Insuring an Astronaut

Note: Posting will continue to be light as I’m still suffering from my cold. The worst part? My poor husband, who had been originally planning a kick-ass weekend trip but decided to stay home (and throw quite a bit of change down the drain by doing so) to take care of his wife, is now sick too.  At least we have Shark Week to keep us company!

Survival Tracking Guide [Ninjas Rock]

Posting will be light this weekend — or at least only filled with fluff pieces like this — as I am sick.
Who the heck gets a cold in July? Me, apparently. Stupid pregnancy and its suppressed immune system!

Both J and I couldn’t help but crack up as we saw this — beware of those ninjas!
It reminded me of this old but still hilarious video of the Ninja Parade in Modesto, CA…

I hope everyone has a better weekend than me!
