it with French fries.

Say Thank You To Our Troops

Hi all!! This is a quick way for you to say, "Thank You," to our troops. My kids loved adding their own messages. Let's help these soldiers know that we haven't forgotten their sacrifices for our freedoms.

Thankgiving 2008

For Thanksgiving this year we went with my In-Laws, Bob & Elaine, to their condo in Incline Village, North Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Jason and I made dinner. It was great except the mashed potatoes were lumpy and there were none of my Dad's rolls, bummer!!
On Black Friday we all drove into Reno and went to Cabella's. It is a sportsman's shop. Joseph and Jacob, not to mention Bob and Jason, were all excited because they were able to see every kind of animal and most fish, even though they were dead and stuffed (some fish were live in a aquarium), up close and personal. We are now calling Jacob 'Ole Dead Eye' after he blew away all of us, and the competition, in the two shooting galleries they have. After that we went to Sports Clips. For those of you who don't know what Sports Clips is, it is a Men's ONLY hair cutting establishment. All of the guys got a haircut, scalp & facial massage, hot towel on the face, neck and back massage, and finally they did their hair. For the boys it was $13.00 for the men it was $16.00. You can't beat that price!! It was unfair to Elaine and I who sat in envy of the boys LOL.
On Saturday night we went to a Christmas Jazz Concert at the Hiatt Hotel. It was wonderful. Jacob danced for two hours until he passed out (fell asleep), and Joseph did as his mother does best, CHAIR DANCED!!! They both kept saying, "This is for Max Mom!" Max loved to dance. And I told the boys that when Max went to heaven that he was dancing the Jig with his wife, Gladys. So in their mind it was their way of saying, "Good-bye," to Max whom they loved so much. We just wanted to say THANK YOU to Bob and Elaine for one of the best Thanksgivings we have ever had!!! We hope that you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!!
