No Excuses...

2011-05-19T08:02:00.001-06:00

There are no excuses. I've been a mala blogger. 2 anos! Hay! Pero, I've decided to come back. And be serious. You know, get things together. Maybe share some of my wedding planning.

We've got so much to catch up on. Pero, I'm going to start fresh and nuevo. It just feels better this way. So stay tuned. It should be fun!

Lazy Domingo

2009-08-23T23:41:00.001-06:00

Hay dias when I don't want to do a thing. Hoy, it has been a lazy dia. Pero, it was just what I needed. The only productive thing that I have done, is going to church. Pero, the morning was not without it's drama. Why can't I be on time on Sundays? We ran around this morning, and barely made it with 2 minutos to spare. Hay Dios Mio!

After mass, mi hombrecito y yo went to brunch. It was nice. A leisurely meal and conversation. Then we headed home. Y mis pjs were screaming to put them on. It became a lazy dia. I was all decked out in pjs. We had a nice stack of DVDs that needed to be watched. Si! And that is what we did. All dia long!

Until mi hombrecito left to get us dinner. We have been couch potatoes all dia long! I haven't done anything but watch TV and movies. And eat! I am finding that Domingos are turning into my lazy dias of the semana. Is that bad?

Ensamble Twitter

2009-08-21T20:48:00.003-06:00

I joined Twitter just now. Because everyone is always talking about it. Already, I am having fun. Mi hombrecito keeps telling me that I am going to get addicted to it. Pero, I don't think so. Not yet anyway. You can look at my twitter page. I don't know if you will learn anything important about me. Pero, I think this is going to be a place to have a little more fun. Maybe hablan con mis amigos more regularly. Who knows. But I am glad I signed up.

Drugas y Insurance

2009-08-20T23:08:00.001-06:00

If you are in Cuidad Juarez, drugs are now legal. Drugas were legalized hoy! Not in large quantities. Pero, they are legal. I think it is under a gram. Everything from marijuana to heroin. If you are caught con drugas, you get a warning the first 2 times. On the 3rd, you have to go to a drug program. Como? Legal drugas. Does anyone else see the problema aqui? If there is a drug problem, like the one in Cuidad Juarez, you don't legalize las drugas!

Pero, onto better news. If you are in Mexico City, through the end of el ano 2009, you can get free health insurance. It is available to todos personas going through or living in Mexico City. Pero, it is not for people with chronic or on going illness. Just for la gente who gets sick right now in Mexico City. Don't fear getting sick while traveling in Mexico City, you are covered.

Missing Home

2009-08-18T22:19:00.004-06:00

Ultimamente, I miss home. I feel like una ninita. Pero, I miss home. This work project seems to not be moving forward. They are blaming it on the economy. Pero, I don't know. We just keep running around in circles. I am not usually someone who let's things get to me. Pero, I am tired. I am tired of these hombres, this heat, esta cuidad.

I want to go home. I don't mean the poca cuidad I was living in to work. Mis amigos live there. Pero, it is still cuatro horas from mi familia. Tres y media from mi casita. I like being there. La vida is mas simple. Pero, hay mucho calor alli. I like being there. Mis amigos are wonderful. Pero, I miss home. Miss mi cama. Miss mi casita!

It's not that I don't like mi trabajo. Pero, it just gets old being away for so long. Sin City is not all that it is cracked up to be. Y being here for tres meses is too long! Especialmente in the summer! I just need a break. A break to go home and relax. Take some tiempo away from this project. Charge my batteries.

Ruby Pumps

2009-08-13T21:05:00.001-06:00

I am not usually someone who buys nail polish. I am not the best at applying it. Y more times than not, my nails get covered in paint from mi trabajo. Pero este color, it grabbed mis ojitos. Lola wears it when she performs. Around the 4th of July, she had it on. I couldn't stop looking at her nails. Or talking about the color. Not long ago, I got a little cajita in the mail. Funny that I actually got it. Pero, I am in Sin City, y Lola is still gone working. Inside the cajita, was Ruby Pumps by China Glaze. Last night I painted my nails. Y, they actually look nice. The polish is not like the kind I used to paint my nails in high school. It is a nice formula and texture. I like the dark red color, and the sparkle that the polish has. It is also tough. This I know, porque I helped Jels clean today. Y, I didn't mess up my nails with all that scrubbing!

Crazy Ladies

2009-08-12T22:47:00.003-06:00

Not long ago, Lola gave me this librito to read. It is hilarious! Entertaining. And full of vida! The mujeres in the story remind me of your typical familia. Not necessarily their specific actions. But the way they live life. Always in each others lives. It reminds me of a funny Latino family. I couldn't put this librito down when I started reading it. Pero, this is one of my new favorites!

Sorprendido

2009-08-10T23:12:00.002-06:00

Hoy, I was surprised. I went to Jack in the Box for the primera vez. They are just not around the area I grew up in. Or where mi casita is. Pero, I ordered the Big Meal Deal. It has a taco, cheeseburger or chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink. It was a little over $3 with tax. I got the cheeseburger. It was good. Really good. I was surprised! I don't know what I was expecting. Pero, the taco left something to be desired. The fries were the best part. They reminded me of the fries mi abuelita makes from scratch back home. Overall, it was a good meal for $3. Something you could eat in a pinch.

We're Going on a Viaje!!!

2009-08-01T11:47:00.004-06:00

Mi hombrecito surprised me last night at dinner. With a viaje for mis cumpleanos. We are going to California! Disneyland to be more exact. I am so excited. I have never been there. Ever. Nunca! I am already counting the dias until we leave. September 16th is the big dia! I feel like una nina. I want to see the Castle and all the characters.

We are going to more places than Disneyland. But Disneyland is the big thing for me! While in California, we are going to other parks. Spending dias in and around LA. Going shopping. Doing a lot of stuff while we are there. Mi hombrecito has planned everything out. He debated about telling me. But thought I would enjoy the anticipation of the viaje. I'm glad he told me. :)

We will be gone for mis cumpleanos. And I am excited about that. This is our primer viaje together. Big trip I should say. Porque mi hombrecito comes to visit me at work. Y we take small trips around las cuidades we are in. We are both excited. Like dos ninitos waiting for Christmas morning.

Un Día de las Muchachas

2009-07-22T23:41:00.003-06:00

Hoy was a surprise. Jels and I had the dia off. And we decided to have un dia de las muchachas (a girls' day.)

We attempted to make breakfast. All we did was manage to set off the fire alarms. And we couldn't turn them off! The French Toast didn't work so well. Pero, we had fun. Despues, we went shopping. I didn't have anything in mind, pero we managed to shop for seis horas. Como? Si, seis horas!

We bought makeup, clothes, and shoes. What else do mujeres shop for? We found NYX makeup on sale. Jels couldn't resist! Eventually nosotros ended up at Target. Where we decided to make cena. Jels is almost as bad as I am. We had to buy a bunch of caceroles. Despues, we went grocery shopping. Armed with un librito de cocina, we were looking for our comida. Dos horas más adelante, we were ready to cook.

No way are we as good as Lola. Pero, we tried. And it turned out pretty well. Mi abuelita would be proud. We watched Dirty Dancing as we ate. Hoy was un dia that we both needed. Just some tiempo to be muchachas, have fun, and laugh!

Time con Lola

2009-06-17T23:23:00.003-06:00

Mi amigita, Lola, has been traveling so much in the last dos meses. We don't see her often. And I have been in Sin City working. Lola is all over the place. Pero, hoy, Lola came to Sin City. She was here to meet with our jefe...Daddy Warbucks. That's what she calls him.

Lola was staying in the Casino. She was here to sign some contracts for some shows, she is going to do later in el ano. And to talk with Daddy Warbucks. He is really attracted to her. And tends to give a lot of slack to Jels y yo when Lola comes to town. After their meeting, we spent the day together.

Jels called me to tell me we had the rest of the dia off. Since she was staying at the casino, we were in for lots of fun! Daddy Warbucks set us up with an in-room spa day. Despues, Lola wanted to go to one of the cocinas. She left us in the room. And when she got back, she had the most delicoso desserts. Lola cut up frescas and put them in these fancy dishes. She topped them with whipped cream. And dark chocolate shavings. They were simple, pero delicoso! I should have taken a picture of them.

We mostly enjoyed each others company. It has been a while since we have sat down and had good conversations like that. Lola is always busy, pero hoy, it was about friendship and good times. I like these unexpected dias.

The Fall of the Cuidad

2009-05-17T18:43:00.000-06:00

I have been thinking. Las Vegas is not the same Las Vegas that mis amigos y yo came to love. It is not the same place that we would take a weekend viaje to or where Lola would go to perform some lavious show. There is significantly less gente, y the spark is gone. I come to work here often, I do a lot of paintings and murals for some of the rico. Pero, the vecinades are thinning, there is less work, and that it factor is falta. All we can do is wish for the old Las Vegas to make its vuelta.

It's official. After 10 years, I have un novio. The last time I could say that, I was in high school. I have dated off and on since. Pero, I never found anyone that I could really say I connected with. Mi hombrecito y yo have been dating since April. We became an exclusive couple last night.

He just makes me happy. Puts a sonrisa on my face. Life just seems better when we are together. For the primera vez, someone understands me. And loves me for me. Mi hermano tells me that he has never seen me happier than this. He is right.

I thought all the traveling I do, would hurt our relationship. Pero, it hasn't. Instead, mi hombrecito embraces mi trabajo. He is supportive. And he surprised me not long ago. He just showed up dos semanas ago. Con rosas rojas. 2 dozens! There is something especial about him. Something that I can't put into palabras.

Por que Lola explained a long time ago how he works. He wants everything. RIght now and perfecto. Pero, I am not sure how much longer I can take it. Despues, Daddy Warbucks, Lola's jefe, y nuestro amigo, came to my rescue. Si, pero, I am not sure if going out to dinner with everyone was the real answer.

Un Gran Problema

2009-05-13T23:23:00.000-06:00

Hay que USPS. We are just having the worst time with them. Lola has been trying to get to the bottom of our missing packages and mail. Those cajitas that we keep sending and never get to where they are going. Pues, Lola cracked the case last week. She found someone on Etsy selling her cerdito that she had made for Miss Sarita.

Lola knew there was un problema por que Sarita was not getting her packages from Nana. Despues, Lola went on Etsy una noche to look for a crochet pattern for pigs. Miss Sarita's favorite animal. Lola found her pig for sale. SI!!!!!

After talking with the man in charge at the post office, they had all the proof they needed. La policia was contacted and now Lola has a meeting on Thursday at the post office. Ella also has to claim a ton and a half of packages por que these people were opening the cajitas and taking what they wanted from them. Then they would sale the items on Ebay or Etsy.

Ahora, Lola is on damage control. She has to contact all these people and explain the situation. I feel bad. Pero, I am in Las Vegas working until the 20th. Pues, Lola made a list of things that have been sold, and she is going to remake them. Dos cositas, are for swaps for me. Si, pues I feel bad. Pero, she told me not to worry.

I will have to buy her something extraordinary. I will keep mi ojitos looking for the perfect Gracias gift. I just hope our partners are understanding.

Feliz Día del Delantal

2009-05-11T19:42:00.000-06:00

If you didn't get that, Happy Apron Day! Si, es hoy. With everything that has happened hoy, I forgot to tell you. Que? Sam forgot something. Si! I know, it has been a rough one. Pues, I made it to Las Vegas and I had some time to think before I need to prepare for work.

El Delantal, it was something that I always loved about mi abuelita. She always wore one. Anytime you went to visit her, she was in the kitchen con delantal. It has been the same one from when I was little until now. The same one. Years ago, when I first learned how to sew, I made her a new one. Out of tela she picked. Mi abuelita likes flowers, she picked a tela con yellow rositas. I sat for days and days on end trying to complete her delantal. Pues, dos semanas later, I was done. I wrapped it up and took it to her. Ella son mas feliz que ninitos on Christmas morning.

I waited and waited for her to put it on. Mi abuelita got up walked to her "special cajita" under her bed. She placed it in there, and went back into the cocina. You see, mi abuelita cherished it, loved it. Pero, it wasn't her delantel. It was one that she would later wear cuando los vecinos came for a visit, but not for cooking.

Now, mi abuelita is older. It is hard for her to do a lot of the same things. Pero, every single mananita, she puts it on. Now she sits at mi mami's mesa and helps cook. She will peel papitas, roll tortillas, or chop onions. Pero, todo las dias, ella wears her delantal con muncho carino.

Lola is a basket of nerves. At least that is what I got out of the 2 min I had her on the telefono. Pues, Sarita took a turn for the worst. In a really bad way. I just ask anyone who reads this...please pray for her. She is 3 yrs old and has cancer. Things today have not been good. Pues, Lola wants to go be out there for la Familia C. Pero, trabajo is calling. Along with escuela. Please, please, please pray for Sarita.

Mucho Calor

2009-05-07T16:36:00.000-06:00

I cannot believe how HOT it is outside. Hay calor!!! We could be in for it this summer. It is only May and we are already hitting 100. Pues, we just deal. Lola made me laugh. She hauled in 3 big fans, opened all the windows, and stick 10 bottles of agua in the freezer. She was ready to pass out with her 3 mile walk home from escuela. The skirt y zapatos might have had something to do with that. She had an important presentation hoy.

Right now, I am sitting in the back porch, just trying to stay cool. The wind is blowing, and I am not getting any work done. Papa money (a nickname for my boss) wants some sketches. Pues I cannot even think in this heat. I could be in some HOT mexicana music video right now. Sweating with mi Coca-Cola y musica mexicana. I think I am just going to go for a walk. I don't even want comida esta noche. A walk sounds good.

Primero, I need to sign up for an apron swap. Si, un otro swap. They are lots of fun. Y, I think this blog will make swapping a lot easier and more enjoyable. Si! I can share with you the aprons i make and the goodies I get back.

Feliz Dia de Cinco de Mayo

Felicidades para todos. I am excited about today. Not so much about Cinco de Mayo...that is fun though. But today I am going to dos fiestas con Lola...mi amigita. La primera is one that some friends are throwing. Lola and some other mariachis are preforming. Las ninitas are dancing...y la comida is going to be delicoso! We are pretty excited. It is definitely a family style party. But we are happy to spend bueno tiempo with friends. Pues, after that, Mr. J is having a birthday party. Si, mi amigo guerito was born on Cinco de Mayo. The band is throwing a surprise party for him. Feliz Cumpleanos J! I hope everyone enjoys their day!

I decided to join the blog world. I have been blogging off and on for a while on my MySpace page. But it just doesn't seem right anymore. Tambien...I don't know how to add pictures to my post there. So here I am. Aqui...on blogger. Let's see how I do. Dedos crossed...this will work out better. I plan to just share some of my crafts...maybe even a little bit of my art. We will see.
