Birthday Fun

I am another year older today. I really do have a problem with aging.  I still look young and feel young, but I just hate getting a higher number for my age each year.  Aside from the age thing I had a great day.  It started out with people wishing me a Happy Birthday and then I made myself look all cute and left to go to lunch with some friends.  When I got out to my car and realize some people have attacked my car with window paint and filled my car with balloons.

They must have had inside help and I had no clue till I was running late for lunch.  I ran back inside to get a pin to pop the balloons in the front seat and did a quick job so I could drive to a car wash.  So glad my friends took the pictures while doing it because it didn't look this pretty for me.  It was a damp night and the paint just bleed off the car and the words were not visible. I drove to the car wash down the street.  Paid big bucks to drive through it and realized when the wax coat was being applied the paint had not been washed off at all.  I called my friends to say I would be later for lunch and tried to figure out what to do.  I called the number listed on the wall and talked to some kid who told me I needed to wash my car by hand to get the stuff off.  He said he would put in his code to wash it with the brush...I scrubbed and scrubbed and there is still paint on my car.  Who would have thought?...not me.  Just glad they had fun doing it and it was fun to see these pictures.
Because I was being taken out to dinner from my mom some of my best friends made me lunch and had a really cute cake made for me too.

Brooke did a great job with the cake for sure.  It was super yummy too.  These girls are just awesome.  They all have boys and they were running around the house and yard.  The funniest part was when Sydney's son all of the sudden was naked in the backyard and I jokingly said he was pooping and started to laugh because I thought I was tricking her.  She ran outside and turns out there was a pile of human poop on the ground.  ha ha ha...poor girl had to pick it up like I would pick up my dogs poo on a hike.  It's so funny to watch these girls as mothers.  Someday it will be me when all their kids are grown and they can laugh at me like I do at them, but for now...I'm glad i don't have to pick up my kids poop.
After lunch they gave me presents.  Who doesn't enjoy presents?  The one good thing about turning old is you get presents!  Yeah!!!  One of my presents included going to the spa an hour later for sitting in a dry sauna and a foot bath where you get toxins taken out of you.  I've done the foot bath before and it really is gross to see what comes out...as you'll see in the photos.  Just know the water starts off clear.  I wish I would have known I was about to sweat it out because I wouldn't have tried to look so cute for lunch.  All turned out well though and I really enjoyed time with my friends.

My mom took me out to dinner.  I chose a place that I have never been to before and well...we weren't impressed.  Kinda disappointed actually.  I think a lot of it had to do with the service and how our server didn't take our order for like an hour after we got there and at the end we had to take our bill to the front because she never returned...and it wasn't even busy.  We were there for 2 hours, but glad I got to try a new place.  I also picked it because I wanted to try sushi and I love wasabi on it.  My brother and mom were like "Rachel that stuff is hot" and I said I know I have had it before, but oh my...I guess I really put a bit on the first piece I tried.  My nose was cleared instantly, but the funny thing was the heat went beyond my nose and the top of my head felt like it was burning.  Went away fast, but I have never felt that before. 

After that I went to FHE...well the end of it and some friends and others went out for Gooeys at the resort and those are always fun times.  It was all in all a really great day filled with tons of birthday wishes and great people who love me. :)

Instant Joy

A friend just sent me this link and I just smiled.  I hope you guys love it too.

Oscar Fashion 2010

Now I know I'm no fashion expert or will even pretend to act like I know what I am talking about.  So the following images and comments are just my simple opinion. These are by no means personal attacks, they are just comments made towards beautiful woman while trying to make myself feel better about me. Isn't that how it goes when you put someone down?  I am sure I will give lots of compliments as well.  Don't you worry.

Charlize Theron wearing one of my favorite colors, but  what is up with the roses on her boobs?  I just feel they are oddly placed.

Carey Mulligan- I honestly don't know who she is, but she is way cute.  I love her hair and her outfit has some very fun elements to it. I wish I could find a close up of the bead work.  Those are various items like scissors.  It's like classy goth.   Love it.

Anna Kendrick- Pretty girl, but that color is so light.  I just feel like her skin tone is too close to the dress color.

Cameron Diaz- She looks beautiful.

Just a beautiful couple.  

Colline Firth and his lady friend- Handsome man as always.  Think he had me at Mr. Darcy, but her shoulder poof with her purse...one or the other needs to go.

Gaboure Sidibe- You go girl!

Gerard Butler- He just melts my heart.  I am glad he looks amazing because I could never say anything bad about him.

Jeff Bridges- Too much hair man, and why the heck was he in the We Are The World 25 for Haiti song?  You can click here to view it.  Does he sing and I just never knew it?  

Jennifer Lopez- That dress is just awkward...I suppose if one leg got tired the crazy side could still hold her up.  

Just not the right dress even though one looks classy and one looks trashy.

Miley- You actually look great, but your mom...tell her to stop whatever she is doing.  

Too much facial hair Keanu, I just can't get past it.

Mariah, I know you are a cougar, but you got your man...stop flaunting everything you got.

Too much going on Molly...sorry hun, but the hair and all the metal looks like you belonged in Egypt back in the day.

Rachel McAdams- I love this look.

Sara Jessica Parker- To me you can look pretty and then you can look just bad.  I don't know what it is about you.  But, I'm sorry to say...this wasn't a good look for you.  What happened to your hair?  It is all frizzy on top.

Vera Farmgia- Need a fan anyone?

Zoe Saldana- I love how this looks when it's moving.

I think you have seen enough.  I do think the Academy Awards are my favorite to see all year.  Can't wait till next year!  Congratulations to all that won!

Font Fun

Was looking up a font and found this.  Thought it was a cool image all made out of fonts!

Infinite Power of Hope

Good People Still Exist

Today I was working one of my jobs.  I help out a lady a couple days a week running errands, cleaning, and cooking for her.  She is a great lady and I really enjoy being around her.  Today I did some of her grocery shopping.  She had me get a couple of nice cooking sheets for baking cookies.  We got some nice ones that weren't cheap.  I put the groceries in my car and drove back to her house.  I like to try to get all the bags into the house with only one trip or I feel like I have failed.  I was able to do it all in one trip, but as soon as I set the bags down I realized I didn't bring in the cookie sheets.  They never made it to my car!  So I rush back to the store, check the cart area where I had put the cart and it wasn't there.  I went to the lady who checked me out to see if they were still there...she said she had to take them out to correct the discount, but she thought she put them back in and then directed me to the customer service counter.  There I had to wait in a long line.  About 4 people ahead of me I saw a lady turn in those baking sheets!  I looked at her as she walked away and thought how I am grateful how there are still honest people in this world.  I had to wait for at least 5 more minutes but seemed way longer to tell them I left without baking sheets and I was able to get them back.  I don't know what I would have done had that lady not turned them in.  Just saved me a lot of hassle and stress and I appreciate her and people like her.

Why Women stay single !!

This guy is a freak. I laugh every time I hear it. Even if you have heard this before it's always good to know that most guys aren't like him.

25 Random things about ME

5. I made up a short list when I was younger that I wanted my future husband to have. All really silly things and do not apply today, but at the time it was important to me.

• Had to be taller than me
• Had to have a last name that was closer to the beginning of the alphabet than mine…I was tired of being last.
• Had to be right handed because I am left handed…the idea was we could hold hands and still function.
• Had to have straight hair…I hated having curly hair at the time and I wanted to give my kids a chance.

6. I was once attacked by a seagull at SeaWorld. Vicious creatures!
7. I have no sense of direction. I could get lost anywhere. My mom gave that trait to me.

18. I had a grandpa that had one leg. When we were kids and didn’t want to sleep we decided to play “Grandpa” and we would put on leg in our pj pants knee first and tie the end in a knot and hop around the house with our one leg laughing. That’s not making fun right? I hope my kids play “Grandpa”.
19. I love to smile and be smiled at.
20. I hate aging. It’s totally a number thing.
21. Long toe nails gross me out.
22. I have been skydiving once and would love to go again.
