My husband the teenager

I am typing this, at midnight, home alone without a husband. Where is my husband you might ask? He turned into a 17-year old on me tonight. His oldest brother Mike has spent this week on a RV trip to the Grand Canyon with his family, and the RV doesn't have to be turned in until tomorrow. So Mike, John, and Jim, all loaded up in the RV, drove up to Huntington Beach, and are going to spend the night in the RV at the beach...and of course, wake up and surf. You should have seen these three boys--it was slumber party city. They had movies and treats (some cake I made tonight, John's "authentic" guacamole and chips, and Oreos and milk). Then the campsite they were going to was closed when they got there, so they broke into it by entering through the exit. But the park actually had those spikes to prevent this very thing from happening, but due to John's ingenuity, they got in anyway. John got out in the pouring rain, and dug up some sand bags and a palm tree branch that he layed over the spikes, and Mike drove the RV right over them into the park. And to complete the night, John just prank called me, laughing so hard at his own joke he could barely speak. Me (seeing it is his phone number on my caller ID): Hello? John (already laughing): Is John there? Me: what are u guys doing (but realizing he wants me to say "John Who?") John (laughing so hard he can barely get it out): "Then what the hell are you going to pee in, a Dixie Cup....and hangs up. I could hear Mike and Jim just busting up in the background. Seriously? These are all 30-something, working professional fathers/husbands having a slumber party in an RV?? Prank calls, some delinquency, staying up late, and midnight snacks--sounds like a genuine slumber party to me!!

Okay, and I also just wanted to post two things that I have enjoyed lately. First off, I asked for the Nintendo Wii for my birthday. I know, right? But I am addicted to Guitar Hero! In fact, Jim and I rang in 2008 playing that until the wee hours of the morning, until we were both getting carpal tunnel in our wrists! If you haven't played it, you're missing out. I even made the missionaries who came over for dinner tonight take a turn (I know--I'm so rebellious, breaking their rules!). This picture shows Jim and I in action, ripping it up! :)


So i also just finished reading this book. Has anyone else read it? It has been on the NY Times Bestseller list for weeks now, and the author has been on Oprah twice because she has created a phenemenon of sorts with this book. It is a great book...at the risk of sounding SO cheesy, it makes you want to find yourself, and focus on what really makes you happy. Anyway, add it to your list of reads if you haven't read it already. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
