Johnny's angel

We don't get the Sundance channel but for some reason I'm able to watch their OnDemand shows...a couple nights ago I watched the first part of "Pop Star on Ice", the documentary on Johnny Weir. There's also a newer reality show about him called "Be Good Johnny Weir" but that probably won't be on OnDemand for awhile. Boo! =( Is it crazy to say I have a little girly crush on him? There have been previous times where I liked more um...."feminine" if you will....guys. I don't know what it is about them. The way they can pull off being more girly than I could ever be is probably what attracts me to them the most. Which is odd...considering who I married. Ryan is probably the most masculine man I've ever known. (Besides my Daddy, of course!)

Johnny is just so flippin adorable with his cute little face and his eyelashes and the random things he talks about. Plus he's so graceful on the ice! What a great figure skater. =) Listen to me....I sound like a 13 year old!

Well watch this and tell me he does not amaze you. Or if he's not for you, that's cool too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnUMOrd_ANI Girls, tell me I'm not alone in this weird fascination I have for sparkly boys. ;)

Also, here's the commercial for his new show. Looks just fabulous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhO-eruh6b8&feature=response_watch

Late update! Je suis désolée!

Dobroye utro! As I'm typing I'm also looking up information about Johnny Weir. Does anybody else like him or am I just crazy? I started following him on Twitter a couple days ago and was watching old videos on Youtube of him skating. He's so flippin cute! I don't know why I like him so much. On Wikipedia, it says he's a "Russophile" which means someone that is in love with the Russian culture/language. So does that mean I'm a "Francophile"? Why does that sound kind of perverted? Haha! Anyway, I don't know why but ever since I was 5 years old I've always wanted to be fluent in French and go to Paris. My French is pretty rusty nowadays but I could hold lengthy conversations while in high school and college. ::sigh:: When I was 17, I went to Paris with my high school French class. I want to go back so desperately but I don't see myself traveling until I'm old and wrinkly. C'est la vie!
Okay I'm off topic now. So cleaning the house and making sure it stays clean during the day plus watching the Olympics at night while still trying to stick to Barrett's dinner/bath/bedtime schedule has me busy so I haven't had a chance to write. The boys are coloring pictures for Great Grandma right now and being so nice and quiet so I decided now would be a good chance to tell you about my past days!
On Saturday, my mom and I went to see the San Francisco Ballet. They did "Balanchine Masterworks" which was lovely as usual. Oh! Before the ballet, we stopped by a little restaurant up the street of the opera house called the Gyro King. We got chicken gyros and hummus and it was DEEEEElicious!
The next day was Valentine's day and I made Barrett and Ryan a little brunch made of strawberries, maple sausages, and French toast that I cut into heart shapes. =) Then later that night, we had a drive by present shooting! Well...my mom sent me a text message earlier that day asking if she could stop by but my phone was on silent so I never noticed it. So when our doorbell rang that evening, we thought it was John with Ryan's PS3 but instead it was my Mommy's lovely face along with a bag full o' goodies! A little caterpillar toy for Barrett, yummy cookies from Trader Joe's, a heart box of chocolate, hummus and pita bread (my favorite!), and a necklace for me that says "Daughter Mother Friend". It's so pretty. My Mom is the best! =)
*Well...never mind about peace and quiet! Barrett needed his diaper changed just now. Then when I went into his room, I saw that the boys piled all of the toys in his crib. When in heaven's name were they able to do THAT? It took awhile to tell them to put them away. THEN I had to empty out Barrett's diaper genie in the outside trash, and found the neighbor from across the street's SCARY dog barking at me. He escaped and was standing on the street just barking at me about ready to attack! His owners are not home so I don't know what I should do. Good thing Barrett wasn't outside with me. Dogs are my favorite animal but THIS dog is a little sketchy to me. =(
This was just a rambling entry. Ma vie est folle! Eh..not really. It's actually quite boring but when one odd thing after another odd thing happens it can seem like it. TGIF everyone! Bon week-end! =)

Tu amor....I will always be tu amor....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6WjGKmomXE I had this song stuck in my head as I was falling asleep last night. Then I started daydreaming (is it still called that at night?) and choreographing a lyrical dance in my head to the song. I haven't taken dance classes in years! I used to be such a hardcore ballerina. LOL! Anyway...I started thinking if I knew of any good male dancers that could dance it with me. I could think of 2 guys that I used to take classes with in Napa but I think they've moved far away. I'm such a weirdo sometimes. Who thinks of these things? =P
When I finally fell asleep, I had a dream that I and some unknown male dancer were dancing the piece I roughly choreograhped in my daydream. Both of my Grandmas were in the audience. My Grandma that only lived like 5 minutes away from me passed away in December and my Grandma that lived in San Diego passed away last month. I was so surprised that both of them visited me in my dreams at the same time. I wonder what that means? I miss them both so terribly.

"Estaras siempre en mi corazon. You're the one in my soul that I live for. Tu amor...."

Drive thru FAIL!

Doppel what? Doppel who? Doppelganger!

So this week, everyone is posting a picture of their celebrity look-alikes or "doppelganger" as their default on Facebook. I was seriously getting depressed because I don't think I resemble anyone famous...nor has anyone said I looked like anybody else. Well....except when I was in the 6th grade and everyone was saying who they thought everyone looked like and someone said I looked like Samantha from "California Dreams" just because I was "Chinese". Growing up, EVERYONE thought I was Chinese. Whenever I tried to correct them they'd say: "What's a Fil...Filipino??" It was so frustrating! My Dad was in the Navy when I was younger so we moved around a lot. When we moved to Vallejo when I was 13, I was actually astounded that people knew what a Filipino was. And now they're everywhere! Hahaha. Anyway!
Do you know what the true meaning of a "doppelganger" is? Wikipedia, if you please!

"A doppelganger is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelganger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelganger is an omen of death."

Pretty spooky, eh? I love it! Anyway, I just thought I'd share what the true meaning of doppelganger was. My sister said I could be Ariel, the Little Mermaid (if I was a redhead!) since I'm obsessed with mermaids or "sirenas" if you well. My favorite movie of all time is Disney's "The Little Mermaid". Oh and we're going to see San Francisco Ballet's version in March! I'm so excited because they are basing their version on the darker, more mature themes of the story.

I think I'm going to do a "January favorites" video tomorrow night while my husband is off with his friends watching the UFC fight. I have so many new products I used last month! Not just beauty.....I also have some fun stuff I bought for Barrett that I love...and some cleaning products! (My cinnamon bathroom is sparkly white again, by the way!) I think the kiddies will be hungry for lunch in a little bit so c'est tout pour maintenant! Au revoir mes amis!

P.S. I am prone to speak "franglais" or "frenglish" from time to time. Haha! =)

Spriiiing cleaning! Spriiiing cleaning! In February!

Last night it took me FOREVER to get to sleep because I was thinking about all the cleaning I should be doing. Our house is pretty cluttered. It's hard to keep it as clean as I want it when an "almost" 2 year old is running around the house getting into everything. Maybe I'll feel better if my chore list is written down/typed out instead of it haunting my dreams.

1) Clean the bathrooms...especially the second one we never really use. Explanation! A few months ago, the small bathroom I normally only used to primp myself in (put on my makeup/do my hair) was overrun by ants! They were crawling all over the sink and in the shower. So gross! I read online that ants hate any kind of spices especially cinnamon so I sprinkled a whole bottle of cinnamon ALL over the sink, shower, and floor. Now there are no more ants but cinnamon stains all over! Do you think spices can eat into shower tiles? I seriously need to clean the shower. I bought some bathroom cleaner with bleach in it. Hopefully that will do the trick. We're only renting this house so that would suck if I ruined the nice white shower floor because of my super hatred for ants. =(

2) Tidy up the bookshelves. It used to only hold our huge DVD collection, Ryan's board games, and picture frames but we've gotten lazy and just threw all of our junk mail on the shelves. Everyday I pass the shelves and shudder at how cluttered it is.

3) Scrub the stovetop. Maybe clean the oven.

4) Clean out the fridge. I know we have a bunch of random condiments we don't use anymore.

5) Separate my clothes into warm weather and cold weather.

6) Organize the laundry room.

7) Get all of Barrett's random toys out from under the couches. There are random toy cars, blocks, etc. under there. The couches are so heavy I need to ask Ryan to help me but by the time he comes home from work, he always seems so tired. We'll get to this one of these years. Haha.

Okay.......after typing all this out I don't feel better at all. This list makes it seem like we live in a pigsty. We don't! I swear! I don't belong on Hoarders, honest! (I actually watch that show just to make me feel better.) I don't even know how long it will take me to get all of this done. Once it is done, it will probably be time for me to start cleaning all over again. It's hard to get things done while taking care of my son and nephew. Whenever I do try and clean they always want my attention, or are hungry/thirsty, or want to play a game. C'est la vie! Not to sound morbid, but when I'm at the end of my days what will I want to do one more time? Scrub cinnamon off the floor or play a game of hide and seek with the 2 little boys I love the most? I think we all know the answer to that. ;)
