Random thoughts

*Why do we have to argue about politics? Really why do we need to ARGUE over it? I will discuss things with people all day long, but its when the discussion turns to one party feeling attacked, I am over it.

*When will people realize that the President of the United States does not hold as much power as we think he does. All he can do is bring bills into the senate, then its up to them to pass.

*Why do boys (of all ages) love video games? I have to admit that today I feel victim to allowing the boys to play Wii just so I could have a few minutes of peace and quiet. It lasted for a whole 2 minutes because they eventually started to fight over who was playing what.

*I really have to have a migraine right now? Really? Taco Bell for dinner it is!

*And why are all the things that are bad for you sound so good? The thought of Taco Bell sounded good, now I just feel sick.

*When is the maid getting here? Oh thats right, I don't have one.

*Going to sleep early tonight sounds like a GREAT idea.

So there was this little program on the other night called Hope for Haiti. I don't know if anyone watched it or not, but I sure did. As much as we want to raise the fight about not helping the people here in OUR country, its definatley heartbreaking to see all the kids and children that were affected with the earthquake and all its aftermath. So yes I watched as celebrities preformed and manned the phones. But there was one performance that just moved me.

I have always used music as a coping mechanism in my life. I have always been horrible with words so I always found that a sweet melody or moving lyrics helped me feel like I wasn't the only one out there. Weither I am sad, happy, feeling sultry, or feeling down, music is always there.

So I actually started to cry when Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris performed Hallalujah. I am still trying to interpet the words actually. But their voices and the melody was just SO moving. So very beautiful. So tonight, I post the lyrics to the song. Please if you buy anything in the next few days, buy this song. Its available on itunes for .99 cents and all proceeds benefit the several charaties that are helping with the Haiti disaster.

Hallelujah (covered by Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris)

Now I've heard that theres a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffeled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe theres a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And its night a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody thats seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The boss turns 2!

So anyone who knows my boys knows that my youngest Luke is totally the boss. I don't wanna say he is bossy because he is so dang cute that you will do anything he says, but he is very demanding. Thats why we call him the boss.

Well the boss turned 2 on saturday! The whole day was about him. Breakfast was what he wanted, pop tarts. Instead of having healthy apples or carrots for snack, we allowed the little man to munch on cheetos and pretzels.

Everyone was greeted with a birthday banner. The whole party was monkey themed. He's a little monkey that climbs on anything he can get his hands on and he has big ears.

He got a little embarrased when we all sang happy birthday to him! So sweet!

I made these cupcakes! Too cute! I know I kinda rock!

My baby boy is now 2 years old! I can not believe that my youngest is 2! The years really do go by so quickly its like you blink and all of a sudden your at your 2 years old birthday party with friends and family. It was a great day. Happy Birthday Luke!

How could I have forgotten?

So yesterday I posted my list of celebrities that well...you know. But I forgot my two top guys! Imagine my shock when my husband was reading my post from yesterday and he asks me "what about Justin and Peyton?". So two more to add...

How could I have forgotten Justin Timberlake. I have been in love with him since I was a sophomore in high school! He is smart, sexy, funny. He loves music, I love music. Sweet harmony for both of us!

Peyton Manning. Something about him is so super sexy to me. 393 complete passes in this season alone. Good ol country boy wtih good ol country values. Becoming one of the best QBs of all time, you never hear anything really negative about this guy. And he has a sense of humor. Anyone remember the mastercard commercial? "Cut that meat!". Classic.

Okay so THAT is all. I promise this time. No more celebrities for me.

The List

Okay so taken fresh out of a script from Friends, I have a list of celebrities that if the oppurtunity arose to slept with them, I could do so without suffering consequences. At first my husband was truly offended but quickly realized that he too would get to make his own list. How the HELL am I suppose to compete with Kate Hudson?

So here is my list:

Robert Pattinson. There is just something so sexy about him to me, I can't even explain it. He looks like someone I could have complete fun with, but also has a serious side to him. Just way too yummy to me. And the accent doesn't hurt either!

Patrick Dempsey. Yeah I know that he is blissfully married with children of his own, but come on don't kill my fantasy. I have loved this guy since the days of Can't Buy Me Love where he was dancing around like a fool. And Lover Boy was just a classic. Now he's a sexy doc and he can feel free to do a check up on me whenever he wants. Did I just say that? Yes I did!

Taye Diggs. Yum and yum!!! He is so super yummy. He has a smie that could melt anyones heart. Yet, with his theatre background, could recite Shakespeare to you and wrtie you poetry. And he's a little on the shorter side. Just my size!

Okay so see I am not that bad. Three guys on the list. I have restricted myself a little.

30 day shred

Jillian Micheals is the devil.

Okay not really, she's mean but she gets results. I am a HUGE fan (ok really bad pun) of The Biggest Loser. It is so inspirational. Really it is. These people are in such bad habits with their eating and non working out that they really have lost hope. To see the looks in their faces when they see how much weight they have lost almost brings a tear to my eye.

I on the other hand, am just lazy. I still have baby fat, and yes my youngest will be 2 on saturday. So I thought I would try a little experiment.

I am doing the 30 day shred, instructed by non other than Jillian Micheals herself. She tells me I don't get to stop, that I can't take a break. Much like my kids.

I am also taking pictures of myself so I can see for myself results. I will be sticking this out the whole 30 days. No breaks. Plus I am going to better my diet by no fast food and once this soda in the house is gone, no more soda. Hey I don't want the stuff to go to waste!

And I have also decided that in a way to just completley humiliate myself, I will be sharing the pictures with all of you. To keep me motivated. I will be in a two piece this summer, I have big plans of water parks and beaches.

I feel good. Mentally. but my body is hurting. As Jill says (yeah were good buddies like that) thats fear leaving the body!

Wish me luck!

What not to wear

Well what the hell can I wear then?

So fusterated. Went out shopping with the goal of having just one outfit or at least a shirt and accessories, something just cute and new.

Not a damn thing.

I am a 27 year old mother of two wild and crazy boys. I am not a Britney Spears concert going, bubble gum chewing, hot bodied 17 year old.

On the other hand...I am not an old fuddy duddy who wears her elastic pants around her chest and sweaters to coordinate with whatever holiday is in season.

So that brings me to ask my faithful followers, all three of you...Please nominate me for What Not to Wear!! Come on a $5000 shopping spree with free advice from top stylists? And then a make over all while it being documented on TV!!!!!!

I need some help, I am looking to reality TV as my only hope!

Bachelor review

Okay thanks to stupid DVR, and me being the sweetheart that I am, I missed The Bachelor last night. Thank goodness for ABC being wise and putting the full episodes online which I am watching right now as I write this. Like any other NORMAL girl in the world, I have my own opinions about this stupid show. I love it!

*Rozlyn got the one single rose that garuntees here staying for the week. Seriously? I don't like that girl. There is nothing normal about her! I guess we have found this seasons villian. The one we love to hate.

*I can't stand that Michelle girl. Yeah the one who cried on the first night. What is up with all the whining? Seriously girl, not attractive!

*What is up with Ali's one on one date? Girl is wearing a beautiful little cocktail dress, and dripping with diamonds, and homeboy Jake shows up in jeans and cowboy boots? For rizzle, you couln't have worn a nice button up and some non denim pants?

*Okay and now Michelle is crying, yet again. Please tell me that she really leaves on her own accord or he gets rid of her.

*Really what is up with cheering and screaming everytime Jake walks in the room? Really? Are we 12 again?

*WOW. Michelle, the cryer girl. Totally a bunny killer. And kudos to you if you get that!

*What the F? Rozlyn hookin up with one of the staffers? And then acting like nothing was wrong with it? Hello, you are on a show looking to get together with one guy and meanwhile you are hookin up with someone else. Yeah thats classy.

Can't wait for next week!

Job search

Okay looking for a job just totally blows monkey balls is such a blast!

I have been out of school since the end of Novemeber. I haven't been able to take my AAMA exam yet to become certified. But I am a great Medical Assistant. I swear I am. Why can't these people just believe me?

lol

This is getting so fusterating! I guess in my mind, the ideal situation would have been to be placed somewhere during my externship that was looking to potientally hire and I would have had a job by now. But I wasn't so now I am forced to find a job on my own. And most places won't even look at me because I am not certified yet.

Blah, this sucks.

Better luck tomorrow.

Well dang, that sucks!

So it was all just in my head?

Not that I ever put in endless hours searching for my G-spot, or having someone else look trying to find it for me.

So now I am being told that its all in my head?

DAMN IT!! Whats a girl to do now?

Thank goodness for the ever mighty, but oh so tiny, silver bullet. Nice to know that I have back up.

Little bit of a kinky post tonight, but thats just my thoughts for now. Back to the more serious stuff tomorrow.

Every mans fantasy

25 girls. 1 guy. All your wildest fantasies come true...all paid for by ABC.



Yep its that time of year again!!!

So last night the new season of the Bachelor premeired and I watched every second of it. Now in my mind, I know...what are the odds that someone could find TRUE love on a reality show right? But I love to watch them try!!!

So last night, as I watched Jake talk about how he was going to find his wife with a HUGE grin on his face, I began to think to myself. Is this dude for real? Tell me that that guy isn't totally getting off on the 25 girls that put their lifes on hold to come out and compete to win him. What guy wouldn't be estatic over it? And he gets to take them on these amazing fantasy dates that he doesn't have to pay for yet gets all the credit. Oh and appartently he has a problem with keeping a shirt on too and those six pack abs aren't too shabby. What girl WOULDN'T fall in love with him?

But as unrealistic this situation may seem, it makes for great TV and that is why I continue to watch. I am even contemplating following the masses and having a Bachelor viewing party myself. Corny I know.

Well stayed tuned for the most dramatic rose ceremony yet!

Why hello there 2010!

WOW.

I can't believe that it is already 2010!

I mean I can believe it, I do own a calendar and all. In a weird way, it seems like 2009 lasted FOREVER yet flew by just like that.

2009 was kinda a rough year. Not just for me and my family, but pretty much everyone in general. For us personally I stateted school, Rich had to work more than ever and got a pay cut (better than anyone in the comapany losing their jobs though!), my parents decided to get a divorce, my sister's husband got sent to Iraq, and many other little things that just added up to more stress and heartache for all of our famalies.

But its over now. There is something great about beginning a new chapter and starting anew. There is the hopefull promise that from now on things are going to be different and hopefully better for you and those you love.

I am out of school now (graduated with high honors, I'm just saying...), Rich has found out that the pay cut will be lifted, and my boys continue to grow and amaze me everyday.

So see, the year is already off to a great start!

Happy New Year everyone!
