day 244

I don't know why he thinks this, but he does. Noodles + Prego. Apparently that's all it takes to please the boy.

day 243

I hate the weeds that grow in the cracks...

day 242

Kevin's been in Utah... Zoey misses him.

day 241

GOOD MORNING! There was a Sigalert on the westbound 60 in Diamond Bar this morning. It took me 3.25 hours to get to work. The cherry on top: Kevin and I had switched cars. I sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours driving a stick shift. Ugh!!

day 240

Unfortunately, this picture didn't come out as well as I hoped. My friend Laurie and I treated ourselves to a {late} birthday lunch (Laurie's is the day before mine) at Alicia's Cafe in Brea. This place has the tastiest food EVER! You can't tell what's in this yummy salad, but let me tell you - it was fantastic: in addition to the lettuce there was sliced dried dates, honey-roasted peanuts, BBQ chicken, jicama, and goldfish crackers. Totally unlikely combination, but delicious. It was topped off with a fresh poppy seed roll, fruit, and homemade cookies.

day 239

I got this cute birthday hat from Jenniffer. Since Connor's birthday is coming up, I offered to let him wear it. He said that unless the birthday hat had wolves or dogs on it, he wouldn't wear it.

day 238

Boring: Doing the laundry
Exciting: Finding $3 in the laundry
Ahhhh... Simple pleasures.

day 237

She spent an hour in the bathroom getting this hair-do just right, then kicked the Taylor-No-Camera attitude into high gear.

See HERE for more.

day 236

I love the extended birthday celebration. I got together with My Girls for some pedis, food, and a movie. While watching the trailers I was glad to see Mr. Bratt.

Dyana's take HERE.

day 235

My friend Marni is moving {sad}. I offered to watch her kids while they packed up the truck. Cutie-pie Dallin hammed it up.

day 234

day 233

It kind of looks like she's dancing...

day 232

For the Young Women's activity tonight we [the leaders] shared the embarrassing photos from our youth, along with some words of wisdom. We've been there, we've done that...

day 231

Another contribution by Kevin. He handled {the first day of school} today.

day 230

Today is Kevin's birthday. Do you think he'd let me take a picture of him? Of course not. So, I've had to resort to scanning in old pictures... Go here for some big versions.

day 229

A bird's eye view of my neighborhood. Mark flew himself and Peter into our local airport today. Once they got here he took me up for a ride. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, though he did freak me out once when he did a dip. I can't believe my little brother is a pilot!

For more go here, here, here, and here.

day 228

Not an exciting shot, I know. It's another one of those "Oops, I need to take a picture today" shots. But I kind of like how it got both the sign and the dashboard in there together. Anyhoo....

I'm leaving Fullerton after a night of dinner, movie, and gut-busting laughter with Kate and Debi.

day 227

THANK YOU for all the birthday phone calls, text messages, e-mails, and gifts! It made this day a great one!

day 226

Alexa stopped by with this little treat from all the Beehives. I had to open it, even if it was a day early. I love these girls!

day 225

Combined YM/YW pool party tonight... Just look at these lovely ladies!
