Pinewood derby

The boys and their cars and our favorite ups guy, Brother Perkins (he cut out the cars for the boys) Marcus is holding his 3rd place car "the Pickle" and Stephen is holding his "trenton inspired" skateboard car, didn't place this year though, we thought (ok I thought) that since he won two years in a row that he should give the other kids a chance. Gotta love the Pinewood derby, this year, it actually started on time and ended ON TIME, no kidding, 7:00-8:30!!! WooHoo!!!!

this is the last tag i'm ever going to do!

My favorite shoes right now:
chunky red slippers from walmart
New years resolution:
didn't have any, don't want any (sorry, its been a bad year for me, so i don't see the point)
Are you listening to music right now?
Yes, my favorite Corrs cd
If you had 200 bucks to spend on yourself?
a laptop computer, except those cost way more, so i guess it would be to pay someone to do my family's laundry for as long as possible so i could have a life outside my laundry room. seriously.

My favorite place in the city i live:
there's this great street along the coastline of the hood canal called Shine Rd. I go walking there all the time, the view is stunning!

A book i just finished reading:
Quentins, by Maeve Binchy. Pretty good, not as good as Circle of Friends.



There, can we be all done with tag?

Bonnie-isms....if you've got one, lets hear it!!!

Bonnie is probably never going to read this, so give me your best!

Here is a favorite of mine: "Are your arms painted on?"

Depends on the year.....

Deja Vu

I was french braiding Sara's hair today, and the Woodway High school girls locker room came to mind. I must have spent at least every day of my life there for four years. Braiding other people's hair. I'm not saying it wasn't fun....but, I do have carpal tunnel syndrome. I couldn't get through one half of a braid in Sara's hair without my hand going numb! Good times!

UM YEAH....

So Sara and I were talking and joking around and she laughed at something I said, which is unusual, so I said, "Sara I love you, you get me." And she replied "Mom, there's not much to get."

What a little sassy pants! But she's cute so its ok with me!
