Disney and a little tailgating...

First stop this weekend was Disneyland on Friday....Here's a little friend that joined us for opening day of the Holiday Mansion.
The Lucas family tailgate has commenced to full operational function with the arrival of the second bbq.  Yes! Nothing says family photo like a grilling picture in front of a stadium.

Dad really can smile. That aside, I think it is better for me to not miss family tailgates anymore. Seems like when I do, I end up bbq'ing the next year.  I kid. I really don't mind, it's fun and I enjoy it! =D  Nothing like cooking up your own bratwurst right? mmm mmm mmm.


Post game tailgate, always a must.Yes, this is my mom and yes, those are festive Christmas Reindeer antlers. They were in the back of my car and it just seemed like a fun idea to wear them. Besides, the Aztecs just beat a team 42-24 that runs with the likes of USC and UCLA...that alone is like Christmas (though on this night, my Aztecs could have beaten them too...Maybe!!) SDSU is good team, but sometimes the poor guys just barely fall by the way side. They earned their win that night and I have a good feeling they're going to have a magical year...!

To sum it up...I have always loved the family tailgate. It's always big, it's always fun.  After missing last year's tailgate (I was en route to SoCal from New York), I was certainly not going to miss this year's. I think it is safe to say that I should not travel in September...seriously.  By not traveling in September, this will ensure that I will not miss one of my favorite yearly family outings.


It was also nice to have the gang there...! Nothing says good times like family and friends. (...though the ones who could not make it were missed).

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...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...
