Tomorrow I will be flying high in the air on my way to Hood River, Oregon! Packed next to my snowboard gear I have my swim suit. What is better than swimming indoors in a heated pool while it is snowing outside. Ahhhh. Hopefully I’ll come home in one piece. It’s been a few years since I was on a snowboard and I anticipate many bruises. Stay tuned for many, many photos of beautiful Hood River!!!

On a totally unrelated side note. Last night I ate a piece of corn! On the cob! You’re probably sitting there thinking, and? So what? What’s the big deal, etc. And then I say I haven’t eaten corn ON the cob since I was a little girl (like 11 years old) so it IS a big deal (to me anyway). When I had braces I couldn’t eat corn and from that point on I always just cut it off of the cob. I am a very picky eater. If something doesn’t look good I won’t taste it. If I don’t like the way it smells I won’t eat it. I haven’t had steak in I don’t know how long because I don’t like the texture of how it looks. Some would say I’m missing out on a lot of great foods and I probably am. The thing is, if I don’t know how it tastes to begin with how would I miss it? I will now go on record and say I was totally missing out on eating corn off of the cob. There is something very satisfying about biting it and having it pop into your mouth with your teeth busting the kernels. Yum!! Now I’m off to floss my teeth which is why I didn’t eat it off the cob to begin with. =)

I admit I am a little crazy when it comes to the babies eating HFCS, Red Dye #40, Yellow Dye #5, and other crap. It’s good to know I’m not crazy.
