Bliss
Yesterday I spent the afternoon in my backyard lying on a blanket, laid out over my green grass in the shade, with a big glass of lemonade, a good book, and a sunny 75 degree breeze blowing over me. Heaven on earth!

Seriously??!!
I am at the batting cages for a little pre-game practice.
I am taking my turns in the 80 mph cage because 1.) it has the shortest line, and 2.) we'll be facing a quick pitcher tonight.
The only other people rotating with me at that cage are a group of high school boys.
I listen to them ramble about people at their school and their weekend plans.
Suddenly one of the boys turns to me and asks, "So, which school do you go to?"
I stare dumbfounded at the group of kids.
Seriously?!! He can not possibly be talking to me??!!
The answer that comes to my head: "Well, I graduated from college 3 1/2 yrs ago, and I've been married long enough that if I had had a kid right away, it would now be attending kindergarten at Coyote Hills Elementary."
I think that this answer might be a little harsh, and I don't want to fully embarrass the kid in front of his friends.
Instead, I simply answer, "Uhhh, I don't go to school."
He turns away a little confused but doesn't bother me again.
My dignity is shred to pieces.
Apparently I could enroll in a local high school and no one would know the difference!
Just to top things off...
A few hours later I walk into the park where I play ball.
The guy checking for contraband tells me to just walk on thru.
Apparently he doesn't need to check my bag.
As I walk past him he yells, "I doubt you're even old enough to buy beer, right?!"
Two times in one night. You have got to be kidding me??!! Do I really look that young??!!

Giving Thanks
After a VERY long day of baking (pumpkin cookies, bran muffins, and wheat bread), I just have to say THANK GOODNESS I live in a day where dishwashers exist.
28 Candles
Friday was Brett's birthday and we were fortunate to both have the day off. We were able to spend the whole day together and had ALOT of fun. We slept in and then had a delicious pancake breakfast. Then we opened presents, went to the store so Brett could pick out some new video games, went out to lunch, and then headed here...
...SpeedStreet Indoor Kart Racing!
These karts go 50 mph one inch above the ground!!! This is NOT your old-fashioned bumper cars!
We had such a blast, but the strenuous racing took it's toll. Afterwards we both felt a little queasy, so we went home and took it easy before we headed out for a night with friends. It was so fun to spend the day with one another. Happy Birthday Brett! I love you!!

I Heart Pink
Why was I so much more interested in watching the Cardinal's game with Brett just because all the guys were wearing pink? Not sure, but it definitely made me smile. Hooray for Breast Cancer Awareness month!!
Proud
On Saturday Brett completed his last 8 hr. national boards test (#4 of 4!) of his medical school career. What a relief!! One more step complete on the seemingly never-ending quest to a medical degree. Only a few more months till graduation! I could not be more proud of him!!
