(One more thing checked off my list) It was a charity event raising awareness on human slavery. There are people in this world that are forced into the sex trade, child soldiers etc... I've always wanted to add to the world and be part of the change. Just like Gandhi said, " Be the change you want to see in the world."</div><br /><div>I painted a shot of a box of baby doll parts as a symbol of the fragility of life and how people are being treated as throw away possesions. The hardest part is knowing that a majority of the slavery is children and they are the future to the world. The title of my piece was </div><br /><div>INNOCENCE LOST-PRECIOUS LIVES TORN APART<br /><br />There were quite a few artists there and a couple of bands. It was neat to see people walking up and looking at something I created and seeing them talking about it. There was also a documantary being shown called Call+Response and it is being screened in all of the major US cities. The documentary is a bunch of muscians, celebrities, poitical figures giving their respose along with actual footage of people living in this torture. It was a definate eye opener and the crowd was quite large and quite taking it all in , many i'm sure in disbelief.</div><br /><br /><div>Thanks to everyone who came out not only to support me but to support those who need it most in this world.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Natalie and Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13245803212341963963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972822523052536551.post-4725759942364702412009-02-03T23:06:00.000-08:002009-02-03T23:47:48.093-08:00THE LISTSo I was up one night just thinking about life and I want to do so many things. I let my mind wander at all of the possibilities and decided to take all of those ideas and dreams and put them into motion. I made a LIST. I wrote down everything and anything that came to mind, without reviewing or analyzing, that I would like to do in my lifetime. (And I am still adding to it eveyday) 4 and a 1/2 pages later I was thrilled to see what my soul really desired. What really makes a full life other than the day to day trials and tribulations at work and home. Surprisingly I think we all censor our own lives to think within very small boundries.Well,I think I've started to find out that most of the boundries can and should be crossed to really feel the wind in our hair and thd the sunlight warm our face. Finding joy and love in the little things in life bring great adventures that change lives forever.<br />While I was sitting there notebook open and a pen in my mouth Sheldon called me and asked what I was up to. I dropped the idea of my list on him. He thought it was interesting and I shared a few things I had scribbled down. Then he said he wanted a copy of it. Without thinking I made him a copy of my very personal, uncensored list.<br />He has done some research on things to do to help me accomplish my list( and surprised me with some) and we might just do many of them together. We are going to cross them off and take pictures of everything on the list as we go.<br />I want to share it with you to let everyone know more about who I am and maybe inspire people to look at their own lives and really make it an <em>experience. </em><br /><br /><div align="center">THE LIST</div><ul><li><div align="center">journal</div></li><li><div align="center">ride in a

Too much positive thinking. I thought it would be going on strong even after the parade. We just saw the remnants of the festival of confetti in the street and people walking around with their chinese tourist goods. But walking back to the car we came across where someone tagged on the floor. They must know I love love love pugs. This pic is for Kazu, my lovepug.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Natalie and Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13245803212341963963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972822523052536551.post-38642720819132733162009-02-03T22:27:00.000-08:002009-02-03T23:05:57.578-08:00The Americana in Glendale<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBKHQORCmhBmJYBJ8z9Ogl3jp6ZkF-0QSQbsPd4d6QbEweI26EOLcXO2YRABR_1OBZArKmj0wpusz5WwrfFvgA7ovKh2JLd50gLI85587-jbNIYzjLgllYSGsEmDOCDfEVKdXergos5A/s1600-h/americana5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298825447931674210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 170px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 127px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrBKHQORCmhBmJYBJ8z9Ogl3jp6ZkF-0QSQbsPd4d6QbEweI26EOLcXO2YRABR_1OBZArKmj0wpusz5WwrfFvgA7ovKh2JLd50gLI85587-jbNIYzjLgllYSGsEmDOCDfEVKdXergos5A/s320/americana5.jpg" border="0" /></a> LOL!!

Afterwards we were jst driving around chit chatting and I mentioned that I want to go one day and find a spot where the planes fly right over you. Then we kept talking and talking and Sheldon said he was going to drive us somewhere as a surprise. I had no idea what he was up to until we got near LAX airport and he knew a spot where the planes fly right over. I mean RIGHT OVER! So we parked and ran out. It was crazy they looked like they were going to toucht the light posts and they were sooooo loud! It was awesome!

We about died laughing for a good hour. Thank god it was only Stefani and not a group of people! He was so proud of his panty raid.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fdV1V6-J2Z25LKDmFJNNO661O7yWZfH01vgLELWzjLjvg6pUGftH_d7-3Bs0gz01SyBKeCcgomdEo8c3sDeIdrw41wDnMdBAFM0afYi8vIb464Mk3DQhnNSdrN4aZv4zb8J8O7RsykA/s1600-h/panty+raid.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295059813868671250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3fdV1V6-J2Z25LKDmFJNNO661O7yWZfH01vgLELWzjLjvg6pUGftH_d7-3Bs0gz01SyBKeCcgomdEo8c3sDeIdrw41wDnMdBAFM0afYi8vIb464Mk3DQhnNSdrN4aZv4zb8J8O7RsykA/s320/panty+raid.jpg" border="0" /></a> Shop, shop, shop! He LOVES going to Petco. There are so many smells and other puppies shopping. We always walk down the chew isle and he gets to pick out a little something. If there was a SuperMarket Sweep gameshow for dogs he would totally win.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvupSkegKFQJNvY47ceMgIryG9JKy4jSRVETXANEBVtYeIgrnDOmez3nSq5HP9_iPPZeUspSkFBCWwDyZL0KXGl756B9RfrLiLTjfGGAguH6QNoNkwzxQJ43Js8Ws6WfvQ2H_Z-OFJgw/s1600-h/Petco.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295059815020619506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvupSkegKFQJNvY47ceMgIryG9JKy4jSRVETXANEBVtYeIgrnDOmez3nSq5HP9_iPPZeUspSkFBCWwDyZL0KXGl756B9RfrLiLTjfGGAguH6QNoNkwzxQJ43Js8Ws6WfvQ2H_Z-OFJgw/s320/Petco.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Fridays are Kazu's abosulte FAVORITE day of the week. It's trashday and between 7:15 and 7:45 the noisy, stinky truck pulls up. He loses it and runs around the house and hops up and around the window like a madman. I'm in the bathroom getting ready for work and he runs from the window to me tailwaggin and tongue out as if to say,"It's here! OMG It's here! Do you see it?! C'mon C'mon let's go!" I just reassure him yes yes Kazy I know the trash truck is here wow yeah it's exciting. So if Fridays my eyeliner is a bit crooked, this is why.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLvUGeZi7lSm5MyCF5OowtyPnVbF3pf0zcy7SC6yYUek2hyoyAsFQFJuKdQIoYRkEScKaAmrHBXAJc0ObC55hNXs-cq6tVF12uVjTUl1zHSfqgG9ipWG49P9-ZdREP-EPgzafv5tpNyg/s1600-h/trashday!.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295059806968550770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLvUGeZi7lSm5MyCF5OowtyPnVbF3pf0zcy7SC6yYUek2hyoyAsFQFJuKdQIoYRkEScKaAmrHBXAJc0ObC55hNXs-cq6tVF12uVjTUl1zHSfqgG9ipWG49P9-ZdREP-EPgzafv5tpNyg/s320/trashday!.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Halloween '08-The chubby pug thought it would be a great idea to dress up as a bumblebee. It seemed to be a hot costume this season so after two Petco trips and two extra chewbones later we found one. My neighbors dressed their dogs up too and we all hung out in the front yard passing out candy and everyone that came by got huge kicks out of him "buzzing" around. He's quite the showoff.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kDq2rJrSwMI_2fHxhgYgQzfbahQlhoNCx8rF9UrnQYjZrskdIcYiTJQNVxtdCOuROi4UOXby30g6H0E5cdYltN9rFfAYUi9gzhLf7mQaVN5fiURl5cthiKCM_5DTJFQvXcfi_kXX0l8/s1600-h/Halloween+2008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295059806891586626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kDq2rJrSwMI_2fHxhgYgQzfbahQlhoNCx8rF9UrnQYjZrskdIcYiTJQNVxtdCOuROi4UOXby30g6H0E5cdYltN9rFfAYUi9gzhLf7mQaVN5fiURl5cthiKCM_5DTJFQvXcfi_kXX0l8/s320/Halloween+2008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Natalie and Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13245803212341963963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972822523052536551.post-42353012709861187972009-01-20T18:08:00.001-08:002009-01-20T18:19:24.171-08:00Kickball!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3gx4E_ryqxtJrhd09TYhPXT0m5jsJBt5t5yHQvdwArNGDAU0OEl4oCpV7ej0r4bL-5JrZMgAyAaycAcV32yKbKp6vpL7q0alIGeb0yiHNPKzvyB89NyrerlYCzCDOlMBdhHId6DUFgAo/s1600-h/kickball.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293565859816118978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3gx4E_ryqxtJrhd09TYhPXT0m5jsJBt5t5yHQvdwArNGDAU0OEl4oCpV7ej0r4bL-5JrZMgAyAaycAcV32yKbKp6vpL7q0alIGeb0yiHNPKzvyB89NyrerlYCzCDOlMBdhHId6DUFgAo/s400/kickball.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Soooo..... Sheldon and I signed up for an adult kickball league. He played a bit when he lived in Las Vegas. It sounded like fun so why not?</div><br /><div>Last night was our first get together to meet our team and get a little practice in. There are about 20 of us and everyone is pretty fun. </div><br /><div>They annouced our team name, Cobra Kai. I love it since it was the name of the bad guys from Karate Kid. Hilarious! So I'm going to try and con everyone into wearing bandana's karate style :)</div><br /><div>After our practice alot of the Studio Division which is several teams, met up at a sportsbar. They gave us nifty braclets that later will be replaced with our team shirts and it gives us a discount at the bar. This is wear it veers off from a regular organized sport. Beer, beer everywhere. It was nice to knock back a few and get to know our new teammates.</div>Natalie and Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13245803212341963963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972822523052536551.post-88060316650966186532008-12-31T09:53:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:46:48.987-08:00First year baby pics with our moms and dads<div align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286027175806202162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbRwo16rY0lqSsoCDdEQAHNqpktPfBWi9-ljk2E1HvoHw1ylFvX1fbt9tZfiQR8_JHiRUjU7ftFaM_6xoW5NjzInwC6WpoybcZ0exupoIGprFlho_aRwc2NrsweZBPmj0JEuIupQ2PJbA/s400/nat+and+shel-mom+and+dad.JPG" border="0" /></div>Natalie and Sheldonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13245803212341963963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972822523052536551.post-37626779598457562432008-12-30T16:38:00.000-08:002008-12-30T16:57:15.458-08:00tootsies!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeoziYf_lOMQjB4CDZy5zQrurOPAr_RNFbT_SKpSfR_hN5ZOWn04hKd7_aDsnI4LvDE7Gxi97irVbtixhgHPKsKO7j7pslJTmNXZ1gotbbILHjtTT3Erw0UjDLDwdEVdQ4C8zBy43fiPo/s1600-h/Sheldon+057.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285751372862573746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeoziYf_lOMQjB4CDZy5zQrurOPAr_RNFbT_SKpSfR_hN5ZOWn04hKd7_aDsnI4LvDE7Gxi97irVbtixhgHPKsKO7j7pslJTmNXZ1gotbbILHjtTT3Erw0UjDLDwdEVdQ4C8zBy43fiPo/s320/Sheldon+057.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>OK so I'm beginning to get over the whole idea that feet are gross.
