Tristan

Gramma: Tristan, do you know what you want to be when you grow up?

Tristan: I don't know...maybe like a Ninja Pirate or Mad Scientist or something...
Gramma: What in the world is a Ninja Pirate?
Tristan: Um, you know, like a dude that practices ninjutsu across the seven seas.

This guy.

Grody dude at store: Wooow. You have gorgeous feet. I have a thing for perfect toes. And Asian women.

Me: Then you should become a Podiatrist and move to Asia.
Grody dude at store: Hah. Actually, I teach 2nd grade.
Me: Greeeeeaaaaaat.

Guess I should have gotten the name of the school who hired this douche.

I've been thinking about how funny it is that I don't let anyone but family watch my kids. However, I let a complete stranger teach and discipline them for 6 hours, 5 days a week. Does this make any sense?

You just never know, you know? People are weird. And maybe the only reason this bothers me so much is because I know how weird I am myself. Or, maybe it's because of people like grody foot douche...

Honestly, Honesty.

I was positive I knew who I was. I was sure that I made peace with myself; 29 was a great year of self discovery.

For some reason, now, I don't know what?

The only things I know for sure are...

I am married to amazement himself.

My kids are beyond incredible.

My dad is the definition of charity and ambition.

Music, Food & Books are my refuge (currently working to eliminate food).

There is a hole in my heart (figuratively speaking).

Maybe I'm just a lost soul searching for meaning in a senseless world. Maybe I'm a crazy woman in the middle of something that I just don't understand.

save me from them

I am not a partier. I cannot hold my liquor to save my life and, as a matter of fact, I'm convinced that I'm allergic to the schtuff.

Seriously, for the love of wenis... Night clubs are my Nightmare!!!

I would much rather be surrounded by good people and good conversation. Coffee and talk. Wine and wit. Am I the only one? Dude, I need new friends. Pronto.

dearsome threesome

Man am I proud to be the mommy of the three most AWESOME kids evar!!! They are my world and I just ADORE them.

Handsome, Wise, and Brilliantly Witty Tristan

Spontaneous, CRAZY, and Adorably Bright Omax

Gorgeous, Sassy, yet Snuggly Little Leilei

Tenacious T

Tristan is 7and ridiculously HILARIOUS...


Tristan's Classmate: Hey Tristan, check out my new skateboard.
Tristan: Yeah, that's cool but I got a new scooter for Christmas.
Tristan's Classmate: Scooters are for little girls!
Tristan: That's why your dad has one.
Tristan's Classmate: That doesn't make any sense.


Tristan decided to hold the door open for an elderly lady at the store...

Elderly Lady: Why thank you, kind sir.
Tristan: No problem toots!


Talking to one of my friends...

My girlfirend: Tristan, how'd you get to be so smart?
Tristan: I don't know.
My girlfriend: And handsome? And deep? And so cool?
Tristan: Well, isn't this some chicken soup for my soul?


Asking him where he wanted to go for family vacation...

Jay: Tristan, how about the San Diego Zoo?
Tristan: How about not?
Jay: I'm sure they have a petting zoo and everything.
Tristan: Dad, I don't pet anything that smells like butt.


All I have to say is...Tristan is DOPE!

Cheers to 2010

Dear 2010,

Since you are going to be around for the next 364 days, I wanted to formally greet you. FYI, your counterpart, 2009, promised to be a stellar one, but it lacked the follow through. So, bend over, 2010, I’m going to rock you like Tony Danza, because I will be your boss.

I thought I would let you in on some tips for our journey together.

*Bring on the exercise. Seriously. Not only does it feel oh-so good but it always puts me in an amazing mood. Though our schedule is hectic, we will make time to unearth that thin girl we once knew.

*Let’s make this a year of living thriftily. This means money needs to be SAVED not SPENT. I give you permission to kick my arse if I begin to forget this little goal we’re setting. Starting AFTER my 30th birthday!!!

*We are going to learn to schedule our time. Whatever that means. But, we will figure out what that is, and do it.

*The house will be clean. Not just when we’re having company, but at all times. This will be the BIGGEST chore of them all (especially with typhoon Omax).

*Lose the Losers. I’ve got no time for people who are insincere and fake. This seems like a good year to pick the weeds.

*Our family WILL be going on vacation this year. I don’t care where we go as long as it is away from here. We are overdue for an adventure of epic proportions. Watch out (anywhere), here we come!

*Sewing. I so want to be a phenomenal seamstress and make all the wonderfully fun things I create in my head. So, bernette 46, you and I are going to be close friends.

*Jay and I are going to spend more time together ALONE. He is my everything and I will make sure to take the time to show him that. Quality time. Not just boom chicka wah-wahing, fool. But that too.

*Aerosmith Hohner Honkin on Bobo Harmonica, it’s on! I have the most beautiful harmonica and it sits on my dresser. I love, love, love the harmonica and have an undying urge to play the blues. Oh, and we will.

Farewell, 2009. You were a year of many lessons.

CHEERS to 2010! I know we can do it!!!

Love,

Rev Cindawg
