Ten on Thursday…

I missed Ten on Tuesday. I don’t know of a number that starts with W so I waited til today to blog :) . Ten on Thursday, it is.

1. I accidentally hosed someone during a carwash last Saturday. I was spraying over the top of a Tundra, and I didn’t realize the owner was in front of the truck….Oops! We couldn’t give him a refund because the carwash was free. We just didn’t advertise that it might come with a side of shower.

2. Our pastor told the story the next day. Oy!  And I discovered that I almost tripped someone, as well – with the same hose. Our drummer had to do his best twinkle-toes imitation and hop over the water conveyor to avoid a face plant.

3. Speaking of face plants, I almost did one… Surprise, surprise. I, myself, managed to trip over the hose (I’m trying to see how many times  I can type hose). My face was two inches from making contact with the ground, and I had to do some unpretty maneuvering to avoid strawberries all over my face. So I got them on my knees and elbows instead. Thankfully, no one witnessed my acrobatic attempts–except for my husband, who promptly yelled, “Are you ok, sweetie?” I didn’t want to look and see just how many people saw me embarrass myself, yet again.

 4. I don’t think I’ll be allowed to touch a hose again anytime soon. The church will probably confine me to drying duties. Hopefully, I can’t do any damage with a chamois. :)

Then, a couple days later, she got a couple more from her Uncle Derek. Now, she’s got three oversized, yellow construction vehicles she pushes all over the place. Thanks, Derek and Kristie! :)

6. I can’t take all the credit for the compositions on my photos, lately, as I’m often being directed by Keilah. “Mommy, take a picture of me through this hole.” “Get on your tummy, and shoot it from below while I look down.” ”Make sure you…”


7.  We love San Diego. There’s always free stuff to go to on the weekends. So long as we get up out of bed and stop wrestling.  space-day.jpg 8.  This past weekend’s excursion was to Space Day at the Aerospace Museum. Looking at solar flares through huge telescopes is just cool. 9.  David found out about Space Day from geekdad.. His favorite blog.closeup.jpg10. I love imperfect pictures. Sure, I could have cloned out the hair on her face and the traces of Doritos around her mouth but it wouldn’t be *her.*

  3. I just love your photo of your daughter with the tutu next to the Tonka Truck. Not only is it a great looking photo but it tells a story. I enjoyed admiring your photography.

  4. So Nely, are you saying that in the event of a lightening storm, everyone should stand well clear of you, because you seem to be a disaster magnet?
