you really never know what the day will bring...

This morning started out like any other morning. #2 asked if we could go to breakfast since #1 is at scout camp. She's been wanting to go to this little place in Kaysville called Grannie Annies. Dad said yes, so off we went. I want to like pancakes. I like the idea of pancakes. I love the whole stack thing with syrup dripping over the edge. But I don't like pancakes. I don't like them homemade or out. But I want to. So when the kids ordered them, I tried them. They were everything a pancake should be. They were Fab.u.lous. I loved them. They tasted just like I've always imagined a pancake should. Light, fluffy and just yummy.

We were partway through the huge stack, when low and behold - my daughter said "what's this on my plate - I think it's a hair"

It was a hair, a shortish coarse red hair. EWWWWWWWWWW - it was either a beard hair or a hair from down below. I got out my reading glasses and looked very closely and there was a tag at the end, where it had been attached to someone. EWWWWWWWWW - I called the waitress over and she took it in the back to see who it belonged to. She came back and told me both the cooks had white hair so it wasn't theirs. She told me the hair was from a brush they used to brush oil on the grill and she brought one out to show me - except it was long and white and bore NO resemblance to the one we found. The waitress insisted it was from the brush and then walked away - never to return to our table. She did tell the kids the secret ingredient in the pancakes while I was examining the hairs - cake mix!

I was sad. I finally found the pancakes of my dreams, only to find them covered in extreme nastiness.

Which turned out to be a good thing I suppose, for I shall never eat pancakes or anything else ever again.

I tried on bathing suits today. I was HUMIDIFIED - Ruby's word for humiliated and mortified - my new favorite word (she's very inspirational if you need to lose weight). I am seriously thinking of reviving the bathing suit that covers the entire body. Those of you who have met me know I'm a plus size gal. Those of you who haven't - well now ya know! I'm not crazy about my body and I am s-l-o-w-l-y working on being healthier and losing weight. But nothing gives you a smack upside the head than trying on bathing suits and then looking in the mirror. Oh the horrors!! I've never been so glad to put clothes on in my life!

Then this afternoon I got a call from #1 at Scout Camp - he's sick and needs to come home. So at 5pm we jump in the car and take a trip down to Moab - which is a mere 4.5 hours away! Consequently we are at the Super 8 in Green River which was not part of today's plans! He is doing much better, and was very relieved to see us. So sad it didn't work out for him since he was so very excited. He did get to go on the major hike today though and took some amazing pictures.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Or should I?
