I just received this in an email from a friend I haven't seen in about 2 years... We had a nice little convers...and I didn't see it until after the last email that this was her permanent signature. I thought it was ridiculously funny...and maybe sometimes true.
"When you feel that nobody loves you, nobody cares for you and everyone is ignoring you, you should start asking yourself....Am I too sexy?"
Ooooh....okay...now I understand. LMAO.

A Little Laugh..

Doctor's Visit
Went to the doctor today....
He wanted to do some lab work right away...and an ekg next week.
I'm not feeling too good now.
Maybe this'll scare me into losing weight. He looked back at my chart(I've been going to this Dr. since I was 10)and is just now realizing that I've always had problems with my weight...Hmmmm....
No shit Sherlock!
The reason I went though was because my toes were getting numb....and I'm starting to have a lot of back pain...boo hoo...poor me...I know. Get my fat ass up and EXERCISE. I have been!! Been going walking and watching what I eat...really.
This is scary, though...I might just start fasting or something...

The Date
My Mother is 52 years old, and pretty much hasn't dated since my little brother was born 11 years ago. She's been through some crazy, tough times, so I can't really complain about her attitude. My Father put her through the ringer for a few years before I was born....
She dated him for about a year before he decided to break it off with her and date one of her best friends. He's not from our town, so that just made it a little easier because she didn't have to see him...
Well, he ended up getting married to that woman, and got her pregnant... They had a son that I keep in touch with now...my older half-brother. Yeah, he's older. The marriage ended up falling apart within the first 3 months, and my Mother being the sweetheart that she is, took him back because she truly believed that she loved this man.
So, that's when I came along...They got back together, and she got pregnant. Well, as soon as she found out she was with child, she went to his house and talked to him. His response was.."I need time to think about what I've gotta do...come back in 2 weeks." So, she understood that it was a shock, and didn't see him until the 2 weeks was up...
She drove back to his house, about 3 mths. pregnant, and he wouldn't come out to meet her on the front porch. His brother, my Uncle, came out instead and told her that my Father didn't want to speak to her. She cried of course, and started calling my Father's name...then his sister, my Aunt, came out and told her Vicky, I know that Raymond's wrong...we're very angry at him...but we have to tell you...
HE'S ELOPED. No lie...he did. My stupid ass Father eloped with a woman he had met no more than 2 months before.
He ended up getting a divorce after about 6 years of marriage, and had 4 children from that woman.
Well, it's now 2005 and my Mother and I continue to get calls from my Father. He's finally gotten under my Mom's skin again, and they went out last Friday. Nothing happened, and my Mother said that's exactly what she expected, but she had to get some type of closure... She finally is able to forgive him, and let it all go.
She's realized that our lives have turned out so much better than they would've if she had kept this man in our lives.
But, you know....I still wonder what it would've been like to have a Daddy...whether it was my Biological Father, or just another loving man who was willing to take care of me and I'd be his little princess. ::tear:: Don't think I'm an emotional wreck or anything, cause I'm not...but there's always gonna be that question mark in my life.
I know there's good men out there, and I know that my Father is not a "typical" male...but it makes you wonder what makes men like him be the way they are. I don't know...but I do know that I'm going to try to mold my son to be the sweetest non-heartbreaker in TX...so in a way I know there's kind of a cycle you have to go through in life..no matter good or bad, you just have to know what to do when the cycle comes around and it's your turn...

Pretty kewl...

The Weekend
Sucked...
That's about all I have to say about that..
I also just found out that we're going to be moving soon. We've been renting our house month to month and the landlord(my cousin) and I have decided that April 1st sounds like a date that we could both work with. I HATE MOVING! With a passion. I was hoping that we could do an owner financing and eventually own the house, but things started popping up. For one, her daughter's pregnant. And the house they're living in right now is old and moldy...shouldn't have been passed to begin with. But, it was a place that she could afford having 3 children. She's a single Mom right now. She's also found new love, and he wants to help her afford the house payment. That's good, and I'm really happy for her, but I hate moving. Can't stand it....did I tell you that?
Anyway, we now have to go through the process of boxing things up and marking them, and have to get a storage, and look for a place to go that's a 3 bedroom 2 bath cause there isn't any way we could fit into a 2 bedroom. No way. I really am going to miss the house cause the kids loved it so much. They had the big backyard, and the house was like a mini-track to them cause they'd run around the hall through the living room, through the kitchen, throught he dining room and right back into the hall....
I sure am gonna miss it...

CLEAN WOMAN.....CLEAN...
Is there some type of handbook that states it's up to the woman to keep up with the ENTIRE house? I mean...if someone is a stay at home Mom, and her man took care of her, then she's got just a bit more time in the day to clean and make sure that the house is at least in decent order, right? I mean, it's hard enough taking care of little ones running around the house and making sure the house gets cleaned...but what if you're away from the house 40 hours a week? Working....just like the significant other?
I'm so tired of this shit....TIRED! I am really good at taking care of my family's needs. I have a constant schedule that my kids stay on because it's easier for them that way, and it makes them feel secure. I get out at 5, pick them up from my Aunt's house, take then home, get them started on their homework, start dinner at about 5:45, have dinner ready by 6:30...we eat, I check their homework by 7:30, get them into the bathtub, 8:15 they brush their teeth, and I put them to bed by 8:30 every night. 9 pm...I go walking with my friends while asswipe is sleeping. Every night this is what I do.
I don't get home 'til 10:30...and when I get home I realize that I need to get the kids dirty clothes from the restroom, put them in the hampers, start the wash, at 11pm, go to the kitchen and wash the dishes and pots and pans that we ALL ate on. by midnight...I'm tired...and my body will not go anymore.
But, yet I still get it early in the morning because there was a cup left in the living room that he HAD TO THROW AWAY..WTF?! A CUP??? HE'S BITCHING ABOUT A CUP????...OH AND A SUBWAY BAG THAT WAS OUT OF THE TRASH CAN....LAYING ON THE FLOOR... DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'D HAVE TO BITCH IF I DID IT EVERY TIME I PICKED SHIT UP FOR HIM? WHATEVER...I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT.
WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING COOK DINNER AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK? I CAN COUNT ON MY HANDS HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE FUCKING BBQ'D SINCE WE MOVED IN. I CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND AND NOT USE ALL THE FINGERS OF HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE WASHED YOUR OWN FUCKING CLOTHES...I CAN COUNT ON MY HANDS HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE WASHED DISHES, AND I CAN COUNT HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT I'M JUST LAZY CAUSE I USE THE DAMN DISHWASHER ....TIRED I TELL YOU....TIRED!!
::sigh:: Okay...I feel better now...asswipe...

Catching Up..
Okay I know I'm way behind the times when I tell my friend that I've wanted to watch a TV show, and she's already got the complete collection of every season. Wow. Sex inthe City. This show has opened up a whole new sensual side of me. It's so funny to sit there and listen to the conversations of these women and realize that it's okay to talk about sex! Especially to a few of your very closest friends. I do have so much to talk about sometimes...but am a bit reluctant to share my sexual life. I'm sure everyone has questions about certain things, right? I don't think my friends know much about my sex life...just that I'm satisfied with it.
I was wondering.... What do you do when you have a friend that you've known since you were in elementary school and since then, she's been a pathalogical liar? I mean, she's never lied about anything extremely serious, but she has gotten our group in arguments before over guys, and what not. We finally are all starting to realize that she has a problem because we're catching her in the process. We can't do anything but just sit back and listen to her and wonder if what she's saying is the truth. There's always this doubt. Whether she's talking about her Mom, her family, kisses she got at the club by some guy that we never saw...and boyfriends that we never get to meet. If she did get kisses at the club, why didn't she tell us right away? I mean...We're her Friends for goodness sakes. We all would be extremely elated because she's met SOMEONE. New boyfriends are extremely rare in her case, but when she has one, we NEVER get to meet him! Then, he's gone a couple of months later, and she left him because he was too clingy...WTF? I don't know...she always gets rid of them before we meet them. I mean...I know she's got an issue with her looks...she's not the prettiest thing on this earth, but she's fun, and we love her. You wanna know what she said when we invited her to go out for her birthday? "I just don't want to be the reject for the night." WHAT?! Oh, goodness...we've got a lot of work to do on her.

WHY!?
WHY DOES THE SCENT OF A MAN'S COLOGNE MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANNA JUMP HIS BONES? I mean, I just don't understand it. Sometimes I try so hard to be a good girl...really I do. But it makes it so hard when you have this hunk of man standing holding you, just staring into your eyes and rubbing your back. Let me paint a mental picture for you...I'd say he's about 5'11" 210 lbs of muscle, brown hair, beautiful green eyes, light skin, hispanic, and It's hard to be a good girl with all that juiciness going on...but does he really have to smell so good, too? Geez...I tell you...I was so ready...but wasn't at the same time. I hadn't thought about that in a long time...and he just brought it right back up...all the memories, and his beautiful green eyes...OH LORD WHY CAN'T I JUST FORGET ABOUT THIS MAN????? AAAAHHHHH.... Okay...I'm settled now..sorry about that. My friend said that there was so much SEXUAL TENSION between the two of us, and that it was crazy to believe we had known each other for all that time and have never had sex. Believe me, I want to...but it's always the wrong timing... We hardly ever have the time alone. We definitely need to make time. I'm tired of this waiting game...
Laurie...I LOVE HIM!! LOL. (inside joke)
Wait..I forgot to ask you men out there...leave a comment!!!
Are you really as bad as women who go out looking for a cologne that's going to make a person of the their liking weak at the knees? Or, do you just grab it and spray it on? Not thinking of the effects it's going to have on the poor women you're going to be near that night?

Babies...
You know lately I've been talking to people, and a lot of them are either pregnant, new parents, or new grandparents. Babies are so awesome.. I love the way they drool all over the place, and their TRUE smiles, and giggles. LOVE IT!! It's just crazy how you can pass by a person every day, or see an acquaintance and you really never know if they're smiling at you because they want to, or if they're just doing it because it's just the polite thing to do. Babies don't fake things...you know?
I want another baby...but I know it would just cause chaos in my life right now. They're so worth it, but man I love my life right now. My kids are old enough to get their own snacks from the pantry, and their own drinks from the fridge and stuff. So, if you have a baby, and you need a sitter...I'd gladly babysit and spoil the baby while he/she's with me, then send him/her back home with you.
Did you know that toddlers love oreo's? Hehe. My son was about 11 mths, and I let him have at it while he was in his walker.. Oh man was that a beautiful picture. It was everywhere! I love that picture. ::sigh::....Oh, the memories.

Rain..Rain..
It has been raining all morning today! You know I love the winter season, but when we get close to the last few weeks of it, the rain starts. The forecast for this week is rain..all week. Yuck. It's a big difference from the weather up in Cali. Big difference.
Anyway, with all this rain we've gotten today we now have a 2" puddle in our dining room. It apparently is coming in because the dining room used to be a garage. Any of you had that problem? It's not fun. The owner of the house is a single mother, and she doesn't have the money to fix it. We feel bad for her, and we don't make it a big deal cause it's in a part of the house that we usually never use anyway. Our dining table is far from it, so we just keep scooping the water into buckets and throwing it out. How ghetto does that sound? The house is really pretty, though. Really..it's not what it sounds like. lol. We just have to move my filing cabinet and treadmill to the other side of the room. lol. Okay, that does sound funny. It's really not that big of a deal though to us..cause we don't own the house. I think the homeowner is the one that's gonna have some major problems with it when we end up moving out. Oh well...really can't do anything about that...
So have any of you gotten your income taxes done yet? I usually run to H&R as soon as I have my W-2 in my hand, but this year I'm not anticipating much back...I think I'll have to pay as a matter of fact. Bummer. But, I can't really complain, though cause all my debts are slowly getting paid off right now. But what I wanted to ask was do you have any plans on how you're going to spend your return? Vacation? Shopping? What? If I had money coming back to me, we I would definitely go shopping. For me and my babies. Yup. Shopping sounds good to me.
Oh, did I tell you?! I changed the color of my hair. Yea...it's not dark brown anymore. It's just brown now. It looks okay, but you should've seen the look on my man's face when he saw it for the first time. It was like that scene from Ghost. You know the woman who went to Whoopi to talk to her husband who had already passed away? Then Whoopi is filled with the husband's spirit and he looks at her through Whoopi's eyes and says.."Damn Baby...What'd you do to your hair?!" LMAO. Yea, that's the look I got. I like it, though. So, he can kiss my ass. I might be getting highlights too..I'm not sure yet. I'm still thinking about it. I'll keep you posted though!!

Motorcycle Ride
I have to confess...I enjoyed straddling another man. lol. I had my first motorcycle ride. It was awesome. I had a huge helmet on my head, which wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. We were riding on beautiful hilltops with a view of the lake in between gorgeous snow-capped mountains. I was in love with a Yamaha. lol. The man I rode with was gorgeous...he was 5'11 and he had hazel eyes. Half hispanic, half white...and also my brother in law. lol. So, I did feel extremely guilty enjoying the ride with him between my legs. It was really awkward afterwards.. He kept patting me on my butt with his left hand and asking me if I was okay...uh...yeah, I'm good. lol. What else could I say? I had to scream everything that I wanted to tell him. We went on a 25-30 minute ride.
He was making me uncomfortable though...he kept telling me to hold on tighter, and I already felt like I was. Then, I'd scoot up back onto the seat in order to not lean on him so much, and he'd brake quickly over and over causing me to kinda hump his back... I could feel him laughing... very uncomfortable after that. He wouldn't stop doing that so I pinched him a couple of times, and after I pinched him he would pat me...yea, not good. I felt really funny after that. But I did enjoy the ride. He gave me a big hug when I got off and asked me in my ear if I enjoyed it, and chuckled. I did, I told him. I think it was a bit of a bonding experience for us. We were more open to each other after that. Which was kewl. We were able to laugh about more personal things and I wasn't as stand-offish as I was before.
So...I can cross that one off my list!! I rode a motorcycle before I was 30!! Woo Hoo! Just 28 more things, and I'll be good.

I'm Baaaack!!
Hiya!! Wow, I can't tell you how much I loved California! It was awesome and I had a really good time. San Francisco is wow, and I love all the "Laguna beach" girls walking around with their pink everything. lol. It was awesome!! The only thing that I couldn't deal with was my husband. His family was awesome, and the kids had a blast, but I finally have realized that he will NEVER be happy. NEVER.
Everything else was great. I bought a few souvenirs for my close friends, and a shot glass for my fav. cuz Laurie. I sent you a picture when we got to the Dallas airport, and you didn't respond maluv!
We went to eat at Bubba Gump's on Pier 39. It was sooo good. The shrimp and Mahi Mahi was scrumptous. I ate, and ate and ate...then I got sick watching the kids on the carousel. lol. It was soo pretty!! There was a huge carousel right in the middle of all the shops, and my beautiful daughter had to ride it. So, all the kids hopped on and had a blast.
I am extremely tired right now, though. Jet Lag like crazy! Serious. My whole body is just soar from sitting in those seats on the plane for so long. I almost feel like I have the flu. Blah. Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know that the whole trip was cool. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and I feel like a big baby cry cause I worried so much about it before we left. Oh well...I'm back, and I had a wonderful time.
