Worried Out of My MInd

Hey there. Crazy ass Friday the 13th so far... We were on our way to work (my wife and I work for the same company, which is great because we save on gas and we carpool. Since the company gives out gift cards to employees that carpool, we score like $200 in gift cards every quarter just for coming to work. lol) and we're literally right outside the office building when I get a call from my mother in law. She was in tears and said that her mom is not well, that something is up. I make a U turn and off we go to my mother in laws to make sure all is alright. We get there and we pick her up and then we take off to my grandma's (my wife's grandma but she's mine too) place. We get there and she's sitting in her chair and you can tell that she's struggling to breathe... and when she talks, there is a shortness of breath as well, a slight tremble in her voice, and very sluggish movements. My wife and I instantly thought... stroke. We all stay calm and just talk to her to see what's up and after I get a hold of her doc and describe the symptoms, it's recommended that we take her to an emergency room. We pack up all her meds and get her insurance cards and off we go to the hospital. That was over 3 hours ago... After my wife and I discussed our game plan, we decided that I should come in to work to, well... work. I got here a little over an hour and a half ago and I still haven't received any news. I'm hoping all is well and that there is no news to report and that's the reason I haven't been called. I did speak to my wife when I just walked in the office, but that was business related and she mentioned that they just "took her in". Crazy... I just got a call from my wife.... Hold on...

K, just got off the phone with my wife and it looks like our suspicions were correct. Grandma had, or was this close, to having a stroke. The hospital is not going to release her until after a few days. They want to keep an eye on her since all the machines say she's fine, but her symptoms said other wise so they just want to make sure she'll be alright.

Unforgetable Memories

Ever gone out on vacation and just took a beautiful picture that just captured the moment? We all have that one photo in out photo albums that we get all googly eyes and reminisce about that moment. Well, how about we make that moment even more special by making it into a photo card. Our good friends at CardsDirect.com offer a great service where you can create a personalized card using your own photos and your own wording. You can have the photo on the front of the card, with a greeting if you wish, and personalized message on the inside. Or maybe you just want to give a gift to that special someone and have grown weary of the classic "hallmark" cards. Spice it up, friends. Guys and gals, take a pic of yourselves, or use one of a special moment between you two, and create your own card with a very special message to that special someone. Trust me, they'll love it. Just check out how this one guy decided to use his wedding day as the pic. You can check other stunning examples of Photo Cards here.



Personally, I'd use a picture from Disneyland that I took. Make a personalized message with something along the lines of ,"Hanging out with Mickey and Minnie" or "Our little one's first trip to Disneyland". Check it out, it soooo looks like it belongs on a stand somewhere. lol So do yourselves a favor and dust off that photo album and don't just reminisce, bring the memories back to life and relive the moment.

Friday the 13th Laughfest!

Hey there friends. Gonna be in the L.A area? Who's up for a free show on the 13th? My friend, The Fake Mark Gonzalez, is going to be on the bill and trust me, him and his entourage be some funny people. No drink minimum so even you, the unlucky yet oh so needed designated driver, can go to the show and have yourself some laughs with your drunken brethren. Word on the street has it that they may be doing a taping of Hulk Hogan's new reality show, Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Don't quote me on that though, but hey, you never know who'll you'll run into in these part of the woods. Check out the flier and hope to see you all there. Later!

Entrecard Issues?

Hey there friends. I am having some issues with Entrecard. Was wondering if it's just me or if something is up. I haven't seen any other posts in regard to any probs and my widget is not loading on my page. On top of that, I'm having issues logging into the website. The website itself doesn't load all the way and many of the image cards are not loading. I was just about to get to dropping my card to my "regulars" but I'm not sure if I'm going to miss out on a day of dropping because of this. Later!


6/11/08 Update

Still having probs. This is what my dashboard looks like... And what makes it worst is that I can't view anyone's entrecard widget. Very discouraging.

Back in business. Don't know what was up but I had a feeling that the problem was fixed during the Entrecard outage yesterday. Thanks!

Lakers Down 2-0

What the hell is wrong with the Lakers? Down 24 points with 8 minutes to go in the 4th?!?!!? Not to take anything away from the Celtics, they are in the finals for a reason, but the Lakers should not be down 24 points. Especially when they are considered a high offense team. They need to get their shit together or they WILL lose this series. Only after playing inspired (if not desperate) basketball in the 4th quarter, did they slash that 24 point deficit to 2 points. It was interesting to watch, but if they had played better in ANY of the 3 previous quarters, we may have won game 2. WAKE UP LAKERS!!! These are the finals and unless you play a full 48 minute game, you are going to LOSE!!!!!
