Things the kids are saying these days...

1. "Why you all up in my Koolade when you don't even know the flava"

2. "Don’t get it twisted"

3. "I gots a gang of those" (gang apparently meaning a ton?)

4. "That is so not the bizz" (meaning that is so not cool) I get this one a lot

Try using these in a sentence this week and you too shall be cool!

Today was a big day...i came to a few conclusions that go as follows,

1. I am never going to be a good speller (so just read the Fin' blogging without commenting on my spelling errors! okay jill?  I mean let it go!) (Just so you know i actually like the fact that you make fun of my spelling, i just wanted to address the issue before you had a chance to rip this post apart, cause i'll be honest, it takes too much energy for me to worry about if i spelt this or that right...)

now that we got that out of the way, on to the important things

There is a girl named Ashley at the home that i work at.  she is my favorite, even though we can't have "favorites".  Her story is way sad, like most of theirs are.  Anyway, my boss came up to me today and asked me if i would take her to her soccer game today.  Of course i said yes. He said that it was her last game and that she asked for me to take her and to stay and watch.  It broke my heart...with that being said it leads me to the rest of my "revelations"...

2.  I have been so blessed to have had parents who were there for me to watch whatever activity i was involved in.  Lets face it...we all have.  I always forget that not everyone has that. 

3.  Everytime ashley would do good, she would look over to see if i was watching and if i was cheering.  It broke my heart again cause i used to do that with my parents.

4.  It is going to be so amazing to watch my kids in their various activities someday.  I never understood what my parents meant, and why they got so into it.  Now i know, and she's not even my child.

5.  All these revelations (especially #4) makes me feel old once again.  like, im growing up and thinking about kids and stuff! yikes

6.  Also, i want to adopt! I don't know when, but im gonna.

So i just wanted to share that because i think we all have so much to be thankful for.  Today opened my eyes to that.  Life is good and beautiful.  I wish i could remember that every moment.

okay...this post is too much...

love you all...

First Celebrity Citing!!

I just have to share this story cause it was such an amazing moment.  This all went down on Sunday, December the 4th...

I was shopping at a store called trader joe's (specialty food and such) in Pasadena (where I work) trying to decide what raisins to purchase...and low and behold who do I see in the same isle about 3 steps away from me is none other than... JTT himself!! Hopefully any of you ladies who are around my age will know who this is.  I mean Jonathan Taylor Thomas Hello! AKA...the voice of the lion king, the middle son on Home Improvement!  He was the poster child of my teen years! I think many of you ladies would have to admit that you at one point did in fact have his poster hanging in your room. 

It was one of my brightest Californian moments thus far.  I don't consider myself to be one of those people who gets all into the celebs and such, but there is something about it.  Just knowing he was famous and he was right there...I mean I could have just jumped on him if I wanted to! It was a crazy feeling. 

And for those of you who care to go deeper here's the 2005 update on JTT...

He was wearing torn jeans (like the kind you spend way too much money on when you could have just gone to good will) and a gray thin t-shirt.  He had the long messy hair look, but more like he tried hard to make it messy.  He was also scruffy, by that I mean he was trying to grow a beard.  He was short, and in all honesty...not that cute! But...he's famous so that adds cute points...some how?!  Also, he was buying sushi, crackers and some type of wine.  My last update...a friend of mine told me that his lives in Pasadena and is gay.  ha-ha...so there you have it.  Sorry ladies! 

Well, sorry if I went on too long...I just had to share, because he was my first. First celebrity citing. 

love you all...hope things are well

I'll be home for Christmas...

I know what i have to do.  I realize how much i miss you all and i realize that there is only one way to keep in touch with some of you...since the whole phone tag thing has been going on for too long, and there are some beloved friends that i haven't heard from in years and i miss dearly.  The point being....life is too busy! To many small, meaningless things occupy our time.  I hate not knowing whats going on.  This is the best way.  I miss you all!  Can you please tell me how you are!
