I CAN’T STAND YOU, MRS. PROCRASTINATOR!
Today I bought Abel his Valentine’s Day card. I can’t wait to give it him. I love it, but he might not! Hee Hee! I’ll tell you about the card in 14 days.
Yesterday I took Adrian to the doctor. All was fine, I guess he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He was fussy all day long. Anyways, while at the office, the triage nurse noticed that I had lost some weight. (Yes, I’m talking about this weight loss thing again! I’m sorry, it’s just that it was funny to me!) Usual questions came up, what are you doing? What are you taking? In how long? Soooooooo….I get taken into the room, I’m waiting for about 30 minutes, when I hear a knock at the door….I think to myself…”finally, the doc is here.” WRONG….it was the triage nurse w/5 other nurses! She had been bragging about me and she wanted to show me off! I got so embarrassed. But then I liked it! LOL! I went ahead and gave the nurse a copy of my menu. I always carry it in my purse! The doctor saw and heard the commotion and asked the nurses that who was there? They replied “a patient.” Needless to say, they split, like when you turn on the light and all the roaches leave?
When the doc finally did come in, he asked me, “So are you the one that everyone was in here looking at?” I had no choice but to tell him, “duh, isn’t it obvious!” WHATEVER! JUST KIDDING! I told him yes and why they were in the room with me, he told me that I should be proud of myself then. Which I am! Ok, Okay, enough about me!
Bueno, y como se dice en espanol....Hasta manana, si diosito quiere!

Another one bites the dust!

Too many titles, I can't chose?
1. I now really enjoy shopping for clothes! Last Thursday I made my first big purchase of smaller sized clothes! It was so exciting, shocking, and FUN! I went to my weekly weighing session in Brownsville. My plans were to go to the mall to purchase some shoes, instead, I wound up at my FAV store...New York & CO! I walked out with 6 tops! I was doing the "I'm so excited" dance in the dressing rooms! Seriously, I was! This night was like Badda Bing, Badda Boom!
2. My new size is between 8 and 10. I still can't believe I am saying that! This past Sunday I went to the mall, I decided to test my size. I tried on 2 pants at two different stores of size 8. THEY FIT! OMG! I guess you could say I am still in shock. They fit snug, but I did not have to lay down to zip them up. Abel told me I looked great already, but then he gave the go ahead and continue till I felt comfortable
3. Today was my first trip to the outlet malls here in the RGV! Ally, Adrian, and I went with Ms. Jennifer. I bought Adrian some NewBalance tennis and I bought myself some scrubs.
4. Abel is in the process of selling his 1988 Mustang. He is looking at maybe purchasing a 1985 Buick Grand National. A turbo V6 that is rare because is was only made from 1984-1987. If it is in good condition, he might go for it.
Weno, this has been long enough, maybe I'll continue manana.

Nothing funny?
Meanwhile, I shall wait for something funny. Other than smiling, I love to crack up! Now that I think about it, the last time I majorly cracked up was about 1 month ago. I was playing BOOGIE on the Wii at my sis & bro in laws. My little character was doing the funniest dancing moves! Moves they had not seen before! Go figure, my "monita" would do that. She kept doing the split, among other dumb moves!
Oops, I did it again!

A Smile
I have never guest blogged before so I have just been thinking about Adri and her passed blogs and more importantly the title of her Blog. :) Adriville SmiLeS!!
If people were to describe Adri I am sure one of the first things they will say about her is that she is always smiling.
That is hard to find these days but yet so many people are looking for smiling, cheerful people. When people go out shopping, eating, or things of that nature we always want good, friendly service, so we always look to get the happy waiter, waitress, cashier, etc. And more often then not, the way to find those people is to look for that smile. Even on the telephone we can tell who is friendly or not because a smile can even travel through the phone.
Thinking about writing this blog had me trying to remember how or when I first met and became friends with Adri. The thing is, I can't remember. I believe its because from the get go she is nice and friendly. So I can't think of the moment that our acquaintanceship turned into a friendship.
With me on the other hand, people always tell me when they knew I was a nice guy instead of the mean guy that I project. You see, I am the opposite of Adri. I am not always cheery nor smiling. Especially in the mornings. I have recently come to realize that this image I project delays friendships and relationships because it takes time for people to know that I really am cheerful and friendly.
At one time, I was into reading books like A Road Less Traveled and How To Win Friends and Influence People and they devoted whole chapters to first impressions and how smiling affects that impression.
So we all got a lot to learn about this Smiling thing Adri does. Well, at least I do anyway.

My niece, CARLA
The reason the friends were coming over is because CARLA is a very out-going little princess. Esmi tells me that everyday..everyday.. she asks the mom's if the little friends can come over to her house. Carla is only 5 years old! Ever since I can remember, she has spoken almost like an adult. She is very social!! I think that's adorable. I told my sister I was going to BLOG about it. So I wonder how it all turned out? I'm sure Carla was as happy as can be :)
I love my niece and nephew and sister and bro! Miss Ya'll from way over yonder in Texas!

I am a Victoria's Secret ANGEL!
I call my friend Josie to let her know that thanks to the weather, we will not be walking tomorrow morning. This weather just ruined it for us. Anyways, she takes care of payroll over at her mom's restaurant, "VICKY'S" and "Taco Jardin" here in San Benito. I knew she had to work on the W-2's as well. So, my curious mind wanted to know if she had already done them? (As if it's any of my business!) She did not sound happy....her computer is dead!!! I asked her if she had any computer guy friends? She doesn't but I do!!! Three as a matter of fact!! So I knew that NACHO was readily available. I called him, I called her, I called him, and Josie was on her way!!! Whatever the problem was, he fixed it in less than 20-30 minutes. She left so so happy :) Had she not gotten her computer fixed tonight, she would have had some very upset employees, she would have been up all night (trying to do everything manually), and the biggest headache ever:(
Needless to say.......I was her angel tonight! Josie said that God works in mysterious ways. When my sister-in-law called to tell me that Josie's computer was fixed....... I was so so happy for her!! What made me the happiest is that she was not going to have to have a hard time after all! I tell you, I am a Victoria's Secret ANGEL! Although nobody believes
me :( LOL!
Basically, we were life savers tonight.
Josie also called me back to thank me, I could hear the difference in her voice. There was a bigger reason than I thought when I called her tonight.

HE KNOWS HOW TO TOUCH MY HEART ...part II
This is from My Heart, with love to You.
This is for every hour we have ever spent together:
For every kiss, each embrace, and every tear shed for one another.
For every precious moment we have created
just by being together.
For all the times we managed to work through our anger and our tears
For all the times I was distressed and you were patient.
For all the beautiful memories of the love we have made
And given to each other, of all the tenderness and love that you
Have shown to me, of all the little things you have done for me
that in time have added up to be so great.
Most of all, this is for you from me: to show you just how special
I believe you really are, to thank you for everything you have done
For me, to let you know exactly how I feel about you,
and remind you that I will always love you. --Diane E. Beele
I LOVE YOU BABY!*************Part I was....click here.

***Yummy Tuesday***
I usually steal a waffle fry from Sal and I try to make it last. If I can make it out of the 170's, I will have a Chick-fil-A club sandwich in two weeks. YUMMY!! We have a good time, but I am very surprised that we don't even get tempted to visit our favorite store "New York & Co." I guess those two beefy cheesy patties, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and jalapenos keep us pretty entertained.
If, whenever possible, I also like to stink up Sal's SS with a to-go burger for my hunny!
Again, ***Yummy Tuesday***

Will you still know me tomorrow?
Most of the people that I meet are at work. When I used to work at Su Clinica Familiar, I met several people. Of all of the people I met, I still have contact and a friendship with only 3. Well, there's also 2 other girls that I kinda talk to, when they're available. I know that where I currently work, I have also made some more close friends. It's just that with all the twists and turns that life has to offer, I hope we stay friends for a long time. It's just that when you don't work together anymore, people tend to go their own way. That's not cool!
An example of friends "forever" is....MY HUNNY!! I met him at work. (Rally's Hamburgers) I still remember the way he would wrap my burger. Hearts coming out of my head.... I enjoy being friendly and making friends. So, will you still know me tomorrow? I know I will probably know you tomorrow. My friend Jennifer says I always remember everyone. Come to think of it, Abel says the same thing.... He gets mad because I can never make a quick run to the store...because I always have to bump into someone I know and chit chat for a bit. Hee Hee!
P.S. I KNOW THIS POST IS LATE....BUT, I DID START IT ON MONDAY, SO IT TOOK YESTERDAY'S DATE.

First ever....Mommy time-out

Can you smell that?
My parents are originally from Mexico. My sister, brother, and I were born and raised here in San Benito, TX. So for most of our vacations, we went to Mexico. At that point and time, we didn't like it very much. There were three places we would visit...El Rancho de La India Escondida (my grandma's ranch), Cd. Mante, and Santa Engracia. Things were very different overthere. There was no electricity, running water or water heaters at the ranch. No fast food, no neighbors, or no noise! When your young and used to the city, you feel that without those things, it's not a life.
As I got older, I did like to spend my summers in Santa Engracia with my single older aunts. (To date, they never got married) I had a lot of cousins and I also made a lot of friends there!! The kids over there would love to make me speak in English. It was neat! Now, I miss going over there! I'm so glad our parents made us go. That is the only reason I have memories from my family in Mexico. Not only that, I know my family. If you don't visit, you won't know your family!!! I now wish to be back with those clear skies at night, clean air, quiet environment (except for the animals making noise), and night lit by candles, lanterns or the moon! Even just for a few days. Now-a-days, that would be a true vacation....RELAXATION!
Ok, so back to my title....
I went outside tonight and someone was cooking out. By the smell, I could tell they were not using charcoal. Maybe mesquite? The surrounding smell, reminded me of Mexico. It automatically made me bring those memories to the front of my brain. And what else did it make me do?????? SMILE :) And at the same time, a little "carcachita" was passing by, helping my memories even more. Most of the cars over there make alot of noise! I can't wait to go and take our children! Although Abel hates to go!
I'm gonna try to dig some pics........

Not camera shy
Pants, Pants, and more Pants....
I had a great time during lunch yesterday. The B.O. Manager at work...we shall call her Pat, has dropped some weight. "What is up with all this losing weight!?!?" Just kidding, it's awesome! We all get to share clothes now. The then skinny now skinner get to pass it to the then chunky now smaller. Got it? Get it? Good! Soooooo, Pat had some pants that did not fit her anymore. She let me take them home to choose which ones I wanted. Which I took home for lunch. Forget the lunch, I was having a blast trying on smaller size pants!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! They would actually fit!! I kept 6 of the 11. Thanks Pat!! You keep on taking out clothes! Now I need to shop for tops!!

Adri's Mood: Happy
- FRIDAY- Work, Target run then BELLYDANCING!!!!
- SATURDAY-Work, fun breakfast @ McD's, grocery shopping, clean house, visit Madrina in La Feria, Fun Bowling night w/friends, hang out with "Shopping couple of the year"= The Y-Barras.
- SUNDAY-Visit Abuelita Panchita in Matamoros all morning long (my papi went also). Got back in time to see Dallas Cowboys play.
This is my type of weekend. It might not sound like I did a lot to you, but it does to me. My favorite part was getting to see, meet, or hang out with people I hardly ever see. My Abuelita Panchia lives in CIUDAD MANTE, MEXICO. She does not come that often, so I was happy to see her today! Not only did I see her, but tios, tias, & cousins. I also met several nice persons this weekend through my friend Sal, or should I say, "J?" I hope it's not the last time I see them....
All this while spending time with Abel, Ally & Adrian.......LOVE, Adriana :)

Just Because......
Just because, I had some forbidden chips during lunch! Yup.
I ate a baby snickers & a baby baggie of M&M's, just because.
I got back to work from lunch and my husband calls and tells me, "my car didn't start." Long story short, I should've made a trip to Brownsville today (weekly weigh in), but just because of his car, I will not be making that trip. (Which I am not mad about).
Just because I was not going to Brownsville....I bought myself an ice-cream cone from DQ.
Finally, just because I did not want to regret it so much......I didn't finish the cone :)
Oh, one more.............just because I did what I did.............I will hear from my friends & family.
By the way, I have been a bad girl today, just because.

WE START.......
- Every day with a new fresh breath, thanks to the Lord,
- New memories,
- More friendships,
- New goals,
- More smiles,
- By exercising,
- By eating healthy,
- "A blog a day "
- A New Year!!!!!
- To find out that Adrian knows how to let me know that he is soiled...by telling us loudly...at the movies...."CACA!!!" OH, of course by the smell as well :)
Today we went to the movies to see "Alvin & The Chipmunks." It is a good movie, well the parts that Adrian let me see. He was so active and talking a lot. So, I had to change his diaper. I got his bag and off to the restroom. Low and behold, they don't have a changing station!!!! :( I had to change his diaper while he was standing. To top it off, he did a major one!!! He almost got his little shirt dirty!! I asked myself "Why did he have to take a huge one right now?!" And he kept saying "CACA." Anyways, we survived. He was making me laugh because he felt awkward me wiping his booty while he was standing. He was giggling.
