During...

Let the Countdown Begin!

One month until Relay for Life in Chino. Thanks to those that have joined the team (and those that I've volunteered). :)

If you can make a donation to our team, go here. Every little bit will help us reach our goal!

You can also donate Luminarias in honor or memory of a friend or loved one who has fought cancer.

If you are a cancer survivor, let me know there are special events for you throughout the day and we'd be honored if you'd join us.

There's going to be an all night softball tournament the night of the relay. If you're playing softball, I don't have to walk! :)

OCD?

I love that my cleaning lady lined up all of my bottles in height order!

Before...

Adventures with Rachel

Today Rachel and I took an early lunch to try and snag some free ribs from Pat & Oscars. We were not willing to wait in much of a line as we didn't want them that badly, but figured it was worth a try. (They were giving away free ribs to the first 110 people at each location). When we got there, this was the line:






So we left.



I sent the picture to Kim and then handed Mr. Pearl over to Rachel to have her follow up with a message. (It's all part of our master plan to get Rachel a Pearl - the more she uses it, the more she'll want one). As Kim1Champ pointed out yesterday, today is the first day under the new cell phone law which prevents you from holding a cell phone to your ear while driving.



While stopped at a red light, Rachel handed the phone back to me and I started browsing through my Inbox . Rachel started to say "That cop is totally looking for people..." when the Buena Park Police Officer in the cruiser next to us (who was also holding his cell phone) waved at us.



Rachel rolled down the window and the follow exchanged:

BPPD: (while laughing) You can get a ticket for that.

Me: (laughing with him) I wasn't talking on it, just holding it.

BPPD: CHP will still give you a ticket for that. But it's okay, I use mine too (holds up his phone).

Me: OK (Rachel rolls back up the window)



Me to Rachel: Not true. The phone has to be up to your ear. You can still text while driving. It's a loop hole. You just can't have the phone against your ear. Had he actually given me a ticket, I would have used the cell phone in question to pull up the law and show him.
