Thank a soldier....

Thanksgiving is right here and I started thinking about all of the soldiers who will be fighting to keep me safe, while I enjoy a hot homecooked meal with my family.

I remembered a girl who set up an organization called a million thanks and so I went on her website to see where I could send a letter. Her newest headline said that I could send a text message straight to a soldier and thank them for everything that they are doing.

This is super easy and will mean so much to someone, it's not a scam, and it won't cost you any more than a regular text message.

I have an idea

I love the game where a bunch of friends sit around in a circle and one begins telling a story then passes it onto someone else eventually creating a really big ridiculous story. For example, take friends A B C and D, they are all sitting together in Peets, because I love Peets. Person A starts off with " one time I was sitting at the beach and... Person B takes over with " and a giant fish jumped out and whacked me in the face with his tail and then... Person C takes over and so on...

So I was thinking, blogging is a lot like sitting in a circle of friends, I want to tag one person to take off from my sentance, write their own, then tag someone else.

*Before you write your post, mention who tagged you, that way you can catch up with the story... leave me a comment if you "storied" and at the end, I will post the finished story.

Let's try this...

" This one day I was sitting on a park bench in the middle of central park. An elderly couple walked by me and..."

The Best News Ever . . . It's Triplets, a Boy and 2 Girls!
The Ladera Times has learned that Chris and Lori Coble, of Ladera Ranch, who tragically lost their three children last May in a horrific accident on the I-5 near the OSO Exit, are having triplets. "Yes, it is true. I am six weeks along and they expect me to deliver in early to mid-May," Lori told the Ladera Times. "We had to do it by in vitro fertilization and it worked the first month. They extracted 14 eggs from me and out of all of those after all sorts of genetics testing, three eggs were good, two girls and one boy. We took that as a sign and we put all three in." The odds of all three eggs attaching were only 10 percent, according to Lori who added, "It turned out, we are one of the lucky 10 percent." Although the Coble family is very excited about the pending birth, Lori said it is a bittersweet blessing. "These children will never take the place of Kyle, Emma and Katie, but it does give us some hope for happier times in the future." Lori and Chris Coble are shown in the photo here taking part in the dedication of the Heroes Memorial in Town Green last Memorial Day. All of Ladera Ranch joins the Ladera Times in wishing the Cobles their prayers and best wishes for a healthy pregnancy. More details will be posted as it becomes available. In the meantime, of you want to comment on this story or leave a message for the Cobles, click on Reader Feedback. (Story and photo by Jim Schmitt, Editor and Publisher)

PAINT TIME!

My roommate Kiva and I decided to spice things up a bit in our apartment and paint it some fun colors. We decided on a tiffanys blue for the kitchen and a tan for the living room. That morning we went to home depot only to figure out we knew nothing about paint, not how to buy it, not how much we needed, nothing! So Kivas mom came, and not only helped us pick everything out, but bought it all for us!

From there, the day just kept getting more amazing. We came back to the apartment to find that our wonderful boyfriends had gone out shopping and made us a homemade pizza complete with appetizers and our favorite soda ( Kiv's is izzie, mine is black cherry)

Then, starting to freak out a little, the boys told us to go out and relax, go shopping or just out, and they would paint the whole place! What a deal! So we headed out to target, linens and things, bed bath and beyond and golden spoon.

We got back to the apartment and yelled" move that bus!" and there was the most beautiful paint on the walls, and the boys were all done! We were so happy and so thankful!

It gets better, after we were done, Kiva's boyfriend Tom, starts to whip us up some dinner! FAJITAS!! ay yay yay!

We ate delicious food, let our paint dry then went and saw heartbreak kid ( awful.)

The end of the night, was all furniture was moved back, shelves were up and it looked so amazing!

YAY for boyfriends and paint!

Thanks boys!

This is for Amy Branley

Amy has requested that I breakdown all of the television shows that I watch on a regular basis because she enjoys my reviews so much.

So this is for you Amy

ANTM ( If you don't know what this stands for, move on)
Love the show. This season, eh. Not really any strong contenders. I love Heather, she is a strong courageous woman. Model? not sure yet. So sad that (spoiler alert) Sarah was kicked off, I thought she had a lot of potential.

Greys Anatomy
Best season so far. Christina is my new favorite. Numbering her interns, genious. Auctioning off her wedding gifts for chances to be in suegeries, awesome, the fact that she can cry now, beautiful. Izzie is annoying, yes she got George, but their whole situation is a little sketchy and I am not sure I like the whole treating marriage with such little respect aspect. Callie, Amy I know you love her, but she is falling apart, her and Britney need to hang out. Kerev is turning out to be a character I truly enjoy, Addison really did a number on him though. Cheif, needs his wife back. End of story. Miranda is the bomb. I want her to be my therapist sometimes.

The Hills
Honestly I can't believe I dedicate 1/2 hour every week to watch this show. I always get to the end and think, what did I just watch? Did anything really happen? The answer is no, but you will always find me monday nights 10:00 with Kelsey and Kiva(Sometimes B Bear) enjoying a helping of the lovely Lauren Conrad and friends. Lauren is mean this season, she needs to get herself an identity and stop ruining every one of her friends relationships. Heidi is gorgeous this season, but she and Spencer need a little more communication, I mean are they engaged or not? Come on. Audrina, lose Justin Bobby, or fun Bobby, whatever his name is. Hes a loser. Lo, come back, you are the only one I love. Whitney, Can I have your wardrobe please?

The Office
Now here is a show. Drama-Check. Action-Check. Humor-Check. Romance-Check. Mystery-Check. So much fun to watch. Dwight and Angela are psychos. Pam and Jim are meant to be. Kevin is hilarious. Toby... so sad. Michael is a mad man. Stanley always makes me laugh. Meridith and Kelly are nutso. What a show... comedic genious.

Jon and Kate plus 8
Ok. You think you are stressed, busy, overworked, underpaid? This mom has two 6 year old twin girls and six 2 year olds. OH MY GOSH. Still she is loving, caring, patient and so organized. Such a woman. (Nothing compared to you though mama) They still manage to have pancake breakfast every saturday and church every Sunday.

I think I am addicted to television.
