That's my Momma

So we've been staying at Aunt Ali's while my mom took off to spend the weekend with some of her online buddies at the homeschooling conference in PA.

My mom (in remembrance of her childhood nickname, Diana Banana) has been going by Chiquita.

Or Chiq for short.

Apparently she took this a little too literally when she actually became Chiquita Banana when going to pick up her friends at the airport last Friday.


Warning!
To any fans of Journey of a Mother's Heart and the supposed calm and insightful Diane..Brace yourselves! The following picture may come as a bit of a shock.

Bye!

Guess where I'm going on vacation!! Is it here?

Or here?

Or maybe..... Here?


Nope, it's even better...


I'm going HERE!!!!!

Actually, I'm already here..posting on my aunt's computer. Pics when I get home...

And after a week here..we're going HERE!! Yay!

So if I disappear from the internet for like 2 weeks..you'll know I wasn't kidnapped or anything.

2 new cd's

My mom got Switchfoot's  'Beautiful Letdown' and Relient K's  'Five Score and Seven Years ago'. They're both really good. I think I like the Relient K one better, because the lyrics are really clever, but Switchfoot is awesome too.  

My favorite songs from the Switchfoot album are probably 'Ammunition' and 'Redemption'. But that's mostly because I've heard 'Gone' and 'Dare You to Move' so many times it's not even funny. 

And from the Relient K album...I like pretty much all of them. I've always liked 'Best Thing' and 'Must Have Done Something Right'..but I've listened to those way too much. ;-)

My new favorites are: 'I'm Taking You With Me' and 'Faking My Own Suicide'.

'Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care' is fabulous though. ;-D

I actually like 'Death Bed' a lot too. 

See..I can't choose a favorite. ;-)

...

Remember this? It's still being used.





Only now it has a pom pom.
