New Year~!
So, since I have never not been a student, surprise, I have always been on the September as the beginning of my year train... So, I like to make my "new year's resolutions" around this time....However, instead of boring you with a list about myself...ewe...I decided I will take it one at a time....Today's goal...blog more ;~)
For my facebook family...I have decided to give facebook a rest for the next month to finish up school. I often find myself wasting time when I do not want to do schoolwork ;). So if you want to catch up with me, either email (thedizons@aol.com) or call.... and follow my blog which I will have more time for now :) ...either click "main home" to see the entire blog...or type in highheelsandgymshoes.blogspot.com ..clicking on this link will only take you to this post...later gator...
So...funny story about one of my goals to be shared later...so yesterday in church we had a great message. It was about how when you are on top of the mountain, or have a moment of great success, that we become very vulnerable. We are an easy target for the prey, or satin. He likes to hit us when we are up because we have the greatest distance to fall. With that being said, me and Jordon have been eating very healthy lately. Last night I decided to make spaghetti. I looked in my "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook to see what veggies I could add to the sauce without affecting the flavor. I saw squash and carrots. So I steamed both and blended them up. Then I began to make dinner. Seeing as Jordon is home a lot now, our dinners are often a team effort, or okay, lets face it, I make the salad if I am lucky...But pasta is my thing, I, usually, make it much better than he can (right here you know where I am going with this). So he says, here let me help you...I give him a totally hard time (after a glass of wine on my part) about how I am so good at pasta, so confident, so MUCH better than him...he says okay I am sitting right here and watching you make the whole dinner...I say GOOD. Well here I am on top of my mountain....just waiting to fall... I put all the ingredients together, feeling great that I added so many healthy things to my sauce...then I go in for the taste test. Now, let me remind you that I grew up eating nothing of flavor because I was sooo picky, therefore, I can eat bland things. This sauce was beyond bland...it tasted as I think cauliflower baby food would taste...not that great. So I swallow my pride...look at Jordon with my sad eyes and say, come taste test and see what you would add...oh did he give me a hard time...blah...I finally convince him to come over...he worked his magic. After about adding everything in our spice cupboard and about a half a bottle of economy size wine...we did a second taste test..much better...and the dinner worked out okay...but next time he wants to help, I guess I'll let him. And maybe I shouldn't add a whole entire summer squash and a whole bag of carrots and a whole can of tomatoes to a sauce...I'm just not that good

video bloggin'
okay, so I decided to start doing a few video blogs...here is my first one... just a tester ;0
AHHH!!
Sorry bloggypoos I have been MIA...I have had a lot going on...I am back in the D town, hanin with the home boy. Unfortunately, he was badly injured in the game against the Stealers and is now resting for the fall...but to look on the positive side, I get to spend more time with him! And...we have been having fun! We went to the drive in movies, on a lot of dates, and taken Champ on a million walks! I love having my baby with me :)...Also, I have been finishing up two classes this week the last few weeks, I have one more in Sept. and then..dun dun dun...I will be a real teacher :)...kindergarten here I come!...well not for awhile, but someday!
DIsNeY!!
So...I'm wondering where the recession is because we went to Disney land recently and it was crazy!!! So much fun, but a lot of people spending a lot of money!!! A great day though~!
Finally!
Okay, so the sun has been non existent the last few weeks! I see it peeking today, maybe I'll go burn~! The topic of sun burns(or nice tans ;) ) is one of particular interest to me... I mean I look at pictures of my family and friends from when they were young in their twenties during the 70s & 80s and they look hot!...& tan!...but now, they tell us "ahhhhh don't burn, don't go in the sun, I used to and now I have wrinkles!" ...so I listen and then I look at my photos and unless I dragged myself into the airbrush booth and dished out about 35 bucks I look like a pale ghost! If you can even see me, definitely not pictures I want to keep around! I think it's a conspiracy against the younger generation... (I do know that burning is not good...;) )
NewS of ThE daY..How not to be boring...
Thanks to Kathie Lee & Hoda...we can learn how not to be boring...
How not to be boring: this is for people who think they are fascinating but they're not*Listen more than you talk
*Stop talking if you are boring yourself
*Know historical anecdotes (?what, those people are boring)*We don't like the person who knows everything
*Drawn out pauses are the best time to talk about yourself (pause..."so, I am like really smart")*If someone interrupts your story.. give it up(then I guess listen to them?)
*Limit story to five minutes....please!
*Weird people with weird pets...okay so all of them I like but this one...I think these people might be interesting..but decide for yourself
LonELY...
Me and Champ are all alone now! Everyone is gone....however, we do have another little furry friend staying with us~ we have calle for the week, Champ's girlfriend! So, today my run consisted of dragging around two golden retreivers, blah! Not to mention I am already bored...I layed out for awhile, boring, watched tv, pretty little liars(which I adore)... then got bored....so...the answer~ Shopping! retail therapy~ always a winner! no longer bored ;)
shoots bra...where you going?
So my flyin' hawaiian leaves me tomorrow to go back to 8 mile... :(... Wish him good luck in training camp! Go Lions! ...it's going to be a great season! (say hi to rabbit for me ;) )
I wanna be a Billionaire...
So, I'm having a hard time figuring out how Travie & Bruno (rappers/singers of "Billionaire") are going to end the recession with their billion...they say that they can buy all the things they never had...be rich like Oprah, adopt babies who never had s***...give away mercedes'...do more than fema did in katrina...but then they say "we are in recession" and we will "take a crack at it" ..."probably take whats left [of my money] and just split it up, so everyone that I love can have a couple bucks"...while they did mention that they were in a whole new tax bracket...I think they forgot that they are already down to 1/2 billion...seems like they have a lot to do before they split it up...Can't wait to get my check ;) (I do~however~like this song haha)
Driving~
Ok totally sick of driving!! And if you know us it won't be a surprise to know that of course we didn't reserve a hotel room in San Fran in advance~nope we waited...until this drive... So now I'm cranky because I have no patience for technology and have to book a room when the service is going in and out and I keep losing everything... Mood~ impatient :/! Can't wait to show uke the city though!!
Going up North!
So, finally my husband decided to buckle down and visit my roots...we leave tomorrow morning! Ok babe, I know that one round table and twenty acres that someone else owns now does not sound that appealing, but you will love it...maybe..., I mean you have to, we've been together long enough to visit my home...plus...I think now there's a quiznos ;). We leave tomorrow morning! Peace out B******S!
VEgAs!
Okay, so me and jordon are getting old! We thought we were so cool by planning not one, but two trips to Vegas this July~ wrong! after three nights of partying in Vegas we came home did no nothing for about 5 days~ we canned the second trip, canned going out in San Diego with friends...just about everything...we are finally feeling better...lets see where we went wrong?
