Hello my friends,yes I made it through my first of many karate camp's.I am proud Of my daughter she did so great!I loved it I wasted a whole lot of time worrying about nothing.It was not nearly as abusive as I thought it would be.We practiced several new techniques and we were introduced to some weapons like bow staff but my favorite thing for the day was throwing the ninja throwing stars.Turns out I am not to bad with them I am definitely going shopping for my own.And as far as weapons go I am pretty sure the bow staff is my favorite.After training all day practicing ground fighting and meeting some other great people we did night trails.Turns out what I was scared of most was the most fun.We practiced everything we learned throughout the camp on the night trails.I learned I need to practice self control among the many other things because one guy attacked me and I forgot I wasn't supposed to hit him so hard.Man I felt bad as I am sure he did after he forgot to block, I kneed him twice in the groin.Wow I can do it, sorry dude.LOL I'll do better when we go again in the fall.No injuries to report other than a few bruises,yes my friends life is good!Enjoy your week!!

Hello my friends. I hope you are having a truly relaxing weekend.I my friends am at the end of my work week.Today is day six for me and we have spring break here so crazy would be an understatement.I never realized how many people like Margarita's .LOL And do you no how many different Margarita's there are?Oh yeah maybe some of you don't no,I work full time at Buffalo Nickel Bar and Grill,was supposed to be part time till the sales pick up for my hubby(car sales) and my jewelry,but my part time is 5 or 6 days a week.LOL The waitress part is easy for me bar tending has been a challenge,been doing it a year now and I still learn a new drink everyday.I get to meet some interesting people also. I have been working out more, an hour a day at least on my Karate.I have karate camp next month.I pay thirty dollars to get my ass kicked all day, and the night trails till midnight part is scaring the hell out of me.LOL .I can't slack off now if I want to be ready. I've recently read that to keep up a great blog you have to post daily. WOW, like I have time for that.LOL I barely have time for my workouts in between my day job and my night job and my family.I've spent the last couple days thinking about it.Trying to figure out away to work it in to my schedule.I belong to teams and guilds and I haven't been able to dedicate enough time to them.So I sit here thinking what can I do away with.I really like writing and I enjoy sharing but I have to spend more time working out because ,I have to go to camp in three weeks and I realllly don't want to get hurt.I hate pain.8) I already get up early and go to bed late.And as I get up at 5am on a Sunday to write this before I rush off to work I realize It's just not going to work for me.So if it takes posting everyday to have a great blog well I guess mine is just going to be a good blog because at best I can do three posts a week.I am going to try some new things here though.I am working on some new Idea's now.I'm going to share some of those awesome drink recipes and maybe some Texas style recipe's as well.And I have a couple other surprises for you . I hope you come back next week and see what I've done with the place.And soon when the economy picks up and I can work less at my day job then I will post daily and you will recognize my Great blog and hopefully it will be one of your favorites.I hope you are not yawning right now.LOL Have a great restful Sunday and thanks for taking time for me my friends come back soon!

POOR PEOPLE ?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the trip?'
'It was great, Dad.'
'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.
'Oh yeah,' said the son.
'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.
The son answered:
'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
'Life is too short and friends are too few.'
