10 on Tues - The San Diego edition

1) Love Cali weather. I curled my hair this morn and it looked the exact same when I went to put it up for bed. sigh... life without humidity... must be good.

2) Our room at the hotel is gorgeous. Might have something to do with KJ telling the booking pep that we were celebrating our honeymoon. hehehe did you catch that. Not celebrating our wedding (as in an anniversary), but celebrating the wedding night... Anywho, thank you for the upgrade booking pep!

3) I packed a ton of sleepwear that has been sadly retired for some time. Ummm, let's just say that i remembered why they were put into retirement and I even hit the work out room this morn to do some elipitical time... on my vaca....

4) We got into town last night and KJ got sick today. I'm hoping it's just a 24 hour bug. ;-( I've whipped out EVERY home remedy in the book and the hotel staff has been wonderful keeping me stocked with disinfectant, extra towels, crackers and free water. FYI I'll never buy saltines again, oyster crackers is where it's at.

5) Tonight a group of kids (teenagers) got in the elevator and they just looked like it was prom night and their parents had no idea that they had all gone in on a hotel room... anyway, one of the boys asked, "Is the room a smoking room b/c I've got to smoke my cigs." Oh little boy please. So on their way out of the elevator, that same lil boy looked at me and said sarcastically, "You have a good evening maam." and I wanted to reply, "Young man give me your cigarettes and your momma's phone number..." I hate to see youth just wasting away.

6) I miss my little mini. She's staying with my parents and she's on the last little bit of recovery from the cold from Hades. (all that was left when we hopped the plane was a sparatic little cough). Oh and Christmas was a hit. I'm proud to say that one of her fave gifts was the new set of toothbrushes! That's my baby.

7) The San Diego zoo is pretty extensive and has all kinds of random animals. I got some great pics which in more organized life I'd use to make a picture book for the lil mini since Dear Zoo is a favorite book... anywho, we had decided that we would hit up the Wild life part of the zoo too before we leave (separate area separate admission) because it's suppose to simulate an African safari. And the main zoo's lions were ladies and didn't have manes and well, a lion without the mane just isn't impressive.

8) On the plane ride over some of the boys in the band that is going to perform at the Holiday Bowl were siting near us, and I commented to KJ how "pretty" most of them were. Really, perfect skin, flushed cheeks, they looked like a bunch of extras for High School Musical (which I've never seen, but I know the boys are pretty...).

9) Not really San Diego related - I've decided that I should earnestly pray for organization. If King Solomon can ask for wisdom, little ole Roz can ask for organization. I've come to grips with the fact that me getting organized is going to take some divine intervention.

10) I'll leave you with a few of my fav pics from the holiday and from our trip so far. Happy Tuesday!!!!

Ten on Tuesday

1) Clean clothes are fluffier than dirty clothes which means that the same hamper that they were in originally suddenly becomes too small and makes it painfully obvious that the clothes need to be folded.

2) Folding clothes and mopping are my 2 least favorite house chores. Washing dishes is my absolute fave... no, really, it is.

3) My goal everyday is to get out of the house for something/some amount of time. Today almost all of my attempts when down in flaming balls of failure. There's still some time left, so I may try to make it happen as I'm pretty sure the little mini has cabin fever.

4) I have only bought 2 Cmas presents. Ummmm, how many days do I have left?? Good nite!

5) I've been wearing my hair straight and low and behold I've lost the base to my hot curlers, which means the sexy tousled look I had envisioned sporting is more often a funky little bun. hehehe I'm thinking sexy is in the eye of the beholder...

6) This year I'm contemplating emailing out a video C-mas card. Yes, it's cheap, but is it tacky? I'm hoping not as if I don't do this then there will probably be no wishes of merriment from my little family. Shoot, I don't ever get C-mas cards out on time, but this year I wouldn't even make my normal New Year's deadline.

7) Speaking of New Year's, KJ and I are headed to San Diego after Cmas for our early anniversary celebration. I've got to think of attractions to see b/c right now I'm all I'm coming up with is the zoo.

8) I love the show King of Queens. Really, I don't think I've ever seen an episode that hasn't made me laugh out loud at least once.

9) Still have to get a Cmas tree... and Tricey, as much as you DESPISE multi-colored lights, I believe that's the route I'm going. hehehe You probably would have never known had I not typed it here, so pretend like you didn't read that.

10) I MUST get some new jeans pronto. I don't have a single pair that fit me properly and I've been wearing what I like to call "bedroom jeans" (b/c the way they appear to be painted on my body is only fit for the privacy of my bouduare) with long shirts. I'm determined to drop 10 lbs by the end of Dec, but for now, new jeans it is.

Happy Tuesday!!!
