Hi Im Autism!

Hi! Im Autism…
I am like a thief in the night…
I come to unsuspecting kids!
I DONOT  discriminate!
I don’t care if you are POOR. RICH. BLACK. WHITE. PURPLE. GREEN!!!!
I am in very single neighbor hood.
I can be your next door neighbor!
I rob you of your child of  speech and rational thoughts!
Although I am told, I am intelligent…is a matter of a fact, they believe that I inhabited Einstein!
Who am I?
I am AUTISM! I AM AUTISM! I am here to stay! I am not leaving! I have been here since the DAWN OF MAN!
I am devastation!
I am heartbreaking!
I can be your worst nightmare!
I GROW in numbers, every  twenty minutes, a child will be diagnosed in my SPECTRUM!
You have no idea who I will strike next! 
How can I be beaten!??

This doesn’t have to be IT!  If we ban together we CAN come up with the CURE!  WE CAN BEAT THIS!  I have faith… And so should you!  Here’s to a FABULOUS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH!

Oh Mister Rabbit he had a naughty habit…

Hmmm…  I think that is how that song goes!  HA-HA…  Anyways, I just want to show y’all what happens when Mr Rabbit doesn’t listen to the farmer and keeps eating his cabbages…( WAHHHHAHAHAHa<—- that’s my SUPER evil laugh…) 
This is the cake Honey and I worked on together!  It was alot of fun…  The twins couldn’t help but, they really enjoyed the frosting! 
It was a total suprize to the other  kids!! 

Roller Blading Disaster!

It’s 100% official I am OLD! 

Honey bought me a pair of Rollerblades per my request(they are PINK!!!!)!  Sigh… The last time I roller bladed was back in 1994, so, it’s been a min or two!  And I thought, roller blading just like riding a bike!  NO BIGGIE!  HA!  I WAS WAY WRONG!  
Honey and I got all strapped up and BOOM he takes off…  Um, I thought OK, if he can do it I can! 
Within 5 minutes of being on my blades I was eating dirt and what did honey say?  ” Whatcha doing on the ground???”  I said, ( insert favorite cuss word and insult here) 
I never did get the hang of it…( for now at least) 

Anybody looking for a good workout?  Put on a pair of roller blades and push a baby stroller!  hehe…  The only reason why I was eating dirt as much as I should have been was because of the stroller so, good for a work out and balance! 
Strength I kick A@@ but, cardio and endurance…  I need to work on…  Ok I will let you guys know how today goes! Wish me luck!

My life is like a mixed tape…

For some reason Z102 changed it’s format again and now it’s called mix 102.1…  
The songs they were playing this morning… 
 Brought me way back to my high school years.  The happiest times my life…   So, I couldn’t help but, smile and think about a song list that reminds me of really good times in my life…

Bryan Adams…    I can remember sitting with my boyfriend…  on our way to a Cross Country meet…  Holding hands listening to Bryan Adams…  sneaking a kiss here and there…   HeHe… 

Sinad O’Connor…  Nothing Compares To You will always take me back… ( SIGH…) Just a side note…  You will ALWAYS remember your first love…  No , matter how insanely psycho you got AFTER the brake up…  ( hangs head in shame…)

Richard Marx is another one that puts a smile on my face… 

Depeche Mode was huge in Germany….  I can sing the ENTIRE album violator by heart…

The Cure   Swim Team… Cross Country… Cheerleading… 

Peter Gabrial…  In your eyes…  Need I say more?

Vanessa Paradis was huge in Germany as well…  GREAT TIMES!!

Sophie B Hawkins-nobody caught the lyrics but ME!  HAHA

What takes you back?

I’d really like to know how this is actually going to work. ( scratches head…) 

The bloggy challenge.

I think I am going to do this challenge.  And I know I didn’t do my thursday 13 but, things are insane here at our ZOO( haha)….  The theme is letters…  How much fun can this be?  And how freeing it can be as well…   Let me know if you are going to join me! 

A message to all members of NaBloPoMo

Just a quick note to tell you that the daily blogging theme for April
is going to be LETTERS.

For writers, this can mean letters to the editor, love letters, fan
letters, ransom notes — I’m not encouraging illegal activity, but the
list is endless.

For typography lovers, it’s a month full of fonts!

For photographers, it’s license to go out and shoot things both manmade
and natural that resemble a member of our beloved alphabet.

If you can think of more ways to apply this theme, feel free to start a
new topic in the forums!

And as always, if you’d like to be on the April blogroll of
participants, go to nablopomo.com, click on the Blogrolls tab, and follow the
instructions.

Happy posting!

Desert update…

Last weekend, I didn’t do the Tiramisu like I wanted to.  I did a bunny cake…( pictures will come soon )  Acutally honey and I did it together yes he helped with the cutting of the ears and things( he’s really anal when it comes to things like that…HAHA)  It turned out really cute.  I found a low fat recipie for Tiramisu and I am going to try that instead…  I have heard good reviews from it.  Why not?  I really am trying to change my eating habits!  And I have to start somewhere right?

Also, has ANYBODY tried the fertility or engagment chicken? 

Are you trying to tell me something?

I have been trying to lose weight!  I have to be really honest with you( and myself).  I just want the weight to fall off. I do not want to work at it!  I do not want to have to diet( I LOVE FOOD– OBVIOUSLY )  and I do not want to have to spend my time in a gym staring at already toned beautiful women( GRRRRR… ) I want to sit on my ASS and eat chips and tiramisu anytime I FEEL like IT!! 
sigh alas, I let it out!  I want to be lazy without having to worry about anything!  I wasn’t built that way( the curse of the Hispanic women) and wishing I was thin IS not going to help me become thin.  I have to work at it and I have work hard. 

IT started with Saturday.  At the Easter Egg Hunt in Richmond Hill. My Boot-Camp(Derek Fraizer) trainer and I bumped into each other literally…  ( I haven’t been to boot-camp in a month…) So, he told me get back in and I said OK!

THEN…  on Tuesday, I saw my old WW( weight watchers ) meeting leader.  And she didn’t recognize me and I said OH I know how you are…  And I said, I totally failed at WW this time around.  And she said, “no you didn’t fail you I did”  I totally disagree!  The only person that failed was ME!  Well YESTERDAY…  Guess what came in the mail?  A coupon for a free meeting AND they will waive my joining fee as well!  How about that???

So, really I think the universe was trying to tell me something… So, what did I do?  Yesterday was my first day back at boot camp…  And to be total honest with you I should be more sore then what I am!  Which only means I need to TRY harder…  I am going to follow my WW books… Maybe even join a meeting.  Do any of my readers out there do WW and we can encourage each other?   And really do this!  I am still walking, riding, rowing around the world and I have only tracked 15 miles.  Which really doesn’t put me anywhere interesting..  Which is why I haven’t tracked it!  I will let you know when I hit a place of interest!

Back to DAY 1

Well guys I fell off the bandwagon!  sigh…  Yesterday I had a cup of coffee, a coke, and about three Dr. Peppers.  Not only are the soda pops BAD for my plight in trying to lose weight…  Really it is a strain on my health.  So, Here’s to Day 1 ALL OVER AGAIN!!

BANGS HEAD ON KEYBOARD!  I really need to get better when it comes to self discipline…  I suck!

And I will tell you what?  I felt like total crap yesterday!  By the end of the day I had a headache and I was dragging bootay…
