Day Light Savings Bloopers

Okay, it happens to someone every time. Who was it this time? Who got up late, showed up late, etc. I just went to bed late forgetting I was losing an hour of sleep. That was obnoxious in the morning.

The best story I know of is the missionary from Arizona that came to help out at the church I was working for and somehow made it through school w/o knowing the rest of the country adheres to DST. He showed up an hour late to the morning service and it took us 1/2 the day to convince him that everyone actually turned their clocks forward b/c our calenders told us to and it wasn't an elaborate prank on his behalf. it was classic!

What other great DST stories are out there?

What ever happened to the Slurpee?

Tonight I had the biggest craving for a Slurpee but couldn't find one. We actually drove to a handful of places and couldn't find them. I found Freezies and other wannabees, but not the Slurpee.

You know what I'm talkin' about! The kind you would rummage through your couch to find extra change just so you could rush to the closest gas station for a cup of multi-layered refreshment. You'd find the biggest cup you could and then place the dome top on and fill it until Splurpee oozed out the top. Then you could eat it with the coolest straw/spoon thingy that was only slighty annoying when you got to the bottom and the spoon got in the way of the straw function. But they were syrupy and crunchy and they'd give you the best sugar high. It would hit the spot every time.

Now all I can find are those ridiculous Icies. Only half sweet and filled with weird foam or air so you are kinda burping for an hour after you're done - not really burping and accomplishing anything - just kinda burping. It's just not worth it.

Where did all the Slurpee's go?!?! I miss the Slurpee. If anyone knows where they still exist - contact me immediately.

Happy Birthday Elliot!

Elliot has had lots of fun celebrating his birthday this year. Just wanted to share some pictures. The first party is at my mom's house with my parents and Eric's parents.


















The second party is at Chuck E. Cheese's with the mom's group gang.
Thanks to anyone and everyone to made this year special! We love you!

Will You Marry Me?

Four years ago today Eric made a surprise visit down to Mill Valley from Redding and sent me on a scavenger hunt all around my campus that ended at Pelican Bay - a restaurant on the water in Sausalito. I walked in and was told the man at the bar was waiting for me. I looked over and saw a hairy, older Asian man drinking beer... the waiter laughed and apologized when he realized Eric had been seated and I was NOT excited to see the guy chugging beer at the bar. Eric gave me the best hug ever, bought me crab cakes, and so sweetly and nervously got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Less than five months later we were married in beautiful Kauai. Less than a year later we found out I was pregnant. Nine months later Elliot was born and added to the joy that is our family. And next week we'll get to celebrate two years of baby kisses. What a beautiful life.
