Diva is now a hot dog stand Mascot

To get ready for Halloween, I have been trying to find a costume for me.  I thought it was an adult costume and it was a one size fits all.  Well, I didn't realized it was a one size fits all for a child.  So I won't be wearing it but it looks like DIVA loves it.  I may try to get her a job as a hot dog restaurant mascot.

Mine and Diva's Hula Recital

Over the weekend, Diva and I were in a dance recital (yes I dance :D).  As part of getting ready for the show, our hair had to be big.  Mine, not a big deal but Diva is a bit tough.  I had to braid her hair the night before.

Order of show :D
**Update I uploaded the videos from the photographer.  So much better the "other half"**

Background information:
We were waiting inline to go to Boiling crab (if you don't know, you must experience).  I came prepared with toys for Buddha to play with in line.  I got a little rubber Caterpillar  I thought he would like it.  I was so wrong.  Here is his reaction:
 

Later that day, Buddha went to take a nap.  I gave the caterpillar to his sister.  As soon as she got it, she ran to their room to wake him up.  She put the caterpillar in his face then after he jumped and moved away.  She continued to chase him while he ran away from it.

I had to share this picture....Please comment :D

Oh how Ghetto he is

Today's post is all about the other half:
Background story: Vizcarra's phone died 2 days ago.  It would vibrate, turn off, and then turn on.  So he decided to start taking it apart to see if the power button was stuck.  He may have ripped off this antenna but his wifi stopped working a long time ago.  So he started to look for a new phone.  The boy things he wants a iphone but I do not think it is a good idea knowing the amount of times he lost his phones or broke them.  My dad gave him his old iphone, vizcarra whined that it was not 4G but whatever.  Last night he submitted the request to unlock the phone.  Here is the conversation this morning:
Other Half:  the unlock has been approve
now i just have to restore the device
but i dont have a cable
me:  you are just doomed
Other Half:  im gonna try to cut my sim card to size
me:  omg
Other Half:  you think this place would have a connector for the ipod, iphone
me:  it might - go hunting
Other Half:  got one
so ghetto
me:  yup
Other Half:  success!!!!
haha
me:  you ghetto
Other Half:  i got the sim card to fit
me:  shaking head
Other Half:  does your dad need these songs or is it back up
me:  prob not
Other Half:  oh ok
Other Half:  how do you put the songs in the computer i cant find it
me:  itunes
Other Half:  i am on itunes, oh it has it already - nevermind
Other Half:  stupid restore its taking forever

Background story:
so the other half started today to ride my bike to work.  He spray painted it black b/c it was pink and silver and even put lights
So this is the conversation he sends me:
The other half:  my butt took a pounding
got here at 715
me:  i figured how long did it take u
that isnt bad
The other half:  about 45-1 hour
me:  oh yeah
The other half:  can you go to this fancy pants store and pick me up this seat
http://www.astreetbikenameddesire.com/brooks_accessories_saddles.html
b17 black
The other half: i felt violated after finishing that ride
I told my friend this converstation and here is her response:
Friend:  you need padded pants
in fact the longer the ride the worse a cushy seat will be
a hard seat bruises, but a soft one will chafe and blister
and eventually your muscles stop bruising, so a hard seat is actually better
but I love the padded bike pants I bought
without them I wouldn't walk after the 53 mile ride for at least a week
with them my butt regained feeling after just a few hours

Restaurants or chains

Starbucks

Other suggestions

Conference Room themes suggested by team 1 

Theme:  Celestial (If you actually knew them or heard of them before)

Theme: World Rivers (I would get lost because I suck at geography - never really learned the capitals and hardly know all the states) 

Theme:  Northern California Beaches (Same issues as above)

Theme:  Movie Heroes (List orginally had marvel comics combined with disney characters - I find that wrong and both should not mingle)
