One of those days

I consider myself a very lucky person. So I try to always look on the brighter side of things..kinda like the cup is half full mentality. This is very different then my view of life growing up. I was more of the glass is half empty type of teenager and young adult. So, every once in a while that negativity creeps in. So this is one of those weeks! Nothing seems to be working out right. I just feel like its bad news after bad news...So while this isn't a happy blog..I think its ok..every1 has those bad days or weeks..but Im hoping I get out of this yucky place soon and feel more like my usual self! Hope every1 is having a better week then me =)

gasperilla

So about a billion years ago- ok not a billion but a long time ago pirates came and docked at bayshore in Tampa and pretty much ruined the place. It was totally rummaged, burned and etc. So I would assume that the people at that time were not too happy about this. I mean if someone came and did this to my house I would be devastated. Well Tampa does not see it this way. Only in Tampa do they celebrate the fact that this happened. Im not quite sure why. Surprisingly not only do they celebrate this ransack of their town they throw 3 parades to commemorate this past event. The first parade was this past weekend where there is an air show where people actually jump out of planes , a huge 2 hour parade where they throw a million beads at us to catch with bunches of floats and marching bands and then to wrap it all up, a fireworks show!
It was actually super fun and the girls had a blast..my lil man even got in on the fun! =)
Next week is the daytime adult parade where it is legal to drink on the street!! It is similar to the kiddie parade cause there is about a 2 hour parade with floats and such but no kids...just alot of drinking and good fun. ( anyone wanna babysit so I can go...haha)The last parade is the f ollowing week where it is at night and it gets very RAUNCHY like mardi gras and it spells trouble..i suppose this is more sdimiliar to what the actual pirates had in mind..I will def not be going to this 1!!
OverallI think its a silly tradition but who cares..its a lot of fun =)

Gazelle

I am someone who loves to reminisce, about anything and everything. I love to think back to when my bff and I used to be silly teenagers and I would tell her I was going to have 2 kids named Crystal and John(haha)! Ilove to think about my very crazy college days, my wedding, having my kids and all of the amazing ways they have grown and changed. Overall, Im just a sucker for memories..which can explain why my house is cluttered with photo albums. Well a few weeks ago I was looking at old pictures and I def got to thinking about how much I used to care about my looks and health. I know it is partially superficial but b4 I had my lil posse I would obsess over my hair, clothes, body image and what I ate. While I was more concerned then about my looks, I tend to be more concerned now about my health. So I made the proactive decision to get back in shape. Probably not the stick figure I was at 21( lets b honest my love for chocolate is too great to ever give up completely =p) but I do want to make healthier choices and teach my kids how to as well. So I am on a mission to start eating better and excersicing more.
My lovely hubby bought me a ( just because I love you present) a Gazelle. This is similiar to an elliptical which is my absolute fave workout machine on the planet. A gazelle is def a bit lower impact then an elliptical..it doesnt have a resistance level other then what you can make it do yourself and it goes fowards and backwards as opposed to up and down. However, it is small and folds up right under my bed, still gives one hell of a workout and was an AMAZING price. Anyone looking to buy an inexpensive piece of workout equipment..I totally recomend it!! So this is step 1 of trying to be a healthier me!

TV SHOW HIATUS

So am I the only one who doesnt get all of these "fall finales" or " winter breaks" that all of the tv shows seem to be making lately?????? This annoys me for so many reasons!!!
A) When I was young the only breaks I ever remember tv shows having were the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas and 2 months in the summer. Thats all! Im certain that if we look at the dvd series from years past there will be way more many episodes.
B) I usually only follow around 2 shows at a time but over the past year have fallen in love with like 8 and my ocd self can only handle so much suspense.
C) It just makes no sense to me? All they have on is reruns and nothing else? How else can I bide my time? I know I sound crazy but Im sure these tv stars make way more then I do and should actually have to work for it!
Here are a list of shows that have caught my interest in the past 2 years
1) 90210- on break since start of Dec until I have no idea when
2) Melrose Place - on break since start of Dec until March 9th
3)Glee - on break since mid Dec until April 13th
4) Vampire diaries- on break since Nov 19th- until Jan 21st
5) American idol- only runs Jan-May
6) So you think u can dance- only runs May-Sep
7) Entourage- Who knows when that is actually coming back?????
8) Gossip girl- on break from start of Dec until March 8th

The most annoying part of this all is that all of these shows will only return for about 9 or so episodes and then go on break again from May-Sep/Oct...I apologize for the negative rant..it's just I do feel VERY passionate about my tv shows and I just can't help it!!

On a positive note...For Christmas Santa bought me season 1&2 of Gossip girl. I fell in love with the show instantly and watched both seasons plus the 12 episodes of season 3 in about a week! It is soo good. Why did noone ever tell me =p..but honestly Blair and Chuck are sooo amazing. Plus Chuck Bass is totally a Brian Kinney type of character which every1 who knows me, knows that Brian Kinney is my fave tv character of all time!! This has made me reminisce on older shows I used to love...maybe that is my answer hulu here I come..lol!

A new year!

So 2010 has begun and of course we all have high hopes for the year ahead of us. I am not one to make new year resolutions since I think that dooms us to fail at them. To much pressure on things we should otherwise be doing anyway. However, what else is there to do in January? First off, it is FREEZING..yes, even here in Florida! The holiday bills are coming in so the money comes out of our pockets and doesnt leave much for other fun activities that we have just done over the past 3 months. So we must get creative...So I have decided to get into new tv shows,( since all of my shows now seem to be on hiatus or "winter break" I thought only schools got such things =p) I have decided to read more ( got so many great books for christmas) and to excercise more...( gotta look ahead to beach weather) and My hubby finally bought me an elliptical. Since this mommy has no time to go to the gym, he brought the gym to me.. YAY!
As far as the kids..they will be doing similiar things...tv, reading, playing w/ their 9 million new toys and of course they need to keep up with their schoolwork and gym classes! So, we are going to try to make the most of this January and hope it goes by quickly...
