Dave – Honey, can we get a fire truck?
Me – No
Dave – Why not?
Me – What in the world would we do with a fire truck?
Dave – I don’t know… fight fires?
The man has a point.

5:26 pm - busy bees
|
Dave and I have been permanently busy since the opening of our new venture working 12-14 hour days, but I wouldn't change it for a thing. To be able to directly see the benefits of all our hard work is so rewarding and I feel incredibly accomplished and together. To be able to walk into work with excitement is something I wasn't even sure was possible. To be able to bring my lovely lady girl to the shop to hang out with her mom as she is scrambling around like a madwoman is a blessing. She definitely calms me when I need it and keeps me balanced.
Then there is Dave… while no relationship is perfect… Dave and I have grown SO much. We definitely aren't the same slightly immature people we were when we started this relationship three and a half years ago. We have grown by leaps and bounds and are ridiculously (and possibly slightly annoyingly) happy together.
I am a lucky (LUCKY!) girl…

If you have myspace and you own or know someone who owns one of the following:
VW, Audi, Porsche, or Mini and has a myspace... PLEASE add www.myspace.com/etatuning or have them visit www.etatuning.com . The site is NOT finished so be patient and it will be soon but bookmark it!
The business is officially open. People can order parts from anywhere in the country on the site (soon!) or if you are local you can come in for service or upgrades to your VW, Audi, Porsche, or Mini. Things are already getting busy and Dave and I have a guest spot on a radio show next month to talk about the opening. Our official grand opening is May 19th... if you can come down PLEASE do!
I can't believe I am part owner of a business. If you get the chance... you should try it. It's nice not having to answer to anyone but yourself.
¡me!

KATIE LIVES HERE! She does, it's true. She moved in yesterday... and although the animals are still getting used to each other... I'm sure that things are going to be great. I feel like a piece of MD is here with me and I love it!
Things are good. :-)

AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. JAMES THATCHER,
BRAND MANAGER, PROCTER & GAMBLE.
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years, and
I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or
Dri-Weave(tm) absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or
salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the
beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your
revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough
to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell
you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16
in my pants.
Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from
"the curse"? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my "time of the month" is
starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces
violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body
will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call
"an inbred hillbilly with knife skills." Isn't the human body amazing?
As brand manager in the feminine-hygiene division, you've no doubt seen
quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers'
monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Therefore, you must know about the
bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood
swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize
it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend
Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into
a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's
Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy! The point is, sir, you of
all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal
maniacs in capri pants. Which brings me to the reason for my letter.
Last month, while in the throes of cramping that was so painful I wanted
to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi
pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: "Have
a Happy Period."
Are you f***ing kidding me?
What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really
think happiness-actual smiling, laughing happiness-is it possible during
a menstrual period? Did anything I mentioned above sound the least bit
pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick
S&M freaky girl, there will never be anything "happy" about a day in
which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock
yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local
Walgreens armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life
in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man. If
you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make
more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like "Put Down
the Hammer" or "Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong"? Or are you just
picking on us?
Sir, please inform your accounting department that, effective
immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have
chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will
certainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your
brand of condescending bullshit. And that's a promise I will keep.
Always.
Best,
Wendi Aarons
Austin, TX

This is something I thought I would share. True story.
Dave and I went to Sarasota this past weekend to an island called Longboat Key. As we were driving along Dave spotted my very favorite restaurant in Florida Sweet Tomatoes (which oddly enough Tomatoes are my least favorite food...but the place is really just a giant salad bar with soup and ice cream). So we pull over ASAP and go inside to enjoy the deliciousness that is Sweet Tomatoes.
While we were eating we noticed an old man with a long white beard, long white curly hair and a bunch of clothes along other miscellaneous items. My first guess is that he was homeless, and I still believe that to be true. He had what I would describe as a gentle face and piercing blue eyes. As I noticed him I thought about how much better I bet the food tasted to him than it did to me. We finished eating and went back to the hotel which was approximately 15 miles away.
Later that night we went to St. Armonds circle for dessert at Starbucks (my other favorite place that was right near the hotel…). We walked inside, ordered our drinks, and turned around to see the same homeless man sitting in a recliner chair in the corner of the (very small) place. I could not believe that this same man was 15 miles from where we saw him just a few hours before. What are the chances?
We left Starbucks and decided to walk around the circle for an hour or so. We got back into the truck and pulled into traffic heading back to the hotel. As we are leaving the area the homeless man was crossing the street in front of us on the pedestrian lines so we had to wait for him.
Hmmmm.

For last valentines day my mom gave me a heart shaped box. At work when I had to pull out staples from papers I would throw the used staple into this little box. The used staples took the shape of that box and this was the result.
I also attached the lyrics to an REM song I LOVE. "you are the everything."

Did you know that tuna fish
Float up to the surface
Belly to the moonlight just to cool down their heart
'Cause it helps them just to think about the hurtful things
I guess it's just one wait to get them some sedation
FRIENDS ONLY... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!
