Word Clouds

I was in a creative mood today and wanted to create a card for Matt. I found a cool web program and created this fun word cloud with the lyrics from Faith Hill's song "Breathe".

In Honor of Karen Kaatz

I took a suggestion from the list submitted by my friend Karen and went braless for a day (a work day)!  

Having pectoralis minors, I seriously don't think anyone could even tell! But, I sure was a lot more comfortable today!

Toxic Taste

Sophie had me try a new candy today, Toxic Waste. Similar to a War Head, this candy is extremely sour! My tongue went into shock. 

To Fridge or Not To Fridge

We came back from Cabo to find our fridge had burned out...not a great way to return home.

So, after work, Matt and I went and bought a new refrigerator. We were amazed that we all (girls included) agreed on one fridge (we had been fridge shopping a year ago and gave up because we all fought). We bought it, scheduled the delivery and headed home in celebration.

Then we measured! To make sure it would fit, we remeasured the cabinet and realized it was at least 6 inches too deep and would stick out into the kitchen.

Matt said he could live with it. I could not. For the first time, I didn't second guess myself and insisted we cancel our order. 

This is the first time I have ever bought something so expensive and returned it the same day. It is also the first time I listened to myself and didn't just "live with" it.

"Awesome Possum"

My life in the South is now complete! I have finally seen an ALIVE (keyword here) possum on the road! All I ever see is dead road kill, but this morning (3AM) I saw a living, breathing possum crossing the road as I served not to hit him.

I am happy to report both rodent and driver survived and are OK!

Now, I just want to see one hanging in a tree by its tail!

Gone with the Wind

Today, I embarked on a life goal I have had since I was a teen. I have always wanted to read the Southern epic Gone With The Wind. For some reason, I always find something else to read. I picked up a copy in the Cabo airport to read on the way home. Since it is over 1400 pages, I think I will be reading this novel for a while.

I have already realized I have A LOT to learn about the South!

Local Transport

Whenever we travel to foreign land, Matt and I like taking local transportation to experience the real culture. Today, we took the girls on the local autobus to downtown Cabo. The trip was long, hot, but possibly the highlight of our vacation!
