Wisdom tooth
I always wondered why a wisdom tooth has it's name? Does it actually give you wisdom?????? Well if that is the case I'm in big trouble because after the worst pain in my life ( and yes that is even including my 41 hour labor w/ crys) I had to have my wisdom tooth pulled. It is yet to see if I have lost any wisdom..loL. However, I have gained some wisdom in this process as well.....If they tell you to take your wisdom tooth out when you are 15 dont wait until you are 28!!! =p

The Avenger
I havent posted in a while and we had a lot going on so I thought I would do 2 posts today...
On my last post before today I was a bit stressed..ALOT of this stress had to do with my car. We had a 2003 Nissan Altima..now the back story on this car is that we only bought it 20 months ago..and even though it was already a 5 year old car at the time we bought it cause we LOVED it and heard only good things about Nissan. Well we bought it the day we moved to FL because Nando had to report to work the following day. We did NO research and got TOTALLY ripped off, to the point that even the bank made the car dealership lower the loan. So we are not big fans of NIssan but since we loved it we gave it a shot. The warranty they give is at 80,000 miles..Well Nando drives 100 miles a day literally so we accumulated miles fast..At just over 80,000 miles the check engine light went on. So we brought it to our mechanic friend who said it was the catalyst converter and Nissan had a 400,000 car recall for 2003 Altimas for this happening at exactly right after 80,000 and the car can catch on fire. So we went to Nissan and was told even though all these same exact year and models were recalled for the same problem my vin number was like 30 cars off so they wouldnt honor the recall and I had to pay over a grand to fix it. Now on this problem with the recalls the engines usually blow right after as well so if my engine would of went then we were looking at about 8,000 in work....UMM no...so I called Nissans 1800 number, corporate, bbb, and so on! Well they basically told me I still owed a lot on the car and was stuck with it and I just had to deal w/ it....WELL I told them some very un nice words and told them I would be trading it in , telling every1 I knew about this rip off and never buying Nissan again..They told me I would be back to repair it....Well they must not know me very well because we called our friend who is a car dealer, got the rest of my loan covered by trade in value and rebates so that loan was washed out and got a brand new 2010 Dodge Avenger!!!!!!! WOOHOO!! So I then went back to Nissan to cancel my gap insurance on the car with my new invoice...they were shocked....to say the least
Sorry if this seemed like a rant but I wanted to make every1 aware of Nissan's TERRIBLE customer service even all the way up to corporate....plus Im super excited about our new car =)

Trex
This weekend to celebrate my moms birthday we finally went to the downtown Disney restaurant that opened last year - Trex. We were a bit worried because my lil mushala Crystal is such a daredevil but for some reasons is terrified of the characters at Disney , let alone huge roaring robot dinos! So we finally had her convinced ( after about 18 months) that she could brave it...
Well Im glad she did because it was a BLAST! The place is amazing. The outside looks like a dino cave with overflowing waterfalls and when u walk in u see a HUGE Trex that roars and moves. Crystal was not fond of him at all but Giovanni LOVED him!! I think he wanted to take him home..but he wouldnt fit in our car..haha! As you all know my son is a boy of very lil words but sure enough he took one look at that Trex and said " thats dada" so of course the hubby was thrilled being compared by his son to such a strong creature =p....I just thought it was super cute...
There are a few sections inside and it included an ice cave, pit, and many more moving dinos. Crystal eventually warmed up to the idea and enjoyed her "roars" ( dino nuggets) and at the end was mesmorized by the chocolate exctintion dessert...it was crazy, 4 HUGE brownies, 4 HUGE servings of ice cream with of course syrup , nuts and the works..but the coolest part was this smoking volcano in the middle!!( I will post pics as soon as I can) Also needless to say the whole table had to share this dessert!!
I highly recomend this restaurant if you are in the Disney area and are looking to enjoy yourself, be mesmerized and have some great food. Only con is make sure to bring a hefty wallet, the place was NOT cheap!! but , TOTALLY worth it =)

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 =)

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!
