Taurus trouble no more

I have very nice co-workers who wanted to make sure that I don't have any more trouble finding my car in the parking lot at work ... this is what I found when I got to my car yesterday afternoon. Obviously, by the lighting, this photo was taken this morning. Sadly, I didn't have the camera yesterday.

Too many brown Tauruses

Yesterday when I left work, I got into the wrong brown Taurus. I sat in the driver’s seat and thought that it was suspiciously clean. So I looked in the back for the booster seat and ballet bag, and at that point I realized I was in the wrong car. But I forgave myself when I realized there were two brown Tauruses (Taurasi) parked next to each other. And so I got into the next one. But it wasn’t mine either.

I had to walk south about 10 more cars until I found my brown Taurus. It was locked, and messy, and the booster seat and ballet bag were in the back seat, and so I knew I was finally home. Sometimes B feels it is not safe to send me out into the world on my own, and I feel that he may be right.

Our little pumpkins

Happy Halloween from our little pumpkins to yours! Big A and Little A are headed to Grandma and Papa's house this evening while B and I take a belated anniversary getaway to a bed and breakfast tonight. We'll get back tomorrow afternoon and take them to our church's big "10/31" party. Little A plans to dress as Pocahontas and Big A has been back and forth on whether or not she's too big to dress up! That's about it for our weekend plans.

We're missing the big family reunion on my mom's side in Reno this week, and I'm really bummed. Thinking of everyone there and wishing we could be with you.

Thanks to Big A

Big A made my blog cute. Whatcha think? If you are a reader of her blog, she has updated it ...

Pick me! Pick me!

I'm announcing my campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize. I would like to suggest you nominate me, based on the fact that I haven't accomplished anything. I do, on the other hand, have a nice tone. And if I only had to do it for 11 days, I think I could generate a lot of good will and warm fuzzies without the added pressure of, you know, doing anything.

So send in those nomiations. Ashli for the Nobel Peace Prize.


PS: Maybe it was the beer summit? I mean, that was a rather radical approach to generating peace... Oh wait, that didn't happen in the first 11 days of the presidency, so it couldn't been that. We're back to nothing.

A world turned upside down

Is it upside down day?

Jon Gosselin suddenly cares about the welfare of his children, and now Oprah and Obama have both heard the word NO from the international community. Wow ... it must be a weird feeling for all of them.
