props
not talkin' 'bout no prop 8 (which is BS that it passed) or prop 4 (hella glad it DID NOT pass), but just kudos that you give to people in general. you know, fist poundings, pat on the backs, shout outs on your blog/myspace/facebook. i want to give some props from this weekend, just because there are so many to give!
1. The Golden State Warriors, specifically, one Mr. Anthony Morrow. keep that level of play up, young one and you are destined for greatness (37 points in your first NBA career start! pimpstatus.com)!
2. The San Francisco 49ers. thank you for allowing us to watch an awesome first half...with even more awesomer seats. it was an anniversary for the books (and perhaps the beginning of the Mike Singletary era?).
3. my parents and in-laws. we are truly thankful for the free daycare LOL
4. single moms/dads. i know a few and you get the hugest props of them all. i can't even imagine how my days would look if i had to do this parenting thing by myself...seriously.

chump
here i am...at work...on a fucking SUNDAY. woo.
my parents and grandma (aka Hannah's daycare Mon - Wed) are on a pilgrammage to the Holy Land and aren't returning until Thursday night. Thanks to a very understanding boss and my recent promotion (hello new salary and exempt status!), i am able to take off Tues and Wed with the caveat that i work today and this coming Saturday. it would be nice if i could work from home today, but i seriously wouldn't get anything done because Byron would just hand Hannah off to me. not that i like being away from her, but at least he can deal with her for an 8 hour day LOL
i get super pumped about the holidays because the dork in me gets to bake goodies. holler at mini pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for T-day and mini red velvet cupcakes with a white chocolate peppermint frosting for Christmas...woot woot!

i should get some kind of award
another anniversary has come and gone. yesterday proved to be a very good day, despite the fact that the calamities that ensued for the first half of the day could have made it otherwise (hannah not going to sleep til 1am only to wake up at 5am, forgetting my bottles to pump in and having to go to Target to pick some up, traffic on 580). when i returned from picking up my lunch, there was a box on my office chair that had this inside:
the card that came with it read:
Hi babe. Happy 3rd Anniversary. I love you so much and I'm so happy that our love for each other is as strong as it was the day we got together.
what a sweetie :) so in return, i got him this for our anniversary:
yes i know that the Niners are sucking big donkey balls, but they have been for the past few years so there LOL
those tickets along with going to FHN: Warriors vs Bulls i should get some kind of award or a building in MH named after me LOL

inked
i got my first and only tattoo when i was freshly turned 21 (and also very newly single after a 3-almost-4 year relationship) and it was somewhat on a whim...like one of those things that you think about, but not ever sure that you would get it. i remember i had a couple of my kids with me, in fact, one of them was getting one and i said...why the hell not? so, about 30-40 minutes of a pain that felt like a warm needle scratching a bruise...there it was. my tiny little butterfly on the left side of my lower back. it was very subtle and to this day, i love it and don't regret getting it (in fact, sometimes i forget i have it LOL). still, the pain was so sweet and addicting that i promised myself that one day i would get another one, the caveat being that i would have to find the perfect symbolic sign like i did with the butterfly...and today, i stumbled on this:
well, to be fair...i did google "honu with plumeria" and this was the first site i found. in case you are wondering about the symbolism, turtles generally represent fertility. the plumeria was added because a very good friend of my sister lost her battle to lung cancer a little over 2 years ago and she has been our families unofficial guardian angel. her favorite flower was a plumeria and we crazy smelled it at her wake, funeral and the days after. even to this day my sister will catch a whiff and the flower is nowhere to be seen. it's crazy how things transpire over the past couple of years and i just want to pay homage to it. maybe my sister will get the same on with me...
