Random pictures

Just wanted to share some pictures with you out of chronological order. I took this picture of the house we lived in in San Luis Obispo. I really didn't want the car but it was there and so there you go. The house looks alot different then when we lived there. At that time, it was stucco, not siding. They also did away with the railroad ties in the front yard that my dad put in.
I took this picture one day last month when I was filling my gas tank. The main subject of my picture is supposed to be Flamson Middle School and the construction going on.

I'm sitting at the intersection of highway 46 and Golden Hill Road. I really was trying to get a picture of the concrete being poured for the Lowe's store going in on the opposite corner. If you look carefully you'll see the concrete tube-thingy.

Cody

I know I'm using this picture again but I really like it. Kevin and Cody picked me up from the airport on Monday night. On the way home, I was relating all the time I spent with Jenny and Kevin said "Sounds like you spent alot of time with Jenny". Then I replied "Just hangin' with my girl". Cody came back with "just hangin' with my girl?" So I said "I was just trying to be cool". He zinged me with "that's the problem".

Don't try this!

You're probably thinking to yourself 'why is she showing us a picture of toothpaste with perfume?''. Well, let me tell you a little story. After I returned from Utah (that will be another post, actually several), I was unpacking my cosmetics/sundries case (thank you, Mandi!) so I could get ready for bed. I grabbed my toothbrush and noticed it was wet so I rinsed it off and put it in the toothbrush cup. When I started brushing my teeth a few minutes later, it tasted like perfume! Yuck! I kept brushing, then decided that I really didn't want to continue with that perfume-infested brush so I threw it away and grabbed a new one out of the drawer, loaded it with toothpaste and proceeded to brush. Then I realized that I just wrecked a new toothbrush and gave up and finished brushing. It was really awful and I could still taste the perfume after I rinsed my mouth. I had to buy a new toothbrush! My advice to you if you're ever tempted to rinse your mouth with perfume like Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind", don't do it!!

Austin's temper tantrum

Mitchell and Austin had Friday off from school--something about a teacher's day. Whatever! Well, in the afternoon, Mitchell came to me and asked me if he could go bowling with his friend, Josh. I said it would be okay. Immediately, Austin starting asking me if he could go bowling. "I need to go bowling. I've never gone bowling before." He asked me about 20 times, each time with more emphasis (ie yelling). Finally, he threatened to "go crazy and not eat anything". I didn't reply to that and within 10 minutes he was sitting at the table, eating a snack and no craziness was in evidence. Ha Ha -- what a kid! I'll post pictures later since I'm not on my home computer.

Rachel again

Ok. This happened a couple of hours ago and I've been debating whether I should post it. So here goes. Rachel and Austin were eating lunch today and I went out of the room and heard them making all kinds of racket. When I went back in, Rachel said "He kicked me in the nuts". So I told her she didn't have any nuts. Then she said "he kicked me in the 'gina."

Rachel's thought

I asked Rachel to make her bed this morning and she said "not today. Miss Tiffany said I don't have to today and she's the boss of me." Rachel goes to Miss Tiffany's preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Mitchell's funny comment

Mandi called me last year about March to ask if I would stay with her children while they went on a cruise this year to celebrate their anniversary. So Mike picked me up at the Salt Lake City airport on Friday afternoon and we drove to his house. Then later that afternoon Mike drove us out to the airport to start their vacation. I had just barely dropped them off and gotten on the highway when Mitchell pipes up, "Let's ditch the food they made and go out to eat every night!"
