Hey....
go to www.meshuggah.wordpress.com for my new blog.
short, but sweet. HA!
Hey all. Just a small little update.
Since I wrote last I am still at Redefined Property Services working my little bootie off. I have received checks from him and they are being honored just fine, but have decided that this is an added stress that I do not need. I love working for the company and I think my boss is a wonderful man, but having even the slightest worry of not being paid is well worth leaving. I was offered a job working for Dolphin Bay Inn Hotel & Residences and gladly accepted. My mom actually works there! LOL. But she is the Assistant to the Director of Housekeeping. Not the department I will be working in. I will actually be doing front desk, taking reservations and concierges. They pay is less than what I get here, but I am guranteed a paycheck and I get full benifits after a short period of time. I have to wear a uniform too! LOL. A gray pencil skirt with a blue blouse, black cardigan and a scarf. It's a pretty cool little uniform. I don't mind. I haven't had to wear one since I worked at Marie Calenders back in '03. Well, I had to wear a vest at OSH, but that doesn't really count.
I start next Monday. I am so excited!! After I am there for a couple of weeks, I am going to search for a second job. I am going to work as much as I can. I am making it right now, you know, but I need to start saving up money. There is a spa there that offers a %20 discount and hopefully the yoga classes will be only $5 for employees soon. That is another thing I am excited about.
I just got back from a very long, but much needed two week vavcation. This is how it went...
Saturday the 16th we flew into Denver from San Jose. We got in about 11:30pm, got to the house, had a piece of toast and went to bed. We got up the next morning, ate breakfast, got ready and went to the airport to fly into Salt Lake City. When we arrived in Salt Lake, we hopped on the shuttle to get to the car that Mary had left for us. Got in the car, put the keys in the ignition and... nothing. Apparently she had left the XM radio on in the car for over a week and drained the life outta the battery. So the airport emergency people guy dude man person thing came with his big alternator contraption and blasted life back into the battery. Get back in, try to adjust the seats; nothing. So all along were driving from Salt Lake to Island Park, Idaho with the legs stretched as far as humanly possible because the seat was in the all the way back position. LOL.
I feel asleep in the back seat because if I am not driving, then I am terribly bored and I definitely needed the sleep. I slept all the way from Pocatello to Island Park! (Google map it and you'll see how far that is.) Got to Island park, unloaded the car and went to sleep.
Monday morning we get up and try to figure out why the hell the seat won't work. Can't. Spend most of the morning doing that then beg to go into Yellowstone for the day. Got into the park, went to Old Faithful, watched some geysers go off, had some lunch, saw some wildlife (see my flickr photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/feven) and went back to the trailer. Had some dinner, played war for about two hours and went to bed. Got some very good and much needed sleep.
;-)
Tuesday woke up to Gary's cell ringing. It was Jim telling us that when the guy at the airport jumped the car he also blew something that involved the functioning of the seat so they had to order a part. Mary and Jim came back and we took a drive to Gardiner, Montana through the park. Stopped off at Mammoth on the way and had to hucklberry icecream (friggin' yummy) and saw some elk (see pics). Drove back, had dinner and wine and went to bed. Another good nights rest.
Wednesday, hung out at the trailer, took some pics, went for a walk down a trail to a busted up boardwalk (reminded me of a scary movie) that went out to the endge of the Madison river, came back and well shit. I can't really remember what else we did that day. LOL.
Crap, I need to go.

a current update of my oh so unfortunate life right now
so...
yeah it has been a while! thanks for pointing that out mager. props to you! anyway, so far life is SHIT! i left a very secure job that yeah, i was unhappy with, for a job that was better fit for my career as well as the pay being good. and have been there for over a month now, but i am no longer working for the company!!! why? you ask. well, payroll comes around and the came and went and i hadn't received my paycheck yet. (my boss isn't always in the office and had fired the accountant.) so i called him and emailed him and finally i got paid the following monday. okay, fine. he had a good excuse. still should have gotten paid on that friday but whatever. so, next payroll comes around and again, same shit!!! so i told him he needed to come back to the office and pay me. he did. so i didn't come back in. i emailed him telling himt hat it wasn't right for an employee to have to ask for their paycheck and that he shouldn't of hired someone on if he couldn't pay them. he replied by saying that i am great for the company and if there was anything he could do to get me to come back. i told him no, so then he proposed to pay me up front. i agreed, but told him i would only work the hours that he paid up front for and that he would have to pay me that way for a while until i felt comfortable enough going back to regular payroll. until i could build up trust with him again.
i went into the office yesterday to meet him and he wrote me two checks. one for payroll for today and one as an advancement to get me to come back and work. i was very hesitant in taking the checks becaise i wanted to make sure he gave it to me in cash so i wouldn't have to worry about the checks bouncing and what-not, but when i got to the bank to cash them, i was able to. so that put my mind at ease for a bit. (sorry i am writing in all lower caps. for whatever reason i found it necessary to do so.)
i went to san francisco yesterday to pick up a couple of my friends at the airport. then we went downtown and to fishermans wharf to hang out and do some shopping. it was a good trip. we got to the airport about 30 min. before their flight came in and when we went to check their flight information it said that it was delayed until 2:11-their original time was 12:30-so heather and i drove to redwood city to go have lunch. i wanted to go see mager, but for whatever reason i couldn't. nerves got the better of me i suppose. i also wanted to see jessie, but i felt uncomfortable bringing heather along with me because she doesn't know her or mager and i didn't want her to feel bored or whatever. i can't really exlain it.
anway, they finally got in and we got in the car and started to head downtown. i was so proud of myself because i do not take or give directions well and none of us knew where we were going so i just drove until i saw signs that lead us right into downtown. and i found my way to where we needed to go and how to get back to the 101 from fishermans wharf. i was going to bet money that i would have gotten lost, but oh well. i have no sense of direction and unless i have a mapquest page printed out right in front of my face, then i know i am going to get lost at some point. but, i didnt! yay! kudos to me.
we got back at about 10 or so. actually, i didnt get home until 11 because i needed to drop roland off at his house, then take megaroo and heather back home to their house. megaroo gave me some sweet ass wine fron france!! like actual french wine! hell yeah! so i am going to dip into that tonight. and i have more wine that was bought last weekend... no no no. someone at gary's work brought back some wine from a wonery when doing coffee for them so i can get into that tonight as well. or save it for another night. whoa, what a dilemma. which wine should i get into first?? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
work is extremely hot and tiring right now. i have busted my ass trying to catch up these past 2 weeks that i have been "on vacation" (as everyone thinks i was) and it has been a monster. i had, get this, 400 emails to catch up on! thats an average of about 28 emails a day! crazy stuff huh?? so i need to finish with those and all of the phone messages. 22 of them. which is not bad, but having to weed through all the hangs ups and wrong numbers was annoying. i ended up with only 10 that i actually had to take care of. OMG get this! so i come into the office today and jenni (my receptionist) asked me if i knew about an infestation that was going on by tom's desk and i told her no. i had no idea what she was talking about and i was too busy playing catch up to even consider looking. after i got back from lunch, i had a few minutes of down time and decided to investigate the situation. HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!! there were hundreds of these little winged insects and some w/o wings crawling around on the carpet and up in the window cill and near the baseboards. so i went online and googles small bodied, long winged insects and went through several images until i found one that looked identical. termites. it turns out, these things come out near the end of spring and during summer to mate. yes, thats right... to GET IT ON right in the middle of the office carpet! so... that means that in the next couple of days, they are going to be breeding like mad crazy. TGIF is all i have to say about that. luckily our company specializes in dry rot and pest control so he is going to poison the hell outta these buggers and hopefully rid of the problem before we return to work on tuesday. OMG it is a three day weekend. freak yeah!
i have so many things to do this weekend. i need to dig out my dead and dying pansies/marigolds/celosias and make a trench to blend potting soil and sand that way when i plant new ones they might actually live. the dirt i have in my back yard in clay so they didnt like it too much. i either didnt water them enough or too much because of the way the clay retains (and sometimes lack there of) water. i am also going to convince my better, no; other half to get something to put in the corner of the yard that is bare.
my tomato plants in the front are doing very well. we already picked the carrots and, although they look extremely disfunctional, they are full of flavor. the tomato that i picked was very sweet and fully ripe so that was nice. i have another tomato plant growing in the back yard. i took a lot of picks of the garden as it started to grow, but have lazily decided to not put them up on flickr yet. most of it has to do with the fact that my camera broke so i sent it in to get fixed. it took them forever and finally i had to call to see what was up with that and they said they would just send me a new one. the part(s) that they had to replace were on parts backorder and weren't sure when they were going to get them in. i just got my camera back the other day so i promise this weekend i will post them on flickr.
i think in the last post i said i was trying to lose weight. well, task and goal accomplished! i have lost about 15lbs. i did lose more, but was very depressed for a couple weeks and gained about 7 back, but have been busting my ass to try and lose more. i need to get that 7 back off and lose an additional 5 and i will be all gravy!!! actually, i wont be gravy; i'll be skinnier! lol. dork. anyway, hellie and i hope to start a yoga class soon and then get in to take some spinning classes. we'll see. i took a spinning class once and that KICKED MY ASS!!!! but it did get my booty in shape. until i had bryanna.
awwwww, i miss that little girl! i spoke with her a few hours ago and she was with her dad at the bowling alley bowling a 72! crazy. bumper bowling, of course, but a 72 none-the-less. she is doing very well in school and is excited about first grade. she actually went to homework club on her own! good girl. i wish she would come back already. i'll se her during xmas, though. thank God for holidays!
alrighty, time to get back to work. i will try and keep my blog more updated. i need to add more 14,000 things to be happy about postings. i have the book still.
have a wonderful three day weekend!

updates
i havent written in a while so i thought i would sit down and give you all an update on everything.
so as you may know already, angelica moved in with me. it is working out great! at first she watched breezy while i worked so i didnt have to worry about that and now she has taken over for me at my previous place of employment. now she is able to save up money to get a car. hopefully she will never move out, though. i want her to live with me forever!!!!! muahahahahaha. lol.
i started my new job yesterday. if you follow me on twitter and pownce and iilwy and all those other social networking sites you would know that i am loving it. but for those of you who don't and only know whats up in my life on my blog then i will recap. i started it yesterday and i love it! i probably emailed about 100 times and the same with today. no; emailing is not my job, but its the best way to keep in contact with my boss and thats how he gives me my agenda, which changes all the time. the company has been around for about 20 years, but he just opened an office in slo. my current title is production coordinator. which, in andrew magers words, means coordinator of activity! ha! i have been super busy and the time goes by so quickly. right now, i am bascially just organzing the office and taking all of my boss's calls. calling people, retunring phone calls, faxing, emailing, getting bids, scheduling contractors etc. it is so awesome. and the pay is wonderful too! and will be more wonderful in 60 days when i prove to him that i can kick ass at this job! my office is cool too. i will post pics on flickr sometime next week. i keep forgetting my camera at home. boooooo.
now lastly; breezy. she will be leaving auagust 6th to move out to her dad's in GA. i am incredibly messed up about it and have not been so willingly to let her go. i had to make the decision, though, because she deserves to see her father. and he is almost guaranteed to not deploy for another year. i am just so sad to see her go especially since i have made so much progress with her and her behavior after getting her back from him the last time. but i do know that it will work out for me and for her as well. not emotionally, but in every other aspect of life. with this new job and my feeling so incredibly burnt out and confused, i will have more time to reflect on this past year and see what changes i need to drastically make in my life.
angelica and i are trying our hardest to drop some weight. i was living such an unhealthy lifestyle. and in the past month or so, she and i have made some big changes. we are on slim-fast. yes, thats right; slim-fast. it is actually working out well for the both of us. well, correction-we are drinking kirkland brand slim-fast. it is better tasting anyway. i have dropped some punds and i am sure hellie has too-although she thinks she hasnt- and i feel so much better about my body. mager gave me some good tips too. so i have to give a shout out to him! --ahhhhh laptop is going to die!!!--
well, i should get back to organizing and such. i will update more tomorrow.

troops that have the funnies!!!!
Okay, so I was going to post a blog about social networking, but to be quite honest with you I have no energy to get into the depth that I wanted to. So for now enjoy a video of some troops trying to lighten things up!!
start wiping things down!!!
so as i was getting up to flush the toilet yesterday, i had noticed that the toilet flusher thingie was a smudgy. and i thought to myself 'oh my goodness, i wonder when the last time i wiped this thing down?!' (oh, don't sit there all ewwww like; when was the last time you wiped yours down?!?!) then i thought 'i wonder what other things in the house rarely to never get wiped down. so i compiled a list. i was shocked with how many i came up with so i went around the house and cleaned. everything.
door knobs and the spot that surrounds them, remote control, faucet/faucet handles, toilet flusher thingie, towel racks, shower head, edges of counters/coffee table, lamp switches, door locks, cupboard hardware, baseboards,
cell phone, buttons on your electronics, computer keyboard, light switches and the wall that surrounds them, dish drainer, trash can/recycle bin, backs of kitchen chairs
thats all i have for now. if you can think of any more, please let me know and i will add it to the list and go home and clean it. we should all take a little bit of time to wipe these things down more often. germies are no friends of ours!!!
first week of july
started out to be a very good week for me. actually, i don't remember what monday was like-lol- but tuesday was awesome. i got to have lunch with jesse and watch her buy some girlie pants. then later on that night, angelica, bryanna and i met up with jesse, jessica and amanda for as bonfire at avila. go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/feven for those pics. then yesterday-fourth of july,yay!- i met up with jesse and them for a little bit at the beach. gala was having a mad party with free beer and food, but i couldn't stay because i needed to go back to the house for the party they were having. which was a bummer because apparently jesse had something "important" she needed to talk to me about, but obviously couldn't and she had to subject herself to doing it online; which, if you ask me, is so high schoolish and pathetic. but i will not hold it against her. so anyway, i left the beach and hung out with my family and friends and got smashed on some pina coladas. sobered up and around 8:30 or so we walked down to the beach to watch the fireworks. which was a bust because it was too foggy to see the pismo show, but actually ended up to be okay because the people around us made a better show. so it turned out good anyway. bryanna had to go pee very badly so i walked her to a place where she could cop-a-spot behind a tree. she ended up stepping in her pee and was cranky the whole time we were there. i got some pretty decent pics of the fireworks. compared to the auto setting on my camera, the 'scene-fireworks' option doesn't do too bad. omg! i almost forgot to tell you all that i got a new job!!! i start on the 23rd and the position is personal assistant/receptionist!! more money, same hours and much better than here! i am so excited. hopefully angelica will be able to take over my position here. i don't see any reason why not. i mean, she has the same experience as me, she is ready and willing, he doesn't need to find someone to replace me in two weeks and he won't have to go through a temp agency like he did with me; which he has said it cost him more money than it was worth. i had interviewed for that on tuesday. my interview was at 5:30 and we ended up chatting for an hour and 15 minutes!!! he is a local contractor that doesn't do any new development, but remodels homes and turns apartments complexes into condo's. he also flips houses. he's a pretty cool dude. basically i will be taking all of his calls, retrieving bids, filing etc. definitely a good thing for me to be leaving. i hope i am not taking on too much, though. with getting this new job i will not be geeking out so much during the day. i will be too busy and i will miss all my geek programs. :-( i am gaining so much more, though. sooooo monday-wednesday were all good days. then today. jesse and i are talking and she had to start talking-online, none-the-less-about what she wanted to talk to me about. now i am sad, upset,angry, hurt and in a bad mood. i just want to go home and eat a big fat tub of ice cream. but i can't :-( i am going to have lunch with allison tomorrow so that should be good. i saw her yesterday, but i haven't been able to have one-on-one with her in weeks. we have tons to talk about. monday i am meeting jesse for lunch so we can finish our convo in a non-childish way. i have so much to say to her. grrrrr. she wanted to meet tomorrow, but i see it best that i calm down and sleep on all of this new information. that way on monday i will be less hurt, less sad and less pissed off. i hope tomorrow makes up for today. except, i'm putting in my two weeks........
14,000 things to be happy about
Perseid meteor showers
turning off all the lights except those on the Christmas tree
playing hooky to do something you don’t ordinarily have time for
uncovering an unexpected patch of wildflowers
practicing speaking French
enlarging a favorite photo
alternating between reading a novel and looking at the hilltop skyline
getting mail
the secret urge to expedite the person ahead of you through a revolving door
rain at night, if you’re safe in bed
the ability of parents to guide their small children around by the tops of their heads
unread textbooks
crazy kids
cold hands
making clarinets squeak
buying T-shirts and short-sleeve shirts on the first day of spring, and then having a blizzard on that night
feeling blue
overdue library books
the gap in the dressing room curtain that can never be completely closed
having an unfortunate knack for approaching a set of double doors and always pushing the locked one
this friday
The new iphone is coming out. I want it!!!! It has every single tool you could ever want on it. Who wants to buy it for me? Get me the IPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
"why i ♥ jesse"
her smile
her cute nose
her laugh
her smell
tiny;cute hands
her legs
her bitchen hair
her eyes
her soft voice
her soft everything
her sweet kisses
her hard shell
her soft middle
"squishy squish"
shes my babe
shes romantic
shes raw
shes emotional
shes honest
shes outgoing
shes sweet
shes cute
no; gorgeous
alright; sexy
and because she ♥ me too
[from the words of tatum i would suppose; i would write more, but there would be nothing left for me to cherish about her]
before i was a mom
Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It...
In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.
1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.
2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.
3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.
4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?
6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.
7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.
8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...”
Me: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?”
Me: “Never mind...”
10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.
11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).
12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.
13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...
14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!” plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wasted”, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...
15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!” Believe me.

John Mayer: Gravity
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me (Now how can that be?)
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Keep you all where the light is
Just keep us where the light is
Ohh.. where the light is!
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me (Now how can that be?)
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Keep you all where the light is
Just keep us where the light is
Ohh.. where the light is!
random acts of kindness
I was watching a show last night and during the commercial break I had seen a commercial for hospitality. Have any of you ever needed a bit of public help and was saved by a stranger who didn't think of just themselves? Did you ever witness someone who helped out another being in need or maybe YOU were the one to help? Well, you can go to www.behospitable.com and enter in your story there. They will publish it online where everyone can read it and you can read some other's stories too!

"Breathe (2 AM)"
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

Mae: Mistakes We Knew We Were Making
We made plans to be unbreakable,
love was all we knew.
No insurance for the unthinkable,
blindly get us through.
We've been searching for a lifetime-
short as it may seem.
Riding on the fumes that spark us,
while igniting dreams.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Mistakes we knew...
do da da da da...
do da da da da...
Driving in the rain to the hospital
quiet aches intense.
What at once just seemed the impossible
now makes perfect sense.
We held hands to face the uncomfortable
cold and lonely room.
Magazines and empty distractions
barely got us through.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Mistakes we knew...
do da da da da...
do da da da da...
And when we try to think of the life inside,
we found ourselves looking at the world through new eyes.
(music playing)
What can now be said,
oh, little one on the other side?
Dance until the band stops playing,
sing with all your might.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Don't think about rules we were breaking.
Mistakes we knew...
The list goes on and on.
The list goes on and on.
The list goes on and on..
We made plans to be unbreakable,
love was all we knew.
No insurance for the unthinkable,

Riding on the fumes that spark us,

Mistakes we knew we were making.

I love my make-up! Lets make a change!
For whatever reason this morning, while I was putting on my make-up, I realized: I really love it! I have spent time and money into building my (small) collection over the past few months. I have spent about 40.00 on the bag itself. Then the contents:
Mirror from Sephora: Free (came with a gift card a so thoughtful and loving friend got for me)
Bronzer Brush from Sephora: 25.00
Full Cover by Paris from Sephora: 30.00
Cover up by Physicians Formula: 10.00
Sugar and Spice blush by Loreal: 8.00
Mascara by Fresh from Sephora: 25.00
Bare Bronze/Victoria's Secret: 18.00
Berry Lip Fusion from Sephora: 38.00
Clinique eye liner from Sephora: 15.00
Brow Brush/Comb: 2.00
Romeo and Joliet nail polish by O.P.I.: 8.00
Rose Quartz eye shadow by Lancome: Free (my auntie's friend works for them so I get free samples a lot)
Emory boards, nail clippers, cuticle clippers and hair ties: ?????
Total (including bag): ~219.00
So I was thinking.... thats a lot of money (for me, at least) to spend on something that I don't really need. And I thought to myself: Geeee, how selfish of me. So What I plan to do is take 100.00 out of my next pay check and 100.00 out of the paycheck after that and donate it to a charity of some kind. That way, I can pay back some of my selfishness to women who are less fortunate. You can help too, in a smaller way of course. The next time you run out of some make-up and you plan on going to buy some more, stop! Take that money and go buy a sandwich at subway and give it to the next homeless person you see or go to the grocery store and buy a bag of groceries and donate it to the homeless shelter. It can make a difference in someone's life. Even if it seems like its something that is too small to do or too little to donate. Too little is a hell of a lot more than nothing. Think about that!
P.S. Did anyone go to www.spreadthesharing.com? Leave me a comment and let me know if you did and I would love to hear your story! I told them about the time in my life when I used to volunteer to make meals for the elderly.
Oh... and I still love my make-up. Even if I have heard that I don't need it! Well, every person who has told me that hasn't seen me with out it so... HA! :-)
