Horses Horses Horses ...

Zee Meehan Family Heirloom Horse Head Mask ... at Scout Camp.

Posting a day early this week because tomorrow I'll be on a plane heading to Tennessee for Keith and Whitney's wedding (from my tribe on Survivor South Pacific).

 So my point!
I have one thing to say this week: 

 GET THEE A HORSE HEAD MASK PRONTO!

 I'm telling you this is the best $12.00 I have ever spent. (Well, it's actually a tie between the horse head mask and the crib mattress we bought at a yard sale so the kids could mattress surf down the stairs. But that's a whole other post!) So far the horse head has been to Girls Camp and Scout Camp ... which just cracks me up.

 Happy Weekend!


The Polar Plunge at Jr's Scout Camp last week.

Morning ceremonies.

More horsing around. (I know, see why it is so fun--the cliches are endless!)

More Scout Camp.
PS: Girls are there. What the what?

After the Polar Plunge.

Bam and her church youth group at a thrift store last night.

Last Friday we went to an annual Family Day/Field Trip at Dave's work--Adobe.
It was awesome.

Before we left for the Family Day.

At Family Day. (Jr was at camp, so Dave was with a full-female crew!)

The fam at the Adobe Building--which is a phenomenal building. Rock climbing wall, beautiful restaurant, game rooms ....

Lu before the Family Day.

Me at Lu at Adobe.


Is this the coolest water cooler ever? (That's a big spongey cup cover!)


Photo booth time.

Face-painting.

Members of the Olympic ski team. Well, one of the teams.

Zu before Family Day.

Getting their portrait drawn.

"Swimming" with friends.

More friends.


A birthday party for the sisters/women in my local congregation/ward. It was AWESOME. An Olive-Garden "style" dinner. So fun. Someone made these cupcakes after seeing a pin on Pinterest. I'm telling you: Mormons + Pinterest = TROUBLE.

Da party.

My ward family.

The newest member of my friend Marthe's fam.

Dinner.

Oh, and Elder Meehan is doing great--though it sounds like he's had some bike trouble. And bikes are a pretty important part of the Mormon Missionary's daily life. Hopefully it gets repaired soon.












PS: I had this photo booklet made using the photos from my iPhone. There was an app for it. It seemed really neat when I read about it (magazine), so I went for it. I'm totally impressed: 40 photos for $26.00 with shipping.

8 Ways to Enjoy a Rainy Day

Image
( NOTE : For those of you nowhere near Hysteria Lane, let me just begin by saying, "Yes, it's raining here." But I stopped worrying about rain in June when I stopped worrying about snow in May. It's all good.) I think I read this in an Eckhart Tolle book, but I am not sure. Something to the effect of, "Treat each situation as if you choose it." In other words, when it rains, act as though you wanted it to rain. When you gain 10 pounds, act as though you'd planned to gain 10 pounds. When your puppy pees on the carpet, act as though you'd wanted him to do that. (Yes, only male puppies pee on carpet.) Okay, maybe that last one is a little hard to "imagine." BUT the point is, we get to choose how we feel about every given situation in our lives. And while it may be impossible to imagine a time when you would WANT or CHOOSE some of life's crappy conditions, it's pretty incredible to see how different you feel when you...

It's Time to Detox . . . and Exfoliate!

Image
When I woke up this morning and had one thought: It's time to detox. And I think the launch of the holiday season seems to be the best time to do that. Don't you? (Ha.) Well, I'm not so sure about that. But rather than just "throw in the towel" and let the holiday buffet roll me over, I think I'm simply going to  try to be  more mindful of how I'm fueling my body. So, here's my plan, I call it,  My  " Be More Mindful of How You Fuel Your Body Over The Holidays Plan" (That's a clear and limiting title if I ever heard one.) What exactly does it mean? Well, bear with me.  I'm not a dietician (but I play one on my blog), so I'm piecing together said-plan using 3 years of college life science courses, a shelf full of library books, a few O! Magazine articles, and a ton of here-say from friends. ( Sounds like solid research to me. Don't you agree? *smile*) And so far, here's ...

A Year Ago . . . To THE Day

Image
I was thinking this morning about how much has happened this year! And so, I thought it would be fun to SEE what I posted on October 5th, 2010 --and then contrast it with what is happening  this year on October 5th . THEN: October 5, 2010 --I had just bought a camera to replace my broken camera. (Using a sweet coupon from Costco.)   --Our family went to our favorite pumpkin patch and picked our very own pumpkins off the vine--8 of them.   --My hair was longer. Well, longer in a short style kinda way.   --I was mid-way through my own Survivor "boot camp," going to the gym everyday at 6:30am and 4pm. (SIDENOTE: I did not know whether I'd be going on Survivor 23 at this point. I had been cast the previous year, and then cut, so all of my gym time was really just preparing myself for the possibility of S23.)   --Dave-man was working a 3am-noon shift. FUN. FUN. FUN. For everyone.   --I was on an a...
