The power of 8

Jenbun tagged me.. So I shall do it :)



Eight things I am passionate about:



1. My kids. I want to raise happy, healthy, children. Make sure they're not spoiled brats & can appreciate things in life. I want them to have all the things I never had when I was growing up & know what the love from your family is!!



2. Becoming a chef! I have wanted to go back to school for several years now. But am pretty much waiting on my kids to get a little bigger, so I can actually accomplish this goal! I hope to own my own restaurant someday!



3. Being me 100% Not stifling my creative side & being happy with who I am. It doesn't matter how others see me, what really matters is that I am the one who likes what I see when I look in the mirror. Still a work in progress, but getting there



4. Enjoying my life to the fullest. I have learned that life is short, & we sometimes take it for granted. I want to look back & not have any regrets & I wishes left. I want to look back & be happy with the choice I made. I mean everyone makes mistakes & things they want to take back. But I mean for the most part. I don't want to have I wish I would've done this!



5. Music! Music is what makes me! I have always LOVED music. All kinds. I love to dance & rock out almost 24/7. It makes my mood change so quickly!! I pretty much listen to music any second I get. Oh man do I love a good concert!! Just the feeling music can give you. I have a soundtrack for every mood I am in! I am always listening to music unless I am at work!



6. Movies! Oh I am a movie whore!! If you could see my DVD collection ohh only over 2000 DVDs. Yes I counted & have them all written on a list! I am a nerd & am ok with that :)



7. my family & friends. It's probably not #7 on my list, it's actually higher up but this is where I put it hah. I am nothing without my friends & family. Since i was adopted when I was 15, I have no real contact with my blood family. & have learned blood means nothing when it comes to family. They mean the world to me. When one of them is hurting I am hurting & want to help fix the problem!



8. Traveling. I have yet to really do alot of it. But it is something I am passionate about. I want to go to all the beautiful places in the world & see all the amazing things out there. Scotland, London, Spain, New York, Australia, Boston, New Zealand, Hawaii, Greece, Italy, China, Paris... Pretty much anywhere but here :P

I love anything new & different! I want to try new things. Meet new people! I can't wait til my kids are a bit bigger & we can start doing this! I want them to love to travel & go see new places too!



Eight things I want to do before I die:

1. Once again Travel. read above :P

2. Sky Dive! I am TERRIFIED of heights! But this is something I really want to do!! Just concur my fear!

3. Bungee Jump. Once again, concur my fear!

4. I am like JenBun I want to experience New Years Eve in Time Square, Mardi Gra in New Orleans. Jenny we can do this together :)

5. Also like JenBun live in a foreign country. I think it would be amazing!

6. Learn a new language. I really want to learn a different language. I know it seems like something small. But I want to learn Italian or french :)

7. Learn Ballet. I have always been fascinated with Ballet, & I really want to learn how to do it. It's so graceful & beautiful!!

8. Learn to ride a bike... Yea I know haha I don't know how to ride a bike. I am 25 & don't know how. Never learned. Deprived childhood. But I shall learn.. some day :P

Indiana is totally worth it!!

I am COMPLETELY drained today! I got maybe 2 hrs of sleep. Wanna know why? Cause I went & saw the midnight showing of the new Indiana Jones! Wooo Hoooo!!!

It was AWESOME!! Full of cheesy goodness!! I was singing the theme song all day yesterday out of excitement!

Oh I LOOOOOVVVVEEEDD IT!! It was so fun!! I mean who doesn't like Indiana Jones in he 1st place! I went with my friend Tess, her daddy, Iz, his daddy & sister.Me & Tess sat next together & I think it was Iz's 1st time seeing us together since High School... Lets just say I think he may think we're retarded haha We're a little "special" together lol

But we saw the trailer for Dark Knight. Looks AWESOME but it's still sad that it's Heath's last movie :( He looks NOTHING like Heath, but still sad.

But anyways. I didn't get to bed til close to 4 am since I was totally all pumped up after the movie, which ended at 2:30ish.. But WORTH IT!! That's what coffee's for right?

I highly recommend anyone to see it!

Not the fun kind of trip!

Wanna know the kinds of trips I HATE? Not the drug kind, or the falling & looking like an ass kind... Oh It's guilt trips!

I am so annoyed! So today I decided to get myself my own pretty pink i Pod. Isn't it cute?

Since hubby & I have been fighting over the one I got him. He said we could share it. So we had been. I use it more then him, yes. But lately he has been pissed whenever I have it & he wants to use it. I understand that it is his.

And that he should be able to use it when he wants, since it is his.
But in my defense. I have requested my own i Pod for the last 3 years!! But some how when it is time for presents for me I always get screwed over.

SO last night I asked "can I get my own i Pod, when we get paid tomorrow?" His reply: "maybe, we'll see" So I took it as yes :P

So I went & got myself one. Since I didn't really get anything for my b-day, When I went out of my way to make sure he got what he wanted for his birthday. I also didn't really get anything for Mother's day. I am use to it, since this is how it has been for any holiday for the last 3 to 4 years..

So when he got home from work I informed him of my AWESOME purchase.. & he proceeds to give me a guilt trip of how he planned on getting me the very same i Pod next week with his bonus check *cough BULL SHIT cough* & decides to pout for an hour & make me feel like crap.

Telling me how I never give him the chance to buy me anything.

He pulled this very same act when Jenbun got me the AWESOMEST Louis Vuitton purse for Christmas.

I FREAKED out when I opened her present. & he pouted saying how he wished he could get me a present & I acted like that. HELLO IT WAS MY 1st LOUIS!!

I've always loved them & never had one.

SO FRUSTRATING!! He has plenty of opportunities to get me presents, just chooses not to. He's the least romantic person ever. I knew this when I married him. I am use to it. But the fact that he tries to give me a guilt trip when I get something, or receive something is annoying!

GUILT IS BULLSHIT!

Twin powers not so much fun at the moment!

So Jenbun & I always joke how we're like twins. We look alike, act alike, & our lives some how manage to be very similar in many aspects....
So Jenbun threw out her back.. Who's back starts hurting... Oh yea that's mine. On Thurs I noticed SLIGHT pain, By Fri NOT OK. Sat was HORRIBLE! Not to mention I had to work a LONG day, and had the worst hangover of my life! I thought I might die! Apparently I have yet to die... Or is this my ghost typing this blog.. You will never know.
Anyways I have yet to throw my back out, but oh lordy lord it's not feeling so fantastic.
I am a little weary every time I put undies on, cause that is how she broke hers lol I don't want to do down like that. Hey ghost like underwear too :P

I'd like to report a missing season...

MISSING:
SPRING
Usually sunny, warm NOT much hotter then 75. Beautiful flowers everywhere, Nice cool breezes.
If seen Please contact me!!!

I am SOOO SICK of this HOT HOT WEATHER! It's just now getting cool enough where I don't feel like I am MELTING!
It's ONLY MAY! It's not supost to be 95 degrees!! YUCK! The last 2 days have been hotter then hell...
Well I am not a 100% sure on that. But if there is a hell.... & I am sure I am going, assuming that theres the whole heaven & hell deal is real. I will get back to you on how hot it really is ha

But I don't do well in the heat! I hate anything higher than 80 degrees! I get VERY CRANKY!
Apparently I was being a slight bitch earlier.. It happens. But I just want a fucking spring is that too much to ask for?? I don't think so!

CAN'T I JUST BE A BLOB?!

So This is the last day of my 1st week back on weight watchers... Which has been alot harder then I thought it would be! I need to go grocery shopping.. which I think that would help. & I have been hoping off & on the scale all week. NOT helpful! Going back & forth from 6lbs lost to 3.. ANNOYING!!
But on the plus side.. I've worked out twice. I know your laughing saying 2 times in 7 days.. not that impressive. But hey it's a start. I am THINKING I might go tonight too. But we'll see. So I am going to go see how much I've actually lost tomorrow am. So I am hoping for the best.. But not feeling oh so confident about it.
Hoping next week goes better then this one!

Reality TV is my weakness!!

So I am willing to admit I have some crappy taste in TV...


So most my Reality TV shows have come to an end. & I am pleased for the most part with who won!


To start Survivor Fans vs. Favorites.

I am NOT happy with the winner! I HATED Parvity through the whole show!! With a passion if you might say! She was EVIL!! But some how she won.. against Amanda none the less. Amanda should have won!! This was the second time that she was in the finals & lost! Poor thing! So close to a million dollars & lost! Stupid girl should have taken the other girl! Which I hated her too! Parv lied to almost everyone on the jury & they still voted to her. Where as Amanda didn't back stab anyone... Which I totally don't get why they voted for Parv. Well 4 of them did. The other 3 with brains voted for Amanda! Totally irritated!!








Show #2 America's Next Top Model! SOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY about who won! Whitney! A "plus size" model! She is so far from being Plus size. But just the fact that she isn't a size 0 makes her a plus size! She is the first plus size to even make it to the top five! & the 1st ever to win!! YAY! A real person is a top model instead of an anorexic twig! YAY FOR WHITNEY!! I am so happy that she won! I think she will make a great roll model for little girl! & really help shape the model industry!! :)





Next on my crappy reality TV list of winners is


The Bachelor London calling





Matt picked my girl!! Yay! I loved Shane through the whole thing! I think it's cause she reminded me of myself haha
But I LOVED her! & She won well I guess in this case not necessarily won, but gets to marry the man :P
She is adorable. She can play the dumb blonde roll quiet well , but is super smart & street savvy :) Which as any Blonde girl likes to pull the dumb blonde act from time to time to get what we want haha

But I guess 2 out of 3 of the people I wanted to win isn't so bad :P

Weight Watchers Watch OUT!!

So I woke up kinda pissy, but then I realized that was silly! So Today is my 1st day of Weight Watchers I am rather excited about it! The thing I love is that there is nothing I can't have :) So that is always a great way to look at it. I have 33 points.. & It will only get less amount as I loose the weight. But it will get easier. So day one so far so good. Hoping to go to the gym before I go to Lindz tonight. If not I will fit it in this week for sure!

Case of the Flootey Floo's

So this last few weeks I've been down in the dumps. Or as my bestie calls it the "Flootey Floo's" I have discovered the root of the problem.
A.
One of my best friends I will call her Mama *she just had a baby not too long ago* Called me about two weeks ago, upset about her baby daddy. While I had a house full of people. 7 to be exact. Also while I was getting my nails done. Mind you I have a 2 bedroom townhouse. So when it is filled with 7 people all trying to talk to me or with each other little hard to hear or focus on the person who is on the phone with me.
So she got her feelings hurt by me not being able to give her a 100% attention. Then chooses not to talk to me over a week! When I tried calling her she sent me to voice mail OUCH! Also ignoring my texts. Not til last Fri when I asked her if she was mad at me, did I get the reason for her ignoring me. Kinda silly I thought. I apologized, & we've talked OH MAYBE 2 times since! So now my feelings are hurt! Not only did I think it was funny how she didn't even bring it to my attention that I hurt her feelings, but has continued to ignore me since I've apologized for hurting her feelings. So now I am feeling hurt & sad at the fact that I may have lost one of my best friends over something silly! I don't know how to fix this. I miss her so much, but how can I talk to someone about the problem when she chooses to ignore me?

Reason B.

My weight! I have been feeling rather BLOBISH the last week or so. BUT I am going to fix that problem here tomorrow. Re-joining Weight Watchers tomorrow evening! Very excited about that!! It's perfect that right now til the 10 th it's no enrollment fees just gotta pay for the weekly due :) YAY ME! So I will be posting my weekly weight loss on here WOO! I did loose almost 80lbs doing weight watchers a few yrs ago :D So I know it works! I know how to do it, but I am one of the people who has to go to the meetings so I can be held responsible for if I have a crappy week. I know it's not all about the weight. It's more about the inches for me. But I also will be actually using my gym membership so I will hopefully shed the weight/ inches quickly. So I will feel more confident when I make my trip to Cali this July... Might get in a bathing suit if we **JenBun** & I find a good one :)

Reason C.
The 20 month Ann of m y adopted dad's death is sneaking up on me! It's weird how I just know when it is, without even really knowing the date. On the 9 th it will be 20 months since the last time I saw him. It's really hard to even think that it has been that long since I have seen him. Feels longer, but so short of time all at the same time. Hard to explain!!

Reason D.

MONEY! We should be doing better then we are. For the last yr. I feel like we are drowning financially! and just as things seem to be getting back on track something else hits us! FRUSTRATING! But I have been making a valiant effort to do better managing our money! So hopefully this will change!

But I am trying to change my mood! I think working out will really help with my mood! giving me more energy for sure! Lets hope taking all these little steps will help cure this case of the Flootey Floo's!!
