Love isn't finding a perfect person.

It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

Why I love the geese . . .

I LOVE the geese that live around my house. We live on the river and right now all of the goose families on the river come to our house with their new babies and eat from our mulberry tree - love watching the babies grow up. It's so fascinating to watch the Mom and the Dad take turns watching out for their little ones - they are very dedicated to their families.

I love it when the geese take off from the water and their wings flap and hit the water - I love it when they land on the water and look like an out of control jet plane coming in for a landing. I love it when an entire flock flies over me while I'm outside, I can hear their powerful wings cutting through the air, and I love to hear them honking at each other while they're flying above me.

Down the road on Vistula by the pond, there are families of geese that live there and since I walk by them and drive by them many times a day, I feel like I know them. The other day tragedy struck and there was a Mom or Dad goose dead on the side of the road. It probably got struck by some impatient motorist late for work (it better not have been my husband!), and now their mate is mateless and their babies are only one goose tragedy away from being orphans.

I know, I know . . . I'm weird. Trent and Cody have told me that many times - they hate the geese and can't see their beauty the way I see it. So today when I got this post from helpothers.org, I knew I had to share it.

What The Geese Taught Me--posted by JZ on May 26, 2007

Next fall, when you see Geese heading South for the Winter, flying along in V formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way:

As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following.

By flying in V formation the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

People who share a common direction and a sense of community can get where they are going, more quickly and easily, because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.

When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone ... and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.

If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are.

When the Head Goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.

It's sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs with people or with geese flying south.

Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

What do we say when we honk from behind?

Finally...and this is important...when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gunshots, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly, or until it dies; only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group.

If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that


So you see - geese are amazing creatures - that's why I love the geese and am proud of it!!!

Trent's brother, Barry

My husband and his family are going through a really difficult time right now. His brother (middle brother who is 46 years old) is close to dying right now - his organs are failing. Last week he spent 5 days in intensive care where he had to have a blood transfusion because he lost so much blood from hemorraghing. He is suffering from Alcolism and it is killing him - although he would never tell you that. He tells us that right now he is weak from being without food and water for 5 days.

Now he is home with Trent's Mom whose husband (Trent's stepfather) is in full blown Alzheimer's. Praise God that for the past month Hank has had a really good month so that is helping Emma (Trent's Mom) a lot! She really has her hands full.

We are trying our best to help Emma and support her - help Barry and support him. I'm trying my best to be a supportive wife and help my husband watch all of this going on around him. We really don't know what to do except love him and love her.

Last night we did get Barry to get outside for a walk and it took every single ounce of his being to get his shoes on a go down the road about a block. I can't even say how hard it was to watch my husband hold his brother up while Barry concentrated to hard on just putting one foot in front of the other. I am so proud of Trent at the way he is stepping up to the plate to take care of his family and love them. It's really hard when you don't understand the disease of alcoholism and you just want them to be better and not die.

Please pray for Barry, Trent, Emma and the rest of his family.

"The Judge"

Once a month I get a really great newsletter from a Life Coach named Lori Radun. The newsletters are always good, but this one was the best yet and I wanted to pass it on.

Make the Judge Sit Down - By Lori Radun

In almost every relationship, the source of discontent can be traced back to "judgment". Judgment keeps us in the dark and separated from one another. In our house, I call it the "blame game". Disagreements can never be resolved when the focus is on the other person, and what they've done "wrong". There is a big difference between "Who messed up my toys?" and "I am unhappy because my toys are messed up."

Judgment causes defensiveness because an individual can't help but feel they have failed to meet your expectations. Often, we expect people to behave in a certain way, according to what makes us happy. But each person in our lives is on a different path and comes from different life experiences and circumstances. No two people are alike, but that does not make either party "wrong", just "different".

So how can we make "the judge" in us sit down?

First, we must realize that we aren't always going to like everything about everybody in our lives. Our job is not to change other people so we can be happy, but figure out how we can be happy despite our differences. Sometimes we learn to tolerate minor differences, or set boundaries when our limits are being compromised.

Second, grace allows us to see in other people what is also present or possible in us. Our "judgments" can act as a mirror for us to see ourselves more clearly. Whenever I begin to judge another person, I ask myself "When was the last time I acted like this?" More times than not, I can truthfully say I, too, am guilty of the very behavior I am judging.

Third, learning to not take another person's actions personally gives us the ability to stand back from the situation and see things more clearly. How another person acts has absolutely nothing to do with you - it is completely about the other person. When you take another person's words or behaviors personally, you become emotionally attached and charged, and your emotions will cloud your judgment. Take the example of my teenager speaking to me in an angry tone. I can choose to believe that my teenager is speaking disrespectfully to me, and I am then automatically hooked. The reality of the situation is that my teenager is angry and is having a hard time expressing his anger in a healthy way. It has nothing to do with me. I am in a much better position to hear my teenager's anger and help him channel it differently when I am emotionally detached.

Last, you will stop judging others when you stop judging yourself. When we are critical with ourselves, it naturally follows that we will be critical of others. By learning to love and accept those things about you that you don't like, you learn to be more tolerant of other people. You realize that we are all imperfect human beings doing our best with what we have. "The Judge" in us blocks opportunities to see the best in ourselves and others.

When you can make "the judge" sit down, you will have the ability to harmoniously walk, side by side, in your relationships, and grow in the process.

Life is like a roller coaster

Life is like a roller coaster and I'm just trying to hang on and enjoy the highs and the lows.

It's weird how in one day so many great things can happen and so many crappy things too.

If I spend all my time thinking about the crappy things, life is going to be really hard and painful.

But if I spend my time thinking about the good things that happened during the day, life is so much easier and joyful.

Right now we are on the fastest, tallest rollercoaster in the park - and I don't particularly like roller coasters - but I will hang on tight, scream when I need to, have faith that the car will stay on the tracks and take a big deep breath when I have a chance!

Philippians 4:8 (The Message)

Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

We found a dog . . I wish we could keep her!

Tuesday a.m., when we were walking, this dog came running at us and scared the crud out of us - she looks so scary. Trent tried to make her go home, but she laid down in the middle of Vistula and rolled over for him to pet her belly. I ran home with our dog CJ because I was already mourning the loss of my cat - I couldn't stand to see this dog get hit by a car.

So I kept looking and looking for Trent to follow me but he didn't come - about 20 minutes later here he comes down the road with this silly looking dog following right beside him like she had found her new best friend. It was hilarious!

I didn't want to sit outside with her or be anywhere around her because I didn't want to get attached - I just really don't want my heart broken again by an animal for awhile - but I sat outside and had coffee anyway. She had to lay right by us and be touching us - so was so sweet and cute I couldn't help but fall in love with her. We made the plan to keep her safe for the day and then we would walk her back to the area where we found her. By the time Trent got home, Cody and I had her named (Maggie Mae) and had fallen in love with her - we wanted to keep her!

So, long story short, this is no ordinary dog. She's some type of mastiff (the brindle color like her is pretty rare) and is just a puppy around 9 months old and weighing in at around 90 lbs. (we're guessing). People don't dump dogs like this - she's worth a lot of money - we have no idea how she came to be running around lost like she was. I've tried EVERYTHING to find her family, but no luck. She doesn't have a micro chip - no identification - it's like she just appeared out of nowhere.

Well, at least she's taken my mind off of my lost cat for now!

In memory of my Teddy Cat

Well, the adventure with my one of a kind Teddy Cat has come to a close. He has been missing for 2 weeks and I have stopped looking for him and put his food and his bed away. It's time to face it, he's not coming home. I guess he finally used up all of his lives.

He was a great cat. There was never a dull moment with Teddy around. I'll never have another cat as unique as him. I loved that cat and my heart hurts that he won't be around to make me laugh anymore. He had a good life though - a very happy two years.

Having pets is hard - they always end up breaking your heart.

Women in India banding together to fulfill their dreams

Don't seek to merely get rid of

the negative things in your life.

Instead, transform their energy

into something of real positive value.

Ralph Marston

When Phulbasin Yadav and 11 other women set aside $3 a month to start a business, skeptical elders turned the town against them.

When Ms. Yadav learned to ride a bicycle, traveling between villages to set up health clinics and offer hot meals for children, her husband threw her out of the house, saying she was ignoring her duties at home.

Business in Sukuldhain, India had always been a man's world. But today, Yadav is president of a districtwide network of women's groups with businesses ranging from mines to concrete works -– totaling half a million dollars in assets. And, sometimes, when she comes home from a hard day at work, her husband has tea and a hot meal ready for her.

What has followed is essentially an entire subeconomy run exclusively by women who take loans from banks or the government to fund increasingly ambitious projects. In the village of Moher, five women's self-help groups manage and cultivate 116 acres of farmland that generated a $1,500 profit last year. In Dhaba, a dozen women in brightly colored saris mix cement – stirring the sludge with wooden-handled hoes and pouring in gravel that they balance delicately on their heads.

In short, they have done exactly what they were intended to do, says Dinesh Shrivastava, who championed the groups when he was district collector here several years ago. "Women are the best agents for social change," he says. "They have made a revolution."

But in rural India, where more traditional views of the roles of men and women still hold sway, change has not come easily.

"Because I was getting involved in work, my husband started beating me and saying I wasn't doing any work [at home]." He wanted the wife who had helped him as a cattle herd and served the family. Yadav decided she was no longer that person. "I said, 'What I am doing can help many people in the area.'"

So he threw her out of the house. For good measure, his father also threw out Yadav's mother-in-law, who was a member of the self-help group, too. Remembering nights spent sleeping outside, Radhia Bai can now manage a smile.

"I always felt that she was doing right," she says of her daughter-in-law.
So, too, did the government. There is a room in Yadav's house given entirely to plaques, commendations, and awards that she has won during the past six years. One included a gift of some $2,500 – a significant factor in her husband's decision to let Yadav back into the house.

"My husband understood that what I am doing is helping our family," she says. "Now he respects what I am doing.

The $2,500 is being used to help 35 local children pay their way through school, and now, when Yadav is out, her husband cooks and cares for their four children.

A Novel Achievement for 13 year old

Nancy Yi Fan was too young to know she was breaking every rule in the book when she e-mailed her first manuscript directly to the president and CEO of HarperCollins.

''I was being quite bold thinking I had nothing to lose,'' says Nancy, now an eighth-grader. 'I thought, `Maybe she will give me some advice.' ''

Instead the CEO, Jane Friedman, gave her a contract, passing Fan's allegorical story about warring avian factions and their quest for peace to her children's division, which published Swordbird (HarperCollins, $15.99, ages 8-12) this spring.
Now, Fan, 13, is seeing her name on The New York Times bestseller list.

Her story would be amazing for any teen but has another remarkable twist: Fan came to the United States from China just six years ago, knowing only a few words of English. She says ''Miss Goodwin,'' her first English-as-a-Second-Language teacher, ``lit the spark of literature in my heart. Without her, I might not have written Swordbird.''

She started writing simply to express her ideas about ''the importance of peace and freedom,'' with a tale about a villainous hawk that forces enslaved birds to do his bidding.
me the really hard things. Just teach me the tricks,' and within a week I learned to twirl the sword and do some really magnificent moves,'' she says.

Nancy didn't tell her new classmates about her imminent debut as an author, hoping to be a ''normal student.'' They found out anyway. They read about her in the newspapers and ''they would jump out from behind the classroom door with books for me to sign,'' she says.

In April, she traveled to Beijing and Shanghai for the release of the Chinese edition of Swordbird , which she also translated. ''She wrote the novel and then she translated it as a way of keeping up with her native language,'' Yeh says.

This summer Nancy hopes to complete SwordQuest, a prequel, which Yeh already has under contract.

95 year old woman fulfills lifelong dream of graduating from college

Sitting on the front row in her college classes carefully taking notes, Nola Ochs is just as likely to answer questions as to ask them. That's not the only thing distinguishing her from fellow students at Fort Hays State University. She's 95, and when she graduates May 12, she'll be what is believed to be the world's oldest person to be awarded a college degree.

She didn't plan it that way. She just loved to learn as a teenager on a Hodgeman County farm, then as a teacher at a one-room school after graduating from high school and later as a farm wife and mother.

"That yearning for study was still there. I came here with no thought of it being an unusual thing at all," she said. "It was something I wanted to do. It gave me a feeling of satisfaction. I like to study and learn."

"We should all be so lucky and do such amazing things. Her achievement challenges us all to reach for our own goals and dreams," said Tom Nelson, AARP chief operating officer in Washington.

Ochs started taking classes at Dodge City Community College after her husband of 39 years, Vernon, died in 1972. A class here and there over the years, and she was close to having enough hours for an undergraduate degree. Last fall, Ochs moved the 100 miles from her farm southwest of Jetmore to an apartment on campus to complete the final 30 hours to get a general studies degree with an emphasis on history.

Ochs hasn't complained about the work, nor has she asked for special considerations.
In her one-bedroom apartment, books are open and papers and notes are within easy reach when she sits down at her computer to research and write.

"I came up here with that purpose. No, I never doubted it. Other people did it," she said. "I came up here to work, and I enjoy it." An added joy for Ochs is that her 21-year-old granddaughter, Alexandra Ochs, will graduate with her.
After that?

"I'm going to seek employment on a cruise ship as a storyteller," she said, smiling.
The determined look in her eye leaves no doubt she's serious.

What is your dream??

Dreams

So, I've been really busy with this Life Coaching thing, which by the way, is AMAZING! I can't believe I get to do this for my job!

I've been putting on some classes to introduce the work that I do, and one of the classes called "Dream Discovery" - it's a class and a 30 day journal to walk through to help you uncover what your dreams might be. I believe that dreams are tied to purpose, so this is a very important topic.

So, in honor of my ladies that are the Dream Discovery class and taking a next step to live a life of purpose, and in honor of you who might be reading this - I will be posting lots of true and inspirational stories of people who are chasing after their dreams.

I hope you'll be inspired to chase after your dreams - check back often in the next couple weeks!

Smiles per hour

Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other -- it doesn't matter who it is -- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other. -- Mother Teresa

In a bid to create a more harmonious society, Port Phillip, Australia, is putting up road signs indicating a street's smiles per hour!

The city has been using volunteers to find out how often people smile at those who pass them in the street. It then put up signs that look like speed limits, but tell pedestrians that they are in, for example, a "10 smiles per hour zone."

Mayor Janet Bolitho says that putting up the signs is an attempt to encourage people to smile or say "G'day" -- the standard Australian greeting -- to both neighbors and strangers as they stroll down the street.

Smiling encourages people to feel more connected with each other and safer, so it reduces fear of crime -- an important element in the quality of life of many neighborhoods.

Amen Brother!

Here's something from Jay Leno that ILOVED! He is saying here what I wish I could put into words when people complain about our country and our President.

I know it's long, but it's really worth hanging in there and reading the entire thing, especially the end. Let me just say to Jay . . . AMEN Brother!

The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67% of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed, and 69% of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president. I started thinking, ''What are we so unhappy about?''

• Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?


• Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?


• Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?


• Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?


• Maybe it is the abilit y to drive from the Pac ific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?


• Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?


• I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough.


• Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.


• Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings.


• Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an of ficer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family ag ainst attack or loss


• This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents; neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers.


• How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out?

• The president who has a measly 31 percent a pproval rating?


• Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/1 1?


• The same president who cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession?


• Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?


• Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad?


• Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.


• Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an ''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.


• So why then, the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by "justifying" them in one way or another.


• Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your birdcag e. Then start being g rateful for all we have as a country.

There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

Jay Leno

"I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love.

You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward somone who needs help.

There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart.

It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heals our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives."

--Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Feeling menopausal, pregnant and jacked up on caffeine

The past 2 weeks have been very interesting - I'm on steroids to help recover from my surgery and to help heal my spinal nerve damage. Of course, I was scared to death to take it (you know me, miss all natural), but I knew I had to do it.

The first 2 days it didn't really affect me, then - holy cow - it's like being pregnant and menopausal at the same time with about 10 pots of coffee thrown in!!

I'm constantly "wired" and I'm really, really sassy (I'm not my normal laid back self - Trent and Cody just look at me because I get so wound up about stuff). My heart gets beating really fast and my chest, neck and face turn red - it's hilarious - we just have to laugh.

I HAVE to eat every hour and a half or two - it must be what being pregnant feels like. I'm trying to eat a lot of proteins, vegetables and fruit to help my body heal, but it's like there's an alien inside my stomach. I will actually stand in front of the frig and chug chocolate milk from the carton. I order huge meals and eat it all, and I don't leave home without at least 2 snacks. Cody and Trent think that's hilarious too.

Steroids make your body produce a layer of energy (better known as FAT) right under your skin - that's why I'm so wired. Of course, I'm fat too! My face is really chubby and I have a layer of "blub" all over me. The great thing about this is that all of my wrinkles on my face are filled in for now! Cody and Trent think that's hilarious too.

Insomnia is a side effect too. I go to bed about 11 or 12 and at 4:00 a.m. or so my eyes pop open and I am wide awake and ready to go. My mind is REELING with thoughts and ideas and I HAVE to get up and work. The first a.m. in Florida I was shopping at Walmart at 4:45 a.m. - that was a lot of fun! The past few mornings I wake up and take my laptop to Starbucks on Marco Island - they open at 6:00 and I'm usually waiting for them. I just sit outside and get on their wireless. Today I'm sitting here waiting for Trent to call, he's going to come meet me for breakfast and a walk on the beach. It's only 7:30 a.m and I've already gotten 2 hours of work done - I LOVE IT!

Hot Flashes also are a side effect. All of the women in my life that are older think that is hilarious. I'm always cold and sleep with 2 blankets on me (even in the summer). I wake up in the middle of the night and it's like a fire inside me. Trent thinks that is hilarious too.

Even with all of this I am SO THANKFUL that I feel good and have so much energy (even if it is artificial). I could be all drugged up and in pain, but instead I am feeling GREAT and getting lots of stuff done. I'm going to have to do some research and figure out how I can get my body to do this naturally - I could get used to this!

We're in Naples, Florida

Can you believe it? 9 days after surgery and the doctor let me travel to Florida. WOW!

Along with Cody we brought my niece Kayle and nephew Josh down too to visit Grandma Rajski. We are all having a blast!

The weather is beautiful, I love being with my family, I'm so happy to hang out with my husband - LIFE IS GOOD!

Surgery was a HUGE success!

Well, it’s been 6 days since my surgery and things have gone beautifully. It was a huge success and I couldn’t ask for anything more!

When they got in to remove the herniated part of the disc it was actually broken off and plugging up my whole spinal column. The Dr. had to take an extra hour to remove it from being wrapped around the main nerve that controls a lot of important stuff in your body (just your legs, bowels and bladder – some of the stuff you like to use every day).

Technically, there should be some pretty extreme nerve damage from all of that (I walked around with it in there for a month), but through the grace of God, a great medical team and a ton of support from my friends and family I am healing and recuperating incredibly fast.

I’ve already started exercise walking (slowly) and my foot is coming back FAST. They said it would take 6 – 9 months for my spinal nerve to heal (if it was going to heal) but it is already way ahead of schedule! I haven’t even had an aspirin for pain.

I truly feel like I have my very own miracle and I am so grateful!

If you feel like having a laugh, check out the funny videos that Cody took of me when I was waking up from anesthesia. Talk about a teenager’s revenge on his Mom! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzGDdCyend4 AND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH6KGl7XlKM

Thank you for your encouragement, prayers, positive energy, love and friendship. I can definitely say that through all of this I have found what true connection and love is and I have never felt more loved or complete in my life.

My day at the hospital - Before surgery

You'd think for the price I'm paying to be here that I could have a gown that is a little more fashionable!

Nurse Cindy putting on my "anti blood clot" support hose. I'm thinking this will be a great look for Spring Break next week.

One of my favorite parts - the blood test. She was really good, but geez, she took about 25 tubes outta me! Good thing I've been taking my vitamins.

After Surgery

Mmmmmm . . . I really like the anesthesiologist - he was really nice . . . can he give me any more of that shot stuff?

My sweetie feeding me some orange jello so I can go home soon

Yummy - it tastes better when you squish it between your teeth like this.

It's 4:30 and we're outta here. I kind of feel like that jello that I just ate. I was completely out of it and barely remember the car ride home.
