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!
