Jeez Chineez: Sherlock in Disney!!

A Sherlock sighting...in Disney World. How much awesomer could it get? Well, it could get awesomer actually. It would be way awesomer if he were waiting in line to get on a rollercoaster, pipe and magnifying glass in hand. But we won't think unrealistically and will make a point to appreciate the greatness of his sighting in itself. YES. To read my full post, click here.
Pip-pip!

JeeVee - 24 days

Today marks 24 days until i hit the BIG 3-0!
scared? a bit.
excited? a bit.

i just read liontamer's entry, [below this one that directed to her personal blog, it's a must read, btw.] and we must be on that same wavelength of personal expression, right now. [maybe it's this gloomy weather we've been having lately.] :/ but, yeah...i'd been feeling very reflective on my life too. i have taken many steps back to take a real look at my life. [oxymoron...steps back to look closer. ha]

is this where i had planned to be?
is this where i want to be?
is this where i am suppose to be?

10 years ago, i dreamt of living in the heart of a metropolitan city, working my butt off at a high-stress fashion|design job, and living it up with friends galore. i was in LA for 2 years (from 2001 - 2003)and i really did live it up - full time school, full time work at a 'fancy' gym, hanging with the friends and spending all my money. lol. when i got back here [little ol' silverdale], i knew i had gotten all of it out of my system. at 23 jessie and i got married after 5 years of dating [with 4 of those years, long-distance (that is a whole other story friends)] and at 25 i had nia. now, i am a part of this awesome company with awesome peeps, as well as run a teeny event planning company...

so, when i look over at my nia and at my jessie, it's easy to answer the questions above, with yes. it's where i am suppose to be, it's where i want to be, and where i planned to be ~ happy and loving my life.

for my birthday coming up i plan to share my happiness everyday with a Random Act of Kindness (RAOK) ~ maybe buy coffee for a stranger, make a donation to a charity, carry a bag full of groceries to a 'matured' persons car...i don't know. something, i promise. and i will share!

do you friends have any ideas on what i could do?

24 days till 30...

i chose not to post my post on this blog. (haha! 'post my post'... why does this stuff crack me up?!). instead, i chose to post it on my own blog. i figured it's best for me to take up a lot of space in my own space. damn. i'm on a roll.

so, if you choose to accept... please feel free to accept this viewing invitation to my blog post at daringliontamer213.

thanks for reading. and uh, btw, i wrote it very fast. can't say i didn't warn you. somehow....

Jeez Chineez: V-DAY

The day of looooove. Valentine's Day is just around the corner!! And I have never been less interested! Don't get me wrong...I am always all about Valentine's Day. But give me my husband returning from a deployment in Iraq any day and Valentine's Day is officially blown clear out of the water. However...we still want to do something nice...after all, it is Valentine's Day. About two weeks ago, I called a restaurant we both like to make Valentine's Day reservations. Little did I know that this particular restaurant did not believe in love, Valentine's Day, or having a good time. It's a shame really. Read on:
"Hi, are you accepting reservations for Valentine's Day?"
"Yes, we are!"
"Okay, I'd like to make a reservation."
"Okay, how many?"
"Two."
"Oh, I'm sorry. We only accept reservations of 4 or more..."
"........................even though.......it's......Valentine's Day?"
"Yeah."
"Okay...uh...uh...uh...uh...well...uh...bye..."
Yes. This is a true story. Some businesses just don't use common sense. So John and I are just going to have to find one that does. I boycott stupidity. Sorry unnamed restaurant. As lovely as your food is, I don't want to spend Valentine's Day eating with a crowd of people. Since I haven't seen my husband in over 6 months, I plan on having a romantic candle-lit dinner with him. Period. Reservation for TWO. Period. And YOU just don't cut the grade this Valentine's Day.
In fact...you know what? Screw restaurants! I'm going to make the kickest assest (true story) Valentine's Day meal EVER. Eat that!

JeeVee: The Poster Saga - Book 1 - Out for Blood!

Remember this fabulous piece of art? Well..the talented arteeest behind that masterpiece has now moved into the back office with us. Welcome...Josh!

When Rach was sitting there, she was infamous for her quirky little toys and her knick knacks all around her desk. Well, not much has changed - Josh is all about it too. See -

mini bowling pins...

play-doh

goodluck gargoyle

Oh...and this one is special - LOL!!

Yes, there is a story to this!

Apparently, Josh and Rachel (from sales) made an agreement to have the power to hang whateeeeeeeever poster they wanted in eachother's 'work space.' So, Rachel snuck in this morning before Josh got here to surprise him with a poster of her super fave, Taylor Lautner.

All I have to say is that Josh is out for blood...[get it? wolf pack? team jacob, out for (vampire) blood? lol! I know..a knee slapper! Jeez Chinese - I know you got it!!]...till book 2...[dun dun dun]
