Who's in Control of Your Ovaries? (Motherhood)

"And Adam called dhis wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living." Gen. 3:20 

From the moment a female finds out she is pregnant life changes.  Shortly after that the back hurts, she becomes tired, doesn't want to be touched, feet swells, face swells, people greet the belly instead of her.  People no longer say hello, they star and talk to the baby to be.  Family says hiand right   away starts asking how do you feel. As if suddenly you should be feeling something, but your not sure what, so you ask the question you don't want to ask.  "How should I be feeling?"  As soon as that question gets asked....put on your listening ears cause the rest of the time you will be hearing about every women who is there experience with pregnancy.  The Good and the not so good.  I can remember thinking....help me.

Your mom tells everyone about how her pregnancy was with you.  How she felt,  It is her payback time.  Her time to share how you made her feel.  How you took away her freedom. How life changes after you have a baby, and the marriage is never the same.  I laugh at how things can be so different from one women to another. 

Technically, do you think Eve would have accepted the name if she knew its definition?  I think not!  she would of had to choose which living thing she wanted.  Do you want this or this or that.  If I had to do over I would have told God, I want.....  Instead of "Dear God, may I please have....honestly no mom want to think of their son as a "Fill-her", but was that what God meant by all living things? But then again was the snake one of those living things?  If so was he from Adams thought life?

I think if Adam was the best God could make then think about it...he reacted to the snake exactly how men react to "Honey, I'm pregnant." They look at us like we are from another planet.  As if we did it all by ourselves. Confession l know their are devises that exist like that but I don't think it is God's best.  However, they don't talk much either.  So who knows.  "Not right now..I am just about to....Oh touchdown!  What did you say honey your what?" 

What is Motherhood really about.  Ask your children in about 20 years if they are still talking to you and see what they answer.  My answer...."Love".  Learning to love in a way that nothing on earth or heaven will ever teach how totally and completely you can love another human. That raising one of those living thing God gave Eve took a whole lot of GRACE!

Who Has Control of Your Ovaries? (Girlfriends)

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

Do you remember when everything in life was about Love?  That moment and time in life when you don't care about time.  When you look at the women around you and think...how do they do it all.  They all look so amazing. The time before adolescence when mom, women, young teens are all looking a little different than most, but your not sure why.  This is such a perfect time you begin to wonder what will I be like when I grow up.  

Boys are not an issue because your old enough.  You dream of the right one for you. You can't help but think about what your life will become.  Your girlfriends mom becomes more interesting than yours, only because you have heard of all the stories of how great her youth was by now.

 

I had this friend that I will never forget.  She was a lot like me and yet a lot different.  We had so much fun.  We could talk about everything. We could sit and talk for hours about what our life would be like. Her mom seemed so different to me than mine.  She was quiet, reserved and very much about being a good mom.  (I don't mean that as a judgement, more as an observation)  Her mom stayed home all day. Doing what I don't know, I was to young to know at the time.  My mom was a working mom who was always stressed and didn't have time to play and enjoy life.  It was always about making sure the schedule was right, the house was clean, that we had chores enough to keep us busy.  Her mom was about letting her daughter dream.

One day I remember she invited me over.  I remember sitting at the kitchen table, while my friend was getting ready to play.  Her dad, mom and I sat there for a few minutes just staring at each other.  After a short while...her mom asked me if I would like a cup of coffee.  I said yes, please. Both parents gave me this look like I had done something terribly wrong.  Her dad with a concerned voice asked "Are you allowed to drink coffee?"  I said yes I have been drinking it since I was a baby.

I had to explain the cultural difference between my culture, which is also American and California's. The look on their faces was one I will never forget.

 

"Who Has Control of your Overies?" (Era)

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

It's funny what women go through to become an independent individual.  From the time I was a child I remember looking at my mother and thinking she was Beautiful. The era was an age of innocence and we had just moved to California.    High heals were what we call pumps today and no matter when you left your home to go out we would wear a suit or a dress and a sweater.  Gloves, carry a handbag and a hat.  Everyone looked the same but different.  Class was never an issue of cloths or the things we owned but how we behaved.  Even then it was how we behaved in public.  We were taught etiquette.

We were taught that yes meant yes and no meant no.  Woman were taught to say no allot.  Especially in public and to strangers. My mom's beauty was seen by many.  They loved her.  She was funny because with my sister and I she was so stricken that even we could not understand the difference in her personality.  With her friends she was a different being and always played the victim.  It is funny thing to watch, it was also innocence in her, I like to think.

10 Reasons Hiring an Independent Event Planner is Good for Business

There is a song that use to be played on the radio called "MONEY, MONEY,

MONEY". I can't help but smile. In the our youth thats all the average person  wants. Buying power. Your not old enough to earn it and you have to rely on others helping you.  Then you grow up and discover in business it is the very much the same way. We want money.  We do things to save money.  We think if we hire in house it will save money, or cost less but will it?

10 Reasons Hiring an Independent Event Planner is Good for Business 

1.  Independent event planners bring creative resources to help you stay within budget. Resources you average employee does not have.

2.  Independent event planners charge a percentage of the budget, not hourly wages. However, if you prefer hourly wage they can do that as well.  It is considered contract work.

3.  Independent event planners know people you don't. We are trained to have resources the average small business doesn't. 

4.  Independent event planners know the regulations of running meetings and  events. Understand city rules and regulations, when you have to get permits and when you don't. We work with city, local police and security.

5.  Independent event planners have venue knowledge that your business might not know therefore saving you money.

6.  Independent event planners are trained to negotiate contracts and can tell you if you are getting a good price for what you want.

7.  Independent event planners know the difference between a meeting or event put together by a staff person and one that is professionally designed to help your business.

8. Independent event planners know when you succeed they succeed therefore they are about helping you more than an employee, who is doing the planning because you asked them to. Its just another thing the employer put on them rather than something they love to do. Independent event planners love to plan events.

9.  Independent event planners know things about running a meeting, seminar or event that your employee doesn't. How to make people feel comfortable, how to arrange seating so that people listen better, get more out of the event.

10. Independent are trained professionals.  If you want a successful event and your business is about success, what do you think the average independent event planner is about, making their business a success.  Therefore, its a win / win situation for both.

Good business practices and ethics is about both parties winning.  Celebrations, are about success! That's why we call them Diamond Occurrence!  Let MK Pure Diamond Events celebrate yours by hiring us to plan your event. Call today. (619) 549-1656

Telephone vs IP Phone

Telephone Vs IP Phone

Today I was reading an article in Money Magazine. I was delighted to read what I have been telling my friends and family for years. Keep your land line. In the article it talked about the importance of a telephone line in the home / office that is not a IP Phone. The article spoke of in emergency situations when the power goes out the cell phones don't work, however the land line does. I thought this was interesting since so many of our phones even though pulled into the telephone are electrical. Will they bring back a phone like we use to have that just plugs into the telephone line without plugging into the electrical line as well? Good question right? Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for this blog, but I do have the hope that nothing major will happen in the USA where we would all be tested on that one.
I know this sounds strange but like vintage clothing I am going to go shopping for a vintage phone until someone makes one that is not electrical. Maybe it will be Red like in the movies...and I will have my own White House emergency phone.Executive Summary

Cornmeal Isn't Zucchini Is It?

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

There are so many old fashion recipes with cornmeal. Many a mom has used this ingredient, especially if they were born during the depression era with money being far between.  Your parents may have a few recipes.  I wish I could say this was an original one but I can't. Many of the other recipes I have posted are.

                                           

   

Ingredients:

1/2 chopped fresh basil

2 garlic cloves

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 cups sliced zucchini (about 1 lbs) (1/4 inch)

1 medium onions, halved, thinly sliced

2 cups cherry, tomatoes, halved thinly sliced

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Cornmeal

1. Heat oven to 375 F. Spray 6 - cup glass or ceramic gratin dish with cooking spray. Combine basil and garlic in small bowl. Combine salt and pepper in small cup.

2. Layer one-third each of the zucchini, onion and tomatoes in dish; sprinkle with one-third of the basil mixture and one-third of the sal mixture. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Repeat layers twice.

3. Combine cheese and cornmeal in small bowl until blended. With fork, stir in remaining 1 teablespoon oil until moisteened. Sprinkle over gratin.

4.  Bake 40-45 minutes or until zucchini is tender.

Here is the one thing people don't tell you is some people just like their vegetables to have a little cruch to it.  You have to decided how cooked you like your vegetables and adjust the cooking time accordingly.  I have also used the ingridents with carrotts and other squash vegetables.  Bon Apetite
