Good-bye September

Seriously!


Since when did life go so fast?  Life is speeding by and we have all become super men and women if you are the type that likes to be productive and go after the things you want in life.  

What is the most valuable commodity on the planet?  Time...  because once you lose it, you really lose it!  So make the most of every moment of every day.  If you work hard, then play hard because you know you need it and you probably deserve it.  

Be Passionate!  Dream Big!  
And Follow Your Dreams!

What's Smoking?

Ironically Ice Cream


I met the family that runs this ice cream making business and got to try some strawberry ice cream in the process.  Very delicious!  And they have dairy and lactose-free options which is nice to know.  It also makes for great entertainment as you watch the smoke start to billow during the ice cream making process.  Poof!  And there you have it!  Ice cream made to order!

Yum Yum Yummy

Ajumama!


Do you like street food?  Asian street food?  In particular Korean food?  I know I do!  I recently had the opportunity to try different dishes from this food truck and I have to say that I heartily give everything a thumbs up!  Others who tried their dishes also agreed.  Yummy!  To die for!  We all raved about the Nelson in particular however the kalbi, japchae, and mung bean pancakes were also very good!

Meconium What?

Psst...  


It's a baby's first poop!  I found out about this recently at a hospital while visiting newborn parents.  It's odd that I have never heard about this before but then again it's probably not something that most parents bring up.  However it is something that we have all done!  Even though you don't remember it...  butt...  it did come out.  It's hard to believe but there is a meconium gallery out there.

Fall is in the Air...

So Why Not Clean Out?


I say this because I have a lot of stuff I need to get rid of. It's amazing how over the years you accumulate so much stuff.  I mean lots of stuff.  Did I get my spring cleaning done?  Not so much.  Did I get my summer cleaning done? Not so much.  Will I get my fall cleaning done?  Hopefully yes but life happens.  Doesn't it?  All the time!  Life!  I will say this...  that the fall air does make you more motivated to get rid of stuff.  I need to get rid of clothes, furniture, knick knacks, books, etc.  Time for a major overhaul.  How about you?

9/11 Commemorative

Dublin Field of Honor


I remember watching the movie Non-Stop with the Dublin Coffman baseball team quite by chance at some point in my life.  It was a suspenseful movie that I got to watch in one of those dream lounger chairs.  The ending made me cry because it made me think of 9/11.  I usually like the movies that Liam Neeson has been in, especially the Taken series.

Funny how seeing a movie about a hijacked plane will bring back memories of 9/11.  I remember being at work that day and seeing a bunch of coworkers watching the TV monitors.  I went over to see what everyone was watching and saw a plane crash into the second building.  We were all standing there in shock looking at each other.

We were sent home early that day and I ran into maintenance workers that were working on my kitchen.  We started talking to each other about what was happening that day and began to cry.  I think most people remember what they were doing on this day and the people they spoke to.  I remember watching all the footage and thinking about the devastation in New York City.  It was horrific especially for those personally involved who did not know if their loved ones were impacted or survived.  I found out later that my brother had been in one of the buildings a week before this happened.

A friend and I stopped by this field during lunch one day to take pictures.  It was an awesome tribute to the victims of 9/11.  I personally hope that we never have to go through something of this nature and of this magnitude again but unfortunately this is the world we live in now.

No Ifs Ands or Butts

Except in Tokyo!


I only say this because I recently found out about a museum in Tokyo that features a giant-sized rendition of the human body that you can actually walk through.  Including parts of the body that you probably never even dreamed of walking through.  Like for instance, the butt!  Really?  Really!  Check it out for yourself.

Little Known Fact

Did you know...


That marijuana causes an increased risk of cancer?  This is such a controversial issue these days.  Just how badly do you want to get high?  And just how much do you want to get cancer?  Maybe not at all?  Are you a midnight toker?  Why?  Is it because your life is a joke?  This is no joking matter.  However it is your life!

The Extreme Couponer Strikes Again!

Because...


So depending on the day and the coupons I have I can save anywhere from twenty-five to seventy-five percent on groceries.  Recently I bought fifty dollars worth of groceries for about twenty dollars and before that I got about forty dollars worth of groceries for about three dollars.  If you like puzzles, it's a good way to strategize.
