BIG BEAR MOUNTAIN RESORTS As of 1:00 p.m. on Thursday October 30th, it is looking as though the Big Bear Valley including Snow Summit and Bear Mountain will NOT be affected by fire. Emergency and fire crews have done an amazing job preventing the fires from reaching Big Bear. A change in weather has helped and the latest forecast is even suggesting the possibility of light snow by Friday night. Over the course of the summer, we have taken several steps to insure the safety of Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. These steps include clearing trees from all facilities and lifts and positioning an intricate sprinkler system around the ridgelines of both resorts should fire approach. As you know, the resorts have two of the largest snowmaking systems in the world that are capable of bringing vast quantities of water to all areas of the resort should fire actually reach them (which is unlikely at this point). Please keep updated with the latest info on your local news stations. We will be onsite at the Fresh Tracks show in Long Beach this weekend. Please stop by to say Hi, and check out all the latest goods from Big Bear Mountain Resorts. We absolutely plan to open as usual sometime in mid to late November and look forward to a great 03-04 season. * * * * * * * * * * i'm so there!! who's with me??

Have You Ever? [Chorus] Have you ever loved somebody so much It makes you cry Have you ever needed something so bad You can't sleep at night Have you ever tried to find the words But they don't come out right Have you ever, have you ever Have you ever been in love Been in love so bad You'd do anything to make them understand Have you ever had someone steal your heart away You'd give anything to make them feel the same Have you ever searched for the words to get you in their heart But you don't know what to say And you don't know where to start [Chorus] Have you ever found the one You've dreamed of all of your life You'd do anything to look into their eyes Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to Only to find that one won't give their heart to you Have you ever closed your eyes and Dreamed that they were there And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care [Chorus] What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby What do I gotta say to get to your heart To make you understand how I need you next to me Gotta get you in my world 'Cuz baby I can't sleep [Chorus] * * * * * * * * * * this is stuck in my head at the moment...

radio... i highly recommend this movie. it touched me so much that i cried (and i NEVER cry), but i wasn't the only one...everyone in my row was (even the boys!). i was told that some parts were overdone, but i don't think so...it was just right (if that is possible). cuba was excellent...he'll probably be nominated for an oscar for this one! =) i even bought the soundtrack. =) it was amazing. just go see it, yes...it WAS that good. =) oh and afterwords even the lady sitting next to me started talking to me about it, and the people next to them were so touched that they were touched...i even got a wave good-bye. =) "it's never a mistake to care for someone, that's always a good thing." *mwah*

food for thought Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. -George Carlin *mwah*

Ribbon In The Sky Oh so long for this night I prayed That a star would guide you my way To share with me this special day Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love If allowed may I touch your hand And if pleased may I once again So that you too will understand There's a ribbon in the sky for our love Do...Do... Do Do Do Do Do... HMM HMM... This is not a coincidence And far more than a lucky chance But what is that was always meant Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love We can't lose with God on our side We'll find strength in each tear we cry From now on it will be you and I And our ribbon in the sky Ribbon in the sky A ribbon in the sky for our love Do...Do... Do Do Do Do Do... HMM HMM... [Musical Break] There's a ribbon in the sky for our love * * * * * * * * * * this is stuck in my head...probably cause i was listening to it in my car. i'm just really happy...and i'm going home today! whooo hoooo! have a great weekend everyone! *mwah*

it's madness i tell you!! i tell you, our part of the state is going crraazzzyyyyyyyy!!! first our major grocery store employees are on strike...so instead of crossing the picketing lines i choose to cook what i have in the fridge/freezer. then mta goes on strike this morning...so it's hellish out there on the mean streets of la! i heard that even the kids will have to get rides to get home after school. traffic will be hell for the next couple of days or more...and who knows how long the grocery employees will be on strike. it's madness!!!! argghhhhhhh!!!!

lead the way Who would've believed That you and me would fall And land together And who could've foreseen In you I'd find the place I've belonged forever And, if I move closer Then love will take over And lead the way. I'd given up hope Losing the faith that love Could be mine to treasure And, now Nothing's the same I found myself reborn On the day I met you And, if we move closer Then love will take over And lead the way. Suddenly, you are lying here with me And the truths I used to hold have changed And, if I move closer And let it take over Then love will lead the way. If we move closer And let it take over Then love will lead the way. * * * * * * * * * * i heard this on a re-run of ally mcbeal...anyone have it? i really like it. =)

Do I promise you Do I promise you Do I promise you I do Do I promise you I do * * * * * * * * * * this was the song in my head that i woke up to. no, it wasn't playing on the radio, it was just playing...in my head. anyway...it's friday!! so ya'll have a happy friday!!! and the bestest weekend!! *mwah*

DEAL WITH IT!! ahhhhh, gotta love it! *MWAH*

Capricorn It may seem like everyone around you is happy and getting what they want, while you are still stuck in the trenches, dear Capricorn. Don't compare yourself to other people and make judgments based on their outside appearances. The truth of the matter is that most likely they are only looking at the immediate future and only experiencing short-term pleasures. You, however, have your eyes set on the long haul, and will probably be much better off overall. * * * * * * * * * * i like my horoscope for today. =) have a beautiful day everyone...and don't forget to vote (well, all of you out here on the west side *throws up the 'dub*). *mwah*

recall election... GO OUT THERE AND VOTE CALIFORNIANS!!! i did it via absentee, so go out there and let your voice be heard!! every vote counts!! especially in this election...it's history in the making. yay california!! whoooo hoooooo!! go to it!! *MWAH*

something to keep in mind i told this to a friend of mine today, "you can't always play it safe. . . sometimes it's good to take a chance." you gotta at least try right?

happy yom kippur =)

something nice to share Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. Maybe it is true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one smiling and everyone around you is crying. * * * * * * * * * * thanks kevin! =)

random thought... Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen carefully. -Land Before Time * * * * * * * * * * i stole this from bumblebootie. it was just speaking to me this morning (and apparently. . . i was listening). thanks girlie. . . *mwah*

Come And Talk To Me (Intro) I've been watching you, baby For a long time You look so good Got my eyes on you (Verse 1) I've been watching you For so every long Trying to get my nerve built up To be so strong I really want to meet you But I'm kinda of scared 'Cause you're the kind of lady With so much class I get my thoughts together For the every next day But when I see you lady I forget what to say Your eyes demand Such a beautiful tone The way you dress and walk It really turns me on, yeah... Ooh, yeah, you really turn me on Come on, come on, come on... (Chorus) Come and talk to me I really want to meet you Can I talk to you I really want to know you Come and talk to me I really want to meet you Can I talk to you I really want to know you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... (Verse 2) There you are again With the same smile on each day I wanna know what it is That makes me feel this way I wish I could grab you Tell you what it means to me To see you walking my way It really makes my day Before I go to sleep And dream about you I'm a single man I hope that you are single, too Why do I seek Something to set my mind free 'Cause curiosity is bugging The hell out of me, baby... Talk to me, talk to me Talk to me, baby (Chorus) You want to tell me your name Let me play your game You want to tell me your name Let me play your game (Vamp Out) * * * * * * * * * * * this song just popped into my head... been reminiscing. i really want a slow jam cd. dammit. i'll be your best friend. ;) oh and these new colors remind me of vanilla ice cream with strawberry topping... i always want to lick my screen whenever i see it. heh.
