When The Day Met The Night

OK I'm totally stealing this idea from the fabulous Jeremiah but this is my send off to poetry month.

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer

When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his life
In the middle of summer (summer)

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer (summer)
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
All was golden when the day met the night

So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time
I give you this smile?"

So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise
Not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."

Well he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around
Then he fell in love

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, summer, summer, summer
When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

Drinks and Desserts

I had another friend in town last weekend too! Jing came to visit for her mom's birthday so Saturday we headed out to Market Street for drinks and desserts. And while Market Street lacks in the amazingness of their chocolate martini their raspberry almond tart is to die for. I love catching up with Jing we always laugh like crazy and her stories are the best!

Real has its second home game of the season tomorrow and so far its still snowy/rainy/cold outside. Yikes. Lets hope we get some sunshine tomorrow!
Have a great weekend peeps!

Picnic At The Park

I am very happy to report that Derek came to visit! It was a beautiful day Saturday so Derek, Trixi, little fraggle, Kevin and I spent the afternoon picnicking at Liberty Park. It was so lovely! I miss Derek like crazy and wish he could of stayed longer, but it was good to have our Arttix trio out and about causing trouble again. Plus, it was time for Rowan to finally meet his Guncle!

Derek had to wear a pair of my old Channel sunglasses because he forgot his. Doesn't he look dashing?

So adorable. :)

This is my fave pic from the day Derek and Rowan's facial expressions kill me.

Tom...er...Blake?

This week I would like to spend my alone time with this fellow:

I think perhaps his name is Blake. I think he is beyond adorable. He is the Tom's shoes guy and I love him. He has great hair and a gorgous perfect tooth smile. and I feel like he is the type of guy that would build you a beach hut then spend the night serenading you on his guitar he built out of coconuts and banana leaves.

Whenever I see giant posters of him at the mall I always stop and swoon.

I just wish the shoes were cute.

Hey Soul Sister.

OK, I know I'm behind but, I went to the Train concert last Thursday! Yay!
I have loved Train ever since "Meet Virgina" came out way back in the high school days and Ramsey and I used to listen to it all the time. I've seen Train perform two other times, I even met the lead singer once, but this was probably the best Train concert I've been to. So much fun. Mayra and I started the evening at Squatters, (Yummy!) then decided to walk to the Gateway to buy warmer clothes because we were freezing. (Hence why we both ended up in gray Roxy hoodies) The concert was amazing (We ended up in the front row) and afterward we headed to Keys on Main for the after party. Where some random hot dudes decided they loved us. Yay for Earth day 2010!

PS Earth day marks the one year anniversary of me getting laid off from Strategic. I recently took a moment to reflect on how my life has drastically changed in the past year. Wowza.

In case you for got what creepy looks like:

Before:

After:


I'm SO excited to watch the new season of The Hills tonight and watch this crazy bitch's face not move. Tonight's gonna be a good good night...

Happy Earth Day!

Maybe if we treat her better she will stop throwing tantrums and bringing down entire cities. Just an idea...

I'd like to spend some alone time with...

For this weeks edition of ILTSSATW I give you Kenny Santucci, star of MTV's RW/RR Challenges. OK, so he is kind of douch, be he is also funny and totally hot. Done and done. Yum. There is a reason why they call him Mr Beautiful. He is the best thing to ever come out of Jersey next to Bon Jovi and Chelsea Handler. And I swear to God, if Wes gets him kicked off Fresh Meat 2, I will find Wes and punch him in his ugly face. Thank you.

Louie!

I'm not going to lie. I have been sorta, kinda, completely stalking Olympic snowboarder Louie Vitto since I started following him on Twitter during the Olympics and realized he lives in SLC. I thought he was adorable on Dancing With The Stars. So imagine my TOTAL surprise when I was rolling up to the REAL game Saturday and saw a bunch of peeps sitting at tables signing autographs. Who are these peeps I wondered to myself and strolled on over calmly, until, I looked to the head of the table and saw Mr. Louie Vitto! This prompted me to yell! "OMG its Louie Vitto!!! Mom! Mom! Its Louie Vitto! That snowboarder I follow on Twitter and have been trying to find everywhere!" Like full volume. Smooth and calm is just how I roll. I immediately rushed to the table and got in line where, I was flipping out trying to find the camera. When I met him, since I'm so amazingly charming, one of the first sentences out of my mouth was: "I follow you on Twitter!" Yep. I'm just that cool. Please note this was made more weird by the random man behind me in line saying: "What, you're not going to kiss her?" Thanks Sir. Louie's response "I don't want to scare her away!" Wah wah. He is an awesome snowboarder and I totally adore him. I think he is so cute, despite how dirty he looks. I may be a little in love.

I'll be there for you...

Jenny had some spare time.

Turquoise

Last Monday I spent the afternoon with my favorite baby mama, Fraggle, and my good friend Shadna. We spent the afternoon introducing Fraggle to Jason Mraz, offensive novelty rap, and Michael Jackson. I also streaked Trixi's hair turquoise.

Because, she is on maternity leave and can do such things. :) We considered doing Rowan's, but then decided he didn't have enough hair. I can think of few better ways to spend an afternoon.
I love this little dude so much. I feel he will appear frequently on the blog, so get ready peeps.

Cut my hair.

I cut my hair off. Its way shorter now. With the new cut/color I feel like I look a little like Charlotte York. So that's new. I'll post pics later. This was an interesting weekend. Oy Ve. I cannot even begin to touch upon its events in this blog. In good news I bought myself a new purse.

I have wanted this purse forever. it was originally $399.00 I saw it at the Nordys Rack a few months back and it was $199.00 This is still to much. But yesterday I went and it was additional money off!!! Making it $119.00 after tax!!! And its not leather!! I took this as a blatant sign from the universe was giving me and bought it. I think it has to mean things are going to get better. And those of you that think I shouldn't of spend $119.00 on a purse can shut it. This is the first good thing to happen to me in a long while. I plan to use this object to fill the void left in my heart. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend.
PS My purse and I are very happy together.

Blah.

I am NOT having a good week. Nope. Not at all. Things just keep getting worse and worse. I gotta catch a break somehow. Its all been downhill since Sunday. I don't think I've had a good night sleep one night this week.
The one piece of joy in my heart is this little fraggle. I love him so much. He is a total dream come true and I cherish every moment I get to have with him.

Trixi has been my dear friend for years, and I am so thankful that her and Kevin have let me be a part in little Rowan's life

Here is a picture of the new hair color.

I finally have enough money to get it cut Saturday, so that's happening. After this weeks events though, I couldn't care less. Oh and RSL 's first home game is next Saturday. And...nope, I'm not really even excited for that either. I love my friends. They are amazing. So many of them have rallayed this week to providing support. Especially today. Thanks guys. It doesn't go unnoticed. I promise. I'm so desperate for things to get better I went out and bought a lucky charm stone thing that according to a book I own will help things get better. Heres to hoping.

I dyed my hair

We are calling the new color "Nervous Breakdown Brown". I will post pics soon.
PS. Yesterday I got in a fight with a cop. I don't like cops. It felt good to yell at one.
P.P.S. The wind is blowing so bad right now I feel like my office is going to rip off the building and I will end up in OZ surrounded by Little People.
P.P.S.S. Also if yopu are the type of person that steals someones Iphone you are a total douchbag. And if you stole one from Simply Sushi last Sunday, you should return it. Have a plesent Tuesday.

This ones perfect! (And its just my size!)

Miss Mayra and I headed down to the Capital Theatre this week to see Legally Blonde the musical and I totally loved it! The cast was great! I just hated the group of girls behind us eating chips, opening sodas and talking full volume. And the girl in front of me that kept texting. WTF. Oh and don't forget the group that asked us to trade them seats. Why Mayra and I buy seats to anything I'll never know. haha
All in all we had a great time and i was so happy finally get to see the show live! I'm seeing it with my mom tomorrow, then its off to watch the first RSL game! Yikes! Good luck boys!

Health

I have pretty much said nothing but I can't remain quite anymore. I am happy about the Health Care bill. More then happy. I think it's important. I think it's a good step. I want everyone to be able to see a doctor when they want/need. That should be a basic right. I would much rather my tax dollars be spent to help someone who is sick rather then kill someone in a foreign country. I am proud of our country's leaders and very proud of our President. Since Obama has been in office, I finally understand what its like to be patriotic. I feel a sense of pride for my country that I've never felt before. I am 27 years old. I have had taxes taken out of my pay check. I am a tax paying citizen. I am also very broke. I am a hard worker. I want to better myself and this country. I would love to have a job that allows me insurance. Right now that isn't an option. Everyday I fear that if I get hurt or sick there will be NOTHING I can do about it because, I simply don't have the money to go to a doctor. I am so overjoyed this bill passed. I am so pleased that beautiful little baby Rowan and every child born after him will grow up in a world where they don't have to be scared about getting the help they need if they get sick. So Thank you Mr President. From the bottom of my heart.

To My Fellow Citizens, the Republicans:

Thanks to last night's vote, that child of yours who has had asthma since birth will now be covered after suffering for her first nine years as an American child with a pre-existing condition.

Thanks to last night's vote, that 23-year-old of yours who will be hit one day by a drunk driver and spend six months recovering in the hospital will now not go bankrupt because you will be able to keep him on your insurance policy.

Thanks to last night's vote, after your cancer returns for the third time -- racking up another $200,000 in costs to keep you alive -- your insurance company will have to commit a criminal act if they even think of dropping you from their rolls.

Yes, my Republican friends, even though you have opposed this health care bill, we've made sure it is going to cover you, too, in your time of need. I know you're upset right now. I know you probably think that if you did get wiped out by an illness, or thrown out of your home because of a medical bankruptcy, that you would somehow pull yourself up by your bootstraps and survive. I know that's a comforting story to tell yourself, and if John Wayne were still alive I'm sure he could make that into a movie for you.

But the reality is that these health insurance companies have only one mission: To take as much money from you as they can -- and then work like demons to deny you whatever coverage and help they can should you get sick.

So, when you find yourself suddenly broadsided by a life-threatening illness someday, perhaps you'll thank those pinko-socialist, Canadian-loving Democrats and independents for what they did Sunday evening.

If it's any consolation, the thieves who run the health insurance companies will still get to deny coverage to adults with pre-existing conditions for the next four years. They'll also get to cap an individual's annual health care reimbursements for the next four years. And if they break the pre-existing ban that was passed last night, they'll only be fined $100 a day! And, the best part? The law will require all citizens who aren't poor or old to write a check to a private insurance company. It's truly a banner day for these corporations.

So don't feel too bad. We're a long way from universal health care. Over 15 million Americans will still be uncovered -- and that means about 15,000 will still lose their lives each year because they won't be able to afford to see a doctor or get an operation. But another 30,000 will live. I hope that's OK with you.

If you don't mind, we're now going to get busy trying to improve upon this bill so that all Americans are covered and so the grubby health insurance companies will be put out of business -- because when it comes to helping the sick, no one should ever be allowed to ask the question, "How much money can we save by making this poor bastard suffer?"

Please, my Republican friends, if you can, take a quiet moment away from your AM radio and cable news network this morning and be happy for your country. We're doing better. And we're doing it for you, too.

Yours,
Michael Moore

Remember this?
2 years later and it still brings me to tears.

Pigeon.

O Pigeon My Pigeon

O pigeon my pigeon,
I watch you fly so nice then land,
Flying through the air you are so neat and grand.
Some people call you rats with wings,
But I think you more queens and kings.
Your feathers are a lovely shade,
you are surely heaven made.
You fly so swiftly through the sky,
You are so lovely my oh my!
You like to be in Union Square,
and I like to feed you there.
Your little beaks peck for the food,
Oh I hope it tastes so good.
So dear pigeon it is true,
I will love no bird but you.

I wrote that beautiful piece of literature my senior year of High School.

PS Brian, they are watching you....

Fan

Some things I am a fan of this week:

MLS season starting!

Hooray! No strike! that means soccer starts this week! First Seitzy's game on Thursday them the first REAL game of the season! Even though its an away game I'm still SUPER excited! Remember that time we won MLS cup? Awesome.
Springtime!

Springtime is springing and I am loving it. Please note when I googled Springtime this painting came up. And they look pretty excited for spring don't they?

Blah Blah Blah
I am a fan of the Ke$ha album but especially the song "Blah Blah Blah" Its like an offensive novelty rap song written by a white girl. I love it. I epically like the line: "Don't be a little bitch with your chit chat Just show me where your dick's at" totally offensive. I love it

Some things I'm not a fan of this week?
Earache

I seem to have developed and earache in the past 24 hours and it is also causing a headache. Not cool

The stupid telephone music video

I wasted another 9 1/2 mins of my life last night giving this music video another chance. Nope. still totally hate it. My mom wasted her time too this round, and she thinks its totally degrading to women. I feel I have to agree. Why is she naked most of the video. Why? Its not like a have a problem with nakedness or am even a prude. (please note lyric posted above.)I'm just getting tired of seeing her naked and the videos having nothing to do with the songs. New idea please. I think Lady Gaga is phenomenally talented and I love her voice. But her videos make me cringe. And I don't like to cringe.

Jesse James and his repulsive whore

I love Sandra. The Blind Side was fantastic (note she remained clothed the whole movie. Just putting that out there...) I am absolutely disgusted by James James and that gross slut he cheated with. That girl is vial. I hate them both and refuse to put a pic of them on my blog.

Fin.

It's a boy!

My last post was a fail. I certainly had news! My amazing friends Trixi and Kevin finally had their little baby Monday March 15!

Rowan Dante Emerson is 8 pounds 5 oz and 21 inches long. He has huge hands and feet and super long legs. I finally met him on Friday and I am totally crazy about him.

I can not wait for him to get older so we can watch Fraggle Rock together. I also promised him I would take him to meet a real lamb. Trixi is a super woman. 4 days in labor and an emergency c-section, with plenty of drama. He was also 17 days late! I told him not to worry about being late because I am late to everything. But now little Rowan is here and absolutely perfect. He is so new to this world and I am so thankful that I got to be a part of his life just 4 days in!

PS I knew it was a boy all along! :)

Kinda slow right now...

Bonjour. I started my new temp job at the census this week and so far its going swimmingly. I'm a little nervous to juggle that, school, and my district job but I will figure out a way to manage. The past few days have been totally beautiful weather here and I am loving it. I'm excited for it to get a bit warmer so I can start wearing summer dresses and sandals again. Really, I guess I don't have anything that exciting to say. Lets think...I bought some clothes at the Nordys yesterday (triple points! Yee haw!).... I had to go to the Latino mall Mon and it turns out they have totally delish ice cream... I'm planning to dye my hair again with upgraded dye this time... I think Mayra is going to make me watch that awful looking love story movie with the pale dude from Twilight and the chci from Lost ( I know their names but I'm to tired to goole how to spell them.)Yeah really that's all I got. Hopefully things will pick up by next week. Sorry team. Please enjoy this adorable picture of squirrels.
