Fame!
I’m off to San Francisco (at 5am tomorrow morning!!). So I will try and update you with a random picture. But I can’t wait - everyone says I’ll love it!

I am anxiously awaiting summer, and day dreaming about vacations.
And, I can’t wait to get to…
LOVE ME,
And my traveling bone,

But it should be! FAMOUS…. I’ve missed you, virtually.
This is full of items that do not relate to each other whatsoever, but I feel like chatting with you about. They include 1) My thoughts on MJ, 2) vacation, 3) animals and couches, and 4) The Proposal (I’m referring to the movie, not anything that didn’t happen yet - I love you Jayson 
). And oh yeah, 5) Clare.
1. MJ’s death - At first, I was maybe a little shocked. But, he’s not been the King of Pop for some time now, and has been more like Wacko Jacko (as the press referred to him not so long ago). However, the next day, my family and I listened to his greatest hits, and listening to the King of Pop did make it a little sad. I’m just not sure he’ll ever be understood for whatever the heck’s been going on with him for the last decade + some. And, sidenote, can you believe he was renting for $100,000 month?!? Unreal, I thought he was in debt.
2. Loved vacation. I didn’t even burn. However, more freckles have appeared. And Ann’s boyfriend has freckles on his elbows, too - I’m not the only one! I have pictures on a waterproof camera that I cannot currently share with you. Here is the view from our balcony.
Also, as for hours upon hours in the car, in 3 days we drove from S. Padre Island to Grand Forks, ND. That’s cross country if you ask me. Three weeks off and then we drive to British Columbia. I love car rides, I love car rides, I love car rides…
Ruby loves Grandma’s house. There is so much to do!
3. Speaking of Ruby, I told you that she and Max love the couches. I HAD to cover them. They live on them.
4. The Proposal - If you haven’t seen it, SEE IT. All I have to say is, ” To the window… To the wall… To the sweat drop down my balls.”
I laughed until I cried. It’s FUNNY!
5. Clare (well, first, Jen’s belly, then Clare).
Finally - HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
Any big city plans?
LOVE ME,
And all my links, photos, and videos. I can’t wait to see you soon? Yes, that’s a question. Hopefully we can get together when you are in town.

Famous!
Sorry for the delay in writing, I’M ON VACATION! And loving every minute of it. Except the 20 minutes I tried jogging outside at 11:00am. It’s way too hot and humid at that time, and I refuse to get up before 9am on my vacation to jog while it’s barely 90. I’m a temperature snob now. In GF, I only wish for 80 or 90 about 6 months out of the year! And, I guess I’m really on vacation all summer since I have the summers off. But this is a destination vacation.
I also want to start watching Whatever, Martha! How did you find it? What time is it on? I think that show is a fantastic idea. Not sure if anyone would watch it, but I would like to watch Jayson and I watching something like American Idol or Grey’s Anatomy together. He’s always got something to say.
So far I’ve driven 27 1/2 hours. By the end of this trip, I will have logged about 30 more. I’ll get to rest in GF for about 3 weeks, then we’re taking another rode trip! Speaking of road trips, Jayson got a NEW CAR - A black Pontiac Torrent with all the fix’ens! So the days of driving haven’t been horrible in our new ride!
Otherwise I’ve been sitting poolside mostly. Soaking up the rays. I don’t really tan, at least not that other people notice, but I see the lines!
I honeslty haven’t been doing much except being outside, so I haven’t been reading or browsing much online. Haven’t even really read books or magazines. I did start a book in the car, and I’m only one or two chapters in, but I think I’ll love it. Jayson gave me The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach To Igniting Your Divine Spark for my birthday. Sera Beak, a.k.a Spiritual Cowgirl, also posted the entire intro on her blog.
Soooo, since I’m being boring on my vacation, BECAUSE IT’S MY VACATION!!, I’ll leave you with Georgetown and Austin pics from Flickr:
I should have some pictures (of my own) from Padre Island. I head down their on Friday, so I may be out of touch for a while! How’s the new spinning classes? Are you enjoying being the teacher?
LOVE ME,
And my tan that no one will notice is a tan, but it does brings out my freckles. That’s the price I pay for being a kind of red/auburn head I guess,

P.S. Nate left me a message, Jen had the baby - A girl named Clare!
