Kinda Crappy, But no matter what still worth my 8 bucks.

Well my ship has finally come in. I am now the proud owner of a 100% authentic woot.com “Bag Of Crap”. For those of you that don’t know what im taking about, a bag of crap is assortment of wonderful goodies that woot.com sells to us for only $3.00 + $5.00 (shipping).  What’s in the bags of crap?…. Nobody knows for sure…. but one thing is for certain…. it will be awesome (at least to me).

When my crap arrives on my porch ill be sure to post pictures of what is inside…. one can only imagine!

Thank you Jesus!

I have created a “Wish List”. So if you want to buy me something because God is leading you to do so. i am providing you an avenue to do just that. Thanks in advance.

I just wanted to say “Thank You” (belated) to everybody that made my birthday very special. i don’t know why… for some reason this past birthday of mine (im currently 31) just felt extra happy and extra nice. Several people took me to lunch and or called/emailed/texted me. i felt very significant . So “Thank You”

All of your guys are the coolest in my book.

Big thanks to Kelly. You so are gifted in many many ways, one of those ways is being able to celebrate people in such a way that makes us (me) feel worth it. one of many reasons i LOVE you.

I was at lunch today @ Tacos Baja for 99 Cent Fish Tacos Wednesday. I snapped a pic of this on the way out. Give me your interpretation of this sign. BTW the sign lights up with you press the button at the bottom.

The following are from this weeks top FML that i wanted to share:

Today, I got a red light camera ticket for $100 in the mail. After checking the date and time, I realized it was from when I was rear ended into the intersection while STOPPED at a red light. FML

Today, I fainted on the sidewalk. When I woke up, I was still lying on the sidewalk, people were stepping over me and my purse was gone. FML

I “drew” this last year when zach and I were drawing stuff together. I found it the other day and thought it be a wonderful thing to subject you to. So there.  I think I got the “squaryness” of my head pretty good.

Here is a question for the dudes and maybe even the dudettes (you never know)

When you relieve you selves at a urinal… how do you aim to minimize the sprinkles?

Why this question is being asked:

I have been using urinals since I was in kindergarten and nobody ever told me of a magic way to use these urinals without getting any sprinkles on your pants, shirt, or shoes.

Now I’m taking a big risk right here. I just admitted that I can’t control my stream enough to not get any sprinkles back on me. so I want to assume that you have the very same problem and you are not saying anything about to keep yourself feeling cool…like you are in control of the sprinkles and they don’t ever hit you….ever! Don’t lie!

Just tell me the secret way that you use to minimize the sprinkles.

I’ve noticed a common thread about personal blogs…. the comments seem to be pretty slim.

Blogger: You the author of a blog and you feel that nobody is really reading/caring about what you are saying. You want that small connection to keep on typing. You want to know that somebody is there and that your words aren’t getting lost in the vast nothingness of the internet.

Reader: You are a frequent reader of personal blogs and you enjoy reading them, yet you don’t comment. You don’t feel like you have to… you don’t feel like your comment is even worth typing and you are happy just to read what’s there and you move on.

Solution? Every time a blogger asks “are you there?” the audience seems to always respond: “I’m here”

What I am going to do about it: I’m going to ask you questions and I hope that you answer them. I’ll start off my asking the men how they use a urinal.

We recently put Zach in Mixed Martial Arts class through the city of Rancho Cucamonga. Our first impressions of the class were kind of unsettling. By the end of the 1^st class he had learned to go from a full mount to an “arm bar” (a type of submission). At the end of his class I was kind of blown away with all the intensity and the teaching of advanced techniques (in my opinion for a 5 year old).

The good thing about it was that Zach seemed to like it quite a bit even though he had to fumble around to do what the other kids were doing. I have always been uneasy with “play fighting” with Zach. I don’t want him to “play fight” with the other kids at school or church and hurt somebody unintentionally.

Now that he is in MMA, I want to make sure Zach only uses his new powers for good and not evil!

Below are pix of him learning the “arm bar” (cell phone pix)

Thanks to the Internet i found out how to calculate the cost to drive someplace such as work. The tile of this post would be true if i was driving our new (old) Expedition back and forth from home to work.  Here is the Calculation that i used:

Miles driven divided by MPG = Gallons used.

Gallons used multiplied by price per gallon = Total price spent for miles driven.

Total cost divided into total miles = Cost per mile.

RE: 20 Pounds+

Last week was the final weigh in and I came in 3rd place. I lost a total of 25 pounds and 9.9% of my total body weight in 8 weeks. Mark ended up losing 28 pounds and 11.2% of total body weight. So he was the biggest loser! Congratulations!

As it turns out I’m in for another 2 months of weight loss madness! This time around I’m actually doing some “workin out” (more on that later!)

Sydney had her first day at dance class today. One really good thing about the class was the fact that they did not allow parents in the dance studio. We all had to watch from the windows on the outside of the room. It was a good thing cause we the parents were not there to distract the kids. This decision seemed to work out better than I expected.

Sydney did pretty well for her first time. No crying, no “where is mommy”, Just a wave “Hi” to Kelly and I.

This evening I was on  my Mac grabbing some files off of my home PC (windowsXP). I right clicked my home PC in the Finder and clicked on “get info”.

Here is the funny part: in the “Preview” Section there is an icon of a CRT Monitor with the infamous “Blue Screen of Death” on the screen.

Ohhhh…those silly kids over at Apple. If you don’t get why this is funny to me then it’s better for the both of us for you to just move on to the next blog post.
