We drove down to the park and were driving through the park, towards the correct parking lot. Suddenly poor Hasataki begins vomiting all over the back seat (and all over my daughter). Of course, I don't have anything to clean up the mess so I decide to drive to the nearest grocery store. (As Hasataki barfs all over my daughter again.) Unfortunately, that store is Whole Foods. That means I paid a lot more for "natural" cleaning products. Frankly, I wanted something really strong to clean up the vomit, maybe something toxic. I also had to ask for a paper bag to put the garbage in which is sooo not cool in WF. No fancy re-useable grocery bags (or tokens) today. LOL! So, I run back out to the car with my paper towels and natural cleaning spray and the bottle of cleaner will not spray! It just drips all over my hands. So, I pour the cleaner onto the papertowels and clean up the mess. (My daughter, very sweetly, had scraped up most of the big chunks with the cup I had brought to give the dog some water.) After cleaning it up, I ran back into the store and got a new bottle of cleaner. I was bad, I tested the bottle to make sure the sprayer worked. After all of that, I didn't really want to go to the park so we drove home. As I was cleaning out the garbage out of the car, I realized that I spilled 1/4 of the bottle of cleaner on the front seat. More papertowels. Once that was cleaned up, I decided to make myself an iced mocha and relax while reading some books that have been sitting beside my chair for about a week. As I was sitting down in my comfy chair, I suddenly dumped half of the iced coffee all over my books and the table! It's a good thing I got an 8-pack of papertowels. Geesh!

Although my trips of vomit with her haven't ended in throwing other stuff around all day or a health food store..hmmm

Originally Posted By mele I hope it doesn't mean anything! I searched for awhile to make sure it wasn't some dirty word in Japanese. I got it from an old Flintstones episode. It's the one where Wilma and Betty take karate (or judo) lessons. The full prononciation is "Hasataki Hiya!". In case you were wondering. LOL

Hasataki. Reminds me of Hong Kong Phooey. LOL. And, not to derail this topic but, LOL @ DVC. I've just been really busy and stuff. I miss all you guys and was able to steal a little time right now to come see you. *hugs*
