what happened to xanga?  it's been so long i have no clue...  i just didn't want to get kicked off... hehehe...    i'll go fiddle around a bit and see if there's anything that got saved or if all was lost... friends... blogs... how sad... 

my new life motto:  "it could be worse" ...    afterall, there's so much to be thankful for...

for instance... my hubby has been quite disgruntled lately.... so therefore i've been using my new life motto quite often around him... but i could list things on and on about that... anyhoo...  today on the way home, this is how our conversation went...

me:  there's always a bright side to everything... you should get yourself out of your negative depressive state and look on the bright side!  the glass is half full!

hubby:  what if it's completely empty?

me:  then that's even better because then your glass is available to be filled with anything possible!

hubby:   .....

me: 

nothing special about today... kinda forgot it was creeping up on me... no costume yet again... i'm so not into halloween... not that big of a candy lover and never did go trick or treating when i was young ... last year was the first time i really went trick or treating when my daughter was 16 mos... she was a chicken...   last minute costume... but she had a blast!  walking up and down the upper middle class neighborhood that hubby's cousins live in and knocking on doors... what a cutie... i think she only ended up getting to eat like two kit kats though... we're such nazis when it comes to letting her eat junk food... figure she'll get it later on... as long as we still kinda have control, might as well try and instill good eating habits...

so the kids have costumes... the older one is gonna be a butterfly... thanks to mel who graciously donated her butterfly wings and antenna headband from last year... the younger one will be a ladybug... originally last year i wanted the older one to be the ladybug but hubby thought we'd buy the costume when we got to texas instead of buying it and bringing it with us... of course by the time we were in texas, they were sold out of it everywhere.... i was quite bitter... being pregnant at the time gave me license to be very bitter...   anyhoo....  after halloween, i saw the ladybug costume for sale for the 0-6 mos size for half the price so i bought it to put on baby this year... needless to say, hubby didn't say a word about me buying it early... 

it's kinda rainy all morning but now i see some blue peeking out... wondering if we should walk around the mall where it's enclosed and air conditioned or venture out to the streets...  it'd be most fun to walk around waikiki and see all the freaks but alas... kiddos are in bed by the time the real weirdos come out...  what a shame...

ok ok ok .... so it's been like FOREVER since i last posted... but honestly... i've been too happy... and no one wants to hear about how happy you are with life... had a nice visit with an old pal jaycen who was in town... and we were talking about how you never really have good material to write about unless you're complaining about something or something crappy happens or you think your life just plain sucks...  right now... my life is great... it's not fabulous or anything grand but i'm very happy and content... sure it could be better... i could be uber rich...  or i could have a great sexy body...  or i could be super organized and have a clean house... but i'm not so unhappy with my current state and longing for what could be and missing in the moment of now...  i got a roof over my head and food in my tummy...  my baby is growing up healthy everyday... her smile lights up my soul...  i got a hubby who loves me and makes me feel beautiful... him just being lights up my life...  i'm truly blessed...
