So this is the geekiest post I will do but I got to meet the creator of Livejournal at sxsw! His name is Brad Fitzpatrick He was on a panel called "How do you sell the milk when the cow is free?" about open source projects. I happened to go there because another panel was full but these things are always serendipitous. We use all open source tools on my team and we have to defend that choice to the rest of the company so it was also a useful session.

He still journals here http://brad.livejournal.com/

I got to tell him that he made my life better and I am grateful that i had a chance to say what his work meant to me in person.
This place has changed my life and community and I have missed it as a safe and almost sacred place to express myself. His little start up project has millions of users and has changed many peoples lives. This place has its limits as all the myfacetwitribebuzz sites do. But I am very glad that we have them so I can know all of you better and love all of you more.

All these social networking sites have fundamentally changed the way we interact as humans. But someone made these technologies. Someone had an idea that changed the world. I guess that is what many of us are trying to do. So thank the people that you come across that have made your life better. They need to know that. Why the fuck else are we here?

10:13 am - Don't stop till you get enough.

Had to post my favorite Roller skating bootyshaking song.
Now maybe I can get it out of my head.

"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"

[1st Verse]
Lovely Is The Feelin' Now
Fever, Temperatures Risin' Now
Power (Ah Power) Is The Force The Vow
That Makes It Happen It Asks No Questions Why (Ooh)
So Get Closer (Closer Now)
To My Body Now Just Love Me
'Til You Don't Know How (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough


[2nd Verse]
Touch Me And I Feel On Fire
Ain't Nothin' Like A Love Desire (Ooh)
I'm Melting (I'm Melting)
Like Hot Candle Wax Sensation (Ah Sensation)
Lovely Where We're At (Ooh)
So Let Love Take Us Through The Hours
I Won't Be Complanin'
'Cause This Is Love Power (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

(Ooh)

[3rd Verse]
Heartbreak Enemy Despise
Eternal (Ah Eternal)
Love Shines In My Eyes (Ooh)
So Let Love Take Us Through The Hours
I Won't Be Complanin' (No No)
'Cause Your Love Is Alright, Alright

[Chorus]
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

[Refrain]
Lovely Is The Feeling Now I Won't Be Complanin' (Ooh Ooh)
The Force Is Love Power
[Chorus]
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

12:24 pm - the beautiful struggle

life in general has been good!

i am not going to flipside
and instead I am going to see this cutie pie in NYC!

I am still stretched thin with the schedule stuff and the pregnancy
and i am not getting enough sleep
and my husband is just to irresistable lately to go to bed before he comes home at night

my mother in law anna is here but her time has been almost entirely consumed with caring for her other son matteo
so it been a tough time at home

but I am grateful for my life and my friends and for my mental health and my sexxxy husband and healthy daughter
so life is good in general and somedays are harder than others but I am getting through.

Austin is having its city council and mayoral election right now! Early voting has started and goes until May 5th. Election Day is May 9th.

12:17 pm - getting excited!

So clearly I a m pregnant and crazy but getting this Old school Pram off of craigslist for the baby and all of the clothes that sarah let me borrow has let me finally get excited about Juan Diego Reina ( working title) coming into the world.
I am still having a pretty hard time with stuff
but Sofias panty party is this wednesday! ( oh yes there will be cupcakes from Jen!)
and Anna comes on Thursday for 7 weeks so things are about to get easier.
yay babies!!!!!
Congratulations to Nobody and Emerald and Frank and Jessie! Welcome to  Evan and Miela!

10:42 am - Ah the smell of victory in the morning!

As I predicted with my smack talk - the Armando Montoya "Juatemysammichpreparetodie" Quesadilla won first place in the Lambada category of the Austin Grilled Cheese Invitational

The Lambada category is new this year and I decided on thursday that I would rather make quesadilllas so the idea had to come together quickly
I Princess QuesoCup and My husband Armando Montoya and our trusted partners in crime Princess ButterPan and the Bread Prirate Roberts (Jack and Sarah) were all dressed up and there were swordfights and fake accents and much ridiculousness as well as a very satisfying quesadilla.

The Armando was made with flour tortillas, butter, chicken fajita slices, caramelized onions and garlic, and a mix of Cheddar, Monterrey Jack, Asadero, Queso Quesadilla, Habanero Cheddar, Jalapeno Cheddar cheeses. The sauce was made of avocado puree, sour cream, and roasted salsa. The finishing touch was a shot of tequila with a lime with a sword in it.

It was awesome for my vision to be realized so completely! I am very gratefull for my team! I could never have pulled it off without you. 

I am also grateful to all that enjoyed the Armando and for the many people that came out to revel in the cheesy goodness. Thank you XT! Thank you Tim! Thank you M7! Thanks to the King and Queen on Cheese! Thanks to all the volunteers!

and thank you Before Dawn! I got Robbed in Miami made my whole night!

04:46 pm - Victory is mine!

Carlos' and My "Armando Montoya Jukilledmyfaderpreparetodie" Quesadilla will dance away with the trophy for the Lambada Category!
I will prepare whatever nationality of grilled cheese that you require my love and of course I know you must require the Armando!





Are you people ready to smell the thrill of victory?

Are you ready to gaze upon the genius of the Missionary grilled cheese sammich, in all it's fattening glory?

Are you ready to taste the sacred, savory bites of the Kama Sutra genius that separate the ordinary from the Fucking Grilled Cheese Champions™?

Are you ready to wade in the watery sea of the Honey Pot, the dessert grilled cheeses, the sammiches of the FUTURE?

Do you feel prepared to dive into the language of love, the Lambada Texas regional quesadilla category?

Well then, your wait is almost over!

THE CHEESE WILL FLOW!


Saturday night, we will raise our spatulas high in the sky, scream to the heavens and release all of God's anger and glory onto us in the form of Grilled Cheese Sammiches.

We will ride the sacred Unicorn of butter over the rainbow and right into a pot of melted cheese!

We will pick up the swords on the battlefield and fight to the death until only the few, the proud, the Fucking Grilled Cheese Champions™ remain.

We will... you get the idea.

It will be the greatest glory mankind has ever known, and we will all bear witness.

So sleep tight tonight, my childrens, because Saturday we will know God and she will taste delicious!


So, may the best cheese win!
