I’ve had a pretty eventful week & weekend. I had loads to do all week after school, as always. There’s always some errand I have to run. All I crave is some downtime…and for the next 3 hours I’m planning to just do absolutely nothing but surf the net (and then I have to go to the mall with John, pick Mom up, go visit Gramma at the nursing home, then pick up Mario from work and drop Mom off at her house).

Friday was pretty awesome, well, the first half of it anyway. We finished up our internet assignment (regarding Macros in Excel) the first two periods, then after the break we did a survey online. It was more of a personality quiz, really. Turns out I’m an Includer, Achiever, Strategic, Focused, and Contextual (meaning I look back to the past and better myself from it). Our group were among the first to finish (Lucy, Mayra, Ricci, and myself) so we got to leave extra early; 10:45 to be exact . It was perfect since we had a lunch date at Red Lobster. Jennifer and Rolando also joined us. It was really nice and I hope we can do it again soon, except next time we’re planning to go to the Olive Garden. Yum! It’s so nice to have friends to chill out with .

Ricci and I went to Wal-Mart where I was to find a DVD Mary wanted for her birthday. I didn’t find it there, so I called Mario (who was eating with Jose, Elda and Mary at a restaurant) to tell him they didn’t have it. He gets all mad and tells me to go back. I tell him to go since he’s on his way anyway; I had a horrible migraine. But he didn’t, and I didn’t so he was angry at me all day. We made up later during Mary’s get together, but I still felt bad about it most of the day.

Mary’s birthday was nice. The whole family was here, well, except Jorge , but she did talk to him on the phone. Later that night, we went to visit Isaac and then went to Jorge and Maggie’s and chilled out for a bit. All we could talk about was hurricane Katrina. It’s just so horrible what the people over there are going through.

I went to the movies with Mary, Elda, Sonia, and Noelia yesterday morning. We watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I thought it was such a good movie, but I’m biased since I love movies like that. It wasn’t scary, for me anyway, but there were two parts that startled me.

After the movies, we went to Target, where they had such cute scrapbooking and Halloween stuff in the Dollar Spot! After we finished up there, we went to eat at Chick-fil-A and talked about the movie and how there’s real-life situations like that. Mary was talking about premonitions that she gets and I told them about how every time I dream of teeth, someone dies. Creepy.

20 years ago:
I was 3. I have little flashes of memories of playing in my great-gramma’s house while my mom was doing laundry. I remember my mom bathing me in the sink. I remember certain books that I used to read (well, that I’d look through the pages of LOL).

15 years ago:
I was 8. I was in 3rd grade and I loved school. This was the first time I’d ever had an “enemy” (the other smart girl in the class constantly competed with me, but at the same time we were friends and then ended up hating each other). It was the first time I’d had my heart broken by a boy and the first time I’d ever kissed a boy on the cheek (my friend Lazaro LOL).

10 years ago:
I was 13. My mom and dad were completely separated by this time. We realized that that was it; he was never coming back and basically we could have cared less. I had the best friends in the world at this time: Sally, Vero, Dayse, Jessica, and Angie.

5 years ago:
I was 18. I was already married and a mother to a 1 year old. I was working at Old Navy—my first job ever.

3 years ago:
I was 20 and had just had my 2nd baby. I was a stay at home mom and loved being at home with my kids.

Last Year:
My Gramma got really sick and was admitted to the hospital. She was later put into a nursing home, as she would receive ’round the clock care. As a result, my Mom and brother moved out of their apartment (which was right next door) to my Aunt’s house. Mario also lost his job in April, and then got his dream job in November before his birthday.

This Year:
Eenan’s in 1st grade, and Jaylen’s 3. I finally got my license in June and started attending college in July. I also met 3 wonderful girls: Ricci, Lucy and Mayra. As hectic as it is, I’m loving life right now .

Yesterday:
Had a Girl’s Day Out with Sonia, Noelia, Elda and Mary.

Last Night:
Spent some time with Mario, then fell asleep reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Today:
Dropped Mario off at work, am doing laundry and am online. Got a few errands to run later on.

Tomorrow:
Back to school. Then I have to go to the bank and I’ve got some calls to make.

Next Year:
I’ll, God-willingly, be graduating in April and will hopefully find a great job in the weeks/months after that.

Five-Ten years from now:
I hope and pray that Mario and I either bought, or are buying our dream home. I hope we’re loving our jobs/careers and that hopefully, maybe we’re trying for our little daughter .

People I want to pass this on to: Who ever wants to do it!

It’s really simple, but I made a new layout. I’m really looking foward to fall, but since I live in south Texas we don’t get to enjoy the trees changing colors, SO, I made this layout. The top image changes. I really like it .

Back to school tomorrow. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not looking foward to sleeping only 5-6 hours tonight. Blah.

Spent yesterday just lying on the couch reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Got more than half-way through. Can’t wait to finish it!

Today we went to Peter Piper Pizza, where the kids acted up a little, but we had a nice time anyway.

I’m 30 minutes late in starting dinner, so I guess this’ll be all for now.
