12:30 Dance Party
A few weeks ago I started 12:30 Dance Party! It goes along with my New Years Resolution to keep stress and worry at a distance. How so you might ask? Well every day around 12:30 I turn on a song with a good dance beat, loud enough for the Community Team to hear and we get up and move! We have fun, and we laugh at ourselves. While this doesn’t take away whatever might be going on that is causing stress and worry it gives us a chance to take a break from it. It’s a two to three minute vacation, a time to get our heart rate up, a time to smile and just be happy we are alive.
Now I have to admit I only have 2 strong supporters, Amnerys and Zatozia get up from their chairs and rock out with me every day. Isulith and Danicia pretend to complain, Piestro closes his door, and if Brasse is in the area she runs away as quickly as possible. However I will not give up unless the boss lady tells me to or HR gets involved LOL.
So I am looking for suggestions, give me ideas on new songs, and I would love for you to join us! Institute 12:30 Dance Party in your work place, in your homes, EVERYWHERE! Get up, get moving, have fun, you won’t regret it
A Time of Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving
This week is a time of thanks, on Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for, I have a great marriage, two healthy daughters, a job I love, a home to live in, family and friends that love me, the list just goes on and on. Let’s not forget video games! I work for a company that makes them! My family plays SOE’s games, my two daughters play Free Realms like crazy. In fact during their Thanksgiving break they are spending a good chunk of their time playing Free Realms. My youngest is totally jazzed that she received this guy over the weekend from the new TCG expansion Baron Von Darkcheat.

I took a vacation last week, I didn’t go anywhere or make any plans so I guess I should say I took a staycation last week. I haven’t taken more then 2 days off at once in a long time, I came back to work on Monday feeling revived, refreshed and ready to face anything. I truly have one of the best jobs in the world.
Anyway I wanted to talk about what a wonderful time I had…

On October 16th I went on a journey with my best friend in the whole world. I woke up really early and picked her up at 6 in the morning! We drove to Temecula, which is about 40 minutes from her house and joined TONS of people to fun a 5K. We also met another friend of ours there as well.
We picked up our T-Shirts and our scarves from the Ford booth. In the picture below I am wearing last year’s scarf around my head. One of the booths had whoopee cushions; my kids loved that LOL….
This is us before we ran the 5K: From the left, Monica, Mary and Me.
Autumn 2011

Autumn 2011
autumn [aw-tuhm] noun 1. the season between summer and winter; fall. In the Northern Hemisphere it is from the September equinox to the December solstice; in the Southern Hemisphere it is from the March equinox to the June solstice.
Officially the first day of Autumn, or as some say Fall, was on Friday September 23, 2011. Now if you live here in Southern California we really don’t get Fall weather. It’s sort of an extension of Summer, just slightly windier and more chance of fire. A new change this year is that Fall is CRAZY BUSY! Since September started I feel like I can’t catch my breath at work or at home. At home it’s a school project here, a paper to sign there, the dog needs shots, doctors appointments and a list of other things. At work it’s the usually suspects but hyped up on espresso or something.
I was wondering what Fall means to you? For me, it’s Halloween. pumpkin carving, trick-or-treat, and hot apple cider. I would love to hear what it means to you.
Here is a cute picture I found on Flickr.

Our New Puppy

What is cute, cuddly and loves you unconditionally? A puppy!! My five year has been asking for a pet for over a year now. We’ve tried sharing pets, and getting her a cat, neither of those solutions worked out for our family. So we sort of put it on the back burner and decided that when the right pet comes along it will happen for her.

First Day of School
Monday marked the begining of an era… Okay I am being overly dramatic… My little one started Kindergarten. It is sort of a shock to my system. I mean I know she’s been growing up, I was at her fifth birthday party. But the first day of big kid school, REALLY? I called her after school and she said she had a good day. She made a friend and she likes her teacher.

My friends and co-workers have stumbled upon a fun Facebook application called turntable.fm. Let me explain how it works, five people can DJ at a time. They create playlists and those songs play when it’s their turn. Anyone else who enters the room can only listen and either vote “Lame,” or “Awesome,” on the songs being played.

I have a confession to make…
I am in love. I stay up late so I can spend time with my love. I give my free time to my love. I can’t stop thinking about my love. I think I have a problem…
