25 Random Things...

1. I have a Buddha on my desk, and rub his belly at least 3 times a day for good luck.2. My favorite artist ever is Madonna. Her concerts make me cry. I think she is an amazing icon, and a business woman who hits the mark almost every time. Side note: I RARELY watch DVDs, but find time to squeeze her concert DVDs at least twice a week.3. I am a closet Twilight fan. The series made me temporarily insane for at least a month... I had to cut myself off. Its not a good feeling to be a grown adult, in love with a fictional character from a book made for teens.4. I have a weird obsession with shows about ghosts, but can't watch them alone. After I watch, I'm scared to be alone.5. I believe that I am going to win the lottery someday, and am borderline obsessed with it.6. I'm a procrastinator and am often staying up until 5am finishing projects that are due.7. I have the attention span of a goldfish, seriously. This must be why I have trouble sitting through movies.8. Late August, Sun Devil Football,cruising into fall, is my absolute favorite time of the year.9. The second I hear my dogs bark, I automatically think that someone is trying to rob my house. : )10. The only food chain I can stand is Macaroni Grill. The rest repulse me.11. My worse fear is loosing any of my teeth by some sort of trauma.12. I've been a vegetarian for 3 months.13. When I was 1... my parents had just had the apartment sprayed for roches... they then found me in a corner sucking on carpet.. this explains a lot. haha14. I don't know if interior design is truly my gig... my business is pretty successful, but I don't love it. I have been thinking about going back to school do be a naturopathic doctor.15. When I was six, I had a pet Chinchilla... It was hard to look him in the face after I accidentally pulled off half of his bushy tail. It was so beyond repulsive.16. I hate blow drying my hair. I do it maybe once every 2 months, and have realized how fortunate I am to have stick straight hair.17. Even if it is a few weeks late, I make sure I send a hand written note to anyone that has inspired me, or given me a sick gift... every single time.18. Scrabble is my favorite board game. 19.

Though I like my occasional splurge, I truly believe that the best things in life aren't things. 22. I am also obsessed with Gypsy's in Chandler. The flashy clothes, the expensive cars, the pigeon accent... Their lifestyle is crazy, and extremely hard to research on the Internet. 23. Everyday I make a gratitude list to keep myself in check.24.

The Last Few Weeks...

#1- Don't ever do the lemon cleanse. It could possibly be the most awful self inflicted pain anyone could ever experience. 

Almost 2 weeks ago, my aunt Denise Pena passed away. It was more emotional than I had anticipated. I have not really had to deal with death, so the concept still freaks me out, but her process seemed so natural. She fought and battled cancer so hard. She was one of the most positive people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She will obviously be missed, but her legacy and memory will be in my heart forever. 

My dad was on channel 10. It was so cute.

Even though the Cardinals didn't win the super bowl, they still shocked the world. I believe that the end of this season will give them the confidence they have needed for 60 years. They will be back next year. An article in the AZ Republic, made a great point.,"The super game played the Cardinals on Sunday night accomplished something that sports fans elsewhere can never really appreciate. It vanquished the dreaded "SOC". The Same Old Cardinals have flown the coop". I have a premonition that Kurt Warner will be back next year.

I am thankful for Sharpies... pretty stationary... the comedy in awkward situations... Larry David... new car smell feeling... Planet Earth in HD... the fact that we can do anything we want in America. We don't have to ride on the backs of anyone else.. we can create our own destinies. Starbucks didn't mess up my order good feeling. Clean house, OCD every chore is done feeling. Forgiving people for the past, but not having to invite them back in.
