Crushed

I am crushed. I am still getting over the shock of it all really. I just can't believe it. For those of you who know me from childhood, know that Michael Jackson, was, and still is- my hero in so many ways. My heart is broken.

My phone rang off the hook the day Michael died. It was like everyone called me first thing when they found out because they knew it would be hard on me. I am just so incredibly bummed out. Couldn't he have had the chance to do at least 1 London concert to remind the world why everyone fell in love with him in the first place? This was his chance, to prove to the world how incredibly talented he always has been.

Yet he has spent the last 15 years hiding in the shadows because people have painted him out to be this horrible monster. I don't know, but I think I may go a little cooky if the world turned their back on me after being loved by so many for so long.
I just can't believe he would harm someone. Not after all he did for the world. It just doesn't make sense to me and I never believed it.

What I'm still scratching my head over is how odd it is to me that the world is celebrating him now. You know. What about all the other years they made his life a living hell, but now they celebrate him when he isn't here to see how much support he really had? This whole thing just doesn't sit right with me. I am just so bothered by it all.

Mostly I am so bummed that I never got my chance to see him perform. It was my dream from when I was a little girl. I took so much flack for it growing up! People would tease me big time for liking him, but I always stood my ground and was proud! He was just way too cool. :(

Butter Knife

Ok this was too stinken cute not to blog about.

On Saturday Nick was fixing something for Kayden and asked Ambria if she would please get him a butter knife. She agreed and headed for the kitchen. As the minutes passed we started wondering what was taking her so long.

Nick called down the hall to her and asked "Ambria did you forget about my butter knife?" Ambria replies "No daddy, I'm coming hold on."

As she rounded the corner into the bedroom we burst out into laughter! She couldn't figure out what was so funny. In her hand she held a butter knife that she had so carefully dipped into the tub of butter in the fridge!

Looking confused she asks What daddy, didn't you asked me for a buttered knife?". We just smiled.

World's Shortest Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?' The girl said, 'NO!' And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

The End

Black Eyed Peas

We bought the new Black Eyed Peas CD this week!

I am in love with it! Ever since I heard "Boom Boom Pow" on the radio I have been so stoked for it to come out. They have always had such a fun, funky style, totally different then anybody in the industry. So I'm always excited to hear what they'll do next. But now that they have moved into the electronic genre, I am totally diggin it! I am in my element friends - all this great music coming out lately..I don't know what to do with myself. I think it's time to go dancing! PARTY!

If you haven't heard it, go buy it! It's fantabulous!

Ode' to Ga Ga

Alright, admit it, you either LOVE HER or HATE HER!

She is definately the newest controversy in the music industry with her crazy fashion, unusual song lyrics and outspoken attitude.

The first time I heard her song "Just Dance" I loved the song, but I wasn't so sure when I saw her perform. My initial reaction was, wow, she is odd!

Lately she has really started to grow on me. I must say not only do I love her music, but I like her style and how real she is. She considers herself a "free spirit" and she is very blunt and honest. I agree she is pretty "out there" at times, but all in all I think she's a pretty cool chick.

Cleanse....

Ok wow. Sunday we started the cleanse. Day 1 and two are just fruits and veggies. No salt, no butter, no sugar. Day 1, piece of cake. Wanted to eat other stuff, but I made it. Day 2, yesterday, got harder. I started feeling dizzy and weak, and by the end of the day I was done.

We went to Olive Garden on the way home. Usually I love their salad, totally adore it. I didn't want it! Give me the breadsticks, pass on the salad! Wow. That has to be the hardest thing I have done. You don't realize how much food is a comfort. Ya know? You eat, feel good, and that full feeling just doesn't come with fruit. You never feel satisfied.

I talked to my GF Kristi, and she told me that doing it that way it too hard. She said just the 3 days of liquid are way easier. So we are going to try that sometime next month before we go on vacation to Virginia. Wow. I did not like that one bit.
