abandoned

Ok.. so I abandoned this place for almost a year, and the reason is because I'm a retard...(no offense to those mentally handicapped people or those who may know some) I was cleaning out my google- picasa and .. little did i know.. that when you delete things you don't need..or think you don't need anymore, because you already used them in your blog.. that the pics in your blog delete as well.. Did anyone know this? I should've realised.. I just .. don't think of terms of everything.. gmail, blogspot, picasa as being all THAT connected.. apparently.. they are.. =/. I loved looking at my little online scrapbook of my trips, and now its gone, and i don't have the patience or energy to go back and post the pics.. argh.. Even my border/headline/ thingamajig is gone..
So.. yeah.. hopefully I can at least talk someone into fixing that (Diane.. whom i think may have abandoned her blog as well) for me.. so I can post.. re post..
I was reading some other girls blog, and shes so cute and funny.. that it made me want to post again.. So.. hopefully.. I will find a way to get back into the swing of things..

Earthquake

So, there was a earthquake yesterday..
and because there is some construction going on next door, it took a few seconds for me to grasp what was happening.. Earthquakes don't scare me.. but this one just seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger.. and so here are a few thoughts that ran through my mind..in order

1. fucken construction...
2. wait.. its still happening.. its not construction
3. Earthquaaaake
4. its getting bigger.. and bigger
5. run to the doorway
6. is this the BIG one?
7. when did you ever see a doorway still standing in a building that collapsed?
8.THIS is NOT the place i want to die..
10. its still going???
11. I wonder if we all get to take the rest of the day off
12. yeah fucken right.. like they would let us leave..
13. My sister must be freaking out right now
14. its still fucking going?
15. is it still moving or is my equilibrium off?
16. I have to call my sister and mom
17. is it over?
18. do i look like a idiot standing in the hallway?
19. should I go outside or back to my desk?
20. wheres my cell phone?
21. call your sister

So i tried and all cell phones were down.. took a while to get through to anyone.. Diane texted me and that came through.. she asked if i was ok.. then we talked on gchat for bit.. she was sooo worried, it was cute!
So I finally got in touch w/ my sister.. and she said she was doing her earthquake dance..
she does this thing where she runs in place so she doesn't feel the earth move.. its sad and cute at the same time..

Nutrition By Natalie

Ok.. so this past weekend, I was bored.. and a little frustrated w/ my diet. So I youtubed nutrition and found this "nutrition by Natalie" chick.. I watched her videos most of Sunday, and learned so much.. You know.. you think you're somewhat on the right track because you don't eat fast food.. and you monitor your caloric and fat intake.. come to find out that is NOT enough.. not even close.
Apparently.. an Organic diet is the best.. which I have thought about doing, but I don't think I ever fully committed like I will now. How much sugar I take in is all wrong, even though I don't drink soda, and have like a sip of diet every so often.. My cereal has about the recommended dosage of refined sugar I should be eating in a day.. plus the "healthy" pudding snacks.. that come to find out w/ all that sugar is not so healthy.. Just the amount of sugar in flavored yogurt a lone is sickening.. SO now I have to completely change the way I eat again.. She has a few morning shake recipes.. that I want to try.. and they will be probably the healthiest thing my body has ever had.. may send it into shock.. Anyways.. if you're at all interested in nutrition.. I recommend her.. She simplifies it a lot.. and it just makes sense..
I also made fauxtatos this weekend.. which is cauliflower blended w/ skim milk and a little bit of butter.. they were delish! I think it would be extremly easy for me to always substitute that for potatoes..

Cool pic of a firework I took on the 4th

De-freakin-lish!

these things are so damn good.. only 100 cal... 5 grams of fat..

Pictures Of Deformed babies

Everyday when I go to work, I pass a disturbing billboard..
Its a picture of a baby with a harelip.
Now, I am a squeemish person, and I understand that this deformity happens,
and I almost willing to donate a substantial amount of money if the people running the orginization would take billboards/posters down, however is there a better way to get money then to make someone like me who gets queezy over any kinda blood or deformity feel that way right before work?
This post may come off as shallow, but just because I am squeemish and queezy over blood or deformities does not make me a shallow person.. I understand that this cause needs money. But can you maybe do that with out a 33 x 22 poster in my face? Please!

The best thing.. EVER!

FAT FREE NO PUDGE BROWNIES!!
THEY ARE THE BEST THING EVER!!
you just add vanilla fat free yogurt...
they're 120 calories a serving, and 0 grams of fat..
and they taste JUST LIKE brownies.. they're amazing!! I don't understand why anyone would buy regular fattening brownie mix anymore when you can have the same exact taste and cut the calories and have NO fat grams..
i first found them at Trader Joes, and then they were in the organic section of my Alberstons Grocery store which kinda shocked me, because that store barely has anything I want..
They are AMAZING!!
