Squishy Bodies & Hobo Art

Driving home from Hip Hop class the tween tells me she is in need of a cardboard box for a project.  Cool, I swing through a few alleys, she declines the boxes at Squidco.  I think fast and head to Smart & Final.  We find one perfect cardboard box lonely on the ground.  She exclaims "that'll work" and I see a Hobo selling art in front of Aaron Brothers.  And for 5$, I scored some original Hobo art.
 

I hear Shea yell from her bedroom, "WHAT ARE SQUISHY BODIES?!!!!" TF?  Turns out her perfect box was indeed...

 

Win for all!

6th Grade Camp

Kid went to Cardiff State Beach with her class to go camping this weekend.  I was thrilled that she was far from nervous.  We have taking her camping more times that I can remember, an old pro!  She said that other kids were crying or homesick but she was good.

Got my little cavity filled. Dr. Rodney says I'm all good for now! Yay!

Viva Italia! Gregorian Mass - Check!

Going to the Gregorian Mass in Little Italy has been on the list for many years, last week we finally went.  I can say now, I prefer my mass in Latin,  especially the singing!  The part came in the service when the Father and Choir Boys with there big crosses on sticks head back down the aisle and a lady in the front pew went DOWN with a thump.  Yep.  It was surreal how people seemed to step over her to leave.  Little Italy is so cool!

San Diego Zoo

Having Zoo passes is such a great idea, when there's an hour to kill, and just want to run inside to say hi to Knuckles, the echidina.  Welp, he was already put away, still great none the less :)

Rock Step Cha Cha Cha & T.A.N.G.O.

My fearless partner, Nancy & I have begun to Cha Cha!  Telling myself for years, once I get my ducks in a row, I'll go to Friday night Ballroom Dance classes! Welp, that time is here :)  We have done the Cha Cha & Tango.  I tell you, partnering with a geriatric to tango is tough, I wish I could have shared a slow dance with my grandpa. :)

Argentinian Tango, or as I like to call it, the New Pope Tango,  will be a real challenge.  We're definitely hitting salsa next.

Damn You Coupon!

Mingle Nails in PB
I walked out feeling like I used a coupon.  :(  Which I did, the Deal Me In Today deal, $19 for a shellac mani. I was surprised that I found parking right away.  The didn't take credit, I had to head over to the BOA for cash.  The 2 English speaking ladies seemed to be really going the extra mile for the clients they were working on.  My lady was different.  She politely smiled, didn't ask much.  She put her cell on speaker and had a conversation in another language while she was with me, didn't much care for that.  But.. that I can deal with, slight annoyance.  What I can't do, is the dry scraping of my old gels.  She dry scraped the old old AND pushed my cuticles back with no soaking!  I was in wretched hell!  She barely filed my nails and left the edges sooo sharp I had to file at home and have a chip a few days later.

Oh. and charged me an extra 7 for paining the tips a different color.  She didn't mention the week guarantee, which I read on Yelp. I won't be back, I'll rack that up as my once a year I go into PB.

AND.. website was down and I called for 3 days leaving messages before finally getting ahold of someone.

I liked the polyurethane floor.  That's my star.
