This is your LIFE.
Do what you love, and do it often.
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't like your job, quit.
If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop. They will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over analyzing. Life is simple.
All emotions are beautiful when you eat and appreciate every last bite.
Open your mind,arms and heart to new things and people. We are united in our differences.
Ask the next person next to you to see what their passion is. And share your inspiring dream with them.
Travel often; Getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once. Seize them.
Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating.
Life is short. Live your dream and wear your passion.
I read this somewhere and felt inspired to make changes. Life can become monotonous and boring sometimes. You feel like you are in a rut. But, make a change and get yourself out of it. It is only you that keeps you there.
2011 is my year and I'm doing ME.

Saved from Evil
It was a looooooong morning.
It started with a crank call at 6:15am. nice.
Have to be at M's Godmother's place by 7:30am (actually 7:45am, but you know who you are...sometimes you have to trick yourself to get there on time. or at least reasonably late). Diaper changes, clothes, teeth, clean the car, and car seats, then we are off by 7:30am. W00t! I'm running on time.
Turn onto the major street and already I'm hit with traffic. Grrr. Two and a half hours later we are all at the Parenting Centre. Awesome place for the picknees. Sandbox, Waterbox, painting, crafts, sing time, story time, snacks, crafts, books, blocks, play kitchen, costumes, bumba chair, play saucer chair thingy, coffee,toys, and FUN!
We had McD's for breakfast. Egg McMuffin combo. Forgot to mention no butter & no cheese. ahh well. I chose the 'healthy' breakfast right? :P
By 2pm I'm STARVING! We are on our way to our Roots of Empathy (ROE) meeting. We stop off at a store because me and my camel (aka my niece Nicole who drinks LOTS of water) are thirsty. And there it is. In all its prepackaged, refined sugar, evil glory. A hostess chocolate cupcake. I got the water since I'm thirsty, but try to hold off since we'll be going out to eat after the ROE session. But, when you are hungry almost anything looks delicious. Even disgusting fake chocolate fat in the shape of a cupcake.
In the car I figured if I share it with M's Godmother or my niece I wouldn't be totally fatting out. But, my niece saved me. She took it out of my hands. Told me not to do it. I still wanted it. Even tried to convince her to sink to my level and have one. Then she read out the 'nutritional' value. Sodium, Sugar, Fat, Calories. That did it. No thanks.
Thanks Darling! You saved my waistline for that minute. Although, at 7:44am it's looking pretty tempting again. I should just throw it away. Or maybe someone can eat it in front of me so I can eat it vicariously through them.
Any volunteers?

Drive Much?!?
There's a reason I take the GO Train to work and not drive. I mean, I could drive. The $ is about the same since I know where's a good parking lot, but I I just cannot handle the traffic on 404/DVP. I'd rather play my DS, listen to my iPod, read the Shout Outs, read my chick-lit book, do the Sudoku, crochet, ANYTHING! except sleep. I just can't sleep in public like that. My brother asked "what's the problem? you think someone's going to steal your shoes?". Yeah...my family....the comedians. :P
But, I digress. Driving with traffic is bad enough, but add some type of slippery weather and everyone's brains turn off. Like WTF!?
1. Slow the F down!
2. Speed the F up!
3. Why are you Fing breaking there's NO ONE in front of you?
4. He's following too close. Get off my A$$!
5. Check your blind spot MF!
6. Get off the road! YOU give me a bad name chick/asian
(please excuse the expletives. when i suffer from road rage, it also lowers my I.Q., tolerance, and increases my racist outbursts) I have to now say this all in my head since I have children in the car.
And for the greater good, my road rage will sleep while I take the GO Train.

I smell $h!t. Do you smell that?!?
Have you ever potty trained a kid?!? It's my first time and man, are there ups and downs. And the downs are all gross!
UP:
M-Dawg: Can I use the potty mommy?
Me: Yes! Yes! Of course! Come, let me undo your onesy.
M-Dawg: (Runs over and puts his arms up to take it off)
Me: (thinks: off?? ummm..whatever....go with it)
M-Dawg: Look mommy! Look!
Me: Awesome! Amazing! Way to go buddy! You did it! You did it! Let's call po-po and gung-gung and tell them! (grandmother and grandfather from mother's side in Chinese)
M-Dawg: I get TWO wine gums mommy.
Me: ok. That was the deal. (how'd he remember that?!?) Now, let's put your clothes back on.
M-Dawg: Noooooooooooo! (Run around living room naked for45 mins)
DOWN:
Marky Marc has taken off his PJs on the pretext of going to use the potty. It worked last time, so why not?
Frankie: I smell shit. Do you smell that? (Comes down the stairs after waking up)
Marky Marc: LANGUAGE DADDY!
Me: Yeah, Daddy. LANGUAGE! Maybe it's your upper lip? (smirk)
Frankie: No Seriously. Marcus, did you poo?
Marky Marc: Nooooooo (giggles)
Frankie: What IS that?! Marcus, did you POO?!
Marky Marc: Noooo (giggles)
Frankie: (looks around and sees his PJs and underpants lying on the floor with POO in IT!) MARCUS!!
Me: MARCUS!! (Marky Marc turns to run away and now you can see his butt...that's all I'm sayin') DO NOT SIT ON THAT!! Get upstairs! Get upstairs!
Marky Marc: HA HA HA HA HA! (sits down)
