No Skin Off My Nose...

...but there's a little off my knee.

(go ahead, look closely. There! Can you see it. Right there. Yes...a booboo!)




I got it doing this:

And this:








The kids had a great time, and although I can't confirm it, I think they are part spider! They climbed these walls like they had suction cups strapped to their hands and feet. I was amazed!

Here's my little Zee man...making great strides to conquer his fear of heights. What a trooper!


Then there's my little heart baby, who by all accounts should not even be alive but here she is, climbing these walls like she has eight legs! Way to go, Keeks!!

And finally, there's Mo....my shy, little scared-of-her-own-shadow child who has suddenly blossomed into a take-the-bull-by-the-horns kind of gal who loves life and all it has to offer. So far she's undefeated in wall sprints against her friends (and me)!


I couldn't have caught her even if I had wings!



I had such a great time! There's so much life has to offer...I want to try it all!! Next time it's OUTDOOR rock climbing!

Okay, maybe not NEXT time, but SOON!

If you have never tried indoor rock climbing, what are you waiting for?! Get out there...try it!

Destroy those manicures!

Stretch those gastrocnemius(es)! (calf muscles)

Scratch those elbows!

You won't regret it.

Unless you scrape your knee on the sandpaper-ish wall.

Then you might....

but only for a second.

Hubs and I are off for a run now. We're on week 4 of our 13 week training program, and we're doing awesome. I've got a little somethin' , somethin' going on in my knee (and, no, it's not the little scratch from climbing) so I hope that's not going to present a problem.

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Happy 20th Anniversary to Us!!

Yeah, so the old man and I have been hitched for 20 years today.  Been together for 30 years (yes, we started dating when we were BABIES!) and yes, I have been with him for more than 1/2 of my life.  That's pretty crazy when you think of it...he's been there for EVERY major milestone of my life, and I for his.  It's pretty hard for either of us to pull a 'remember when' memory from a period of our lives in which the other person wasn't present.  Oh sure we went off and did things separately, like I lifeguarded for 2 summers in a little town in the Interior, and he lived in the Okanagan for about a year, and he climbed mountains with friends and did hikes that I wasn't part of,  but we were still a couple.   We started dating when I was 14 and he was 17--I had to get special permission from my parents to date him because I wasn't allowed until I was 16.  I remember the discussion quite vividly and my parents agreed to allow him to come over, and to take
