Merry Christmas, So Cal!

Guess what I drove over today!!

Finally, after all this time, the connector from the 215 to the 60 is OPEN!!!

I couldn't believe it, either!!!

Great Idea!

So, a few nights ago, I was looking online to find out how many calories mashed potatoes had, and I came across a GREAT website. It's sparkpeople.com. It's a FREE weight loss website. I decided to look it over later that evening, and signed up for an account. Tonight I was looking through some of the posts other members have put on the message boards and came across the best idea. Every month, figure out how many pounds you've lost, then donate the same amount of weight in canned goods to your local food bank! That way, not only are you doing yourself good, but you are helping others as well! Plus, it's a good reminder when your carrying that food just how much you've actually lost! I'm going to do this! I'm down about 5 already! Those cans are going to add up and really help someone!!

Best Friends

One of the many reasons I love Cameron is for his ability to talk to anyone without hesitation. It doesn't matter who it is, he will talk. And ask silly five-year-old boy questions. Last night at the hockey game, he got to talk to one of the players, Brad May, who just happens to be one of Bill's favorite players! After the conversation Brad had with Cameron, he just might be the whole family's favorite player!

We got to the rink early to watch the practice, and decided to go stand by the tunnel leading to the ice to see what we could see. Brad May was standing inside the tunnel! So naturally, Cameron decided to talk to him. The conversation when a little something like this...

C: I like the Ducks. Do you like the Ducks?

B: Yeah, little buddy, I sure do!

C: I like the Ducks, too! Your shoes are sharp on the bottom. Are they hard to stand on?

B: No, it's easy. Just like standing on your shoes. That isn't hard, is it?

C: (laughing) NO! It's easy!

B: It's easy to stand on these shoes, too!

What a very, very cool guy! Thanks, Brad May, for making Cameron's (and all of our) night!

Boys Conversation

Today on our way home from Target, the guys had an interesting conversation. Robbie was minding his own business, clicking his tongue when this is what we heard...

R: click-click-click

C: Stop it!

R: What? Don't you appreciate the classics? click-click-click

C: I just want a piece of quiet!

Later on...

R: click-click-click

C: Stop it!

R: Well, I have to do something!

C: Then, why don't you go to sleep?

R: click-click-click

Oh, my guys are freaking GREAT!!

TP on VB

As I was driving down Van Buren to pick Cam up from school, the traffic slowed to a crawl. My first thought was, "Great. Cam is out of school in 5 minutes. I'll never make it." My second thought was, "Why don't people know how to drive without crashing in to each other?" My third thought as I rounded the curve, was, "What the crap??? Who toilet papered Van Buren?" There were hundreds upon hundreds of rolls of toilet paper ALL OVER the roadway! It was awesome!

Curses!

I have finally found a craft that I suck at. Tonight, Krista tried to teach me how to knit. I couldn't do it. Now, I only tried for about a half an hour, but it didn't come second nature. I don't handle that well. I will absolutely try it again tomorrow. I will beat this. I will. You'll see...
