Yes, Halloween is my Mother’s Birthday!

It was also my Grandmother’s birthday (dad’s mom) so happy birthday to her too, god rest her wicked soul.

So Happy Birthday Mom! I hope you have many more!

I go through the state program for my daughter’s health insurance. Here in California it is called Healthy Families. Being self employed I have no insurance for myself, so given the fact that my income isn’t that much (yet x;) ) I qualify for Healthy Families for my daughter.

So with all this hub bub about children’s insurance in the news I didn’t realize it was going to affect us. I mean HELLO MCFLY. Can you believe how dumb I was not to realized they were talking about US? So when I finally connected the dots I got stressed out and frustrated.

Bush says he vetoed the bill because people that can afford insurance or recieve benefits would still be able to qualify… wtf? Why the hell would that happen? Why would they write a bill that would let RICH PEOPLE get state insurance for their kids. Either the president is an idiot (I know, I know… he IS an idiot) or The bill sucked and someone felt sorry for the rich kids too. I’m sorry I don’t feel sorry for rich kids (Lindsay and Britney I’m talking to you… you are also still kids until you grow the EFF up).

Why do the kids that need this kind of stuff the most get screwed? This bill doesn’t pass… kids with money STILL get insurance, but mine doesn’t… I guess that would then become my fault right?

So as of November my child has no insurance. Thank you Mr. President for funding that dumb ass war of yours in two days and keeping the money from the kids.

Ok, any one who knows me knows I am not religious. And If you know me good you know I am fascinated by all religions. I am fascinated at the fact that they all believe in something, but no one is really sure if its there.

Anyway they put a mega pixel picture of the Last Supper online. Even if you aren’t a Christian you probably appreciate Leonardo Da Vinci in some way. Anyway here is the link…

Now I don’t remember when this played during the week. I don’t remember if it was saturday morning or after school… Let me know if you remember… or hell, tell me if you even remember the show.

You know what… it wasn’t even a cartoon…

Anyway it was a great show nonetheless.

The Great Space Coaster Intro

enjoy.

Today was my daughter’s 10th birthday. I was 21 when I had her. We have grown up a lot together. It might sound cliche, but it really seems like only yesterday she was a little baby girl.

We went to Build-a-Bear Workshop today then to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream. We brought along 3 of her friends, plus her uncle and grandmother came. Yes, her birthday was at the mall (hence the hot dog on a stick backdrop). It wasn’t even our local mall, we had to drive 45 minutes (including picking up other girls in another town).

Happy Birthday My Love (with her new Hannah Montana bedspread courtesy of Uncle Pete, he’s hiding behind the Hannah Montana bedspread).

Will You See It?

So on Monday I started my work out again. After not working out since the end of June. When I got my new job I was constantly on the go and so tired from being out in the summer heat that I didn’t have the energy to work out. So I haven’t. But now I am sitting TOO MUCH. Doing work and homework sitting in this chair for too long is making me gain some extra weight back. I currently only wanna lose about 15 pounds.

ANYWAY… I have taken up Tae Bo again. I have the original tapes, but soon hope to graduate to a more modern Billy Blanks DVD. I have decided to do this because I believe it is less noisier than my treadmill for the people downstairs. Plus the treadmil is on the fritz. The motor is overheating, but I did get A LOT of miles out of it and I’m probably healthy because of it. So I have been doing Tae Bo and Windsor Pilates for a good all around work out.

I have been staying in my calorie range with the exception of yesterday. I ate too much. But I’m not worried about it. I have learned that I do that once in awhile to stay sane while rearranging my eating habits.
