I just need to say one thing that wont be so cheerful...You know when someone tailgates you while driving or Honks when you abruptly stop because the vehicle in front of you did the same? Or maybe Both occurrences happen? First off I would like to say:

"Listen Rude Honker, it is not on my daily agenda to stop fast just to piss you off! Despite what you may think, that the world and everyone in it revolves around YOU!  However, it is my duty to drive responsibly, especially while my children are in my vehicle AND if someone in front of me stops abruptly causing me to do the same to prevent from getting my head stuck in their ass well I am going to do just that!"

ALSO

"Are you really in that much of a rush that you have to HONK me just 1...literally, 1 second after the light turns green?"

AND

"As for you sweet tailgater. If you find it so necessary to invade my space and ride my ass. The least you could do is throw a tip my way! I mean you aren't really asking permission to ride my ass, you are just taking it upon yourself to do so, and let me tell you, now a days, NOTHING is for free!"


Oh I feel so much better! Moving Along.

 No, I wasn't depressed...just playing around with the camera and editing options while wearing my face mask

Have you ever had hopes/dreams/interests or all of the mentioned that you really wanted to accomplish in your life? When you finally get around to or in my case muster up the courage to begin, you realize that all of these doors and windows are opening. You are meeting tons of like minded people. You are suddenly aware of things in relation to your dream/hope/interest that you never realized before. All of a sudden you realize that so many people are into the same thing that you have been interested in for years. It may seem that you are jumping on the tails of someone else's journey, (especially to other, usually closed minded people), but the truth is you may actually, finally, be just where you should be in life. Similar to a Deja Vu moment, you are suddenly aware of all of the things associated with your dream/hope/interest. You are open and receptive to like minded people. You are learning from people who have been doing, accomplishing, or interested in the same for far longer than you. I feel when all of this happens it is the Universe confirming that you are indeed on the right track. It is like little puzzle pieces fitting together. A little nudge of reassurance from the Universe to let you know that you are on track and all is how it should be. It all of a sudden makes sense. It all of a sudden feels right. I feel this can happen with anything in your life. A career change, hobby, interest, hope, dream, person etc. When you are not on your right path things are hazy, blurred and a fog is placed in front of you, making it difficult to see the right path, or meet the right people etc. However, when you finally take the plunge and follow your heart regardless of what anyone believes, thinks, or feels...other than you. Well, you suddenly are awoken and can see the right path, meet the right people, head in the direction that is right for you.

Just a narcissistic over exposed photo my hubby took of me many years ago.

It has taken me far too long to reach this point in my Life but I have finally gotten here and it feels Marvelous! I spent far too long in a haze and blur and right now the only blur in my life I will be receptive to is the Blurred Lines song by Robin Thicke. What can I say, it is pretty catchy.


Speaking of which! On my way to Yoga one night awhile back I was listening on the radio and this song came on. I started bopping my head, then after a few verses singing along, really jamming out before my head caught up with the actual lyrics,
"Bubble Yum Bum Buram Bum Budum" It was in that moment that I realized 2 things:
  
1) Flo Rida and Pitbull really like butts

2) What simple, silly and funny lyrics....I mean how many of us chewed bubble yum?? 

So essentially, were you chewing big butt cheeks, or are big butt cheeks chewy like bubble yum? Wait. No. Butts are big like bubbles that you can make from chewed up Bubble Yum. So then all of this "butt" association with my past time childhood memories of chewing Bubble Yum gum started to scramble my good memories. Now I can not associate anything else with Bubble Yum Gum without first associating........... BUTTS! Gone are my fond memories of that yummy, chewy, sugary, Bubble Yum. Now those memories are replaced by Pitbull and Flo rida singing their hit about Big Butts! 

(A song I did sing Karaoke style...with my mom...when I was oh 10 or 11. Yes. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix A Lot)
 

Okay. Not my mother and I singing karaoke, but my Mother-in-law and I back in 2005 - Close enough.
