How lucky that you saw a rainbow at Pike's!  And great work on summitting Mt. Sanitas twice!  Girl, you go!  You've got a great list of accomplishment s...that is something to be very proud of.   

You are brave wearing a 2-piece.  I've only worn a 2-piece in college...a bright orange thing, but no more, ever.

I like your new list for 2014.  The family's planning on camping and fishing this year too (didn't have time to do it last year but yearned for it).  The passport will open doors to more adventures.

LOL! Maybe this year you'll be more courageous and wear it out where people will know you.  When I wore mine, it was when no one was around too...at the community pool.  We are such wimps. 

The rain must have been nice even though it was a damper. Have you heard about what goes on at Devil's Playground during a lightning shower? (I may have already mentioned this).  They say it's beautiful if you can catch a glimpse of it but you don't want to be amongst the rocks when the show's happening.  I guess that's why the last time I hiked it (the only time), when the storm clouds were rolling in quickly, the family wanted to get away or move into shelter before it rained.  What did you think of those donuts?  They're especially made for that elevation.  They were soooo good after a long hike.  Husband gulped them down like there's no tomorrow...LOL!  You're always one step ahead with the blanket and all.  I'm never prepared enough.

Glad you're making use of the Ipad.    Did I tell you that my new friends are Patrick and Spongebob?

I think I will put my tree away this week.  It's just taking up space in my apartment- and plus we are not lighting it at night anymore. 

Let me know if we need to go shopping this weekend!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

I remembered way back when I was young that I had watched the cartoonish version of The Hobbit.  It sure was scary then as I remembered Bilbo finding the ring in Gollum’s cave.   My son (6) and I went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug recently.  He did pretty good for a 2+ hr movie – we only had to take 3 quick bathroom breaks.  We had a Kodak moment at the very end….here’s how it went but it was best live and in person.

The last scene/frame of the movie goes black.  It seemed like the power went out.

Me:  What?!  That’s it? That’s the ending?!
Him:  Wait a minute.  That’s it?

We stand up and he’s facing the rest of the movie goers who are exiting out of their seats.

Him:  (motioning with his hands) Now listen everybody, the movie is not over yet.  Just stay and they will fix it.

Me:  Let’s get your coat on

Him:  Mom – (continues motioning with his hands) Everybody the movie is being fixed right now.  It can’t be the end.  We just have to wait for a little bit.

He turns around and sees the credits on the screen.  His jaws just dropped and goes,
“Everyone I guess the movie is over”  I feel like I just got duped by this movie. 

The entire ride home he kept on saying in disbelief how the movie ended the way it did.

It was a memorable Kodak moment indeed

I woke up with a butterfly in my tummy…and it’s still there.  So we decided to belt out our best voices at the bus stop this morning to calm the flutters.  I once said to my son that this is my song for him….I want to see him be brave.  Every time it plays on the radio he would shout out, “Hey it’s my song!”  But deep inside, it's my song too.
I showed him the music vid to it and he loved it!

"Brave"

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
 
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
 
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
 
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
