(Save it, Baby! Count me in!)
So, it goes like this . . .
My darling husband went on this moutain biking trip.
I couldn’t go because I had to stay home and do the “Mommy Thing” and send my kids off to the Homecoming Dance in style (my son’s first!).
So this is what I missed in Bryce Canyon…
Utah...
Riding the "fin" in Bryce -- I have had nightmares about rides just like this!
Beautiful Bryce Canyon
This is the trail... Riding between rocks instead of trees...
I call this "The Balls" of Bryce Canyon!
AND this is what I didn’t miss… My kid’s Homecoming Dance…
And, here he is...
My Handsome Guy
My Precious Duo
My daughter and her date... Yowza
Some of the Gang...
My Girl and her Crew!
I figure Bryce will still be there after this dance… but, this night…
Well, you get the picture.
Be well,
Belle

Save it, Baby! Count me in!
(Save it, Baby! Count me in!)
So, it goes like this . . .
Yes, I think it’s time to clean the fricking house.
God. I hate this part.
Save me.
Help me?
You know you want to . . . right?

Save it, Baby! Count me in!
(Save it, Baby! Count me in!)
So, it goes like this . . .
Yes, there it sits, and here I sit.
Goddammit. That’s on my friggin’ list of things to do before I die. AND, it’s on the 7 Wonders of the World . . . and, here I sit.
Crap.
I have a very close Indian friend. She is from India. Not the “Woo-woo/How” kind of Indian. The kind that you get transferred to when you’re calling any 1-800# anymore.
Well, she is absolutely a divine friend of mine. I have known her for the past 17 years.
She knows my dream of wanting to visit the “Taj.” It’s called, “The Tajjjjjj,” by the way. If you say, “Mahal,” well, then you are just “out.”
So, yes, she knows that I want to go visit “The Tajjjjjjjjjjjjj-Dahhling (I draw it out a little more “j” and throw in a “Dahhling” just to be extra affected!)
She says that even though I am VERY travelled, that I should go with a tour.
Bodies croaking and bloating so much on the streets. Extreme heat, poverty and illness.
Wow, doesn’t that sound like fun?
Frankly, it sounds like Downtown Los Angeles.
Hmmm. Maybe I need to re-think this whole “Tajjjjjj” thing. God knows that I don’t even want to drive into the city, much less pay thousands of dollars and 20 hours on the plane (each way) to get somewhere that’s just like . . . well, like home.
I think I’ll just tap my Ruby Slippers . . . and say, “there’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”
And, here I sit . . . and there it sits . . . safely at home.
Be well,
Belle

Save it, Baby! Count me in!
Okay, this is Belle Karper talking. You’ll have to forgive me, but I’m an author, and well . . . it’s what I do.
I’ll give you a minute to catch your breath. Hurry up, I don’t have all day, baby!
I may have been lame all these years, unknowing that this alter-universe has existed beneath my Southern nose. And, yesterday, on the way into Chicago from Indianapolis, my son and I decided to try this Geo Cache thing.
We did a 1/1, whatever that means, I think it means “EASY.”
Well, we looked at looked at Coxhall Park—A different 1/1, and finally gave up. UGH.
Not so easy for a mother of two spinning downward on a sugar plummet.
Really . . . not pretty.
However, determined we were going to master this little adventure, we promptly drove over to Target and bought a $250 hand held GPS unit. Far be it from me to have something get the best of me. We also bought a PayDay bar to help my glucose level . . . and my attitude.
I digress.
In any event, we loaded the coordinates of “SHAPE UP”, and drove over to meet said coordinates.
Well, once again, we are looking and looking. While simultaneously afraid of getting a vagrancy ticket by a circling police car, we finally sat down to rest.
My son, (brilliant, and he is as beautiful as vanilla ice cream on pecan pie), suggested that we look under . . . (Well, sugar, I just can’t tell you where we looked now, or it would give the whole thing away, now wouldn’t it. But, good for you for trying!)
And, well . . . we looked . . . AND Aaaaah!
I have got to tell you that we almost peed our pants with excitement when we found our first Geo Cache!
Now there was this little ghosty-thing in it, and we have safely tucked it away so that it can get some frequent flyers miles via American Airlines on its way back to Los Angeles. We don’t know how to track it yet, but my son is busy working on that.
We are going to let it go in a future Geo Cache in big, bad L.A.
Now, let me also tell you that my son has the Geo Cache bug . . . BAD.
Thanks a lot, GeoC.
Am I in trouble or what?
Digging this whole new experience!
Consider us bitten.
Be well,
Belle
