migraines dolphins and gummie bears

i have had a headache for three days straight :| one of those dangerous blinding headaches that makes red lights seem to change to green when they're still red (it happened! and it's very dangerous! maybe i shouldn't be driving... but i love my car so so much!!! it's so dreamy to drive! and much quieter than the house, that's for sure:) and makes you have to sleep upside-down and eat a yogurt at midnight because maybe you're just hungry...? i hate headaches!!! and running out of peace potion - deadly :|

admittedly we spent the entire weekend in glorious sunny San Diego, frolicking at a beeeeaaaautiful ocean park and playing with friendly grinning dolphins, so i shouldn't complain ;)

today i am back to my dreadful cruel walking regime (with headache, i might add... life is such a bitch) i am walking to Trader Joe's for ginger cat cookies and Walgreen's to get some magic gummie bears that i read online will make me feel full- hopefully the gummie bears cancel out the need for so many ginger cats :) how i love this new candy medicine craze! i even have some calcium fudge! i want to invent pickled onion crisps that contain aleve - because that i would buy (hmm but probably overdose... it should come with a BIG warning on the side for piggies like me :)

i am in a mad inventing mood again - last night while tossing and turning i invented a large icepack thing that goes under a mattress pad to keep you cool all night - wouldn't that be so awesome? like a whole body chillow (gawd i want a chillow SO BADLY, and not just because i love marketing plays on words - but alas i am hopeless at remembering to do things like take it out of the freezer at night and put it back in the morning and if i forgot i would start to really resent the chillow's existence... plus putting something full of bed bugs and sweat in the freezer just sounds grossly unhygienic to me... though i am sure the cold would kill the bed bugs and the sweat beads would just drop off ;) hmm, i wonder how the chillow would fit... aha, in a large chest freezer!!! which we don't have... hmm, back to the drawing board :|

off to slather myself with SPF 70 and walk in 100 degree heat 8 miles uphill all the way - life is good as good people everywhere would proclaim!


a game of croquet before cake

this park was full of big pieces of cheese :)


they were begging for snowballs (ohhh... the cuteness hurt my teeth!!!)

speaking of cute: that smile

i love that the lady behind felt the need to smile for our picture :)

    Carol, the chillow doesn't go in the freezer. It has water in it, which at room temperature is cooler than your body temp. Any colder than that and you wouldn't be able to sleep on it. Honest. So go ahead. Order your chillow, no freezer required. You know what? You could order a ton of them and join them all together to make a mattress chillow.
    OR! I know! Get a WATERBED. If you don't use the heater a waterbed is essentially a giant chillow!
