Lates.

oh happy day.

I promise that I will not always dominate the blog, like I have been as of late. Bret's voice will be heard in the future. I also don't know how much I'll be posting due to the fact that I'm in Houston and don't have a lot of quality time with uninterrupted high speed Internet. Now that that is all cleared up, I've been able to spend a lot of time with Hailey, pictured below on the far right. Some highlights of our time together...
1. Eating duck in the backseat of the car together
2. Us getting tag team road rage and her yelling from her car seat "yeah, hey buddy, what do you think you're doing," to the car in front of us.
3. Singing off key with no exact words to tons of different kid songs
4. Eating lots and lots of frozen gogurt.


I love spending time with her and the fact that no matter how grim things are around her, she smiles and gives hugs and is always a fabulous, witty person to be with. I found this picture in my email box and while I was looking at it, I realized that this was one great day. I remember getting home from the race that Linds and I had ran and drinking insane amounts of soda while we laid on the couch with rob and Nat and loving life.

Academy Awards of Alameda

And the Oscar goes to... The Bay Street Babes for hosting yet another wonderful gathering, this time for the Oscars. I think Alisa had the most "fierce" outfit on, although there were a lot of good ones. As pointed out by a person at the party we did come late and leave early, but when you don't know very much about the films, or which ones have great sound mixing, it's hard to watch 14 hours of it. If Bret and I were the Academy, I think these two films would win all of the awards.

For Some Odd Reason...

I feel really apprehensive about doing tags, I mean I L-O-V-E reading them on other people's pages but I feel like maybe someone out of the 7 people who read my blog might be against them, but then I think, 'are people against tags?', if you are, I'm sorry. I think this will be fun.

Good-Bye My Friend

I was kind of sad to say good-bye to my little car today. I always felt like I was riding around in a little m&m that magically warmed my seat, but I no longer had use for the little guy so it was time to cut ties and let him drive freely on the streets of Oakland. I sold it at the VW dealership and the man who I did my transactions with repeatedly called me "dear" and admonished me when he found out I was Mormon and didn't vote for Romney and made me feel like I had denied my Christianity, but other than that it was a smooth deal and now bret will be on his bike and I'll be driving a mazda nissan maxima sentra, or whatever it is.

I'm not really a car person, and by "not really" i mean I could care less, but those seat warmers really warmed my back and heart. I remember my first encounter with them... my roommate Kat and I, sophomore year of college, decided that we desperatley needed frozen yogurt and had no way of getting there, so I convinced her that if we stood outside of Liberty Square and put our thumbs up certainly someone would come along and help us out. We stood out there ready to go and a nice, probably 24 year old boy picked us up in his VW. I sat in the front seat and the seat warmer must have been on level 5, and had been that way for 3 weeks, because the seat was like sitting on a curling iron with a thin piece of fabric over it, it was soo hot. I had no idea "seat heaters" existed so I didn't say anything and sat with my back as far from the back of the seat for the whole way to the frozen yogurt. I remember when I got my VW and I got in and saw the control for the seat heater, it all made sense.

jam packed full of stuff

Since it has been 65-70 degrees for the past week, bret and I have celebrated. We decided to document our last saturday...

8:10 Dance party, regretfully there are no pics of this

9:00 Pack up the car


9:30 Donuts


10:15 Bike Ride in Sausalito


11:45 Break to watch all the people in spandex go over a reallllly bumpy bridge and then seductively look at the camera


2:00 Baker Beach


3:00 Up to the temple for a baptism at the stake center. (I don't think I was ready for the pic. and the pic of Bret won't upload)


The night ended in chinatown celebrating the year of the rat and meeting up with some friends who were in town for the weekend. Also, regretfully no pics.

No Diggity, No Doubt

For Christmas I asked for a jacket and I found that if I spent $20 more dollars then I would get free shipping, so I did the right thing and continued scrolling through urbanoutfitters.com to find the perfect 20 dollar item. I decided that I could rule out any ridiculous shirt/skirt/dress because my need for costume-like clothing has decreased since college and I should get a practical item that could be worn for years to come. and then I found these....



Automatically I thought of FIVE very practical uses for them...
1. To accompany Bret on his 7:50 am commute to work
2. To wear to any 50's,60's,70's,80's or future-themed parties
3. Cheerleading outfitt for bret's basketball game
4. Self Defense. (their hyper-reflective quality in the daytime would surely blind any on-looker)
5. Jumping pictures, need I say more?

Guess Who's Back, Back Again

While scrolling through some recent pictures I had some very fond memories, as well as some not so glorious moments as a Rozier-Baker...

Good Idea:

Bret making me a sign when I got back.


Bad Idea:

Laughing at the short missionary who came over for dinner and got clothes-lined by the yarn on his way out the door.


Good Idea:

Having a Christmas tree this year.


Bad Idea:

Dragging the dead Christmas tree from the family room, through the bedroom and chucking it out the window. I'm still finding pine needles.




Good Idea:

Going to see the people living in trees in Berkeley. They are doing it so that the historic trees won't be cut down to build a weightlifting room, or some type of football oriented facility. They've been up there for 14 months now.


Bad Idea:

The tree people totally ruining the trees


I have more but once again our internet is acting up, so please, stay tuned.

What'll I do

3. i actually clean the house (thats when you know im going insane)
4. i place a record on my broken record player, watch the record spin in circles and make weird noises for about 7-9 minutes, and then re-diagnose the record player as broken. repeat 2-3 times.
5. i watch cool hand luke and cry, by myself, at the end.
6. i eat even more trail mix (how that is possible i do not know)
7. i record songs about whitney (check out 'we're gonna get married' HERE

Alameda Caucus

Bret and I aren't super politcal people, but we've been really into watching the debates and reading about the candidates. Usually after watching the debates, we turn off the tv and continue our own debates at home. They are about really important issues such as why did I buy the slow churn vanilla dreyers and not the oreo? I usually state my opinion and bret accuses me of being a flip-floper but I try and explain that I am just an agent for change and that I am looking for the best possible change. We also talk about other important topics concerning the candidates such as...

Why does Ron Paul sound like a grown-up Piglet?


















How many times will Giulliani say September 11th and Ronald Reagan?

If these two men look so similar, then why is it that the one running for president is the one that scares me?















If any of you have any political opinions you'd like to share, please... do share.
