Favorite Book Quotes

No more vacation videos
Well, this is it as far as our videos go from our vacations. I wish we had more. I wish I could capture all of our wonderful memories on video. I will be sure to have video footage with all the amazing festivities coming up. Twilight video in the near future with my Edward and Jacob dolls? OH YES! I think so!
Cheeseburger in Paradise
Cheeseburger in Paradise is one of my absolute favorite places to eat. They have the best salads ever. I love their seasoned fries and their turkey burgers. Enjoy the videos of our visit there when I was in Hawaii.
:)
I am back home from all of my travels. It sure is nice to be home with my family and my pets. There really is no place like home. I had a lot of fun in Mexico and in Hawaii but I know I am going to have even more fun in the months to come.
This week I am going to be reunited with my Edward and Jacob. I cannot wait. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is going to be so good. I am waiting for the wedding scene, all the scenes occurring on Isle Esme and a whole lot of Jacob, Seth & Leah scenes. This is one of my favorite series of all time and even though it is almost coming to an end, I know it will never be over for me. I will always have the books to fall in love with all over again and again along with the movies.
Thanksgiving, black Friday, my birthday and the holidays are coming up really quick and I have all that to look forward to. There is just so much going on right now and I absolutely love it. I am so anxious for it all but I must be patient!
Drunk
The following is a video of my Mom & I drunk at Cabo Wabo when we were in Mexico a couple of weeks ago. You will see dancing, weirdness and my Mom having too much fun with Captain Jack and Edward Cullen.

Shopping in Hawaii
All my Mom & I do in Hawaii is shop. I am shopped out! I am so tired of walking everywhere and shopping! It was fun but I am DONE! I have to admit, there are some things that I can ONLY get here. For example, Christmas cards in Hawaiian with a hula dancer on the cover or honus and dolphins. Where in Sacramento do they sell things like that? I splurged and got a couple of "Hawaii" things from Victoria's Secret. I got a giant supermodel bag that has a hibiscus on it and says, "I love Hawaii" and got a white supermodel sweatshirt with a whole bunch of "Hawaiian" terms and places on it. In Sac, there isn't anything like that. I can only get it here and I am glad I did but now I am just done.
I want to hang out on the beach with the sun now for the rest of this trip. Maybe I can finally see a sea turtle for the first time....a real sea turtle! I doubt it but you never know...
Here is a link to a video that my Mom & I took today. She isn't nice but I love her. Enjoy the nonsense from us!

Wal Mart, Pirate ships & Mom
Another fun video. I think this is the last of it. I hope I didn't bore my readers/followers too much. The jumping in my Mom's leg happened to me too. It must have been the exercise. I have no idea. We exercised with Richard and we also walked SO MUCH! I don't think I have done that much walking in my life. On the ship we went up and down the stairs all the time. We went to the front of the ship, to the back of the ship. We were on the move all the time.
I had an amazing time in Mexico, on that cruise ship with my Mom and Richard Simmons. It was so much fun. I have so many memories that I am going to keep with me forever. My Mom really is my best friend. We do everything together and I love her so much.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta was very nice. I liked it a lot compared to Cabo. It wasn't dirty, no one bugged you as much and I didn't get kissed on the lips by some random. It was beautiful.
Ranting.
If you know anything about my Mom or myself, you know that we love to RANT every now and then. I think my Mom is worse than I am but I have been known to have my moments. Enjoy this little rant!
My Mom is drunk!
Yes, that was me being awful and burping like that & yes, my Mom was DRUNK off of one Margarita that we had at Cabo Wabo. All in all, a great time.
MY FAVORITE VIDEO!
This is one of my favorite videos ever. My Mom is too funny. I laugh really hard every time I see this. Cabo was bad. It really was. We made the best of it though.
I'm keeping my eye on you.
In this video, my Mom refers to Richard telling her he is going to keep his eye on her. He did tell her this. I still don't know why. I think it's because he likes her and she definitely made an impression on him!
Richard & Margie
Richard asked my Mom to come on stage and demonstrate with him how to stretch out your leg muscles to avoid cramps. We have all had leg cramps at some point and they are not fun. Some how this turned into a demonstration about toes, not smoking and vices! Needless to say, my Mom felt like Richard branded her for life because she revealed to everyone that she was in fact a smoker.
Day 1 videos of our Mexico cruise vacation
Above are links to two videos my Mom and I took on Day 1 of our cruise. It was a beautiful day at sea and with luck, we didn't get sea sick. Little did we know at this point what we got ourselves into going on this cruise with Richard....

Escape & Shopping
Yesterday was hard for some reason. I didn't have any patience when it came to traveling. I just wanted to be in Hawaii and be done with it. The 5 hour flight was the longest 5 hours ever. At least it seemed like it. TSA had me take off all my jewelry while going through security, I couldn't eat any of the food on the flight because the thought of it made me sick and my mom and I both were in some kind of mood. I am so glad to be here and settled. I love that we come here. We love it here. I often ask myself why I don't just live here already but to be honest, this is my escape. I couldn't live here. My home is in Sacramento with my family and pets. My mom & I do have the best time in Hawaii. There are tons of pictures, many laughs and major bonding.
This time around, it is just the two of us. We plan on shopping a lot. Hello, Christmas is right around the corner and I have so many things to get for my loved ones! I am excited for doing absolutely nothing. This is what this trip is all about. I need the relaxation. I just hope my mom and I don't bump heads and that we just have a good time. I will do my part. I hope she does hers as well.
I am going to focus on today and enjoy every minute of it. We hang loose here in Hawaii and that is exactly what I intend to do. It is going to be one of those laid back, chill kind of days.

Lucky
To the left is a picture of me in Cabo San Lucas. I got randomly kissed on the lips from some strange man after my Mom and I bought some shirts from his store. It was weird...and gross. Maybe they do that kind of thing in Mexico...I don't know.Tomorrow around this time, I will be on a flight to Hawaii. I am one lucky girl to be able to go to Hawaii as often as I do. Some people dream about going there and never make it. I am fortunate to have my Mom. She has blessed me with this amazing life. I love her so much. Traveling is something I always wanted to do and here I am doing it. I have already been to Hawaii, New York, Vegas and Mexico this year alone. I can't wait to see what the years ahead hold. One day I would love to go to Scotland, Italy, Japan and even the Philippines. There is so much this world has to offer and I can't wait to explore it all.

New
I am new to blogging. I decided I better get started on this because my friends and family are using this tool to update loved ones with what is going on in their lives. I love this idea. Our lives are so busy all the time and whenever we can share a story or a photo, that allows us to keep in touch. I look forward to hearing all the wonderful stories about my friends and family. I LOVE pictures so I also look forward to seeing those.
