Trickin' and Treatin' pic's

Adios Undead Amigos

Halloween was pretty much off the chizane this year cuz we threw 2 parties and attended 3 more !Then got to Trick orTreat in this tricked out ride that has 6 seats (comfortable with the latest stadium seating) and raked in alot of loot. We walked around my parents neighborhood and the kids loved being at the Glamparents, getting ready together and giving a few standing O's to some dedicated homeowners Ghoulish decorations( think body bags with severed limbs,smoke bubbles and giant spiders).I went as some form of crazy mumuu wearing lady sporting a fine unibrow and afro for effect. Kevin was a Chippendale at one party and a clown at another- don't worry I brought a few $$$ for the dancer-I am a good tipper! Xander was the Phantom of the Opera(red rose included) Nash was Elvis (pelvic thrust not optional) Remi as a dead Zombie Bride (eyes black as night!)Ava was a Pretty Princess( glitter and red lips) and Sloan was a Lady Bug. I am ready to say goodbye to the undead and hello to the actual dead (Pilgrims, Indians and nice fatty turkeys with stuffing) as we enter November. Farewell vampire rats, black widows,ghosts and costco sized drums of fake blood - you were all awesome!I am excited for Starbucks Hot chocolate and pumpkin pie and an occasional hoodie . ...I will miss my mumuu .

My secret Dream.....

I know what you are thinking 'That's a lot of neon swim caps!' my thoughts exactly. I am also thinking that my secret life long goal (not the one to host SNL)is to do a tri ( when you are cool and actually DO triathlons you call 'em tri's) is about to come to fruition.While I do not run unless being chased by a rabid dog or something and I do not swim long distances ( does water aerobics count?) and I currently don't even own a bike much less a road bike ( when you are cool and DO tri's you call it a road bike) I still think I can get my act together for the Malibu Tri next Sept . So I am going to do a few races between now and then to get ready. My first will be Dec.6th and then I am eyeing a 1/2 marathon in January. My feet hurt thinking about it because I seriously can barely run for 10 min. straight! Anyway I want to try and do this for my health and just to prove to myself that I can( In high school I used my powers of persuasion to get out of EVERY mile run cuz' running pretty much sucks) .So I am telling everyone so I can have some accountability and a few extra prayers cuz' I am scared!

NKOTB for you and me

Last night the Heavens parted and I witnessed a miracle I never dreamed could happen! My beloved NKOTB ( New Kids On The Block for those of you woefully unfamiliar with the late 80's dream boats) reunited and put on the show of shows and the screaming thirty somethings couldn't get enough. We ( my 4 fab sisters and I) had fab seats on the floor in the middle and then ( half way through the show) out of nowhere the Kids got on a stage about 20 feet from us and performed a few choice songs! We convinced Chelsea ( lets face it she didn't need much convincing and she had the most no bra friendly outfit) to remove her red bra and chuck it at 'em -Devz tried and failed then Chels had to search the middle aged cankles of the audience for the crimson number. Just as soon as they popped up in the sea of estrogen they were gone and rushed passed Hilari and I as we touched ( grabbed,accosted, molested) each New Kid as they sped by . Heaven isn't too far away!Kelli danced the WHOLE time and we bonded with one another last night in a deep and profound way- like when you serve in a war or survive a natural disaster together. I have pictures - LOTS of pictures- Don't worry my pets you will get a glimpse of the mayhem and beauty of the show and it will make your mind Explode. Get the paper towels ready-its gonna get messy.

The Grass Isnt always Greener

I have been thinking this week about gratitude and being thankful for the challenges we get to have in this life. Sometimes I have felt some trials were almost insurmountable and then prayer,faith and time corrects my flawed thinking and voila the problem is gone or changed. Luckily it changes me too. I get to learn patience ,humility and meekness in a way I would not have without a little (or a lot of) struggling. Everyone has hard things to deal with and I guess just being grateful for the opportunity to grow ( sometimes I think I've grown enough!) is what I need to shoot for. No one has a perfect life or one without some stress.I have always heard that if everyone put their problems in a pile you'd pick up yours again.Like Kanye says " That that don't kill me can only make me stronger" sing it to me sweet Mr. West.
