BY UNANIMOUS DECISION....... NOT TO FACEBOOK


As I had stated in a prior entry.........to Facebook or not to Facebook, Sad to say it ended up in the second choice, Not to Facebook. I'm okay with it now, somehow things are really so irrelevant sometimes. When you see the general picture and put it on a scale of the following; do I want to have a happy home with a happy controlling husband or do I want an unhappy home with an unhappy controlling husband. I know you women out there will be thinking the worst of me, I know we are living in another time, we've come a long way to still be controlled in such a way. What the heck happened to equality and women's rights? I don't know, but I know that my life is Happy being the way it is, and I love the set up we have going. Maybe I'm a modern woman but my heart is still in the Leave it to Beaver era. I do find happiness in being a home-maker. I love this man like no other, and I do respect his feelings and care very much about him being happy, I have to admit I just don't understand his insecurities........wow, you'd think he found me on a corner.....El Cajon Blvd... with my tube top and miniskirt......stilettos and a few missing teeth........hahahaha!!! I just gotta laugh at life sometimes and make the best of things. Life's too short to be hung up on small things. But to all my Facebook........well........ex-Facebook friends, love you lots.......hey I still have e-mail privileges.........hahahaha. Love you my girlfriends.

What the heck?


Today is another day........and I'm more calm and relaxed, but yesterday? that is a whole other story. To make it short I just have to say that I went into Petco yesterday morning to buy a new filter for my daughters turtle tank. I walk in and go straight to the filter section. I look at all the boxes and I can't figure out which one I need, so I walk towards the first rep I see........she walks away from me; after hearing my "excuse" me a few times. So she walks away and goes to talk to another rep. To this, I keep walking behind her and barge in on her conversation with yet another "excuse" me. She turns and listens to my question with a face of "what do you want?" and she lets me know she is the cashier and another person could help me out, she points to another rep who looks at me with the same "what do you want?" face. I walk towards her and show her the cut out of the filter machine my daughter has and ask her to help me find the right filter. I won't write out the whole conversation, but she definitely didn't want to help. She talked down on me, and pointed out what I needed. I turned to her and let her know that she should really work on her patience. To which she turned and walked away laughing "haha I need patience, I need a break!" so I turn and walk to the cashier; who had heard everything. I put the filters on the counter and proceeded to tell her that her co-worker was terribly rude. To which she replied "she's actually a really nice person", I didn't agree and just told her that I don't come into stores to be treated like I'm stupid, that if I have questions I want them answered in a professional way........not the way that rep had talked to me. She offered me an apology and I said I wouldn't be coming back to that store. So I walk out, but I'm thinking "are you serious? in this freaking economy people are acting that way and treating customers in such a way, don't they value their job? there are so many people out there unemployed that would love to have her job, and do an awesome job of it" I'm glad it's very rare that I come across such bad customer service. Thank Goodness for that. I hate for ignorants to tap into my negative Chi. I prefer Positive Chi......any day.

To Facebook or not to Facebook


Here's the deal-io, my friends and some of my sisters have accounts with face book and they recently sent me an invite, to which I agreed to, to which Marcial put the yell in the air.... "Married women aren't supposed to have Face books!!!" Okay, so if you know my husband, you have to know how complicated he can be, how stubborn and yet how adorable he is. I'm super confused, or not so much confused, I'm caught between the wall and a rock (okay however that saying goes). I want to share with my friends and sisters (cross my heart.....I'm a grown woman with no intentions of "meeting" strangers. But try to get my hubby to believe that) Okay so we shall see what happens with this drama........the famous face book debate. I don't blame him for one minute, I too was a skeptic not too long ago. I too believed grown ups shouldn't be doing this lame grown up "my space". Now I don't know how I feel about it. I love to be able to leave quick notes and post pics for my friends and family. But my love for Marcial comes before anything, so if it's that big of a deal to him.......it's done.........finito.

Baby Max is born!!


As I had mentioned before; I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my little nephew Max, and the time has come! he was born on February 26Th. I'm so in love with him, I can't help but think of him at random times of the day and remember how sweet he is. It's such a precious feeling when I hold him in my arms, it's an amazing feeling that is hard to express in words. All I know is that he is a sweet little baby that has come to fill all our lives with joy and enrich all the love we already have.........as a family. Welcome to my precious little Max. You are incredibly loved by all that awaited your arrival. God bless you little Max.

I don't want to be Obese


I don't really want to be labeled Obese!!! which is what I was told last time I went for a physical. I have to admit, I am way, way out of shape, and I would love to weigh a whole lot less, but please! don't let me be Obese. Just the word itself is so negative. But I can't give in to that negativity, I must find some new ideas on how to cook lighter, and how to motivate myself to add a few more steps to my daily walk. And from now on I declare a goal for myself..........no more cafesito and desert after 7:00. Sorry Marcial, I know you and I have our special time sipping our cafesito and enjoying some freshly baked scones, cookies and more. Now is a time for change, and most importantly a time for prevention. Hopefully around the same time next year, I will weigh less and be a little more fit, that my friends is my goal. To many healthy days!!
