I’m a big supporter of the (RED) campaign.
And not just ’cause the t-shirts are pretty freakin’ awesome.
That’s all.
If you don’t know what (RED) is, here’s some info from their website joinred.com
(RED) is a simple idea that brings together our power as people who buy, with our power as people who care.
When you buy (PRODUCT) RED™ items, up to 50% […]

Record my brain. That way when I have a kick ass dream-that inspires a brand new story I don’t have to get out of bed in the middle of the night.
I could just lay there and narrate silently what I wanted to get out of my head so as I don’t forget it. It’s while I’m laying there half asleep when my ideas […]
Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded.
And the atoms in you left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand.
It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics.
You are all stardust.
All the things that matter for evolution and for life weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were […]
A friend who also happens to be a sorority sister (which makes her even more awesome) posted on her facebook tonight that she gave a ride to an expectant mother nine months along. She is that sort of person, always willing to lend a helping hand. If there were more people like her I think our world would be much nicer.
Sometime […]

Always remember, only your heart can be broken.
Your soul and all its pieces, are immutable and unchangeable,
and most importantly impossible to destroy.
I didn’t write that. I’m not sure who did, I read it somewhere once and wrote it down. Tonight, I felt like sharing it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m sitting here watching […]

I haven’t rode on a Ferris Wheel in quite some time. I fully intend to remedy that the next chance I get.
There is something magical about Ferris Wheels. You climb into this colorful carriage and it whisks you off into the sky where you see things you wouldn’t normally get the chance to with your feet firmly planted on […]

It’s raining. Today is my birthday. I love rainy days when I don’t have anything out of doors planned. The rain is a perfect gift.
Rain on your birthday is […]

For me, summer and freckles go hand in hand. They get much more prominent, when I was younger they used to bug me. They […]

Laundry is the bane of my existence. Okay, I may be a tad dramatic but I kid you not-I’d rather clean my bathroom then fold and put away laundry. I realize that the washer and dryer do all of the work I don’t mind sorting and the actual washing of the laundry because of that. I also know that it could be […]

I want a white tattoo-I have for ages and ages. Two years really-but still long enough to be sure. I think it would make a perfect birthday gift […]
Came across this the other day and I thought it rather inspirational and so I am sharing it with you all.
All my boys are sound asleep. The hubs is snoring so loud I wouldn’t be surprised if my neighbor could hear him.
I should feel tired.
I know I’m tired.
I am however, wide awake.
I’m going to unplug and read for a bit while I reflect on […]
June 14th, 2010 | Tags: kids' toothbrushes | Category: My 2 Cents, Random |
Yesterday I purchased these toothbrushes for my son. I also got some for the hubs and I. When my son asked a very thought provoking question.
“How come you don’t have cool pictures on your toothbrush?”
Why don’t adult toothbrushes come with cool graphic designs?
I know I’d dig one with some flowers or especially a fleur de lis.

You know how when a song gets stuck in your head it tends to stay there for a while. Today-all day, I’ve had two songs stuck in my head. A mash-up of sorts and no two songs could be completely different.
Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” & The Theme Song to the Disney Cartoon Phineas and Ferb
Here’s a peek into my mental-music.
There’s 104 days of summer vacation
She hides true love.
En su bolsillo
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it
She’s got a halo ’round her finger.
Around you.
Don’t say my name, don’t say my name Alejandro…MOOOOM, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!
Well, there you have it folks. A peek inside my brain. Continue reading Mental-Music

I have so much to do. Instead I’m sitting here munching on lemon heads and tinkering about on the web. I need to give myself a swift kick in the ass but unfortunately my knees don’t bend backwards.
I’ve also got a killer sore throat a runny nose, and my ears are itching. I think it’s allergies or perhaps a side effect of […]

I realize my posts have been low on the content for a little while now. My writing in general has been off kilter (literally too-Vertigo’Round anyone?) I’ve been preoccupied with other things lately and writing, which is usually my escape has been put on the back burner. I’m working at working on getting more me put back […]
Yesterday I found out that Just Dance (the dancing video game) was hosting a talent search. The winner will get to be featured on their next video game and win a trip to Paris!
I couldn’t help myself. I had to enter.
I thought I may pass out afterward as I’ve still got a bit of vertigo but you know I don’t need much of an any […]
I stumbled upon this quote this afternoon quite serendipitously (if you read my blog regularly, you know how much I love serendipity) and I liked it quite a lot. I also found the following slightly different quote attributed to Audrey Hepburn. It basically sums up me. Not all of me of course, but a pretty big chunk of me.
“I believe in manicures. […]

Everything leaves a mark. It’s true. The simplest of acts can cause an indelible mark on our own lives or on someone else. Chances are we won’t even realize it-the marks that get left on our lives or those that we leave on others. Today I’m thinking about the marks we do notice. Sometimes something so amazing […]

As promised proof positive of my absolute and irrevocable dork-dom!
To better understand the birth of this short video clip check out this vlog.
Oh, and in case you were wondering…
Yes. This is how I act 95% of the time.
Then there’s this…me earlier. I posted it to […]
Today I found myself once again the getter of bugs, chaser of flies, and slayer of dragons.
Big gnarley ones with stinky fiery breath that jump out of closets and chase you around in their underwear, causing us to squirm into spaces much to small for our bodies like beneath a fairy’s bed, or inside a robin’s egg. Somehow-at the […]
