Endorphins, shoes, and addiction...

Happy Wednesday Friends....

Two more work days then you are free for some fun in the sun!

First things first...

Santa, thanks for giving me a little break in the rain today. I throughly enjoyed the sun rays playing peek-a-boo with me until I went on my lunch, then it really came out. You see, when I am in my car, and the sun is shining, I roll down my windows, blare my music, sing at the top of my lungs, and dance. Yep I dance.

Which got me thinking...does the sun provide endorphins.

After a few clicks, I found that, yes, the sun can turn your frown upside down! 

So, if your cooped up in your office, moping around, look for a moment of sunshine and go outside to soak it up.

Ok Mr. Sun, I get that we have a love hate relationship. But I would much rather love you than hate you! Come to play, and stay!

Another reason why summer is more than welcome, is because I have an addiction, that seems to get worse when the sun is away.

Anyone else feel like they are naked if they don't have ChapStick at their immediate disposal 24 hours a day?

I know these guys feel me...ahh...Chapstick...your the one. The strawberry flavor and I go way back, but Cherry was always there first!

Time for...

:::::Day 5:::::

Favorite Shoes

Really? Really? I am a 25 year old woman, I don't have one favorite pair of shoes, I have MANY!

From pumps, and boots, to flats, and wedges, my closet is overflowing (which probably drives my boo crazy) but I still have a need for more!

*Please notice I said need not want. Much like chapstick, shoes are an addiction. However, indulging in a shoe addiction over a chapstick addiction is highly unlikely (it's also financial suicide), so I will keep up my chapstick addiction, and add to the shoe collection as I see fit!

Either way, these pretty littlesparklegemmess would look absolutely amazing on my feet.

(Just like the red ones I posted yesterday, would look ultrafab)

Check it:

-Now pick your mouth up and wipe that drool off...I already know they are amazing. And they will be mine!

Well, that's it for today. For future reference, I won't do two of the same postings in a row. As much as I like shoes, two posts back to back is no bueno for some people. Gotta please them all, you know!

Well, I blogged, nite,

DDemure

Santa? Is that you? I have a bone to pick with you...

Oh Thank God! It is him!!!

Well, Since Ava and I found Santa and Mr. Clause on our walk, I figured it was time to tell him to step it up!  You see, I've been a good little girl, and I don't ask for much, so please, please, listen carefully this time Santa. (I have a lil tude towards him, only because he's been hiding out minutes away from OUR house, not the North Pole, shame on him)

Ok here is MY list:

• Give us some SUMMER! This rain is the 'ish and it makes me feel like that too!
• Since your living around here. CAN YOU PLEASE take care of these nasty things:

• And for my second request regarding these CROWS (yes! I have more than one!), please stop them from pooping on anything in my vicinity. I've been hit in the head, on the arm while in my car (yes! I was driving!!), on my jacket, car, and mailbox. Enough is Enough already. 

Sidenote : For those of you who believe that a bird pooping on your head is good luck, your full of it! All I got was crapped on 3 more times! If that's your definition of luck, you need some better luck!

• It seems to me that people always try to get in that Christmashappygoluckyspirit by the time Black Friday rolls around. So, wanna sprinkle some happyhappyjoyjoy in the air, and let that migrate in to peoples brains?? I mean, come on Santa, how thrilling would it be to see thousands doing something like this...

Last but not least I would really really like these:

I've been good. and we belong together.

Favorite quote

 The shy go hungry.

Think about it, if you don't ask, you can't receive. Put yourself out there. Ask questions. At the very least all you will hear is No. At least you can't say you didn't try.

Sidenote:  I've used this philosophy for getting great deals. If something is damaged and I know I can make it look new again, I will generally take it after I ask for a reasonable discount (sorry: 5% won't work here!). Generally the seller is happy with the sell of a damaged item, and I have a new project!

It's a win, win situation! pps: I also apply this philosophy for most areas of my life...not just great deals.

Well, since it still looks like 'ish, I think it's time to make some root beer cupcakes (I will post pics and a recipe tomorrow!) and snuggle up with this little ham, while we wait for daddy to get home.

It's okay...

Be jealous...

Happy cuddling,

Think your seeing double...your NOT!

Hey hey hey!! Yep here it is. You lucky person, you. 2 in 1 day. Psh! I think I can say I just MADE your weekend! Have some juicy stuff for you today. It's gonna be a good one.

Today was a good day. It seems like just yesterday this little one was still a bump in my belly, now she is graduating preschool, and becoming more and more of a little girl, than a toddler. I can't believe she will be a kindergartener next year!! Time flies...way to fast! Check out the grin on this grad:

(it wouldn't rotate, but you still get to see those teeth!)

I could not ask for a more intelligent, amazing, cheerful, daughter than the one that I was blessed with!

While I wasn't working, or watching the most adorable preschool graduation ever, I was surfing the net and found this!

Even at the age of 30, the royals copy Cinderella. I suppose that Disney has not let all little girls down. After all Kate was a commoner. But the probability of 99.89% of girls will be let down. Come on Disney, stop giving our kids a false sense of hope here!

Ok, so the weekend is here and I am sure you are looking for things to do, and activties to enjoy. As you know SF can never let you down in the entertainment department. And this weekend is ZAZZLE!

So be prepared for the streets to look like this:

Men looking like this:

Women looking like this:

Things looking like this:

And it's not a promise but you might be lucky enough to see 8 elvis' peeing!

Ugh Huh, Ugh Huh, Yeah yeah.

Sh*t...now I'm all shook up!

Well, if your going to B2B have an amazgingfabuloushellofatime. If your not try to catch some of it.

Rules have changed a little : No mas alcohol...but who needs that to have fun anyway? Be safe and enjoy life in whatever venture you get yourself in to this weekened!

Sunshine rays and happy days,

DDemure 

Playing Catch Up...

 I know. We had an agreement, it was even signed. But, Blogspot wanted to show its crappy side and rain on my parade. Haha, little do they know I dance in the rain, so blah! Either way, you’re in for something awesomlywicked today. "WHY?" You ask?!? Because you my friend, get two blogs out of this little blonde spitfire today!

::::: Day 2::::

My favorite movie:

Well, I have a few. You see I can sit in a theater and laugh my arse off to a comedy. Sip cocktails and enjoy a chick flick, or I can get all antsyandoffmyrocker watching some kind of crime scene killer. Those three genres are prob my faves, but I'm always lovin on movies. Just remember keep the lights on or make it good, because my abilities to stay awake for night movies are just about nonexistent.

So instead of doing my fav movie I choose 3:

• Where the heart is: an awesome story about a teen that has a baby in a Wal-Mart, and forms a family with people around her. It is an amazingly uplifting story of loyalty, love, and happiness in so many forms. Great, great movie.
• Thomas Crown Affair: Um, if you have not seen this, smack yourself in the face and ask why?? Such an awesome story of a millionaire who steals art for the fun of it. The wit and smarts in this movie are unbelievingly surprising.

Last but not least:

Double Jeopardy: She is savage. Willing to do anything for her child she is freaking mind-blowing in this movie.

Of course there are others but these three stick out in my head, if you haven't seen any of them. GO NOW to the movie store, and plan a night in! You can thank me later.

Moving right along.

If your here locally, you already know the shark news. I have a few things to say about this:

• It's about damn time boys! How many seasons have you done this to us?
• Why must you waste energy just to get all the way to game 7 and leave your fans in total anticipationthrowstuffcrazymode just to win it anyway. Let's just keep it to 4 games, humm-k??
• And boys embarking on this new adventure, let's keep our eyes on the puck. Niemi, good save, even if you were hoarding it in your pants.

That's it folks.

Live Bold-Live Free-Live Well-The possibilities are endless,

Freebie...

I've been busy friends. Extremely busy!!! But you know what that means! I have a lot to talk about. So snuggle up we have some good things for you today!

As a mother, I wear many different hats. I am a mother (which is always comes first), friend, confidante, baker, nurse, teacher, transporter, and at times I feel as if I am part of the HAZMAT too!! Needless to say, I enjoy each role and look forward to taking on more, as my Ava Bava gets older.  

Yesterday I was baker, you see, its teacher appreciation week at Ava's school. We love her teachers. All of them! 

So here is your DO for the day: Ava and I made Pink Lemonade cupcakes, garnished lemon butter cream icing and mini umbrellas.  Super easy, and a super refreshing treat. They came out um.... Amazing! And the teachers were absolutely floored! Here's what we brought!

While the cupcakes were baking Ava drew thank you cards to her teachers. When finished she looked at me and said, "I have a kind heart mommy." I almost teared up. (Um, excuse me but: This little girl is amazing in every way possible) Before she gave me the chance to cry though she grabbed a cupcake and enjoyed it to the einth degree! Check it out! That folks, is a kind heart!

After playing the role of maid, and cleaning up the crumbs that Mila missed, we went for a walk. While enjoying the beautiful 80 degree weather we stumbled on this find. Even Mila knows something is wrong with this picture!

As if you didn't know this is a DON'T. It's May! Where did that thing even come from? Was there a martinlutherpresidentsvalentinessaintatrickseasterday tree or something? Or was it just someone's laziness and now they have decided to let the rest of the community deal with this fire hazard??? Just lame.

To wrap up this you will never guess what happened to me tonight!!

For those of you who laughed with Ross and Rachel, I am sure you remember the episode in which there is a "freebie list" basically you get 5 celebrities to (uh hum, earmuffs little ones) sleep with. Watch this I am sure you will remember it! (sorry the video wouldn't work on my page and I'm sleepy!!) 

Ross and Rachel Freebie Episode

It was exactly like the show. You know the "list" will always change a little for a man, but once it's laminated there's no changing it! I've been told that I look like Michelle Pfeiffer when she was younger so, babe, this I will take as a compliment. Still it's a little scary how this all went down...

Michelle Pfeiffer on my J's "list".  Having a chill night at work he looks up and Bam! Who walks in for dinner the blonde hair, blue-eyed beauty! He immediately called me with the "freebie list" reference, and then I realized crap!!! Thank God for Mommy Juice and cupcakes!

Sweet Dreams!

My fingertips radiate sunshine...

Well hello there, you lil sugar plums! It's another day in the neighborhood!! The sky is clear, and I feel like a rockstarvaticanassasin, BAM, yes that happened! Today is the day when I feel like sunshine is radiating from my fingertips! Why? That is a very good question. Just be happy I am here to make you smile!

I know, It's Tuesday....the day of the week that means you got past Monday, but you still have to get to Wednesday to feel like there is an end in sight. You'll be there before you know it!

A little trick I taught myself years ago:

• Instead of thinking about each day as a "mundane Monday" or a "weekend ready Wednesday" just think of it as work days, and non-work days. Trust me, not thinking about the actual day will make your work days go faster, and your weekends come sooner! Try it! I dare you!

Well, I have some fun things for you today. You should probably use the bathroom now because if you don't pee yourself after this, just wait till you click on the Shake your Chicken link! Since, I haven't heard much about Charlie Sheen recently, I found a "Winning Recipes" show for all you winners out there. Let me tell you, you winning fans, are in for a treat, mostly your abs, because you'll be on the floor laughing.

This is what made me shoot sunshine from my fingers today! Let's hope it has the same effect on you!

DUH, WINNING!

I know that you are still trying to pick yourself off the floor, because you realized that this is actually Sheen! And he is able to pull this off without even one smirk.

I feel for this man, because he is basically being laughed at, and in this case promoting it! With that said, people DON'T put yourself out there like he has, and not expect a response! Seriously, look where you live, EVERYONE has a response!

What you could DO is live your life in its whole entirety for true loyalty, and genuine family and friends. Family is what you make it. Sometimes it is blood, sometimes it is not, either way you know that no matter what you do, say, or feel, you will not be judged, but listened to. Knowing you will always have trustworthy, happy, whole people surrounding you, is going to not only make you shoot sunshine through your fingers but rainbows galore. 

-End in Point: Everyone wants to be happy, and we all deserve it-

Nonetheless, I have found something even better! 

Just to keep your happiness here always on going! 
Is this for real? Burger King has a live streaming dancing chicken (it's a human, and no it's not me!) that he will do what you say, when you say it! Yes Please...and thank you BK for knowing what your customers really want!
People the worm, the rabbit, even the electric slide. This chicken gets it!!! 

So, Check this out for a gobbles of fun:

Shake that Chicken

Yes! I thought you would enjoy that!

Well, that boys and girls made me shoot double rainbows across the sky; but check out what this guy  pulled off!! 

Oops forgot one thing before I post let me check one thing...ok Post!
DUH! WINNING

Just another Manic Monday....

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

My, oh my, what a wonderful day

Plenty of sunshine headin' my way

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay....

Ok ok, I get it. That's probably a little much for you to take in on this blissfully sublime day. But it is still fabulous, and I feel like singing. However, much like me, most of you are probably in your office, cursing out each person (in-between songs of course) that walks by the window. Secretly wishing you were them, trust me I want to be out there too, this sunshine is addictive! But since I can't, I am looking forward to reliving my weekend through this post!

WARNING-I ran in to quite a few dullards this weekend! Be prepared!

Dillard of the day-

So we have all walked down a strip mall, and have spotted one of these horrendous traps:

Once your child sees this, you know you are about to hear a parade of questions!! So you do everything you can to steer clear and avoid the nasty, germ infested thing that is called a "toy."

Well, I didn't have to avoid it this time. As we were walking by this thing, a woman ran up to the toy. She looked at me and Ava and said, "No kid, is gonna use this right? Hope not! Now, I can plug in my phone."

Folks, this woman unplugged the toy, and sat on the toy car and waited while it charged.

With a Starbucks a few doors down, it was very humoring to know that she would rather play in a child’s toy car and wait for her phone to juice up, than just get a coffee and enjoy an adult atmosphere...some people, folks, some people. Either way it was a sight to see....

Ok, well on to the next!

Well, we took the little to a new park this weekend. The G4 app "iwant" hooked it up with surrounding parks, so we are on a mission to find the best in the area. We went to a park in the Foothill/Cupertino neck of the woods. It was awesomely amazing. And the kid loved it too. 

However we did make a few interesting observations:

Like this one....Can you spot what's wrong with this picture??

Need some help!? This picture is a little hard to see, but if you look closely this man is carrying a red gas can. WHY?? That friends is a good question. After they walked around the same circle a few times the woman jumped on a purple toy dinosaur and the couple left! UM What the hell is going on?

To top off our trip to this park...we witnessed a man, looking like this:

Pull off a drug deal, to a woman looking like this:

YES! YOU TWO! IT WAS THAT OBVIOUS. REALLY? THAT HAPPENED?

So, though it was a very nice park, I'm thinking there are more wholesome ones out there!

Well, folks besides that and the death of Osama, it was quite a great weekend!! It is nice to see that our American people still unite, and are able to stick together to get a task done. But please be aware we are at even more of a risk for attack now, so just keep your eyes open; be aware of the people around you. By using that in every instance, you will be able to see things that are generally blind to most people. So, turn off your phone, and your Pandora, and just listen and watch. You'll be amazed!

Sorry friends for rambling today, but being that your at the "Daily Ramblings" site what did you expect??

However, I have to get the hell out of here; the sunshine is calling my name!

 If you want one amazing recipe for Hawaiian Burgers, you know where to find me. It is ultra refreshing in this heat!  

XOXO,

DDemur

And I'm still singing:
