I CAN’T STAND YOU, MRS. PROCRASTINATOR!

Just when I think I’m doing better, I slip! Since I got my associates degree in Health Information and passed my national exam, I am obligated to obtain continuing education hours. I am to submit 20 hours every 2 years. Today was the deadline to submit those hours. And when did Adri do it? Today. I was still looking for necessary paperwork today! Que nina! I can’t stand it when I do that! Oh well, enough of that.

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!


Yup, Abel sells another mustang! I have lost track of how many he has owned? We went to Weslaco today to meet the buyers half way. It was still sad to see it go! Abel would like to try something different now. I just don't want another car payment. We'll see what happens...
More pics here. I'm happy the car sold quicky and I pray that the new owners have fun with it and that they don't have any problems!

Too many titles, I can't chose?

Several things have been wondering in my mind. I don't want to forget any of them. So I am doing a super mix. I make it sound like a lot, but I guess it really isn't.

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?

Nothing funny has happened to me anymore!! What is going on? Have I been at home too much? Or at work too much? I do feel like I need a little vacation, but with lots of money in my purse. Valentines Day is coming up...what shall I get Abel? Better yet, what shall he get me? He gave me a choice CAMERA or PURSE? I went with camera. Actually I said both. We'll see what happens.

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!

I missed posting on Saturday!!! That's ok, I will make it up today!! Thank God I was backed up by my friend yesterday, because I was not in the MOOD! Adrian Ethan submerged my digital camera into water!!!!!!!!! Nevertheless, it does not work now!!! I was so furious for leaving the camera unattended. More important than that, I'm just glad he didn't jump into the water himself. All I did was go aswer the house phone, but he did not lose any time!!! Que NINO!! Then he brought it to me. I was so so bummed. And all Abel could do was make fun of me!! He said he would buy me plenty of waterproof disposable cameras!!!! :( I was not mad at Adrian, it was my fault. So here he is, doing his fav.....taking a bath........

A Smile

Greetings, This is Sal from digiSal.com. Adri asked me to fill in for her today since she isn't able to blog tonight and hasn't blogged since Friday.

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




My niece is living in Chester, Virginia right now (with my sister and bro in law). I have not seen her since June '07. But through pictures I can tell that my nephew, Sebastian and Carla are growing!! Yesterday my sister Esmi told me that she was going to have some of Carla's little school friends over at her house on Friday (today). There weren't going to be any classes for them.

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!
BTW, my niece Hailey, she's another story!!!
CORRECTION, CORRECTION, CARLA IS 4! OOPS! I LOVE U MAMITA!

I am a Victoria's Secret ANGEL!

Well, we all know I'm not, but it just sounds nice. I had something else planned for tonight, but I had to change it all up. So, I'm on my way back home from Brownsville........

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

I have been listening to a cd that my baby compiled for me this week. The artist is Pepe Aguilar. This mariachi sings so "romantico." I listen to it in my office and in the car. Because of this cd, I have been sending my hunny some very lovey dovey text messages. I've told him that these types of little gifts are the ones that touch me the most. Because I am in a very lovey mood, I have to add the following text, it came from a little scroll sign he gave me last "VALENTINE'S DAY....."


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***

This means that every Tuesday I get to eat a double meat cheese burger at BRANDING IRON! It is becoming somewhat of a tradition to do during lunch. Emily, Jennifer, Sal, sometimes Teri, and I have been going for the past three Tuesdays. My healthy menu calls for a burger for dinner, but instead, Jen suggested it be swapped for lunch. A burger is heavier than fish, so now the fish is for dinner. Which works out great!

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?

During a lifetime we meet so many people. Some come and go, some stay forever, and some disappear forever. It's great meeting different people. My sister has met so many people from different areas of the U.S. or the world. There are so many different customs out there. For the most part, I'm only used to the tex-mex customs.

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


Since Friday Jennifer and I had discussed the possibilty of going to the movies (without hubbies and kiddos). We wanted to see a girly movie that just came out on Friday, 27 dresses. It turned out to be a pretty good movie. When we arrived @ the movies, we thought we had the wrong time of the showing. Just look @ the parking lot! The movie started @ 10:45 am.

We had a good time. At times, we were the only ones cracking up. Or should I say, the loudest ones laughing! :) It was nice, but I would still think of my hunny and the kids. As a mother and wife, you always still feel somewhat guilty or concerned how the situation is at home, @ least I do. For some reason, daddy's go crazy without the wifey around. After the movie we went to the mall, to our favorite store.....New York & Company. Thanks for the good time Jenny!! Maybe next time it'll be more of us! Although Ariel thought it was weird! LOL!

Later, Abel, the kiddos & I went to my cousin Gissela's house in Harlingen. We watched the Patriots beat the Chargers :( Not cool! Another good weekend though!

Can you smell that?

It's funny how certain odors remind you of something. Whether it be special, ugly, or yummy. Some candles may trigger some memories also....mom's homemade apple pies, the outdoors, or I don't know?

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........

Just because I like this song....

I'm not really good at paying attention to the lyrics, but I like this song. I usually like the tunes to a song. So I don't know what Sara is talking about. I hope nothing really bad. It was hard to find the actual video to post.

Not camera shy

My chiquito has a great trainer for pictures............ME! He has become less and less camera shy. He can now even say "cheese." He was having pizza in these pics. I love our kiddos!!!!

Pants, Pants, and more Pants....

LATE ENTRY FOR 1/16/08
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!!

Halfsies

Halfsies is today. Halfsies to the end of the month. What a great month so far!! I'm kinda having a "brain fart" so this is what came to mind. Halfsies to doing fun things and to appreciating everyday more and more. Blogging One A Day makes me realize how wonderful life is. There is not one day that should go by without being thankful for something. ABAD proves it. Even though I feel so much happiness inside, I am still missing something. I just hope I reach out for it soon. When I think about that something....fear enters into my spirit. A good fear in a sense.

Where are the WRANGLERS?

Check Adrian out on the John Deere..... In just seconds, he was a pro!!! My chiquito! Sorry on the quality of the vid, it was with my cell phone. Afterwards I got my camera down, a little too late....This was at my madrinas house on Saturday. Our kiddos enjoyed being there. Adrian cried because I took him from my madrina's arms. She is so so loving. And Ms. Shy Ally would tell me to leave her there and to go pick her up later. I could not believe my ears!!!! (I changed the video on 1/17/08 to one that was produced by: DIGISAL)

Adri's Mood: Happy

I've had such a great weekend. As I sit here summarizing my weekend, I can't help but SMILE :) I googled the word "outgoing personality." I wanted to see what popped up. I read an article of a professor that said something that my hunny always tells me....."To begin with, naturally enough, extroverted people usually spend a lot more of their time in social situations than less extroverted persons do. Thus they tend to maximize their participation in the "Number 1" source of happiness: social activity." He tells me this because he knows I enjoy being out and about. So I guess that I am an extroverted person. The more I read that article, I kept nodding my head in agreement. I pray to God that I may always feel this way. I might have gotten a little side tracked, but not really.


  • 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 :)

I AM NOT AT HOME!! I WILL TELL U TOMORROW!! RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!!!

Lost a baby..........toooooth!


Can you believe I still had a baby tooth? It never fell! It was so embarrassing! Nah, just kidding! My little darling Ally's 1st tooth fell today!! My sister-in-law Belia called me to work after she picked up the girls from school. She gave me the cute news! "Ally lost her tooth!" I got so excited!!! Then Bel repeats, "No, she literally lost her tooth!" Stupposedly....it fell during lunch and she put it away in her lunch box. Then a curious little classmate girl friend asked to see it....Ally took it out, dropped it, and lost it!!!! Apparently, she cried at that point. My chiquita!! Tia Bel did a good job of calming her down. Then I talked to Ally on the phone and we made a plan for tonight. She has made a note to place under pillow tonight! Soon she will be losing another bottom tooth, I see it kinda wiggly!

Better late than never

I had not had a chance to post my New Year's Eve pictures. Of course, I could not let this go on any longer! My blog might be something like the movie Pulp Fiction. How they go back and forth. This year we went house hopping. First we went to my husband's cousins house then we went to my mother-in-laws. We had a great time everywhere!

SCHOLASTIC times

Does anyone remember "Scholastic" from elementary? I surely do, I used to love ordering stickers. My parents didn't read or really understand English, so they would just give us a budgeted amount of moola. Now I say that I wasted $$ on stickers, but at the time, I was cool. Allyson has been getting her order forms every month. I usually do the reviewing, approving, and the ordering. I try sticking to educational books and allow 1 or 2 goofy things. While I was out bellydancing tonight, my hunny took care of it. (By the way, it was an awesome class!!!) Ally has been telling us to fill it out since Monday night. Anyways, tonight was her lucky night. When I walked into the house, she told me that daddy had said for me to write the rest. First thing I did, pull out the calculator. I started adding and adding, and mind you, I was supposed to write in the rest of the order......the grand total so far was over $22.00. Thank God that Ally is blessed that we could probably order all of that, BUT that is not the point! I never let her order all that she has circled!! Next time, she'll think she can circle more and get it all. I don't think so! As I kept reviewing what Mr. Villegas had ordered, I noticed he had ordered one of those gimmick ones......the ones that they will be sending you orders to your house every month for a nominal fee. I went to ask him why he had ordered almost everything? He said "why not?" Needless to say, I will have to alter the order. At least now Abel should know how to handle it in the future. (Read the fine print) I love you hunny, thanks for pleasing mija!

Not quite the composer

I was or am totally out of material tonight. At the moment, a song popped into my head. A song by AIR SUPPLY. I figured I could compose a song using that tune or even stealing some of the lyrics. The song is "All out of love." Maybe you're not familiar with that song, so if you click here , you'll know what I'm talking about. So here are the lyrics that I did record myself singing. I guess I was doing karaoke blogging? It was......"I 'm all out of blogs, I'm so lost without you I know you that you really, wanted to read it...I 'm all out of blogs, what am I without you I can't be too late to say that I was so blogged." Sorry that I could not post my beautiful voice......NOT!!!! I recorded myself with my cell phone, since I am not high tech like Mr. Yates, my attempts failed. My hunny said I was crazy to post my singing anywayz. I told him that it was all for the fun of it! All I know is that I had fun recording myself! LOL!

Anything but easy...

Today was one of the hardest days at work. Cut backs were made. It is not an easy thing to go through. I did pray before any of the cut backs took place. Fortunately, they went better than I thought, still not easy. I felt bad because I have a wonderful staff :( Even us as management are getting our salaries cut. I enjoy working @ VDC, so I will stick around for a while. Please pray for us and our director! I hope this passes quickly and everyone get back on their feet!!

DIA DE LOS REYES MAGOS

In Mexican tradition, January 6 is “Dia de los reyes magos.” I believe this is the day that the 3 Wise Men arrived @ Bethlehem to visit and take baby Jesus presents. In Mexico, the gift exchange is done on this day, thus this is the day the children are anxious for. Christmas eve and Christmas day are also celebrated but so is today. My mom got back from visiting my sister in Virginia yesterday. She had a blessed time being with my sister and her family. So, my mom came over to our house today with gifts. Since she was gone for Christmas, she brought them over today. Our kiddos liked the presents. They received some from my mom and Tia Esmi (my sister). I feel so bad though, I still haven’t sent them their gifts!!! I will soon. There was something that made me extra happy today….Adrian gave my mom her first true real hug today. He hardly ever wants for her to look at him, hold him, talk to him or even touch him. I asked Adrian to give TITA (what the grandkids say instead of grandma or wela) a huggy, huggy to say thank you. He walked over the toys and gave my mom a beautiful warm hug. He even stayed there for a minute. My mom also realized what had just happened. That also made her happy. I hope that was the first of many. The entire time my mom was here, Adrian was quite a bit more tamed. He was laughing with her and playing with her.

How about a yard sale?


Or is it a garage sale or like Abel calls it....garbage sale? We had it @ my mother-in-laws house. Abel & I took out some clothes to sell. I also sold some baby stuff. Over all, I sold close to $30.00. That is better than some other times. People like to buy everything real cheap! To top it off, I'm not a salesperson. I get a little shy. So if they bring my price down....I go for it. Later Abel felt like cooking out and we bought fajitas. We pigged out! Adrian & Ally had fun running around.

Our little Adrian



Adrian is growing and becoming funnier. Not only funnier but hyper!!! Tonight we had dinner at my favorite restaurant...THE TEXAS ROADHOUSE. Yummy Yummy! Well, Adrian would not stay still! I think that the most he sat was 5 min, if even 5 min. He would throw the sugar packages across the table, would stick his fingers in the ketchup, he kept climbing on the table or he would be flirting with the lady next door! He could look over the booth and I think he even threw his fry over to the neighbors. QUE NINO! The neighbor lady later started to play with him. He was having fun! I kept trying to turn him around, but it was hard. He would give the lady this very cute smile. Then he started to play peek-a-boo with her. I hope the video looks ok. I can't really tell cuz I've got a crappy monitor. We love you our "little man!"

Just Because......

I weighed myself this morning, just because I weigh myself every Thursday morning. Although I dropped some weight, it is not what I expected. Especially because I have been busting my butt this week. I guess that at least I dropped, not upped.
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.

They're in!!

We got our 2007 VDC Christmas Party pictures!! I actually liked them. But of course, like any typical woman, right away we start looking for some flaws. I'll keep those to myself this time. Usually when you mention them, all of a sudden they become visible to everyone else. We had a pretty good time. Then again, I love to have a great time no matter what. It is what you make of it.

Tuesday, January 1, 2008

WE START.......

  • Every day with a new fresh breath, thanks to the Lord,
  • New memories,
  • More friendships,
  • New goals,
  • More smiles,

  • 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.
