I love my 3G iPhone

Cary waited in line for three hours last Friday at the Fashion Valley mall (I decided to shop) so we could get the new iPhone and I am in love with it. I'm not a big techno-geek girl but it is awesome, especially for moms. It has every feature I could imagine and it doesn't come with directions because it is so easy to use. Also, now you can actually call me on my cell phone. I got rid of that other piece-of-junk phone that never worked.

For you Diane

Diane wanted me to post my salad recipe from Carmen's babyshower. It is so easy to make and very yummy.

I buy a box of the Suddenly Pasta Salad-Chipotle Ranch type, and make up the box according to its directions.

Then I stir in whatever I have on hand into the finished salad:
cubed chicken
cubed or shredded Cheddar cheese
chopped fresh tomato
chopped green onions
chopped avocado
frozen corn (add the last 3 minutes of cooking the pasta)
can of black beans
top with tortilla chips

It tastes good with all of these stir ins or only one or two of them.

Nutrition Update

Some interesting nutrition tidbits:

1. McDonald's Fries Go Trans-Fat Free--Many of you have heard me complain about how eating McDonald's fries are actually worse for your body than smoking a cigarette. They are lethal. The good news is that McDonald's has announced it is making a change to go with a Trans-Fat free oil. So even though I don't recommend the fries, if you do eat them or give them to your kids, you don't need to feel as bad.

2. Kraft has come out with a mayonnaise made with olive oil. The product has half the fat and calories as regular Kraft mayonnaise and the fat used is a good fat for our bodies.

3. After some investigation, it has been found that restaurant dishes targeted to health conscious consumers actually contained twice the calories and eight times the grams of fat than was originally claimed. Chili's, Taco Bell and Applebee's are some of the restaurants at fault.

Our trip to RENO

Since we were going to Cary's sister's wedding in Reno, we decided to make a road-trip out of it. We toured parts of Yosemite and saw the giant Sequoias. We went over Tioga pass which is the highest road in the U.S. and went through Bodie, a real Ghost Town. The kids were so funny because when we were on the hike seeing the Sequoias they were complaining practically the entire time about how tired their legs were. Cary and I didn't think they enjoyed themselves and then the next day they were talking about how great it was. Who would have known with all the complaints.

Beth's Wedding in Reno

Cary's youngest sister's wedding. Truly Rockabilly style.

I LOVED IT!!

I really wanted to Blog about our going to the WICKED musical because it was SO SO GOOD! We took Chaz and Ali and had 2nd row seats. Needless to say, they both loved it too. As Cary and I say, we're making memories!!!
