It

Something very exciting/stressful is happening next week. I can't tell you what it is because that would be putting too much pressure on me...this way there is a little pressure, but if it does not go well you will never hear of it again, and because you don't know what it is you can't ask about it...get it?

Anyway just letting you all know that we are alive, and despite what this picture shows we have not stopped to smell the roses in a looong time. I'll post again after it is over.

Peek - a - boo...

Yesterday it rained here in Los Angeles, which I greatly prefer over the sweltering conditions of last week. I am sure you all heard that last Monday, Los Angeles hit a record high of 113°F. Yuck!

Anyway yesterday is my "long day," I don't get out of class until 10pm. Since I don't think it is safe to wait for a bus that late at night I drive to school. As I was headed out for school yesterday, I was sure there was an umbrella in the car. I drove the car to the parking lot near my last class and went in search of this umbrella...no luck. Not wanting to be late for my first class I decided to go without. Rain here in Los Angeles is different from the storms that you get in Northern Arizona. There is not a torrential downpour, and I have only heard thunder one time since moving here. Instead the rain here is just slow and steady. Yesterday, was just that slow and steady.

I waited for the shuttle that takes me over to my late class for 25 minutes in this slow and steady Los Angeles rain. Before heading into class I stopped by the car to switch out my books, and there it was peering out from under the seat. I searched for ten minutes in the morning on hands and knees and did not feel or see an umbrella...but the second I was not in need of it there it was.

That is the definition of a "Janet moment," I am that person that can never find what I want when I want it, but can always find an abundance of whatever is no longer needed. Lucky for me this cracks me up more than anything else.

Thank you rain,for the adventure. I have missed you!!!!!!!
