Ten Things to Smile About

July was a rough and long month in the CA home.  Personally, I would like to dig a very deep hole and bury it.  Let's look at it shall we:  the cat ran away, husband in the hospital, rotten neighbors and their children, being sick, breaking out in psoriasis, and the list goes on and on.  So participating in EmmyMom's Ten things to smile about this month was especially difficult for me, but absolutely necessary!!!

1.  On our first beach trip we had a stow away...a frog!  We used our wagon to carry things, and we figure it was on the wagon.  I never got a picture of the frog, but it was quite the spectacle.

2.  There is an iPhone cover I saw at Wally, and I just might be getting it, it has Perry the Playtpus on it!  I laughed so hard.  Loved it.  My niece was more into the pink one with the lips and hearts.  She just doesn't get the coolness.

3.  Despite losing Midnight, I like to believe someone kind has taken him in.  He's a beautiful cat.  In turn we have taken in two cats.  They are warming up nicely.

Especially this guy--Spencer.  He is very lovey.

4.  Going to see Brave.  A lot of people are trash talking it.  I don't know why.  I thought it was excellent.  My son, who hates girlie things was on the edge of his seat of this movie about a princess!

5.  When Kristin got a shirt that said BAZINGA!  I told her I would take it....I did.  But only long enough to wear it and pose in it.  

6.  Another beach trip.  This time with my bestie!  She has the picture of us.  It was sooo much fun.  Ryan rode a boogie board for the first time ever.  The kid is a natural.  He went in and new what to look for and what was not worth his time.



7.  Riding some waves myself.  It was fun.  I really enjoy the beach.

8.  Celebrating the fourth of July with the missionaries.  I love to give them a home at the holidays.

9.   Despite being in the hospital, the kids made the most of it and cheered up their dad.

10.  Surviving an other wise tough month and finding I did in fact, have things to smile about.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
