Downsizing

Today I posted a note that I have far too many friends on facebook and a downsizing must take place.  I am only one woman, it is nearly impossible for me to keep track of just myself.  I know what you're thinking.  Whoa, people must have been scared shitless to get the boot.  Well imagine how I felt when I received this threat:

needed:

a personal assistant.  asap.

The Fam and the Food

My cousin Trishy recently started up a family food blog called The Food and the Fam.  I love Trish for many reasons, but this is by far one of the cutest things she has come up with to get the family interacting with each other.  And what better way than with food.  The idea is to post a picture and description of any interesting meals we make or even order while dining out.  So far we've had gingerbread pancakes, veal burgers, fried avocado tacos and chicken/four cheese ravioli with a truffle oil sauce - wow!  I am looking forward to more posts, especially from the elders and their experienced methods.  Here are a few posts:

Hot Yoga

Also know as Bikram Yoga.

I attended my first class the other night and enjoyed it so much that I went back the next night.  I can't really explain the feeling but it is one of the most intense sensations ever.  You completely sweat your ass off and then leave feeling beautifully refreshed.  I can't get over the amount of sweat one produces.  Your hair, skin, clothing are fully drenched by the time you're ready to take a deep breath and cool down. The whole vibe was just amazing and filled with so much positive energy.  I encourage everyone to at least try it.  I promise you won't be disappointed. 

As my friend pointed out, 'It's not yoga, it's a work out.'

Thank you, Boulder.

Word Trendz

i have noticed a growing trend on certain words that used to be respected cautiously and correctly, not to mention you would have to earn cool points to even utter their syllables.  for some unforgivable reason, captions and descriptions are unvieling events as 'epic' and occuring much too frequently for the word to even make sense.  what happened to the significance?  what happened to the meaning?  just because you got drunk and played wii until 4am with your friends, does not earn anyone the right to describe said event as 'epic.'  weekend after weekend, to boot.  call it a pet peeve if you will, but i now cringe every time i see a shirt with an iron-on piano cat described as 'epic.'  like it wasn't painful enough that 'dope' got overused.
