Random Thoughts

Just thought I would post about some random thoughts I have floating around my weird little head.

Have you ever wondered what you would do if one day you got a call, not just a call but THE CALL, like a call from a Doctor (not sure if I'm supposed to capitalize Doctor but I did) telling you not so good news, news like you only have a certain amount of time to live or you have a disease only 2 out of 20,000 people have and you just happen to be one of the 2? Would you run to the nearest 7-11 and buy a lotto ticket because if you are one of the 2 people that has this disease then gosh darnit you just might be lucky enough to be the next millionaire? Would you want to just close your eyes and go back in time, like when you were so small and something bad happened to you and you always had a bigger bed to crawl into? Would you look back in time and smile because you are content with how you have lived your life?

Would you sit there and start a list of things you would like to do before your time comes? And would you actually do the things on your list? Would you start going back in time and remember when you were little and all you cared about was playing with your sisters and friends? Or where you would hide at lunch time so you would not have to share with your big sis the big piece of chocolate cake Mom had baked and hot chocolate she had given you to share? Would you think of all the meaningless fights you had with your sisters? Would you think of all the horrible things you have put your parents through? 

Would you think of everyone that has been there for you all your life? Would you think of how you have never told your Mom just how much you love her? How she means the world to you and she is the most beautiful caring mother anyone can ask for? Would you thank her for always putting you before herself? Would you? How about your Dad? Would you thank him for also going out of his way to help you with anything and everything you need? For spoiling you like no other? Would you apologize for making him have a full head of grey hair at like 30? Would you also tell him how much you love him? 

What about your sisters? Would you tell your big sister how much she means to you? Tell her just how much you love her? How you are thankful for having her as a big sister? Thank her for being the nicest sister you can ever ask for? Thank her for making you the happiest girl in the world for making you an auntie and giving you the most adorable nephew ever? Would you thank her for always making you laugh from her blurting out the most random questions at the most random times? Would you tell her how much you missed her when she got married and moved out? Would you tell her how you wanted to move into her room when she left because it smelled like her and you felt as if she was still with you even though she was not? Or how about your first brother in law? Would you thank him for sticking around no matter what when dating your sister even though you were mean to him for trying to take her away from you? Would you tell him thank you for being like the brother you never had and always wanted? Would you thank him for introducing you to the best Mexican food places in San Diego? Would you also thank him for making you an auntie? Would you tell him how much he means to you too?

How about your little sister? Would you first of all tell her sorry for all the mean things you ever did to her? For picking on her for being the little one? Would you thank her for always being so patient? For always being so happy no matter what? Thank her for always finishing your sentences because you are always thinking the same things? Would you apologize to her for not spending as much time with her as you should have? Would you tell her thank you for always busting out with the weirdest dance moves at ALL times? Would you tell her you love her so much? Or her husband? Would you thank him for making your little sister happy? Thank him for spoiling her rotten? Thank him for being your most faithful blog reader and also how much he means to you too? How he is like your little brother?

How about your precious nephew? How would you begin with him? Would you tell him? Would he remember you when your gone? Would he remember how you loved him like no other? Or apologize to him for how in his year of life you took thousands of pictures of him and probably being the reason why he will always see little stars from your camera flash? Would you tell him to always be good to his parents and grandparents because they are the most precious treasure he will ever have? Would you apologize for not being able to be there with him in his first day of Kindergarten, when he graduates from Middle School, his High School graduation or when he is taking off for College to become a Doctor? Would you apologize for not being able to be there for him when he gets his heart broken for the first time, or when kids are being mean to him or on his wedding day? Would you thank him for making you the happiest girl in the world when he was born? Would you thank him for making you feel the closest to ever being a mom? Would you tell him how he means the world to you and you would give anything for his happiness and you just LOVE him more then you ever thought imaginable?

And last but not least The Hubbs. How would you start with him? How would you start thanking him for everything he has done for you? Would you apologize for not being the wife he deserved? For not learning how to cook for him? For not always being the nicest person to him even though he always treated you like a princess? Would you thank him for always looking after you and for sticking to his vows of sticking with you through sickness and in health? Would you tell him how even though you never expressed it as much your love for him is stronger now than ever? Would you thank him for putting up with your bratty ways? Would you thank him for not running away from you when he saw that the hospital was your second home? Would you tell him that if you could go back in time you would still always choose him as your hubbs because he makes you the happiest girl in the world and always manages to make you smile? I would.

These are thoughts floating around my head, thought I would share them with you! Pretty random right? I know, and if you actually read this whole blog post...wow thank you, if you leave me a comment maybe I'll dedicate my next blog to you! Ha! And because this post is so random I thought I would post a random picture I had in my camera from a day I was in my parents back yard snapping random pictures. Enjoy. Lotsa' Love, Claudia!

The moon was out hanging out in the bright blue sky, pretty random right? I didnt photo shop this at all, that was the actual color of the sky, I only had to do some extra zooming in, doesn't it look so cool? It looks so pretty!!

Taking Things For Granted

I'm not exactly sure how the saying goes but i believe it goes something like this: "You never know what you have until it is gone." Well I haven't lost anything but I do feel like I have been taking something for granted and I am am here today to confess to this. I have lived in San Diego pretty much all my life and I have never been to any of the top tourist destinations. There I said it. I feel so much better now. I know the saying is more for like say taking people for granted but I feel this also applies to me and San Diego. That makes sense right? No? Half the time I don't make sense anyway so its okay, you can tell me I'm weird. Its just that I feel like, where I live is a place that people around the world come visit every year and or one day would like to visit it and I live here and while I do love living here and would never dream of living anywhere else unless its Hawaii, then i would move...maybe. But as I was saying, I live in this gorgeous place and I have never actually been to the places we have to offer, besides like a couple of our beaches and our zoos, that's it. I have never really thought about it until one day the hubbs brought this to my attention. So I sat there thinking what a horrible San Diegan (not sure if that's even a word) I am, then I opened up my laptop and started looking up all the places to visit in San Diego and found one so close to my house  that I have never visited before, BINGO!

After I found the first place to visit, I sat there for hours looking at all the other different places I need to visit. I came up with a list of places, and I am extremely excited to visit all these places. Now I will be happy to know that yes I live in San Diego and I am not taking living here for granted, I am enjoying it to the fullest! I am proud to say that the very next day I came up with this list we decided to visit the San Diego Birch Aquarium, and of course I brought my models along with me for some picture taking! Now I have one place checked off my list and I cant wait to visit the other exciting places. So with that said here are some pictures I took on my field trip!

So pensive

A day at Campo Fire Department - San Diego

"Sooooo, what are you doing this weekend?" asks my sister Miriam in an email, "Same thing I do every weekend, try and take over the world!" was my reply, okay maybe I didn't answer that but I can tell you that's exactly what I was thinking! So she asks me if I could take some pictures of my little precious Lentil as he visits his daddy's at the Fire Station for the first time in his little life and of course I said yes, one because how can I not want to take pictures of my precious Lentil, and two well duh, why wouldn't I if he is my little model! So off we went to the most adorable day ever, it turned out to be great, it didn't matter to me that I got extremely nauseous on the way there from the crazy road there, as soon as I saw my little Lentils face when he saw his daddy and fire trucks and having his beautiful mommy there, all my nauseous feelings went right away! So here are some pictures I took that day. Enjoy!

Good Days Turned Horribly Bad

Have you ever started a week just completely perfect? Like you wake up on a Monday morning in the greatest of moods, you hop in your car, pop in your brand new Taylor Swift CD and turn it up all the way and sing at the top of your lungs and your husband doesn't make you turn it off and just joins you? No?? Well that is what that Monday was like for me, PERFECT! So you get to work, have a great day with your favorite friends at work and right before you leave get some not so good news, but you know what you are having such a great day that you brush it off, whatever happens happens right?! Hop in the car, turn up the Taylor Swift and sing away, "...do you remember we were sittin' there by the water, you put your arm around me for the first time, you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter, you are the best thing that's ever been mine." You get home, get the mail and you get bad news in the mail! Still although a little harder you still try and shrug it off, you go to bed, wake up the next morning, still happy and off to another day of work, PERFECT day number 2 and no bad news at work this time. You get home check the mail, and what is in the mail? Extremely bad news! Your 2 PERFECT days now ruined, you let yourself fall on your comfy couch thinking what in the world are you going to do? How will you ever have another PERFECT day with these news? And as you are sitting on the couch with your mind going crazy thinking of how you will get out of this one, BOOM feel like you just got hit by the biggest train in the world and your whole body aches and now you have a cold that came out of nowhere without any warning!
The third day goes by just being okay, and as your trying to finally get through the Thursday you fall and end up in Urgent Care with a sprained knee and leave with the biggest leg brace and crutches!! Anyone had one of those weeks before? Not that I did or anything, I was just thinking how it would be awful if anyone did have that kind of week. Yeah okay maybe I did have that kind of a week, yup I did, I am awesome like that I know! So I thought I would post a picture of what I have been sitting in front of for the past couple of nights since I can't be out and about! Have a great day everyone! Lotsa' love Claudia!!!



A day at the park - Balboa Park

We had been planning a trip somewhere with my little Lentil for a little photo shoot for him, yeah I take pictures of him almost everyday (don't judge me) but we wanted to dress him all cute (not that he doesn't) and take him out somewhere and just be him having fun and me snapping pictures of him doing what he does best, be adorable! So we decided to head out to Balboa Park for his first time and he loved it and my camera loved him loving it! Here are some pictures of my little Lentil having the time of his little life!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and checking out some more pictures of my adorable little nephew! I swear I thought of just naming this my little Lentil blog! I still might! Lotsa' love Claudia!!!
