You will live in our hearts forever as you forever dance with Daddy Jesus, Mama Mary and all the angels and saints. We love you forever.


Rest In Peace


Until we meet again

corny wack wack corny

Where do you draw the line between doing what you feel is fun versus what makes others happy? Ever have that nagging feeling that you make a decision that you think is ok but know that in some ways may have the opposite effect on another?

This was originally written on March 8, 2009 and I don't remember. The reason why I'm resurrecting it is the fact that I got a mani and pedi this morning and while I sat there, I had 1,013 ideas of what to write about. Here I am at the laptop...lol using a draft from last month.

HA! I can't wait for Monday...leave for vacation...AND while we are there...no phones, no computers, no cooking, no cleaning...NO NAGGING GUILTY FEELINGS!!!

sighing is healthy

Ahhhh, with a big breathe out. I do that alot lately. While I was in Chicago for 2 new product launches last week...I sighed more than ever. I was totally numb out there. Ugh...I'm still elated that I'm home and I came home last Friday. I'm still sighing. I started working out again and have been off cigarettes for a while now. I feel good...but still...tired. Its like I have limited outlets? if that makes any sense? I always have 1,017 things in mind when I'm away from a computer to blog about...then when I'm on this site, I'm like uhm what do I write about. and I digress again. sighs, outlets, changing our lifestyle to get healthier.

*SIGH* the workouts lol...I BUST MY BOOTY working out in a boot camp and get some cardio in 1-2 times a week...not to mention the errands in between and chores that are supposed to help burn calories and raise my heart rate...I feel like I look the same as I did in Jan.

*Super Sigh* We've incorporated healthy whole grains into our diet and increased of servings of fruits and veggies and how can I forget- supplements lol as a result, here are my conclusions:
1. Rice is not supposed to be crunchy. I'm totally feeling the brown rice, but it has to be Korean brown rice and add a lil more water to make it mushier.
2. I'm getting used to taking 7 smelly horse pills in the morning. Yes, all supplements lol.
3. I'm adjusting to OATS being on my toast and totally missing my chewy plain bagel with veggie cream cheese...HOORAY for wheat BLAHgles.
4. We've had something green that was steamed, boiled, blanched or lightly sauteed with garlic and EVOO with all our home cooked meals since Feb 14.
5. I need to invest in Beano. Flatulence is not very becoming, in fact its depressing. Sign of aging. Sheish. I'm ONLY 34.

To think...I started 2009 with an open mind. The funny thing is that I didn't even make a new years resolution this year. I was like OK LORD...and now...my life changed and my perceptions of things changed all the more. So I ask the question again...does it ever just calm down?
