The end of an affair.....

I can't wait to see you every morning..

to see you and embrace you,

to draw you closer to me

to place my lips softly against you

to take you in and taste you on my tongue

to savor your richness

you awaken my heart

you are the one i want

the only one

there are no others who could ever replace you

I have tried so hard to let you go

to give you up

I know you are no good for me

but alas, i can not

i am addicted to you

i crave you

i need you

like a heart needs a beat

like a ball needs a chain

like a hole needs a head

mornings are not enough for me anymore

I find myself wanting more of you

in the afternoons

in the evenings

even at night before I go to sleep

but if I allow myself to have you

i know that sleep will never come



Oh Mr. Brown

I must end this sordid love affair I have with you..

lest I can never be true to my diet plan
or to myself

So good bye Mr. Brown

Good Bye 104 calories per can

Good bye 19.4g of Carbs

My body will miss you dearly!

Bummers!

Uli still has not found his way back home and I cheated and weighed myself today and have not dropped a single pound since last Wednesday..I have to admit, I did cheat a couple times...during election weekend I ate corn beef and cabbage while waiting for the votes to be counted at Tina's camp..and some cheese and crackers...and a piece of lemon meringue pie...ok, more than a couple of times....but I'm back on track today.

On a brighter note, it's Thursday!

One Decade down...

MY BABY GIRL TURNS 10 TODAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRIKA GLORI TALALEMOTU!

Weekend Review

First the sad news..uliuli has run away from home :) I opened the sliding glass windows and left the screen windows closed but not locked shut on Saturday night, and uli somehow managed to open the sliding screen and sneak out. I was hoping he would come back by Sunday morning, but it is already Tuesday and he has not shown up yet :( We only have a few neighbors and none of them has seen him...I'm worried about him since he has never been out of the house before and its been raining the last couple nights...If anyone in the Kagman area has seen him, I'd appreciate if you could pick him up and call me (Moylan's Insurance)...He's very friendly!

Of course, like 75% of the registered voters, I went out and voted this weekend. Then I spend most of Saturday at the camp of Ms. Tina Sablan waiting for the results to come in (and eating some very delicious food!!! Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Sablan, Mom and Glen). A little after midnight I gave up waiting and went home to watch the counting on channel 2 in my nice cozy bed.

Sunday I took the kiddo's to PIC's Brunch (bad idea for someone on a diet!) and water park. I relaxed in the lazy river most of the day because the other pool was freezing cold!


Sunday night it was back to the "Sablan Camp" to enjoy the excellent company, corn beef and cabbage and Karaoke....After singing just about every song the Karaoke Mic had to offer (including the Tagalog ones), the kids got bored and decided to start dancing..

That's my son in the green shorts busting out some groovy moves..Napoleon Dynamite ain't got nothin' on him! he he

Off in Hawaii, my brother got married this weekend too...I'm very happy for him! He's a great guy and deserves to be happy! I have not met his wife yet, but I hear she is a very nice woman. She is Yapese so of course I'm biased towards believing that must be true!! :) Congratulations Lawrence!

Another GREAT weekend for the books...

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finally..

I just got done voting...I was surprised though, 1) There was absolutely no line when I went..I just walked right in and voted 2)They didn't ask or check my ID and 3) they did not make me stick my pinkie in a jar of ink like they usually do...hmmm.. Oh well, BIBA TINA!

In observance of the Great Bathroom Blogfest

Since Jane has joined the great NaNoRiMo novel writing activity and Mona has joined the NabloPloMo blog writing challenge, I didn't want to be left out. So I have joined the Annual Bathroom BlogFest or AnBaBlofe as I like to call it.















"During the annual Bathroom Blogfest, bloggers from around the globe write about the importance of bathrooms in the customer experience with photographs of great and terrible bathrooms. Their posts come from a wide range of perspectives that include sociology, marketing, research, psychology, environmental, customer experience, and user-experience design. Initiated in 2006 with nine bloggers, this year's event runs from October 28 to November 2, during National Kitchen and Bath Month."


Our office bathrooms at first glance appear normal. We have the "Gentleman" and the "Ladies" . Nothing fancy about the men's room, your basic john complete with toilet bowl, sink half bath, Disinfecting soap, Lysol, Air Freshener,etc.

However, our ladies room is much more "customer friendly"
as it is equip with a full length mirror located directly in front of the toilet bowl.

I did not install this mirror, its been here since I began working here, so I can't take credit for it. But our bathroom mirror is very crucial to the overall "customer experience" when obtaining insurance here and we make sure to invite all our customers to "please use our restrooms". At the least, it has come in handy for the elderly and or visually impaired to make sure they have found the "target" and are sitting in the right spot and serves as a reminder for those who may be in need of a trim..teehee. And it definitely throws some excitement into the usually mundane process of renewing your auto insurance... :)

Chillin' on the bowl.

Over the years I have received numerous comments about the placement of our bathroom mirror. Our customer for the most part seem to find it amusing and enjoyable. In fact, I can only recall one instance where a female customer emerged from the bathroom with a somewhat negative comment, that went something like, "OH MY GOD!, did you know you can see your bebe in the mirror when you pee?? That's scary!"

I'm now left to wonder if that customer could have been the elusive Lil-hammerhead??? hmmm..

Happy Election Day Everyone!
