Cutest Entrance to a Wedding Ever

This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. It will be all the rage for weddings this season, I think. If you're having a bad day you have to watch this and it will make you smile from ear to ear.

Dueling Pianos

OMG!!! I had the best time on Saturday night. It was my sil's bday and we went to a dueling piano bar. I have not had that much fun in a long time. We reserved a table (a must because it gets crowded and standing is so not fun) and bought the bday pkg so she got in free and got a bottle of champagne and a free beer glass. We dedicated crazy songs to her all night and got her up on stage. They had about 10 guys from the audience get on one knee and sing "You've Lost the Lovin' Feelin' to her. It was the best. I didn't bring my camera but my sil and her friend did and they promised to send them to me. I will post as soon as I get them.

Board breaking, jumping over your sister and winning a sword (in that order)

Are you saying "WTF?" Well, let me "'splain Lucy". On Saturday, the kids Tae Kwon Do school had a Grand Re-opening (they recently moved to a new very spacious studio). Activities being what they are on the weekends, we were split up between soccer and bball practice but met up at the grand opening around 12:30. After some drama with gee's and such S showed up just in time to participate in a board breaking competition. Unbeknownst to him, he was competing for this really cool sword. He ended up in the top 5 so his instructor told those 5 kids that they needed to break again and it needed to be pretty spectacular. D. motioned to S to take his sister out there and jump over her. She did as she was told (that's her in a ball on the floor. LOL). The judges were making their deterimination and all the kids started chanting S.'s name. It was pretty cool. So he won the sword pictured. Not that I'm proud & bragging. LOL

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I never really thought of myself as an "X-Men" kinda gal, but Hugh Jackman turned me into one. HOLY COW!!! He is soooo hot in this movie. And the movie itself is surprisingly good. Kept my attention for the almost 2 hours that it was on the screen. LOL. Didn't hurt that a for few of those minutes Hugh Jackman was naked!!! I think I may just go back and rent the others now that I know the "origin" =0)

Furture Black Belt in da House

J. tested for and received her Blue I belt in Tae Kwon Do on Friday. We were a little nervous as to whether she was ready but she passed which was pretty cool. Following in big bro's footsteps on the path to Black Belt. =0)

Fresh back from vacay

Good lord, am I tired!!!! Once again I need a vacation from my vacation. We had an action packed week. We went to Magic Mountain, the movies, Sea World, Legoland/Sea Life Aquarium and ended the week with an Easter celebration at D.'s brother's house. Magic Mountain was a hoot. I have discovered that my 8 year old baby girl is a crazy rollercoaster queen. We rode the most intense roller coaster I've ever been on. I'm pretty good on roller coasters but this thing scared the crap out of me. SHE LOVED IT. They took a picture when we were coming down the first drop and I was literally crying and she had a big ol' smile on her face. I so should've bought it 'cause it was hysterical. I was hyperventilating by the end. The only reason she was a little scared was 'cause she was worried about me. LOL. She is hardcore. Seaworld was nice. It's always cool to see those huge whales doing everything that the trainers tell them to. Legoland was ok. It was super crowded but we went with some friends who have kids the same age as S & J so it was good for them. Easter was great. Way too much food but all of it was good and great times with all the kids & family were had. Hope you all had a great Easter as well.

Headin' off for a little R & R

Today is my last day of work before vacation. The kids are on Springbreak for 2 weeks and we try to take at least one week off with them. Last year at this time we were on our Mexican Cruise (sigh...God, I can't believe it's been a year). This year is a little more low key. We're just doing little local things here & there. so I probably won't post this coming week but I'll be sure to have lots of details and pics when I get back.

A Fond Farewell

Well, after 15 years (& I have been faithful for all of it) ER is leaving me. I am so sad. I was there when Doug & Carol had their babies, when Mark found out he had cancer, when John & Kem lost their baby and when Luka and Abby got married. I've seen people come and go and loved every minute of it. Thursday nights just won't be the same for me but I guess I'll get over it. I guess I still have Grey's to get me through my hospital drama withdrawal. =0)


Good-Bye ER, I'll miss you.

J.K. Living (the shirt)

As promised, here I am in my J.K. Livin' t-shirt. It's sooooo comfy. Thanks Matt for making them available, FINALLY!!!!

Sony Classic Soccer Tournament

This past weekend J. participated in the Sony Classic Soccer Tournament. Sony Pictures is here in Culver City and they sponsor a soccer tournament every spring. The best part was that J.'s games were right here at our local park (right behind our house). They played 1 game on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Saturday's game ended in a 0-0 tie (sensing a pattern here?). Sunday's 1st game was a blowout. Our girls (the Culver City Sparks) won 7-1. The 2nd game was soooo intense but unfortunately ended in a 0-0 tie. Those girls were on fire I tell you. The were aggresive, shots on goal were high and so was the energy. It was so fun. Unfortunately, at this age they don't keep standings but it was a great chance for the girls to get more playing time in. So a good time was had by all.

Have Mercy!!!

Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake - New Music - More Music Videos

YOU will be tired after you read about my weekend...

A great weekend but soooooo damn tiring I'm still tired. =0) Saturday J. had her second spring league soccer game and the girls did so much better. They dominated the whole game but just could not get the ball in the net. It ended in a 0-0 tie again but they had so many shots on goal I couldn't even count.
S had a cool experience through his baseball team. They got to meet Team USA and Team Japan at the Urban Youth Academy (where he practices). These are the teams that are playing in the World Baseball Classic. The only name & face that I recognized was Derek Jeter but I thought that was pretty cool. He was also interviewed by ESPN & a Japan sports news channel while he was there.
Then I went out with a friend for a girls night out. It was her sister's birthday and she had gotten a limo and a hotel room. We went for an awesome dinner at a steakhouse called Mastro's and then went dancing. A great time. Got home at 2:30am then had to get up at 6:30 to go to S's baseball games. The first game was supposed to be at 9:30 but the opposing team didn't show (got up at 6:30 for nothing). Next game was at 12:00. Good game. They won but we didn't get home until 3:00. Then J had a meeting with her science project partners, I had to go to the grocery store, finish laundry make dinner and finally got to sit down and relax at 8:00pm. Out of breath yet? I am just thinking about it. All in all a good weekend but boy am I tired.

The Big 4 - 5

No, I'm not turning 45. I'VE LOST 45 LBS!!!!! Today is my weigh-in day and I'm at 45. 19 more to go. Ok that's it. Just had to brag a bit. =0)

J.K. Livin'

Nearly three years ago I blogged about my obsession with Matthew McConaughey and the fact that I wanted to get a J.K. Livin' shirt (his motto) that he had on in an interview. Well, he has finally opened his online store and is selling them. Guess who's gettin' herself one. If you guessed MOI that would be correct. I'll post a pic of me in it once I get it. The insanity continues. =0)~

J.K. Livin'

Damn, Camila is a lucky girl!! Look at that face would you please! =0)

Spring Sports at their finest

Well J had her first spring league soccer game this past Saturday. The girls are really strong defensively but really need to work on their offense. The game ended in a tie 0-0 hence the work needed on ofense. I think we have a strong team and with a little work they can be great. (That's her...ponytail a flying' in the black shorts and blue & white striped shirt. #9) =0)

S's baseball is in full "swing" (pardon the pun). The Rockstars participated in a tournament this weekend and came in second. I didn't get to go but according to D they really could've won the whole thing but they made some really stupid mistakes in the finals that cost them the game. The pic to the left is of them after one of the wins (obviously). S just barely made it in the picture on the far right. =0)

"Apple Bottom Jean...Jeans...."

"...boots with the fur...with the fur." Ok, I'm a 'tard. But I am sooooo excited that I was able to get my very first pair of Apple Bottom Jeans and better yet... for 45% off. I can't wait (CAN'T WAIT, I TELL YOU) to wear them. Last year at this time I would not have been able to fit my big toe in a pair (even tho' I think they are supposed to be for exactly my body type.... chicks with a bit o' junk in the trunk. LOL). Anyways, that was my excitement this weekend. Also, J started her Spring League soccer season but I couldn't download the pics yet so you'll have to get a post about that tomorrow. =0)

Weight Watchers Rocks

Ok so it's been a looooooong time since I posted but I do have some awesome news. I started Weight Watchers back in September and so far I have lost 43 lbs. I had gotten RIDICULOUSLY FAT and was just miserable. I feel so much better about myself now. The really cool thing is that once people at work really started to notice, a lot of them got on the band wagon as well. I still have about 20 lbs to go to hit my goal and the loss has really started to slow down but I'm pluggin' along. I've gone down 6 sizes in clothes. Luckily I kept alot of my smaller clothes but even those are kinda big now. =0) A good problem to have I guess, but D is gonna kill me 'cause soon I will need to start buying new clothes. LOL. Anyways, I hope to keep up better (not making any promises) if only to update on my weight loss.

Tootles!!!
