Monday, Monday...

My sister Marilyn joined me on the trip back to Tucson, so she could see my kids before heading on to New Orleans for a conference...It was really nice to have the company!

There was no snow here when I drove through on Friday. All that rain we had in San Diego was snow in the higher elevations.

These rocks are very interesting to me...It looks like somebody just went nuts with a ball peen hammer and cracked them all. I have no idea why they are like this, but I like it.

Marilyn found it endlessly hilarious that I took many many photos of the clouds trying to drive and photograph at the same time.

We saw two rainbows like this -- one close to Casa Grande and one in Tucson...It's the end of the rainbow, sort of, without the arch. See there is just part of the rainbow, right in that spot where it was raining.

I really did take lots of accidental cloud shots...

Although...
I do actually like this one:

Here's the weird rainbow in Tucson...

Marilyn brought the kids this Killer Bunnies card game, which is crazy fun. And rather gruesome. Bunnies die in all sorts of horrible ways.

So that was my weekend! I had a marvelous wonderful fabulous time! And took over 500 photos. Be very grateful you are not in my basement right now watching slides...zzzzzzzzzzz!

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
