“If you were to press your heart close up against somebody else’s heart eventually your hearts will start beating at the same time. And two little babies in an incubator, their hearts will beat at the same time. Love that. So if you have somebody in your life that is prone to anxiety, like myself, and if you happen to be a calm person, you could come up and hug me heart to heart and my heart hopefully would slow to yours. And I just love that idea. Or maybe yours would speed up to mine. But either way, we’ll be there together.”

Currently en route to Roseville,ca on this beautiful crisp Saturday afternoon. Sipping on a chai latte from Starbucks, my drink of choice... Great for the throat especially if you've been coughing all night as I have. The mister is driving so I get to fiddle faddle with the iPad like a boss :) this post is basically an impromptu due to boredom and to prevent car sickness. I'm used to driving so sitting on the passenger side kinda makes me qweezy. So idk what else to write sooo I'll just leave this post as is, kinda like a HUGE status update.. Lol

Hope everyone is getting their shopping done and in a ladylike manner (no pushing, shoving, or death threats at the mall pls) hehhehe

Peace and balance

Bev

my thoughts.

if not now, then when?

Hello, December.

It has been quite an eventful past few days. Thanksgiving came and went and now the holidays are finally here. The year is almost over and while others are scurrying trying to get their Christmas shopping done, others are savoring every moment 2011 has to offer, me on the other hand CANNOT wait for 2011 to end (IMP) just because its been the worst year of my life...

ANYWAYS. Here are some candid moments from since we last spoke Cyber friends.

Went to my good friend Sheilla's open mic gig at Java Aroma with my HS friends

Had breakfast with Ihsan & he got a free sourdough turtle thats still chillin' in my kitchen lol

Went to Thundervalley casino to press my luck

Pre-gambling toasts with good company

Our cabin for 3 days

The view from outside our cabin

Keep Tahoe blue ya'll

Sunset picture captured

Back at the cabin... Gayles photoshoot to sell fireplaces

Random makeovers with the makeup you brought, hey carolyn *wink*

Took this picture of Gayle, apparently I was more excited about how this turned out more that she did.

Carolyn & I basking in the warm sun and taking in the crisp air

Back at home, driving past the grape vineyards

My welcome home gift from the UPS guy

A pinecone for Ihsan <3

peace & blessings

Re-CAP

Ihsan's birthday weekend was awesome. The kids had fun and so did the adults.

Watched the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight... lol that fight was so intense it made me laugh!

Anyways on with the show...

So I bought Parmesan and Caramel popcorn for the fight... 2 gallons

(originally $34.99; paid 24.99) tin can full of nummy goodness,

refillable for $24.99-- hey, why not? lol

its chillin' in my trunk just incase i break out with a CRAVE.

Heres my son with my sister. He's eating a spring roll after school while my sister and I devoured a kiwi/strawberry/banana/vanilla icecream/nutella/whip crepe- nom.nom.nom.

So I worked Noc shift (1030pm-700am) and afterwards Carolyn invited me to breakfast, she worked Noc shift too.... this is what happens when you dont sleep.

You turn into that dood from Big Trouble in Little China.

So Carolyn, her parents, and I had breakfast at this joint called CasaGrandes, as you can see from this ginormous pile of 3 pancakes... the name doesnt lie.

This mom and pop shop was everything but ordinary.

& as a nightcap, lol...

My friend Gayle, the Mister, and I headed out to Boudin SF to grab a late dinner.

The mister was craving a good bread bowl of Chili, BF wanted tomato soup, and I wanted a sandwhich/salad combo. I got the most NOMcious sandwhich ever!

Melted Brie cheese with fig jam, apples, in between parmesan crusted bread (I die). Oh is that my chili bowl in the corner? & a chili bowl. FPS (fat.people.stuff)

Okay folks, AM shift tomorrow...

hopefully when im NOT working I'll be able to do a FOTD for ya'll.

Goodnight & Happy Eats :)

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

I woke up to a gigantic hug and a beaming smile from my son this morning.

I almost forgot whose birthday it was, mine or his.

It felt as if he was thanking me for his life,

when I in fact should be thanking him for mine.

Journal Entry 11.10.11

" And Ihsan will run up to you, with arms wide open as yours.

You embrace him, and say "all my tiredness is gone". If I can give Ihsan anything for his birthday, it would be that moment. I love you, & miss you more than words can say..."

I love you Dad

"Everything I do, I do it for you. Anything that might be special in me, is you."

Great Expectations

love always, in all ways

Hey Now,

Whats up People! Its been awhile, lets do a little re-cap of my life shall we? Pictures seem more fun to look at than text, so I'll try to depict my life by captivating you with motionless moments of 2011 thus far, minus the sappy ones. Alright, on we go (looks through iphoto files).

My son graduated Kindergarden ::sighs::

last time i went to Vegas was when i was 12 & with my parents (boo)

Now that I'm grown, Vegas was MY playground :D

first time in Vegas without the parentals (sweet!)

I'm gonna be an auntie! My little sister (who i still think is 12)

is expecting a baby girl, named Emma. I did her makeup ::ahem::

& me and my better half, are still going strong. est. 2005"ish"

Wish-list coming soon, I started a folder on my desktop already.

Whatever I think is dope to have, I'll throw it in the folder and show it to ya'll. Maybe there will be a pt I and pt II depending on how many items catch my eye... OOOO PROJECT! & of course I'll make sure my secret santa person will have the link to my blog, (& the mister).

Happy Holidays Everyone.

Peace & Balace.

Love.

Bev.
