SIGNS

SIGNS ...... no not the movie .... I am talking life signs .... when you make a decision and then all of a sudden you doubt yourself for some reason or another.... if this was or even is the right thing to do... after you start seeing signs.

I believe that the signs are always there ....... sometimes we avoid them, sometime we dont want to see them even though they are right in front of our eyes, other times we see them just dont think anything of them, and then we have those people who go looking, hunting and seeing so called signs everywhere they go.

I really dont know what I believe in or dont believe in anymore but what I can tell you is that sometimes signs are just soooooo ironically scary.

Int: Afternoon (Lunch) Jersey's

Me: (out of the blue) do you ever look for signs
Dudet: WHAT CHRISSIE?!?!?
Me: see signs
Dudet: ummmmm
Me: nevermind I cant explain it
Dudet: no I kind of get what you mean
Me: yeah you make a decision and then things are just thrown in your face ... like maybe

DUDETS PHONE VIBRATES B/C SHE GOT A TEXT MESSAGE
(she gets ZODIAC text messages everyday and it just so happened that she got this text while she was with me at lunch ... mind you we have not seen eachother for over a week!)
Dudet goes to read it ... looks at me... and then says... this applies to you

Dudet: TEXT FWD: A friend or loved one has ideas for change which may have an unsettling effect on your personal life.
Me: You see SIGNS !!!!!!!!!!!

END OF THAT CONVO

A Map of Greece

All about Kefalonia
ENJOY THE READING AND PICS

IN A NUTSHELL

Kefalonia lies at the center of the Ionian Sea and is one of the most popular destinations of the Ionian Islands and the biggest island of the group. Kefalonia has many wonderful beaches with fine sand and turquoise, bleach-like waters, specific to the island. Others of its many beauties are its picturesque villages, its National Park on its highest mountain (Mount Ainos) on which a rare specie of fir forest grows and terrific landscapes. This section has everything about the island.

WELCOME TO GOOD BURGER

Alyssa and her friend Rachael just got a job at GREAT WRAPS this wrap place in Pembroke Pines .... The store Officially opens FRIDAY but today was the girls first day of work ... WORKING GIRLS WHOOHOOHOO ... now its time for them to take me out :) !!

OK OK OK ... well my blog is really about THE GOOD BURGER movie being an ongoing funny between the three of us ... today I had a little (ok ok ok a lot) of time on my hands just sitting around waiting for my travel agent to call me back with my GREECE info.

Here is the outcome from all the time ....I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD!!

THE FORTH OF JULY :)

Fourth of July was fun

We had a few neighbors from the hood at the house and ummmm ... yeah ..... we got this party started when little bro openned a can of worms and said something about our neigborn boyfriend when he actually just broke up with her and well no one knows yet. Lets just say a few beers and some shots later all was fine!!



After a while of that I packed up the truck and went to this park to see fireworks with Dakota. Everyone (dad and bro) were tired and well hate the traffic trying to get out.... so it was just Me and Dakota. I do this every year and well I could not miss it this year :) !!




After that I went to a friends house, had a few drinks, watched some TV, came home and then hit the sack!!!!!!

HAPPY 4th of JULY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 4th of July :)

HAPPY
4th
of
JULY

Me and Dakota


Yeah Yeah Yeah I know I am mean ... but whatever ... he lets me do this to him and its also a cute funny ass pic!!

Happy Birthday Little Bro

HAPPY 25th
BIRTHDAY MICHAEL :)

I hope you had a great day and night !!

Life is what you make it!

Its been a rough journey thus far. Between broken friendships, broken dreams, heartaches and an emotional downfall its been rough. But hey Im a true believer in destiny and what brings you to certain stages of life.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my past, but I have learned from them and found ways to move on. LIVING AND LEARNING is the true meaning of life!! I cant say I dont have regrets for my past ... i mean come on we all do ..... but I will say I have only the regrets that are true to my heart. Although my past had been a bittersweet one I must say i loved every minute of it.

I've grown this past year more than I ever have in my life. I have realized things that I never realized before ... its ok to talk to people, its ok open your heart, its ok to love others, care about people, and also let your guard down from time to time to let the right people in.... Its a risky thing to do .. sometimes it turns out great, but other times it leaves you hurt! Its a big step when you do that and you also learn about other people and about yourself, but in reality its a risk that needs to be taken. If you dont try new things once in a while you wont learn anything new. It took a while for me to see it all ... see the whole picture, think outside the box, and even put myself in someone else shoes for once... Its a scary thought but also an overwhelming feeling when you can see more than you want to see... when you let yourself feel the things you are scared to feel, see the things you are scared to see, and also take those chances in life you are scared to take!! I want to thank all of those who have helped me along the way. You all know who you are (xxoo) !!!!!!!!!!!

Life is to damn short soooooooo Live life to the fullest for tomorrow is not a promise.

Update on the family

Dad is doing good he wants to start doing his own catering on the side again. He got this gig at a greek church a few months ago and now the itch is back haha Wow its been so long but I am glad he is doing this for himself. He wont leave the school he is working at (benefits are to damn good haha) but he will and has been do some of his own catering on the weekends. Bro and I wont help and for all of you who know us you all know we hate the food industry haha. SORRY DAD!!!

Michael is doing good. Working working working ... Now its two jobs just because he wants to save up lots and lots of money. My brother takes after my dad when it comes to money haha .. my mom too but more so my dad :) !! You all know michael... . He turned out to be the smart one out of the both of us haha!! Well he took the summer of from school and will be starting up back in the Fall so his life is totally on track.

As for me I am not sure what I want to do. I have gotten some job offers (film and TV) but I have said no to them all. I still want to work in the industry, but I am not sure if working 80hrs a week is what I really really really want to get back into. The money is good (GREAT) , the work is always fun hahaha okokok stressful and hard at times (you have all gotten an working chrissie phone call before haha) but even after all of that bitching when I look back the weekly pay usually made up for all the bad :) .. plus I always got free shit (SWAG) .... but really after mom passed away and taking a year off and getting that chance to really look at life and re-evaluate what is more important to me ... I have realized that what I thought matter the most before does not anymore. I took my family for granted and now wish I did not ... we all live and learn but I wish that lesson never had to be learned for me .. I wish I saw it for myself!! Life is just to darn short and I dont want to live to work. I did it for 4 years and now the things that did not seem important to me mean the world to me!

I have had the idea of going to Greece for a while now in my head.... yeah I know what you all are saying hahaha... another chrissie idea.... im just damn stubborn... but this one has just been lingering and linger on .... I feel like I just need to get away for a while... not just go out of town to visit jackie, danit, family in arizona .... although it would be cheaper and also interesting when it came to stoires :) haha, but I just feel I need to get away to gather my thoughts and see what else is out there .... my other options... find that path I have gotten off track of.... figure out what I really want to do ... where I really want to be!! You are prob saying I can gather my thoughts anywhere (go surfing, talk a walk, go for a run, go to the mall hahaha) .... I know ... and I know its Greece .. the other side of the world .... and you all who think I am doing wrong ... are prob right ... I will probably find no answers there, BUT its an escape I need to take for now just because. Sometimes we do things just because. We dont have all the answer to why we do the things we do or why things happen, but it all happens for a reason!!

If all goes as planned and Murphy's Law does not come into play (hurricanes, plane crash, sudden death ahhhhh) I will be partying the night away in the Mediterranean soon!

SAD TODAY !!!

I HATE THE WORD CANCER!!!!!!!!!!!

I am missing mom today.... more than ever ... I hate holidays ... now.... that is... I never use to but now even the smallest stupid days hurt like hell. Little Bros Birthday is on Monday .. he will be 25 :) .. im so happy but at the same time so sad .... all i keep thinking is how last year he was the first to celebrate a birthday without mom. I try my best to make things special for him, but sometime even my best isnt good enough in my eyes only because no matter how much I try or what I do its never the same. I dont think anything will ever be the same anymore!!
I hate feeling like this .... Only this year have I started crying over mom.. really accepting her death ... not wanting to .. but just really dealing day by day! I think about dad and michael all the time and how mom was the only person they would both talk to and now who do they turn to???? .. not me!!!!!
I cant begin to tell you how much I am missing mom more and more everyday.

::::: FUNNY HOW WHEN MOM WAS AROUND ::::

* The house always seemed to be clean and smelled perfect!!

I try and try and try .... I clean and clean and clean but its never the same

* We would never run out of toilet paper!!!

ahhhhhh kill me now because sometimes I feel like I am back in college with dad and michael around

* Fridge was always stalked ... ohhhh the good old days .... milk, bread, cream cheese, jelly ...

ahhh the joys of the little things in life that you tend to miss when living with two dudes and a mail dog !!With dad and bro around I shop and shop and shop but everything just seems to disappear in a matter of hours not even days !!

* Herman .. getting your period was never stressful when mom was around I always knew if I ran out of something she would have a stash somewhere.

NOW I AM JUST SHIT OUT OF LUCK ... and men just dont understand to leave me the F alone when its that time of the month!!

* Dailey family Dinner was always a must ... well what we all did !!

now its everyone just fin for themselves most of the time

* Holidays ... decorations were always up... it was always a fun time

now its like ok screw that .. unless I (chrissie) decide to put them up

* Birthdays ... always a smile on moms face because she always knew what to get us and she would always add that extra Skivvies gift :)

No lie come one ... i mean you dont think of getting underwear unless you are in dire need of them hahaha but every b-day and christmas that would be a gift we would get haha

* Good Night check insEvery night mom would make sure my TV was turned off and my feet were covered before she went to bed haha

Now dad and bro can care less what time I stroll in!!

* Those annoying Mom is worried phone calles .... Mom would always call to check up on me when I was either out with somef riends or working late late late .

I think I miss those out of the blue but expected calls the most!!Its a lack of effort from both dad and bro

* Last but not least ... endless love ... even if you got into a fight with mom you knew it was gonna turn out to be ok ... a big fat im sorry .. then you would know she loves you even more that before, and then give you an even bigger hug than last time.

I AM JUST MISSING THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE WE ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED!!
