Don't Mess with The Regulator

Working "Security" and keeping kids off the neighbor's trees at Amor Ministries is a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

As always, I've gotta keep it real and add a little flare to everything. This time? A reflector vest and a really small bike to intimidate the kids.

As most of you know, I like MacGyver. In fact as seen here and here, I am like him in many ways.
But my ridiculously awesome friend Carrie has opened the door for others to find out how and why MacGyver's only weapon is his mind by giving me the sweetest shirt I have ever seen...And I wear it with pride my friends, I wear it with pride...

Thanks Carrie! And the world will thank you someday too! (I almost didn't want to post this for fear that you would never read my blog agian! sooooooo, uh. You can keep reading it if you want to....)

The Famous PD Weekend...

I was reluctant to write a blog about my Palm Desert Trip a couple weekends ago, number one because I was sick the whole weekend and still felt too fuzzy to make any sense by the time I got home, and number two everyone that went wrote these incredible accounts of the trip that are impossible to top. Not that I need to top them…they just wrote them so well!

But alas, Katie gave me the death look yesterday for not updating my blog and so I must write something even if it is out of fear for my life.

So without further ado:

I went on excursion to Palm Desert with Katie and four other awesome and talented women for a weekend of photo fun and otherwise havoc reeking on the citizens of Palm Dessert.

Here are a few of my memorable highlights:

• Arriving in PD with Katie and meeting Susan and Leah for drinks, or a drink that was actually named after Susan.
• Being a snotty, eye-watering, coughing, sneezing mess all weekend.
• Going to TWO art museums, which I LOVE doing but never make the time for.
• Convincing Aaryn and Katie to do a “running from the camera” shot of us jumping through a thousands of dollars art piece, and not getting in trouble even though we were on camera the whole time and did it more than once...
• Miles of Collagen filled lips and BMW’s
• Getting to know Aaryn and her amazing Photo SKILLZ, love for her adorable daughter, sense of adventure and last but not least, her equipment (photo equipment that is….see here)
• Getting to know Jessica and her incredible ability to look good in all hats and ALL pictures (even ones that she looks eerily similar to manikins), her zest for life, and her sweet, sweet demeanor.
• Getting to know Leah and all her artsy craftiness that inspires me to actually do something crafty sooner rather than later and her strong Character that has carried her through life. AND being on the receiving end of not one but TWO of her one of a kind, amazingshecancrochetethatfast hats. Yes, be jealous. Her Photo's here.
  
• Getting to know Susan, her hospitality, bravery for taking us girls out on the town and willing to show her face in that town again, her mad cooking skills and her genuine friendship to us all.
• Getting a reminder as to why Katie is a remarkable friend and amazingly talented woman from her photography to her witty writing and everything in between.

Thanks again Susan for such a wonderful weekend. Sorry it took so long for me to actually write this out girls!

Seriously?

Some JerkFace just walked into my office and ask me to repeat myself because it sounded like I am "Minnie Mouse on Helium". Seriously Dude? I hope he can't taste that lugee I just spit into his fresh cup of coffee. Idiot.
I also hope he knows that next time he pats me on the head like a five year old I am liable to rip each and every one of his fingers off one at a time and stuff them in his mouth. GAH!

Oh the sweet satisfaction of giving someone a gag gift for no apparent reason:
(On a side note Allie actually does crossword puzzles everyday. I told her she should hang it in her kitchen...)

The Worst

This would be my Worst NIGHTMARE!
I hate hiccups!

I got Worms- That's what we're gonna call it...

When I was a kid I remember one of my Elementary School teachers read "How to Eat Fried Worms" to the class. I loved that book and like many books from my childhood I think about it probably more than the normal person... or maybe not? I tend to get books stuck in my head. Anyway a few months ago I saw that they had made a movie out of this particular book and I, of course, was excited...and then I saw the movie.
Seriously? I think they tried too hard. They had the main point but completely missed the rest of the story. What is with Hollywood trying to change things that don't need changed?!
My final review you ask? Cute kids in the movie but not as good as the book... or at least what I can remember.
