WEEKEND RUNDOWN

Happy Monday campers. I hate Mondays....and today is no different. Except tonight on Heroes we finally get to see Peter Petrelli again! :x Also, Pasadena seems to have been spared by the wild Santa Winds. We usually get them bad, but so far not a leaf has been disrupted. Knock on wood we're also been spared from the brush fires.

On to the recap!

FRIDAY

Friday night we [the hubs, my brother, Chris, Mike & friend, BFF Leslie & friends] made the trek down to Torrance for Oktoberfest at Alpine Village. As always, it was a mad house, but at least it wasn't raining this year. Making our way to the front all you could smell was B.O. and barf. Disgusting!!! But once inside, all was good. The smell of wheaty beer and brauts filled the air. Once again this year we had a great time. I ended playing "Designated Dave" and therefore had a stein upon arrival and then sobered up for the drive home. Not so much fun to be part of the 1% sober club at Oktoberfest.

SATURDAY

The hubs worked all morning and I did jack shit [except for watch the UCLA game]. We then had an assome carne asada dinner at my parents house with my fav - tripitas. I stuffed my face and felt totally sick afterwards. The sad part was I ate way less than usual. My stomach hasn't been 100% lately. I've been having really bad pains in the afternoon [around the 5 o'clock hour] everyday. Although on this day I had been a bit nauseous since the morning.

SUNDAY

Sunday was a Saturday re-run. I continued to feel sick all day. I was also on a cleaning strike. I told G that I was spending my day off like him. I wanted to see what it was like to do jack shit on my days off. He usually plays xbox all day. I practically watched TV all day and did some reading. I, however, was not entirely successful. I can't stand dirty dishes in the sink and junk on the dining room table, so I did clean that. When G came home we went out for a sushi dinner with my brother, Chris, and Matt. Ichima does a body good. Not in my case though. Like clockwork, I had extreme stomach pains last night. [Warning: TMI] I spent a good amount of time in the crapper. Was not fun. I laid in bed and watched Desperate Housewives while the pain continued. Around 9:30pm the hubs made me some tea that works wonders on stomach aches and pains. My moms remedy - Yerbabuena del Serro. Looks like a bag of stress [if ya know what I mean *wink*wink*]. I also find that when made with lemon and salt it soothes faster. Maybe the acidity. And I don't really like how it tastes when sweetened [and I love everything "sal y limon"].

SIDE NOTE: We received my sister-in-law's 15ñera invite in the mail. You know...the one's I made for her. So I finally have pictures. Check em out.

WEEKEND RUNDOWN

Happy Monday! It's so cool and gloomy outside today....i love it!

I had a lovely weekend. It didn't start out so promising, but it all turned around by Saturday evening.

FRIDAY
My sister came over to help me finish the 15ñera invites I was working on for my sister-in-law. My sister took off around midnight and I carried on until about 1am. I finally finished and passed out at about 1:30am. Stupid me forgot to take picks of my hard work. I guess I'll have to wait till we get our invite in the mail. I'll post picks then.

SATURDAY
I made it out of bed around 9:30am, showered and headed out to drop off the invites. I then went home to clean up the mess from the night before. Paper and ribbon bits were scattered all over our carpet. The hubs took off to work around 1:45pm. His first time closing in a long time. That left me with a lonely unplanned evening. I don't know why I didnt make plans knowing he'd be gone. Around 4:30pm I finally texted my brother to see what he was up to and we [including my cousin chris] ended up going to the movies to see "Across the Universe."

This film was sooooo good! I loved every minute of it. I want to see it over and over. The way the Beatles songs were so masterfully worked into the script was genius. 18 Beatles songs are featured in the film [so yes...this is a musical]. The 1960's anti-war, love, sex, and rock & roll backdrop made each song shine. I can't wait for this DVD.

After the film, we were all feeling in need a some serous smoking and meditation with more Beatles music. My brother headed home to pick up his hookah and then came over with a few other peeps. Great times were had with lots of smoking and drinking. I think I literally passed out at 2:30am. I couldn't stay awake any longer. The hubs didn't even make it to bed till 4am!!

SUNDAY
G had the day off so we decided to just stay in and lounge all day. We hadn't done that since we first got married [like it was that long ago]. So we stayed i n bed all day and watched football, read, ate, napped, etc. Good times. :-p

Also, I've learned my cousin Christy had baby, Noah, on Sunday afternoon. She had a really long and hard labor, but baby and mom are doing very well. Say hi to the newest member of the Gonzalez Clan! Congrats Christy & Jeremy!

Forced Post

Damn....I wasn't gonna post today but then I got a comment basically telling me that I was slacking on my pimping! So now I feel pressured to post something.

I've been super busy at work these last few days, which sucks ass. I'm suppose to be working on some 15ñera invites for my step-sister-in-law [wow....say that 3 times fast]. All the assembly has to be done this weekend so that they may be mailed out next week, which leaves me tomorrow to print. FUCK ME! Serio - this is all stressing me out. So wish me luck people.

Oh yeah - I curse like a sailor when I'm stressed. "Fuck" becomes my new best friend. So leave now if you have virgin eyes. Ha! Yeah right....virgin eyes....i know all you reading this are just as bad.

And by the way - I do have one of these on my desk, but I think it's broken. I keep pushing it, but nothings getting any easier. I might need to order a replacement.



I'd like to be happy about tomorrow being Friday, but I know I'm gonna be stressing it. At least we're fully stocked with alcohol at home...that'll keep me sane and personable.
