go NINERS!!!! that was one NAIL BITING game!!!!

had a very nice day all around. woke up to beautiful Lukey sayin' it's light outside...no more time for sleeping....and we watch Capt Jack Sparrow kill Davy Jones while Rob slept.

then we went 'home' (their house) cuz Georgie was waiting for me to help him bake a red velvet cake....

sylvia made enchiladas mas buenos!!! y salsa & chips.......IT WAS FREAKIN' ONOLICIOUS!

and we watched the Niners BEAT the Saints in one of the best nail bitin' play-off games I've ever seen!!!!

the highlight of the day ..... spending time with good friends and making memories.

warm and toasty morning comfort

.....venti......extra hot......n-fat....CHAI TEA LATTE....oh how you make mornings bearable....please do not desert me.....never turn your back on me....even tho' more efficient peoples say i am wrong and wasteful to spend my $3.95 every day on your lucious creamy goodness.....
your cinnamon-y pepper flavored steaming liquid is like gold showering down from the heavens wrapping me in comfort and security....preparing me to face the cold faceless day ahead


donations to the CARING FOR JUDIANNE'S CHAI TEA ADDICTION FUND can be made via starbuck's cards in your locality.

SUNDAY .... and a SUNNY DAY

well - i had ONE comment so at least i know that ONE PERSON is listening to my ravings......

for you MY ONE PERSON i will keep my promise and answer my own questions....

i TRY not to have expectations - overall, my tendency to build something or someone up to larger than life can prove disasterous --- who can possibly live up to all the perfection that i project out there into the atmosphere?!?! so in my own twisted thought process - it is better to have no expectations than to expect and be disappointed - cuz then, heck, if you are some how surprised by someone or something doing or being more than you expected then BONUS RAINBOOTS!!!

i have a difficult time setting goals (and i see resolutions as goals) so i am trying babysteps.....i want better health. i am approaching that on many different facets......i am conciously trying to avoid foods made with HFCS, i am trying to eat more fruits vegetables, i am trying (not very successfully) to get more sleep at night.....and the hardest one of all. i am TRYING to find time to go to the club and workout.

this last one proves most difficult because it relies on scheduling my life around others needs.

as to the future of 2012....it's a brand new year, full of hope. anticipating new adventures and revisiting family and friends to make memories for the days ahead.


ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE?!?! i'd LOVE to hear from you!!!!!

first friday of 2012

has this year lived up to expectations so far? have resolutions been put into play? how is today different from the one 365 days ago?

i'm curious to know how you would answer these questions.

leave me comments with your answers ........ if you do, i will answer too! (otherwise i'm just sitting here talking to myself....and that will only serve as a basis for me to check into the looney bin!!)

yesterday was a totally ungrounded random day.

the lack of family is most significant from thanksgiving through to about superbowl.....

reminiscing about the 'good ol' days' always reminds me of all the parties we had......any occasion was a good occasion for everyone to come together and celebrate, but ESPECIALLY on holidays.....decorations and food & drink & togetherness.  playing silly games and telling funny stories.....and always with the new recipes to try PLUS the family standard favorites.

now we just don't have that anymore....family is all gone. friends have their own families to celebrate with it's just me and sometimes haoleboy - if he's not working...no reason to decorate, no reason to cook fun foods. empty echoing walls.

i don't want it to be this way........not forever!!!

follow me....where i go....what i do....who i know...

....won't you take my hand and come and follow me?

lol...'course on the flip side of this coin.
if you DO follow me.......
i have to have something profound (or inconsequetial) to say to you on a fairly regular basis......

which IN TURN means you NEED to give me comments. i CRAVE the unadultrated attention!

day 4

....new for 2012. i will try to keep my randomness incheck by placing it all in this spot.
if you want, join the ride.......i PROMISE their will be ups & downs.....possibly sideways twists & turns too
