    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…

    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…

    Vacation Quiz

    I took a quiz Tonita sent me, What Latin American Country Should You Visit?, and here is my result… coincidence? I think not 🙂 You Should Visit Peru Peru is ideal for your “off the beaten path” traveling style.Head out to an ancient Incan city, visit a volcano, and don’t forget to pet a llama. I am so going to pet a llama!!! 🙂

    New Camera = More Blogs

    Yippee!!! We just ordered our new camera… a Canon PowerShot SD800 IS ELPH. We are so excited. Now don’t get us wrong, we are still in LOVE with our Nikon D50, but it is just a little too big to be lugging around all the time. Since Kenny has been flying a ton for Schubach Aviation recently, he has been able to go to some amazing places but has only had his camera phone to take pictures. We are hoping that with this new, tiny camera (it fits inside his shirt pocket) he will be able to snap more pictures and share his flights with you, our Blogger friends and…

    We are famous!

    At least a little famous. A few years ago after we got back from Europe, we sent Sierra Designs and a few other companies “Thank You Notes” saying how much their products helped us on our trip. Well, Sierra Designs posted our story on their webpage… now just maybe we can get them to throw in a free sleeping bag or two… or four for all this free publicity they are getting from us 🙂

    New Blogger

    Well, Blogger finally made me switch. I am sad. I am sure it will be fine, but I guess I don’t like change or something… My first impressions so far… I hate the fact that Blogger gives the annoying security warning in the comments section Not a fan of logging in with my email address I do like the idea of labeling all my posts… it will be fun I am thrilled that my blog is still there and everything still looks fine… so far
