Did my zip code change?

I swear that I did not move! And I am sure I did not move to Oakland.
But it sure looked like it when I was driving a few blocks away from my house by a middle school and what did I see, 2 pairs a shoes strung around telephone wires. Apparently people do not realize what town I live in. Stuff like that does not happen here. I was pretty disappointed when I saw that so, the next day I called the power company to have them remove the shoes.

Soccer

I went to my cousins high school soccer game tonight. And was shocked when the soccer players started changing their shirts in the open. Did I mention the soccer players are girls. I asked what was going on and the answer I got was "oh they all do it". And some people have justified it by saying that the girls are wearing sports bras. When did our society start allowing girls to change their tops in the middle of the public?
I received my answer while typing this blog. A clip of the USA women's soccer team started playing. It was the clip of the lady scoring the winning goal and then she runs back to her teammates while taking off her top.

Why I love SpRiNg

Spring is my favorite season EVER!

Flowers=Colors

I love it when the flowers begin to bloom. I love taking care of the flowers. But I do not love planting them. Good thing I have people to help me with that.

Clouds=Thunderstorms

I love thunderstorms. Unlike Sandy who freaks out when it thunders.

Afternoon=Naps

I love late afternoon naps, especially when it is sunny outside and you can leave the windows open and hear all the noises outside (I am getting sleepy just thinking about it).

Park=Baseball Games

I love living right next to the park. There is a high school baseball game there almost every night. I love hearing all the sounds from the game.

Cesar=Pack Walks

We finally found a dog that Sandy can almost stand to be around!

Last but not least-I got to type this post outside.

Forks anyone?

Ben and I had a little fun last night and decorated Vivian's house for her birthday. It felt like we were in high school again. Running around the house making sure no one was awake.
Ben decorated her car and filled it with 50 balloons, while I spelled out 50 with the forks in the front yard.
Yes Vivian, now you know........it was us.

Call me 2 shirt

Today I was talking with a co-worker and my boss about some questionable clothing another associate was wearing. When the conversation turned to what I was wearing.

Me: "This shirt looks like it is 2 shirts but it really is one"

Boss: "You always wear 2 shirts"

Me: "Yes, I do not like all my junk hanging out"

Boss: "You have to wear 2 shirts right"

Me: ?? look on my face

Boss: "Does that shirt count"

Me: ?? "What"

Boss: "Don't you have to wear 2 shirts, I thought you had 2 always wear 2 shirts as part of your religion"

Me: "NO!!"

Boss: "Ohhhhh (confused look)"

Me and my co-worker started busting up laughing! It became the joke for the rest of the day. Just call me 2 shirts.

This beats the time I jokingly told my brother that Mormons do not use ice.

Brother: "Where is your ice"

Me: "Mormons do not use ice"

Brother: "??????????"

Me: laughing "Do you believe me"

Brother: "I don't know?"

Me: "I am just joking!"

Brother: ????????

Me: walked away laughing

Brother: still unsure about ice

Anti-Cancer foods (Word of Wisdom)

I was watching the Dr Oz show and he was talking about foods that can either prevent/slow the growth of cancer. Usually when you see something like this on TV, people are pretty skeptical. But, it really got me thinking and I am determined to change our diet.

Gardner's (Howells) family has a history of cancer and anything I can do to keep Ben healthy, even if it means spending a little more money on healthy grocery's, it's worth it.

We have known some people who have gotten and beaten cancer in the past couple years. And one thing that they had in common was they all ate healthy. So, there must be something behind the Dr Oz list.

By the way....don't you think that list looks a little like the Word of Wisdom?

I got so motivated after watching the show that I wanted to start right away. So I made a healthy salad. Unfortunately, I forgot my lettuce/vegetables were about 3 weeks old. I know what you are thinking but everything looked fine. Lets just say, I got a little sick. I am looking at this sickness as a full innner body cleaning (they say those are good for you).

Pippin Pictures (kinda)

Pippin is finally over :(
Ben could not take any pictures during the actual performance due to copyright issues.

You have to wear a lot of makeup on stage so the lights do not make you completely white.

Goofing off....

The Girls...
