Books of 2011 - #15 & #16

Blood Sins & Blood Ties by Kay Hooper


Both of these books are really good! More in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series, and they are good. And addicting! I read both of these books in a week, which isn't typical for me these days. Basically, the Bishop series is about a group of FBI agents who have supernatural powers that help them solve crimes. Very good! I've read quite a few of these books, and I would keep reading more of them!

8-1

Ok. No other words are needed. If you don't know what I'm talking about, sorry! I'm sad and don't wanna talk about it!

Random Conversation

{A bit of bacground on this. You might see a lot of random conversations like this one. I just had to share it. I laughed so much. So so much. My friend Lisa and I always have the weirdest conversations. Lisa bats for the other team, and she's one of those "TMI" people. It never fails to make me laugh. Anyway, here's a convo from Saturday night.}


Lisa: What should I do w my hair?

Kara: Can you curl it?

Lisa: I don't have any spray or mouse :( or a curling iron for that matter. Basically up or straight

Kara: Then go straight.
Kara: I mean, haha.
Kara: Do it straight.

Lisa: Bahahahahahahahha omfg I love you

Kara: Hahahahahahahah

--------

Lisa: I'll text you after my hair goes hetero

Just thought I would share some of the hilarity. I literally laughed out loud for 5 minutes. Maybe I'm simple. Maybe it was really that funny. Who knows.

Anyway, happy Sunday!

Quick Post

Just home quickly to check on the cats. One good thing about camping close to town, I guess!

Last night was horrible. So cold! I'm being optimistic that today is going to be warmer and I put shorts on. We'll see if I'm right! Supposed to get up to 17 I think, so it might be ok.

IF ONLY THE SUN WOULD COME OUT FROM BEHIND THE CLOUDS!

Anyway. Off to the Farmer's Market and then to the campsite! TTYL!

Snow? In June? In CANADA?!?

This is what we woke up to this morning.

How absolutely disgusting.

It is June, isn't it? In Canada, none-the-less.

Doesn't that usually mean that winter is over?

Not in this case.

And apparently it's happening all over the Rockies.

Boo!

And on another lame note, boy-oh-boy was I sick last night. I woke up around 11:30 with sharp shooting pain in my back and the urge to throw up. I actually woke John up because I was moaning so loud. Finally, after a while of not being able to get even remotely comfortable, I got up and tried to walk it off. Tried to throw up. Anything to make the pain stop. I could NOT throw up for the life of me, though I'm 95% sure it would have made me feel better. Eventually I just grabbed a couple pillows and a blanket and tried to sleep on the floor in our guest bathroom.

But, you know what I think it was? Massive stomach gas. I burped a few times, and I felt a bit better. How strange! I now know what it's like for a baby when they don't get burped! I honestly thought I was going to have to wake John up again to take me to the hospital!

So, after a while of sleeping on the floor in the bathroom, I got up and slept on the couch. I stayed there until John went to work at 6, then got back into bed and managed to sleep until 9. Then I woke up to that damn snow.

What a crappy past 24 hours.

Anyways, better go shower so that I'm ready for camping. Yup, we're still going, even in this horrendous weather. At least it's supposed to be nice tomorrow! Farmer's Market tomorrow too!

Hikes

So, I think it's finally nice enough here that we can start hiking! Yay!

There are so many places that we want to check out, but so little time, and so many of them are classified as "difficult" which we are not ready for.

But, I think I found a couple for Sunday that look excellent. Nice, easy, beginner hikes. Considering the last time we really went hiking was last June for my birthday when we did that 27K hike in one day.

Anyways, that's it for tonight. I'm at a loss of words for some reason! I'm just getting tired maybe.

17DD C1D1

Ok. I call a do-over!

Today might not have been the best day to start a diet. And it did not end well.

It started off really well! Eggs, cheese, orange, apple.

Then Costco pepperoni pizza, meat & cheese, a couple of chicken fingers, a spring roll, Wendy's hamburger and Frosty.

And I didn't walk at all.

I guess tomorrow I watch what I eat and walk for an hour! What a day!
