Spaztacular Hill Family: Your Wish is My Command

So. How 'bout that week, eh? We cam home from Disney, tired and needing sleep desperately, but overall in a great mood. Unfortunately, the next morning I woke up throwing up. It lasted almost the whole morning, but no one else in my family was sick. Celeste started school again, and even answered a question; "who knows what a big letter is called?" Celeste raised her hand and was called and and said, "UPPERCASE!" some kids laughed (cause they thought it was a funny word) but the teacher said, "stop laughing, Celeste is right!" and her teacher was sooo proud of her. According to Celeste.

Thursday I was minding my own business, making a hat for a little neighbor girl, and BAM! The power went out. Hm. A few min go by and I decided to see if mine was the only one out. I soon discovered that not only were my neighbors without power, but so was everyone else on base. THEN we discovered that ALL of San Diego, parts of Mexico, and Yuma were out of power too!! I heard on the radio that even parts of Las Vegas were out, but I don't know if that's true. The part that made me most uncomfortable was the fact that NO ONE knew what was going on, or WHY the power went out. For a few hours, there were several stories going around involving different power plants, different states, terrorists, aliens...haha. (oK, I started that last one.) The power ended up coming back on around 2:30am, so luckily I didn't lose any food (fridge). School was cancelled the next day, so Celeste spent the ENTIRE day outside playing with her friends.

Have I mentioned I started training for a half marathon? I'm going to be doing the rock & roll half marathon in Vegas Dec 4th. WEEEE!! :) I got new running shoes from Vibram....you know, those toe shoes? Only mine are more normal looking, no toes. After walking Celeste to school and back in them this past week, I finally went running in them yesterday. My shins are a little sore, but that's it.

Latly, I finished Celeste's pirate costume....FINALLY. Here are a few pics I went out and took.
