What to do... Part I.

Sometimes, sometimes, people ask what my family and I do when we visit my Gramma. And since they sometimes ask, I will share with some photos.

You can run on beautiful trails, just behind your Masani's (Grandma's) house!


You can have a good view of the Monsoon Season. AND indulge in the soothing, refreshing, and delicious scent of damp earth, sage, and pine. A scent that only the rain can create successfully and naturally.


You can have "jumping-off-trucks" contests with your little bro. (And with other limber relatives, if they are present).


You can use your Masani for a pillow while you watch t.v. (Although you cannot exceed a certain weight limit for this).


You can volunteer to hand out goody-bags to drivers at DWI checkpoints.


...You can teach kids to climb rocks.


And you can help your niece make party-hats. Then give one to your Masani, who puts it on and wears it while she naps.


That's it for Part I.
P.S. Shi'masani aka My Gramma is awesome. We showed her the pictures we took of her and she laughed.


Procrastinating Homeowork.

Yeah I meant to add the extra "o" in homework. Where did I get the inspiration from? Why, from my homework of course. We covered homeostasis a few weeks ago in my A&P class. I then went to the tutoring center to fully understand and grasp this wonderful topic. There were many tables set up in the T.C. Each one had a specific label: English, Math, Chemistry, etc. The labels looked like the flags you raise/lower at Ponchos in Mesa, AZ. Except... you didn't get tasty Mexican-American comida :(

I sat at the "Biology" table, pulled out my books and notes, then patiently waited for a tutor. A tall cowboy with a trucker's hat and Justin steel-toe boots sat down next to me. Justin Steeltoe asked what I needed help with. I told him "I don't fully understand homo-stasis."
He said, "Well, what don't you understand?"
Me: "The negative and positive feedback."
Justin: "Oh (proceeds to tell me about negative feedback)."
Me: "Oh! I wish my instructor would explain homo-stasis in a simple way like this."
Justin: "Hmmm... first of all it's homeo-stasis. Not homo-stasis. Home-ee-yo. Like... sup homie yo."
Me: "Haha! Well, if I knew how to say it right, I probably wouldn't be in the tutoring center."
Justin: "Haha! Right?"
He's a cool guy.


Anyways. After explaining my title for this post, I will get to the point... I'm procrastinating homework. Wanna know how? I think these pictures explain:



Haha!
