do you ever have days where you subconsciously decide to nothing productive?

Today was that sort of day for me.

Prime example..... my house.

This is not staged...and no. Its not difficult to close a cupboard when your done with it. But, I think I chose not to today.

At about 2 I decided enough was enough and I should clean up.

But whats that up there? ohhhhh my waxing pot.

lets wax everything waxable on my body instead of cleaning up that day old bread.

good idea.

oh what, zuri?

You want me to watch Rugrats for 4 hours with you today?

No problem!

paint our nails and fill out for freebies on line? duh!

on top of that...lets fill dads computer with surprise photobooth pictures of us..he'll love them!

lots of them...

like 88 of them...

or 89

and heres 90

On top of all this Bronson and I are being plain nasty to one another today. He told me I broke the car door really mean when i didnt. like "ohhhhh good job, wes. you broke the door." and yesterday he got mad at me for kneading bread loudly while he was napping. so me being me, of course i throw few jabs back at him like "ohhhhh excuse me. im sooooo sorry for making this HOMEMADE BREAD just for you too loudly.".....all rude talk. so i think ive just been mad ever since the bread.

and then he texted me asking if i would wait to watch the new bachelor with him tonight and i replyed to him" yes, only if he stopped being a such a douche bag. and by the way, im thinking about going to school in utah just to get away from your grouchy-ness."

he said sorry.

i said sorry

so funny-but not really. i need to remember to be nice.

does anyone else have days like this?

please say yes.

please say yes.

For all those the we missed this holiday!

I must be back in LA.

because as we're lying in bed right now we hear things on the street below.

husband: "was that a duck?"

me: "no."

husband: "i swear it sounded just like a duck."

me: "it was a black lady bum."

husband: "oh."

I miss all my family dearly, but it sure is good to be back!

Man oh man.... where to start?

So, I'm in Utah!

We planned on coming out here for Christmas forever ago and have been soooo excited...counting down the days even. Then, three days before we are scheduled to leave we decide to go to Santa Monica and hang out. There, Bronson walks into his favorite store and ends up landing a job. WOOO HOOO! I couldnt be more happy for him.

But...and this is a big but.....the job needed him now or never. Meaning no vacation. No skiing. No Christmas. No husband.

And now I can say I fully understand the meaning of the phrase bittersweet.

So, Im out in Utah having a blast..but missing him like crazy-and even more sad that he's missing all this. Then Mr. Matt Clayton send me these photos and I get teary eyed. For real. Teary eyed.

Matt is a genius photographer and Bronson should quit everything he's got going on and go into male modeling or something. Right?

All I know is that I keep bursting into tears randomly.... Out of happiness/sadness... I think I just miss him bad.

...or maybe its cause I crashed my in laws car into a gargantuan pothole two days ago and popped their tire, bent their rim, and some sort of fluid was leaking out of their engine. I don't think Ive ever felt so bad. seriously.

Of course, theyre just happy were ok and are being wonderful as always-but I still cant help but cringe over it.

phewww.... Im looking forward to the day when my blogs consist of things I made for dinner and Zuris art or something. Im tired of having to blog about yucky days like the Verizon Store poopoo incident, and stressful job Changes, ect.

Until then, enjoy reading about the craziness that we currently call our life!

Shoot!

I'm involuntarily becoming granola. HEY! I can't help it!

After doing research on vitamins and minerals online a few months back-and then actually buying and consuming them regularly, I noticed a huge difference in how I feel, sleep, eat, and behave. I feel happier even. So, this launched me into doing even more reasearching and I came across this film called FoodMatters. Its all about nutrition and how Doctors are prescribing pills in place of proper nutrition because they simply were not taught nutrition.

Some interesting things I learned in this film:
-when any food is cooked past a certain temperature, its proven that your body actually attacks it like an invader in your body. Even if it is a healthy food.
- 2 handfuls of cashews a day is equivalent to the prescription Prozac.
-Niacin (vit. B-3) is linked to helping addicts cope with their addictive habits and even pull people out of depression.
-there is practically no such thing as intaking too many vitamins/minerals-contrary to the popular belief that it is bad for you to take a lot of vitamins and minerals.

So, of course I'm on this natural kick and feeling better than I've felt in long time and I come across this...

Another documentary about the meds the majority of women are put on during childbirth and the negative snowball affect they create.

I've always leaned towards natural things-ever since I was a teenager...and even when I was pregnant with Zuri I would teter with the thought of a more natural birth, but when it came down to it I was so scared of the unknown and the pain (plus stresses of working full time and buying a house 3 weeks before) that I just didnt really want to worry about it. But after having her and knowing what contractions feel like-and now being more educated on the process I kind of feel confident with going the natural route. And natural meaning no inducing, definitely no pitocin-Im not saying no epidural yet..we'll cross that bridge when were there...(pshhh im not even pregnant and not even thinking of getting pregnant anytime soon, but its nice to plan)...but I see the benefits of not having one.
And Im thinking a midwife assisted birth would be cool since it is their actual profession to assist birthing women compared to an OBGYN who is a trained surgeon punching in a time clock. In the film they actually point out that most C-sections in the US are at 4pm and 10pm....right when shifts are about to end in hospitals. I found this pretty telling. They want you in and out and dont want to miss dinner.

Anyways, both these are really interesting and informative films to watch if you're ever bored!
