Future Shot Putter

So...yes...when I was in high school, I participated in Varsity Track & Field. I did do a few running events, such as the 4 X 100 relay and was the anchor, 100 meter dash etc. But I loved my field events...and participated in shot put & discus. I even had a chance to participate in State CIF finals. Well...this evening I had a great reminder of what a good thrower is, and it came in the form of a 35 inch tall, 21 month old, brown haired toddler. She has a pretty good arm when she throws...with a killer aim. Which I now realize can be very DANGEROUS. Tonight's participating Projectile was this:

So Yeah...I was watching the TV and all of the sudden I see this projectile coming at my face and it was too late. It hit my mouth & I ended up with a little split lip. So...tonight's lesson was on knowing the difference between Soft objects & Hard objects. Now I have to put some Vampish red lipstick on to cover up the wound. Great. What a happy day.

NEW MOON....The countdown begins!!!

Don't forget to shut off my playlist to listen to this awesome trailer!

So Long Fish Tank....

Well, after about 8 years, Jason wants toget rid of our 55 gallon fish tank. It has provided some serenity in our home. It's a pretty nice tank, acrylic and easy to care for, but we wanted to expand our office space so Jason and I can have our own computer (which will bring us harmony in the office). Jason has been patiently waiting for the fish to die off one by one....I have a little empathy for those little buggers. Currently we have 5 fish left....One beautiful orange Australian rainbow fish (which are the best fresh water fish ever! Especially their personalities)...an algae eater.....and a couple of small schooling tetra fish. Jason consolidated them into a smaller desktop tank that I had given to him originally for his office at work. They look like they have been confined to jail...it's so sad. From a big Mansion to a small puny little Jail cell of a tank, it's pretty sad. We would be happy to give them up to a happier home if anyone is interested....and we have a nice fish tank if anyone wants to start a new hobby. ;)

2nd half of Trip- San Diego

Make a Smilebox slideshow

So yeah....the 2nd half of our Vacation consisted of Trips to the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. Once we arrived at the hotel at the Embassy Suites in La Jolla, I completely realized....wow, I have to childproof this hotel room. Being a foster parent...we have to be EXTRA cautious...so I was busy moving around the furniture...covering all the exposed electrical outlets/plugs. Plus, I wasn't use to our little one being in the same room....So we got a nice suite that had a private master bedroom then an extra living space area/dining. I had purchased a tent/crib for Ryanne (emily) to sleep in. Thank Goodness! She slept fine in it....and we had brought a Yo Gabba Gabba DVD...so she felt comfortable. We didn't take many pics at Sea World...because as you can see, it was quite uneventful for her. We realize that she may be way too young...maybe in a couple more years we'll bring her back and she'll enjoy the dolphins, rather than just have interest in her sippy cup. The best part of Sea World...was participating in Shooting the water cannons at innocent people that I didn't even know & soaking them while they were riding the rapids ride. We, unfortunately couldn't ride that ride...because our little one wasn't tall enough. But hey..... That was the highlight of my day! So Fine....if I couldn't go on the ride....might as well take it out on people I didn't even know. It was great!

Pierce Brosnan's Singing

I just joined netflix so I can catch up on movies that I've missed...especially all the chick flicks. Yes...and I love musicals......and I finally got to watch that Mama Mia Musical. I was considerate to watch it without my husband (I'm sure he is very appreciative of that fact). Anyway....I wanted to talk about Pierce Brosnan who was casted in this movie. I particularly want to review his singing in this musical. Ummmm...so yeah...when he started to break into song...my first impression was that he sounded like a Moose who was shot in the lungs, trying to wheeze out the words of the song. Was it me? Did I hear his voice correctly? Here is a link to a youtube clip of one of his songs that he sang in the Movie:

Sounds like he can't even breathe. They must have had to use special effects to keep his skin tone natural looking because he was really turning blue. He's good looking, and charming...but he sounds....He just sounds...he doesn't sing.
