Max

Ok so I got really mad at Rob today coz he tried to cut Max's hair and chopped off a bit more than he wanted to coz he moved his head. Now he looks like he has a mohawk!!!!!!!!!! I wanted him to look so cute when we went to visit family in Florida but now he looks well, like a gangsta!!!!! So I am going to frantically look for a dog groomer for him tomorrow so he can look halfway decent like he used to look like before.......... Here are some cute pics of him.....

New....

So. New development in my future.

Going to culinary school: http://www.iceculinary.com

Want to open my own restaurant or start my own personal chef business. Think I can do it? Hope so...

Sat in on one of the classes and I felt really good about it coz I actually knew more than most of the people in that class. I hope when I start this January, I feel the same way.....

Kinda exciting....
Looking forward to it....
But then again, I always look forward to cooking.....

My Wedding

Once upon a time.........




A short time ago.........



There was a wedding...........



There were preparations..........



Friends helped out.........



Buttons upon buttons were buttoned........



There was the walk to the ceremony.........



The wait for the right moment..........



The prayers said..............



Contemplations from a month ago..............



Thoughts from a month ago.............



As friends gathered..................



And the young played and laughed................



The moment came for the party................



Lights dimmed down low................



The cake laid out..........



The guests signed their congratulations......................



While others danced and drank..................



A moment where we were one in a room full of plenty.............



A joining of the souls...........



And the grand kiss.............



After the party................



We played like we were kids..........



We hugged like we never wanted to let go..................



And they lived happily ever after....................



The End.

Bored!!!!!!

I am working on a SUNDAY! This from a girl who thought she would never have to work! AHHHH!!!! Isn't it bad to work on Sunday? Shouldn't we all follow Chik-fil-a and not make employees work on Sundays???? I think we should! Then, I wouldn't have to work! hahaa! Anyways I feel so cut off from the rest of the world now that I am working. I used to be able to talk to my friends, email my friends and instant message people but now that I am working, all I wanna do when I get home is bej-out on the couch and fall asleep with the TV on. I don't even check my email anymore! How seriously non-e friendly am I???? I checked my email for the first time in a week and I had like 300 emails.... I didn't even read any of them. I skimmed.... And deleted.... So anyone out there who sent me an email, please resend it becoz I probably accidentally deleted it! Sorry!

So that's mah life now. A boring non-internet friendly gal who works on SUNDAYS!!!!!!!!!!! How horrible is that? Maybe I will have time for redemption later on so I don't end up in eternal damnation of the working class slump! Do all people who work love wat they do? If you do, thank god everyday becoz it is a real blessing when you find something you really enjoy doing.....

By the way, click ont he title above to go to a website with lotsa sound clips from the classic movie: Office Space. When in working slump, you should definitely rent it!

She

I see her standing there,
extremely still.
In her eyes there’s a blank stare,
one that could give you a chill.

She sets up her paint,
with slow precision.
And even if she is faint,
she won’t change her decision.

Looking at her display,
her eyes filled with concentration,
you could never make her sway,
even if you shouted salutations.

Her eyes on the scenery,
are filled with a far away look.
They gleam to see such greenery,
growing by the brook.

And while she’s been paintin’,
Beauty surrounds her everywhere.
She seems to blend in,
with her beautiful, long, blond hair.

You would never have guessed,
of what she has painted.
Only if she confessed,
would you then be aquainted.

Walking up behind her,
I see just shades of gray.
I’m suprised to discover,
that she paints not of the display.

What she’s painting still,
is what she’s been feeling.
Her loneliness contrasted with tranquil,
is shocking as well as saddening.

The mystery of it all,
is how she can appear to be,
so content with an invisible wall,
surrounding her but excluding me.

OH BOY!!!

I dunno if this working thing is for me! I am so used to layin on my ass all day long! I have just finished 9 days worth of working and i have had 4 headaches since i started workin.... i dunno if i can keep this up much longer!!!!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

i am just kidding..... i do not like it and i have gotten a lotta headaches but i like having something to do in the day while rob is at work and i do enjoy the interaction with other people... i just wish i had a 9-5 office job..... with higher pay and holidays off. oh well, dream on huh! i will and who knows? if and when i get it, i might not want that anymore.... you know, people must think i am crazy and spoilt if they read this........ i am just venting for all the working people out there!!!!!!!!!!! Join me won't you? How nice would it be if you could just work when you wanted to and do what you loved and get paid really well for doing or not doing both.... that is my definition of UTOPIA :)

Serendipity

Very cool restaurant and very good








mmmmmmm.....

Fav Commercial of the moment

Click on the title above to see my fav commercial. Also, here are the lyrics:

Hello mother,
Hello father,
flees, tick, mosquitoes,
really bother.
Thanks for the package,
that's why I'm writing,
K9 Advantix quickly stops all the biting.
Swimming, hiking, and tent pitching.
They're not biting,
I'm not itching.
Can't wait to show you all my new tricks,
thanks again for sending me K9 Advantix.

Just in case you think I am a super dork, I'm really not that bad. At least I didn't memorize the lyrics.....

Job

So i've been thinkin abt the new job and i know i am no where close to gettin it but i wish i did becoz now i want it!

Wonders Of Earth

There are many wonders on this earth,
it’s a puzzle why we sometimes do not see,
that there are wonders everywhere,
in Rome, in Egypt and in Sicily.

Even as the hours go by,
wonders are still a happening.
A baby is born almost every minute,
even as the world is still revolving.

Trees that grow so tall,
they almost touch the sky.
Flowers that bloom so bright and beautiful,
they almost hurt your eye.

Grass as green as green can be.
seas so blue as blue as the sky.
It is the sun that keeps the cycle going,
without the cycle, we all will die.

The surprises continue through the night,
the wonders still never cease.
In fact, the beauty of it all,
will hold you spellbound and infinitely at ease.

Stars scattered all over the sky,
act as a blanket for the cold, black, night.
The moon which stands out most of all.
seem so huge beside the stars so slight.

People often forget,
about the sources that we deplete.
If one cannot appreciate nature’s beauty and her mysteries.
one will never ever be complete.

Blah

So nothing too interesting today.... I did get a call from my headhunter to see if i wanted an exec assistant job and i think i might take it if i get it... who knows... i like my job now i think but i dunno if i want the added stress of gettin the sale everyday... we will see where this leads to

Addicted to Weddings

So I have just gotten married and I realized that while I was planning my wedding, i had gotten so used to buying wedding magazines, searching for cheaper things online for my wedding, and lookin at wedding websites, that i find myself lost without it all. so much so that i have considered becoming a wedding planner to continue my fanatic obsession with weddings and all of its beauty and fairytale like existance.

End of Vegging out

A word from Pretty Woman.

Veg: (vej)intr.v. Informal vegged, veg·ging, veg·es
To engage in relaxing or passive activities. Often used with out.

I usually pronouce it as bej-out....

In my terms, it is to lay on couch while watching tv until neck hurts, when neck hurts, then switch laying position and then keep changing until hunger approaches, then go to refrige to see if anything to eat. If nothing, then repeat above. If there is something, grab it, head to couch and eat while trying to repeat above without ruining couch..... Oh and if someone calls, try to grab phone without moving laying position (maybe with toes), because if movement occurs, comfort level might decrease and if that happens, the whole process has to be repeated and it might take too much energy and then it would not be bej-out fest....

That is wat i have been doin for a while now and tomorrow i start work...... stress level bound to go up way beyond my natural state! dunno if body can handle it....

jokes aside, i hope i like my job coz i did like workin when i did it oh about 6 years ago..... i know... i know.... i am so lucky to have the opportunity to go to school while not workin and now that i have to work, i should feel lucky that i found a job... but i think i would like it a lot better if i had a passion for it. trouble is, i dunno what passion feels like when it comes to wat i want to do with my life. i dunno wat i really want to do so i just bej. simple solution to great big problem. maybe one of these days, i will find a job i am passionate abt, then, maybe i will feel like i have a purpose.....

Marriage Poem

Marriage is a promise

made before the Lord,

with faith as its foundation

and love as its reward.

Marriage is the joining of two lives into one,

a symbol of commitment,

a family begun
From this day forward,

You shall not walk alone.

My heart will be your shelter,

And my arms will be your home.
I cannot promise you a
life of sunshine;

I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;

I cannot promise you an easy pathway

That leads away from change or growing old.
But I can
promise all my heart's devotion;

A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;

A love that's ever true and ever growing;

A hand to hold in yours through each
tomorrow.

Sky

When you look at the sky at night,
tell me what do you see...

do you see the blackest of nights,

or stars bright as bright can be..
do you see the bright round moon,
smiling down at me...

When you look at the rumbling sky,
tell me what do you feel...
Do you savour the earth moving,
or do you simply just ignore it’s zeal..
Do you observe how the lightning,
exactly like laughter starts to peal..

When you look at the clouds above,
tell me how are you touched...
Are you overflowing with the wonders,
that many are unable to vouch..
Are you totally saturated with emotion,
so excessive, it is impossible to slouch..

As the sun starts to rise,
tell me is it love that you are experiencing..
Love for the world and it’s beauty,
or love for god who made us living..
Is it love for the eyes that let us see,
or love for our heart that keeps on beating..

When you look at the blazing, red, sun,
so high up in the distant sky,
do you sense what I am feeling..
Or do you do your best to try,
to ignore what I’m revealing,
to everyone and all sundry,
the beauty and magnificence of the sky...
