Saturday Post

My dear friend, and close personal intellectual, Vicus, has said that no one reads or comments on posts that are made on Saturdays.

I proved him wrong by both reading and commenting upon his saturday post.

And now I'm off to post something here myself.

Hubby and I took the girls to the pool this morning and swam their little hearts out. We snuck out of the big family pool to bathe in the hot jacuzzi (no one under fifteen allowed) by ourselves. It felt soooooo good. Both our backs were hurting and the jets combined with the hot water = yum.


I've also been working on our road trip, trying to pare it down even more but I don't think I can, unless I skip California. But then the kids will be upset that we don't dip down into Mexico for a day or so.

So....Mexico or no. The polls are now open. Please cast your votes.

    Go to Mexico. There's a little town south of TJ called Rosarito that's wonderful, and cheap. My 17 year old kid is a Mexicophile because of all of our trips to the Pacific Coast of Mexico for a little surfing.

    I read your blog on Saturday....Your friend was wrong.

    Aloha,

    Jeff

    Welcome Jeff, and thanks for proving vicus wrong. I don't know how he'll handle the embarrassment, but that's life, eh?

    Also, thanks for the tip on Mexico. I'd really love to go there, but am a bit worried about going without hubby. Just me and the kids.

    We shall see.

    I also read it, Pam.

    Haven't been the southern or western states myself, but if I was a kid, I know I'd want to go to Mexico, just to say I had been out of the country...

    (smooch) Thanks Within Without, for reading my blog on a saturday.

    I've been to Mexico a few times and have had a great time there. Since I'm bilingual, it's more fun than not. I'd love to go again, but am thinking on not doing it this time.

    See, I didn't post this until Sunday.
    No one reads anything on a Sunday either, though.
    If it helps, I will be in Blue Springs , Missouri at the end of June. That's not much of a detour for you is it?

    I read it Sunday too. Sorry. I vote a cautious "yes" on Mexico - I've heard too many interesting stories about money-hungry cops.

    Vicus, I'll meet you there. We'll do lunch and you can regale me with photos of you and Tom in your younger, wilder days.

    Naddin, we'll go another time. I've just had to cut the entire California part of our trip due to circumstances beyond my control.

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for

She's Something...

Most of you know that I've got four children. My eldest is seventeen. Oh heavens...how did that happen? Wasn't I just seventeen the other day? I'm sure I was.... Well, she's amazing. I know the majority of mothers have very high compliments to pay their children--and rightly so. However, my baby girl is astounding by anyone's standards. She is going to high school and college at the same time. In high school she's taking mostly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, which also count for college credits. She gets up at five a.m. every morning, goes to Seminary, then goes to school, she works four hours daily as an office manager at Winderemere Real Estate. She speaks Spanish, plays piano, guitar and flute. She goes to the gym daily and it shows. This was her yesterday. This is a picture I just took of her, after getting her braces put on. Now, having said that she is gifted and talented, I should ammend this post to tell you the following. She just got home
