Yo Soy el Pan de Vida
I am the bread of life…uh huh.
What are you doing today??
Saturday. Happy Weekend! Just trying to get in a few posts and cracks at the church, so that I can be struck by lightning later at the party we are having for my niece after it turns into a thunder-tornado-rain disaster. It’s sunny and 68 at 9 am in the city. It’s supposed to storm but let’s all ask God to hold it off. One of his devoted graduates is having a party! Come on! Please?? Pray with me now….
Anyway, the above pic is from the church song book. I thought it was kind of funny. All the songs, excuse me, hymns, were about eating and food of life and drinking the blood…and I was SO hungry. My niece’s school uses Wednesday masses to have major celebratory type events. This is from the “ribbon” ceremony. (All 8th graders get a ribbon to take with them into high school. It symbolizes a bunch of things but I was busy taking the pictures and missed the explanation.) Who does an entire Mass, with extras, on a Wednesday morning, at 9 am, during my Regis, Kelly, and Breakfast Burrito time anyway?? Selfish.
Then, one week later, on Wednesday, (again) we are back in the Church, having another Mass, but this time, the actual Graduation Ceremony is attached to it. It was long and it didn’t start until 7 pm. Morning. Night. These people are all over the place.
But she made it! Got a few awards and a diploma, so it’s on to High School! She’s doing the Public School for this round of edumacation.
All jokes aside, the party is today. Hopefully it stays nice! Come out and have a drink—you might see a one-in-a-million lightning strike! You can stand next to me!
Congratulations Jesse!
Below is a pic of Jesse, in action, walking out of the church, from the ribbon ceremony. You can see the blue ribbon in the right of the pic. I like it better than the “formal” pictures.
And then there should be a graduation picture, and one with the sign. Proof! See you all at the par-tay!
Obviously, we have a few problems in our family.

Meditating (verb)
Definition: To think deeply and quietly: ponder; To consider at length: contemplate.
Speaking of hair…
It reminds me of this commercial, that I love! And I get to use my new video posting skee-lls.
Don’t tell my sister but…
I’ve been using the fabulous OLD product Sun In for my hair. You remember the smelly stuff you sprayed in your wet hair at the beach and then let the sun dry into beautiful blonde highlights?? Or, brassy, dried out hay sticks that cracked when you layed down??
Yeah, well that was the OLD old stuff, the new stuff actually works pretty good. I don’t know if they changed it or improved it…the bottle says it has moisturizers and stuff in it that works best in darker blonde hair but NOT brown or color treated. (My hair is highlighted but pretty faded out and grown, so I figured I was safe.) And maybe, just maybe, soaking your entire head in it is not the correct application.
I proceeded very cautiously. My sister did my hair–very blonde–very beautiful–but very much 3 months ago. I wrote about it. Click HERE if you care. But she lives an hour away, has 2 kids also, and a schedule that doesn’t mesh with mine. Kind of hard to get there even for free. So, I bought it (a loooong time standing in the grocery aisle deciding if I should spend the 7 bucks and then having it look like crap and then having to go to my sisters anyway to have her fix it. Plus, I thought she’d kill me if she ever found out…she was SURE to notice.) and tried it when I went out to the trail to run.
Very carefully, I sprayed it onto my roots only and combed thru a little and went outside. Truthfully it burns the scalp a bit. Not burns I guess, but definitely tingly. And it has a weird chemical odor. Not too bad. But it does work. My hair lightened and it didn’t look fake or streaky or brassy. I applied it minimally, every few days and when I got to a beachy type color, I stopped.
That’s the key. Stopping. Continue to spray it on and my hair would be white and/or orange and NOT cute. Looks pretty natural. My sister thought my hair looked lighter but couldn’t be sure…so success(!) for me.
I’m not recommending though that everyone just get this and skip the salon, those gals and guys deserve their money and it would be VERY easy to kill your hair with the Sun In. But in pinch…
If you can use peroxide (old days) or lemon juice and it works good…try this. It’s better. More control. I’m digging the look. But I have to wait a few weeks now. Says right on the bottle: Highlights will be PERMANENT. It’s addicting, like spray tan. I don’t want to bleach the bleach.
This is what you’re looking for (I think they have another fragrance too):
