Look a Like

I thought I would see if the computer software could tell us who Josh lookes like. It seems that the software can't tell who's child he is either!! I was hoping for a more definate answer than what it came up with. I am pretty sure he is mine, I was there...

Rock On


Since my back is feeling better, I decided to try it out at a Rock Concert. I guess the word "Rock" is relative, but for me it was pretty....Rockin'. I went to a Lenny Kravitz concert with Emerson Hart and Finger Eleven. I was looking forward to Lenny of course, but came away an Emerson Hart fan. I have included one of his tracks on the playlist. He is best know for being the lead singer of Tonic..which I also included on the playlist. He was awesome, I really enjoyed him. He wasn't a stand up and dance kind of act, but a listen and enjoy kind of act.

The next up was Finger Eleven. Again no expectations, which was good because these were the guys who were clearly living the Rock style life. They have a couple of good songs, but most of the songs they played consisted of the lead singer mostly screaming and the lead guitar guy kept on dropping his guitar. I couldn't tell if this was intentional or not. Even though they were not quite my style, the last couple of songs were familiar and they got me out of my seat to act like a true fan..

The last was Lenny Kravitz. Expectations were moderately high and he delivered. Pretty much, he could just walk around for an hour and I would be satisfied. He was awesome and I stood the whole hour dancing like a teenager. Although at one point of the concert he did ask for everyone to jump up and down. I did, then I realized there was a reason that I didn't do that very often. Oh yeah, I have had kids and you know, I pretty much had to stop jumping or we would be in trouble.

I am so glad I went, I felt AWAKE again. Although my ears were buzzing when I went to bed that night and I couldn't talk the next day..It was worth it!

I'm Back

Literally...I have had a bulging disc and could not touch my knees. It has been better for the last couple weeks, but I have been trying to make up for lost time. I have been doing Physical Therapy which is a Treat. It is not quite like a spa experience but I do get a massage each time I go. That and the fact that I can walk without pain keeps me going back.

My favorite memory of being immobile is my Kids begging for dinner. I got up and slopped some leftover casserole in a bowl and put it on the kitchen table. I went back to the couch and said, "Your dinner is in the kitchen, if you want it fine, if you don't, put it in the sink for your Dad to clean up!" Then after they ate dinner or whatever they could find, Brett came crying to me. He said, "Mom, Josh is throwing cars at me!" I responded with "Save yourself, lock yourself in your room and don't come out until the coast is clear."

I am sure I will be winning a prize for best parenting technique this year. It's Good to be Back!

Sad Day

Our Stake Center burned down this past Monday. It is always sad when a church is burned down no matter what denomination it is. It affects so many people, but life goes on and the church will be rebuilt. Brett is going to be baptized this year and it has been rescheduled for another building. It will still be a special event of course, but still sad that it will not take place in "Our" Stake Center.

Suns Game

I never take a camera to the Suns game, and when I am there I always think...why did I not take my camera?? We had a great time as usual..The Suns won and it is always a good "people watching" activity.

I took a picture of Raja Bell, he is injured and on the side lines. I waited for him to turn around, when he did, he noticed I had the camera square on him, I still took the picture. I was feeling very "paparazi-ish", but smiled after I took the picture and gave him a "thumbs-up." I am such a Dork, but I can't resist taking a picture of a famous person, he looked very handsome in his suit BTW!

Double click on the picture to enlarge it...They aren't the best pictures because my camera is a dinosaur...HaHa...Maybe for Christmas, If I am good, Josh can get me a new one since he "lost" mine...

--A side note to any "The Bachelor" fans. We have a Phoenix Suns dancer who made it to the final two. She was there, but I didn't get a picture because she was always on the other side of the arena. Anyway, the Suns Doctor who sits in front of us told us that she is "Mum" on the subject, but she gets alot of attention from fans of the show. The cameraman likes her to, because anytime they were dancing on center court she was always featured...--
