HIL-LA-RY-US

This clip made me laugh soo much today! Tyra Banks gives Hillary clinton a piece of her mind. Ok, OK so it was clipped together, still hillarious nonetheless (Hil-la-ry-us!!!)

A bubble bath always clears my head and gives me a new perspective forlooking at things. I need to make time to reflect more often, It is quite seldom when I allow myself to reset my thoughts. I have an action plan and I like it :)

Creepy Game

My Musical Instruments

The progress of my guitar training has come to a screaching halt now that I've broken a string!

Earth-Hour Results

In Chicago, lights on more than 200 downtown buildings were dimmed Saturday night, including the stripe of white light around the top of the John Hancock Center. It was reported that red-and-white marquee outside Wrigley Field also went dark. I am unsure of the total impact resulted from yesterday's event. I do believe it was a good cause and am hopeful to have made a contribution in the quest to make a difference. AP reports: 'Earth Hour' in Ireland is being heralded as a success after analysis released by EirGrid shows a reduction in electricity use of about 1.5% yesterday evening.
I took advantage of the candlelit area of my home and snapped some pictures of the beauty of fire.

Happy Baby

If only something so simple could bring so much joy to my life...

Easter Fun With My Family

I had a nice weekend this Easter weekend. Today was filled with family fun. We started the day with attending an early morning mass followed by brunch, egg coloring and easter basket madness! I love experiencing things over again through my nephew's. They truly bring the joy into all the holidays.

Earth Hour - Turn off the lights

A Global Event on Climate Change
Earth Hour
MARCH 29, 2008
8:00-9:00 pm

Earth Hour is a WWF initiative to "turn off the lights" in 14 cities across 6 continents for one hour, starting at 8pm local time on March 29, 2008. In the U.S. it will be held in Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix and San Francisco.

Will pay full price now.

I drove to the bad side of the city for a possibility of purchasing a
keyboard at a great price. Craigslist usually doesn't diassapoint.
The church where I was supposed to meet this seller was closed. I
didn't wait much longer, knowing that there was not going to be a
place to test it out now. I think I am done trying to find a bargain
for this keyboard via craigslist.

Thoughts from a recent flight

I am on a plane on the way to va and as my usual luck will have it I
am sitting next to a squirmy-wormy person. This is supposed to be a
very short flight of only an hour and a half but after only thirty
minutes, I feel like i've been on this plane for three hours.

Back In The Day

Who would have imagined from this picture that the people then would be such politically influencial figures of American history - the former president of the U.S. and the first lady now a presidential candidate herself.

My New iPod

So I bought a new iPod this morning. I could not resist any longer and went out to get the new iTouch version of the iPod. Verdict: I LOVE IT!! I did debate for several minutes whether I was going to get the spacious 80GB or the sleek new 16GB. The smaller hipster won. I will be saying goodbuy to my little trusty napster mp3 player I've been using for years, apple just keeps improving their product and it's about time I converted.

Giving It A Chance

I started seeing "In Treatment" on HBO. I have no idea how long it has been running and have caught a few episodes out of sequence. The first episode intrigued me. I'm not sure if I will continue to see it for a long time. I am giving it a chance. The same I must admit I am trying with my relationships. I am currently gving it a chance. I find myself giving everything a chance right now. This is a very odd place to be in, not a common place for me. I've always been hopeful, but I knew the direction I was facing. I honestly find myself with limited control and that is the most difficult thing I have to deal with.

Charlie Playing In The Snow

The best part of the snow is seeing my dog have fun playing in the snow. Like any typical terrier he loves to dig, but since I don't let him dig holes in my lawn he knows digging through the snow is allowed and takes advantage of it whenever he can. This weekend was the perfect weekend for him. So much so that he kept barking for me to let him out to play. I was more than happy to oblige and take pictures in the mean time.

Happy Groundhog Day

Local News Channel headlines this morning..'Windy City Woodie' Predicts Early Spring!

CHICAGO -- "Windy City Woodie" did not see his shadow, meaning spring will come sooner, said Helen Schubert, spokeswoman for the Flower and Garden show.
...
The woodchuck came out of his home to nibble on the plants "for a snack," played on some nearby snow banks, and then went back inside without seeing his shadow, King said. If he had seen his shadow, he would have been frightened, and would have returned to his home to sleep through six more weeks of winter, according to King.

This is muic to my ears! I am frankly tired of all this snow pile-up and moreso shoveling all the accumulation to clearaway a walkway in my sidewalks. My favorite season is spring and the earlier it starts the sooner I will be happy.

Hiding Away

Chicago was hit with a major snow storm last night well into this morning's commute. I awoke this morning to my alarm always set to the news. After lihestening for a few minutes I was frightened. I turned on the TV for a visual and all the local media channels headlined with the weather and morning traffic mess. I contemplated heading in and potentially dealing with the mess myself. I let out my dog and got a look at the slushy pileup myself. I caved, I'm a chficken. I did not leave my home till 5pm when I eventually headed out to shovel my sidewalks. I'm getting tired of this snow. I tried not to complain, especially after receiving a picture from a friend who lives out west, where 3 feet of snow has accumulated.

American Eagle

I've been back from my trip to Utah for a week now and am somewhat surprised that I miss that snow. Chicago has had quite a few snow showers these past days, but the difference here is that the outdoor activities does not compare to what is available in Utah. I haven't had a chance to post all my vacation pictures yet, but I tool some time to atleast post four of the beginning ones. Pictured here is an american eagle, my first view of this iconic bird ever.

Well now that I finally shoveled the snow from my front pathway I better go clean up some space in my backyard. Like I said not just quite the same fun.
