Tidbits

It is a beautiful morning and I am enjoying the sunshine. I love to open the drapes first thing in the morning and see what it looks like outside. I base my motivation of working out on whether or not it is raining and/or windy. This morning I did not want to get out of bed. Chris said that it was not windy, but when I looked out the window I saw my telling tree waving in the breeze. HAH, a ticket back into the bed for another hour of non sleep. Non sleep is what you do when you get back in bed and attempt to sleep, get interrupted by a child and settle for laying there in the dark.
I feel the best about my body in the morning. I have a theroy of my own. Not only have I been fasting for the last 10 hours, but also I think gravity has been working in my favor. While I am laying horizontal all of the weight (and fat if you will) is evenly dispersed. I look great in the mirror especially for the first couple hours.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm annoying, and then I remember...Nope, I'm just awesome.

The girls turn 2

My step brother Adam and his wife Nicci have one daughter Jazlyn and one on the way. There are some pics from her second birthday. Lou was comepletely enthralled with the Chuck E. Cheese dancing characters. She was paused in time to watch them. She would start to dance a bit and then just sway to the music. Jazlyn was born on Lou's actual due date. I remember being upset at Lou for not coming out when she was supposed to. But when she came, she was out from an hour after arriving at the hospital and was known as the baby who came fast and furious. She loves her cake and eats it too. I have also included a picture of Lou with the blankie. My mom and i have come commonly refer to the blankie sucking finger time as Weasle Eyes. She looks like a little weasle when she has the blankie to her face and all you see are her precious little eyes. So, happy birthday girls! You are so cute.

Goin Down Swingin'

So, this is my brother and future sister in law Ashley. She is petite, but fiesty. This weekend some girls took her purse and phone and essentially mugged her. She chased after them ,yelling a few choice words, got punched and then proceeded to beat the piss out of them. Now let me educate you a little on Ash. She is just a little bit "selective" on her friends. Some may call is racist. This little incident did not help her as now she is even more convinced that her racist beliefs are true. What can I say though her assumptions were true? All this to say , yeah Ash, you go Girl!

Apples and Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.I took this from a friends blog. I thought it was great. I hope you like it too.

Stupid People

I came across this photo a while back when taking one of those photo surveys. I think it is awful and hilarious all at the same time. When did our priorities get so out of whack? I was running this morning ( I know, shocker huh?) and really just thanking God. Have you been up lately at 6am and witnessed the beauty that he put out there for you to look at? It is a new and different canvas for you to enjoy eadch morning. It is truly a gift and I highly encourage you to recieve it one morning. I have been using that time to truly talk to God, pray and just listen to Him. I encourage you to make time for Him! So worth it.

Are we Throwing Rocks are we not?

So, like most women I dont like the way I look. I know, big surprise. I have been running at 6am and it is absolutely beautiful. It was a crazy day yesterday. I had MOPS in the morning, watched girls all day, cleaned the closet, cooked dinner, went to hula, watched two of the funniest shows ever....The Office and Scrubs. We didnt used to be into this kind of humor and now it is the only thing that makes us laugh that hard. We sat up and watched the episodes last night and laughed our butts off. Here are some things that make me happy:

honey roasted almonds
Chris (sorry the almonds got in there first)
a beautiful sunrise
going to Kauai
good friends
MOPS
my care group
the girls having fun
hula
mom and dad
singing with bubba

Chris' school break b/c we get a lot of time together

carnies
dirt under my nails ( I usually keep them short so this wont happen
Starbucks- too spendy

Well, there you have it. The likes list is considerably longer and that is good. I will write more later when I have something funny to say. Peace out!

Ode to Bubba

So I came to the realization that I did not have any pictures of my brother recently, so I hacked some of his photos from myspace and am doing an ode to him. Love you Bub!
