food love

This weekend my family went to Kobe's for dinner for my sister's birthday(we missed you Jess). We had a great time and I was instantly in a good mood after dinner and for the rest of the night. I think that place is so great and everyone that is there is having a good time. Today for lunch I had the leftovers from dinner that night and was happy again, just thinking of the fun we had at dinner. It is amazing the feelings and memories that food can provoke. Kobes and Genji are definitly those kind of places that make you happy. I have several resteraunts that immediatly make me happy as soon as I walk in the door. Because I know the food will be good and I love the atmosphere. It is even better to be there with people you love and have fun with. So anyways, just was thinking about that and how interesting that is.

Question: Do you think fat people are happier.. because they eat so much? Or just happy at first, but when they become morbidly obese.. then they get sad? Ok.. never mind.


The picture above is of me and my brother Eric eating crab legs in San Fran. another favorite of mine, that ALWAYS makes me happy when I eat.

JESUS the Praying Mantis....

This was Jill's buddy Thursday 8/24/06. She named him Jesus-the Praying Mantis...or was it Moses? Either way he grossed me out. These pictures probably don't portray the SIZE of this monstrosity...he was 6 inches, easy, with a triangle, alien like head that swung around to check you out as you walked up to the front door.

Jill's new nick-name is "INSECTA INSPECTA"...see this link and learn all about Jesus/Moses...http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/mantids/praying/index.html

I've got poop too...

So I haven't been "on here" for forever. And the only POOP story I have is from about three years ago. I am not a mom, but I am an aunt...So we were staying at a hotel, some vacation my sister's family and I were on...not remembering where...but we were swimming in the hotel pool with my 2 year old neice and my 7 year old nephew. I was hanging on to my neice, and she says "I HAVE TO GO PEE!" So my sister nominated me to take this tot to the potty. I took her to the girls room and she hustled, tearing off the wet bottoms of her bikini, swimmer and all - and a little turd dropped out. No biggy, I sat her on the toilet as I grabbed TP to pick it up off the floor. When she was "done" she needed help wiping. (remember that I am in a swimsuit too...and that I am only an aunt) I had no problem with this either, this was "expected". However, the next move was not. As I faced her sitting on the pot with TP in hand, she stuck her head between my knees and wrapped her arms around to the back of my legs. As I wiped her poopy butt, I got laughing so hard that tears started coming down my face. My sister likes to call that "mommy training 101".
There you go, that's the best I got!
I think Erica has another Zuko poop story though...on the walk?? With the stick??
I am not sure how to add pictures...I am going to need some training on that so I can add a drinking picture too!
Almost September girls...can't believe it!
Word! Peace out.

bring on the poop

so i think its Jessica, Nici, or Colleen's turn to share a poop story. I know Colleen has talked about John doing funny things with poop.. ok . jk. that is gross. :)

So, also, what do you guys think about the whole Mel Gibson thing? talk amongst yourselves....

Good poop story!

So I have a really gross but super funny poop story. So last week Eliana and I and our dog Zuko were playing in the living room. For those of you who know our dog, he is obsessed with his ball. So I throw it randomly for him so he will leave me alone. All of a sudden he starting acting sort of strange and was hiding as if he was scard of something. I tried to figure out what was wrong but I couldn't so I went on to play with Eliana. We play this game where I chase her around on my hands and knees and she thinks it is pretty funny. So she takes off back towards her bedroom with me following close behind. When I get to her room I see her holding two black things in her hands. My exact words were "oh shit!" And that was literally!! Zuko had decided he was having too much fun to stop and go outside so he decided to do his business in Eliana's room!! I was so grossed out, I grabed her hands and started to shake them so she would let go and then ran her to the bathroom where we scrubed and scrubed and scrubed her hands. It was quite an experience!
