I've Moved

DaddyZabba has convinced me that Wordpress is better than blogger.

So, we packed up and moved.

Come by and visit. Don't be a stranger.

Happy Birthday

DaddyZabba celebrated his birthday on Saturday. The day started out with breakfast in bed, then a long bike ride, a birthday present scavenger hunt, a quality lunch at Carl's Jr. (my treat of course), and the day ended with a fun birthday party - he even requested his Mom's frosting for the cake.

We hope that you felt special and loved on your special day DaddyZabba. We love you!

Life Moments

The last few weeks I have been reading Maggie Mason's blog posts about things she would like to do before she dies, and memories that she hopes flash before her eyes just before she dies. It has been interesting to read her thoughts.

This week I started a short Bible Study called "Live Like you Were Dying". The last question for the week was, think back to some of your best life moments. This sounds a lot like Maggie's list of memories she hopes come to mind in her last moments.

Here are a few of my favorite life moments: ( I could write more, but I hear the girls waking up)
-singing the Stars Spangled Banner at the top of the Eiffel Tower
-riding a vespa in Italy in the rain
-Easter in Ecuador
-practicing shoe tieing with my parent's dinner guests
-taking walks with my Mom (the more you talk, the further you go)
-throwing my sister's surprise bridal shower
-my wedding day
-seeing the stick with two lines
-running on the beach in Brazil
-sledding down the hill at Pappy's house
-the days my girls were born
-fireworks over the Sydney harbor
-East End Hoagies
-Gardners Peanut Butter Meltaways
-getting tipsy for the first time
-girls night out with Lola
-2am Dr. Pepper explosion with my Mom and Sister
-trying to make butterscotch pie by melting butterscotch candy
-my first day of teaching
-salad with italian dressing and english muffins with my Mom
-hiding in a huge pile of leaves
-sleeping in my sister's room when the thunder was too scary
-riding my bike super fast down the hill on our street

What are your favorite life moments?

The Flu

My stomach only hurts as much as a baby hedgehog.

quote #2
moments before BZ got sick LittleZabba tried to stick her fingers in BZ's mouth, even though we told her several times to not touch BZ since she was sick. shortly after BZ got in the bathtub to get cleaned up she said,

BZ: If LittleZabba gets sick this should teach her a lesson about touching me when I am sick!

Slow Down

Seen at my local gas station...


If you don't have time for drive-thru, something in your life needs to change. (plus it just looks gross.. a roller burger?)

A Reunion



















My teaching pals and I went back to our school to surprise our principal and fellow teachers. We had such a fun time. It was great to see everyone again. We have wonderful memories there and the school & teachers will always hold a special place in our hearts. If I ever go back to teaching it will be so tempting to call Mrs. F and ask for my old job back!!

And the winner is....

I was really hoping for a little more participation folks. Oh well, you snooze you lose.




Jennifer was right. The song is from Family Ties, the series finale, when Alex runs to the train station to stop Ellen from leaving. I tried to find a clip of it online, but I couldn't find one.

So, Jennifer you are the big winner! You have won MomSpit, the universal cleanser for the hands and face, courtesy of NeatoStuff.com. I actually have your address, so look for your prize in the mail!

Thanks for playing and you never know when there may be another chance to win.

It's On

So DaddyZabba went running today (with a uncalibrated chip I might add..which means his nike+ chip doesn't know what a true mile is, so his "mile" is a little shorter than mine.) That being said, had he run with a calibrated chip, he probably would have run a faster 5k than me. Good thing the challenge doesn't end until April. I still have time to bring it. Let the trash talk begin.

Pop Quiz

In the spirit of a little friendly competition, and due to the lack of comments...I am starting to feel like I am talking to myself, we are having a contest. Google tells me that there are about 40 of you out there, so who wants to win a prize?

Name the TV show this song was in. For extra credit tell me the scene.

Leave your answer in the comment, a winning answer will be chosen at random, and you will get a prize...for real!

Good luck!

p.s. Sister, I know you know the answer, so sorry...you can't play.
