I'm In A Music Video!

Little Treasures!

I love finding little treasures when I shop...unexpected little finds! Two "Alice In Wonderland" pins, a little silver mirror, and a skull necklace. It IS the little things that bring happiness!

Top that off with a quote from church today that very simply hits on how I feel about the hate in the world: "One of the great tragedies in life is that the bible gets interpreted by people who are not in love."

This Is SO Cool!

So, as I mentioned before, we got to meet up with with Cory Williams of SMP Films and Kate Elliot (Katers17) from YouTube.  This is Kate's vlog from that day.  Austin starts at about the 8:44 mark, and you can see a few glimpses of me!  We had such a blast!  #SaveYouTube!!!  Go subscribe to Cory, Kate, and all of your favorite YouTube channels!  Watch regularly, and please, PLEASE express to Google how much you love these guys.  Recent changes are putting these channels in jeapordy.  Some of these folks, like Cory and Kate, make a living from their channels, but changes have caused their subscribership to drop.  This is bad for them, because without YOU, they cannot keep up these road trips to meet all of their dedicated fans, and keep making great, entertaining videos!

Negativity

Sometimes, there is just too much of it around you, and you need to move away from it to find some positivity in your life!  Negativity doesn't only take an emotional toll, it takes a physical one, as well.  Suddenly find yourself struggling to get out of  bed in the morning, and you simply can't explain it?  Don't have the energy to do your regular exercise routine or do your favorite things?  You don't particularly feel depressed yourself...generally, your mood is okay.  So what is the problem?  Look around you!!  There may be too much negative energies, and these negative energies are sucking you dry!  Your job, overly negative friends and family, etc.  Sometimes, you just need to pull away from it for a while!

What A Weekend!!!

Saturday...had fun at the Austin Auto Show. Saw some AWESOME cars.  Saw the car that I MUST have next!

After that, went to eat at one of my favorite places...which I haven't been in years...followed by a trip to my favorite Whole Foods for some goodies!

Sunday...I got to meet an amazing music artist by the name of Projected Twin!  This guy sounds just as good in a totally unplugged session as he does on his CD.  Not many artists can sound THAT good unplugged these days...so many need the help of technology!  You really need to check this guy out!

I also got to meet my favorite YouTube personalities...Cory "Mr Safety" Williams (also the creator of the Mean Kitty videos), and Kate "Katers17" Elliot!  They are just as awesome in real life as they are on their vlogs...great people!  I had a blast listening to music, being involved in the filming of some videos, and just hanging out and joking around!

Thanks to Cory, I learned that a solar eclipse was going to happen.  I've been so busy, that I didn't even know, and would have missed this event.  I went home, and watched what I could of the eclipse, with the help of my camera.  Unfortunately, due to sunset, I didn't get to see the "ring of fire" effect of the total eclipse, but I did get to photograph and witness part of the event.

What a weekend!!!

T.G.I.F.!!!!!

It has been one heck of a week!  I feel like Friday should have been two days ago!  Hopefully, I'll actually be able to relax, do something fun, etc. this weekend.

So Far, So Good!

This week has been a good week.  I've gotten some new equipment at home, and have been able to get in a workout each day this week.  My food choices have been pretty clean...for the most part...when I have complete control over the choice.  Evenings are the most difficult...when I have to find something to eat within the confines of what others want to do for dinner...I just do my best.

I Hate Days That Suck!

Today was one of those days...and a very long day at that!  At least there was some good news in all the madness...news that this madness may soon come to an end.  Just how soon will that be?  That is the question!

Must Get My Butt Back Into Gear!

I've been quite the lazy one when it comes to my exercise and food choices!  I must get back into gear, stat!  I'm kicking it off today...and may blog about it quite a bit to help keep me reminded of my goals.  Already enjoyed a fresh glass of homemade apple-strawberry juice, got in a 348 calorie burn doing some cardio weights, ordered a Gazelle for my work from home days (and to hopefully get others interested in doing some exercise).  Today, THIS is my motivation!

As I Hear The Thunder Rolling Outside...

Having A Case Of The Mundays?

Furby, oh Furby!

This was too funny to keep only on my Facebook!  I have a Furby...the Millennium edition I bought my daughter the Christmas of 1999.  This tells you how hold it is.  Even today, I can take the thing out of the cabinet in the kitchen, and it turns on! Scary!!!!

Certain People Today...

...have found that one nerve they shouldn't be on, and have firmly planted their feet on it!  THIS is why today I have on my "angry" Pandora playlist!
