I hate everything about getting shots…
Here is the long awaited needle post. I would say “enjoy” but why should you gather so much amusement from my pain? You all are sick, sick I say! Read away. And without further ado… I hate everything about getting shots. I hate the hospital. I hate all sick and infirmed people. I have the smell of the alcohol wipe that they use right before the worst event of your life. I hate the needle. And I hate all the nurses who are not sympathetic to my condition. Those of us with this condition, belonephobia (fear of needles) or trypanophobia (fear of injections), are commonly referred to as “needle phobes”.…

Farewell Pontiac…
…How we will miss thee! We (and by “we” I mean “I”… haha) sold the Pontiac this weekend! Yippeee! To top off the joy of selling the car was the fact that we got full asking price and sold it in less than a week. Kenny was home yesterday and we were able to sign the car over and get our money! He had a grand ol’ time trying to get the car Smogged… it passed just fine, but he had to go to three different places! Another lesson learned… Just like coupons for carpet cleaning… coupons for a cheap SMOG inspection at a place called “Trust SMOG Test” should…

Go Hug-a-Tree
I guess we are officially tree-huggers now. Today we bought a Prius! We love our new “green” car. Of course the Hybrid technology and 55+ mpg influenced us, but what really sealed the deal were the awesome features like the navigation system and blue tooth… yeah, we are suckers for cool gadgets! The biggest push to get the Prius had to be that last week, our mechanic told us that our 1994 Pontiac Grand Am had seen better days and was going to cost waaay more than it was worth to fix. Yippee for our first grown-up car purchase 🙂 A new car! Jen ♥’s her Prius Of course, Kenny…

Kern Valley Airport Camping
Kenny didn’t have to work last weekend, so we decided to pick up last minute and fly to Kern Valley Airport for a quick camping getaway. The airport has a little camping area on the field and is just yards away from the Kern River. The 2 hour flight was uneventful and Pilot did just fine… although he never left our laps! A few minutes after we landed, David, Jamie & Jeffrey showed up and we went into town for a great lunch at Los Juacalitos- a local Mexican food restaurant with a fun name to pronounce (at least to me & Jamie… Juacalitos!) After lunch, we did a few…

Pilot Jeffrey
Last week Kenny flew to Reno-Boise-Fresno-Bakersfield. In Bakersfield he had a few hours to kill and David, Jamie & Jeffrey were able to come pick him up for a visit. They had a great time hanging out and introducing Jeffrey to the airplane… I think we have a new pilot in the family.

I poisoned my husband
Well, I am hoping it was just the flu and not food poisoning, but one way or the other, Kenny and I were both SICK this weekend. This was not your normal, I’m-not-feeling-so-well-upset-stomach kind of sick. Nope, it was a run-to-the-bathroom-as-fast-as-you-can-without-passing-out kind of sick. I will spare you all the gory details. Poor Kenny was way sicker than I was and lost over 15 pounds 🙁 He was supposed to leave on Friday for a 3 day trip to Reno, but figured the passengers might not want a pilot who couldn’t even stand up… not to mention fly a plane! Since we couldn’t move Friday or Saturday, the sweet, sweet…
