3 Day Walk

Well after some serious contemplating, I have decided that I'm going to do a 3-Day Susan Komen Walk! I need to fill up my team and raise some money for Breast Cancer! It's a cause near and dear to my heart!

1. Coming up with the friends and sisters that won't let me down...check.
2. Asking friends...not check. LOL.
3. Get to walking in a few minutes...check check check.

Brain Dump..

Sometimes the pain and tears take my breath away. I wish I could just take those pieces and rip them out of me and put them into a box. I'd just stick the box on the top shelf of my closet. It's not that I want them gone forever. Peace is sometimes more important than the thoughts replaying over and over in my mind.

Move on damn it! Let the pain go. Let the tears dry up into a glossy happy eye. Not going to happen anytime soon. I can mask it and pretend, but it torments me inside on those days when it's too quiet. The dreams are raw and real. Sometimes I soak up those moments knowing that I'm dreaming, but it's real. Fucking Crazy. I know.

I don't think I'm going to look at my sitemeter and check the locations of viewers/posters/lurkers. LOL. At least I know I'm popular in India, Kenya, Korea, France, The Netherlands, and Ireland. So hey...HI WORLD!

"I Say It's Your Birthday...lalalalalalala!"

Fifteen years ago today I gave birth to the most beautiful little baby. She has grown to be a sweet, amazing, and a beautiful girl with a gentle soul. I'm so proud of her and she continues to amaze me and teach me every single day.

Ok...now for dinner out and some yummy cake!

Happy birthday my girl. I love you.

Tonight I need closeness.

And Chocolate wouldn't be so bad either.

Keurig For Me

It's official. I am no longer the drinker of "Granny Coffee." Granny Coffee is the warmed up left over coffee from the morning. It's been easier to do that than to make a fresh pot when all I need is one good jolt of java!

Say hello to my new Keurig. It really does make a good cup of coffee and fast! I need to buy more of the Italian blends. So..if you're the drinker of Granny Coffee like I have been, this little marvel can do wonders for the taste buds.

What do you use for the afternoon cup?

I was about to click publish and catastrophe hits with a huge crash upstairs. It was a lamp next to the bed that was knocked off the table. Oh yeah..it was one of the new swirled eco friend bulbs. Yep..it broke. I know there's something about them being hazardous material, but here's the thing. If we're supposed to change to the eco bulbs..didn't anyone think that breaking one would eventually happen? How many bulbs have you ever broken? I have dropped, smashed, and dropped a few more than my fair share. So what do I do now? I swept up the pieces,vacuumed them up, and now will empty the vacuum. It was a bulb...not hazardous waste. Ugh. I'm perplexed now.
I'm sure we'll live.

Waking Up Asleep

I woke up in a faze of exhaustion. Why didn't I sleep last night at all and yet now I'm ........

Edit..I fell asleep typing that! Yes I did! :)

Today was just a going to the market and then Costco. Oh and I went to dinner and the best Margarita! Believe it or not, it was the cheap house Margarita vs. the crazy expensive 5 sip one. :)


Happy Saturday night. We're just sitting here doing a little Guitar Hero challenge. I'm singing along...no playing for me tonight. It's hardcore scorekeeping time! LOL.

Night Night...
Cheers!

Happy New Year!

It's 2010! Happy New Year!!!!!!

How amazing to wake up on a wonderful New Year Saturday morning! We rang it in with Star Trek, Chinese, and some seriously full bellies. Was it a full moon? It felt like it, because no one in the family slept well.


Playing off the no sleep from New Year's Eve, I thought we'd be going to bed earlier. What happened you may ask? We popped on Julie and Julia and I'm still awake. WTF? What a great movie. I didn't think anyone else was going to enjoy. By the end of the movie I was inspired to pull out our vintage, first edition, Mastering French Cooking and pick a recipe to try and also dive into my blogging even more.

Face Book makes it so easy to cheat my much beloved Wonderful World of Christie. :)

Happy New Year friends...
