i work out...

let me introduce you to ani reits. she works out and is so faitful about it i mean just check out her back woowza... well beside that she has been my friend since we were 3 and 4. we go way back. she and her husband the cheif are two of my dearest friends. they kinda treat me like one would treat their younger sister.. i like it cuz in my family im the oldest and so the experience i get with them is unique and fun.
now when ever ani reits and i get together just for the day lets say the cheif is always raising his eybrow.. what are you two going to get into is all he is thinking. tatoos was our last escapade.. not too big of a deal after work on a wednesday or maybe it was friday but non the less we make memories and we make them count. we are both mothers of 3. massage therapists, taxi drivers,vacation planners, runners,4-h moms,at the very least 2 jobs at once, teach dance (me) teach power cut (her), we have a love for music stevie nicks for starters.. we have a club, we lay purple eggs, over commit, learn how to set boundries, lived through divorce, supported each other through thick and thin... two funny things i will share about ani reits the first one being her amazing ablity to create make up. now she can go to the dollor store and get all kinds of ghetto make up and make it work and look great.. now trust me this is not by her choice , she was buying the expensive m.a.c makeup pre kids.. and spared no mercy on the make up. but now things change and we get to belly laugh when she only has bronzer to dust over her face and she feels like a pumpkin.. or when she starts mixing different makeup asking her kids to look in the car for anything they can find to possible work for a quick pick me up look. just last week one of her twins found her some mascera between the seats of her car.., she was stoked, and used it. its funny to me( if im lucky i get mascera and lip gloss on.) i love hearing her make up stories. the other thing which is not so funny but very appriciated by me is, her ablity to be honest with me. she gives it to me strait and with love and she speaks truth and patience and self respect to me. we have a friendship that will last for many moons. not much in this life compares to her. . . she is mighty and little and loving and finding her voice as a woman, and im proud to call her friend... and ani reits...surround yourself with an ani reits life will never be dull.(or flabby) and thats one to grow on. now pump it up.i work out!

wedding bells

so this weekend was fun.. very interesting and exciting i left the hilton and went to a really sweet couples wedding in sunriver. beautiful weather like a kiss from jesus it was amazing for february and the weather set the tone for the fun. my siblings and their signifigant others as well as myself ... stayed together in a condo. it was pure sweetness and a riot spending time with my sis and ani kates...it made the weekend.. fast eddy and JH wernt too bad either! not going to lie got a little sideways .. learned some big lessons, had fun but, really and truly had an amazing time. this is the year of the dragon and i do believe that dragon breathed fire all over my ass this monday am.! when all the kick offs, dance offs,rip offs,dork offs and dumb offs were over, i realized.. one true thing that has settled in my gut. it is, give me a revelation something that holds truth. sideways = nostalgia and glasses that dont see normal color.. as my good friend sere says red wine goggles! no nothing too crazy or crafty happened.. it was just a time that we (family) were able to grow as humans and love each other thru it all and choose no judgement and look for acceptance towards each other.and with the bottom line being, that we are not home yet.. and we try our asses off to experience a space that numbs us up and half heartedly creates a vision of what we think it may feel like in the heavenly realms...(think about it)
i loved my footloose dance w the DJcc and i adore fast eddy sleepin on the living room floor, sis and her cowboy, kates and her sweetness,myself and my unpredictibility.... but, im telling you we need a camera .. you cant make this stuff up.sum it up we rocked rolled and loved our little shin dig down in sunriver land...long live cowboys and gypsys.
