WHAT TO DO WITH $120 MILLION

DEAR UNIVERSE,

IT'S THE NIGHT OF THE MEGA MILLIONS AND I'M
HOPING YOU'LL ANSWER MY PRAYERS ~

I'LL BE A VERY GENEROUS PERSON TOO. THE MONEY
ISN'T JUST FOR ME. IT'S FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE TOO.

CASH VALUE = $79,500,000
AFTER TAX = $59,625,000

HOW I'M GOING TO USE IT:

$35 MILLION ~ 5 brothers & 2 sisters
(at 5 million each)

$5 MILLION ~ FOR MY MOM (whatever she wants)

$10 MILLION ~ Saved to several banks for myself

$4.5 MILLION ~ 18 nieces & nephews
($250,000 trust fund EACH)

$1 MILLION ~ THE HOUSE (thats what I'm going to offer)

$3 MILLION ~ R.L (since we made a deal that if one of
us wins the lottery, we would give
the other $$ as well)

$1 MILLION ~ FOR CHARITIES

this is not too exact, maybe less or more for people.

thanks again...in advance!

TV Stuff

I told myself that I wasn't going to watch
American Idol until the Top 12 actually
starts performing.

HOLLYWOOD WEEK GOT ME HOOKED!!

Anyways I kinda knew that two of them
would make it ... now I'm hoping that
Anoop gets the wild card.



AND LOST!!

My favorite thing of the night was the
fact that GUAM was mentioned!!

Thank goodness the storylines are improving!
I just hope the producers/writers DO NOT ADD
more characters!

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Confessions Of A Shopaholic

I had wanted to see one more "Oscar Nominated Film"
today ... but decided to watch someting "fun"
instead.

I was debating The Wrestler? Or Shopaholic?

Shopaholic won!!

This is an absolutely adorable movie. None of
us had read the books, but now, I will definitely
read it.

Isla Fisher is wonderful in this movie.

Contacts Exam

After "researching" and making calls,
I finally decided to go to Sears Optical
to get my Contacts Exam.

They were suprised that I had Kaiser insurance
and didnt go there. I informed them that the
exam was going to cost me more than $100. All
the other places cost more too.

Lens Express: $115
JCPenny Optical: $85-$100

Since Sears was close by, I didnt mind "just"
paying $100 ~ but after the exam she only
charged me $90 !! yay!!

She had also asked me what solution I used
and I said im currently using RENU (on sale)
but I usually COMPLETE or OPTI CLEAN. She
said to only use COMPLETE and OPTI CLEAN
because RENU had a "problem" with infections.

Time to change my solution.

Day One of Reading 100 Books

I'm on a mission to read 100 books in a year.

The first book I chose is:
The Zahir ~ by Paulo Coelho

I actually started to read this book last year,
made it to three chapters then stopped. Now
I'm restarting ... hopefully I read it entirely
and quickly.

34 ~ T0 DO

I was thinking of writing 34 things
"TO DO" before turning 35 ~ however i
thought that it was a little bit too
much ... and maybe just list about
17 of them to ACCOMPLISH.

Then I could still choose to finish
another 17 ~

Here they are:

1. Get a Tattoo
2. Read 100 Books
3. Watch MOST of the AFI 100 movies listed
4. Flatten My Abs
5. Tone Up My Arms
6. Take Photography Classes
7. Take Guitar Classes
8. Take American Sign Language Classes
9. Take Swimming Lessons
10. Ride A Hot Air Balloon
11. Go Sky Diving
12. Travel To Europe
13. Travel Cross Country
14. Publish Novel
15. Buy "The Beetle"
16. Buy "The House"
17. Win The Lottery

I'M 34 !!

Today is a wonderful day!!

I'm actually happy about turning a year
older. 34 will be a fun year for me ~

Next year is something that I'm looking
forward also. I can't wait to turn 35 ~

And its Valentines Day!

Good company.
Good food.
A day of rest.

What more can a Valentines Birthday Girl
ask for?!?!

Today is a good day!!

LINCOLN PENNIES

Happy Belated 200th Birthday Mr. Lincoln!!

I've been collecting Lincoln Wheat Pennies and
now ... there are new designs for 2009 ~

I don't have "much" of the ONE CENT pennies,
I might just try to find the four new designs
and keep them in the same container.

I still need to start a collection of the state
quarters.

BIRTHDAYS VS. VALENTINES DAY: Part 2

Several family and friends had mailed out
BIRTHDAY cards to me!!!

Nothing mentioning "and happy valentines
day too" ~

Thank You Wonderful People!

Sorry about that crazy rant the other day.

I actually like Valentines Day. If it was
on Feb. 13th OR Feb. 15th ~ then YAY!!

Two More Days To Go!!

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Curious Case ... Benjamin Button

The movie is FINALLY at time where its showing AFTER
WORK ... and not at a time where everyone is rushing
to get to the theatre to make it on time. This happens
because we dont have the same schedule.

LAST WEEK ... WE WERE RUNNING WAY TO CLOSE.

I was able to get a FREE MOVIE ticket (for next week)
and decided to pass on buying the FUZE tea today.
We didnt want to drink to much and go on a restroom
break. This was going to be a long movie and didnt
want to miss anything.

Anyways ... what seemed like a LIFETIME later. The
movie was over.

I've come to the conclusion that SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
will (SHOULD) win the Oscar. And that this movie
deserves the MAKEUP and CINEMATOGRAPHY categories.

The visuals were wonderful. But the story itself
didnt captivate me. The concept, about a person
that ages backwards...is of course...really
interesting - other than that - I wanted the movie
to end, because I was probably just bothered by
the pace of the movie .. and way TOO MANY EXTRA
characters to hold an interest for me.

EXCEPT MR. "I'VE BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTING"

I feel really disappointed.

BIRTHDAY VS. VALENTINES DAY

It's that time of the year again where
I turn another year older, and have to
think of WHAT TO DO plans on the 14th.

Last year was nice that my friends had
treated me to WICKED. It didnt even
occur to us that it was a HOLIDAY, we
just enjoyed the show.

I already decided that I really dont
like having birthday dinners in restaurants
anymore since its full of people having
Valentines Day dinner. I find myself thinking
'ITS NOT MY SPECIAL DAY' !!!!

I hate getting the HAPPY BIRTHDAY-VALENTINE
cards ... whoever thought of that had not
realized that they are screwing someone over
and getting one card less!!

The rest of my life is going to consist of
my kids & grandchildren wondering whether
they spend time with me on my birthday or
with they significant others for Valentines
day.

AND I DONT LIKE SHARING. AND I LIKE THE
BETTER GIFTS. (IM SOO BAD) OH, AND TO BE
A EVEN BIGGER "BITCH" ... I STILL HAVE TO
GIVE MY MANFRIEND A GIFT TOO!!

I'LL NEVER HAVE A "SPECIAL DAY" ~

FOUR MORE DAYS TO GO~

Grammy Night

It's Grammy Night!

When I was younger I wanted to win this
award ... however ... I CANT SING!!

I wanted to do a Best New Artist acceptance
speech.

I thought there would never be a chance
that I could ever get one, but now I know
its possible for me in these categories
that has nothing to do with me singing :

1. Song Of The Year (song writing)
2. Best Compilation Soundtrack Album (producer)
3. Best Musical Show Album (lyricist)
4. Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television

SUPER LOTTO DREAMING

Dear Universe ~

Please consider my quick picks and "personal" picks
for the Super Lotto tonight.

I understand that $76 million can be divided by ALOT
of people ... i just want probably $5 million of that
and you can choose whoever for the rest.

I need to buy THE HOUSE and THE BEETLE ~
AND DONATE TO SEVERAL CHARITIES.

PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

CURRENT EVENTS & FAMOUS PEOPLE

I told myself that I wouldn't read anything
"celebrity drama" related. But this past
week, I couldn't escape it.

I don't know which one would be my "favorite" ~
1. Jessica Simpson's Weight
2. Christian Bale's Outburst
3. Michael Phelps Drug Scandal

I seriously dont think there is anything wrong
with Jessica Simpson and her weight gain. She
is still pretty and can sing. That's more
important, right?!?

The outfit ... if she was still "skinny" ...
might still have gotten her in the news.

As for Christian Bale ... I never thought he
could be a "moody" person. But I soo enjoyed
James Liptons "re-enactment" on the Conan O'brien
show!!

And now ... Phelps & Pot ... i wasn't really
a FAN of him ~ and his 8 Gold Olympic Medals.
YEAH...Its amazing...but someting about him
just "ticked" me off!!

So this whole ordeal, kinda made me "happy" ~
And I'm glad Kellogg will not renew their
contract with him.

Yeah he says he is sorry (sorry that he got caught).
What else is he suppose to say. I mean, he was
already arrested in the past for drunk driving.
He is no "greatest athlete" in my book.

I HAVE THE BRAVO CHANNEL!!

I don't know how long I've had the channel,
but the other night, instead of using the
channel up and channel down button, I decided
to individually enter the channel number instead.

Most of them were the Spanish channels that I
didnt put on memory, otherS were static ... then
... channel 43 ... i found the BRAVO CHANNEL!!

ADD TO MEMORY PLEASE!

I think THE UNIVERSE heard me ask for this
channel!! NOW Please, Time Warner Cable,
can you now give me OXYGEN?!?!?

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: New In Town

I should have waited for this to come out
in DVD!! I passed watching Benjamin Button
because I thought we would have missed the
first couple of minutes.

Anyways ... thank goodness Harry Connick Jr.
was there ~ i would have not had a reason to
watch this.

The movie wasn't bad ... but I thought that
the script could have been better. I already
knew halfway how "the company will be saved" ~

Now we need to find another day to watch
Benjamin Button!!

Super Cr3w In Guam

Super Cr3w is visiting Guam!!

They'll be performing and judging Guam dance
