Merry Christmas to ME!!

My holidays are getting a little brighter. I just me the Dior Cannage Medium bag. I know, I know, it is really for next Spring/Summer, but I got it on sale with free shipping and no tax from eluxury, so I could not resist. This bag will look fabulous with both pairs of nude tone shoes I bought for next year. Yay me! I am so excited!!

Tiara Happy Hour

This month's Houston Tiaras was held at Coffee Groundz.  The night was extremely chilly, but we just hung around the heaters.  I had a good time overall except for my feet that were killing me.  A small price to pay for wearing amazing boots!

UH vs Rice

So, so, sad. We lost, boo hoo. I still love you Coogs!!

Early Christmas Shopping

After writing over 125 customer thank you cards, I decided that it was time to go shopping. I usually do all my shopping the day after Thanksgiving, yes, at four in the morning, but this year since all the stores were having pre-Thanksgiving sales I decided that saving an extra 10% was not enough for me to get out of bed at 3am.

Anyway, I drove to the store and proceeded to pick out all my items. I was thinking that maybe I should just look and go back on Friday when all the toys would be 50% off rather than just 40%, but the thought of getting up made me just stick to my original plan. When it comes to sales I am really cheap. It is weird because I do not mind spending A LOT of money buying a purse, I guess because Gucci never has a sale and because all I can really do is buy from eluxury just to make sure I do not pay the sales tax and get free shipping. When it comes to “normal” items I am a little psycho in trying to find the lowest price possible.

Ok, back to my story, I get the items and go check-out. Imagine my elation when the cashier tells me that I can save and EXTRA 15% by applying for a store card; I do not have to use the card all I have to do is apply!!! I was so excited. Yesterday I won a Wii Fit and today I am getting an extra 15% off in purchases that was bitting the bullet and getting because I did not want to get up so early in the morning. Wow, it is my lucky day. After the shopping spree I made my way to my local gas station where I purchased five lotto tickets and three scratch-offs. I have not checked them yet, but I could be a millionaire.

I Won!!!

I attended the Mom 2.0 Kick-Off Party tonight and I won a Wii Fit!! Not only that, but I also won a free ticket to the conference. Man, it is my lucky day. I never win anything, so it was a nice surprise.

Lighting of The Doves

My daughter had her first twirling gig today at The Lighting of The Doves at The Woodlands. She only began twirling a couple of months ago, but I think she did really well for a newbie. She also looked simply adorable in her outfit and red ponytail bows.

Friday Very Busy Fun Day!!

On Friday I had lunch with my dear friends Sandra and Claudia. I had not see Claudia in ages so it was nice to see her again and just catch up.



High School Reunion Planning MTG #3
And since I had a reunion planning meeting in town I decided just to hang out and wait for the Happy Hour to begin. The reunion committee met at Cadillac Bar, the place that we were thinking of using...we do have to tested out and all!! We did decided that the Cadillac Bar was a perfect fit for our event. I am glad that has been decided.



We had a blast and I think disclosed just a little bit too much, like high school crushes. I just hope it is not brought up ever again ;(

High School Reunion - MTG #2

I attended my second high school reunion planning meeting today. Things are going well, I think we have decided to plan and put together the event ourselves rather than use a planning reunion service. This will mean a lot more work for those involved, but we will have more control of how we want things done. Is that good or bad? don't know yet!

This time for dessert I made Walnut Brownies and took some vanilla ice cream to accompany my chocolate creations. Yummy!!

Huh, once again, I used to be incredibly shy in high school, so it is a little weird to me that I would want to be involved as much as I am, since realistically I AM meeting my classmates for the first time. So far everyone has been super nice, so I hope that things continue as well as they are. If not, I will just have to eat my $50 worth of food at the reunion party!

My Girl Lenny is in Town

My girl Lenny made a visit to Houston so we decided to get together and hit the town. We first stopped by the Red Lion Pub and then headed to Pearl Bar. It was a lot of fun, but I had a little too much to drink, oops! Anyway, once in a while is ok, plus Lenny was in town ;)


He was my prom date almost 20 years ago! The whole night I kept calling him "Prom Date". Everyone thought I was kidding. Too funny!

Halloween 2008

We had an amazing Halloween. As you all know I am a Halloween lover. This year we all decided, ok, well, I decided, that we should dress up as Super Heroes. This year we played the new Disney Tinker Bell movie and Ironman on the big screen. Now I have to start thinking of a theme for next year!





I hope you all had an amazing Halloween too!

My Lesbian Lover

Ok, no, not really, but I am in love Jillian Michaels' body, especially her arms. I would kill to have guns like that! Anyway, here is a really good article about her views on weight loss. I love her even more now. Five things I learned from Jillian Michaels - read it and follow the links, I think it gives some pretty good advice, some that I should be following.

I will be going to my 20th high school reunion planning meeting today and was asked to take a dessert. John thinks I am setting the bar too high. I am trying to make a good impression, so maybe this will do it.

Five Years, Yeah!!

Happy blogversary to me, Happy blogversary to me, Happy blogversary dear Chica, Happy blogversary to me!!! And many more!!!!

Today FIVE years ago I started blogging. In has been a fun ride. It just seems like yesterday that I was sitting in a little hotel room in Marion, IL. finally making the decision to start blogging. I have met some great people along the way and hope that the next five years are as much fun as these ones were. Thanks to everyone that takes time to read my blog and I promise and hope to be able to do more blogging and less twittering from now on.

Thanks!!

The internet

The internet has let me down! I usually rely on the internet to find pretty much everything in my life. I use it to find items for my kid's birthday parties, I use it to find long lost friends and to remind me why there are so, and I use it to search for any diseases I might be having. How else would I of known that was dying from a malignant tumor last year?! Anyway, the internet completely let me down this time.

How hard can it be to find a black mini dress with split-sleeves?? Huh??? It is nearly impossible. I have been searching for a couple of days now to no avail. I pretty much have had to settle for a tunic with 3/4 sleeves, which I am pretty sure will be way too short, I guess I will be flashing a some people. On top of that the dress, err tunic, I am settling for is costing me $158!

I am still kinda pissed off about this whole internet business. You would think that in today's day and age all I would have to do is type an item description and have the exact item I want just pop up. There would be no days on end looking for that magical dress that in my mind will make me look amazing. In a perfect world the item would just be there waiting for me...sigh.

Friday Night Fun

Yippie, I had a great time. We started FNF at Coaches Pub in Midtown. We had drinks and dinner (I think I was the only one eating, I hate when that happens), and then headed to the Tavern on Gray. It was fun, we just hung out and played pool. A nice night.

Feel Like Crying

Why do I always let the stupid, insignificant stuff affect me?
Today I took The Sequel to his weekly Kindermusik class. This was his second class, because everything was kinda shaken up after Ike. During the first week, he went into the room, but did not participate. This week he refused to go in! The class started and the teacher was nice enough to leave the door open. When things got a little loud the teacher told The Sequel that he had to decide whether he was staying out or coming in. Anyway, when I closed the door I felt like shit. I felt judged my the parents that were in the hall waiting for their perfect children to finish their class. I literary felt like sobbing. I know it is stupid to feel like that, but I just do.

Know The Sequel says he wants to go back to gymnastics. Last Spring I pay the Registration Fee (yes, all these places have a registration fee! PLUS the monthly fees) and the tuition for TWO months. All he did was sit by me.

Part of me is telling me to leave him alone, but the other part of my brain feels that he needs to be out with other children his age. He needs to learn teamwork, participation, waiting your turn, and listening to instructions. I am frustrated with this kid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Last Episode's First Haircut!!!

Little buddy got his first haircut today. It is always a sad day since after the cut they stop looking like little babies and start looking like little boys. I am so sad, sniff, sniff, where does the time go?? He will be one in a couple of weeks, time really does go by fast.

Rest in Peace Mr. Dover

I hate funerals; well I don’t really hate them. I just hate the fact that you get a heavy dose of reality. Death is something that you can not talk your way out of, you can not cry and hope someone lets you off, you can not beg, plead, or hope. It WILL happen. You are just sitting there one day surrounded by your friends and family and the next day you are not. You are dead and the world did not stop moving, it did not even slow down! There are no changes except that you have ceased to exist, erased from the world. The only people that knew you were even here are your children, family, and friends. To everyone else in the world your life and death did not mean anything and pretty soon, to your future generations you will not mean anything either. It is just so sad how someone’s life has so little meaning in the context of the world.

Women and Their Need for Boys

I am so completely angry! The following story twisted my guts.

Egyptian Woman Gives Birth to Septuplets

I just can not believe that in today’s day and age women still feel that they have to have male children. It is so sad. On top of that she would jeopardize her family’s financial well being to bring to earth seven more children. I really hope that whatever incentive she would be receiving by having male heirs would be enough to now be responsible for ten kids. But, I am way more angry at the fact that she used the phrase “Let God's will prevail” after deciding NOT to do an abortion to get rid of some of the babies, but failed to say the same thing before starting fertility treatments!

Busy Friday

I went out to meet some of Houston's Hip Mamas at Davenport and then headed to a friend's birthday party at The Drake. The night was a lot of fun!





Can not wait until next Friday!!

Pics from South Padre

We had a blast! We rented a place that was right on the water. The kids really enjoyed playing on the sand and flying their kites. Ahhh, can not wait to do it again.






Check out her hair. Man, she went crazy trying to catch a fish!


A rare moment.

Finally on Vacation

Yippie us, finally after getting everything figured out we are enjoying some down time in South Padre Island. More details to follow stay tuned!

You are Special, but Not THAT Special

Just in case you did not know – you are NOT the only person in the whole entire world with your name! There is something retarded in having a name like John Smith and thinking that you are the only person in Facebook with that name, by the way, there are thousands. So, when you sign up for Facebook you have to include a picture!

Thanks and have a great day.

I AM ODD

I just figured out I am one of those odd people. The other day I was looking for a transcript and ran across some phonebooks (you know, the ones that you WROTE someone’s phone number on). I decided that it would be a good idea to see if anyone popped up in MySpace or Classmates. Some people from my past did, so I decided to email them and say “hello!”

Even though everyone that I contacted said “hi!” back, I still feel a little odd. Why do I keep all my old phonebooks and letters? Why do I have the need to reach out? I have had a fun life and hope that everyone that was with me at the time feels the same way, but does that mean that 15 years from now these people want to hear from me?

Yes, you are right, I need to give up and only search for people I currently know. That is going to be hard and will take a little getting used to, but it beats being that weird girl that doesn’t let go of things.

By the way, I do welcome odd people, so if anyone from my past knows me please email me, don't be shy, I would love to hear from you!

Love Me, Love My Doll - Creepy

I pride myself in being an open minded individual. I think that people have the right to live their life however they see fit, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING, could prepare me for the BBC America Reveals - Love Me, Love My Doll program. My mouth remained opened in disbelief throughout the whole show.

The 60-minute episode was about people, well, better said, men that have “relationships” with dolls. You know those real looking, life size dolls that cost thousands of dollars. When I say “relationship” I mean that these men actually think that they are having a boyfriend/girlfriend type of relationship with the doll. Some of them have actually given up dating, like one guy said “organic” women to pursuit, is pursuit the right word here?, cohabitating with dolls! One guy even went as far as to take family pictures with his plastic, perfectly proportioned, girlfriend.

I saw Lars and the Real Girl a couple of months back and thought that the movie a little kooky. The flick deals with a guy that buys a doll and lives with it until he meets a real girl. I guess the movie idea had to come from somewhere. Man, I have seen it all now.

By the way I LOVE the BBC’s Reveals series. It is kinda like FX, but with real people.

My Adventures in Plastic Surgery

If you guys ever want your self esteem to go way down go see a plastic surgeon. Why would anyone want that? I dunno, but this doctor completely ripped my rose color glasses off my face and proceeded to beat me up while I was desperately looking for them.

I have been loosing weight lately, but after having three kids your body just does not look like it is supposed to. I am thinking of having the surgery next summer and thought that it would be a good idea to go and see several doctors and have all my questions answered.

Anyway, back to my story. There is absolutely no way to look cute in that room. Fluorescent lighting does not do anyone any good! Secondly, you are given a paper robe and tiny mesh underwear that is many sizes too big. The doctor comes in and quickly removes the robe. Why the robe is there, I don’t know, maybe to let you keep a small piece of dignity. The doctor pretty much has his way with you, he puts his hands all over your body and NOT those feel good places either! He squashes your boobies for you to see what they will look like after surgery. He then makes you lie down and with all his might pull every fatty, pump or is it the lumps? down to show you what changes you can expect after he is done with you.

At some point I asked the doctor what the chances were of me being able to get an implant rather than getting a breast lift and he replies “with the massive sagging…” All I could say was “I don’t think I will EVER be able to be naked in front of anyone again”. He replies “No, do not worry, we see naked people all the time”. “No, I don’t mean that, I just don’t think I could ever show my saggy titties to anyone again!”

If that was not all, his female assistant is standing right there taking notes and looking at you! The stomping on the self esteem does not end there, once the consult is over the assistant takes pictures of you in the most embarrassing poses ever. She takes the befores and those pics are all I will forever see while trying to strike a sexy pose in bed.

No dinner, no cash, I had never felt so used before. All I could do was gather what little dignity I had left, put my clothes on, and walk out of that room with my head held high.

Out and About

Fun night. I meet up with some of my college buddies and we headed to a UH Hispanic Association revival meeting at Open City. It was fun to see some people that I had not see in years. After Open City and dinner we headed to Zeppelin where we enjoyed some good old fashion shaking. Good times.

Momacation

I just got back from my momacation to Boston. I visited my last place of employment, it was really nice to see some of my old coworkers again. It reminded me that I really, really, miss having a job. I miss the birthdays, happy hours, and get-togethers. I am a people person - don't you all just hate when someone says that?! - so I miss the everyday people interaction. Anyway, back to my momacation. I also had dinner with some friends, that was nice. On the weekend I did some driving and sightseeing in New Hampshire. I LOVE IT!! I had completely forgotten how nice the weather is this time of year and how absolutely crisp the sky looks. If I ever win the lotto - don't jinx me - I will buy a little bitty summer house in New England. Ahh, wishing.

Update

Wow, it thought updating this thing would be fast and easy, but like usual I am incredibly busy, so it might take me a little longer than expected.

Hey Guys!

Wow, it has been a while, but I think I am ready to start this puppy back up again. I will be redoing the blog - new colors, top pic, and side, so stay tuned.

March Update – Part 2

March 11-15
On Sunday morning we left Pensacola Beach and headed to Orlando. The drive was pleasant but we discovered that our daughter does not share our “Is not the destination is the journey” attitude. “Mom, can I watch a movie?” “No, Baby Girl you have never been here before so why don’t you look out the window?” She replies “It is all trees, I have already seen them before” “Ok, you can watch a movie”.

We arrived at our hotel and checked in. One of the things we did for this trip was choose hotels that were a little more economical, like the Marriott’s Residence Inn - still not cheap, but cheaper than a full service Marriott. I don’t think we will ever do that again. Anyway, the next day I got sick and decided to save my energy for Magic Kingdom, so JR took the kids across the street to Sea World. I got a much needed rest.

The next day we headed to Magic Kingdom, something I will never do again during Spring Break. The park was packed. Crazy people were waiting an hour and thirty minutes - 1:30!! to ride the Big Mountain Thunder Railroad!! The ride is only 90 seconds long. I just love the Fast Pass feature because without it I don’t think we would have gotten on any of the rides.

On Wednesday we had tickets to see the Astros play the Braves in Kissimmee. I loved it. The players and the action are so close. It is a lot quainter than going to Minute Maid Park; it reminded me of community theatre. Hey!! There is a Panamenian on the team this year, his name is Carlos Lee. So, if you guys go to Minute Maid Park and see a crazy lady waving a Panamenian flag you all know it is me.

On Thursday we packed our bags and made our way to Miami, FL. Our hotel was in Coconut Grove, ok, for my Massachusetts friends – Coconut Grove is where 95 ends. Wow, I thought that was cool. I honestly did not like Miami at all. I don’t know whether it had to do with me getting my finger smashed by the car door or the hotel, but I just did not like it. The one good thing was that my awesome purses did get recognized, something that never happens in Houston.

To be continued…

March Update – PART 1

Ok, I have been a bad blogger. I did not realize how long it has been until Greg emailed me and told me he missed me (ok, not exactly those words, but I knew what he meant)…thanks Greg.

March has been kinda crazy, the kids have been sick; I have been sick and busy with the sick kids, so all around a lot of fun. Something fun that did come out in March was Harrison’s bday – he had a fabulous car party, and Spring Break.

Vacations are always fun, we are a little crazy when it comes to planning because we usually come up with an idea and a couple of hours later everything is booked and we are ready to go, even though it might be months before we actually leave. Our vacation process works like this…”JR I really want to see Wicked again, but I do not want to see it in Houston again” “You know, wouldn’t it be awesome to go to London!” “Yes, Chica it would be great” So we start researching, London was a little too cold for me in March. So I find out that Wicked is in Miami during Baby Girl’s Spring Break. That is perfect weather!! At the same time JR tells me that the Astros’ Spring Training is in Kissimmee, just down the street from Miami. So everything is set, we will drive to Miami and stop along the way!!

March 9 – March 11
That was early release day for Baby Girl, and also Character Book Day, which I think should be another post all together, but I will tell you guys about it here. Anyway Character Book Day is when all the kids get to dress up as a character from a book and parade around the school carrying the book where they are from. Baby Girl went dressed up as Belle from Beauty and The Beast. I think it is the craziest thing that the kids get to dress up on a random day, but not on Halloween!!

The day was slow going. We were supposed to be packed and ready to go by noon, but it did not happen like that. We did not actually leave our house to close to 3pm. Our first stop was Pensacola Beach, FL. I don’t know what happened but the trip took forever. We are a driving family. We have driven to Boston, Panama City Beach, and Las Vegas from Houston, so a trip to Pensacola should be nothing. Maybe we were just so ready to get there, but the trip seemed like an eternity. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. It was The Sequels first huge car trip. I don’t know whether he got car sick or just felt like puking, but he would just open his mouth and stuff would come out. Since it was dark I could not see where the chunks landed so by the time we got to Pensacola my pants were covered in puke!

Pensacola Beach was a little cold. My laying on the sand sipping a frozen drink did not happen. The kids did have fun on the pool. The beach looked amazing. That night we went for a drive and (JR will be upset that I am mentioning this) our car got stuck in the sand. It took us two hours, a tow truck, and $60 to get us out. I think it is those moments that make a vacation memorable. I mean any one can go to Pensacola, but how many people get two hours to think of different ways to get a car out of the sand? Those are laughs no one else has.

To be continued…

Yippie for Me!

I finally and I mean FINALLY broke down and got myself a new camera. I have been wanting an SLR for a while now, but for some reason or another never got around to getting one. My G5 is getting slow and taking pictures of the kids with that camera has been hard - by the time the camera focuses the kids are a mile down the road! Do not get me wrong the G5 has been amazing, but it was time for a change. Anyway, Ritz was running a special - No tax, No shipping, and a $50 GC! Wow, I could not resist!!

I put the $50 GC to good use. I got me another lens and a memory card.

Since we will be going on vacation for Spring Break I can not wait to use it. The camera is super fast and I have actually seen open eyes!! None of those weird expressions - eyes and mouth half open looks, man this is going to be fun.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hey guys, Happy Valentine's Day!!

Isn't this necklace awesome? It is called Melting Love. I love it.

Grammy Awards

The only things notable about the ceremony were the horrendous sound system and the announcement that Scarlett Johansson has decided to become a singer. I really think that the Grammy Awards is not the place to make such announcements especially in front of actual singers that have worked very hard to get where they are.

I have never really liked Scarlett as a matter of fact I consider her an overrated actress, she always has the same lost look on her face. I don’t know what people rave about.

Anyway, about her singing career, I don’t know what kind of music she will sing or if she is with a band or single, all I know is that is a bad idea. Just because she woke up one day completely bored and decided to give music a try does not make her a singer. I don’t know, I guess she always has her acting career to fall back on.

Mother Nature You Are Going Down

I am kicking Mother Nature’s ass as soon as I get a hold of her. How dare you Mother Nature?!! How dare you give me hopes that it will be nice and warm and take that away from me overnight? I slept last night in shorts and a t-shirt, no socks, no flannel two-piece pajamas that keep getting bunched up on my upper arm or leg. This morning I woke up searching for socks, you suck!

My brown skin is starting to loose its natural healthy glow, I am looking pasty and chalky. I am starting to get whiter than the checkout line at Ann Taylor. That just ain't right. Mother Nature you are going down!

Baby News

I went to the Dr’s yesterday. It was my first baby appointment and for some reason I made it at 9AM in the morning, which would have been fine for a regular appointment, but not for one when you are going to meet a doctor for the first time, specially since we were are going to get intimate kinda fast. I was worried especially at 8am when I saw myself in the mirror and noticed that I had not groomed myself in a long, long time, I mean there is really has been no reason to, I mean JR and I have been married for so long that he no longer cares how it looks down there. He is happy just being near it.

Anyway, I did not want to do anything drastic, but for some forsaken reason I could not find the grooming scissors (my house has been at such a disarray that I am lucky to find anything) and I refuse to do anything with the razor, I just did not want that fresh cut look, I wanted the doctor to think that I maintain myself. I finally found the scissors and went to work taking just a little off the top and sides, like I said nothing too drastic just a “cared for look”.

Forty-five minutes later we were on our way to the Docs. After they get all the pertinent information they tell me to take my pants and underwear off, see, we get close kinda fast (I was just glad that I had laid out a nice pair of underwear and socks the night before). When JR saw me he definitely noticed the difference a little trim makes. The Doc says that I am due around September 18 and gave us this first picture of our unborn child, I present to you “The Last Episode”.

Did it Stop Raining?

Last week I went to lunch with Elaine. It was kinda funny that I have putting off having lunch with her until it stopped raining; I really hate cold weather and really detest cold weather and rain. Anyway, after planning we decided to meet on Wednesday, a whole 36 hours after it stopped raining, I just thought that it would be nice and dry by then, but that was not the case. When I woke up it was dark and dreary outside, yuck. We were destined to meet in the rain.

We had a really nice lunch, her treat!! Thanks Elaine. On the way out she said that I looked like it was 30 degrees outside. I don’t know what the deal is with me, but I have been freezing to death. Yes, I know it is only 40 or 50 outside, but I am really, really cold. I don’t know if it is because I am pregnant (The Last Episode on the way, but that is another post all together) or maybe there is something really wrong with me. I keep telling JR that we need to move to a warmer climate. I can just imagine me telling people that the reason I now live in the Florida Keys is because it is just too cold in Houston.

How are things with you guys anyway? Yes, I keep telling myself that I need to blog more and I do think of interesting stuff to think about, but never really get around to doing it. I thought of writing a synopsis of my daily going-ons, but thought that to be too boring. Or maybe some of you might find it interesting that I actually started cleaning the upstairs, used to be exercise room, now business control center. The room was to the point that I could not walk in there. I was really bugging me and I decided to do something about it.

Tomorrow you ask – I might enlighten you all with some laundry, I am using the new Gain Joyful Expressions detergent. Sometimes, you just need a little change.
