Thanks, Bob! -- One For the Board

My World, Updated

*I'm on SPRING BREAK!!! Enuf said. :)

*Just got back from visiting my 16-year-old brother in the hospital after shattering his arm catching air on a friend's bike. A little too much speed and a complete head-over-heals 360 in the air. Yep. And it's all caught on video. Poor boy... :(

*Spent Easter "at the beach" in Santa Cruz with friends and enjoyed a nice drive back up the coast in my dad's Mustang. And, can we say that I rock at Catch Phrase?! And I hadn't even played it since I lived in VA.

*I'm on a new special diet called Cereal and Chocolate. I know, very unlike me, but life has been overwhelming...and if you approach it just right, you really lose weight, too! :)

*Tomorrow I start a special Crohn's diet...you know, by the book and all. hehe :)

*I'm paiting two walls in my room English Countryside green (kinda springy sage) and slowly (following a budget, of course :) ) making my room into an East Coast beauty, complete with toile. My next interior design adventure--total beach girl.

*Current Reading: "In Style"'s guide to fashion because I am inlove with fashion. And, no, that is not the only book on my nightstand ;) , but, oh, it is so cool.

I've gotta go give my sister back her long shorts for her trip to SLO, so I've gotta run, but will type on here more later.

Audi,

O. Janelle =:-D

Today's Celebratory Hike

Yae! School's out for spring break (I only had a 1/2 day with the kids today...which included a sweet bunny brunch :) ) and it was a beautiful spring day, so I took my brother and I and my convertable up to Mt. Diablo for a fun hike. We ran into a hissing snake, beautiful wild flowers...and plenty of scats...which my brother analyzed. :) It was all good exercise.



Scats and trail book.




Yes...we had fantabulous time taking photos. ;) And, again, I thank God that I am able to do these things again. (!!) :D I love my brother. :) *awwwww*
