It's a beautiful day...

I am feeling really awesome right now. If I was a gambler I think I'd be on my way to Vegas right now- Road trip! Unfortunately, mama can't bring the babies in the casino. Too Bad

I have finally made a decision about beauty school. I am gonna do it. After 600 hours of work I will become an esthetician. This is so exciting for me. To be totally honest, a career in the beauty industry never really seemed like an option for me. Too Risky. Ironically enough, I had to grow into the idea and now that I am older it seems like a perfect fit. I start classes in a week and a half so be prepared to be beautified!

Jump! Van Halen is on tour

Wow, I cannot believe that the Van Halen brothers have actually managed to stop the shit talking long enough to hold a national tour together. I was too sure that Diamond Dave was blowing smoke up our asses when he first mentioned a reunion tour. But then there was the news conference - sans Mike Anthony- and I became really agitated.

Just to give you a little history on me and my familia, my dad was a spandex wearing, aqua net rocker back in the 80's. Ok, he still is a rocker at heart, but my poor daddy has mellowed a bit in his older years. Now it's all about cover songs and blues tracks which aren't as exciting, yet still great, just different. Anyway, the band he played in is called Miraj. He is the bassist. They were named even before the Las Vegas Casino- Mirage. They played Hollywood in the time of drugs and debauchery (wait a minute, has there ever been any other?) and in the mid 80's became the house band at the old Gazzarri's which is now the Key Club. I hear they had a great following and didn't have to try hard to blow the house down.

Unfortunately, you need more than just good looks and a full house to make it in this business. While Miraj was busy partying, bands like Van Halen were busy promoting- What a novel idea! - and look where they are today. Hard feelings aside, Miraj did hang with VH for a while. Tony, dad's guitar player even played in a band with Mike Anthony for a while before this scene. They had kept in contact, primarily with Mike and so when this "reunion" tour was scheduled we all had to have mixed feelings about it.

I told myself that after years of hearing stories about Mike and VH I was not having this tour. I was mad to see Dave there acting like he never missed a beat. Ironically enough, my husband and I have always considered ourselves David Lee Roth Van Haleners, Hagar being a bit too, um, soft maybe? Aside from that, this whole thing threw me for a loop. Wolfgang on bass. Yes, the kid does have great genes. No, he is only 15, can pure talent outweigh years of experience? And why the hell isn't Mike involved? He seems like a good enough guy! Oh, my head was spinning. I didn't know what to think. I had to let it absorb.

So here I am, weeks later, concerts sold out. I am getting used to the idea and even a bit intrigued. I hear that Wolfie is a pretty good showman. I guess it runs in the family. I read an article about Mike Anthony and it gave the impression that he is ok with the deal. That made me feel better- until I went on ebay to price tickets. Oh my goodness, you mean my dad could have been pulling in those numbers? Thanks Dad!!!! I could have been living large!!


Ps. Everything happens for a reason. I am so glad I had my dad around and I didn't have to try and buy one later. If you want to check out Miraj 2007 here is their myspace page http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=240026647

Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz!

Just kidding, really....

I've kinda been in a mood lately where I feel that I can do anything. I feel like I can have the big house, nice cars, shopping sprees, etc. and I know how to do it, I just don't know how I'm gonna do it! I guess I would say that I am being ambitious. I want to start a business, cradle it from the ground up and watch it flourish with the best of them. Now, the only thing holding me back is the fact that I have no ideas on what to do.

First of all, I think that it is that damn Britney's fault! If you have been living under a rock for the last 3 months, just turn on the damn television. I am inundated with that hopeless excuse for a pop star and mother and she is now invading my subconcious. So I'm thinking, "If she can do it, well damn it, I can too!" The girl is not a real singer, maybe amateur at best with really talented producers, she is definitely not a songwriter, and probably can't play an instrument to save her life. This is America's newest fascination and it makes me sad.

It really does affect me that we give her as much attention as we do. Britney Spears is living proof splattered everywhere of the drugs and dependency that infect our celebrities behind closed doors. I could be wrong. She could just be the poster child for self-absorbed, mentally challenged superstar, but I highly doubt it. I really hope that she is setting the example against drugs and not paving the way for the new batch of teenage girls. It is sad to see someone apparently have it all, yet throw it all away. I am going to take one for the team and volunteer to bitch slap her and yell, "Wake the f*** up, beeatch! You're f***ing insane!!" Then we'll have a nice talk over 2 burrito supremes at the local Taco Bell...

Wow, that would feel really good!

Anyway, there I go talking about her,too. Now I'm just as bad as everyone else. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Ok now, I did some homework on Work From Home schemes and came to the conclusion once again that they are all full of crap. Of course, no easy way out and nothing but grunt work behind becoming a millionaire. For now I will keep searching for that perfect plan on sale now for $49.99 and when I find it I will definitely let you in on it. For the really low price of $25 dollars.

I'm back in the swing of things!

Ok.....I think that I've got my head on straight now! I got married, pissed some people off, went to the beach and talked some shit. Wow, do I feel better now!

First things first, I had to deal with a couple of self-absorbed alchoholics that I used to call my friends. Unfortunately, my so-called sister-in-law won't just go away, but we have made peace for now. We used to hang out ALOT, but her idea of fun is partying like Lindsay Lohan- almost a direct quote!- and mine is a bit like being in a preschool. I have too many things to worry about and trying to dodge police while on a drug and alcohol induced rampage is no longer my cup of tea. Why can't anyone understand my pain?

Seriously now, I am a mother of 3.... what does she expect from me?! I am a young mom, but a responsible one. My headstone will read: " mother, daughter, wife, responsible one".

Oh, and as for that other heina, I will not speak of her again. When I say "It's all about me"on my bachelorette weekend I mean that it is all about me. DO NOT try and retaliate on your myspace page that I obviously don't read..... Oh, and please grow your hair out, now you really look like a potato face!

whew!! glad to finally get that off my chest...... for now!!!! Did I forget to mention the hilarious pictures from that fateful weekend? Every smart girl needs to cover her ass from shitty little leeches that might keep coming back. whahahahah, whaahahahahaha! (evil laughing)

Alright, I'm just about ready for playtime in our new playhouse and kitchen set. I love the entrees they serve there!

Hello, Goodbye!!!

Well, well, well..... blog post #1. I am still unsure if this will be just another passing fad, or maybe something like this could stick around for a while. I have had too much shit going on lately and I think that my brain needs to be drained. I figure that each time I can write down my thoughts and ideas and release them into the great open it greatly decreases the chances that I blow up on some unsuspecting fool ( or the first unsuspecting fool, depending on the day).

So, anyway, I have had the most interesting weekend in forever. In this case however, it's not the good kind of interesting, it's the kind of interesting that makes you look back and say, "what the fuck just happened?...." and now I am left contemplating and complaining and just plain talking shit.

I'm getting married on June 16th, next month, to the father of my 3 little girls. Yes, I know that this must sound strange, but I am from Southern California and if I really explained myself I'm sure you would understand our logic. It is such a loving time of our lives right now. My man is my best friend and lover and it is even more evident now after almost 10 years together. Because we love and TRUST each other so much my bachelorette weekend in Vegas wasn't even an issue for him. Actually, I was even able to laugh with him about the stupid shit that happened.

***Question: WHY DO GIRLS LOVE THE DRAMA SO?********
I guess that the best way to test a friendship is to send a bunch of girls to vegas together, give them too much alcohol and not enough space and watch what happens. I am really pissed off at two of my bridesmaids and there is only 3 weeks until my wedding. I wish I could 86 one of them from my wedding for good, but she already bought the dress. The other one is my fiance's sister, well, step-sister, but he doesn't recognize the step, damn it!! Oh, and as ironic as it is, the step-sis still hasn't bought her dress yet! Convenient: yes. Practical: no. That move would make me a worse person than the bitch that ruined my weekend. Ok, one of these girls totally stole all of my thunder last weekend and then had the nerve to call me a hypocrite and a bad friend. This person is not the easily disposible one. So now it is non-stop drama and it is all over the phone. Please just leave me the fuck alone, I don't want to talk about your dumb, drunk ass anymore. It is all about me, I AM THE BRIDE!!!!
