Summer...finally!

Today was what truly felt like the first day of summer! Up until now since school got out, it's been rainy everyday.

So today was spent at the pool....magazine, diet coke, and ipod in hand! Bliss.

Then, hot dogs and corn on the cob for dinner...bliss continued!

Here's to summer!

Fathers Day

Although Baby Cox isn't quite here yet, RJ deserved his first Fathers Day (he is oh so good to Rocky, Miss Kitty, and Dizzy already). Dizzy and I woke him up with pancakes and licks on the face (from Dizzy, not me!).
Then...Baby gave him a present that will be much enjoyed next Jazz season...still will be a tad big for baby, but he'll definitely still wear it.

A fabulous Sex and the City quote:

“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”

Floozy?

Last summer I was working at Sabor, standing in the server station when I saw a guy come in and stand in the doorway.

I said to the server next to me, "Hum, I think that's one of my kid's dads..."

Super stunned look from server.

Me: "Oh! I'm a teacher..."

She was new, she really thought I might not a) recognize my child's father....b) "One of my kids..." I'm sure she thought, how many do you have floozy?!

Anyone seen that commercial where the nice looking man on the escalator is approached by a nice woman who says, "I think you're one of my kid's dads..." And he details a wild night in Cancun during Spring Break...But what she meant was kid = student. Hilarious.

And true.

Fun Pics

Stumbled on the gem of garage band and photo booth in my tech training class today. good times.

It's a maze in here...

So... this will be a random post, I can feel it already. First of all...RJ just walked in the room and said, "Good news! I've set a new record!" Blank stare from me. "It only took me 30 seconds to get through the maze from the office to our room this time, and I didn't even stub a toe!" Amen. It is a maze around here. No no, not a nice organized one...a messy one. And it's driving me c-r-a-z-y.

The reason for all the hysteria? We're redoing TWO rooms! RJ moved his office into the spare room--it was blah white, and he went with milk chocolate brown...it's really pretty and cozy. He also used some spare wood to make an awesome desk...it's very orginal and different...and if I could find my camera and cord, I'd show a picture...must be lost in the maze.

And second....Baby Cox will have a super cute (read: time consuming) room when all is said and done. It's kind of a Tiffany's blue-green (but muted), with bead board half way up. Lots of painting, nailing, caulking, putty-ing later....and we're half way done! After a trip to Ikea, it's looking like baby's room will take on a vintage-looking look...I like it so far. He must too, because he sure kicks (or does back flips) a lot...that or he's protesting.

In the meantime, I'm considering charging admission for people to come beat the record time for the maze...anyone up for the challenge? Eh? Just grab a paint brush and wash a load of baby clothes on the way through please. (Oooohhh! Maybe we should go with an obstacle course instead!)

Yesterday RJ and I were driving through the canyon from a fun day in Salt Lake (great stuff at IKEA, lunch with family, a fixed tooth)...

Me: "So, I was thinking, we should.........blah blah blah." (Honestly, I can't remember what I was telling him, but it was fairly important and detailed...)

Him: long pause

Me: "Husband?"

Him: "Oh, sorry, what? I was thinking about how quickly I could reach my camera if we saw Big Foot in the canyon..."

Wow....
