Monti has a thing for the planet Uranus.

I was asking her why do you like Uranus so much today. She responded:

“I love the colors, and I love the way you pronounce it.”

Both my girls were so brave. I have a video of Monti getting hers done but Dahlia’s face says so much in these pictures…

A little nervous……

OK I think I want mom now……..

No words for that face.

This one breaks my heart…. She just couldn’t hold them back anymore.

Suckers to the rescue (she doesn’t like suckers but she enjoyed picking one out).

Pure sweetness

Now the fun part – picking out the earrings!

The girls made me some great cards for my birthday. Monti’s is below (cover and inside).

Dahlia’s:

Dahlia to Monti:” Have you ever tried Peppermint?”
Monti:”No”
Dahlia:”It really really really really really pepperminty”.

My left leg has been aching and aching quite a bit lately. I finally went in today to get it checked. The PA told me that my lower L5 or something (right near the “BEAR” of BEARING in the pic below) is out 50% now and immediately scheduled an MRI which I also got today. I see a spine specialist Monday to discuss what the plan is.

Good times.

Saw this on the road yesterday. I’m guessing it doesn’t have air bags but not 100% sure. Maybe the half steering wheel was the giveaway.

Elsa and I had a kidless afternoon a few weeks ago and hiked Little Si in Snoqualmie.

We played online video poker a week or two ago. Art went all in with King-Ten suited. Mat called with Jack 7 suited. Art caught a pair on the flop, as did Mat. But Mat caught the 3rd Jack on the turn and beat him down. Art was ready to play something else so I don’t think he was too disheartened. Note I am the hot blonde on the end of the table. The night was finished by Mat and Pat chopping the take.
