Diego Ortiz was also a family man.
JOE HORN....NEIGHBOR OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!
Hey, if you play with fire...you're gonna get burned!
I truly wish that my reaction had been videotaped!
If you haven't seen the 2girls1cup video then you won't understand this. I'm gonna recommend that you DON'T click on the link though. It's AWFUL! You will never see anything more disgusting in your life....I guarantee it. However, since I have seen it, (and by the way, I do kind of like the music), I can totally appreciate this poor grandmothers reaction. Too funny!

The first step...
...is to admit that you have a problem. Hi. My name is Cerella and I'm what I like to call, for lack of a better term, a schizophrenic food addict. Confused? Please, let me explain.
I am overweight and have been for the vast majority of my life. I started dieting when I was in grade school and counting calories was the way I did it. Once I was in Junior High (I believe) or maybe even High School I started going to Weight Watchers. In between and since I have done soo many different diets that I can't even remember them all. Let's see...I've tried....
1. Counting Calories
2. Weight Watchers
3. Some diet where I seemed to always be eating a pita sandwich
4. Herbalife
5. Atkins
6. Fasting
7. Slim Fast
8. ??? I'm sure there are others, just can't remember
So, throughout my dieting life, the most successful way that I have lost weight is through Weight Watchers. ( I really am going to get to the point here, I swear! )
The thing that I love about WW is that you really can eat ANYTHING that you want, in moderation. However, if you want to get the most food for your points, you need to stick with artificial sweeteners, artificial butter, artificial syrup, artificial, artificial, ARTIFICIAL!!!
Most of the time when I'm not on a diet, I enjoy using real sugar, real butter and other NATURAL things. Aside from the fact that they taste soo darn good, I like the thought that I'm putting NON-MAN MADE PRODUCTS in my body. I know that I need to lose weight really bad, but the thought of going back on WW and eating the artificial stuff bums me out. I know that I could still do it and eat all natural but then I won't be able to eat as much food. Understand?
Okay, now to add even MORE complexity to this crazy dilemma, I am a huge, HUGE animal lover. I have been a member of Peta and other animal activist groups and have wanted to go vegetarian (ideally vegan) for a long time. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened for me yet. I sometimes go a length of time without meat either because I just don't crave it and other times because I'm soo wigged out that an animal had to be slaughtered to provide me with a particular meal. I imagine ( and have seen in Peta videos ) the fear and desperation in their eyes and it breaks my heart to the core.
Oh, you didn't think that the insanity was going to stop there did you? I have also been very interested in the gluten-free diet as well. There seems to be soo many benefits to this lifestyle of eating but I've never tried it and it just seems really hard.
NOW, can you see how I'm feeling just a wee bit schizo about this food situation?

My favorite things.
I'm soo excited that my friend Melissa and her husband Merle are back in town and we are gonna hang out tomorrow night! We haven't gotten together since we went to Mexico last August! Too long. Much too long. So, here's a cute little video that I found about favorite things.....since getting together with old friends IS indeed one of my favorite things. (Especially these two....NEVER a dull moment!)
ps...Okay, HOW did Russell's picture end up on this video? I just noticed that the dog in the video looks just like my little Russell man! Well, except for the fact that MY dog ONLY smiles and would NEVER show his teeth like that one. *yeah right*
This song makes me happy.
My husband is going to die by me saying this but the king in this video reminds me of him. Too funny! Hey, better the king than the blond 30 year old singing angel....just watch it, he's pretty funny!
He's just a squirrel tryin' to get a nut...so what's up?
After first seeing this little guy outside off my front porch, I was soo glad that I was able to run back in the house, grab my camera and still get these pics! Too cute!
Notice in the second picture that he is actually resting his chin on the nut! Well, that or it's in his mouth, but that COULDN'T be comfy.

Trivia Night.
Here are a few pics from last night's JWA Trivia Night. We had a lot of fun despite the incredibly hard questions!!! And I feel that should mention that Jeni is a wee bit timid....it's such a shame the way she shies away from the camera. :)
A Halloween post.
Here is my sister, Breahna...Tina & my brother, Dalton. They were all looking pretty fabulous this Halloween night! Did everyone have a lot of trick or treaters? We only had about 30! Can you believe that??? We had SOO much left over candy. Darn. I guess that I'll just have to eat it. :)
Here's a cool close-up of Breahna's makeup. She did a great job with the "blood!"

Psyched!
Jeni has got me all psyched with the Random Acts of Kindness! Would you like some suggestions? Here are a few....
1. Give a hug to a friend.
2. When drivers try to merge into your lane, let them in with a wave and a smile.
3. Pay a compliment at least once a day.
4. Give the gift of your smile.
5. Buy a stranger a free pizza.
6. Offer a couple of hours of free babysitting to parents.
7. Send a gift anonymously to a friend.
8. Slip a $20 bill to a person who you know is having financial difficulty.
9. Write a thank-you note to a mentor or someone who has influenced your life in a positive way.
10. Leave a bouquet of flowers on the desk of a colleague at work with whom you don't normally get along.
Bummed.
Man, for the whole past week I had been planning on going to the Life Chain downtown and then when the day finally comes, it's record breaking heat, and I just can't bear to stand out in the hot sun for an hour and a half. I was really bummed. To justify it, I reminded myself how I make a statement every time that I'm in my car with the bumper sticker "She's a child, not a choice" on my back window. Hopefully I will be able to make it next year with my newly adopted baby! No, we don't have the baby yet, but by this time next year we should!

Our 3 Year Wedding Anniversary!
John and I celebrated our 3rd Wedding Anniversary on Tuesday. Originally, I told him that I wanted to go out to eat because I didn't want to cook, but then decided it would be a lot more special if I just made dinner and we ate in. I had the table looking ALL nice with a tablecloth, candle and wine. Oh, and I pulled out the GOOD plate settings. Those are hand wash only so if THAT ain't love, I don't know what is!
Baybuh, I love you and thank you for being the wonderful husband that you are!
Okay, FINE Jeni....I'll blog!
Dang, I know that lately I may have been just a wee bit lackadaisical with the blog , but come on! Don't be such a hater, Jeni! I'll try to do better, I PROMISE! Just don't write me off just yet. K?
I LOOOOOOVE YOU! :)

My good friend Jeni was dining at a favorite Mexican restaurant of all of ours and when she was half way thru her Chicken Nachos she found a lacucaracha! Eeek! Can you imagine? He was just chillin' in the cheese sauce. CRRRRISPY! :) In fact I think that is what we shall call him. Crispy. He was one of the good guys. He took one for the team. In memory of Crispy....
