Lauren: I have a good scripture for this situation
Dan: Do share.
Lauren : "May God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change."
Dan: Thats not a scripture
Lauren: Pretty sure its in Psalms.
Dan: Its the AA Prayer. Look it up.
A google search yielded less than favorable results for me. Turns out, its the AA prayer. But I still like it. The whole thing is even better than my memorized excerpt.
Also, I am still cursed. I was having a bad day at work and then had a 2 hour Relief society meeting and then my Frye boots finally came and they didn't fit (talk about trauma)! The grand finale came as I pulled into our tiny garage space at 9 at night. And hit the pole. And broke my mirror off.
On a happier note, we went on an adventure. Mark and Leana had heard of this state park w/ Elephant seals so went to see them.
After an 1.5 hour drive and a stop for Falafel, we made it to Ana Nuevo State Park. It had pretty coast, and best of all lots of ELEPHANT SEALS.
Giant Beta Elephant Seals!
Cute Little Weaning Pup Elephant seals!
Angry Elephant Seals
Lots of Relaxing Elephant Seals
Don't the Elephant Seals' tummies looks super soft? I really wanted to run up and pet one.
Me resisting the urge to rub the velvety tummies of the Elephant Seals behind me!
Twas a successful Adventure. Seals were seen. Shwarma was eaten. Friends were had fun with. And did I mention there were Elephant Seals involved? Next week holds many more adventures in store as my Family was so convinced by Rick and Denise's rave reviews of MMA (Mealy Monterey Adventures), that they are coming for one of their own!
In keeping with my goals for the New Year, my new recipe was this Apple German Pancake. Dan didn't like it, so I ate the whole dang thing. Thus negating any potential benefit of my other goal of daily exercise. I still compare myself too much and eat too much unhealthy food. But sometimes you have to have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change.

Once again, sorry about your car! When you get on my blog you'll see how a lot of the pictures on mine and your posts are almost the same. Almost all of them. Except the one that's exactly like the one you took. The one I stole from your blog post. But I hope it's okay...:)
Oh no! Sorry about the bad day, the ill-fitting Frye boots, and most of all the car! Days like that suck! That beach with all those seals looks way fun though! We will have to go sometime and watch the wonder in Aubin's eyes!
Well if it makes you feel better I do the same thing! Its so hard not to indulge and compare!... Those seals look pretty awesome! Why could you not pet them... Are they dangerous? Or just protected by the state?
Don't you love those days where things just keep getting worse! Im sorry you had one of those days! If it makes you feel better I backed into our neighbors garbage can knocked it over, and then the nice ups guy went and tipped it back up.. I was embarrassed to say the least!
Your food looks so good...once again:) I would have ate half! Hope Dan can find something for school... You will be in our prayers! Love ya..
Looks like a beautiful place where you saw the seals! I'm sorry about Dan's schooling i liked your scripture :) It will work out it's hard to see that though. Good luck!
I'm sad we missed the whole elephant seal thing. Good luck with the class situation I can only imagine, but it will work out for the best whatever does.
you forgot, "and wisdom to hide the bodies of those who do not change"
This is a reply to your comment on mine. Thanks for the support, my blog was living a lie but no longer is. I think you should do the same thing. Crap they're mostly about us anyways, why tie an innocent bi-standard into it? Merrill told me he's going to make his own blog now. This should be good.
