This just so happens to be one of those emails we get on a regular basis that says you should forward to a 100 people in 100 seconds and your prince charming will come riding up on a horse. Yeah, well, no prince charming, no need to forward, just enjoy and always remember to smile =)

Except for a bump in the road, today has been a good day =)

Today's song: "Danza Kuduro" Don Omar & Lucenzo.
Find someone to dance with and enjoy =)

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history when you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day...

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Bud Lite than Kay.

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. Sometimes I'll look down at my cell phone 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

Channeling the Inner Chefs :)

I've been at this cake thing for over three years now (Wow! Time flies!) and each cake differs from the next. This allows the mommy to have a truly unique gift each and every time. Over the years, my creativity has been channeled from a very good friend of mine, Laura. She is my muse and inspiration when it comes to scrap-booking and creativity or even a helping hand with the hot glue gun :-)

And I guess over time, I've managed to rub off on her as well.

Here is her creation :-)

Good job!! :-)

Baby Shower Diaper Cake Centerpieces

A while ago, I meant a mommy to be who was planning her son's baby shower. Her vision was inspired by a cake she saw online and we took it a step further. After a couple of weeks of hard work, the mommy's vision and our collaboration, we designed 13 gorgeous centerpieces for the baby shower. And here they are:

Final look of the hall was gorgeous! The baby boy decided it was his time and arrived two days before his baby shower. He's doing great and mommy is enjoying her time with her little angel. The baby shower was great! Good food, great music and lots of love from everyone who came. Thank you for inviting me and congratulations on your baby boy! :)

Life... Or Something Like It.

Every so often, life throws us a curve ball. What do you do? Do you run from the opportunity and the change or do you embrace it?

I found this picture online, so here is some food for thought:

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful, it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful, it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident, it is inspiriting because the challenge exists to make things better."
- King Whitney Jr.

And when new opportunities come up,

is the grass really greener on the other side?

How many times have you regretted a decision you've made after choosing what you thought would be better in the end?

I've learned that things happen for a reason... Never regret anything that once made you smile. Never fight for something that ever made you cry. Always appreciate what you have and never envy anyone else. Your simple pleasure may be something they may be missing.

I'd like to think that the grass is greener on MY side :)

Cuddles, Rest in Peace My Little Cutie

Last year in September, a little rat-looking creature was placed next to me in bed around 3 o'clock in the morning. My initial response was "no way, no how, not into my bed!" But within a minute, the little critter was curled up in bed with me, close to my body trying to get warm. How was I supposed to say no? She was so cute and so cuddly :) And so started our journey for the next year of going for walks, cuddling in bed or on the couch, hiding under anything that would become a comforter for her, taking her outside to go pee and her laying in the sun instead and being frustrated with the fact that she was too stubborn to eat dog food or certain foods that we gave her. She hated meeting new people and barked up a storm, swearing she was much bigger than her four pound little self. I'm not really sure when she was born, but according to her previous owner, she was 2 when I got her. About two months ago, she started limping and not feeling like her rowdy little self, so I took her to the vet. They did some blood work and realized she needed further testing. So, we went back for more blood testing, but the results weren't good. She was diagnosed with lymphatic leukemia and aside from chemo that would only help her stay with us for less than a year, there was really nothing that they could do for her. Over the last two weeks, we fed her pain medication so she would at least be in less pain and selfishly hoped that she would pull through for a little longer. Unfortunately, Sunday night, we came home to find her sleeping on a pillow in the corner where we knew that if she was laying in that particular spot, she was cranky. We took her to her water bowl and she took a few sips. I sat down with her in my lap, she laid down on her side and I rubbed her gently. She felt weak and looked up at me and my mom without being able to lift her little head. About two minutes later, as I rubbed her belly, she crossed her front two paws and let out one last breath. A few minutes before 11 o'clock on Sunday night, my baby Cuddles passed away in my arms. I would be lying if I said that I was able to write this without tears falling from my eyes like I have been for the last two days... I miss her little body curling up next to my leg to keep warm and sleep, coming home from work and taking a nap together since all she loved to do was sleep, her rubbing her little paws on the side of the bed begging to be picked up so she can go under the covers too... She was a brave little girl and held on until the very end, waiting for us to come home and see her one last time even if just for a couple of minutes. I love you my baby buggie, I miss you like crazy! Rest in peace, my snuggle bunny... Mommy loves you!!
