About Leos

A good blogger friend, ‘Another Maria‘ was kind enough to translate Justice and Jasmine’s horoscope based on their date and time of birth.  Here is the result.  The information was taken from “The Secret Language of Birthdays” by Gary Goldshneider & Joost Elffers. July Thirty-First: The Day of the Human Portrait Strengths: Observant, Expressive, Visual [...]

This is how we roll

This is how we roll

We recently swapped out our Graco travel system car seats with new Britax Boulevard seats.  Let me tell you, so far they have made a world of difference as far as Justice and Jasmine’s overall comfort and mood. First of all, the Graco seats were getting too small.  They always seem to get fussy after about [...]

Fairytale Town

Fairytale Town

Last weekend the weather cooperated and we were able to take Jasmine and Justice out of the house.  After breakfast we headed out to Fairytale Town in Sacramento.  We both haven’t been there but have seen it on our way to the Sacramento Zoo and have heard of this place on TV. We were pleasantly [...]

Happy New Year 2010!

Happy New Year 2010!

Before we get into the New Year, we’d just like to take a moment to reflect on 2009.  It was a year of ups and downs.  We rode out the bad economy while having Justice and Jasmine.  Sure, timing could have been better, but we don’t really control these things do we.  I guess it [...]

Don’t Talk To Strangers

Don’t Talk To Strangers

Growing up our teachers and parents would always say, ‘don’t talk to strangers’.   As a kid this was hard for me.  I trusted people too easily.  I didn’t know any better.  But now-a-days, this lesson doesn’t just apply to talking to strangers in person, it also covers talking to strangers on the internet. The internet [...]

California Budget Shortfall

California Budget Shortfall

We are now 13 days behind in coming up with a solution for California’s budget.  The impact to the State and citizens of California is devastating. In Sacramento alone our neighborhoods will suffer with the layoff of police and firefighters.  Our children will also suffer because of the cutback of programs and shut down of [...]

Do It Yourself!

Do It Yourself!

Have you ever assigned a task to someone only to find out later it’s something you should have done yourself?  I find myself wondering that so many times.  Funny thing is is that I assume that the other person understands my instructions.  I don’t want to give too much detail because I want to give [...]

Relax Sarah Palin

Relax Sarah Palin

Letter to Governor Palin – No need to quit your Alaskan Governor duties early.  You’re not going anywhere.  You’re not gaining any more experience by leaving your post early.  If it is your intention to run for the Presidential Election in 2012, then what’s the rush? For our country’s sake you should just chill and [...]

Later Michael!

Later Michael!

I keep thinking that the death of Michael Jackson is a big publicity stunt for his upcoming European tour.  Sad thing is he’s not waking up and he is truly gone.  When I first heard the news I was in disbelief.  I thought, he’s strong, he’ll bounce back.  He’s Michael! Regardless of the things that [...]

Bad Blogger

Bad Blogger

It’s funny how time flies when you’re having fun.  There are just so many cool things happening in and around the net that I just don’t have time to blog.  I click on one link that takes me to one site and another link for another.  By the time I know it, it’s time to [...]

Misguided Expectations

Misguided Expectations

Is it wrong to expect certain things from certain people?  For example, you expect the President of the United States, whoever that might be in any given year, to manage the country, protect us from harm, and look out for our well being (at least you hope).  Pretty straightforward right? To me, I expect certain [...]

Easter Regret

Easter Regret

Happy Easter All!  I wish I could say that I celebrated Easter this year, but I didn’t.  I’m happy that’s it’s here because of it’s spiritual meaning, I just wasn’t able to participate this season for one reason or another. I could blame it on the stress of the economy and the worries of the [...]
