Master Step can KISS THIS

     I'm going to rant for a second, maybe for two. I'm disgusted by the population of people that give humans a bad name. The type that doesn't deserve their God given ability to speak or stand on two feet and have hands to do things with.......because they only use them for evil. A majority of those are featured on the news that I don't watch, but the sad part is the news couldn't possibly cover them all. I sat next to several people over the span of my 2.5hr wait at the Toyota Dealership yesterday and couldn't...

It's MAJOR to be so Minor

   And a very happy Re-Brithday to you all. Jesus died and walked again on this day to show us that we are reborn in Him and there is life after death for our souls because he loved us so much. What a heavy purpose in His life on earth he had! Why is Easter considered a Minor Holiday? That sounds pretty Major to me!     The Easter Bunny and his eggs tradition goes way way back in history as an attempt for Christians to convert non-Christian Pagans by celebrating their already known spring holiday and integrating the two...

Sockless Socks

 I think picture is beautiful       If done right, and by that I mean, purposefully, tastefully and by someone with talent, tattoos are sexy. Maybe not to everyone, but definitely are to me. They give an opportunity to represent a part of your personality or appreciation of art that clothing doesn’t offer, and everyone knows it takes bravery and tolerance to endure getting the mark. Some people may get caught up on the fact that they are permanent, but someone that knows what they want can...

Anyone know Hypnosis?

 Yoga move on the beach after a day of hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains      I need a hypnotist, a brain washing practitioner, or some sort of psychiatrist to get this pre-workout negative feeling associativeness (made that word up) out of my head. It never fails to be so effortless to make up an excuse or talk myself out of why I can't work out for the day. I need more sleep; I've got too much to do now since I slept so much; I have to walk the dogs instead; I'd rather catch up on some TV; something hurts. But...

212 Degrees for Motivation

     We watched this at work, and although I'm usually the first person to turn my nose up at motivationally focused videos, I thought this one had a little something.......extra. The music is awesomely dramatic and it included a few wow-factor facts. It just might motivate you to try harder at something in your life.      I went the extra mile at work after watching this video and finally made my way to employee health to get my DTAP vaccine. I've been procrastinating it since January knowing how bad my arm would ache afterwards. I must say, it has so...

Thanks Mother Earth

 Mother Earth showing off her beauty at last night's  game       Happy early Earth day! In T+3 days, everyone will be gathering for festivities to celebrate Mother Earth and share ways to help conserve her. One of the ways Patrick and I do our part is by recycling. It's always bothered me to see countless plastics and cardboards thrown into the trash at the hospital; one can only image how many supplies are gone through daily! But I'm proud to say that Presby recycles...

80's Flashback Latino Style

Here's the second video from the concert. It's my favorite song the Latino band performed, which was a cover for "Burning Down the House", as I mentioned in a previous blog. I wish I knew the name of this band. Apparently they recieved a Grammy for their last albu...

Gypsy Punk

My favorite Gogol Bordello song. This is from the concert we just went to. I'm not sure how these two videos sound. This was my first time trying out the video function on the new camera and I was testing how it would handle an extremely loud and dark venue. Our silly computer's sound is broken, so I hope this is decen...

Toxic Chilli

( The following is not my story. I stole it from an email, but thought it was too funny not to share. While attempting to read it to a co-worker and had to stop becuase I was crying.) ****WARNING: ONLY Read This WHEN You Are Able To LAUGH OUT LOUD.****     I went to Home Depot recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented 'you're definitely going to sh*t yourself' road-kill chili. Tasty stuff, although hot to the point of being painful, which...

Endearing Beats Macho

     Macho men are fine and all; they help keep the world evened out, but I prefer the endearing kind myself. I love coming home to a sweet note or card or thoughtful gesture. The other morning I got home and when I got in bed I noticed a envelope on my nightstand (actually a filing cabinet, but when your cramped for space you make due!) Inside was a sweet "just because card" and the writing scribbled, "I just wanted to let you know I love you in a different way, so you don't get tired of me saying it all the time". I...

Bug Free and Proud of it!

     Ever have that feeling like a bug is crawling on you, but it in all reality there is nothing there. I got that false alarm tonight. It brought back the creepy crawly memory of a time when Patrick and I were brand new and cuddling together in my bed at mine and Amanda's old apartment on Lake Shore Dr. At the time, I thought, oh, it's just nothing........UNTIL.......I sat up, and a roach came running out of my hair and scurried across my pillow. It wasn't just a tiny baby roach either, as if that would make it any better....

Wearing Purple

     Date night = great night. We had a delicious dinner at HOB, including a super aimed to please waiter, $20 off our tab with our tickets, and getting jump to the front of the concert line without waiting since we ate in house! I'm not sure if I've ever been to a bad concert. The energy of live music is just infectious. I also love ethnically inspired music, especially when it makes my hair vibrate, like this concert did. The song "Burning Down the House" has ever made me crave a margarita, ...

Vacation Bird

    I've never liked to wake up early in the morning. I can't say that I'm "not a morning person", because when I do wake up in the morning I'm not grumpy or mad, I'd just rather sleep until noon. Working day shift for 2 years, I always thought that one day I'd get used to waking up early as a normal experience and rise with the sun on my days off as well, but in my case "the worm" has never ceased to provoke anything out of this bird other than a series of snooze buttons.   Sumo and friend Molly chillin' at the...

Music is Like Miracle Grow

     Seriously though, if you think about it, music really is like Miracle Grow for the brain. You know when you're studying for school or trying to learn all the policies at your new job and your head starts to hurt after so many hours and you begin thinking to yourself, "Do I really have enough space left in my brain for all this information?" Then you jump in your car and listen to some tunes and not only does your head start to feel better, but your body starts to feel better and before you know it, you've also learned...

Baseball and Itches

TEXAS....RANGERS......AMERICA! Salute! Potty real-estate       You know when you have that pesky itch and try as you might, but just can't pinpoint it's origin? "I think maybe it's my arm, nope! Maybe my back....to the left, to the right....not quite right!" You start scratching everywhere to find that sweet spot. Well, that's how I feel about where I want to settle down; it's like that untraceable itch. Do I want to live in Plano...?...Austin...?..Denver..?..Los Angeles...?...somewhere in-between????????...
