Sunny (and cold) California December 28, 2009

It’s good to be back in California.  I haven’t been here for a few years and this time we are traveling with our girls.  It was Ava’s first time to fly and she loved it.   She sang Jingle Bells loudly for everyone, even the people who were trying to sleep.  Wasn’t that thoughtful?  She stayed awake the entire trip until there was 9, yes, 9 minutes left in the flight.  Dylan has flown a lot because we used to live in England.  She’s an accomplished international flyer.  Unfortunately, she’s having issues with her asthma and was coughing non-stop.  So in case the people weren’t awakened by Ava’s singing, Dylan’s coughing was sure to do the trick.  She eventually did pass out thankfully.  We got to LA and slept well.  We drove the next day to some good friend’s house to visit and Ava managed to hit her chin on something and hit her head on a table  No major damage thank goodness.  Then we started our assent to Mammoth Mountain.  Oh it all started off well and then Dylan threw up in car…oh yeah.  We made it to our condo without another incident and then we laid down on the couch to rest and yes you guessed it….she threw up again.  Not sure if it was car sickness, altitude sickness or a stomach virus….does it really matter?  They all equal vomit.  Then it was off to bed for a restless, ha ha, nights sleep.  We were awakened by Ava screaming her head off because she had rolled off her bed, which was on the floor, and managed to roll under our bed and get herself lost.  I would have screamed my head off too!  We had to fish her out and she was eventually fine.

I’m glad to report that today has been better.  Dylan has not thrown up and as of right now nobody else has either.  Here’s hoping it stays that way.  Ava hasn’t hurt herself today, but she is currently wrestling with Ty so any minute now…

More reports and photos later.

 

Facebook Overload! January 14, 2009

Okay, okay, okay… I’m on Facebook now, will you all leave me alone???!?!?!  Heidi, aka wittywoman, said the magic words yesterday that got me to sign up for Facebook.  No, I’m not telling you what they were.  I know it’s a great way to connect with old friends, make business contacts, etc.  But Man, I had no idea just how many contacts I would make within the first 5 minutes of signing on.  It’s a bit overwhelming.  There are so many ways to communicate… chat, private messages, wall to wall, etc.  I thought I was going to get dizzy just trying to keep track of all the stuff popping up.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy there are so many people who want to be my friend or reconnect with me.  I can see how it can be addictive.  Thank goodness I can’t look at Facebook while I’m at work.  They block the site from the kids while they are at school.  Speaking of the students….   This is my disclaimer that I will not and can not accept any friend requests from students.  So please don’t get your feelings hurt when I turn you down. 

Anyway, I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and catching up.  I have noticed that some people have posted old, “big hair” photos.  Hmm, that’s been fun to see…  So much for burning all that evidence.  Anyway, it’s all in good fun. 

If you’re not on Facebook yet, would I suggest it?  I think it certainly serves a purpose and maybe I’ll warm up to it a little bit more after I figure it all out.  Just make sure you’re ready for information overload if you sign up!

My BFF Heidi – I”m back in school and so up on the lingo – anyway, my BFF Heidi has posted yet another complaint about my lack of blogging lately.  She posted a list of topics she thought I could blog about under Queen Kari.  I have another idea though.  I’ve decided to turn the table on my witty friend.  I think you should do a guest post on my site.  You can complain, I mean discuss, anything you like.  I know how you hate to learn new things so if you want to type your post in an email and just send it to me I’d be happy to post it for you.  I reserve the right to edit anything said about me that I don’t like. 

Check out witty woman’s list of suggested topics for me to discuss.  What would you like me to blog about?
