First Friday

I'm not sure why, but this clip cracks me up.

Why did I post it? Well, I will tell you.  The fam is attending it's first office party for Marc's new job at the local PD's office this evening.  I'm sure it will not be nearly as whimsy and exciting as this clip, but it will be WAY more fun than the office parties I remember from the local Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association that I used to work for.  (DAMN! Those were some BORING parties) I get bored just thinking about them.  Anyway, this will be the closest I've come to an office party in over 5 years.

Fortunately I know many of the people Marc works with because he worked with a handful of them at his last real job, investing capital cases for the State.  Anyway, they are a lively and liberal group so I am actually looking forward to it, and since I have nothing else of note to say at the moment, I'm saying this.

It's funny that if you Google First Friday you will get many links to different cities promoting their local art and art districts with a monthly celebration.   The reason this party is named First Friday is because it's when the State workers get paid.  They feel that this is worth celebrating...  I do too!  I also think it's cool that they do this each month at a different person's house and that occasionally they even get a few wanderers from the DA's office!  That is very encouraging!

It's good to stay cohesive and celebrate the little things, the good things or just getting together because you can.  I think it's also great office policy.  People who party together, STICK together!  They pretty much have to don't they?  I mean they know too damn much about each other not to...

Life, ain't it grand?

The Cravings Truck...

There is a lovely young couple in the panhandle area who have started a business that I found to be quirkily and deliciously different.  When I say young, I mean VERY young... like 20's young. 

I met them at a downtown farmer's market.  I had just eaten a huge vegetarian meal from the local Vegan Krishna vendor and was stuffed!  But I saw that truck, with the words "Red Velvet Waffles" painted on the side... how could I refuse?  So I trotted over to order some, and unfortunately, they could not oblige.  It seemed that they had everything else BUT those.  They were mostly just getting out there so people would know who they were.  Since I really was stuffed, it was probably a good thing.  :-)

So, I chatted with the lady whose name I cannot recall, and she told me all about their plans for the business.  It's really smart and yummy, and hip and cutting edge.  They have this beautiful kitchy truck (really no pun intended) and very very fun and creative menu items, some of which are secret family recipes!  I love that.  There is a small kitchen like area where they whip up their yummy wares and they travel around the city selling them.  The really cool thing is with today's technology you can find them on twitter or the internet, so you know exactly where they are going to be and when!  There is even a map provided with the route if you want it!  I think this is so fabulous.

Visit their website, check out the menu and see what I mean: The Cravings Truck

Good luck to you guys~  I'll see you next Sat....I've been dreaming of those Red Velvets Waffles!

Blogger Blues. :-(

Hey ya'll,

I cannot get Blogger to upload any photos.  I'm thinking it could be my Google Chrome needs an update, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue...?  I know lots of people, myself included have been having trouble with other Blogger components like the commenting, so it may just be Blogger...?

Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,

Respecting Mother... Every day.

"Mother Earth, you are my life support system. 


As your child, I drink your blue water, live inside your red clay and eat your green skin. 


Help me to balance myself as you hold and balance the Earth, the sea and the space environments. 


Help me to open my heart knowing the universe will feed me. 


I pray my boots will always kiss your face and my footsteps match your heartbeat. 


Carry my body through space and time. 


You are my connection to the universe and all that comes after. 


I am yours and you are mine. 


I salute you."


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was a prayer/mantra/morning greeting to our mother.  I first heard it in "Men Who Stare at Goats"  I did change one part in the beginning.  I took out the word soldier and replaced it with child.


Honestly, I think it is the true Hail Mary.


Namaste ya'll.

C'mon, laugh at my fears...!

I came across this video and it made me face in a goofy way why I am dragging my feet on launching my new business fully... or at all.  The reason being, I'm afraid this will will be the male version of my services.  Watch and laugh your ass off! (Or just shake your head in disbelief.  Whatever.)

Men Who Stare at Goats

This movie tickled my funny bone, and as whacky as it is, I'll bet the truth is even stranger.  Two big toes UP!
PS The whole cast is great, but Jeff, well, he takes the cake!

Happy Birthday Danielle!

Wishing you a genuinely silly and fun filled birthday, and everything grand for your future!


Love you, pf
