Jason is funny- part one

My hubby sometimes says funny things that make me laugh. Last week we met a friend of a friend who is a Physics professor at a local college- and she and Jason talked because Jason likes Physics. Jason later told me that he found out that he could take some Physics classes at the college without having to be a full-time student. Now, you may or may not be aware of this, but Jason's lifelong career plan is to #1 Be able to retire by age 35 and then #2 Find a source of renewable energy and solve the energy crisis. Now that he is well on his way to goal #1, Jason wants to get a jump start on career goal #2. I replied to the Physics class proposal, "Ah, yes. Then you can solve the energy crisis."
Jason said, "Yes, step 1."
I chimed in, "Step 1, take physics classes. Step 2, have a great idea. Step 3, use great idea to solve energy crisis. Step 4, win a Nobel prize. Step 5, Put your Nobel prize on a shelf."
Jason: "I don't want to put up a new shelf."

We are now the proud owners of just one house

Our main objective for the trip back to St. Louis was achieved- we sold the house. I spent Wednesday afternoon at the house to complete the last of the throwing out the garbage and clean up. My friend Maria came over with a 2 year-old and a 3 month old to help me carry an old futon (this was Jason's original college apartment futon mattress that was later replaced by a new one- why we kept it for the past 7 years, I do not know) out to the dumpster. Then Jason and I went to the title company to sign papers. The moving truck should arrive some time in the next week, and then we will have all of our stuff in one home.

Back in the Lou

We arrived in St. Louis on Friday evening for a busy week. We had my friend and prior roommate's wedding in Cape G, MO on Saturday. Casey was a happy, beautiful bride. We were a bit confused when she and new husband, Justin, were introduced at the reception to the tune of "Highway to the Danger Zone." Then, on Sunday, we had the 5th annual barbecue at Cameron's house. Jason was in charge of the washer's tournament again this year and kept everyone in line. My favorite was hanging out with my two-year old friend, Emma K. Emma and I spied a bunny in the next yard. He wasn't moving and I asked her "What's he doing?" She replied, "He's just hangin' out." Which was true. My Mom and Dad drove down from Peoria to visit also, attending the barbeque and helping us with the packing process today. Since my brother Jon stole all my furniture for his new apartment in Chicago, we decided we'd like to stay in hotels when we visit St. Louis from here on out. This trip we are at the brand-new Moonrise hotel in the Loop- it's sweet! www.moonrisehotel.com
After the dumpsters behind our house were too full for anymore of our house garbage, we headed over to Mom and Dad Seats' house for brother Kevin's 21st birthday. I saw Kevin drinking beer. I have to wake up early tomorrow to meet the movers at the house. Jason will not be waking up early- he took his brother to the Casinos.

Murad Oil Control Mattifier spf 15: A Product Review

I hate it when about 4 hours into my day my face needs to be squeegeed. And any makeup I may have put on is around my ankles. Well, like I've mentioned before, it's hot in Texas, and this has been happening to me a lot. I had found a product to control the oil, that I put on under the sunscreen lotion- but the spf lotion was too heavy. Then I found this combo product. I would like to have little higher spf, but this stuff does the trick. If you need a little extra control 6 to 8 hours into your day, touch-up with those oil blotting sheets, and you're good to go. I found it at Sephora.
