Good Times with Ash... Went to see Avitar!

Christmas with my new camera!

Put on your seatbelts, everybody... Put on your food belts!

(Richard Simmons:)
Put on you seat belts, everybody! Put on your food belts!

Oh no! It's not that time of year again. No, it can't be! It can't be! Tell me. Pinch me. Tell me it's not here!

It's The Most Fattening Time of the Year
(Parody of It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year)

It's the most fattening time of the year
With that pumpkin pie filling
And everyone swilling
Down eggnog and beer
It's the most fattening time of the year

It's the lip-smackingist season of all
While you're shopping you're cheating
Impulsively eating
That junk at the mall
It's the heav- heaviest season of all

There'll be turkeys for basting
And stuffing for tasting
And giblets and gravy will flow
There'll be cookies that mom baked
And leftover fruitcake
From a Christmas a long time ago

It's the scale flattening time of the year
While your diet you're blowing
There's calories going
Straight down to your rear
It's the scale flattening time of the year

(Hey wait a minute. Wait a minute. I know there's food everywhere. Eggnog flowing out of fountains. It's like one big Bar Mitzvah. But listen, you don't have to do that. You could have small portions. And make ribbons instead of fudge. You can do it! Please try!)

There'll be after meal dozing
And arteries closing
Cholesterol levels will grow
It's too cold to go jogging
Too brisk for tobogganing
So pass me a hot buttered roll

Don't you dare touch that roll! I'm watching!

It's the most fattening time of the year
All those gingerbread shingles
And chocolate Kris Kringles
Will tremble in fear
It's the most fattening time
It's a belt loosening time
It's the most fattening time of the year

*** Sad to say, I am already feeling it!***

Are you mad at me????

As I have been working out at the SJSU gym, I have shared a few smiles and a couple "hellos" with another avid exerciser. Mind you, we have never had a conversation before, and to this day I still don't know his name. As I go to jump on a treadmill, I smile at my exercising friend. He then does something out of the ordinary.... He approached me. The first thing he says to me is, "Are you mad at me?" I was somewhat taken back by the question. Why on earth would I be mad at him when I RARELY see him and have no clue who he is??? I politely say, "Um, no, what gave you that idea?" He then proceeds to tell me that the last time I worked out, it didn't seem like I wanted to see him. I seriously had to stop myself from laughing. Sadly enough, because my schedule has been so dysfunctional, I couldn't remember that last time I worked out; therefore, don't remember being mean to him. I quickly say it must have been a misunderstanding and we laughed it off...

My thought is, would that really be the best way to start a conversation with someone you don't even know? I mean, I have my socially awkward moments, but I know better than to come up to a complete stranger and say, " Are you mad at me?"

Thought of the Day...

It is a part of the human condition to think, 'because I am doing that which is correct in the sight of God, that God will make my path easy.' Recently, I have been reminded that the truth would be better stated as 'when we are doing what is right in the sight of God, we prevent ourselves from making our own path harder. And God will have fewer 'hard lessons' to teach us'

A Pick Me Up!

"Life is fun and exciting! Take discouragements and disappointments as time to regroup before you do something even MORE fun and exciting."

Saw this on a Facebook Status, and it was totally what I needed to read.... I'm just feeling a little down. Maybe it's the stress of finals or another bout of change is coming... but it's nice to remember that something "Fun and Exciting" is around the corner! (Hopefully!)

Oh, those Red and Blue Lights....

I love this time of year when you get to see all the fun Christmas lights around the city! However, there are some red and blue lights that I never wish to see.... I am speaking of those awful cop car lights that only make you feel sick to your stomach!



I was walking home tonight and watched someone get pulled over. I could just feel their stomach churning.... I swear, it's one of the worst feelings getting pulled over. I am not sure what the individual did, but whatever it was, I am glad it wasn't me getting pulled over.
