Wanting to get out of the house for some fresh air, I decided to make my daughter to The Getty Museum on a bright sun shiny day. My daughter came to one conclusion out of the entire experience….”This man had a thing for naked men!” Ay yi yi!

Lately I have been on a hamburger with fried egg kick. For some reason once you put an egg on a hamburger it takes it to a whole other level. Check out the two I have had so far. I’m still dreaming of the one I had at Cafe Entourage.

Oh my goodness people. I had my first near death experience yesterday evening. I was at the gym working on my Sade fitness when my head and hands started to tingle. I thought maybe I was being too over zealous so I slowed down but the feeling started getting worse. So I stopped running and proceeded to go to a weight machine so I could sit down. I didn’t want to go into a full panic because other people were working out in there….I’m easily embarrassed. Then I noticed my tounge starting to swell!I knew it was time to go. I called my Mom to tell her something did not feel right and what should I do. She told me, “Call 9-1-1” so after I asked her to give me the number… (j/k) I proceeded to call 9-1-1 while walking back to my house. My daughter was home and when she answered the door the first words out of her mouth was “oh my gosh Mommy, what’s wrong!” Now I was in a full panic. 911 was on the line and at this point I couldn’t even talk clearly. I had to give them my address three times just to get it right. I walked into the bathroom to see how I was looking….I looked like a freaking monster! So now I’m in between trying to stay calm for my daughter’s sake and wanting to cry! I have to tell you, in retrospect, that in between must have looked hilarious! Anyhoo, the paramedics and firemen came…yes all 6 of them to my rescue (it really is just my luck to be surrounded by firemen and I just happen to look like jabba the hut at that moment.) Long story short, I’m fine now. I had an allergic reaction to some PF Changs Kung Pao shrimp I ate before I went to work out. I never had an allergic reaction in my life! And I have to say it was terrifying.
Now that the adrenaline has gone away and I am able to sit and ponder it, I have all sorts of emotions. The “what ifs” and the “how fortunates.” When we got home from the ER my daughter said “see it’s true mommy, you should always let people know how you feel and let them know you love them because you never know what is going to happen today or tomorrow.” It is so true. We just never know. So now I choose to be in the moment. When my daughter kisses me goodnight I’m usually watching TV or on the computer and I usually kiss her back while shooing her off at the same time. I will now stop what I am doing turn to her and take it all in. I needed this little awakening becasue lately I’ve been feeling a little down and lost but nothing brings your spirit back to life like a little “Hello God, It’s me” moment… 🙂
