All you need is.......chocolate

Dear faithful readers (all 2 of you) here is my most memorable Sacramento, California story. And it's a story that Kristen will appreciate (but I won't tell of the subject matter until the end, as I don't want to give away the story). So, here goes....

Lori has a 3 year old named Carter. He is not a well behaved child at all. Lori and Duy are constantly yelling at him for misbehaving (jumping on the couches, climbing on the stair railing, jumping off tables, and general hitting and kicking). He even had the nerve to come up to me and punch me in the stomach - not that it was hard to miss, there's so much. But, he was driving me crazy pretty much the whole time. Very disrespectful.

The week I was there, he had a little zip-lock bag full of Hershey's kisses (and no, he never offered me one) that he carried around with him. One day, I was sitting with Tyler (her 12 year old) on the couch watching TV. Carter had been saying "Chick-en! Chick-en!" all week because he wanted to see Chicken Little. (But we didn't because of his unruly behavior). Well, as I was sitting there, Lori was outside smoking, so Carter brought me the baggie, saying "Chick-en! Chick-en!" I figured he needed help opening one of the kisses, so I (being so wonderful) took the bag from him.

Upon examining the contents of the bag (and by examination, I mean squishing it) I realized that it was not, in fact, Hershey's kisses, but it was poop. Yes! He pooped in the bag! And brought it to me. I shoved it at Tyler, and said "I think he pooped in the bag!" And Tyler took it, laughing, to show his mom. I was mortified. Carter just laughed.

The more I think of it, it does make me laugh - especially how he was saying "Chick-en! Chick-en!"

Kristen, I though you'd appreciate a good 'poop' story. (As we all remember the incident of Todd at the bar, announcing that he had to take a sh*t, and Kristen's story of the pea in the Library bathroom....ah, so many memories!)

Anyway, other than that, we just hung out, drank a lot, and I got fake nails put on - which is why there are probably a million spelling errors on this page, it's so hard to type! But, it was fun and relaxing. We saw 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' for $3, it was hilarious and cheap! Not too shabby (*Adam Sandler-ish) We flew over the Rockies on the way back to Minneapolis, and it was really cool to see. I had window seats all the way there and the way back.

And that, my friends, is all I have time for now. More stories of my trip to come, but I thought I'd share the most memorable one with you now. 'Til later....
