where have I been?
On Halloween, we went over to my parents ordered pizza and decorated candy skulls. Sometimes I wonder, if and when we have a child how the family dynamic and traditions will change. My bothers (28 and 17) and I are the kids in our family. Imagine... a baby. This will definitely be something new. I had many personal pictures on my alter this year, hence why I did not put a full picture up. If I have time I will put a Photo Shopped picture on here.
I know I have this picture on another post... but I never actually wrote much to go with it. As my husband and I drive around on errands... I see the most beautiful things. I want to just capture that moment, that second and savor it. So I do the next best thing... I photograph it. Sometimes as I go back through the photos, I know a piece of it is missing. The essence of the moment that enriches is it gone. I just wish I could capture these moments... to show people how beautiful life is.... our town... time... my husband. There is a story here. The silent looking back and wanting to say something... but can't. This is a field of crops in Redlands. It is common to see a bunch of cars and trucks lined up on the side street as workers are out harvesting the newest growth. They have stories.
Our friend Akaixi was showing at a local Dia de los Muertos Exhibit at a local community college. They had tables set up and a nice little reception. We are so proud of him. His piece was beautiful . His experimental artwork is starting to define who he is as an artist.
An image from the Dia de los Muertos event on November 2nd in Riverside. The artist creates large replications of art with chalk on sidewalks. 
M and M went out to the Riverside Arts Walk with us. It was a very interesting experience to say the least. The crowds and artist "galleries" were very diverse. From goldfish cookies to shrimp and wine. Pearmama had her work showing in the building in the second photo. From Framing shops to bail bonds offices. From hippy chic to hipster cool. You had it all. Above are a few snaps from the night. We were able to go into the small rooms above the historic Life Arts Center. We had our wedding reception on the 1st floor. It was very interesting... solar life force interesting. 
Took some time to go to a UCLA game with clients. That was a long day. Tailgate and all. I'm glad we made it home safe. 
One of those moments where I just want to capture life. That same day I took this photo... I found out that my Nina, who beat stomach cancer, now has a tumor in her uterus. They have to do more testing and then surgery. She has lost over 50 pounds in the last two months. Even now as I type, I can not. . . finish. I just want to capture life.
Went to vote...
Luckily I am an absentee voter. I was able to walk right in and place my ballot in the ballot box and drive away. The line for early voters was long.
Then we went shopping.
How can it be...
... the end of the month already. Wow. Time does fly. I have been so busy. It's like walking through a mall on Christmas looking for candy cane striped socks. Fast, colorful, loud... and endless. I have to say, with such a fast life, I hope I keep my center focused. Right now my center is still loyalty and work. My outer center is love, family, Husband, my project, integrity and humility. I need to pull my husband into the center and move work into the outer center. I am working on that. I do love him..... for understanding me so much. I think now with his venture into a new profession (similar to mine) he sees me in a new light.
We went out and had sushi for dinner to night. Our sushi place now has "all-you -can -eat" .... yum! Pearmama... We need to make plans.... mid November? I'll e-mail you soon.
We party hopped this weekend... so I will leave you with is little tidbit.
*my mother knew I was recording and was using her "80-90's" verbage. She is too cute.
Hi...
We did take timeout for some fun...
...we needed a center piece for dinner on Sunday.Costco Flowers and a pumpkin vase
It's been a while. I have been so busy. With the economic down turn life at work has become somewhat hectic. My project is doing fine, but December is the month of budget "adjustments". I'm a little worried about that. My project is on a six year plan. We are currently in year 4. We are right on target and if there is a hiccup I may just be thrown... I'm holding on and it's full steam ahead. There are some conferences my boss wants to go to... by the way, we have a new CEO. One is 2551 miles away, while option two is 356 miles away. He wants option one. Hmmmm. Different. Same conference. One in a much more exciting area... of course, how ever much more expensive.
My cousin came down from the Great Lakes to visit us. We are two peas in a pod. His partner and he were down for a class reunion. He cam over to my parents for dinner and we talked for 5 and half hours. I miss seeing him. We grew up together.
And so on.... I'm so tiered . I think I'm done posting for now.... I'll just add a few pictures and call it.
