I remember it was not a terrifying experience. So, jogging down my memory lane, I volunteered to pick up the 26ft truck from u haul.) I started counting my options. 0. None. There was no … Continue reading 26 Foot
I am such a proud evil mom. I took my kids to insanity. Insanity is a group fitness class. It doesnt require weight lifting. In insanity, you do burpies, push ups, squats, and all those “fun” stuff, that’s it (one of the instructor uses this phrase after explaining us the hard core routine, that’s it). It was such a joy watching their innocent faces turn … Continue reading Proud ‘n’ Evil

At times, I … Continue reading Oregon Coast Music Festival

June and July means Summer. June and July means minimum 70 F. June and July means catching fireflies. June and July means warm days and nights.

By all means, I am a fan of … Continue reading 10 Months

Everyone knows about Universal Studios. It is an amusement park. Mostly a long wait for rides, unless you get lucky(a holiday and the crowd decided to do BBQ instead), or pay another sum of $ to get another “front of the line” pass. The entrance fee is in three digits. The food is a similar price to that of any other amusement park. Once you … Continue reading Cool Zone
