Her Name was Lola
Wade and I spent the weekend at the Boca Raton Waldorf Astoria and I've had the song "Her name was Lola, She was a show girl" in my head since. Insert Boca Cabana for Copacabana and there you go. But, since it rained the entire time there was no beach action going on. What else was I to do while Wade attended his meetings? Hit the spa of course. The Spa Palazzo is one of the top 10 destination places in the country. Well, not just the spa, the whole resort, but the spa was AMAZING!!
I started out doing a therapeutic trilogy. (Here are the descriptions out of the brochure) Based on the centuries-old European tradition of using medicinal mud, healing waters and light massage therapy, this treatment detoxifies and thoroughly relaxes the body. This Trilogy includes an organic Moor mud body warp plus a tranquil soak in a bath enriched with thermal mineral crystals from the famous medicinal waters of Hungary's Sarvar Spring. The trilogy culminates with an application of a soothing mineral creme to massage away remaining tension.
The soak in the tub with the mineral crystals was wonderful. The wrap wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. I was thinking of being wrapped in cheese cloth after being slathered with medicinal mud. Instead, you are slathered while hot from the bath, lie on a plastic sheet over a heated bed, the plastic is folded over you, and then you are completely covered (except the head) with warm towels and blankets. Needless to say, I was so hot towards the end I was finding it hard to relax and enjoy the ambiance. I was quite literally ready to throw off the towels, blankets, and plastic and make a dash for the cool shower. On a plus side, my skin did feel great afterward.
I next had an Eminence Custom Organic Facial. Ultimate customization; Your aesthetician will design a facial exclusively tailored to your exact needs and goals. Choose from; Pear Poppyseed Microderm Exfoliant Facial, Yam & Pumpkinseed Enzyme Peel or Paprika Fire & Ice Herbal Infusion. Using product that contain only 100% organic fruit, vegetable and herbal extract, this facial deep cleanses and exfoliates while hydrating the skin.
I had the Yam & Pumpkinseed peel. It smelled wonderful. Actually, since all of the products are organic and from fruits, veggies, and herbs, I would guess one could eat them if hungry enough. (I couldn't help but visualize licking my fingers clean after trying these products at home instead of washing them off. Why waste a good thing?) I particularly liked the scent of the Stone Crop products in the Eminence line. The downside. The skin on my face is sensitive. Any time I use a new product I will break out. The aesthetician couldn't believe that my hubby is a dermatologist and the only products I use are good ole soap and water and Oil of Olay. She was laughing at me when I explained my routine or lack thereof. The truth is that soap and water are better than anything else and Oil of Olay is great. Why pay $55 for a 3 oz bottle of organic cleanser when you don't have to? So, as nice as it was and as good as it smelled, it didn't matter. My face is very broken out. Note to self. Never have a facial again.
My favorite experience of the spa had to be the ritual bath...aside from the naked women all frolicking about together in the hot tub. Just kidding, sort-of. Inspired by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon's search for the mystical fountain that could cure illness and restore youth, the Palazzo Baths envelop guests in a restorative water ritual designed to instill total well-being. Stress and tension melt away as you enjoy our aromatherapy-infused sauna, steam and inhalation facilities. A bath attendant will guide you through our customized therapeutic bathing ritual, and ensure your ultimate relaxation.
The facility has 8-10 semi-private baths on opposite sides of the room, separated on the sides by a screen. I'm not a super shy, overly modest type of gal, but I did wear my swim suit in the bath. I was the only one. I just couldn't imagine scrubbing my body with an exfoliating scrub and loofah while naked, in the presence of others. After trying to relax in a huge tub that was not inclined in the back enough to allow one to relax, I headed to a shower that has 50 jets shooting streams of water at you. At this point I did remove my swimsuit...shock and horror...to next enjoy the Deluge and Swiss showers. This is a deep well type bath that you climb into and rest your upper body on the ledge while massaging jets hit your back. It was great. I could've stayed in there for hours. The next stop is the hot tub. Granted, it is large, but I just couldn't visualize myself soaking in the bubbly water with a bunch of other naked ladies.
I capped my Spa experience off with a Swe Thai Massage. Uniquely and perfectly melding East and West massage therapies, this staff recommendation will leave you feeling invigorated & renewed. Swe-Thai is an innovative style of massage that combines advanced soft-tissue therapies with passive yoga style stretching derived from the ancient healing art of Thai massage. This treatment is performed on a table, for your comfort. Not recommended for anyone with extreme physical limitations.
It was great, relaxing, and I would recommend it to anyone.
So there you have it. My spa weekend which I will probably never repeat, or at least not for a very long time.
Some of the treatments I passed on:
Sevruga Caviar Facial. I mean really. Who wants their face to smell like fish eggs?
Florida Blueberry Bliss Body wrap. Hmmmm. End up looking like a Smurf? No thanks.
Citrus Cellulite Treatment. While I would love for my cellulite to magically disappear, no body brushing & vigorous massage techniques detox is going to do it. You need lipo for that.
Wrapped by the Sea. A live Spirulina algae rich seaweed treatment. Again, that just gives me the willies thinking about it.

Thank You
We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.
--C W Johnson
O beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
‘Til all success be nobleness, and ev’ry gain divine!

The Elitist Snob Usurper in the White House Shows his colors
Yet another example of who we have running our country. The last quote by a parent summed it up well.
http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Kindergarteners-Snubbed-for-Steelers.html
Thursday was supposed to be the highlight of the year for more than 100 kindergarteners from Stafford County, Va. They got up early and took a chartered bus to the White House for a school field trip. But when they arrived, all the 5-year-olds got was a lesson in disappointment.
A group of young students didn't get to tour the White House, and they say it's because of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The buses from Conway Elementary arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a little later than planned, and they were locked out.
"We were going to the White House, but we couldn’t get in so I felt sad," 5-year-old Cameron Stine said.
Parents say they were just 10 minutes late for their scheduled tour. School officials say White House staff said they needed to get ready for the president's luncheon with the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, so they couldn't come in.
"I was angry cause they were disappointed," parent and chaperone Paty Stine said.
A lot of preparing had gone into the trip. Conway Elementary teachers had been planning the trip for months, each child paid $20 for a seat on the chartered bus, and names were submitted to the White House for clearance.
Parents say they tried to make it on time, but their chartered buses hit heavy traffic that slowed them down substantially. They thought they were supposed to show up by 10:15, but they say they arrived at 10:25 instead, and couldn’t get in.
"The person who headed this White House trip up came out and said, 'I’m sorry, the White House tour's off.' There were a lot of crying kids," parent Barbara Stine said.
The White House tells a slightly different story. A spokesperson said the group was actually supposed to be there at 9:30, but they held the gates for the group until 10:30, 15 minutes longer than they told the group, but when they still hadn't arrived, they had to draw the line.
Paty Stine said the White House staff should have made an exception. She feels the kindergarteners were snubbed for the Steelers.
"Here we have President Obama and his administration saying, 'Here we are for the common, middle class people,' and here he is not letting 150 5- and 6-year-olds into the White House because he’s throwing a lunch for a bunch of grown millionaires," Stine said.
Thursday night the White House released this statement: "The President and First Lady are dedicated to opening the doors of the White House to the public, and it is unfortunate to see young people miss a tour. The visitor’s office is already working to reschedule the group."
Parents say it's probably too late. The school year ends in a few weeks and they doubt the tour can be made up in that time.

The Hair Cut
I finally talked Dan into letting us cut his beautiful hair. For months he has told us no. He really likes it though and keeps giving it a thumbs up. He is excited to look so much like his big brothers. He even had me call him Kade last night for awhile. I miss his curls already and he looks too old now. Sigh....at least the older people around here won't call him a little girl anymore.
Pics...before the cut. Last week we tried to watch the space shuttle launch but the clouds didn't cooperate. Instead Dan chased around a toad.
Then pics after the cut. He is absolutely handsome, but it looks so much more golden instead of white.

Poor Kid
This Omaha couple is allowing their 8 yr old boy to openly live as a girl. Here's my question....what would've happened if 5 years earlier when the child was saying things like "I'm a girl like you mommy" the mom corrected him and said, no you are a boy? I've experienced that exact situation with all of my boys. They love me, their mom, and want to be like me and are drawn to the things I like. Around the age of 2 they really started to identify with me and see themselves as girls. But when they started to question if they were a boy or girl, I firmly corrected them. I can't help but wonder if in our PC world parents seeking to embrace their children's "natural feelings" have created a whole lot of problems for these youngsters. It is really quite sad.
One of my older Face Book friends (who is also a member of my same faith) posted the following vid on her homepage and made this comment..."This child is fortunate to have understanding, caring parents/adults in her life..." I couldn't disagree more. That same "understanding" could very well be a HUGE part of the reason this child identifies with the opposite sex.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming the parents for the child's feelings and I'm not a child psychologist. I don't pretend to understand the psyche and intricate workings of our brains. I just can't help but wonder how the parent's reactions to situations helped form this child's identity. And I also believe the Prophets of my church speak the word of God. "All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose..." So that begs the question...are there that many people with male spirits born into female bodies and vice versa? Personally, I don't think so

Schools...OUT...for Summer
Anyone remember that song by Krokus? My kids would be singing it at the top of their lungs if they knew the words.
Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Well, we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not go back at all
School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely
This was one of the songs on BodyCombat release 32 that I taught the other day and it's been stuck in my mind since. The horror of it is quickly settling in. School's out for summer in 4 days time. AHHGGGG!!! I always look forward to summer break, then WHAM!!! About 3 weeks in I can't wait for school to start again. We'll see how it goes this time around. I've decided to hire a maid to do the bathrooms, floors, and windows. If I can get the kids and hubby to help keep things picked up, she can come in and deep clean once a week. It's the getting everyone to help keep things picked up bit that is going to be a struggle. I need to scream again....AHHHHGGGG!!! Okay. I feel better. Bring it on summer. I'm tougher than you.

A Day in the Life
We were so excited to see the shuttle launch today, that we sat and had mac-n-cheese and skipped the nap to watch it. Dang good for nothing, don't ever drop us any rain, clouds had to get in the way. Couldn't see anything. On a positive note, Dan did find a toad to play with. Had fun chasing it around the yard in the 100 degree weather.
Kyrie received the coach's award for most team spirit, or as she called it, the loud mouth award, for her lacrosse season. She also earned 14th place state wide in her french exam out of a couple of thousand students, and had one of the top 10 GPA's in her class.
Kade had his strings concert last week. I am always very impressed with the strings program at their school. Took many vids. Promise to load them and pics soon. Lost his 2nd play-offs game, so is now done with bball. Whew.
Jake has another play-off game tonight. Lost for the first time last week but his team could still win the tourney. I'm just ready to be done, so really don't care either way. His team never has practices, except that the 6 coaches do get their kids together to practice all of the time, just not with the entire team. How ridiculous is that? Then the coaches get mad if you try to coach your own kid from the stands. Well, someone's gotta do it.
Dan got a big kid bike because as he put it "his old one stops." He still likes to ride around the house on his trike, but is doing really well with his training wheels on the new bike.
Wade's idea of a nice Mother's Day surprise? Run to the grocery store after church, grab a cheesecake and ice cream, come home and inform wife that he wants to invite a couple over for said desert even though the house is a mess. I put my foot down and said no way, not toady. Then after sitting everyone down to eat the dinner that mom cooked, says, wait, I actually made something else for Mother's Day. Opens a pot that has two rubber chickens in hot water in it and declares it chicken soup. Hardy har, har. Even though he doesn't know how to do gifts or make special occasions "special" I still love him.

Star Trek
I happened to see a part of The Chronicles of Riddick on TV tonight. I didn't really understand the movie, but liked the action/fighting. What can I say? I'm a blood and guts kind-of gal. Plus I found the eye candy to my liking.
I couldn't help but notice how nice looking the character Vaako was and had to IMDB the actor. Well, duh!!! Of course I liked him. It was Karl Urban who played Eomer in LOTR. This man is a virtual chameleon. He is so nice looking, but almost unrecognizable in many of his roles. My all time favorite muscle man to watch is Dwayne Johnson. What a fine specimen of a man. Guess what else I found out on IMDB? The Rock and Karl starred together in the movie Doom. You can bet if it comes out edited on TV I will be watching it.
I'm planning on catching Star Trek tomorrow night, and low and behold, Karl Urban is the new Doc Bones. I would've never put him together with the same actor who played Eomer. Even more reason to boldly go where no man has gone before. Hey Karl, beam me up!!!!

Conversations with the Kids
Oh the wicked wiles of childhood.
Jacob, "Kyrie. Are you going to put your other shirt back on? People will look at your boobs." (Kyrie had taken off her Oxford and had a tank top on. We were just getting ready to go into Toys R Us)
Kyrie, "Oh my gosh!!! My brothers are such perverts. Stop looking at my boobs."
Me, "Kyrie, your brothers are not looking at your boobs."
Daniel, "Yes I am!!"

You Do the Math
It would appear that the last story I posted may not be true. For those of you who read my blog, I am not acting as a journalist. I am not going to use "due diligence" as Kevin put it, in researching my stories. Sorry. If you were as excited as I was to hear the story, and told others, again, I apologize. Maybe this will assuage your chagrin.
In Obama's own words: My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
Yeah right. Openness my lily white ass. So here is the $100 question.
Did Obama attend Occidental College under the name of Barry Soetoro? Was Barry Soetoro a Fullbright Scholar? The Fullbright scholarship either BRINGS FOREIGN STUDENTS TO THE UNITED STATES to learn and be educated to receive/obtain a college/university undergraduate degree, or it will ONLY sponsor existing College/University US CITIZEN GRADUATES (prefereably Master’s Degree and above) to go abroad. Since Obama was then 18-20 yr. old Barry Soetoro he was AT THAT TIME , defined by the Financial Aid terms of the Fullbright Scholarship in 1979, 1980, 1981…as a NON-US CITIZEN and “foreign national”.
Was Obama a Fullbright Scholar? Read this article to see what has transpired in an effort to find out...HERE
Alan Keyes responded as such to the proceedings:
Though not unexpected, this motion confirms Obama’s ruthless determination to destroy anyone who continues to seek the information the Constitution requires. Why should they demand penalties against citizens who are simply seeking the enforcement of the Supreme Law of the Land? It is simply because their persistence runs contrary to the will of a supposedly popular demagogue? This smacks of tyrannical arrogance. That Obama thus signals his intent to bring financial ruin on those who won’t accept his cover-up of the circumstances of his birth is a tactical escalation. It confirms the common sense suspicion that he won’t act forthrightly in this matter because he has something to hide.
Again, do the math. Why would he spend so much money to hide his records if he had nothing to hide? So, there is as much investigative journalism as I am going to get involved with in this story. If I should hear something with a more reliable source you can bet I will let you know.
In the meantime. Did you know that Obama quietly agreed to outsource capitalism to European Socialists while attending the G-20 Summit in England last month? During the recent meetings of the G-20, the nations issued a proposal for a "Financial Stability Board" and an International Economic Union that would control all financial institutions around the globe. This includes the U.S. Granted, it is just a proposal. But he did agree with it.

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as president. When reached for comment in London, where he has been in meetings with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama smiled but refused comment on the issue. Meanwhile, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs scoffed at the report stating that this was obviously another attempt by a right-wing conservative group to discredit the president and undermine the administration’s efforts to move the country in a new direction.
Britain’s Daily Mail has also carried the story in a front-page article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned”, leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K.
In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey. This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.
