Nothing much

I'm a huge slug today. I got things done, but feeling lazy anyway. I got snooze on the couch with a darling little baby girl today, that was fun. So sweet.

Is anyone else watching Americas best dance crew on MTV? Its HOT! Did anyone else recognise the 2 guys from So You Think You Can Dance NY auditions last year?? Jamaal the big guy who was hilarious who said he knew how to partner and do swing, and the little guy who let Jamaal "partner" him. It was so funny!! They are in one of the groups. I'm probably the only one under 20 years old even watching this stuff, but I don't care. I love it.

And I know you are all jealous that I got the Airbook commercial song on my blog. My kids LOVE it! haha!

OK I'll play

Chelsea Tagged me, so here goes.

donuts or bagels? I do enjoy me a good bagel, donuts are usually too sweet.

rice or noodles? Mark is obsessed with rice (its a Hawaii thing) but I love chow mein!

soup or salad? Dang these questions are hard!! I'm gonna have to go with soup. Its a comfort food thing.

mexican or italian? Mexican. Especially in Mexico.

purse or shoes? Shoes. I get sick of carrying around a purse, and mines always a mess!

morning or night? NIGHT! I either get alone time with my sweetie, or I get alone time by myself, both are woderful. Mornings just come with to-do lists and dragging kids out of bed.

summer or winter? Winter...Its Christmas, sweaters, soup and hot chocolate. Love it!

candy or chocolate? Chocolate, especially truffles!!

going out or staying in? I'll say going out, since I never get to go out anymore. I'm dying to go to the club again, but all my club buddies have gone away and nobody wants to go out dancing!

laundry or dishes? Niether, Why do you think I am blogging?? I'm supposed to be doing both right now!

skirt or dress? I wear skirts, but I love dresses more

flip-flops or tennies? Flip flops for sure!

walking or jogging? Obviously walking is easier, but I'm a jogger. I just have to maximize my exercise time, and walking seems like it is not as efficient.

cats or dogs? Neither

diet or reg. soda? Diet Coke

I tag Casey K, CaseyAnn, and Jaimee!! (and whoever else wants to do it too of course!)

TGIF!

I feel brain dead today, partly becuse I haven't made up for the 1 hour of sleep I got on Wednsday night,(cleaning binge, ya know) and I think my mind is still blown from watching Lost last night. I was loving it, they were starting to make some sense of things (sort of) and now they just set up about 100 more questions!! GAH!

I was completely dreading today, and I got all my chores done early, anticipating and bracing myself for a crazy day that was just about one hour short of time I needed to do it all. Then slowly my day began to free up as things got switched around, my hair clients for today rescheduled and I finished helping my SIL with her scrapbook for her school project in record time. I love it when that happens!



I had really wanted to put my AI picks up yesterday but I forgot and ran out of time. I was pretty happy with the ones they let go, I thought Joanne wasn't the second worst one, but still not in the top 12. After all the hype about how this years peopel were SOOO much better, I was surprised at how boring so many of them were. The 3 girls, Kady, Alaina, and Kristi Lee may as well be the same person. Cute, skinny, blond, and not really that great. My sisters are way better than them. I truly think that the cheeseball Colton Berry got left behind because people were so ticked that they chose him over Kyle in the hollywood final. Besides the fact that he is so CHEEEEEESY! The other guy that got voted off was pretty lame, too bad because he's just a young kid. I hated the Moon River guy! I was really expecting Brooke White to sing better. He voice just dosen't have that richness that some of the others have. I really like her, but as far as singing, I dunno. I hate to be on the David Archuletta bandwagon, but I'm ON it!! I think pretty soon he needs to get some outward confidence though, he's starting to act and sound a little too much like Melinda Doolittle. LOL!!!!!! He HAS to know how good he is! Anyway here are my top AI pics : GIRLS: Sayesha, Ramiele, Aisa'h and Carly (although I do not think its fair that she had a legit career that never took off, it dosen't seem right. She had her shot, this is an amateur competition!) GUYS:David Cook, Michael Johns (ow, baby!) David Archuletta, Jason Castro, and Robbie Carrico(for now). Danny Noriega is just WAY too flamin for me. Snap snap circle! He can sing really good, but its the image I'm not lovin. So what do you think?? Lets hear it!!

Blessing #5-JOB

Do you know what JOB stands for??? Just Over Broke! LOL I'm KIDDING!


This might seem like a dumb thing to some people, but my husbands job is a HUGE blessing. I guess I view it in my top 5 because we have been self employed for almost our entire married lives. We women thrive on stability, and to be living a feast or famine lifestyle for 12 years and raising 5 kids has been VERY stressful. We always made things work, we were always blessed when things were all said and done, but it was a hard life to live. Having been on the "dark side" for so long really really makes me appreciate things like awesome health insurance, federal retirement, (aside from social security, which we all know we arent' getting anyway), life insurance, and a paycheck rolling in every other friday....well if you have those things these days you are blessed blessed blessed. If you have always had those things.....I hate you!!! NO just kidding!!!! But really, I am SO appreciative that Mark was able to get this career and use the hard working skills he has to finally be rewarded for it! For so long he worked himself into the ground and we always struggled, now its overtime, baby!!
