I have the best friends ever!  Really, I do!!

Qwendy and I in particular have a bond.  We like to be in the know and in the thick of things, we don’t like to miss out on anything…

cimblog(tm): qwendy
cimblog(tm): get in the car
cimblog(tm): go NOW
cimblog(tm): NOOOOOOW

Qwendy: maybe this is a good life lesson
Qwendy: ok

So we brought it around for a life lesson.  We are always looking for ways to teach, we’re givers that way.

Update #1: Second Breaking news: 405 Freeway shutdown in Long Beach area due to police activity

I do not have anyone in that area to dispatch, Qwendy and I are now taking applications for people willing to be dispatched in an emergency…or at our whim, whichever!

Updated #2: There was nothing to see on the train tracks…a detached headlight and a lot traffic enforcement…that’s all.

If you follow me on Facebook you may have noticed that I am putting on a fundraiser.  Every year the girls in my church  attend a girls camp for a week.  Generally, the girls have to pay for themselves–this year we were grated the opportunity to have a fundraiser and since I am the Camp Director for my congregation it falls under my responsibility.

Several ideas were tossed around (and by several I mean two besides mine).  In the end mine was the best, thankyouverymuch!

A woman in my congregation is a professional jazz musician and the glimpses we’ve got of her talent leave me wanting more (my church believes in very conservative music), so the thought of having her do a charity concert had me OVER THE MOON!

Aaaaaaanywho….here goes.  Dear readers, you are cordially invited to attend my fundraiser.  It is going to be a FANTASTIC evening, I promise.  I’m not even kidding.  So, maybe the 5 of you readers would like to buy a ticket?  (there will be treats at intermission…does that help?)  Oh, and if you want to bring friends, that is also acceptable!

I came to Utah for a “family emergency” and took some pictures today.  Enjoy.

[whinning] What the hell iiiiiiis iiiiiiiit?! I must investigate!

Linny: Come see this weird tuber thing in the yard
cimblog(tm): Huh, okay…

This is the “tuber”…uh-huh…suuuuure

I think it’s an alien, we’d better dig deeper!!
[yeeeeeees, with a spooooooooon!!!]

Is that an….EGG SAC ??!!  To perhaps…spawn an ALIEN OUT OF IN MY FRONT YARD!!!

Upon further investigation we find that the “egg sac” is certainly an egg of sorts…

No, really people…what the hell is it?!!!

Dissection!

When we made the cut….it sort of pfffff’ed at me…

Let the guesses begin.  WHAT IS IT???!!!!

[the fact that it looks like a penis did not escape my notice.  did my mother lie to me, and penises come from the ground?!]
