2nd Xmas Card

2009-12-02T13:34:00.001-08:00

This is my second Christmas Card I'm doing for my daughter's ECE classmates. I absolutely love The Greeting Farm stamps. ADORABLE!

I'm still trying to get a handle on using an X-acto knife, I definitely need a paper slicer because my lines are a big squiggly and not professional looking at all. But hey, who's looking that close anyway right :)

I need to follow sketches because sometimes I just throw papers around and they end up looking kinda weird. Sort of like this one ;)

I used:

1st Xmas Card...

2009-12-01T11:37:00.000-08:00

I decided to do some Christmas cards this year for my daughters class. I am an extremely newbie card maker. So my cards wont be that great. Which is a good thing because I have to do 18 cards. So I figure my kids last day of school is ON the 18 I can do I card a day, because just doing one card takes me like 5 hours to do :)

This is my first year of actually making hand made cards and actually passing them out. I did do "Happy Thanksgiving" cards and those were really fun to do and I got complimented on them so I was proud of myself so I thought I'd try doing more holiday cards. And christmas cards seem more entertaining since it's nothing but glitter and cute stamps!

This one is my first one. I got this idea from one of ---> PIXIE DUST STUDIO <--- gallery of pictures.

I used:
Hot Pink, Lime Green Cardstock (Don't know the brand, I just bought them from Hobby Lobby

EK Success Corner punch

Martha Stewarts Doily Lace Edge Punch

Digital Stamp: ---> PIXIE DUST STUDIO <--- "Twas the night before"

Colors: Martha Stewart Colored pencil set

Cupcake Princess

2009-08-02T18:58:00.000-07:00

I've been messing around with scrapbooking for a while and I just can't seem to really get the creativeness that I'm looking for. Here is one of my pages "Cupcake Princess". Or it could be I need more punches, chipboards, rub ons, maybe add some embossing on there.

New bag...

2009-06-21T16:49:00.000-07:00

I got this tote at Hobby Lobby and wanted to upgrade it a bit so that I can carry the necessary things that I never think about carrying with me for my daughter.

I really wanted to use the pink fabric I had purchased to wrap it.

But I'm not sure If I added too much glue under the fabric or this fabric didn't want to be decoupaged to this kind of fabric but this wasn't working out. You see all those marks of glue seeping through, and then I added modpodge on TOP of it and it looked even worse. So the solution...Buy another one and start over.

This time I decided to use Folkart acrylic paint in #2850 Neon Pink all over and Folkart in #2241 Apple Green on the trim. I added Hot Topic stickers and here's my basic tote.

I still need to finish painting the inside of the handles, maybe even adding some ribbon, hmm don't know how that would look.

Not too shabby...

2009-06-17T17:29:00.000-07:00

I am little by little trying to decorate my kids room and I went with pink and black. So I decided to give decoupage furniture a try. And I went big. I have had this little yard sale ugly little brown dresser for 4 yrs that is in my kids room.
I never thought about spray painting it or decoupaging it or anything until I started to release my inner craftiness.

I went to Hobby Lobby (LOVE THAT STORE) and found this fabric that goes well with the design of the same scrapbook paper I used to make the wall art.

I just cleaned off the dresser and just taped off the part I painted black with FOLKART ACRYLIC PAINT.

I just measured out whatever I was going to need and used MODPODGE to glue it all over.

I also bought this awesome pink fabric I was going to use to update a tote bag and noticed it would look great with the color scheme I was going for in her room so I incorporated it on the drawers, I took off those handles and painted them black, again with FOLKART PAINT. And this is the end result.

In total I spent $9.63
The black/white fabric was $5.49 a yard.
The pink fabric was on sale $4.14 a yard
I already had everything else.

Disney's Train Tour

2009-06-13T19:40:00.000-07:00

We were invited to Disney's A Christmas Carol Train Tour today. Check out there website http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/christmascaroltraintour/ and take a look at the movie that comes out in Nov.

It was lots of fun, it was FREE and the best of all while we were standing in line for 2 hrs the last few minutes that we were up next to go in the train, it started to RAIN like cats and dogs. Great day!

I want one...

2009-01-12T09:00:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we went window shopping and we stopped by a LIDS store and my hubby had wanted to buy a hat that cost $35 bucks and I was thinking well damn if your going to spend that much might as well go big and better. Thinking YEA ED HARDY

and then I seen these..ooh soo pretty!

Christian Audigier does awesome work. Though buying his clothes make you look cool they will definitely leave you broke. Just a hat cost around $70. So one day I will afford a hat hahaha!

It has been a while...

2008-12-15T12:07:00.000-08:00

Well 8 months really. I never lost faith that one day I would return to keep writing nonsense on a blog that took me longer to decorate than really write :)

10 days till Xmas and I'm sooo excited! One thing I'm definetly excited about is my new Curve !!! I know it's been out for awhile, 2 years really but who cares, and I absolutely love it. They actually have phone THEMES to go with it. I just found out this one bloggers 'blog' has LOTS of girly themes yea for me! In case anyone is interested, take a look.

www.nancydrewthemes.com
They even two websites where you can have your phone into awesome colors.
www.colorware.com For just the back and front cost's like $99 bucks.
www.beckymae.com She's just a little cheaper I think they go from $60 to $80
They do awesome work like this
and
Pwerty!

Making me cry...

2008-04-17T07:23:00.000-07:00

Well it's obviously been a while since I've written on here. Everything pretty much just revolves work and daycare.. So nothing real exciting to talk about there.

Wait I lied. For a minute there I was having difficulties leaving my kid at daycare. The first 2 starting days that I left her there she left running away from me to go play with all the cool stuff and didn't even give me a second look back so I assumed she would have no problem there.

Then because the way my work schedule is I made the mistake of not being there for a whole week and when I returned that Monday she literally had a melt down. She cried and ran away from me but not into the class room, away from them and entered another classroom and hid behind one of the teachers. I carried her in my arms trying to console her and I walked into her class when one of the daycare ladies just literally grabbed her from me. Which I DID not appreciate her doing.

I think I would have done OK in trying to calm her down before I had to go but it was like a scene out of a movie where a social services lady was taking kids out of there house. My kid was grabbing at my shirt and jacket and when I left I was crying. It made me so mad at the lady and I cried because I had Never seen my kid like that. And then I started regretting going back to work so soon. So I need to take her more regularly so that she gets used to it and they all tell me it's good to start now because then when it's actually time for her to start school she would of be more used to it.

Too much drama...

2008-04-09T20:21:00.000-07:00

Wow It's been awhile since I've been able to blog and I'm on a serious withdrawal :D

Let me tell you it's has been a long time since I have been on my feet for 7 hours a day for 4 straight days.. My feet hurt and I swear they have swollen up to 2 xtra sizes. ewww.. Thank goodness I have Thursday and Friday off.. yea for me!

There has been so much drama there since I've started. Managers and District Managers being fired for suppose stealing, people walking out, the managers threatening the walked out employees that they would make sure they wouldn't get hired at any retail place again, it's just a mess. Everybody talks about everybody, I swear it's like being in high school again. And I work with 30 and 40 year old people..

One store manager is applying to be a District manager and she's rude to all the employees and other store managers. Yea... that went straight to her head and she isn't even training yet. So lots of drama but whatever, I do my own work and keep my private life out of work (but haha share it to the blog world right :D). I don't need this job and I could save my money from not sending my kid to a daycare but I like doing something more productive and my child has a different experience in her life. So I'm hoping I can stay out of the drama till at least one pay period. =)

P.S Cindy from Cindysrandomness.. I couldn't get into your blog if you just give me an email address then I can help you out... :D

1st day off...

2008-04-04T08:41:00.000-07:00

Well not much to say about training from yesterday same packet and video. Though I appreciated that he didn't sing at all so.. Today is my "day off" so I'm catching up on cleaning and errands I need to run.

But I'll leave you with FRIENDS Bloopers Season 2 I watched this yesterday and I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt and tears were coming down hard :D

I'm a working mama...

2008-04-02T18:31:00.000-07:00

So I have a ^JOB^. I started training today. I think it's going to be a good experience getting back in the workforce..eventually I had to do it so why not know. My little one is ready to go to preschool anyways.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm not working in that same store of the manager who hired me. I was trying to finish my packet and finish watching a training video but I couldn't concentrate because he kept singing..loudly... off key... and in the same room I was in. Very distracting. He kept talking to me and I was thinking to myself.. "Would you like me to finish today or not?"

And he talks about himsel constantly. That he used work at MAC and that he doesn't know why he downgraded. He made his store at MAC the best one in the state, he takes nobody's crap, that he was the best makeup artist ever blah, blah, blah..

And he's mean, he kept being mean to his own newbie girl.. saying that she wasn't catching on right away I mean hello if you've never done that kind of a job before it's going to take a while. He kept saying like "She's driving me crazy".

So yea I'm definitely happy he won't be my manager. My ^ DISCOUNT ^ has already taken affect. yea! Can't wait to get my 1st $ paycheck so that I can start spending it like a mad woman :D

Spring is in the air...

2008-04-01T07:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I decided to go to a couple of Daycare centers by my house, you know just IN CASE the manager of the beauty supply store did call me I wasn't left running around like a chicken without it's head trying to figure out where to leave my kid.

I go to one and I enter and it's a tiny place where I think they only accept 10 kids or so which I liked because I knew they would definitely keep a good eye out on the kids.It's kinda quiet and I ask her "Do you have any openings"? and she's like no we are pretty booked and she has a waiting list of 10 kids. I was hoping this wasn't going to be my problem with other day cares because I know how long those waiting list can be.

My sister placed her kid on a waiting list and they didn't call her until 2 months later.

But she tells me of a new Daycare that just opened up and they're enrolling right now. I go down there and the director is just a sweetie, she was so nice to us (of course in part too because she needed my business :D So I told her I would just need them to take care of her 2 days a week and she gave me a great rate so now all I had to do was wait and see if they called me.

So I get home and an hour later he calles me to set up an interview for today. YEA! I'm really excited. I think my main goal is for him to let me be able to work mornings. I let him know that when he bombarded me with the application and he said it was no problem so I'm hoping he's able to keep that "no problem" and let me do mornings.

I didn't think he was going to call me so soon I assumed maybe like on Wednesday or something. And it's a good thing I decided to check out a couple of daycares in my area.

I got my up's and down's with daycares. I can leave her at a daycare and they will teach her preschool studies, and she definetly gets to interact with more kids. But then I kind of don't like it because you really don't know WELL the people who are taking care of your child, and I'm not working full time so I will also be home enough so that I also put my part in and also teach her and be with her as much as possible too.

Well we'll see what happens...

2008-03-30T08:45:00.000-07:00

So yesterday was uber exciting for me. I decided to be a follower and get my hair cut similar to this...

I actually printed this picture out (hope i don't get sued or anything for that) and showed it to the hairstylist and let me tell you, I have been trying to get this haircut for about 2 yrs now.. But what's weird 6 yrs ago before Posh Beckham did this style I had it done. I swear I'm not making it up. Anyway last year when she came out with this style I thought I'd try it again so I go to this wanna be salon and they totally did not understand what I wanted even though I showed her a picture of it. Now how do you really mess that up?

So I decide to give it another try and oh my gosh this hairstylist absolutely did an awesome job. Though she didn't really make it as choppy but it's ok I can always go back later again.

Then afterwards I took my sister to a beauty supply store I used to work at because they still give me discounts and we enter and I find out that my old boss (who gave me the discounts)got fired. But while we're at the eyeshadow area the new manager at that store tells me he loves the way I did my eye makeup.(I had used my new yellow with blue on top.) Then he tells me he loves my haircut and my haircolor which is still red, (which actually looks better faded out a bit because my top hair is red and my ends are blonde so it looks cool,) and he askes me what products I used and I tell him I buy them here at this store and he tells me "Girl, why aren't you working here?" and I told him I used to like 3 yrs ago and he's like "Well were hiring here's an application, you know what just fill it out now I'll wait" I was so thrown off gaurd.

We went in to buy eyeshadows and I'm practically walking out with a job. He liked it better that I was bilingual and that I used to work there. And the good part is that he let me put all of my hours in the morning which would be great so that I can be with my little one in the evening along with my hubby and that job is exactly 5 minutes from my house and 8 minutes from the hopefully daycare she would be at.

So today was really exciting and so much fun. When I have time I'll load up pics of my new 'do.

Makeup Haul...

2008-03-28T07:15:00.000-07:00

Well this is what I went and purchased Wednesday...

1) These are the hair clips I bought to start putting my little girls hair bows together (Once I have those put together then I'll show them off too)

2) I must have my fake eyelashes because I have NONE.. I'm completely bare, when I was younger and used to wear mascara the way I would take off my mascara at the end of the day was by pulling the mascara off with my fingers and of course eyelashes came with it.

3) This is L`Oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in "Black"..It's similar to MAC's Fluidline.. I had purchased a liquid liner from ULTA and man that was the saddest $8 bucks spent EVER! That liquid liner did not work at all. It had a sponge applicator and it kept making streaks instead of a line. And this one is awesome. You only use a little bit on your brush applicator and it goes a long way.

4)Maybelline Powder Finishing Loose Powder in "Translucent".. After applying makeup I've never used a powder to finish and to keep the makeup in tact so I thought I'd try one out. So far so good...

5) L`Oreal HIP Dual Eyeshadow in "Flamboyant".. I love bright colors.. the yellow isn't that bright but it's good enough for me, I'm still hoping to buy MAC's yellow because that is one BRIGHT color.. anyhow, it's a duo with a mellow purple.

6) Makeup I use..Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in "Honey Beige" Liquid gets to oily on my face and can't do powder because it gets all cakey on me. This mousse glids on so smooth.

7) I had to try Wet'n wild Mega Glo cheek illuminater. Suppose to give me that whole bronzy, shiny cheek look. Sort of like this...

And sadly I have lasted only 1 day on TOPMOMMA imagine my NOT surprised face when I check my email and the first message on there says (which I have to say they get straight to the point) on the subject header "You just got booted from TOPMOMMA.COM".

click once, click twice click all the time =)

2008-03-26T17:19:00.000-07:00

So YEA! Finally I'm on the front page of TopMomma.com

They had me waiting for like a month and they finally let me know today I'm on there. I think they wait awhile to see If the blog has any readers or something so I thank my ~~READERS~~ oops my ONE reader for letting them finally accept me. Today is my first day on there so you know I had to show off.

So the point is you have to have an interesting picture as your profile so that you can get lots of clicks and the longer you stay up there the longer people have a chance to take a look at your blog. So that's pretty much it. So if you would like to see me last longer than one day (which would be so sad) go to TOPMOMMA.COM.
and click on my little kids pic . If you like no pressure :D

So now I'm off to spend my hubby's money on makeup..Can never pass up those buy one get one free offers =)

Spring is in the air...

2008-03-24T08:21:00.000-07:00

With Spring being here walking I think is a great way to get fresh air and do some sort of exercise. Because I hate the other exercising. You know the dumbell raises, leg squats, and situps..boooo

Yesterday I saw a cattle bell at Target and I thought about buying it and my hubby picked it up from the shelf and almost dropped it so I think it's a little out of my fitness range.. if he can't pick it up then I'm guessing I definitely can't either.

I was hearing people doing some sort of Liquid Diet and I hear that they lost like 9lbs in ONE WEEK! Even I know that's unhealthy. How sensitive would the stomach be after just consuming liquids and then go back and eating solids.

Or how about NutriSystem you spend around $200 dollars every two weeks for prepackaged food but YET you still have to add YOUR own fruits and vegetables..um...ok...

Then I heard people using Slimfast AND NutriSystem together. Man the things these people will do to lose weight. I may be curvalicious but I have my limits. I really, really prefer to TRY to do it healthy by cooking healthy foods because I prefer to eat :D

So lately everywhere I turn everyone is talking about the new MAC Heatherette Collection.

For all the hype about it I hear that it's really not that great. I personally wouldn't spend $35 on a trio palette

And these Lipcolors don't even go with my skin color, I would really stick out with the pink one.. but their packaging looks cute

Reading does a brain good...

2008-03-22T07:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was such a beautiful day I couldn't stay in. First I had called my library to see if they carried a specific book and I told them to hold it for me I'll stop by to pick it up. The library lady tells me "OK" and if I was also going to pay off my fine I had. I knew I had one so I asked her how much it was.. Now I'm assuming it's like maybe $8-$10 NOT $25!!

I try so hard to predict where the money is going and not try to have unexpected things like this happen. It's my own fault I don't know why I just wouldn't call to renew it or anything and the best part I only live 5 minutes from the library. I know I don't have to pay it right this minute but then down the line after I forget about it the next thing you know I'm getting mail from the Collection Agency. Ick!

So the library is 5 minutes from my house in car and walking to it is 20 minutes and they say that walking is best for you but nobody glorifies how it is walking up a hill on a semi hot day with a 3 year old in 30 minutes is good for you. She kept stopping because she was tired of walking up a hill and she kept sitting down, it's funny because when we take her to the park she's all over the place and here at the house I can't get her to stop running around. I guess because she thinks the same thing all grown ups do "Walking is no fun as an exercise". Well that's what I think anyways.

So I go down there to pay the amount and as soon as we enter she's miraculously not tired anymore and runs straight to the play area. Our library is small it carries, I say 10 computers and everyone of them had a little kid attached to it. Playing computer games, getting on Myspace, looking up cars and such. I mean, great their learning how to use a computer and you have to eventually read ever site your one or whatever but come on your in a library, can someone read a BOOK.

I love the library the different types of book out there and the creativity of one's moind. On the computer you read whatever it is your looking up but your not really reading the importance of a book whether it be Fiction, Non Fiction or just for the hell of it.

Oh well can't bitch too much because I'd die if I didn't have my computer

To really want to go to work...

When I'm ready to get back into the work force I would definetly want a fun and exciting job. Some of these jobs might not pay well but at least one would definetly be enjoying them.

A Makeup Artist:

Because you have the ability to display a face to its full potential. You can make that person feel and look as attractive as possible.

A Dancer

Dancers express ideas, stories, rhythm, and sound with their bodies. I personally would have loved to be a HIP HOP dancer. Their rhythms and dances are just great. I never considered being like a Ballet or Jazz dancer because you have to be agile, flexible, have good body tone and *ha ha* I never did have those requirements =)

A Nightclub owner:

You get to own your own entertainment venue. Where people want to get in for the music, the decor, the dance floor and whichever forms of entertainment you have. And you get to party and enjoy your work environment every single night!

How awesome would it be to be known as an FBI Agent?

"To protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners."

And what kind of fan would I be if I wouldn't put up Jennifer Lopez and her 1-month old babies on here. Are Max and Emme a cutie. But I definetly think someother parent might not be too happy about another newborn with the same name as her kid. =)

Now see she has the best job EVER! She gets to play out everybody's dream out. She gets to be an FBI Agent in Out of Sight a DANCER in her music videos, she owns her own restaurant and Jennifer Lopez makeup artist is one lucky man =)

Las Vegas, Here we come...

2008-03-17T09:20:00.000-07:00

These are the days that I'm waiting for. No more being stuck in the house because it's always snowing. Sitting here I have literally memorized every crack on these walls. Then when Summer comes everyone is going to complain that it's too hott and can't wait for the snow..

My dad let me know that he's planning a trip to Las Vegas next month and wanted to know if we wanted to come along. I definetly think it would be fun to go. I've never been there. He's been there a gazillion times and he swears this time he's going to try to look at the scene across the street. You know because there is so much to see you don't have time to see everything.

But If we do go it would only be my and the little one because hubby wouldn't be able to take days off. I would definetly feel bad because he would be working while we would be having tons of fun hundreds of miles away.

If would be such a great experiance for my little one. I doubt she will remember when she's older but a different environment from all the snow now would be fun.

A day at the park and spending the night with a Hitman...

2008-03-16T11:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday it was such a nice day that when hubby got home we decided to take the two little ones out to the park for awhile. And once we got to the park we forgot that there is a big lake nearby and when we got off the car it became EXTREMELY cold.

When we came from the park we rented out HITMAN. I thought It was going to be boring but I actually liked it. The main character as the 'hitman' was Timothy Olyphant who I thought was a cutie.

How fun...

2008-03-15T08:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my sister decided to drop by before my hubby got home and we decided to waste gas and go walk around just to get out of the house and get fresh air. We ended up going to TJMaxx and from the last time I remembered going in there they have definitely upgraded. It was much neater, much more organized and have more brands than before. But now more expensive than before.

My kid, probably knowing I wasn't going to really buy her any toys decided to grab every toy she could get her hands on and get on the floor and play with them.

Then we decide to head out next door to Home Depot, yup that's how bored and broke we were. This picture is funny because they both decided to just lay down all crazy in the buggy's.

After awhile we went home. I finished cleaning and made an early dinner. When my hubby got home we went over to the in laws house and it was nice this time. She made these for me (by hand) and I sat there while she actually finished the white one for me.

After that we went to watch "Horton Hears a WHO" It was cute and funny but I'm not sure if I liked Jim Carey's voice for 'Horton'. But I knew that we should have waited until it was out for at least a month. That theater was SOOO crowded of crying, whining, yelling kids. I seriously haven't been in a room that noisy before. Not counting high school.

I'm off to bed again to watch The View with a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of brownie because.I.Can =).. oh wait! Today is SATURDAY. I don't have the View today.. sheesh I'm so behind in days. Have a good St. Patrick's Day Weekend =)

Where are the great actors hiding?

2008-03-14T10:43:00.000-07:00

Today is crummy day. No sun, it's cold outside and I don't have any hot chocolate or donuts.

I feel like watching a really, really good movie. Anybody have any good suggestions?

Nothing with Owen Wilson:
*Someone who has a nice life, great opportunities and a great family and decides that he would like to take himself out of there life doesn't deserve any right to be called a celebrity where people would look up to him. That's MY opinion on Owen Wilsom. That and he is a BAD actor. I can't seem to look away from his REALLY crooked nose.*

Nothing with Lindsey Lohan:
Is there really a reason why she is supposedly famous? She is such a waste of tax payers money.

And please no SHREK, my kid watches it so much I have it almost memorized word by word.

Not with George Clooney
I'm not a big fan of his. His movie Micheal Clayton reminds me of movies like THE FIRM, which I would definetly watch but it doesn't look appealing with Clooney in it. He doesn't do serious movies well. If maybe Tom Cruise was in it (because he does excellent movies like that) then maybe I would have watched it or even Micheal Douglas. Where is he? I love the movies he makes. My favorite is THE WAR OF THE ROSES. Didn't he and Kathleen Turner make such a great couple on the big screen?

What ever happened to good movies like A FEW GOOD MEN, YOUNGUNS, BRAVEHEART, or THE MONSTER SQUAD hahaha just kidding.

Not that I have the time to watch a movie anyways, I woke up late today and have to clean my house and disinfect it, then I have to get dinner ready so that we can go and visit my In-Laws again. *sigh*

I. am. so. weak.

2008-03-12T13:45:00.000-07:00

Well it's official I have nothing left to say. Monday and Tuesday were pretty boring days just the usual clean and stay home. Yesterday the most exciting thing we did was hubby getting a hair cut. Oh and can't forget about my sick night after eating at Red Robin. I was sick all night I probably got food poisoning or something. I still feel a bit weak from all the double hurling I was doing.. yuk yuk OK OK.. Today we're suppose to go and get our taxes done as soon as he gets home from work.

It's funny because I haven't gotten sick this whole time my family was sick. I really thought I was going to catch the cold and have it progress to the 'I'm dying' flu.

I'm hoping that maybe tomorrow we are able to take my little one to watch "Horton hears a who" I'm not sure If I really want to go tomorrow because it's going to be so packed and I'm not up for full theatres of kids screaming, yelling and throwing popcorn in my face. If we do go this would be the first time we've taken our kid out to watch a cartoon in a theatre. We did take her to a drive in to watch Shrek 3 and all she did was climb all over us in the car so that wasn't fun.

I feel so sluggish...

2008-03-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

I have hereditary dark circles and lately with losing sleep from everyone even my crazy pup being sick my circles have literally made me look like a raccoon.

I'm sleepy through out the day, to tired to clean up my messes or anyone elses, I sometimes literally fall asleep in front of the monitor.

And you'd think being able to sleep at any given time I'd nap the day away but instead:

I watch Law and Order reruns ALL DAY

I force myself to vacuum.

I stare at the monitor all day and recheck my email every 3 minutes.

I blog or I will sit here until I have something to blog about.

I will check everyone on my blog roll at least 3x each to make sure no one has *updated* anything

I know I have to get my 8 hours of rest so that I have the energy to... lets see... oh yea, *SIGH* it's called housework. I try really hard to clean my house in the evening so that when I wake up I don't really have to do anything but of course that never works because while I stare at a clean kitchen all proud of myself I will go check on my kid in her room and *UGH* she has taken all of her clothes out of her dressers, her toys are all over the place, her bed is undone and on top of that she's running around naked. Please Dear God don't let her pee from the excitement, where she thinks it's fun having mommy chase her around the house. Because it so no fun cleaning up a trail of pee.

And after looking at my clean kitchen again to calm myself I hear ripping sounds and go into the living room where I find my 'I'm going to kill you' pup ripping the couch and pulling out the stuffing from it. Yea OK I can see where sleep is necessary. And forget trying to keep those raccoon eyes under control, I would just like to keep my sanity in check...

I don't want to clean and you can't make me

2008-03-07T09:13:00.000-08:00

If you would see my house now it looked like twin tornadoes hit it. I have dishes piled up, my counter is full of dishes, my bed is unmade, my floor needs to be swept along with the kitchens, my kids and my hamper are ready to topple over, my office needs to be vacuumed and eww I haven't cleaned my computer today and lets not even start in the bathroom. And can you believe I'm not the one that's sick. So instead of cleaning I'm here blogging about cleaning, yea so.not.cool.

And thanks Ms JOHNINA for your advice.

Since my pup chewed up my pink IPod earphones I have not been in the mood to wash dishes. I think that's the only way I get through it by listening to music but now he's ruined that and I'm still pissed at him. But after my hubby feels better and after I've cleaned the WHOLE house he'll see how much I need new headphones and hopefully buy me a She took care of me AND our daughter while we were both sick and still cleaned the house" gift. HAHAHA right I think I'm going to have to buy these beautiful headphones myself.

If not well I'll settle for these

5 weirdies about me..

2008-03-06T08:48:00.000-08:00

I was tagged by SHERRI at HAND OVER THE ALTOIDS.

5 weird or strange things about me:

I am a 26 yr old mother who still loves to add glue to my hand and then peel it off

I will drink a chocolate Slimfast while eating pizza

I only own 2 pairs of shoes GASP

I hate shopping for clothes

I don't like super dramatic movies like Crash, Reign over Me, 21 grams and so on. Real life is hard already so I like watching something that takes me away for awhile!

If you would like to do this TAG then go ahead and knock yourselves out =)

Being overtaken by germs...

2008-03-06T07:43:00.000-08:00

These past two days have been hectic. My hubby has a chronic cough, it's so bad that he has almost lost the ability to speak. My daughter had the CROUP COUGH. I think of all the illnesses she could get the CROUP is the worst of them all especially when it flares up at night. She's feeling much better now but not hubby because he has to work he isn't getting the rest he needs so he probably wont be getting better anytime soon.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and I walked smack in the middle of them making a commercial promoting their store. I'm not too worried because I know they've deleted my ugly mug or just re taped =). I seriously hate going to that specific grocery store. Their parking lot sucks, they don't have lines to separate their spaces. That grocery store looks big but it's not. They only have 7 lanes and only 4 open. Just like Super Target where they carry groceries, they have 30 lanes and only open 5. It's SO crowded in there you can't maneuver your grocery cart without bumping items or bumping into people. Now you ask, "Why are you still going there?" It's because they have AWESOME prices on their selections.

So to get their great prices I must endure being pushed out of the way, standing in line for 15 Min's, and almost hitting a car while backing up.

Where are all the intelligent people...

2008-03-04T06:45:00.000-08:00

News these days are just so insane. You have stories of MOMS FIGHTING AT CHUCK E. CHEESES. One mom got angry because a kid was hogging up an arcade game and these women fighting physically, with all the hair pulling, are practically in there 40's. You would think they know better.

Then you have a MAN SHOOTING HIMSELF to get out of work. Really? He lied to cops about what happen. So now he doesn't have to worry about having a couple days of work he pretty much doesn't have a job and might go to jail along with his friendly neighborhood shooter for his little stunt.

This one is pretty funny, this man robs a store and LEAVES HIS W-2 FORM along with his jacket at the scene.

I can't believe the extremes people now a days do to get out of situations, or because they are irresponsible or don't care about consequences. To me they are just plain stupid people. Where is the common sense in these people? Mothers fighting in a place for children. Now you kid is going to grow up thinking fighting over petty stuff is OK.

Take for instance my petty incident over KITKATS, the cashier lady got all riled up over nothing. One of my commenters said 'Why didn't you slap her'? And instantly she knew that it wouldn't be a good thing to be doing those kind of things in front of my daughter. It's only common sense and for the fact of not getting myself into trouble over nothing.

And whatever happen to just calling in sick for a day? Is your job that extreme that they wouldn't believe that person and demand they still go in to work?

Why rob a store when EVENTUALLY you will get caught. 'Nuff said.

And then you have this DUMB WANNA BE CELEB. Heidi mixed her voice over one of Britney's previously recorded and never released song without getting Britney's managment's permission to do this. This attention whore will do anything to get noticed even stealing because she obviously has no talent of her own. I wouldn't be surprised if this was all of Spenceshit's doing. Listen and see what you think.

HEIDI'S "DUET" W/ BRITNEY

Friends..Strangers

2008-03-02T09:30:00.000-08:00

Are you considered friendless if you share your stories and daily rantings about life on a blog instead of to real people?

Are you considered a hermit if you are a SAHM who DOES stay at home and occasionally goes to the park, run errands and then goes straight home, or goes to the library for kids day?

Are you considered chicken if you prefer to stay home with your husband and child then go out on a night out with your friend who has invited along ALL her single, childless friends who are anxiously waiting to get plastered?

Well those are all the names my 'so called best friend' of 8 years called me yesterday. I don't know why I still even considered talking to her after my supposed best friend missed my mother's funeral. Why I still considered talking to her when she always assumed her life was better than mines, or more fulfilling because I got married and had a child. Since my daughter has been born 3 yrs ago, she has seen my daughter twice.

One time we had gotten into an argument and I told her I really needed her as a friend because I felt alone with my husband always working and my mother not always being able to visit and because she was MY BEST FRIEND. She told me not to blame her for my 'situation', which meant having my beautiful baby. I hate her so much right now that I just can't believe I have wasted all this time with her.

In some way I hope one day she can truly feel, how she thinks she may have friends now, but what will happen to them when she gets married or has children? Will they be there for her? Will they want to stop their partying to babysit for her or to at least visit her?

Seriously... Seriously?

2008-02-29T08:00:00.000-08:00

I tell you the most interesting day that happened last night was that a grocery clerk was arguing with me over some KitKats. You read right. It was not my fault swear. It was really PETTY but she's the one that got angry with me about some stupid kit Kat's.

OK we rented a movie at our grocery store that has a RedBox and my kid went straight for the chocolates by the movie stand and grabbed a Kit Kat. She handed it to us and we seen that it said 3 for 99c. So we decide to get 3 but we didn't notice that we picked the other 2 that didn't have the same sale on the wrapper.

When we went to the self checkout we ring them up and notice that the one that had the .33c on the wrapper DID ring up that way but the ones that did NOT have it rang up as .50c. So just asking I asked the cashier lady why it was ringing up .50c ea if we got it where it says .33c for 3. (I know, I know I should have let it go because it was only .17c difference on each candy bar) I would have probably purchased them either way but I was curious as to why. So she acts like I just interrupted her busy schedule and stomps off to another section of the chocolates and matter of factly says No they are 2 for $1." I said "OK but I didn't get it from here, I got it from that stand over there." But she just kinda blew me off and said again, "Well no matter they are 2 for $1."

Then she walks off to where I pointed at and I headed to where I got them originally and I was thinking "well maybe I grabbed only one that was .33c from an old promotion and they don't have anymore" and I'm kinda blaming myself for asking in the first place.

But then I noticed she went the other side of the movie stand and Viola there was a WHOLE stand there that had boxes of kitkats that said on the wrappers 3 for .99c. Yea! so take that.

But wait, instead of saying something like "Oh OK, well get these ones so they ring up as .33 ea or didn't know these were here" or whatever, this bitch goes to the customer service area and dangles a kitkat in front of the cashier and firmly tells her, "Make sure you TELL the manager that these have to be changed to 2 for $1." WTF? Nobody can do that if the price IS ON THE WRAPPER. She was just pissed and wouldn't apologize because she assumed she was right and I was wrong but it didn't turn out the way.

I thought the way she acted was way unprofessional. If she didn't or couldn't help us she could of had someone else help us. It's her job to find out about products and prices not yell at CUSTOMERS. Even if it is over KitKat's.

To sue or not to sue...

2008-02-26T09:02:00.000-08:00

I read that Jerry Seinfeld is being sued on a defamation and copyright infringement by the cook book author of 'The Sneaky Chef' MISSY CHASE LAPINE.

I think Missy is upset because Jessica Seinfeld's book 'Deceptively Delicious had more promotion (like on Oprah) and was written by a famous person. But I do agree that Jessica Seinfeld has similar recipes and a similar wink.

Which of course is the reason of the copyright infringement lawsuit (over a wink) and that Jessica stole recipe ideas. But Jerry Seinfeld was also to blame for the things he was saying about her and she filed that lawsuit even more with a vengeance. Like calling her a "wacko", or that she has three names which are associated to become assassins. That the idea of sneaking healthy foods in a child's diet is not original. And the fact that just because she's Jerry Seinfeld's wife she received more promotion. And then when Jessica came out with her cook book she received a ton of backlash. I didn't know anything about Jessica but I did after like 5 minutes. About her being a gold digger and what not. Anyway...

How funny when they finally meet in court.

But I also think that parents should have done this right away as soon as the kids could eat solid foods. I mean what were they feeding them when they were infants? Gerber fruit and vegetable purees. So all of a sudden when they are toddler and then kids do you just automatically stop feeding the kids vegetables when they were growing up with it all along? It could definitely be a big help but only if you've steered away from giving them vegetables.

I'm not saying my kid eats all her veggies but I definitely try to give it to her at every meal and read up on how to make it more fun for her to eat it without tricking her. I try my best to do this because growing up I never had vegetables and if you see a pic of me then you'd understand why I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up not eating in a healthy way. It also give me the assentive to eat my vegetables to when I set them in front of her.

And now in the stores there are SO many ways to get your veggies. I buy the mini corn on the cob and she loves it, she eats her green beans but only cooked with eggs, she eats her celery with peanut butter and raisin ants. She LOVES eating carrots (and by themselves). So I know I can continuously give them to her and then she can get used to them when she's older.

But I can't say that there cookbooks are not good ideas. You never know when my kid gets older she may altogether stop eating her veggies and then those books may come in handy in helping her get her required vegetables.

But you have to admit Jessica's book cover looks more appealing to pick up than Sneaky Chef's. Which is the real reason they did it isn't it? To try to help parents find more creative ways in getting them to eat there vegetables. Not to fight over which wink looks better.

ugh...

2008-02-25T10:23:00.000-08:00

I've been so busy setting up insurance on the car and it's emission test.

We bought this car Friday night and on Saturday I had to take the car back to the dealer to get some stuff upgraded and it didn't dawn on me to go get insurance on the car that day. So my hubby decides he wants to drive it to his evening job where he gets out at 1245am. And on the second day that we have this car what happens? He gets a ticket...for no insurance. Now the cop just pulled him over for no reason and didn't offer a reason. Ended up given him the ticket.

Ugh, so now I'm upset with myself because if I would have gone on Sat. to insure the Jeep he wouldn't of gotten that ticket. I'm mad at him because he knew it didn't have ins. and I just don't like cops.

So now I'm thinking of trying to get a part-time job to try to help relive some of that stress off my hubby, but being home for 3 whole years taking care of my child. And to leave her kinda makes me nervous. Of all the stories you hear from babysitters, to day cares I'm a little weary of leaving her with strangers while I have to go of to work. I think that first day I leave her I'm going to just cry because I have always been with my daughter 24/7.

I would totally love to work from home but it's like you have to pay a certain home based company for them to get you started and have jobs mailed your way and not just a one time fee, it's like ever month. I was thinking of the option of doing those pay to do surveys but if you would see how much I hate answering one question at a time... or just answering questions that don't apply to me. It's sooo boring! And then some you have to like buy something for you to get paid so 'um' what's the point?

Well we'll see what happens.

Love my car =)

2008-02-23T11:12:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we finally bought my hubby's and my dream car. A Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. In the color we wanted silver, and it being a 4x4. Now I have barely been driving for about 3 years and in that time I have been used to a small 2 door Honda. So when I had to drive this big o' boat back by myself (hubby had to go to work) to the dealer so that they can do some upgrades I was nervous with an upset stomach and literally heaving up into I actually got into the drivers seat.

But then I was thinking to myself "just like if you were in your little small car." Because with a bigger car I have to make sure I'm actually in my lane, and not to close to the cars when were at a stop light and stuff like that. But I am now comfortable driving it and I am sooo excited =)WooHoo to me =)

Tag I'm it!...

2008-02-22T06:21:00.001-08:00

2008-02-21T18:04:00.001-08:00

This is Paula's new video and I have to say that I'm liking it alot. For someone who's always on pain pills she moves and dances well. You definitely know she missed being the in the spotlight as a singer and dancer. Yea! Spell check finally works! =)

I AM the best cook!

2008-02-21T12:04:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we went over my Inlaws house and like always it was mildy boring. My mother In-Law always has to rub it in my face that she thinks she's a better cook than me. She is really nice but when it comes to cooking she thinks that because my hubby is her mother he will always appreciate her food more. But thank goodness this isn't a 'Everybody loves Raymond' episode.

I don't have anything today...

2008-02-20T17:10:00.000-08:00

So I'm doing the Wordless Wednesday I see alot of bloggers do:

Simply Addicted...

2008-02-19T10:43:00.000-08:00

Even though I am married, a mother and almost in my gasp 30's (haha just kidding!)there are things that that I am totally obsessed with even though maybe I shouldn't be..

OBSESSION #1
I still love cartoons, not like my daughters cartoons of Dora but my all time favorite SAILOR MOON. LOVE that cartoon! They had powers, it had a great love story and they would kick ass! Maybe because in that time they hardly had any girl cartoons. I have them recorded and yes I still do watched them along with X-Men and Thundercats.

OBSESSION #2

I own the whole series of ELFQUEST comic books. This is not really for children. It's a 1977 fantasy story about Wolfrider elves, a tribe of hunter/warriors closely allied with wolves.

Lots of reasons why I love this comic. They have awesome names like, DewShine, Skywise JoyLeaf and so on. 2nd because it had a great story line that consisted of alot lot of fairies, magic, dedication, and love.

These comic books and 'Legend' with Tom Cruise are the reasons I love Fairies, which is my next obsession...

OBSESSION #3

Need I say more. Well yes I do, I'm not a fan of Tinker Bell because she's too overrated =)

Left the best for last OBSESSION #4
Awwwww my favorite men in the whole wide world! I have been a fan since '99 and man I'm still a huge fan. I have all their videos recorded, I have all their concert videos, all their cd's from the US and Europe.. I have gone to every one of there concerts held in my hometown. I have saved every posters of them..

Ohh.. you should have seen my room. A 20 yr old with TeenBeat carefully and with complete silence taking out their pictures and hanging them up and covering every inch of my old room, swear I have pictures of the way my room used to look, don't make me pull them out! =)

I turned everyone I knew into a fan.. well almost but still enough.

Kevin Richardson is and always will be my LOVER. You don't know how hard it was to only pick ONE picture of this man and how long it took me! I slobbered on my computer screen with every pic. My hubby makes me feel the same for him but Kevin can make me piss in my pants, throw up in excitement, and shake convulsively... ALL IN THE SAME TIME!

Be still my heart.

Dreams are so weird...

2008-02-18T09:04:00.000-08:00

I had the most bizzare dream last night.. lets see if I can remember it and tell it in a decent way.

I was in a house full of little kids, dogs, cats and I swear a HUGE gerbil who kept trying to bite me. I was supposedly frustrated about the living conditions that my hubby told me I should go to the bar to relax a bit. Once there I found myself talking to a couple there, but they seemed more like brother and sister, anyway, supposedly they knew me and they wanted to know about one of the other 'roomates' that was living there, and it was weird because we were talking smack about a boy I had a crush on in the 5th grade. Lord!

Then all of a sudden one of my high school friends who i've been trying to track down was there playing pool and I had felt like she had always been right in front of me the whole time, if that makes sense. Ok, then we all get together and I swear I end up having only one drink when I end up blackening out and not remembering a thing.

Then it gets weird, I'm supposedly driving to a dr. appt and I have my kid with me and I guess I was still in my bar clothes because I start changing clothes in the car and I'm only in a bra, a red bra, when i notice a cop car is behind me. We end up on a street with really high hills and i'm splashing the snow slush that was there. (I don't know what that had to do with the whole dream but it took awhile) Then we ended up in an ally across the street from the hospital and he turned right while I stopped there trying to cross left. Then all of a sudden it changes, I'm still slightly drunk and hitting on guys from my car when this fool comes along...

It was weird because I hadn't seen a picture of him or any of his movie since Weekend at Bernies. He was much shorter and cuter in my dream. Around this time it's getting fuzzier, pretty much I gather we get inside the hospital and I have cheated on my hubby (we didn't actually do the deed but I felt that we had) and I have been in the hospital all day trying not to get home. But then I'm ready to go when I'm having trouble getting my daughter to go. Then he tells me, You can't leave I said Why not? / You have just been raped. / What! By who? / Me. (I swear I didn't have any sex in my dream). I end up leaving the hospital and he walks me to my car and gawd I end up giving him my phone number. Then I'm driving of into my pending doom... SWEAR! That's how it ended when I woke up!

This dream felt so real that when I woke up I actully looked around to see where I was.. crazy! I have no idea where this dream came from..Well, some parts I do get, like me looking for my friend but I had stopped thinking of her maybe a week ago, and the whole rape discussion was when my hubby seen pamphlets on the desk and asked what they were and I had told him that a volunteer for the Rape Crisis Hotline was trying to get supporters to sign a petition and gave pamphlets about what to do in case you get raped. And that was the last discussion we had before going to bed. I know this is deep but man dreams are so insane!

What's for dinner?...

2008-02-17T12:19:00.000-08:00

I'm off to go grocery shopping but first I tried to make a grocery list. I was gettting bored of always doing the same meals so my sister gave me these two books

The first one is Robin Miller QUICK FIX MEALS. But let me tell you out of her 200 "simple, delicious recipes" I found only 6 recipes that I likes. YEA only 6! Rachel Ray's 365: NO REPEATS was the same, out of a recipe for every single day I only found 5 that I really enjoyed to make.

Most recipes are just ridiculous. Some have the same ingredients but then for the next evenings meal your adding one additional spice and that's it. No fun! And half of the ingrediants they use are stuff I normally don't purchase anyways. I don't buy Capers, fresh ginger, wasabi paste, dill and so on. Why can't they make new SIMPLE recipes. One recipe I did enjoy alot was from Rachel Ray's book. It was the:

Mega Meatball Pizza:
EVOO
1 pizza dough
palmful of flour
2 tbs finely chopped fresh rosemary
salt
1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin
1 med onion finely chopped
4 garlic cloves
black pepper
1 3 ounce can tomato paste
1/2 c grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3/4 c. fresh mozzarella

Preheat oven at 425

Place pizza dough on flour dusted pan and bake for 10 mins.

In a large Skillet add 2 tbsp of EVOO, brown and crumble the meat for a couple of minutes, then add the onions, garlic, s/p. Mix well, then work in the tomato paste, stir in cheese, parsley and oregano.

Remove pizza crush from the oven and top with the meat mixture. Arrange the cheese over the pizza and return it in the oven for another 11-12 mins

whoo

In this recipe she askes for Ground Sirloin but for some reason I did it with Ground Beef and it still turned it really good but now I have to try it with the Sirloin. Rachel has another real good recipe it's the Southwestern Pasta Bake. It's really just penne rigate pasta with ground beef with a cheddar cheese sauce, really good.

So off to the store we go sigh It's so gloomy outside I don't even feel like going..noooo you can't make me!!! I'm sure my little on can live of Ramen Noodle soup!

Fun stuff...

2008-02-16T14:31:00.000-08:00

So YEA! My hubby bought me all the stuff I needed to start making my first thing on my list to do from scratch which was to make my little girls hairbows...

And this was my reaction when he bought it for me. Yes I was dancing in the store!

To many addictions...

2008-02-16T08:34:00.000-08:00

I'm a person who never wanted to follow the moment's addiction. Whether it be YouTube, Myspace, even on TV shows. Never wanted to watch Desperate Housewifes because everyone watched it or even Friends until they became my favorite shows. Then I got a Myspace acct. I was super addicted. On Myspace the only thing I had to worry about was just adding pretty pictures and my About Me: always stayed the same. Didn't really think of changing it since people didn't read your ABOUT ME, they just really checked your page if you had boobs hanging out or something and some wouldn't even talk to you if you didn't have a picture AT ALL. My friend even blames me for getting her into it. And it's a place more for promoting now. So the addiction is pretty much over.

Now my is my new favorite thing that I'm addicted to. Because you have to actually write about things that are important to you or if something interesting, good or bad happens your like and people who look at your page HAVE to read it unlike myspace. And then you can even make money off of it too. I've been on here so much I've been missing my favorite reruns. Sorry Law&Order SVU, L&O CI, L&O..

One thing I do find funny though, is that when you leave comments on someones page they write you back but on there OWN comment page. Hmm isn't the point of leaving a comment is for them to return one on YOUR blog? The only people that know I have a blog is my sister, and 2 friends. And they pretty much suck too at leaving comments. Sometimes they will ask me

And sometimes when people you know read your blog it's weird because if you write about them, or you sharing something that was private, or making fun of them in some way then they get mad or don't want to talk to you. So then your inclined not to write things that you really want to write about. Or what if someone you didn't want to know you had a blog finds it?

Isnt' it funny the things we get addicted to.. Oh by the way here's my daily YouTube Video. Hahaha.... no for real here it is.

Things I would like to learn...

2008-02-15T10:49:00.000-08:00

There are alot of things I would love to learn to do from scratch.

Learn how to make my little girls hair bows and it is not easy as it looks:

For it to come out like this:

Learn how to make tortillas from scratch

Learn how to bake a cream cheese cake by scratch

Or learn how to sew, iron WELL, and how to change the oil in my car.

But this one would probably be my main item to definetly learn. My little SUGARPLUM is turning 3 in may and would like to make her this kind of cake for her bday. Not that she would appreciate it just because it's a cake for her but the fact that I tried to do something extra special then just ordering a cake.

2008-02-14T09:39:00.000-08:00

There are things that my daughter does that are just the cutest. I'm just all excited and all gushy and I turn around to tell someone and no one is there..

There's my hubby who works two jobs so that I am able to stay home and spend time with our daughter. In all day I have 30 minutes to be able to try to have a conversation with him. He doesn't see all the things his daughter says or does because he is working or sleeping. I'm not complaining because he is doing his best, and that is why I suck it up and try not to complain that he could at least try to change a diaper in his lifetime, that he could put her to bed before she starts putting herself to bed, that he is able to give her a bath, that he is able to teach he spanish lullabies before she goes to school and only learns itsy bitsy spider.

I have a sister who is so busy with her 40 hr a week job, her own child, her own family she doesn't have time to chat with her SAHM, lazy, getting out of bed whenever I want, going and coming as I please and always on the computer, sister.

I can't confide in my friend of 7 years on and off, because she has her own single, b-friendless, childless, always partying life to really care less about me being married and having a kid. As much as my stories about the challenges of potty training my child, helping her have complete sentences, and teacher her manners are boring to her, are as boring to me hearing stories about her wanna-be love affairs and what her favorite bars and alcoholic beverages are.

And then there's my mom..who isn't here anymore. She would have been my sister listening to me complain about always having to pick up my hubbys pants from off the floor. She would have been my best friend listening to me have one succesful story of my child being able to dress herself. She would have been my mother who was always there for me when I needed advice on how to get my kid to eat all her food in one sitting, and she would have been a great grandmother loving my daughter so much that my child would never feel unloved.

Even though they may not be around as much as I would want them to be (because, really, I'm not selfish)they are still there for me in there own way. My hubby giving our child a piggyback ride whenever possible, my sister and I talk to each other about our ups and downs in family life, having a friend letting me reminisce of all the fun and idiotic things I did before I had a family and knowing that I will be a great mother as my mother was.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Finally life can resume...

2008-02-13T15:48:00.001-08:00

Finally the Writers Strike is over. Now I can get back to not raising my child right because now our favorite shows are coming back on yea! Not that it really wasn't somewhat of a good thing right? The strike affected your life maybe in a good way. Without our favorite shows on and remembering word for word reruns we stepped away from the tv and probably did other things we hadn't done in awhile. Caught up on reading, went out for walks, started early spring cleaning and maybe even went to bed early.

I know it will take awhile, probably in March or April, before we see any new Grey's Anatomay, Desperate Housewifes and CSI but it's ok, I can wait.

But what's funny is that there were other shows who have a good following and people didn't notice they had all new episodes. I mean it's not like GA, DH, are the only great shows. House just finished his last fresh episode last week. Cold Case had on new episodes up until 3 weeks ago. And then you have the super new episodes of Lost.

How is it that Jay Leno, David Letterman, and even Ellen Degeneres were booed by the WGA when they decided to go back on air after a couple of months, and yet there are up to date new episodes of Oprah. I haven't seen anyone boo her. Are people really that afraid of her? I wonder if the Ellen, Jay, and David writers who booed them were able to still think they could go back to work for their former bosses after dissing them in public.

"Hi, yes Ms. Degeneres, um didn't really mean to be upset at you because you decided to go back to work without me, since I am that writes your lines of 'See if the celeb can guess the word of the day,' and 'we'll be right back'. So I was wondering if I can come back to work. Hello? Hello..."

2008-02-13T12:41:00.000-08:00

Meet Max Bratman! How beautiful do they both look..aww... This week's People gives first look at Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman's 4 week old baby Max. Christina is blonde as ever, but she left the red lipstick at home for this photoshoot. He's so cute and tiny! Love it! I don't even remember my little girl at 4weeks old.

"Valentine's Day celebration early with some champagne and kissy faces at EA's Burnout Paradise last night. Heidi's new video has been mostly laughed at by pretty much everyone since it hit the internet, and of course she had to answer back to all of the negative attention. She said, "I cried myself to sleep that first night after my video came out. I just couldn't understand why people I didn't even know felt the need to be so cruel and hurtful toward me."

"Don't feel too bad for poor Heidi though — not only is the song No. 7 on iTunes, but the "starlet" already has a backup plan in the words. She's working on Heidiwood, a new collection of clothes that will be out this Spring. Can't wait to hear what LC has to say about that one. If you are one of the few fans of Heidi's music career, she's also got a new video coming our way, and according to Spencer, it will "blow people’s minds very soon." Well, it can't be any worse than her last video, right?"

I absolutly love reading..but great, great books..

When I was younger I didn't really have alot of friends so my past time was reading. In middle school we used to have field trips but to the library where they were teaching us how to find and categorized library books, afterwards we were able to choose books to read. While all the other girls were picking up like Sweet Valley High from Francine Pascal, I was reading my aged drama books. Don't get me wrong I did read alot of the fun, young adult girlie books. I have read all the whole Sweet Valley High Book Series. I will alway be a fan of the original series, not much for the spin-offs. I also read similar books to Sweet valley High... umm well it had something to do with being penpals in a all girls school. Can't remember the title, but I'm guessing it has penpal in it =)

But my two favorite books I really remember reading in the 5th grade were two drama books...For the life of my I cannot remember their titles and those are two books I would love, love to read again.

So this is what I remember from the first book:

"This young boy maybe 9 years old was in a abused family where his mother used to beat him, so they took him away and placed him with a grumpy old man. The little boy even though he was abused really was a bright boy and did everything to make the old man happy.

They would plant flowers, help him clean the house and would always obey the old man, who grew to love him and they became like grandfather and grandson. Eventually Social Services came to take the little boy away and placed him in his mother's care again because she seemed fit to take care of him again.

So with all the sadness they part and the old man goes on for a couple of weeks of course worried, hoping the little boy is safe. And for some reason, can't remember why, he starts looking for him and he finds him at his house locked in a closet and he's carrying a bag around and really calm the boy tells the old man, that his baby sister was in the bag, that his mother beat her to death and she eventually left them. He was alone in the house for almost a week. So happy ending he lives his life with the old man."

2nd book:

This young boy and his father are on a private plan and they are over a jungle somewhere exotic like the Amazons or something. Something goes wrong with the plane and they end up crashing. The pilot and his father die but the young boy survives. The book goes on to tell his story of how he has to survive in the wilderness, how to hunt fish, how to make a sleeping around, where to gather food and such. I think he was lost for a couple months until he heard a plane and they found him. But I thought this was a great survival story of a young boy.

I appreciated that many authors assumed many young adults were smart to understand and read a powerful book back then at the age of 12 or 13.

I do have to say that fantasy was my #1 choice to read.. I could only take so much drama in books at my age. One time I had read a book which they made into a movie called SURVIVING. It's about these two young adults who love each other but the girl is a 16 yr old who just attempted suicide and the 17 yr old boy is expected to be a doctor. They fall in love but their parents try to keep them seperated. They eventually commit suicide together which destroyes their families. After I read that I cried to my mom, wondering why do people do the things they do..

That was one of my fondest memories of going to my mom for answers, I cry as I write this now, because I remember she's sitting in her room and I enter and fall to my knees and place my head in her legs while I cried about the ending of the book and she caresses my head and we talk about what I just read. She was always there for me, in all of my reading escapades. I miss her so much...

whew.. ok ok I stopped crying

So anyway, recently I went to the library and was in the mood to read a really good book and I got two of them. But oh my gosh! let me tell you this was supposedly in the young adult section and I couldn't believe what I was reading. This book was suppose to be about hidden treasure but that kind of deterred from the actual story I was reading. This book had rape in it... THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE BOOK. They had.. well you get the point but I didn't even finish it. I took it back and told the library lady that this was a horrible book and it was placed it the young adult section and that they should either take it away from that category or just take it away completely. And dont get me started on the second book about trafficking sex slaves.. they could have at least warned me about it in the synopsis..

I walked away from my favorite place in the whole world that day so dissapointed..but it's ok I'll give my lover a second chance today and hope it doesn't dissapoint me again.

(Seriously what in the world is wrong with bloggers spell check!)

I don't want to work out and you can't make me...

2008-02-11T17:09:00.001-08:00

This post has seriosly taken me all day to write..

I'm reading Hand Over the Altoids blog and she mentions that her husband flat out tells her she needs to lose weight. Shocked I know! Men usually know that if you tell your wife she has to lose weight then you're going to get a beat down...

So this is how I plan to work out...

I have a Curves like 5 blocks from my house and they have all their windows covered up and it's like a secret hideaway which is good because you don't want to be working out and your cute pants you just bought are already too stretched out and falling off.

Or have you noticed that many like Bally's, 24 hour fitness and other Gyms are like right next door to a Dunken Donuts or a Subway.. My Bally's is in front of a Quiznos.. Ohhh and I swear I seen a Girl Scouts cookie stand in front of a 'Curves'. They now exactly where to market their products...Yea that's sooo wrong!

There was discussion I think like in Mississippi where they want to pass a law and make it illegal to sell fast food to fat people. Seriously, no lie..

So off the topic: If you are easily disgusted do not continue reading. If you continue you were warned...

So my pup just ate his bowl movement and then puked it up and wanted to eat it again..Is that normal?

The 80's ROCK!

2008-02-10T10:39:00.000-08:00

I am seriously having 'suppose' writer's block, or what would you call it if your really not even a writer, just someone who throws words around. These last two days I seriously have had not one single interesting thing happend. I think the most exciting comversation I had today was with my friend who tells me she wants to join Netflix so she can catch up on movies she hasn't see. Shocked, she tells me she hasn't watched all the 80's classics...

She has never seen..Dangerous Liasions, Flashdance, BabyCakes, Cry-baby, Beetlejuice, Legend and so on.. I know, I know the shock. I mean she hasn't even watched 'Braveheart'.

I was born in the 80's and man the music, the style of movies were just AWESOME! They had the great actors back then..Tom Cruise (I used to be a BIG fan) in Legend, Rainman and others. You had Tom Hanks with 'Big' and 'Turner and Hooch'. His best one had to be 'The Green Mile', always, ALWAYS makes me cry.

Even the actors that were super famous but don't come out anymore.. like Molly Ringwald...loved her in Pretty in Pink
and Sixteen Candles, Andrew Mccarthy, James Spader loved Stargate, Emilio Estevez and so on.

There was such good movies back then now it's like you have Paris Hilton's movie 'The Hottie and the Nottie', just the title blows. She executive produced the movie and it yet she's upset that practically NOBODY actually watched it.

Tonight the Grammy's are on and I think this year or all award show are rigged. Every one thinks Kanye West should win. Sure.. because SOME of his songs are good, like his song nominated Stronger not for the fact that his mother just passed away. He has been nominated eight-times and nominated countless times on MTV and has never really won. Then you have Amy Winehouse up for 6 nominations..really? I didn't think her song 'Rehab' was that great. Is it because her music is really that good and imitates her life or because of all the attention media she's had lately?"

"She makes Lindsay Lohan look cool," comedian and nomination announcer George Lopez said. He said that when they announced the Grammy Nominees..he was too funny!

These two artist are obviously going to outshine the actual greater talents..You have Rhianna with 'Umbrella', my new FAVORITE band PARAMORE and even though I'm no actual Carrie Underwood fan I do have to say her song 'Before he cheats' was VERY GOOD.

Today's songs don't have much of a good beat or heartfelt meaning! The Grammy Awards have lost many of their audiences! I don't even bother to watch the show anymore. At least they have always done one thing right and that was never nominating Britney Spears for an award.

So I have succesfully potty trained my pup.. he knows exactly where to lay his business or he will get no treat.. This was WAY easier than trying to potty train my child. She wiggles and does the rain dance and lets me know, 'pee pee'. I hurry up and take off her diaper and sit her on her little toilet to find out she's ALREADY 'pee pee'd'.. MAN!

It's a big, big world...

2008-02-08T08:11:00.000-08:00

Oh how I love Noggin. They finally have given us this channel since the 1st of January and just love it.

For awhile there my kid was just watching PBS which is nothing wrong with that, they have Clifford the big red dog, Dragon Tales, Maya and Miguel, which was one of my favorites for her to watch because they would teach English and Spanish words, and so does Sesame Street while actually watching cartoons. But then there's the other PBS shows that, ugh, irked me, they have It's a Big, Big World where these puppets are just hopping around and they are not interesting to watch at all. I know it's TV for a kid but mines didn't even watch it. And can't forget the Teletubbies, that can give you nightmares.

Then I tried the Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and Toon Disney and so on. Because I assumed they still have good cartoons on there. In the morning they did, they were bringing back old faves like The little mermaid, Chip and dale, Talespin and such. She even enjoyed The Mickey Mouse show. But I noticed in the evening they had other cartoons that were for older kids which I think are horrible no wonder the boys are all rumbuctious. Of course they would have those in the evening when school is out.

You got SpongBob SquarePants and his nasty acts like eyeballs popping out, being annoying (which give the boys and girls reason to annoy other kids and people, like their parents) they show them being money hungry and so on. Then you have Ed, Ed and Eddy, my kid never watched that show but I have to tell you I caught one episode and ewww they had one of the Ed's eating his mocos.

So now can you see why Noggin is my savior. They have educational and cute cartoons. My daughter even memorized their names.. She knows Lil Bill, Wa Wa Wubzy, Go Diego Go, again because I love that they teach them Spanish words, and as much as I hate this little girl cartoon my daughter loves her..Dora The Explorer.

Now just because my daughter knows all these cartoons doesn't mean I leave her in front of the Tv all day. When she wakes up all the tv's are off. I make her breakfast and when she's done I let her watch Cartoons for awhile since each show is only 30 minutes long.. Then she obviously gets bored and then she plays with her toys and her puppy while I clean and when I'm occasionally on the computer =) hehehe.

About to burst...

Doesn't she look beautiful! When I first seen this picture, I thought OMG! She hasn't given birth yet?! Isn't she suppose to be on bed rest or something I mean jee she's carrying two children in there!

This was from yesterday when her and Marc Anthony attended a reception to benefit UNICEF hosted by Gucci during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2008 in New York City.

© CELEBRITY BABY BLOG

What in the name of gawd is she doing wearing heels??? And not just any high heels, they are high and pointy heels. You can tell her face is all swollen and she looks extremely tired. I'm sure she's not getting too much rest. But really?.. Adding to the pain in the back by putting on heels?

Yesterday I had just watched my all time favorite movie of her's Monster In-Law that movies is sooo freaking hilarious. I think she would have made such a cute couple with Micheal Vartan he is too Yummy. Yet she married Marc Anthony that's a downgrade. And seriously, why Jennifer Garner left him for Ben Affleck is beyond me..

I also watched Mr & Mrs Smith and love that movie. Jolie is also expecting twins.. trying to see that skinny woman try to carry TWO babies just sounds painful.

© CELEBRITY BABY BLOG

And what is the deal with celeb parents having children and then days or weeks later attending galas, charities, or premiers after they just had them? And I'm not talking about normal parents who have to go back to work and leave their children with babysitters because it's neccesary.

Here you have Joel and Nicole without their 3-week old daughter. Jee already leaving her with the nanny? Yea maybe I get that they don't want papperazzi all over their daughters face but if Tom & Katie Cruise are ok with having gazillions of flashes all over Suri's face then they can suck it up and take their child with them everywhere.

© CELEBRITY BABY BLOG

And Christina Aguilera dissapoints me too. Her 3 week old baby is home and here she is out at a Best Buy signing for her new DVD. Why? She could of done that later. It's not like these artist need to be in a hurry to get back to work..From what I get Britney who hadn't worked in like 2 years was getting $740,000 in a month. Joel Madden has revenue from his cd's Nicole is making her own money from her old tv show. Christina was doing concerts so I'm sure their revenue is much higher than $740,000 a month..

When asked by Ryan Seacrest why she's out promoting so soon after the birth of her son, Christina replied,

"I'm going stir crazy in the house! It'll be a nice outing." Ummm that's pretty much what you signed up for..

Why can't these mother of their first born children not stay home?

Snowy Day...

2008-02-05T15:00:00.000-08:00

Nothing new or exciting happening today.. oh wait, I got out of my pajamas today--before noon! Yea!

It snowed so much yesterday and today that we got almost 4 inches in snow and I told my husband not to go to work today.. the roads are bad and a part of the highway is closed. Of course he doesn't listen to me and goes anyway. 45 minutes later he calls me and tells me he's only 10 minutes away from the house and he's been stuck in traffic all that time. See, what did I tell him?

It's not that I want him to miss work on purpose it's that they're many driver who think their car is invincible against the ice on the roads. A truck passed on my street that's a 25mph zone, and they drove on it at like 35 probably. You know these ones...

I get scared that he can get into an accident. Try driving in front of that big a hunk of metal with a small car...

Not my car, but you get the point

Anyway he gets off the higways and heads home..So he rested for a couple of hours then headed out to his 2nd job. My poor hubby =)

I'm going to bed early tonight because I have two appointments tomorrow all before lunch. I have one for my daughter at our clinic and at the same clinic after her appt. I have my "yearly" appt. FUN! Where they get to tell me that in one year I have lost only 2 lbs and they look me up and down and ask 'Do you have any health issues'? Well not really, our clinic has really nice staff, except not counting my old doctor, ohhh bitch! Other than that they take forever to call your name but they realise that and apologize, but I also notice that they do talk alot of time in answering question and they don't rush you, which I appreciate.

So my choice of shows tonite while I lay in bed is SciFi Channels: Scary…but True. "It presents real-life ghostly encounters of young people across the globe, whose convincing evidence confirms that scary things don't just happen to adults!" Because I love freaking myself out! And then after that I'm going to watch Linda Blair: Scariest places on earth "A trip to some of the most haunted locations on the planet." Love it! With a cup of hot cocoas, can't wait..

(For some reason my spell check hasn't been working for the past week.. hmm well I hope I spelled everthing right, 'cause, i cane speel, u now..)

Your kids ass is going to get a beat down if you do this...

2008-02-04T10:28:00.000-08:00

This is what you get when you want to be unique and name your child something outrageous.

This is the story of Food Networks new chef Jamie Oliver, from what I understand (because I haven't really watched his show) he has a lisp.

"The celeb chef phoned up the Womb Raider to tell her how pukka her new film Beowulf is, (This was in November) and he politely asked after her daughter but was unable to get his chops around the name and made an unfortunate Spoonerism instead. He, by accident, called her daughter Piloh Sh*t instead of Shiloh Pitt. The mortified chef has sent the actress a dessert made with her fave food, Cheerios cereal, as a tasty apology."

I blame the parents. I mean really when I first heard her name 'Shiloh' I immediately though of the Disney Movie with the tag, "Inspirational Story About Boy And His Dog.." hehehe how horrid.

I mean,really, there are 50 crazy celebrity baby names... 50! That's a long list of children doomed to playground ridicule by their celebrity parents.

You know them from VH1's reality show Katie + Peter. They have named their daughter Princess Tiaamii.

Shannyn Sossamon
You know her from A Knights Tale and she was also in The Order. Both movies she starred in with Heath Ledger. She has named her son Audio Science

Yes this really is Geri Halliwell
Bluebell Madonna

Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw: Destry:

Nicholas Cage Kal-El Coppola

Sting and Frances Tomelty: Fuchsia

Sean Penn and Robin Wright: Hopper

Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza: Jermajesty

Elle Macpherson and Arpad Busson: Aurelius Cy

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni: Kyd

Have you ever been so drunk that you totally space on things you did? Then you wake up the next morning and you wonder "Did that really happened?"

Well my night wasn't that interesting and I wasn't drunk. I was tired drunk. These last few days I have been waking up at 6:30am and going to bed @ 12:45am.. (yes my hubby works 17 hr days.) And since I'm at Stay at home mom, and really don't do much, you know besideds raising our child, washing dishes, laundry, and cleaning.. really that's nothing compared to working in two restaurants like he does. So I feel bad if I take naps and just lounge all day in front of the computer.

So yesterday I stayed awake all day like always..but at 1145pm I was getting tired my eyes were drooping while reading someones blog about how she got an STD from a Senator.. yea as much as that sounds exciting, I couldn't keep my eyes open.

My daughter is already sleeping, so is my little rat so I decide to turn of the computer and go lay down and watch tv while waiting for my hubby to get home. Which is in about 45 minutes. I'm watching Without a Trace and it goes to a commercial and I snuggle in more in my warm blankets and close my eyes for a minute and then next thing I know I'm hearing my cell phone ring. At this point I have felt I have only fallen asleep for maybe 10 minutes and I'm totally out of it.

"Hello?"

He says the doors locked and I'm thinking "oh he's just getting home" I open the door and he glares at me and say's I've been calling you, on the cell, (which I had on volume 1) On the house phone (Which I had on 'Do Not Disturb' and I rang the door bell Which I promise you, I did not hear. I have been standing out there for 30 minutes! Wow was it really that long?!

ooops....

So he stomps off, doesn't talk to me, lays down in bed and goes to sleep. I wake up this morning not really sure if that did happen last night, until he wakes up and says "You really didn't hear the door bell?"

Fashion Week..

2008-02-02T06:31:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was NATIONAL RED DAY. "Every year on the first of Friday in February, people all around the country wear red to raise awareness of women's heart disease." At Fashion Week Jenna Fischer, Sara Ramirez, Heidi Klum and others walked the catwalk at the Heart of Truth Red Dress Collection Fashion show.

How pretty does Sara Ramirez look!

I'm not really into Fashion Week because they always come out with clothes you can't wear or afford...Like what normal person would wear this...

But some "designers" like Jennifer Lopez's JUSTSWEET or SWEETFACE are cute and pretty affordable or Puff Daddy's, wait, P Diddy, no, Diddy, that's not right, oh yea, SEAN JOHN clothing line are much better for everday wears and also more affordable.

SweetFace

Sean Jean

sigh If I wasn't on a "doctor regulated diet" I soo would wear that! <-- haha! Man I crack myself up! This is what happens when you don't have friends and your kid would rather watch Wa Wa Wubzy than spend time with you!

Handbag galore...

2008-02-01T08:51:00.000-08:00

This morning is one of the few times I actually wake up before my normal time of 8am, yes I know I'm lazy, and I send my hubby off to work with a kiss and a lasting impression of me.. hahaha right..
The last look is with my hair all wild with eye crusties.

I watch him get to his car and drive off and I notice kids already walking to school( I live in front of a middle school) and I notice this girl totting around a Juicy Couture handbag! Similar to this one...

Which runs about $145. This purse for this price has
• Gold-tone hardware.
• Buckle shoulder strap with rings.
• Zip top with leather loop pull tab.
• Gathered front with tan "Juicy Couture" embroidery.
• Red/green strawberry accent.
• Includes three attached charms (shown left to right): Beaded leather cord, gold-tone crown crest charm, and faux-pearl charm.
JUICY COUTURE.

Ok whatever but for a tween to have it must either indicate she's a spoiled brat, her mommy and daddy really don't pay much attention to her so they buy her stuff to make up for it, has an older sister, which I doubt would even let her touch it or... well that's all the reasons I can come up for her hauling that purse around.

I'm all for my daughter having up to date clothes and the occasional brand name but when your that age I think it's already giving them the impression that you have to have name brands or your not cool.

Well anyway.. I love all of Juicy's purses..but they are way expensive, my substitue is KATHY VAN ZEELAND. Ok on her website and at Macy's they are expensive but sometimes (and probably everyone knows this) if you go to Ross they usually end up carrying the same purses at half the price.. which I did not think about at the time of my purchase of my beautiful bag. It was the only one at Macy's and you know how it goes, if you don't buy it now then it wont be there later..

all this fits in it..

My Planner
notebook
marker
camera (case)
ID Case
Not sure why I carry this around..
I just hold like cash or coupons
And my beautiful phone! Luv it!

How cool is this:

Go to MAGMYPIC upload your pics and 'Viola' your on a Mag cover! I found this at HONEYSINLOVE while blog hopping.

Yesterday in the morning and afternoon it was such a pretty day, then around 5pm, boom, it starts snowing like crazy. It stopped after 3 hours but for those 3 hours I think it snowed 3-4 inches worth. You couldn't see anything...

And this is how pretty it looks after the storm passed..

While that was happening outside, this was happening inside.. Karla is at the point where she pretty much wants to dress herself, most of the time she gets it right but she still has a bit of trouble sometimes..

Awhile back I wrote about how many mom bloggers don't return comments, but let me tell you after reading a couple of twenty something bloggers and reading their comments I prefer to go with the no comments.. I was reading a post about this 1st girl dealing with rude comments. The 2nd girl wrote how boring 1st girls blog was, that she was whiny and selfish and so on..
Ex: "I'm not going to sugarcoat this. I have been reading your blog for a while, and have come to the conclusion you are boring, needy and insecure. You say yourself, that you need more girlfriends. You should go make some, because otherwise you are putting way too much into a relationship that is probably going to fail anyways."

Yea, so I'm thinking ok this is 1st girls blog, she pretty much is writing down feelings, thoughts, experiances and so on, for herself and to share with others. Yet 2nd girls is so tired of reading her "boring" blog, (but of course she continues to read it) to the point of writing a very long rude comment.

I have read blogs which are boring to me or just like "WTF", and I don’t ever feel the need to publicly tear another blogger down for being who they are. And I assumed everyone had left all that high school drama when they graduated into adulthood.

2008-01-28T21:57:00.001-08:00

So it's been pretty quite around here, nothing new or exciting. Still washing the same dishes, changing diapers, and getting fatter. Karla and I did go downtown yesterday to get some fresh air and it was fun because we took the bus to our train station. It was a fun experience for her because she hadn't gotten on the bus or train before..

What a day...

2008-01-26T06:15:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I went to the clinic to get my Depo Shot, now I was one day late I was suppose to get it on Thursday. So this is how my day goes to get my shot and dragging a sleepy 2 1/2 yr old with me...

My apt. is at 11:00a but I leave at 10:10a because it's difficult to find any parking. I get there and of course there was lots of parking. But which is good because they might call me earlier and then I can go home earlier. 10:30a Is the time I finish checking in.

Karla starts acting up.. flinging her purse and bear at the ceiling. She will not sit down and is running everywhere. I take her outside for a "talking" to. 45 Min's in a nurse finally calls me to get the basics, blood pressure, weight, height and medical problems but this time no pee test. Now I'm suppose to go into the Dr. office to get a shot that doesn't take more than 5 minutes but she tells me there are no available rooms to wait in the waiting room again.

It's 11:20 Karla is so sleepy she lays on the floor and ends up going to sleep..So I'm trying to keep her awake and nothing works. She's literally snoring there on the waiting area's floor. At 11:40a they finally call me in to the Dr's Office and Karla is still sleeping on the floor (yes I left her there on the floor) so I have to pick her up and haul her over my shoulder, still sleeping.

5 minutes later The Dr. finally comes in and she's like "oh you were suppose to come in yesterday, when did you last have intercourse?" I said "Some days ago"..she then totally freaks, she makes me do a pee test. I literally have to put Karla on the bathroom floor because she will not wake up, gross I know, I know. I do my business and go around in circles because I cannot find the damn lab to leave my pee that I've been carrying around along with a 40 lb kid on my should, carrying her toys and my purse around. So, yes I was getting a little pissed.

Finally I get back to the room and I lay Karla on top of the bed so that I don't have to be carrying her and she at least can feel like she's asleep on a bed. The Dr finally arrives and tells me there is a problem... crap... I 'm thinking "I'm pregnant."

Dr: Well because you were suppose to come in yesterday and you didn't your Depo stopped yesterday."

Me: Well I was told if I missed One Day it would be OK because I still had one extra week. And anyways how does the Depo just 'stop'?

Dr: It just stops, now because sperm lives in the body for 5 days after intercourse i think it's best that you take the 'Day after pill'

Me: But it's been ONE DAY it's not like I didn't come in a week later it's one day. *thinking to myself* anytime you want to get off a Birth control they say that it's at least 2 weeks to a month for your body to get accustomed to not being on Birth Control and to be able to get pregnant..so in one day would my ovaries start releasing eggs so quickly for me to get pregnant again.. So by now she's freaking me out and I'm like

Me: fine OK, give me the pills.. So I have the receipt to take so that I can get that prescription and I stay in line another 10 Min's just to hand over that paper, and then tells me it's going to take an hour for me to get my pills..Man! Seriously..Seriously?! So finally I end up leaving there around 2:30 p and Karla finally wakes up, and now I'm tired and ready for my nap..

My hubby took me too watch I am Legend and I absolutely loved it! It was a great exciting movie but it was also so sad.. I will definitely buy it when it comes out on DVD..Will Smith was great in that movie. He is such a talented actor, so fine and those abs's, lordy..

Uh Uh.. Not cool...

2008-01-24T14:18:00.000-08:00

Now I have noticed that many 'MOM' bloggers on here are pretty mean. I'll read many 'MOM' blogs and I'll comment on their funny, smart or infomative posts and I don't get a response back.. especially with them waving their 'You comment, I'll follow' icon around. Just because I'm not in my 30's and not bearing more than one kid, or that my blog is too colorful, or not on your link list doesn't mean that I can't get the same respect and some kind of acknowledgment that I have shown to you because I have stopped by YOUR page and took the time to read it and comment on it.

I don't want to clean and you can't make me!

2008-01-24T08:46:00.000-08:00

I am just sitting here because I'm dreading cleaning my kitchen and my bedroom. It looks like a damn tornado went through both. My husband and daughter are seriously just trying my patience. He makes a mess and leaves it for me to clean and I'll tell her not to make a mess and that's the first thing she does..
sigh

Yesterday was pretty uneventful that nothing was bloggable. Yesterday was one of the few days my husband has the morning off so we went to visit his parents.

I like his parents but his mother just annoys me. All she ever talks about is money. She gets mad because her sons don't give her money, and then when they do, she gets upset because it wasn't enough money. I still say the day was uneventful because they never talk to me. They share stories from back home that just BORE me. I understand he hasn't seen his parents in 8 years but come on. Who cares what the neighbors did in there yard! Or if that drugstore is still around the corner.

So I literally just ignored their conversations while I watched my daughter help her grandma make tortillas.

When we tell her to look at the camera and smile she comes up with this silly faces.Jee it's kinda of an ugly picture.

Stars who sadly have passed...

2008-01-22T14:23:00.000-08:00

Everyone by now has probably heard that Heath Ledger has passed away today.

"Police say the death may be drug-related. The NYPD spokesman tells AP that Ledger had a massage appointment at his Soho apartment. When the housekeeper went to alert Ledger the masseuse was there, she found him at around 3:26 p.m. His body was found face down on the bedroom floor. There is no visible signs of any trauma. He was pronounced dead at 3:45 p.m. Heath Ledger's autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

Ledger was last spotted publicly in London on Saturday on the set of Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Photos show Ledger wearing a clown costume. Other pictures of Ledger out of costume show him with long brown hair and a dark goatee.

The Perth, Australia, native was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for 2005's Brokeback Mountain, on whose set he met – and began a romantic relationship with – Michelle Williams. Theirs was described by others on the film as love at first sight.

Their daughter, Matilda Rose, was born in New York on Oct. 28, 2005. Ledger and Williams, who shared a brownstone together in Brooklyn, split in September 2007."

*Reporting now that Heath Ledger was sick with pneumonia when he died today in NY.

Such a sad time for Michelle and his young daughter.
PEOPLE.COM

TMZ reports
Michelle Williams is "devastated" by the death of her former fiance, Heath Ledger.

We're told that "words cannot describe" the pain she is in over the news about the father of her child, Matilda Rose.

We're told she is on a plane heading to NY right now.

Also exactly a week ago Brad Renfro the 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home and sadly similar to Heath ledger, by drugs. Renfro had a history of drug abuse.

Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, "The Informers," just wrapped.

Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we're told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

AP reports: "Hundreds of mourners turned out Monday to bid a final farewell to Brad Renfro. The former child star was remembered at a funeral service in Knoxville, Tennessee, before which his family accepted condolences from some 600 well-wishers at a local mortuary.

In a surprise twist, Renfro's family revealed in an obituary placed in the 'Sentinel' that the actor was survivied by a young son, whom they referred to only as 'Y Renfro' in the announcment in order to protect his identity.

Renfro's father and stepmom told TMZ that the boy lives with his mother in Japan and that Renfro spent time with his son before his death.

E! News has learned exclusively that new parents Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman held a bris, the Hebrew baby naming and circumcision ritual ceremony, at their Beverly Hills home Sunday.

More than a dozen family and friends attended the gathering. Jewish rituals aren't new to the Bratman family. In 2005, the couple wed in a Jewish ceremony in Napa Valley, California.

A bris is typically done on a baby's eighth day of life, and sure enough, son Max Liron was born Jan. 12. He came home from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier this week.

The ceremony formalizes the child's name; his middle name, Liron, means "my song" in Hebrew.

It seems as if Ms Audrina has a new boy toy named Bernard and they have been dating for two months now, and from the side of him he looks pretty yummy!

Ahhh the best boy band EVER!!
I have been a fan of theirs since '99 and I have met cool people through being an obsessed fan of theirs in my senior year of high school. I have gone to 4 concerts and one of those concerts I went with an N'Suck groupie. It was awesome to hear her sing along to the Backstreet Boys songs. It's kinda sad to not see them out in the spotlight like they used to be, only crappy songs like 'Smack that', or ear screeching songs from Britney Spears songs are being heard.

Their new album came out in December and the big differance is that Kevin, My Lover, isn't there because he's off having children with his wife =( This album has lots of great songs. Here is there new single..

What a Headache...

2008-01-19T20:30:00.000-08:00

Today I had to get Spanky's shots, and I was dreading it.. He knows he's going to the vet when I stick him in his kennel, he starts whining and crying like my 2 year old when she wants and can't have a .

We get there and I'm telling Karla to sit down, sit down and sit down.. because she could be running around or playing and a dog could come out of the vets office unhappy that for the umpteenth time that thermometer went up his a$$ and may not be in such a good mood, and then I remember, damn, I forgot Karla's monkey harness.. and I remember that too when I see this dog coming in who had this crazy, wild look on his face and he had no harness or muzzle and the next thing I see is Karla running up to him wanting to pet him.. and wow did I freak... I grabbed her and swept her up from the floor while holding a 5lb rat, a huge purse, and my fill in sheets.

She's crying and throwing a hissy fit while I literally hold her down until that damn lady left with her dog.. So all the vet's asst's are looking at me like If I'm a bad mom because Karla is balling her little eyes out wanting to get up and I'm telling her no and holding her down until the vet can see us..

Now it's our turn to be seen and I tell her to give me her hand, and she is not budging and I don't have time to wait for her or the patience to have all the people stare at me while my child defies me in public..So I grab her jacket by the arm and I'm dragging Karla so that she'll follow us. The lady closes my door cause i guess she thinks I'm going to beat the crap out of my kid.. a second later the nurse comes in with a book and a box full of crayons.. and she looks at me like she's scared..(I promise I'm not making this up) and says, 'um is it OK if she has crayons?', like I'm going to tell her no to something that might shut up my kid. So we're in there and she's still slowly crying her little heart out and she comes up to me after a while and says ..."Sorry mommy.." awww man, now I can't stay mad at her and threaten to take away her crayons if she keeps acting up.. well in all for the 30 minutes we where there, it gave me a pretty big headache .. So I'm off to bed to dream about Cujo

Anybody for an Amaretto Sourball?

2008-01-17T06:11:00.000-08:00

I remember those days when after work me and my friends (A, Victoria, and myself, you remember A? hehehe) would go out to the "bars/clubs" and have so much fun experimenting on different drinks. We were newbies to all cocktails, long cocktails, and shots.. I think "A" had a Chocolate Martini and almost hurled. I had a Long Island Iced Tea and and I don't remember drinking the second one! Some were good, some were ~~bad.~~

One time we went to this one club.. at 4 in the afternoon for Happy Hour man can't remember the name of that place...and we kept ordering the same drink, I think it was just cocktails and the waitress lets us know we should try ordering something else, and by then we were already somewhat plastered and offering us more drinks, she did her job well, she brings us a glass full halfway with OJ and a tequila shot.. she then tells us to drop the tequila shot inside the OJ.. and we did and drank it right away and loved it.. For some reason the name Tequila Sunrise comes to mind but I notice in that drink grenadine syrup is added and we didn't have any of that...Nope it was a Tequila Screwdriver. That day was the funnest we had in that summer, we went bar hopping (which "A" swore she'd never do) and I got soooo drunk I can't remember how we got home..we actually went our separate ways, which of course was reckless.."A" took a cab to my house were she left her car, and me and Victoria caught up with one of her exes and took me home.. so it was insane but fun..

One time at a strip club, they are hilarious, they were offering us shot's of Melon Balls and I'm not sure but I think we even had a Fuzzy Nipple... sigh the good ol' days. Now it's like water, the occasional Corona cause if I drink too much I won't be able to hear my kid if she wakes up in the middle of the night. And that's a bad mommy!

Today we took Karla to our mall where they have a section where children can just run around and knock themselves out. Karla and I had been couped up in here for such a long time we needed to get fresh air and make sure we could still communicate with the outside world.

All Movies...

2008-01-15T08:40:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend I watched the movie Death Sentence with my favorite actor Kevin Bacon.
He played a father out for revenge after his family is attacked in a gang-initiation crime.

I mean the guy went up to Kevin Bacon's characters son and slit his throat with a machete, so he pretty much kills every person involved in the crime. Which I though was so cool becaues he shaved his head and changed his persona from the father figure that he was. And my fave co-characater John Goodman was in it.. He's so awesome!

This movie was supposedly "an adaptation of the novel by Brian Garfield", where he did those Death Wish movies with Charles Bronson (that I absolutely DID NOT like). But overall the movie was good but seemed like a made for tv kind of movie..but of course without the machete scene.. I didn't feel it...

I also watched Dead Silence, Yes, yes I'm behind in watching some of these movies, but thank goodness I didn't pay to watch ~~this~~ one in the theatre.. they just don't make great scary movies anymore..oh wait the dummy did freak me out a bit..The story is this murdered ventriloquist all of a sudden comes back to life to exact revenge on people who's great, great, great granfather killed her.. so see, I don't know.. my husband fell asleep on it and the supposed scary parts didn't even wake my 2 year old.

Now The Ring is on my top list as the scariest.. that's a good one..

Bad, Bad scary movies:
30 day's of Night..My gawd.. that movie sucked
Stay Alive..you know the one where the video game kills you.. yea
Pulse.. all the technology is out to get us..
White Noise is comme ci, comme ca
The Ring 2.. She just wont stay dead

These are upcoming films that look interesting to watch
I just saw this preview yesterday and kinda reminds me of Stomp but just with a girl... Oh well, I'll give it a try..

Untraceable looks really good too. With Diane Lane and Colin Hanks.
I think he's cute, it's good to see that he's grown to better movies and left his Orange County movie days behind him.

So I guess I'm a bit behind on this news but I just READ, that In December of 2007, rumors began that Kat Von D was pregnant. There was a picture on the internet, which I have yet to find showing Kat with a larger lower stomach, and by the promos for the new season of L.A. Ink where she says that she's pregnant.

A January 2008 episode said she was joking, and the promo had taken the statement out of context. Kat denied that she miscarried her child. With her admitted drug and alcohol use the tabloids were speculating that her loss may have some truth.

She just built her own business and she seems to be too much of a party girl to have kids..

Watch her Season 2 Promo HERE

I have nothing else to bitch or yap about so I'll just post up some funny pics =)

Going nowhere.

Hmmmm

So Mrs Lopez-Anthony has been in hiding for awhile, probably dealing with swollen feet with that huge bump of hers, but she's not missing from recent articles in magazines. In this weeks UK Cosmopolitan, she talks about her growing family and she calls herself the Queen of Mistakes.

Mrs Bratman welcomed a little baby boy Friday afternoon..I'm kinda imagining her pretty eyes and his ugly chin..

I think it was weird that she had actually scheduled a C-Section.. I mean how insane is that, too know exactly which day they are going to take your baby out. And that's not even the fun part of being a mother. What happened to waiting to have the labor pains to really feel your child wanting to come out? Ok maybe too much for the celebs but what about us normal moms who have to wait 2 or even 3 weeks after the baby's due date to wait to schedule a C-section. And that's because the DR. give you the appt. Hmm I dont' think that really is doing the whole having a child thing.

It's kinda hard to imagine Christina as a mom because she seems to I don't know, to self absorbed.. don't get me wrong I love her music and she's a great singer but sometimes as a person it's like 'what she said that'..

And then this person had a child..
↓

A little girl named Harlow Winter Kate Madden. At the same hospital (Cedar Sinai Hospital,) where Britney was admitted. If I was rich and famous I would of had my child in Italy, Paris, or even Spain how cool would that be.. But noooo they all flock to Los Angeles and everyone goes to the same hospital...Now I hope a child can really change her attitude towards life.. And I hope she can deal with a child because she couldn't even deal with her own self..

She had said in a Diane Sawyer interview "I have a responsibility now for someone else, I have to set the right example, I would really want to be someone my child would look up to."

Other Celebs who had their bundle of joys
On Tuesday, Stella McCartney had her third child, a baby boy named Beckett Robert Lee.

Courtney Thorne-Smith had her first child, a baby boy, named Jacob Emerson Fishman on Friday, and again she also had her child at ~~Cedars~~

David Alan Grier's wife, Christine Kim, also had their first child.

Toni Collette had her first child with husband Dave Galafassi in Sydney on Wednesday.

Start of a New day...

2008-01-10T10:20:00.000-08:00

So I was thinking since my last post that I really should keep my appearance up. Now when I was single I used to always have my made face.. and it's always true what they say that when your married, you let yourself go...sigh... sadly I have..But now with the game face I've decided it's time for a change..

1st for my daughter so that I can look decent when I'm with my child in public, because I dress her up so pretty and I'm in my PJ's and my hairs still in a ponytail, and I still look like that when my husband comes home from work...

2nd I plan on losing weight for my child, myself and so that my husband doesn't leave me because I can't be on top anymore..

3rd I plan on always keeping myself kept up.. Make up, hair done, actual clothes worn when he gets home not pj's..

All this while keeping my house clean, dishes washed, laundry washed, taking care of a rambunctious 2 yr old and a crapping and peeing in the house trained pup..

But now it seems as If I have let my make up down too.. I only own currently I eyeshadow brush, 1 blush brush, 1 eyeshadow, 1 glitter eyeshadow and 1 eyeliner... So sad..

Then yesterday we had an event to go to and... gasp... I have forgotten how to apply eyeshadow. So I do the best I can and I was constantly looking in the mirror making sure I didn't look horrible and embarrass my husband. Then get home and totally feel bummed I couldn't even do that right so I'm just checking out sites and videos (Youtube) just to see if they have any ideas of how to relearn to apply makeup.. And I found this AWESOME woman who does great eyes.. Take a look..
↓

So there I go off to the Non M.A.C store and stock up my make up case.. Oh and since I'm buying all new brushes I'd thought I'd add a video on how to keep your brushed clean without spreading germs and having to buy all new ones =)

And how to make your own brush cleanser ↓

Up's and down's of Makeup...

2008-01-08T07:56:00.000-08:00

It's just one of those days for these celebs without makeup..

I'm a stay at home mom, sometimes when I need to run errands or go to the playground, I'm hardly made up.. But I know I should at least try for myself, to have more confidence and so that when my husband can come home to at least a decent face.

← Now look at all this make up that we have to put on and we still don't look halfway near as perfect (yes, yes, I know they have professionals to do it) as Eva or even Christina.. Oh well as long as seeing them without makeup makes me feel better. Maybe they can gain 50 lbs and that would definitely be an added bonus and make my day..

And then there will be days that I haven't used makeup in a long time and I'll forget I'll have it on and there you see me rubbing my eyes and then noticing black eyeliner all over my hand..so there I go walking/running to the bathroom with a buggy full of groceries trying to use water to clean my water proof eyeliner smudges, and now It looks like someone beat the crap out of my eye..*sigh*

Tip of the Day
I don't know how many times I told my kid to stop playing with her gum today and she still did it. And surprise surprise she got it stuck in her hair. So I looked up what was the best way to get it out and it was to put peanut butter in her hair and it will help loosen the gum up, then shampoo as usual. So I did and she had such a fit that I was adding peanut butter to her hair, I'm sure after I just yelled at her to stop playing with her gum. But after her bath she got sleepy and is currently taking a nap.. 'ahh'..
*NOTE Do not use if your child has a peanut allergy*

In other news

Last week the rumors about Milo and Hayden got hotter and more legitimate, but for those of you who needed to see it to believe it, here is something for you to feast your eyes on.

The Heroes co-stars were very clearly holding hands at the movies in LA. Not exactly make out status, but definitely enough evidence to determine their relationship (in case you needed more). Milo looks pretty hot.

For more pictures click HERE

Now that they are a couple everybody has to be talking about there age difference..nobody was saying anything when they were keeping quiet about their romance and now they just always have to start stuff up..jeez

Sunday Night TV...

What I am drinking: Lemonade water
What I'm watching: Karla chase Spanky
What I'm Listening to: Last Night By Diddy and Keisha Cole

Love how they dance to Diddy's Song:
↓

So yea! Desperate Housewives came out with their new episode. Kinda had to cut Shrek off early, cause I couldn't find the other remote for the living room . Karla understood, as soon as I gave her a kiss and a hug...hehehe, right, actually this did the trick → .
This episode was, like always, so funny and I Loved it...

How about when Lynette decides to empty the urn and replace it with vacuum dirt?
Or Orson knowing Andrew has a mesh top that would make anyone jealous?
And OMG Carlos blind?

Well I was excited and glued to my . I didn't see any previews for a new DH so I'm guessing their all out.

Well hopefully this Writers Strike doesn't go on much longer because it's NOT FAIR.

Food for thought...

What I'm watching: Guys Big Bite

So he is making a Cedar Plank Salmon (Just the name sounds expensive) and Guid-Moc-Shoe. The Guid-Moc-Shoe you have to use all this ingredients

↓
3 fresh corn on the cob, preferably white, with husk
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/4 pound bacon, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1/2 jalapeno, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white wine
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Roma tomatoes, diced

just to throw some vegetables together.. I get that the point is to make vegetables more desirable to eat but come on.. I only have my husband, my daughter and myself to feed, do I really need to use 2 WHOLE onions and white wine?

This is all on the Food Network.. Now I like cooking and making great recipes but some of these recipes are like for special occasions or to feed 4-6 people. I think they need to add more budget friendly recipes.

Deserts is another thing, I would love to make cheesecakes or, chocolate cakes from scratch but I can barely make cupcakes out of the box to taste good.

But I guess I better learn it the Healthy way... Great Ex. of how food can be a good thing if you know how to eat it right..

Teresa Williams
Age: 27
Occupation: Medical assistant
Starting Weight: 310 lbs.
Why She Wanted to Lose the Pounds:

"I was sick of being 25 years old, huffing and puffing," says Williams, who lives in Burbank, Calif. "[I couldn't] even go up a flight of stairs without stopping to breathe. I hated shopping – I was a size 24. I wanted to have kids, I wanted to have a family. I wanted to live."

Weight Today: 150 lbs.!

"It's being able to do simple things that mean the most to me," says Williams, who loved swing sets as a child.

By her late teens, however, "my hips and thighs were too wide to swing without the metal part jabbing into my thighs." Now that she's lost 160 lbs., Williams says, "I'm like a little kid [at the playground!]

Amanda White
Age: 37
Occupation: Insurance Agent
Starting Weight: 335 lbs.
Why She Wanted to Lose Weight:

"One day I was coming up the stairs to my apartment," says White, who moved from Sri Lanka to the U.S. eight years ago, "I sat down on the couch, out of breath and I said to myself, 'Why are you doing this to yourself, Amanda?' There were nights when I was sleeping and I'd get up and pray, 'God, please don't kill me while I'm sleeping. Let me wake up in the morning for my little girl.'"

Weight Today: 145 lbs.!

After losing the weight, her daughter Simona, 13, told her, "I don't want to hurt you, but when you were fat, I couldn't put my arms around you to hug you." Says White: "That touched my heart so much. I did this for my daughter – but I wanted it for me."

So Sad...

2008-01-04T08:09:00.000-08:00

It seems that yesterday was one of Britney's scheduled visits, that when her time to return them was overdue Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden for almost three hours refusing to hand him over to Kevin.
One of Kevin's bodyguards already had put Preston in the car. When the police arrived and entered her closed gate home, they say she was under the influence of an unknown substance...

Don't they get it..this poor woman has and always had Postpartum Depression. ← (READ ABOUT IT). With every ones jokes, everyone in her face demeaning her or her ability to parent are mean comments that can always probably heighten her depression. And with the little support from family and the type of friends she had only made it worse.

For gods sake they even took her to the Medical Center, where they say she will be on a minimum of a 72-hour lock down for mental evaluation. It had never to do with drugs or alcohol. Why couldn't anyone just ever once think she had it? It's not a hush hush problem. So to not give it a name everone just assumes she's out of control, a druggie or an alcoholic? Are those better terms than to admit a celebrity (who's still a human being and a mother) has an actual illness?

Didn't her crazy behaviour start after her children were born? And articles like 'Britney said her kids were a mistake' is just horrible to say and I think all the MEDIA are also to blame for her recent actions and emotions.

I am a mother and I thank God that I didn't have to deal with this illness. But what everyone is doing to that poor woman is not fair and it's not right. You don't play with that illness and yet there is a camera on her face 24/7, with all those lights flashing at her face. Yea everyone says she's asking for it, because she's famous and everyone wants to know her life, but she's still a human being, leave her alone, I doubt there are still many fans who want to know when she went to taco bell or what party she went to for Halloween.

And don't get me started on Kevin Federline's lawyer!! OK I get she's sick but to ALWAYS be in a rush to take her kids away, to attempt to strip Spears of her visitation rights is just a bit over zealous. Where is all the law enforcement, where are the therapist, psychologist, or social worker to let her know about her problem or let the courts know? NOW they want to take her to the hospital for evaluation?

And no one is taking it serious..Just look at these idiots.

Fame Whores Crash Brit's Ambulance Ride

"The so-called Bandarazzi tried to make the best of Brit's disastrous evening -- by rocking out in front of Spears' ambulance --"
Watch the video HERE

Or this douche

"Bobby Trendy said he was holding a "visual" for Britney. Carrying a pic of Brit in his hands, while his associate held a photo of Anna Nicole, Trendy said they "don't want Britney to end up like the late Anna Nicole Smith."
Watch the video HERE

Other mothers are only on the news after they have harmed themselves or their children. For Britney being so famous she's already in the news and no one is helping. The news media the paparazzi, magazine editors and everyone has a part in making Britney's life spiral down. They are playing with someones who is already unstable..slowly all the media, ex husband, family members, so called friends, along with her illness is pushing her over the edge, and eventually everyone will have a hand in her self destruction and be somewhat at fault in her or her children's death.

Remakes...

2008-01-03T12:12:00.003-08:00

What I'm listening too: Daddy Yankee 'Impacto'

What I'm watching: In a minute: Rachel Ray 30 minute meals

© Vanity Fair
"Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull"
This movie, though I haven't seen the actual trailer looks fun. First because I have loved (1 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ) movie. 2nd Shia is in it.

It's so funny to see the old movie who've made in impact in any movie lovers collection be made into 4th or 5th sequels after their time..there is Indiana

and this one...

↓

Live Hard Die Free.
Which I did actually like

Or how about remakes..Some are better than the original

and then there are the ones they should have been left alone..

And of course there's One Missed Call being remade, It kinda does look a little better than the original.

And for heavens sake I hear they are going to remake my favorite movie of all time (which by the way someone still has to watch) FootLoose, with ugh ~~Zac Efron~~ as Ren... NOOOOOOOOOO!! Who was the idiot that thought this up? Doesn't he, like, sqweak or something. Wait, so he has been in TWO musicals..OMG what if they actually make this one into a musical too..

Kevin Bacon was so hott in that movie, and he dances oh so yummy! And even Kenny Loggins was my favorite music artist at the time.. Who can forget the soundtrack also for TopGun: Danger Zone.

Pink Eye...

2008-01-02T16:59:00.000-08:00

What I'm listening to: My Child crying

What I'm watching: Law and Order: Criminal Intent

Feeling:

Today we take Karla to the Pediatric Urgent Care Clinic because I've noticed her eye is swollen and her tugging at her ear. We are seen by a doctor who just looks pissed about having to work today. She walks in looks at her chart and says 'So, she has a cold.' Like saying 'That's why you're here?'

I normally don't take her to the hospital if I know it's just a regular cold. I go when I'm really concerned it's more. Come on, I see white gunk in the corner of her eye and she's tugging at her ear, I have to make sure she's OK.

She examines her and we ask her questions and she answerer's them flatly. She then tells us 'OK your daughter has pink eye and an ear infection', then walks out to give us our prescription and discharge papers. She doesn't ask us if we have any questions or is there anything else I can help with, nothing. She then says that toddlers never let the medicine (which is eye drops) near their eyes and that it will clear on it's own..Whether I give her the medicine or not.

So if we don't necessarily need it then why give it to us? She then tells us not to give her any cold medicine because it wont work, let the cold run it's course. I get that the medicine doesn't speed up her cold or take it away, but doesn't it help to make her feel a little better? Maybe to stop her runny nose even for an hour or to calm her itchy throat?

She also let us know that if this persists after 2 weeks to go to our own clinic to be checked up by her own doctor, in that flat voice of hers.. meaning don't come back to the hospital with just this cold.

So my experience at the hospital was not a good one and I'm very disappointed in this Pediatric doctor who should have a little more sympathy for sick children.

Happy New Year...

2008-01-01T09:34:00.000-08:00

What I'm Listening to: Nothing right now..

What I'm watching: Lilo and Stitch Marathon

Well another year has come and gone.. And January 1st is almost over.. I did nothing today but sit around and watch marathons of show's i've already watched. My daughter played with her dog and bike and my husband worked all day. So today was like any other day..Just in '08

Milo And Hayden go public- Sort of...

Back in September, rumor spread like wildfire that Heroes co-stars Hayden and Milo were looking awfully close, and most of you agreed that they were probably a couple. After a few months of deny, deny, denying the rumors, we thought maybe we had all jumped to conclusions. However, People is now reporting that Milo and Hayden are hotter than ever and aren't keeping their romance a secret anymore.

"Hayden's mom adores Milo. She thinks he's so cute. She [Hayden] tells her friends that he's her boyfriend. She's very proud. They're very affectionate and very comfortable around each other. He really takes care of her, even down to the little things like giving her a back massage and going with her to work."

I guess this means it's time for those of us who were in denial to face the facts that Milo and Hayden are really an item.

POPSUGAR

I used to watch Heroes the 1st season like religiously, I mean it was ~~ALMOST~~ taking my #1 spot of favorite shows over Grey's Anatomy, but I don't know after it came back on Season 2, it just wasn't as appealing anymore to watch..

All this mess...

2007-12-31T19:04:00.000-08:00

Feeling: Exhausted

Listening too: Ingrid Michaelson "Keep Breathing"
Drinking: Butterfinger Hot Chocolate (I swear, that after taste is if I was eating the real deal)

♥ ♥ ♥ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♥ ♥ ♥

Today I needed to go grocery shopping because I'm not sure how long the stores will be open tomorrow and of course things go wrong..

First, I step outside with my sick child and we practically almost get thrown down by the strong winds blowing. They're so strong that it almost ripped of my screen door off it's hinges.

Second, Karla has been sick for almost 4 days now, and it's just a cough and a runny nose that she has but that cough sometimes is so strong that it makes her throw up.

Were in the store half way through and her cough is making me worried because I'm thinking she's just going to hurl at anytime now. Everything's fine she's even asking me for a snack. I give it to her and she's OK, then...it happens. Puking up ALL that snack, right in the meat aisle.

All over her jacket, her pants and even the floor, people walk by, ready to hurl themselves, and offer sympathy but no help. I'm holding a bag under her while she's throwing up and they're like 'Aw poor thing' and run off..

*sigh* Just another day...And Yes, Yes this is how I'm spending my New Years Eve. Cleaning up spit, sitting in front of a computer waiting for my hubby. He goes to work New Years Eve and comes home on New Years (He get's out at 1 am) and eating .

Grey's Anatomy

2007-12-29T21:43:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the WGA strike, we have run out of but one episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. It only has one new episode (episode 11) left to air January 10..So until then I added my favorite scenes from past episodes cause I'm seriously going through withdrawal..

Christina and Burke dancing. He really should have stayed on. I liked his character.

Christina asking Callie to be a Bridesmaid

Burke leaving Christina

Meredith tells her dad about his wife.

I Swear...

2007-12-29T15:27:00.000-08:00

Ok so before I had my kid, I had a bad mouth.. Fword this Fword that.

When I had my baby, I thought I would never say (well maybe limit) those kinds of words again. That I'd be a good example and that by the time she was old enough to start repeating everything I said, she'd say happy words like , I love you, or Give me a hug, and not say words that would mortify the other mommies at a playground.

And of course my kid became a repeater.

Now if you come into my home, you'll find me yelling "Damn it" when I drop a plate or wondering who the hell the left the milk on the counter. I also say s**t alot, these days, I let the F-word for bigger deals, like the time she grabbed a black marker and wrote on the screen tv, crayoned the walls (which wouldn't be a big deal, if it was my house) or just smeared a half a container of cream all over herself. And many a times my friend has told me to stop but they just come out.

Now I don't do this in public because I could just see all those disapproving looks from strangers on the street. Now her an the other hand will wait till we are at the store (her favorite at a checkout line) or at a friends house and will tell people, to either shut up, or use the S word. My favorite, were at a shoe store and we walk by a lady taking her shoe off and my kids says, with a scrunched up face, 'nasty shit'. Yea, I see that mommy of the Year award slowly creeping away.

I've managed to catch her before she calles Grandpa the B word and through other foul-mouthed incidents.

If I can stop setting this bad example maybe my kid will grow up completely vulgar-free. We'll it's still early...I'll just have to cross my fingers... Damn! My rice just burned...
