She is now selling knives ( best niece in the world-part three )

it is true.. my adorable wonderful extremly smart intelligent 20 year old niece who is on her way to Jordon is selling knives. all 90 pounds of her. This in itself is So funny and I cant get over that.. but the fact that she is most likely extremly good at it with that charming personality.. who is NOT going to want to buy knives from her? I know I do.

What a great X mas

oh yes ... it was a bit dramatic pulling it all together. from a big formal dinner to a simple soup and bread.. we finally managed to get together with our closest friends... after seeing the incredible movie ( the curious incident of benjamin button ) highly recommend!! wonderful.. amazing. GO and see this movie it is really good... anyway Rich, Steve L, Steve Z, Kirk, Jaime, Jeff, Tylor and I got together for some amazing great soup, pancakes and salad.. and a whole lot of bread..

he is SO goodlooking and the body is not so bad either

can not wait..

Totally in love with our new president.. cant wait.. cant wait cant wait.

why would anyone want to see a dietitian on xmas eve?

Here I am at work.. Xmas eve.. Wishing I was at Bridgetta's annual xmas party but waiting for my 4 pm pt to NO show.. Not quiet sure why someone would pick xmas to go and see a dieitian but apparently someone would.. to talk about diet and eating right and exercising etc. etc.

I guess I should be grateful that I have a job that I love and the clinic is a nice to place to be if you have to be at work.

oh another incredible weekend

Happy Holidays everyone!!

It is been a great couple of weekends--- as much as I bitch and moan about it.. I love this time of year. and every year we manage to do some amazing fun things. Last year of course i was in Paris.. ( fa fa fa -- please wait as I put my cigarrette out... ) and that was incredible. .. but it was COLD and Expensive and the whole country smelled like cheese. anyway.. this year we have done some very fun things and I will blog about them one at a time.. but it takes a long to edit these videos ( maybe I should start doing christmas stuff six months a head so I can be more timely) so I put the photos on SNAPFISH like I use to-- BUTTTTTTTTTTTT, I wanted to put few picture of my very very funny friend kirk who is very very funny ( ok so I am not so original with adjectives )
IS nt he just adorable? I LOVE you little Kirkie and those glasses are awesome!!!

Sharing Dessert with Jaime

Now as you all my regular bloggers know ( well most likely that is only one very special one.. and you know who you are.. Thank you for being such an avid reader!! ) I love Jaime BUT ( and everyone has one ) sharing food with him is very challenging because he loves eating as much as I do and he eats fast so if you are not careful everything is gone. My last innocent experience was approximately ten years ago when we shared a piece of carrot cake and before I blinked an eye, the cake was gone.

I have learned my lesson and now before we share a meal, or dessert. , I make him cut the item in half and he is good at that. Still one has to be careful, becuase when he is done, if you slow down, he may look at your part of the food with that innocent big brown eyes and ask something like "are you going to finish this? " which I alway say yes -- Well here is the video of our last sharing a dessert-- I did not edit this video because the whole thing is SO funny. ( well I think it is of course )

I do love you my little Jaime.. you are worth all that.. Thanks for a great evening as always..

Three docs, Two Pharms, One Dietitian and a beautiful wife

OK ok another blog about work.... Trying to keep the two seperate but it was too much fun hiking Mount Diablo and seeing Clayton finally. Not sure if I can continue making fun of suburbs as much as I like to though, very beautiful. The hike was great and we all survived the whole day without actually talking about our jobs. Thank you Ms. Minn. and dont worry NOONE ever reads this blog-- i have all of one reader and he wont have a clue of who you guys are.. so this should not affect your MPS scores. sc : )

Ok .... so we are putting halloween after thanksgiving. sorry!

Jaime told me the other night that it was too late to post Halloween since we already celebrated Thanksgiving and getting for Christmas. Technically he is right but that is the beauty of having your own blog. You can do whatever you want to do. Here is to Halloween that is past..

Enjoy the above video and I promise to be more timely with my video productions. Life is busy and doing one of these things does take a long time although it is a lot of fun and I love it.. anyway.. happy halloween bbbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooooo

love sc

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Hello friends of blog or only one friend ( my little blog reader!) It is Thanksgiving eve. . I feel very fortunate because I have four days off. I feel thankful for a lot of things. I am grateful -- here some real reasons to be greatful about. Check out my amazing friends and family. I love you guys.

Sad Day... Sad Week

Jaimes Dad died on Thursday and that is very sad. My deeperst sympthoy for him and his family. It is also the four year anniversary of my sister's passing. I wanted to "lower the flag" for the website for the next few days as we celebrate these amazing individuals and how much we will miss them. and to tell all my friends and families how much I love you. In case I ever forget to tell you that.. I DO I DO I DO.. thank you each of you for making my life so complete... I will never take any of you for granted and you should all know that.

Happy Go Lucky Airlines (HGLA ) and a boy Named Troy

OMG! Did I screw up or what.... I owe my friend Troy a big apology. So Check this out.. (No pun intended). Troy is kind enough to give me some passes to fly HGLA. This is such a generous act since tickets are so expensive. I travel a lot because of my mom, my niece and the pure joy of traveling. So I show at up @ HGLA's counter at 5 am and try to check in. It turns out that the passes DO expire and my passes were expired. I dont really think much of this although I am quite annoyed. By some miracle I HAPPEN to have a half ticket left from another trip and am able to check in. Except now I am thinking how the hell am I going to get another ticket to come back and if I have to now spend $300 to come home. HOLY COW. I call Troy and explain the situation ( mind you that is only 5 am and Troy is a little sleepy). Troy being the wonderful person that he is tells me that he will take care of this and will send me another ticket. I am thinking this is the end of it. It turns out that trying to check in with expired tickets is a very big deal and causes some security alarm. Poor Troy gets a call from his supervisor and has to explain that I am a real person and he is aware of me. God Troy this blog ( hopefully if you happen to check it ). wants to formerly apologize to you. Love ya babe (mean it )

sc

... and he is SO fun to look at

oh thank god thank god thank god thank god.. We have a new president. Maybe life will be a bit better for all of us.. this I do believe. Yes he has great ideas and CHANGE is a good thing but he is also so good looking and that is always a thing you want in your president.. Hot lusious babe. : )

How cool are you? If you are reading this.. VERY

oops.. I deleted this whole blog because I meant to add more to it.. but it got deleted. oops oops oops.. oh well. If you are reading this. you are definitely cool and by reading this blog will be even cooler if there is such a thing ... sc

She is going to Jordon ( Best neice in the world-part two)

As I was thinking about my niece as usual ( read awful teens?/Best Niece in the World )- she calls me to tell me she is going to Jordon this winter for a six month course in Intensive Arabic. ( not to be confused with aorbics.. that is different ) OH MY GOD. of course I am so exited for her and of course for me as we will be going there as soon as she is settled... and do a bit of Middle East ( yes it is safe -- Jordon and Dubai ) I am beyond proud -- and I am sure so is her mom up there in Heaven.. YOU ROCK Affsee. ( how is that pot smoking coming along? ) If you have any videos of yourself.. please let me know so I can post. ha ha.

I stole this idea from Steve Z. if you click the link you will know what the weather is like in Jordon. How cool is that?

Read my blog more often

awful teens?

So my FLIP is broken and some of your prayers has been answered as I can not video tape but dont relax Rich is fixing it as we speak. so I should be back to my old self soon and start annoying you very soon ( just in time for HALLOWWWWWWWWWWWEEN ). Meanwhile, here is an interesting thought--i am talking to one of my fav docs and we start talking about teens. You know those extremely annoying young people between the ages of 13 and 19 who are obnoxious and disrespectful and not so nice. while most of us dont have kids and may not quite appreciate them, i do think of all the teens in my life -- My incredible niece( see THE BEST Niece in the world ) who is one of the biggest joy in my life and is one of the few people who really makes me laugh, my amazing stepdaughter who was a huge reason why I married her dad, my 18 year old Irish friend who showed me all the hip things in Ireland ( and I will move there if that f*&* ing McCaine gets elected ) I been incredibly lucky!!!! although i don't have children, these young kids have touched my life in such a positive way. I do realize being someone;s aunt, or someones step mom or someones friend is very different than being their primary care giver. I have a lot more lenient rules although I have had to say No and had to somewhat "parent"-- but these teenagers are so easy going and so easy to eager. So then the question is that although it is expected for teens to be moody and know it all. -- what makes one teen so good and respectful and the other teen not so respectful. Is it the parenting? that is not fair because i know some great parents who have some not so great teens. Is the environment? The location where these teens are? is it American Culture vs International Culture? different set of values at a young age? I don't know My step daughter Michelle was born in Indiana and with beautiful red hair and those blue eyes are as American as you can get-- is it just the personality?? good natured vs not so good? Is it the type of friends they have and what they get exposed to? I dont know my niece has some many different types of friends. the druggies and the cool kids and the nerds-- and although our big joke is that everyone thinks she does smoke pot (which she does not -- and YES she would tell me if she did ) --Does it go away? At some point, do teens look back and say THANKS.. I know i did.. I was a horrible teenager and caused my parents a whole bunch of grief. but later I did thank them and was grateful and look at me now.. practically a perfect person-- The conversation today really made me think and I felt for this person, because he is likely a great dad ... and wanted to tell him to hang in there. -- I dont know maybe a chance of a tough teenager is reason #453 not to have children : (

MY amazing friend Ed

Oh so long ago, I had this great friend named Ed. He was So hip and cool and i just adored him. Unfourntantely, our friendship did not last too long because I was young and dumb and did stupid things back then -- Now after all those years, I was bored out of my mind with my music and decided to call him. He is the only one that I know that has this amazing taste in music. He introduced me to Junior Boys and some other real cool muisc that I totally love. Thanks Ed. Always on top of it.. This one is for you Mr. Ed. ( DOUBLE SHADOW-) my favorite song for now ! ) See the video below --

Oh it is been so long since I have blogged. The reason is because I am working on the production of my Alaskan Trip and it has taken so long and my computer is NOT cooperating. Also my life is pretty much falling apart with work and commute and life. ahhhhhhhhhhh- anyway. So just saying hello to my ( do i even still have ) two regular blog viewers -- and thank you for your patience -- I hope you miss me. I miss blogging and getting my creative side or whatever this is -- out. As Fran says Life is beautiful -- however, sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming. with love sc

YES you can see Russia from Alaska but that does not qualify you to ba VP

Alaska was amazing.. Here is the video of our trip. AMAZING> AMAZING-- This is really for Stephen, Sohail and Jenny. Rest of you may find it a bit boring but I doubt it.. How exicting is it to watch peoples vacation video.. but you know it is me.

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh-Running a joke to the ground!!

As both of you my regular viewers know.. the gang and I ( per Tylor's definition: ya know, our gang, ) have a habit of taking a relatively funny joke and running it to the ground. The joke of course keeps coming back over and over again ( it just never dies ) as it gets added to a list of jokes that always come up. Amongst our most famous ones are of course" bitch.. you dont know my bidnesss" and "she said the K word" and the classical one-- "they say never talk bad of the dead--Joan Crowford: DEAD. GOOD" and of course who can forget--"Doctor said...Blench-- you are g--i... n... g.... to d... i... e "-- ( this is with Kirk's voice in my head )-- anyway, tonight we added a new one called "OOOOOOOOH"-- had a great time with that.. Here is a little clip called "oooooooooh: running a joke to the ground", with love sc
p.s make sure you wait watch ALL the credit for a little bonus at the end.

Vacation Video--Part One Seattle

As both of you regular viewers know, Stephen Love and I along with my brother, sister in law, her twin sister and two of her other sibblings went to Alaska. We had a great time. was not sure how to put the information without it being too long. So after thinking and thinking.. I thought I would break it down to three parts. Seattle, Alaska, and then Vancouver... Here is the first part.
Seattle. Enjoy and I wont take it personally if you dont watch.. someone's elses video can be awfully boring.. but usually not mine..

Things One sees in Muni

Oh my god!!
As Rich and I were going downtown this weekend.. Look at what I saw.. Made me laugh so hard before and after.. I had to share.. All of you know how I feel about dogs..

Aggressively Inquizitive -- Persian Oprah

one of my fav Docs at the clinic told me the other day that I was aggressively inquizitive--( I know I know the spelling is off but you all know what i mean )-- although I dont consider myself an aggressive anything-- I do ask a lot of questions. I think this is his way of telling me very politely that I am very nosy. I hate to admit it but it is true that I love to know about people and I am very nosy -- After all Jeff does call me Persian Oprah.. and I have been told that I should have my own talk show. Anyway.. what do you all think of that? Should I continue asking all these questions or should I be like others and not ask? huh? huh? huh? Tell me dammit.

I would post a video or something but I was so busy asking questions, I forgot to FLIP.

The HOT queen is back - Donna Summer in Concert

How much fun can it be a catch a diva in concert? OH MY GOD.... Too much fun especially when you are with a few... Saturday night, Jaime, Jeff, Stephen and I were in Paramonth Theather in Oakland -- after a very (Chinese based ) vitamenas meal which was incredible.. we went and saw her Majesty rock.. She did look a bit on the heavy side ( oh who the hell are we kidding.. she was HUGE).. the concert was a lot of fun. IF I knew how to upload music on this thing.. I would play you a view sample songs. but alas I dont.. enjoy this video.. with love sc

** Ok my computer is sick and I can not release the video that took me over three hours to make-- I dont want to wait any longer but will post the video**

**YES it is finally working-- here is the video.. a bit long over 7 minutes but it should be fun

Mom is going to be OK

I have not been around for a while because while I was in DC ( see Can A True Republican--) and in the middle of the conference had to fly to KC to visit my mom -- my mom went for a regular check up and ended up with triple bypass surgery. She is Ok now. Thank God. I spend five days in a very cool unit up in Kansas City with some amazing professionals. I loved the doctors, and the surgeon and the nurses and the PTs. Great job. every one. Here is the video we call "Thank you Kansas for a job well done!"

Three Doctors and a Dietitian

Ok.. so as I mentioned earlier ( read A DAY IN A CLINIC )-- working in East Bay especially Antioch Area has been a big culture shock-- but then once in a while, you find some amazing people that you are just awed by and you think to yourself-- WOW.. I feel very lucky. Finally after MONTHS of going back and forth.. finally able to get together with some very cool docs. Now if you ARE one of those docs, dont be concerned, this is a very very low budget blog and has all of two regular viewers. So the chances of one of your patients actually seeing you here is null. Of course another extremely cool doc ( who refuses to be photographed OR videotaped.. and you know who you are IF you ever happen to read this!! ) thought this could hurt his/her image and affect his/her MPS score.. OH PLEASE. chances of someone you know reading this is as high as you living on a different planet. Anyway.. without further ado? here is a little clip we call -- THREE DOCS and a DIETITIAN. with love... enjoy sc

p.s the best part of this video ( outside of Terry giving good tips on how to catch a man ) is seeing Panjawani through all that food. ( how symbolic is that !!! ) IT makes me laugh every time I see it.

Can a TRUE liberal be friends with TRUE republican?

Oh it is tough.. but it can be done.. This is what Giovanna ( a good friend of mine ) and I discovered as we went to DC for our Diabetes Conference. The fact that it was in DC and an election year made it much more interesting.. And since I live in SF and forget sometimes that I am in a different planet.. I was in for a bit of a culture shock when I discovered that there ARE still republincas that exist. ( EXTREMLY scary but true ) _ Anyway since about 99.9% of my friends ARE liberal.. please forgive this video.. but had to be done. We had a great trip despite of all the ( emotional ) arguments we got into.
with love to you all-- sc

p..s. remember this is a PG 13 Blog--

I am out of order

Hello my regular blog readers ( yes both of you )-- I am out of state.. and will be back in few days to start blogging -- meanwhile, I been coming up with a lot of ideas - and cant wait to put them up here.
with love and sincere thanks

This photo was taken by my favorite niece in the world!

YOU: Splashed all over the place.

So my bbf JL and I were talking and he tells me that my blog has me splashed all over the place which I take as such a compliment. Thanks.. So in view of that.. watch this video . YOU: Splashed all over the place. ALso.. I just got back from DC/KC and have some great new stuff to work on.. more on that later.. meanwhile enjoy this. If you are in this video you must know that you mean the world to me.. even if you are NOT in this video.. you should know that you still mean the world to me.. just that the photo did not fit or was not appropriate. Love to you all and see you all soon. sc

The best Neice in the world

Now as most of my regular blog readers ( yes still both of you ) know, I absoultely adore my neice and most likley so do you. How can you not? She is beautiful, amazing, brillant, smart, intelligent beyond her years and so much fun. She is the co-creator of that ( over 6000 hits ) great http://www.bigheadlittlehead.com/. She also is the author of famous detective series "the adventures of G-Max" which was New York's top ten non-fiction series for 120 weeks straingt.
She also co-directed and wrote songs to "she is totally crazy but I still love her--" and its follow up hit " Shirin and Shirin " dedicated to her grnadma and her second cousin Shrin who lives in London. The musical won 12 different TONYs including the best song of the year.

Afsee is probably going to be NOT too happy with me. but truth needs to be told.. It is MY blog and I can do whatever I want. I adore her. She is the best thing in my life. She makes me laugh -- she is constantly amaze me and I can easily contribute this whole blog to her. Instead, here is some of the best clips of our times together. Thank you for being such an amazing young lady. You totally rock and I LOVE you.

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH !

Happy Belated BIrthday Dear Jaime

Now as all of my regular blog readers ( well both of you ) know.. July 24th was Jaime's birthday. We went out to a great restaurant called CATCH and then we went and saw Drowsy Chaperoned.. ( which I am sure I am going to misspell so bad that even Spell check wont fix).. What a great night -- the musical was SO fun-- I DONT want to show off was the highlight of the show. Enjoy this clip called Jaime's birthday ( How original is that !!!! no wonder I have so many followers )-- what I love about this video is filming Kirk's chin and one place where all you see is Jaimes head and one of my eyes. This one also has oscar written all over it for the most original documentary.

Enjoy and feel free to comment

Man with big breasts

No explanation is really needed for this very funny picture. It belongs to http://www.bigheadlittlehead.com/ which is the best website ever-- However this photo is just too precious. Enjoy ( big man played by kirk -- left breast-Jeff, right breast-Karen )

Taylor is my hero-part two

as if the blog below was not enough.. check out these photos.. they say it all. Taken in front of HOME with another one of my favs.. Mr. Cid..

Taylor is my hero

Even though Taylor never ever ever blogs about me.. I am going to tell the whole wild world thay my bbf's bf is one of my favorite people and I adore him. He makes me laugh and he helps me with my blog questions AND he is the one that got me hooked. Although I have a huge thesis to work on and really should go an do laundry and blah blah.. I am blogging. I love this thing. I love Taylor.. awww. life is beautiful -- now only if I could spell his name right.

Mamma Mia

Too much fun... Too much fun..not that it changes anyones life but for two hours we were transferred into a great place and afterwards we danced and singed all the way home --

Thank you guys.. I had a great time!!

A Day in the Clinic

I am losing a lot of colleagues over these clips. So I have decided to hang it up and realize that work friends are not my people. My people ( and you all know who you are ) can not wait to be videotaped and perform ( take that however you want to )--

Work people are in different planet. Right? Different lifestyle and sense of humor. I love them and they are super cool and I am SO lucky to work with such cast of characters. However, I have gotten more threat with my camera being broken or destroyed. So.. I give it up. I will attempt to make a quick videos of what I got and then the video tape will never make itself back to the clinic.. awww. Someday, when I am no longer working there, you will all miss me so very much ( and you all know who you are ) . oh well meanwhile enjoy this little clip we call.... a day in the clinic.. No Osacr nomination for this one.. although Kerri Is too cute for her own good and Jalal is too adorable

Oscar anyone?

I do realize that Oscar Nominations are not for a while... but Steve Z. does such an amazing job on this clip 'Nasty F*&* Bitch" that I really want everyone to pay attention. This year we will do something that has never been done before.. we will have our own party with best actor, actoress and movie of the year. So please enjoy this very special PREVIEW of NASTY F*(*ing Bitch.. we are so proud of it..
