When life hands you lemons...
Screw the lemonade.. where is the vodka??
Like everyone else, sometimes I just think life is out to get me. I know I really can't complain too much - I have a wonderful family, a nice house that's mine, a job, nice cars.. etc. I could take a walk through Del Paso Heights and see plenty of people that are a lot worse off than me. However.. sometimes.. I can't help but feel like things just can't ever go our way.
Anthony received word a few days ago that his company either filed Chapter 7.. or was forced into.. we aren't really sure. They have already let everyone but just a few people go and it appears Anthony will be the last man standing, but still will find himself without a job, on Christmas Eve. Can anyone BELIEVE that? How about a big FUCK YOU from Santa this year? Thanks, you douchebag.
I really try not to use my usual profanity here just in case my Mom reads this.. but sorry Mom.. I just had to.
This economy just sucks. It's really terrible and trying to find a new job when your background is sales, retail management and travel = pretty impossible. Maybe Anthony will pull a rabbit out of his hat and we'll be okay.. like we've always been.
We had to give notice to our day care today. Her response? To tell us that if we pull Matthew out at the end of January, she might not have an open spot for him when Anthony does find work again. Great - thanks!
I guess now we pray unemployment doesn't run out.
This just sucks.

The Lakers lose to the KINGS!?!? Seriously!?
Ashton, are you there? Am I being punked?
Do the Lakers NOT know I live and work in Kings country and I cannot show my face at work if they lose??
Wake up Lakeshow! Your D was EMBARRASSING!

Pout!
I tried to buy Britney tickets the DAY they went on sale - nothing available except the very top nose bleed seats in the corner. No thanks!
Sadness.
Sadness.

My Happiest Place on Earth
An ode to Disneyland..
Most people that know me can attest to the fact that I am a Disney fanatic. I have a borderline obsession with all that is Disney. My obsession doesn't just carry over to Disneyland itself (although it's definitely my favorite part), it extends to clothing, collectibles, movies, gifts.. everything. I am the ultimate Disney fan.
There was a time when Anthony was dragged to Disneyland every few months.. usually 3-4 times per year. This became increasingly impossible when we moved to Northern California, so we settled on coming once a year. Of course, I want my annual visit to be over Christmas because there is truly nothing like it. I hate the summer, heat, crowds.. everything about Disneyland in the summer. The holiday season at Disneyland is just magic. Aside from the beautiful decorations, they have snow! (Okay.. it's really bubbles made by some liquid soap) Disneyland is so special and magical for me.. but combine it with my FAVORITE time of the year and it's just the greatest thing ever.
So of course this Christmas, we'll be making our annual trip to my favorite place on earth and even though I've been probably 25 times.. I can't wait!
I'm already thinking about my favorite rides..
Pirates of the Carribbean
The Haunted Mansion
Space Mountain
Of course.. this includes a visit to our favorite restaurant in Downtown Disney.. ESPN Zone!
I have photographic proof of how much I love Disneyland.. and what a good sport my husband is:
Disneyland.. here we come!
