This is sickinigly cute!

Ok, I can't help it. I got this from my grandma (yes she is hip and does email and surfs the internet). Anyway- this link is so cute you have to check it out. And because it is so cute, I had to bring out other cute pictures- hence all the ridiculously adorable crap that follows:) Not that I am against cute, I just wouldn't say it is my thing. Although whenever I use a noise or imitate a noise to describe something my husband thinks its cute. But I think he is the only one.

100000

So this may not seem like a big deal to some of you but it is something that I have been lookng forward to for weeks now- ever since my car hit 90,000 miles. This weekend it finally happened. I was on my way home from second service and was just on my way up the big hill on Twin Oaks Valley. It happened- my odometer went to 99999. So of course I took a picture- I had been carrying my camera around in my car all week so I wouldn't miss the moment- it only happens for one mile! Then I was figured I might as well take a picture when I hit 100,000 miles too, and then 100001 looked neat also so I took a picture of that. I have a silver 2000 Audi A4 that I have owned since June of 2000 back when it had 11 miles on it. Hard to believe that I have now clocked over 100000 miles in my car, in just 8 short years. Anyway, thought I'd share. You'll find find more pictures when I hit 111,111 and it would be really cool if I can get 222,222 out of it- guess I'll find out in another 8 years!

This is it at 99999- click on it and you'll see a bigger image:)

Here it is at 100000, and a picture of me at 100000 and where on the road I was at 100000.

And lastly when I hit 100001. Yes, I am a nerd.

Boogey-Woogey

Cat sent me this great clip of 2 people who know how to jitterbug! If you don't know what that is watch this clip- then I challenge you to ask your grandparents or great grandparents if they used to jitterbug back in the day! Anyway- I love dancing and I always enjoy watching talented people perform! So I hope you like it- I want to sign up for dance lessons:)

Hannah G and I were hanging out yesterday and she showed me this cool game. It is called Phit and it is challenging. I think I was on level 18 or something when she had to leave and I stopped playing- how high can you go?

Cool Poem

I got this sweet poem that I tholught I would share with all of you. Valerie Hansen sent it to me so you can thank her. Take a second to read- definitely worth it:)

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night

You better slow down.

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

The music won't last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly

When you ask "How are you?"

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,

It is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.

I'm back

Wow- it feels like it has been forever!!! Christmas was in Pittsburgh- cold but no snow:( Fun times though. We were back here for New Year's but then gone again on a cruise down the Baja Pennisula! Now I am home and it feels good!

Here are some pictures from our trip!

This is Pittsburgh at night from Mt. Washington. You actually ride this really old incline up to the top of the mountian- it's pretty cool (and yes, I took this picture myself:)

Here we are on Christmas Day. We are in Jim's aunt's neighborhood. It is our tradition to take a walk on Christmas - so we did.

This is us in Cabo San Lucas. The water behind us is the Sea of Cortez. It was a beautiful day in Cabo- but when we were at sea it was cold!

This is La Bufadora- it is a blowhole in Ensenada. There is an underground cave and when the waves come in just right it shoots air out with this funny sound and then blows out water like a geiser! It was pretty neat to see.

Well I'm glad to be home- until next time!
