Jenn, truly risk-taking! Yikes!

CS, back up, what is this “bubble bath” of which you speak??

I do dangerous mid-life living all the time. I drink orange juice directly from the pitcher when no one’s looking. I fall asleep in a bubble bath. I take on home remodeling projects without getting advice. And I date.

I’m a thrill seeker. I walked onto the pool this weekend. And discovered it’s not quite froze enough to skate on. Woo hoo!

Look at all you thrill seekers!

I forgot I do turn into “Super Mommy” when I save the Kid from getting creamed by a mac truck. That’s always exciting (to me, since she doesn’t notice the impeding harm)!

Don’t you chase them around the house? Don’t you try to wrestle them into their clothes? Don’t you have to routinely save them from certain doom? I’d say you’re probably more a daredevil than you thought.

I have been known to . . .

. . .go grocery shopping with 4 kids in tow (during 5pm “rush hour” at Safeway, no less.
. . .slide down the wicked metal slide at Waterfront Park.
. . .pick up a brown glob off the kitchen floor and (assuming it was a chocolate chip) EAT IT!

How about this — Hooking up a new video phone that rings when I call it from my cell phone and I actually can see — myself, of course! So far, nobody has a connection so that I can try it out. Now, hopefully, there’s a thrill waiting in my not too distant future….. seeing my kids and grandkids via telephone.

hehe – my big thrill for today (eerr now yesterday) was a diaper blowout complements of my nearly four month old daughter that required me to change my shirt and pants.
