Charley Brown's...Sunday Brunch of Buffet Fun...

I believe the last one in it's chain, Charley Brown's really defines the Sunday brunch buffet. Whether you wear your Sunday best or your Sunday favorite pants complete with elastic band, you won't be disappointed.

Charley Brown's, located off the 60 freeway at San Gabriel Blvd, has been a favorite gathering place for my friends and I for quite some time now.

The food ranges from a Waffle bar, complete with One of THE BEST Banana's Foster EVER, a table with salad, fruits, salmon, a plentiful dessert table that shares space with milk, juices and cereal, another table with standard breakfast choices, plus some Mexican dishes, plus stations with freshly sliced roast beef, ham and sometimes turkey. This station also includes and omelette and fajita bar.

There lease expires in 5 years (yes, my sister asked, lol) but I hope beyond all hope, that they renew, or sadly, one of the best places for the Sunday Brunch buffets, will officially be  extinct. :(

Now, Happy Sunday...I am off to get my brunch on...!

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Journey to 40 Day 1.

Well the title is misleading, because my Journey to 40 began on January 10th, but in an attempt to turn my blog into something more than just a random thought or picture, I decided that maybe if I document my day to day trials of weight loss and getting my heart into better shape, it might help me to stay motivated, because this isn't just about being healthy and fit, this is about saving my life. I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot.  It's several things, but most importantly it entails a hole in my heart that in my case was coupled with a crushed valve.  I had a dacron patch placed on my heart's hole (insert pun or joke here) and according to recent tests, the pig valve I thought I had, turned out to be a reconstructed valve.  At least that is what we all have come to believe and I prefer to not be opened up to find out.  That said, my life has always been slightly different than other kids. For what seemed like an eternity, but was only about 8-9 years, I walke...

Coping in the aftermath...mama is gone...

People keep asking me, "how are you?", or they keep saying, "I can't believe how strong you are", or "how well you are holding up", but the truth is, I feel like a mess inside.  I'm no different than anyone else though. I hurt, I feel pain, I cry. I mourn, but I suffered through depression for twenty years, many of them without medication and I learned that by suppressing my feelings, they just fester and burst out like a bottle of Coke that's been shaken and the cap left on.  I'm not strong, I just have a good, tight fitting mask, that comes off every night when I crawl into bed and goes on every morning before I step out of my room. Actually I take that back. I do feel like I have gained a little bit of something I never had before, my Mama's strength and the I'm-not-going-to-take-your-sh*t-attitude.  Yeah, she wasn't big on swearing, hence the *.  I guess it is a little shout out to her, since I am sure that even though I ...
