Path

I love this picture. Although Robb took this from one of his previous treks, it accurately shows the route we took. The path is on the mountain on the left. I'd say that's about an hour's worth of walking. We could be down by the river in a couple of hours, or at the top in the next couple of hours. Up and down - nice metaphor for life. :)

Snow Days lead to funny conversations

Gage asked me if God gets gas.

Gage and his friend Rowdy (his real name - very cool b/c he is so well-behaved) were having an intense conversation in the backseat while I was driving. Because I was driving, I was invisible. Which I love. Rowdy, "Gage, what has been the most important thing in your life?" (me lol but silently)
Gage, completely serious, "Universal Studios"

Making Pork Tenderloin with Sour Cream sauce with Colton. Had extra mushrooms. Wanted to show him how delicious sauteed mushrooms taste. He is stirring them. "just like cooking squirrel meat!". Yay me.

2009! Yay! Gage told me I was acting like a total man. I was just sitting there reading the paper! I told him that I had not grown hair on my face or chest yet, so I'm pretty safe. Gage, "Mom. Telling you that you are acting like a man is the highest compliment you can give someone." *sigh*

Catching up on the news

Wow!! Carrie Fisher looks BAAAAAD. Where oh where has Princess Leia gone? Why is she sitting in the chair that way on the Today Show? Did she have a double amputation?

Governor Rod Blagojevich is my boyfriend. You cannot have him. Any man who says the word 'sneakily' rocks my world.

I am laughing at the fireman who told police he had 'accidently driven his vehicle into his house.'
If I could name the number of things I had ACCIDENTLY done....
