Scary Halloween Stuff

I have been picking up some stocks. Fun. While doing my research came across this little nugget

NUGGET

Read carefully the details at the bottom, read slowly make sure you savor those numbers. Mel...maybe you're not crazy.. ~ cough * cough~

Prop 8

At first I was a hard sell,as I have many respected friends who are ....
then I found out the teachers union donated to defeat 8. I want neutrality in schools. Definition wise marriage should stay ideal man and woman. I worry about loss of religious freedom too.

My week ~ Dental and Chemical Peel

I did this first, Tuesday, Asante Spa. They so a few light exfoliating swabs ..with glycolic acid, then they apply the TCA peel the first one burned a bit, the second pass burned a lot for like 3 minutes. Is it worth it? This peeled slightly like when you put glue on your hand an let it dry. I got a few compliments on my skin. I want a medical grade peel now. For real.





For the filling of 3 teeth (don't laugh, I have been to the dentist like 3 times my whole life.) Dr. Cope's office is the Golden Standard in Dental care and patient comfort. I never felt a thing. I was not asleep however, just out of it for half the procedure. (It took 2 hours) I was given a lot of numbing shots and some nitrous. I started humming along with the drill. My smile is not crooked now, not why I went in but certainly a huge plus. I'm ready to do more teeth now :')

Today & Tomorrow ~ Swimming anyone?

It is sooo hot still.

Fri

Fun....Stinson Beach

Ana took these for us. I love it when pictures of me are overly bright. I like these a lot.

We thought it would be really cold so no swimsuits it started out warmish, so we let Nolan wear undies. He was freezing a half an hour later poor guy!


Gabe n Leah being sandpipers I think

What is this Beast? They dragged it around for a while. Ben liked popping the "sea pods".

Story of Stuff

I read others blogs. Duh. I really like this clip. Story of Stuff


I buy most things used, My kids don't have crazy presents parties, we cut waaaay back for Christmas. only 1 gift a small one from mom n dad, but a huge feast and lots of family. Clothes are hard I love them ..but they come from Ebay , or GULP goodwill. I for some reason CAN NOT pay store prices for things , unless it's under 10$. I still feel guilty and want to try harder. I want to try the 100 things challenge with my family. Each of us can own 100 things each. thats just 700 things including clothes in our house. hmm
