This is a sad post. My Brother and Sister In Law lost their 14 year old cat. Four months ago he was diagnosis with Diabetes after a $4000 hospital stay. They have been giving him daily shots of insulin. They left on Vacation on Friday and boarded the cat with a vet.

They received a call yesterday that his blood sugar crashed and he was basically in a coma. After lots of thought they chose comfort measures because that was not his only health problems, and who's to say it wouldn't happen again. The vest said he woke up briefly yesterday so they were feeling optimistic, however they received a call on Monday morning that he had passed away. Poor Chico, he has the best 14 years of life a cat could have! R.I.P Chico

Who would you invite? I was thinking about this the other day while on the treadmill at the gym. I think about the most random things while at the gym sometimes. I guess its because I actually have the time to think then.

I am a huge comedy lover, nothing puts a smile on my face like a good laugh, even if it about myself. So with that in mind my dinner party would have some funny guests.

Robin Williams

Will Ferrell

John Belushi

Adam Sandler

Chris Farley

Phil Hartman

Jaime Fox 

Einstein ( yeah I know so random compared to my list but I always wondered about him)


Starting to look like and SNL reunion huh? Well I loved that show, yes I said loved not so much anymore. I also used to love In Loving Color! I would want my dinner party to be full of laughs! So how about you who would you invite and why?

This is my mantra for now. I am human and being one I make mistakes. I have never claimed nor will I ever claim to be perfect. I try hard to make the right choices in life but they aren't always easy.


I quit smoke in April of 09. I had smoked for 17 years so that was a major accomplishment. I felt good, felt like I had beat my addiction; that is until I faltered and smoked a few. That poor decision led to the next, I bought  a pack.

I felt myself teetering on the verge and bought and E cigarette but I did that too late. I will quit again I am sure as it was wonderful to have that HUGE monkey off my back. For now though I am again a smoker. I am disappointed in myself but it is what it is. I quit something for a period of time I never dreamed possible. I am sure that it will happen again.

I just happen to notice a few deal to use if you are in Arizona this week at Fry's! The best part is since not everyone gets insert coupons these can be done using printable from one of my favorite printable resource!

.75 On any one Dole Salad it is a Ralph's coupon but technically Fry's is a division of Ralph's so we should be able to use it! (thanks Eve). The Dole Salads are on sale for 1.00  So FREE with coupon!

Seriously I don't know if its a cultural thing, and Arizona thing or what but really why the need to wear club wear and spike heals for every occasion?


I see this at the Swap meet (flea markets out here), School, and other places I would never think of wearing this stuff. I mean how comfortable can it be walking around dirt areas, and a college campus with a 30 lbs back pack?

I of all people know how exciting it can be to dress up especially if you are home 99% of your time but really? I love to get a dolled up IF the occasion calls for it, but ONLY if the occasion calls for it. I hate feeling over dressed! Comfort is a major thing to me. You can be comfortable and not look slobbish!

So I was just wondering why?

It was time, time for me to move away from the point and shoot cameras. Time to move onto a bigger better more capable camera. I did quiet a bit of research before I made this purchase! I love photography and with little point and shoots there is only so much you can do! I loved my old Cannon power shot, it took great photos but was still very limited. I wanted something to learn with again as I took a class in high school where I did it all. I do mean all I would take the pictures with a regular SLR camera, remove the film from the canisters in a light proof bag, process the film, and develop it in a dark room.


I loved that class and the creative outlet it offered me! So I spent my hard earned money on a new baby! As I said I looked around a lot and read tons of reviews and settled for the Sony Alpha A230, and I must say I am impressed already!

I haven't had the opportunity to use a ton of the settings or even get back into manually changing ISO settings and such, but look at what I have done!










































































And check out the Lightning! I did test out a special setting and shutter speed for these, lighting is hard to photograph!


























I cant wait to have the time to really test out this cameras capabilities, but you cant complain when even you worst shots come out good!
