The Latest Diet Craze?

Oddest PG News Story

The title of this news article was: "Pregnant woman uses train toilet, baby slips out".

So in India, on an Indian train (for those that have seen the Amazing Race you will know that Indian trains are pretty nasty) a pregnant woman goes into the bathroom. While going to the bathroom, the baby falls out. This poor premature infant than falls through the toilet bowl which empties right onto the train track. Are you with me?

The baby is found on the tracks, uninjured. Since she was born 2 months early, she is now in an Indian hosptial in intestive care.

I wonder why this scenario was not discussed in any of the pregnancy classes I have been to? The full story can be found here.

Happy Birthday Uncle Will (1 Day Late)

Hope you had a great day and please forgive me for being a day late! I chose this sandcastle cake because one of my most frightening moments and favorite stories of Uncle Will was on the beach. Uncle Will buried me in the sand while I was standing up. My arms were down to my side (so I could not dig) and he buried me up to my neck! I was so scared......one of the few times in my life that I have been claustrophobic.

Thanks for the memories, Uncle Will ;) Love You!

Little Purses

As most of you know, I hate purses. Of all purses, I hate little purses the most. If I carried a purse it would be a large purse that I could keep tons of stuff in. One year ago today, in New Orleans, I took my first photos of little purses:









This last weekend, I was at a party and there was this chick who wouldnt put her little purse down. She carried it over her arm and the purse was basically in her arm pit all night. I was fascinated and wanted to question her about why she couldnt put it down but instead I just took pictures of her so I could blog about it:

Elizabeth happy (she's so adorable!) and Elizabeth not so happy

It's A Small World

The "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyland closed on January 22nd for a nine month refurbishment. It is scheduled to reopen in late November. In the meantime remember, it's a world of laughter and a world of tears, it's a world of hopes, it's a world of fears....(How great is that?)

it's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fears
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

Arizona Governor Dies In Office

Did you know that two Arizona governors died while in office?

One was Sidney (oh my) Osborn and the other was Wesley Bolin

What Happened 13,522 Days Ago?

Two exciting things happened that day. (1) Apollo 14 was launched (2) Carol Ann and Joel Charles were married. Yes, it's true, my parents have been married for 13,522 days.

13,522 days is a really long time.......I wonder if I were able to divide these days by lets say: How many were happy? How many sad? How many were spent on vacation? How many were spent at kids sporting events? How many days was mom pregnant? (OK, I can guess on that one and I am guessing: 1710 days-oh my).

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! Let's celebrate again on May 28, 2008 when you will be married for 13,622 days! (Hey James, 100 days until your birthday!!!!!!)

What? Me Worry?

I worry about a lot of things. As you can see, running out of gas is not one of them.

Happy Valentines Day

BJ's Brewhouse

Today, I had lunch with Rachel (My wonderful sister and also famous for the Rachel Made Me Do This blog) at BJ's. When I sat down and started looking at the menu I told her about my BJ's ordering dilemma.

Everytime I go to BJ's I order the same thing:

Small Pizza, Half Great White (Rich and creamy Alfredo sauce with garlic, fresh Roma tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and grilled chicken breast) and Half Spinach Artichoke (A rich, creamy medley of spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese and mozzarella topped with fresh Roma tomatoes, fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.)

Here's the problem. I decided 3-4 trips ago that I really didn't like one half of this pizza and everytime I go to BJ's I can never remember which half I don't like so I end up ordering the half and half again. The last time I had the half and half was the night Elizabeth born (Might I add it was very convenient that Becca had the C-Section because we were able to go out to a lovely dinner right after she was born) anyway, I remember specifically saying at the table I was never going to order *this* half of the pizza again and next time I was going to order a whole of *this* half. It's two bad, again I can't remember which one I didn't like it......or for that matter, which one I love.

Today, I branched out I got something different....Next time I will order the half and half.

Today, There Is No Eggroll

Israel's Asian restaurants protested today by serving no egg rolls. Apparently, the Israeli government plans on doing away with foreign cooks and hiring Israeli’s to cook in Asian restaurants.

Before I go on with my thoughts on this I have to share with you the quote that made me want to blog about this story. The head of the Israeli Ethnic Restaurant Organization made the following statement to the media "Today there is no egg roll and in two weeks time there will be no sushi and noodles." LOL! A lawyer for the Israeli's has countered that the Israeli's can easily make Asian food and issued the following statement "Everyone can make Chinese food it's not impossible to learn"

For some reason, the thought of Chinese food in Israel made me crack up. Here, in America, we have everything, every type of food imaginable is available to us. Why would I think that if I went to Israel I would only have Jewish food options? I guess that’s what I thought.....weird huh? I mean McDonalds is everywhere..... but Sushi in Tel Aviv just seems weird.
