Choke Canyon

Ok, so if you know me even slightly, you know that my hubby LOVES to fish. So, the other day we went fishing...this is a HUGE deal b/c I haven't gone fishing with him in quite awhile. You know, that whole LIFE thing getting in the way. The interesting thing about Choke Canyon is that there is a lot more to see there than just fish. This is also a reason I won't let Little go fishing on this lake b/c she doesn't understand danger and there is a lot of danger at this lake. Anyway, here are some pictures!

Gator, only about 10 ft. long. He didn't like us being around.

BIG snake sunning himself. He ignored us!

First fish of the day!

More fishies!

I'm in love....

....with Blue Bell Ice Cream's Candy Jar. When I saw it in the store, I was curious as to what type of candy they put in it. Quite honestly, I'm think it was hard candy and I really thought that would be gross....but I read the incredients: peanut butter cups (do I need to continue reading, isn't that enough to throw multiple containers in the basket?)....I digress, sorry, chocolate chunks, peanut brittle.....some other things, like ice cream, but I don't remember everything 'cause I'm stuck on the peanut butter cups!!!

Take it home. Hubby pulls it out of the bag and gives me this weird look, he's thinking candy? ok, reads the ingredients and says it might work. So, eat a bowl last night and I am in HEAVEN, angels singing....he thinks there is too much peanut butter. What???? How can that be possible. It can't, b/c there isn't. It is FANTASTIC!!! Stop reading right now and go to HEB and get you a 1/2 gallon, or just go ahead and buy two b/c you'll need it!! Happy eating!!!

On the bike again....

....I rode in a bike event this past weekend. It was in Bastrop, through the "rolling" hills of Bastrop park. Ever been there? Me neither and the hills weren't hills, they were pains in my butt, literally. I had to get off my bike and walk (don't worry, I wasn't alone). If you know anyone who rides, this is just not something you do. I have been humbled. I used to ride all of the time, I used to ride LONG distances. This was a short distance of 27 miles that kicked my aching A@#!!!!!

Over 1500 cyclists. BTW, I registered the day of and didn't get a packet or even a tshirt!!! Bummer!!!!
This was me afterwards...I'm hiding the fact that my backside is KILLING me!!!

I feel ok today. I'm a little tired. I did run this morning to work out the kinks, but you'd think I did something worthy of this pain. My muscles aren't up to their former status! Boy, do I have a lot of work to do!!!

out of the mouth of babes.....

Actually, just out of the mouth of my child,
When I picked her up from the sitter, she ran to the television and pointed to it and told me, "Mamma in tv, mamma inside." Cracked me up!

I was showing the segment to Malcolm and she saw me and said again that I was in the tv and then she saw her baby and said, "That's MY baby!"

When I brush her hair, "Get off of me!" or "Go away!"

She makes me laugh, which is always a good thing!

Almost famous....

MIA

I really am just consumed with a million other things. We did go to the zoo, have you seen the pictures? Nope, me neither.....I'll be back, I promiss....thanks for hanging in there!

No comment needed

A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS:

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi happened to appear.

Ms. Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease. 'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?' 'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track.' 'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi. Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?''

Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history.'
