bomb factory

I have a knack for picking great places to live and work.  Have you heard about the bomb factory house in San Diego?  Specifically Escondido, roughly a mile from my school?  Well if you haven't, here are some nice links for you.  We are on lockdown tomorrow while the house burns.  With no heating or air-conditioning.  Should be pretty awesome.

'Bomb Factory' Evacuations

Burn to Proceed

party dress

I am a little sad I don't get to go to a fancy holiday party this year.

Two years ago my work party was at this swanky hotel downtown.

Last year it was a dinner cruise around the bay.

I don't have a reason to wear a fancy party dress this year.

 I just might pull a Monica/Phoebe/Rachel and get dressed up at 

home and have my own party - for 1.

*Minute 1:07 is where it gets really funny.*

i made it!

That's right kids, I made it to my first holiday break.  And not a moment too soon.  I've been 90% unproductive since Friday at 4:00.  A lot of laziness with the intention to stop being lazy.  Intention is worth something, right?  I am finally emerging from my laziness.  I even set a goal for one thing I need to accomplish everyday of vacation.

• Yesterday - clean my room - CHECK!
• Today - finish the home work that was due two weeks ago - I'll do it when I'm done blogging (master of procrastination).
• And that is it so far...baby steps people.  Baby steps.

One more thought before I get moving on that homework....  Last week in my Primary class we talked about service.  Today one of my Primary kids raised his hand and said, "I like to sit on my sister's head and fart."  Apparently we need to go over what it means to "serve".  He is probably my favorite.

Good night!!

ks;m,cxx (translation=i'm tired)

tired.  oy.  shoulda known sitting down would be a bad move. what a long week (already). two more days then a holiday. phew.  a really un-fun way to start a week? a 2.5 hour meeting where you say the words, "your child falls far below the average range for his age." bah.  someone bring me a icy treat of some kind. i will give you a million bones.  or an iou. either way i'm good for it.

'take yo money' joe's

Want to know what happens when you go to Trader Joe's with out an agenda??  This is what happens...

You, or maybe just me, begin throwing anything that sounds good, into your cart.  And get a look at what I came home with (among other things)...Sparkling Clementine Juice, Brie, Peach Blueberry Panna Cotta...and a bajillion pounds of beef....CLEARLY all necessities.

Team Dan & Sarah

September 18th was a beautiful day for Team Sarah.  Our Sarah got married!!  So happy I was able to make it.  Team Sarah has been cheering for Team Dan & Sarah for a looooong time.  Congrats Dan & Sarah!  And as Candy Apples would say, "Welcome to the Wolf Pack Dan."

Getting ready for the big day!  

This made me laugh, Candy looks like she is palming a basketball.

Congrats, love you guys!

                                              

birthday #22

I've made the decision to start over with my twenties.  I feel good about it.  To welcome birthday #22 (again) I took a trip to Utah.  Lucky for me my birthday landed on a holiday so I was able to take a long weekend.  It all started with an upgrade to First Class on my flight out there.  Hard to top First Class but things only got better from there...

Friday:  Meals on wheels at Sarah's - Friday night is the best!

Saturday:  Boating, after boating enchiladas at Loco Lizard, Birthday dinner with Sandy & Sarah at Donovan's (which included one of the funniest comments ever made).

Sunday:  Baby Andrew's blessing & family gathering.

Monday:  Breakfast crepes by Dad, brunch with Danielle at Ruth's, pedi's with Sandy & Sarah

....thanks everyone for making it a great birthday weekend!  Love to all.

Nice shot.

I have mad skills...or maybe I can just get up...
