This sorting of candy (and the eating process that started with red) below was not an exercise. Just raw personality coming out.

The thing that entertained me most today
I've been in all day leadership meetings (ie bare your soul, get to know each other, let's bond over Catholic Healthcare) the past two days. There is no shortage of snacks to match the emotions shared.
So blessed
I am in Citrus Grove (suburb of Sacramento) staying at Christ the King Spritual Retreat Center.
As you can see the physical accommodations are not great

Wind in your hair - addendum
My parents had a hot house in the summer (in Utah it was a cold house In the winter). When we moved to Whitton the bathroom situation was horrendous during June and July. I figured out the best way to do make up was in the Thundebird (in the driveway - full a/c on).
Today this day I prefer to do my makeup in the car (now when carpooling with Tarzan or in the work parking lot), the lighting is just better.
And I cool my bathroom with a fan (yeah Ruth is getting one).
And I prefer a hotter house in the summer and a cooler one on the winter. Artificial air annoys me. Thanks dad ;)
Wind in your hair
Arizona is hot (yeah I know), really hot. Nothing is worse than blow drying your hair and getting hotter.
My new solution (insert 109 degrees here) is taking taking advantage of the dry heat.
Saves time, electricity and keeps you cooler.
Thank goodness for straight hair

Sleeping Beauty
Today I said to REM, "CEM did something today she hasn't done in 9 years". In which she responded, "what brush her teeth" (smart a$$ sister).
This is what early morning swim team and pre-jr high looks like.

A modern day fable
KING ARTHUR AND THE OLD UGLY WOMAN
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question?... What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old ugly woman, for only she would have the answer..
But the price would be high; as the woman was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the old woman. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old ugly woman wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the woman answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the woman had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the ugly woman had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.
The young beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared ugly, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends; but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old ugly woman? Or, would he prefer having a hideous woman during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below.
BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.
OKAY?
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now....what is the moral to this story?
The moral is...
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly...
