Ain't Nothing Like Randomness

Where to begin . . . sometimes you just have to stop and laugh at some moments (another way of stopping and smelling the roses) like the other day, we were watching Armageddon, one of my most favorite movies :-)  and my youngest daughter proceeded to inquire about NASA. "is there more than one??" Me, "yes, the shuttle usually takes off from one site, usually Florida, is tracked by Mission Control in Houston, and where it lands depends on what window they are attempting to meet, and that might just be in California."  And with total innocence and suprise said "Ohhhh! so THAT's why they say "Houston we have a problem"" Honestly, I couldn't move or utter a sound, I could only stare and had this frozen raised eyebrow thing going on.  Then I would say 10 seconds had gone by and then the laughter took me over! She grins and says "Mom! I didn't know!!"  Okay, we only watch this movie EVERY time it comes on - I know most of the dialogue and could utter just about every word in my sleep (yes - pitiful I know)  It might have been one of those "you had to be there" moments, but moments worth savoring. 

Hopefully, as I get into those really golden years, it's times like those I won't forget and can dwell on those, especially when everything else is gone - hair, health, teeth, men, friends, etc. LOL  

I'm sure my child will appreciate me blogging this, oh well - they always get over it :-)  She knows her quirks (AKA blonde moments) keep me going :-)

Getting back to it

It's been awhile since I blogged last - I've been consumed with Mi Vida Loca and believe me if I didn't have to sleep I wouldn't - I have been cutting into my sleep time for purely selfish reasons, doing what I want to do - LOL even if I have to rewind the DVD to watch the same 30 minute segments I fell asleep in at least 4 times LOL!!  The holidays are rapidly approaching and I almost cringe knowing how hectic things become for my business.  Believe me, parties = crazy women insane about having their nails done for every party - "but ma'am, I just did your nails 23 hours ago -  I know but they HAVE to be fresh for THIS party!!!" of course with this crazed look in their eyes :-) 

Don't get me wrong - it is wonderful to be in hot demand by so many but after awhile I am ready to crawl under a rock,  a rock in Cancun would be even better!   I operate solely on the fact that sometime in the near future the FAT lady willl sing and my ship will come in! If it parks in my lap - I wouldn't complain - I need a vacation!!!! 

I was running the other day and had a total meltdown with my ipod - I love gadgets and electronics - but let me tell you how insane crazy I can get when they freeze up or don't do what I expect them to do . . . I'll put it this way, the first mile I had music (which makes running bearable) the next 3 miles was fueled by complete anger and frustration.  Needless to say, after I picked my daughter up from school, I had to pay a visit to the Apple store.  The sales guy kept going on about trading in my old ipod and I was trying to evade the whole trade in thing he kept pushing by saying "Listen! I don't have it, it will never make it in here so get off it! you would'nt even recognize it as an Ipod!!" Okay???  all he could say was "Yes Ma'am" with this total shock in his eyes as if I committed murder or something! LOL!!!  Within in minutes I was walking out with the cadillac of ipods - the itouch :-)   I know my daughter is a mac freak and she wants to make me one too, but I will take alot longer to sway over to "the other side" :-)   This is a good start though.   Oh well, good to be back blasting my thoughts out on the keyboard - tune in next time - more drama - even more crazy.......
