My New Car!

2008 Scion TC

What a Difference, A Day Makes...

On Monday, 4/5/10 around 11:45, I was going from school at SDSU to work at Dr. Bressler's office, and lost control of my car on the freeway on ramp. It was raining and the road was slick and I hydroplaned into the cement divide. Luckily no other cars or people were involved, but there were a couple close calls (it was around a blind turn, and a couple cars had to swerve to miss my car).

It was very scary, and I am very lucky that I was able to walk away from the incident with just airbag burn and a scratched cornea. Here are pictures of my car as well as my face.

I think it is very interesting how much my face has changed in 4 days:

SUNDAY afternoon (Easter):


MONDAY Afternoon:

(Jeff said "Smile!")


TUESDAY Morning:


Wednesday Morning (6am):




Wednesday Afternoon (now):

St. Patty's Day 10K race pics

I forgot to post these. They are from the St. Patty's day 10K I did on St. Patty's Day. My running partner, Tracy is in the green. She's the best!









We got there late, and had to park 2 miles away, so 6.6 miles turned into 8.6 miles. We had to take our own time for the race, and surprised ourselves by running it in 57 minutes. That is much faster than our training speed. I guess adrenaline kicked in and we were able to get a great time!

Spring Break and visit from The Deals

Jeff's twin sister, Sarah came for a visit with her family. It was a lot of fun having them here. On Tuesday night, the first night they were in San Diego, we took the whole gang to Old Town Mexican Cafe for Taco Tuesday. Esta muy delicioso! Afterwards we watched Lost (so they could experience how great the Lost/Taco Tuesday combination is).

The next day, Jeff and I both took off of work. In the morning, I went on one of my shorter runs (7 miles) down on the harbor with my friend Tracy (who is training for the Rock N Roll Marathon with me). It was my first time in a really long time down by the harbor, and it was a lot of fun seeing the artwork. I was especially impressed by this sculpture. I have seen it on the news and never really understood how impressive it was until I was standing in front of it. It is called "Unconditional Surrender" and was erected in 2007.






Here are some pictures from our trip to the zoo on Wednesday:

Harper pulling a sad face in the petting zoo



Sarah at the Global warming part of the zoo - Funded by Al Gore ;-)







Harper and Logan got their faces painted - Harper got a butterfly and Logan became a Lion.






On Saturday, we went to Disneyland, and had a lot of fun. I did volunteer work so I got a free pass. It was nice getting in for free :-)

We went on a couple rides. When Jeff and I first got in, we went to see Captain E.O. staring Michael Jackson from the 1986...and it was every bit as amazing as I remembered it. Highlight of spring break for me!!

First we went on the Carousel and then Its a Small World. Here are some pictures:

Harper would say "I don't want to go on wiiiidddeess!"


Jeff and me on the Carousel







Harper pulling another face. She is so funny!




Then Harper got transformed into a Princess!!!







You gotta watch this:






She even got to do a photo shoot with some woodland creatures and then in the coach to the ball!








After all that, the kids were tired, so Jeff, Craig, Sarah and I got some time to spend alone together, and we chose to go on Space Mountain. it was so much fun!!
