So I'm talking to Betts yesterday morning..
the girl is a mush head, and I say that with much affection.
she locked her keys in her car the night before, but didn't even realize it till she went to leave in the morning and couldn't find her keys.
and another mush head move? She was making cupcakes...then putting them in the paper liners. Joey, who's 6, told her, "Mom, you're supposed to put the paper liners in the muffin cups and then put the cupcake batter in them and bake them." "No joey! you can't do that! they'll catch on fire!"
Outta the mouths of babes, huh? ;)
so I'm talking to her, after having called AAA to come and unlock her car to get her keys..and she told me that Joey and Bree had played "beauty shop" and cut each others hair.
(crickets chirping)
Bree's hair was looooooong...down to her butt. and beautiful, with soft little curls at the end.
Now?
It's up to her shoulders. with a short little bang included.
I almost cried! Her hair was so long!
Oh well, it's only hair, right?
********************************
so Dirtbike Boy has informed me that he and his best friend will be making a "road trip" this summer. To Alaska. or Washington. Or Oregon. somewhere far away with woods, where he can go "off the grid".
I think the Boy has been inhaling too many "5 Guys" fumes.
And after graduation, he and the best friend will be driving to California in a van and setting up shop somewhere. They want to open up a little beach shack somewhere, rent surf boards and have a little diner that serves great sandwiches. (Man Vs. Food will be along to test them, im sure)
I'm all for THAT.
Walking to Alaska or Oregon? not so much.
yes, I said WALKING. or riding motorcycles.
And I understand all of this. Bina and I had big plans and dreams for after graduation...moving to California (hmmm..wonder where he gets it from?), living on the beach, riding horses, and somewhere in there we would have grown long blond hair and massive boobs.
Needless to say, it didn't happen. California OR the massive boobs. Well, for me anyway. :)
Everyone needs a dream, right?

Interesting to think of WA as having anywhere off the grid. Oh well, if they get this far they have someone to rescue them in SE WA and you can get anywhere in the state within six hours (unless you have to catch a ferry - rule is the one you need to catch will leave two minutes before you arrive at the dock - it's the LAW!)
froggy: this is what I love most about blogging friends...they become REAL friends and I have eyes all over the place!!!! XOXOX
Ur son is crazy!! But it does sound fun!
He needs to go "off the grid"? Is he Jack Bauer or something?? Is your youngest son secretly working for CTU? Is he in danger???
:)
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Tranny: I don't know what's up with that boy!!!! he doesn't want the govt. to know what he's doing! refuses to have a bank account..blah blah blah...I told him, "Honey, you have a SSN and a cell phone...they KNOW what you're doing!" lol
I love your son! How I wish I could go back and taken more fun risks, before starting right into the grind of work, marriage, mortgage, babies, etc. That is exactly what I did, just like I was told.
What a great idea, have some fun, have an adventure and then face the real world. Who knows what will happen. Maybe he'll get lucky and fall into a fun job and become a millionaire. You never know.
Love it, he has spirit and spunk and your common sense (even if he won't show it to you). You've instilled some good values into him. Trust him.
xoxoxoxo
cheryl, I Do trust him. I told him that I hope he DOES do all of those things...now is the time to do it...while you're young and impulsive and full of dreams. Don't wait till later, when you're married and have kids and bills to WISH you'd done those things...make your memories NOW!!!!
