The Fortunate, Cartel

While waiting for a movie to start I saw this and it made me laugh.

Quando Quando Quando, Michael Buble feat. Nelly Furtado

I was looking at Thanksgiving Point Gardens because A) Every Tuesday in the month of August the

• Museum of Ancient Life (Dinosaurs!)


• Thanksgiving Point Gardens (Allergies)


• Farm Country (Dinosaur descendants that have allergies)

is only $2.00 admission for everyone! A great deal, but expect chaos!

AND B) For the gardens I have heard you can rent a Segway and ride around the gardens! Which I am dying to do!

I normally do not chuckle when I am looking for information, but this made me laugh because many pop songs are described:

Love lies bleeding (Amaranthus cavdatus) drapes over Black eyed Susan Irish eyes (Rudbeckia) and summer annuals.

I have watched this twice and both times I have laughed to myself aloud! Oh how I miss The Office!

When I read the title of today's song, I thought of the little match girl. Weird?!


When I was in Junior High I had a difficult time. I was super tall, skinny, and had a super high voice. I had trouble making friends and stuck to my two new and best friends; a sporty in-crowder, and a girl who was his neighbor, who loved Nickelodeon and video games as much as I did. At one point, like everyone else, I was made fun of because of my Old Navy Performance Fleece jacket. I really never felt like I fit in. BUT then one day magic happened. At lunch I found 2 people who I knew from my neighborhood. They hated carrying around their backpacks, so one day I recommended (or they told me to...) carry around their backpacks during "A" Lunch for a penny ( I had to do something to buy Haribo Frogs!). So I did so. For some reason I felt really cool, or that I was apart of something.... Years later I look at this and laugh, because the people that I helped during lunch are two of my best friends. And recently one of these good friends sent this picture to me: Funny how photos bring it all back!



I still love the underdog, and feel an a connection to those that are alone, or feel that way. So next time someone is alone, shy, or looking down. Say hello and be a friend!

Now what to do about the match girl?

Never Gonna Give Up, Jennifer Lopez

So something interesting about me is that I learned how to ride a bike when I was 21. Yes, some of us are late starters. If there was one lesson I learned, it was that I was not going to give up. For some reason riding a bike had never been a desire as a child. When my friends would want to go out to lunch at the local Burger King, or Golden Spoon, I just walked/ran beside them.

For me riding a bike has been one of my top accomplishments. It proved who I am, and tested me physically, spiritually, and emotionally. At one point as I attempted to pedal over a cobblestone road, I slammed into a Gray Camry because I was staring at it on my left. It hurt, but now I look back and laugh.

Really that is what life is about, not Giving up. Things are tough, but guess what that's life. Every once in a while we slam into something, but really we only get up and laugh as we venture on down the road.

What has been your biggest accomplishment?
