Christmas is Next Week … What’s Up With That?!

Sooooo in case anyone hasn’t noticed Christmas is next week. WHAT. Is. Up. With. That?

As the years go by I see how much more time flies. I feel like only a few short weeks ago it was Thanksgiving…o wait it was.

Speaking of which, this year was yet again an epic Thanksgiving for the Santos fam bam.

After a night of boozieness in Monterey on Wednesday with ol friends … the standard, a few beers before, head to Alvarado, stand in the - you’re standing way to close to me - line at Lala’s knowing that you must order a double because you don’t know when how long its going to be until your next one…

Roll out of bed and head to Cayucas to my Auntie Dar and Uncle Nate’s home. To the top of the mountain we went. The next three days were spent with family, friends, vineyards, hikes, sweatpants, food and an odd combination of College Football and the Housewives of Beverly Hills … not sure why but both men and women alike were enthralled.

We, a family 20+ deep, huddle up in my Auntie Dar and Uncle Nate’s home at the top of Wallace mountain. They have to be the most interesting people I know. Auntie Dar known for always having enough air mattresses/beds for everyone, boiling the silverware, making sure you take your shoes off at the door b/c they might have “PO” (poison oak) on them, for buzzing around the kitchen managing an entire meal with such a calm demeanor and for having Shrinky Dinks for the kids to color and watch shrink as they bake in the oven.

She has the ability for you to actually miss her the moment you see/talk to her because you can actually feel how wonderful she is and how happy you are to have her as your Aunt. It's weird that someone can make you feel homesick when you are home.

My favorite part about Uncle Nate is that he is a freak of nature. I have no idea how old he is but I hope I am as ambitious, motivated and active when I get to be that age. I always learn something when I’m around him. Maybe something about grapes and wine and his new blends, or where to hike on the mountain, or maybe about his days as a school teacher or about the new goat that was born that he had to bottle feed b/c the mom rejected her AND then I get to feed the goat.

And of course the meal is ridiculous. But before the meal our family tradition (and educational moment) is when everyone forms a circle around the tables and holds hands. First person to start is given the A and they have to mention something they are thankful for that starts with the letter “A”, next person has “B” and so on. This year I had “O”, I was thankful for my cousin’s beautiful/smart daughter Olivia. It's nice to stop for a minute and let everything in 1 room be about 1 thing. What we are thankful for…”H” for health, “F” for friends, and so on.

After the meal of 2 different stuffings and a dozen different desserts, everyone retires to their favorite food coma position. For me this year, I had a primo spot in the comfy chair right in front of the game with a pillow so perfectly tucked for me to take a Tryptophan power nap to gear up for round 2.

Nice. Yes, thanksgiving on the mountain is one of my favorite trips to take with my family.

Moving on to Christmas…I have been assigned the notorious Relish Tray. Last year I really stepped up my game so I look forward to setting yet again another record for the tastiest assortment of pickled crap known to your local grocery store.

And LOOK There’s More!

A musical moment brought to you by Positive Polly...

I first heard about Alma Desnuda a few years back through my friend Karen, her co worker Paul was part of this band and I had always heard great things. The first time I saw them perform was outside of the Fillmore before a Brett Dennen show just jamming out for the wild kids that came out to wait in line early and have a good time on the street. I think the next time I saw them was maybe at a house party of sorts, always a good vibe and HAPPY/Thankful men.

This past Monday I went to their live show at Yoshi’s in SF. Let me just say they have come so far from that corner outside the Fillmore. They moved and grooved the audience and I am truly thankful for being able to see their set. Thanks guys.

A song that sticks out in "Great Big Water". One of the first times I heard this song I think I was on a 10 hour bus somewhere in Bolivia with Karen, we were stressed that the transmission or tires were going to blow out so she suggested we listen to some Alma D.

With 1 ear bud in my right ear and the other in her left…we were able to relax.

All in all this band does what seems like more for the communities it travels to then for themselves.

Check out their music and the trailer to a documentary about them if you feel so inclined, by their album or buy some stuff, these guys are going on tour to Austrailia and Indonesia, help buy them a beer, they deserve it…

Will be back soon.

Love,

Polly

Captain’s log, Wednesday September 8th 2010, 6:31pm

Captain’s log, Wednesday September 8th 2010, 6:31pm

I’m writing this from what I think the captain just said, “41,000 feet” (is that right?) and (1) really large and expensive airport beer deep.

I’m having a moment in a surprisingly spacious airplane cabin. At 6:05PM I (passenger A47) boarded my SW flight to Denver, on my first “traveling” with wings adventure with CitySolve (CS). CS has a race in both Denver this Saturday September 11th.

Myself and amazing coworker slash partner in crime slash amazing, Andrea (ooo ooo yea girl blog shout out!!!) will meet in Denver tomorrow to finalize the plans for what will be another race day of debauchery on Saturday. From here I get to have my wonderful friend, Lola from Sacramento/Colorado pick me up from the airport and celebrate my first trip to Colorado. Lucky girl I am.

Its here, as I stretch my legs, b/c no one is sitting next to me that I compose this blog and that I have a self proclaiming …. AAAHAAA moment.

For those of you facebook followers that I know from my S.T.A.R days as a youngen, you hopefully as I do remember our morning sessions with our S.T.A.R leaders where we rehearsed and studied the idea and the concept of an actor’s character, “AHAA” moment. I know I do. For those of you that didn’t join us for Summer Theater Arts Repertoire (fancy words for Summer Acting Camp) at the ripe age of 12, try to follow along if you can’t figure out what a 12 year old could – an AAHAAA moment.

This AHA moment is brought on as I stare out the small rectangle window headed to a destination that I have never been and I have nothing but excitement.

I think a little over a year ago, I would be full of anxiety and nerves. Well, the person I was a year or 2 ago wouldn’t have boarded the plane, left Sacramento or quit her stable job and took on one of the biggest leaps of her life. This Jen/Positive Polly did just that – a year later I/ME/MYSELF/JEN/POLLY did that. And that is my AHA moment.

And I couldn’t be happier.

For those of you close enough to know who I was 2 years ago (not just 1 year) – you know that I was not I/ME/MYSELF/JEN/POLLY. I had let something/one destructive take over me like a disease and it was 2 years ago that I started curing myself of that sickness and began the adventure of finding who I/ME/MYSELF/JEN/POLLY really was.

Well here I am. And I Love I/ME/MYSELF/JEN/POLLY. I am now officially who I want to be and where I want to be (of course not perfect and this journey is no where near over).

AHAA.

For my Positive Polly quote of the day, I want to repeat a similar idea from above.

Find the version or yourself that you like the most…and be that person everyday. By reminding myself to be the best and most positive version of myself – I have found myself here.

As I try to reiterate my thoughts, I don’t have everything figured out and I DO NOT know the key(s) to happiness, but I know what makes me a lil better and really that’s all I can hope for, for anyone…just to always try and be a lil better.

Signing off…still at some absurd height in the sky…now (1) glass of red wine deep (cheers mom).

Love,

Polly

Sunshine

Hello again,

It has been a very very very eventful week/weekend.

Its amazing how much can change in a weekend. I have just finished packing a HUGE suitcase that somehow needs to fit all of my belongings for my first week away from Sacramento. What a crazy week this is going to be...
- Exploring my way throughout Piedmont, Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco.
- Starting a new job that is bound to change me forever. Gulp. Eyes Wide Open.
- Saying goodbye for now to friends that I love
- Saying hello to old friends and making new connections
- Saying hello to my new Niece! Anabella Grace

As everyone has been telling..."I have many new adventures to come". This encouragement has kept me more that positive. Of course the hardest thing about all of this is leaving those that I love, those that I feel normal around, that I feel at home with and those friends that have supported me throughout the past 8 years. Tear.
BUT I couldn't have asked for a better situation...amazing job, new environment, and great family to stay with.

The sunshine has been out this week and I have been soaking in it. That vitamin D has done me good.
Looking for some fun tonight...maybe some trouble!

Here is the link to our next race in SAN FRANCISCO!

Heart and Soul

Recently I was reminded by a friend that my blog followers put their Heart and Soul into reading this so I should refrain from the "teaser" blogs ... like the past 2.

So I'm back. Enjoy some updates of my journeys:

As promised Bay to Breakers Shenanigans ... speaking of Nick...a group of us convened at Nick and Kim's lovely new home in Oakland and prepped for what would be one of the longest (earliest) beverage consuming days ever. Its been a while since I cracked a beer at 6:30am and enjoyed the sweet (or not so sweet) taste of Bud Light.
As we boarded BART at 6:30 AM in our Shower Caps and Robes garb we were greeted by actual "racers" as they giggled, pointed and stared at our short shorts, short robes, shower caps, long socks and fanny packs, the only plausible response we had was, "Do you guys know where we can find a shower?"

From there we ventured to a rooftop party (mind you at 7:30am) there we get reved and ready for the day to come. As you can imagine the day was a bit crazy... backpacks of beer, costumes o plenty, donut holes, phallic shaped buildings, drunken cheetah, too many ninja turtles, the street o pee, hayes hill madness, Jesus, the Pope, the most amazing portapotties, butt slapping, and old and new friends.
I ran with an oldie but a good crew that day, 2 of my boys that I have been friends for years (since I was 19, yikes). It was great playing with them for the day and reliving the days when we were young and drinking all day in costumes was a common occurrence. Luff chew guys.

The Cherry Hut Chronicles
Big Ralph is at it again this year...this time with a sidekick, his son. That's right people, Ralphie is now a full time El Camino Packing employee. History must repeat itself..Santos and Son is back...
For an update on this years cherry crop, check out my link to the right. A local news team came out to the orchards and interviewed the Ralphs.

Whats Up With That??
2 things...
1. Deadliest Catch airing the death of one of the captains. Seriously? I walked into the break room today and as I'm prepping my breakfast as a news station is discussing how terrible it is that the Discovery Channel showed one of the featured captains passing and death. Not to mention with his son in the back ground watching what would probably be the worst day of his own life. The contradiction that this new station is broadcasting to 100's of thousands of people disgusts me. The story as told by the barbie/ken duo, attempted to depict concern or astonishment that the DC would show such an event. BUT the ENTIRE time barbie/ken were talking the footage from the Discover Channel was looping in the back ground over and over and over again. Not only do I wave my pointy finger at the what I thought was a decent and semi respectable source of reality TV, Discovery Channel. But I'm obviously disgusted with the news station that was looping the footage. I'm assuming at this point I don't have to share my sentiment about how private that matter is. More importantly cameras were only rolling for money and us dumb Americans that can't get enough of someone else's problems. WHATs UP WITH THAT!?
If I can encourage you to do anything...please don't youtube it, google it, bing it, hulu it etc...thats how we can show respect.
How's that for heart and soul Nickie?


What's up with that #2:
2. Pre-Date Rituals for Men:
Everyday on my commute to work I listen to Mark & Brian in the morning on 96.9FM. This morning the guys were naming off rituals men should do before a first date (see link to right for descriptions). As I was listening I heard things that I haven't seen a man do for me in years, I started to wonder about the dating pool that us twenty somethings are dealing with. Check out the list.
- Shine your shoes
- Clean your car
- Apply Fragrance an hour before you meet
- Manscape
- Iron your shirts
- Pack a date kit: gum, breath mints, money, etc
- Shave
- Clean your sheets and your bathroom
- Confirm your plans
- Work out

Now, let me digress for a moment. Some of these rituals are a lil fancy for my liking...that being said I am more of a low maintenance girl and am completely turned off by the high maintenance man that truly manscapes his face like a race track or expects to wooo me into his clean sheets b/c he shined his shoes. BUT to me I found it interesting, because it seems like the art of the "First Date" is fading fast in our generation...its more like "lets get a drink" or "I'll text you" or "meet you there" or "if you're around...". And in NO way are things necessarily bad, nor are men the only ones causing this lack of romance and chivalry. Because that's really what it is right? Romance. B/C in the grand scheme of things, romance means business. Business time. OR it means that your feelings and intentions are out there, take them or leave them. And isn't that what people seem to be hiding or rather protect? For the good or the bad of those feelings, they are pushed aside.
No I am not jaded, No I am not a man-hater, Yes, I will stay positive in this dating pool. :)
I just found it an interesting discussion topic. "I'm getting verklempt, here, I'll give you a topic...dating in 2010, discuss" I heart Mike Myers.

Alright everyone, open your minds and have a beautiful day... <3

Choose To...26 my year in review

Hello again,

Today's Positive Post is entitled :
"Choose To" after the following motivational epitaph that a good friend, no GREAT friend sent to me literally years ago (thanks G).
Here we go:
"Choose to not live a life of mediocrity
Choose to not argue about trivial things
Choose to not worry, fret or cry about small injustice
Choose to not let others control your destiny
Choose to be punctual, orderly and diligent
Choose to believe in yourself
Choose to live a life of action not words
Choose to practice, drill and rehearse
Choose to be a positive person
Choose to never quit learning.
And by making these choices you have now chosen to be successful. "

I have this posted in my office and I try to remind myself to look up at my cork board and read these inspiring and mindful words. As always, this is not my soapbox to say that I have mastered these things and you should too. In NO way is this me tooting my horn. No way, I struggle with a lot of these simple words daily. Some days I can master the idea of "believing in myself" and other days I feel knocked down. Or some days it feels necessary to procrastinate just a tincy bit. The point here is that I think this lil anecdote is something that can give us hope in ourselves, that we are capable people.
I think that a lot of the time we unconsciously sell ourselves too short. I know I can do that to myself, self sabotage, no good.
This leads me to my, "Whats Up With That?" for the day. As you can see I highlighted the, "Choose to not let others control your destiny" .
I'm beginning to see that I have let people, jobs, excuses do this to me. This is no one else's fault besides my own. Talk about an Ah haa moment! Sure I can blame things on external circumstances, weather, sleep, timing, sickness, the moon, my zodiac sign, bad Chinese, car trouble, etc for why I didn't do or stopped something that would have benefited my destiny. But really I am in control of Me. No one or No thing. Just me. A very empowering and surprisingly scary realization. Whats up with that!?
Leave it to the eve of my 27 birthday to post this. Perhaps it is the shadow of 30 approaching me like a mountain that seems unfathomable to climb. So here I go with all of this life stuff.
What I do know is that I am capable of the life that I want to live and sometimes I have to remind myself of this daily... and I do believe that I am quite normal...so maybe some of you feel the same...? Or am I the only one experiencing what seems to be a quarter life awakening??... haha. Whats up with that?!

What I do know is 26 has served me well. I have a had so many great, amazing and ridiculous experiences. From concerts of new and old favorites, trips to new places, bike rides, sunday fundays, new friends and reconnecting with old friends, new job(s), the joys of dating, a new health but most importantly I have learned a lot. It has been a good year.
I think 27 is going to be even better and if I keep trying to look up at my cork board more often and remind myself to "Choose to...", 27 will kick 26's butt!

Cheers!

Polly

Coming up in my next posting...Birthday Week Happenings...including Bay to Breakers, Birthday Sheenanis and much more.

Positivily Postin' for the Weekend!

Hello again,

It has been a few days since my last post, which was sadly full of un-motivational thoughts and really just my long weekend talking (which is why I removed it).

Thankfully it's Friday again and this week wasn't so bad after all. As I am fighting off the sniffles I am eager to enter Mother's Day weekend with hopes of cherry sorting and drinking wine with my mommie.
Since it has been a few days since I last posted I have a few things to digress about and then I will make Monday's Post all about Mother's Day.

For now...the song of the day:
FIRST and foremost what got me through my incline run this morning, LCD Soundsystem's newest album, "This is Happening," track 3 "One Touch".
Those of you that know me are probably super tired of my obsessing about LCD. But to be honest I just love the way the music makes me feel. This song in particular was a surprisingly new favorite for me. Rumors had it that Mr. Murphy's new album was nothing in comparison to his previous works, after listening I beg to differ. And no it is not just because it is LCD and I love it. It's because to me the sign of a true artist/entertainer/creator is when he/she/they can keep creating time and time again, hitting the same sweet spot with their loyal fans yet still tapping new undiscovered places to bring the listener. In turn gaining more fans and appreciation with each album. Not repeating the exact same style, but instead playing with that style a bit but while maintaining enough of the "OG" creativity to hone in "who they are" and keep people like me swaying, jumping and fist pumping with my eyes closed. That sir is my definition of a true artist.
With that I am going to leave you with the link to the right for LCD Soundsystem's newest album, "This is Happening," track 3 "One Touch".

Next, "What's Up With That," for the day:
I could talk for hours about how much I loathe Lady Gaga (well I actually don't care to talk for hours about her...wait that sounded sooooo hipster :(). Anyways, for now I am going to address the Telephone Video. And NO I am not going to highlight it in my favorite color nor am I going to include a link to the "way too long" video. Memory serves me that someone told me the video is something like 10 minutes long. FIRST can I just say that Lady Gaga, you are not MJ. She cannot try to do the prime time viewing of music videos like MJ did. I remember sitting on my knees with my bother as a kid waiting for the new Michael Jackson Episode/Video to start. That was the time..."I remember the time..."
Not to mention the ridonkelous scenes in this ridiculous video. What's Up With That?! I think at one point she was a jail bird, then she was almost naked then she was making a sandwich with Mayo, then she got picked up by Beyonce in a lowrider truck that had "Pu**yWagon" painted on it. I could keep going on about the terrible diner/americana dance moves but I won't b/c it was at that point that I closed my web browser. What's Up With That?!
To poke at this video and bring a light-hearted and of course positive spin on things, a few friends posted this video earlier in the week on facebook and I thought I would share it here, so check it out under my links to the right. It's pretty funny.

And to tie off this post I'm going to leave you with the Positive Post for the day:
"Live In Whoville," Yes, Whoville as in the Grinch story. Why? Well even when the Grinch stole Christmas from the people of Whoville, they still carried on with life and didn't let the lack of presents and joy destroy them .... and eventually Christmas came back and they got to have their fun. So the moral of the story is to Live like you are in Whoville, on a bad day try not to take it out on others or when you feel defeated look on the up side that another bright and beautiful day lays ahead.
Live in Whoville this weekend people. Much love.

Positivily Postin' FRIDAY

Anyone else excited its Friday? I AM.

Speaking of positiveness...I had a positively wonderful evening last night. Here we go:

For starters I got to see one of my favorite girls EVER, Miss. Carrie Carothers...but now, Mrs. Carrie Cregor!!
Carrie just recently got married to her Jakeie Poo and they are now expecting a baby girl. It has been so great to see Carrie on the journey to motherhood. I remember when the adventure first started, concepts like staying in on a Friday night, being called mom or good lord BREAST Feeding!, were distanced and daunting ideas. But as I have had the pleasure of seeing Carrie throughout her pregnancy she has developed a way of embracing this life that she and her husband have created and has done so with the up most adoration, maturity and love.
Words can't describe how happy and excited I am for the JOY that this baby girl is going to bring to their lives.
Last night as Carrie and I dined on side salads and polenta at One Speed (excellent by the way) we caught up on work, boys and babies. I feel that just about every time I see Carrie I see her wearing the metaphoric "hat" of an amazing mother. As a single woman, watching one of her dear friends go through this experience my heart just about skips a beat.
So today I tribute my "Positive Post" to Carrie and Jake, for making the world better by bringing a lil babe into our crazy world. I cannot wait to meet her.
Now that its clear that I have a girl crush on Carrie I'm going to move on....

After dinner, I headed out for drinks with my roommate in crime, Lola, to Shady Lady to celebrate my new friend, Erica's birthday. With the perfect amount of jazz, whiskey, vermouth and swankiness in the air...we enjoyed whiskey.gingers with our new friends.
And now for the What's Up With That, moment of the evening:
After discovering that Erica is practically a neighbor of ours and talking about how we need to BBQ and make Round Corner outings together. We briefly described our house with the "Purple Door" and we found out that Erica's sister used to LIVE in our house...it gets more crazy, her sister lived in Lola's room. What's Up With That!? Sacramento is such a small world.
So Happy Birthday Erica, we better see you at our house soon neighbor! (Lil shout out to Foster Freeze, wish I could have seen more of you friend, we are due for a hang out soon!)

The third stop of the night was Sol Collective (see link to the right) some form of an art collective that often has entertainment. As we approached the doors and the $10 cover to see a live show of Chico Mann and Sister Crayon, we also eyed the make shift bar with sodas, water and arizona iced teas...and then we left and immediately headed for Tower Liquors to pick up our friend Mr. Jameson. Kinda terrible that we are both thinking the same thing. Priorities. I swear we are not boozehounds, we just wanted a cocktail. I think.
After the Liquor Store Sales Man of the Year got us to buy the bigger bottle, we headed back to Sol Collective and soon found out that they were serving beer and wine...Booze FAIL.
After gettin it to afro/electronic/hip hop with Chico Mann, a random stamp on my neck and then the mesmerising sounds of Sister Crayon we headed home for a late night snack and a DVRed episode of The Office. An end to a proper Thursday evening.
I encourage you check out the links to the right of Chico Mann and Sister Crayon (hailing from Sac).

What a night right? Well, I got a little of everything...the joys of pregnancy, catching up with a great friend, celebrated a birthday, met a new neighbor/friend, found a new spot for music/art, got haggled by a liquor store sales men, saw some new music and laughed my arse off at The Office.
I said GOOD DAY SIR!!

Love you all and happy stinkin blinkin Friday!

Polly

Positivily Postin' 4/29

Good Day!

Today for starters you can find a link to my song of day... One Eskimo "Kandi" ... happy and sweet tune that has an interesting and compelling way of building up throughout the song that really gets ya "into it".

Next some Positive Postin:

Today, one of my favorite people, joined me in Spin Class this morning. Let's just say that 5:15am came wayyyy to fast and getting up on time to actually make a class that early is pretty hard to do so close to the end of the week.
BUT, with my friendie joining me this morning I had all the more reason to jump out of bed, well rolled is more like it. ANYWAYS, the Spin Instructor, which for now on I will refer to as Spin Doctor ... it's just appropriate, she said the following phrase that I thought was post worthy:

"Who are you working for? You have to go work for somebody else later, right? Right now, WORK FOR YOURSELF."

Thanks Spin Doctor for that inspiring take on busting my ass, I really needed it.
For Today's, What's Up with That?, I have attached a link to the hilarious way too long SNL skit, so you can see where I got the saying from as well as get a lil chuckle.
But for real, today's What's Up with That? topic:
  • A friend of mine and her Girlfriend went to Future Fitness, a local gym where they live inquiring about starting a family gym membership. They were told that Family Memberships were for Man & Women. Whats up with that?
  • So I can see if the gym said no if there were no children...but one of these lovies does have children. So the family component is there. Whats up with that?
  • It just really grinds my beans, that people can really say and do the things that they do. Not to mention that THIS IS A GYM we're talking about ... I mean really Future Fitness? Really? REALLY?

That's it for, Whats Up With That?" today.

Everyone Enjoy your day, we are that much closer to Friday.

Peace out,

Polly

Positivily Postin'

Hi Everyone!

I have attempted blog writing before and failed. Mainly out of failed interest or just plain forgetting. I think now I actually have something to write about it. As a crazy, young and undecisive woman, I want to get some of the rhetoric that bounces around my head out in the open.

I am also on the verge of a new opportunity for work with which I would be blog writing quite frequently, soooo I thought all the better to start one now.

What can we expect to find on Positive Polly Posts?
  • Affirmations encouraging your own Positive Polly outlook
  • My goals and my story of achievement or failure - For the past 6 months I have taken on a new life challenge with my health and fitness in addition to attempting to enhance my career. I'll be sharing updates here and really looking for this to heighten my own need to be a Positive Polly
  • Videos and links of media to brighten your day - We email videos and link all day long between friends and coworkers and often actually go looking for funny web pages full of contradictions and embarrassments...so I'd to share what I find with whomever cares to visit.
  • What's Up With That? - Inspired by the SNL skit that is probably showcased too often and generally the skit is way too long, I'll posting about random facts or thoughts and proceed to ask, "whats up with that?"
  • The Color Teal - Expect it to be shown everywhere, its my signiture color...:P
  • LOTS of "..." elipseses...I like to use them...a lot...

For now I think that will do...hope to see you all around here soon!

-Jen
