THE CASE OF THE OVERDOSE

Sugar overdosage is becoming one of the highest increasing statistics in America today. Our society has become addicted to the likes of Mr. Pibb, Nestle Ice Cream, and all other realtives in the sugar family....harmless you say? What's a few treats every now and then? But what happens with overdose....what happens when you have too much.....,



of this??....



....things start to look up in the beginning...



....you may experience that blissful feeling called a "sugar high"



....you may even find yourself...



....becoming slightly more...



....affectionate....



....with the people around you...



.....but that's just the beginning...



...things start to go downhill very quickly....



....first come..."the munchies"



...then the need for more sugar...

 (The Addiction become almost instant)...



.....you may start to experience some 'odd' behavior...



...talking to inanimate objects...



....and hallucination....

...are just a few of the affects of "Sugar Overdose"



....you may even experience...



....a sense of growing...



...hostility...



....the signs and affects of the "Sugar Overdose"...



....are unmistakeable...



....but have no fear you poor unfortunate souls...cheer up...



...there is a cure to this disease!



....we just haven't found it yet.

~My Birthday~

                        my birthday. was filled with people i love and apart from those i miss. i blew out the candles and my wish was so easy this year.

:fillmyheartwithyou:

love always

me

we went driving....

....i'm not sure who let these guys drive...

what were were we thinking?......

during all this....

driving around...?

you know...i'm not even sure if we know. ;)

me and dea had a little fun of our own....

with our inside jokes...

and our little photo shoot ;).

they took me to the park, bought me cake, and made me a picnic :)

they gave me gifts....

...some more gifts

some gifts....

oh yes and some more gifts...:)

and few other things as well....;)

though we may have enjoyed our beverages....

...and utensils a little too much...;)

...after a while we figured we'd had enough for one night...

so we squished in the car...

...and headed back to watch 'motorcycle diaries'

....and so ends the night of "20". you gotta wonder....must 'all' good things end?

.....and in other news.....fahad's birthday was this past weekend...

....i guess nobody told him you're supposed to EAT the cake instead of WEAR it....;)

Washington

ok soooooo this is a VERY delayed post on my trip to washington (state) but hey better late than never right?

soooo i arrived on saturday...had a very relaxed weekend and then on monday we headed to Seattle where we picked up the Ledesma's cousin Alex....

not to be confused w/ "peeping Tom"

and we also picked up Missie (Kimmie's sister)

....and enjoyed....

....coffee and non-frapachinoized drinks....

...atop the seattle space needle.

"Just like the girls today with nothing to say, No more pigtails and pony rides, They're sophisticated They sip on lattes and have their eyes on the bigger prize..." ~Jewel

oh but don't worry! we didn't just drink coffee....

we were healthy....

...and drank water too....well...drank prolly isn't the most appropriate word.....but still...

so anyway....after our adventures atop the space needle and around seattle we ventured off to Ocean Shores on Wednesday-Thursday and enjoyed the luxries of having our own rooms....

...to ourselves.

the next morning we went around town and discovered the various....

...shops....

...and the treasures they hold.

course....that wasn't quite enough for us....

so we put our heads together and discovered....

...that riding mopeds along the beach...

...was way better than shopping.

so we struck our poses...

...and bonded....

...as differently as boys and girls do.

we laughed...

...we joked...

...and we rode.

*sigh* it was as a U2 says...."...a beautiful day..."

course no story would be complete without a bit of....

....war and...

...action to complete it with.

oh and lets not forget about the food....

...homemade cinnamon rolls. extra cinnamony.

can you think of a happier ending?

i can't.

love you all. goodmorning.

i wish i could take the stars with me. along with the beautiful melodies of my memories. i was thinking yesterday...if the world were any quieter...would we listen? amidst our tragedies that lay under these artificial street lights we find a truth. even if its only a moment in lasting. its there. you can't take that away from me. i could sit all night watching the people i love, sighing my thoughts away, and dreading and dreaming of tomorrow. i know i think too much. but you'll forgive me won't you?

time changes situations. time changes people. time changes anything....but not everything. i would drive all night to find that perfect sky. that sunrise that warms your soul. that open field filled with lavender fragrance. that inspirational wood. i would drive all night and all day searching for the edge of heaven....only to discover its been sitting next to me the entire time.

i know i mention it alot. but its only cause i know how much i'm going to miss what i'm leavning behind. i'd like to believe you're going to miss me too. but it'll never be more than mine. i've spent a lifetime letting go while trying to hold on that i'm not sure which one i'm doing anymore.

God never gives us more than we can handle. but know that i've questioned Him so many times about what he has given us to handle. i've always asked for strength....but *laugh* God i guess has a different way of bestowing what we need. instead of giving us the things we need/ask for he gives us circumstances....that build strength...or whatever else we need. and i know its good. but i can't help wishing it was easier.

i heard a story of man today. after being in a car crash with only 1% chance of living he continues on in his life with humor and gratitude. i wish i lived gratefully. *laugh* i guess that's just one more thing i'll have to learn.

after all the tears are spent,
when all that's left is the ashes of your heart
after the magic of night fades away
when all that's left is the scars of your sorrows
after all is said and done laughter sheds its light
when all seems lost they come to remind you...

that love is more than words and deeds. and though we tamper, play, and misuse its very being it is the one constant that will always remain, its that one beautiful thing that even we can't destroy.

so just in case you forgot...

i.love.you.
