Catching Up

Dang. It’s been a while since I updated . I seriously can’t even remember the last time I updated, or what it was about. My memory has been something else lately, and by that I mean I can’t remember shit =X.

— I just checked to see when, in fact, I did last update; it was WHILE Jorge was in Indiana. And I got my days and events from work all mixed up. Had to get on here and fix it!

I had an event on Thursday the 30th; a dinner to celebrate the 20th Anniversary as Sister Cities, and I wore the tallest shoes I’ve ever owned. Luckily, all went without incident, heh.

This was our wonderful dinner, which I hardly got to enjoy because I was running around all over the place making sure everything was going as it should:

Jorge went to Indianapolis again to the Cedia convention the 2nd week of this month for training and to receive an award :). I’m so proud of him, he really has no idea . We talked as much as we could, texted when he wasn’t in classes. It was a bit easier for me to be without him this year since I had the girls to keep me busy :). We even got to make mini pizzas :).

Last year was HARD, since I only had Emily at the time and she kinda lazied around with me and then escaped to Mom’s room when she was sleepy LOL.

Thursday was when I picked my boys up, brought them home and then went to the mall for Fashion Night. It was a really fun event. Too bad we didn’t get to eat anything since the herds of people (who didn’t even attend the show) all got in line. It was insane, heh.

The kiddos and I had a quiet weekend at home that week. My love got home Saturday afternoon :). It was SO NICE to have him home, and cuddling and just being together ♥.

Oh yes, I don’t know if I’d mentioned it already: we got a new kitty named Kika! Another Maine Coon. She’s finally warming up to us. She despises Ruffles, probably because he beats her up every chance he gets. Grr.

Aly had Grandparent’s Day lunch this past Monday. Both the grandmas and myself went. It was actually really pleasant :).

The rest of the week was pretty normal. Spending time with the girlies and my babe all week, doing our usual routine :). I did my motherly duties early Wednesday night and put the girls to bed and mom babysat. My love and I were invited to Frida’s for Retro night and it was super fun :). My love even bought me a rose, aww!

It was Mario’s weekend with the kids so I kept busy. We had a Mixer at work Thursday night so I made my appearance and came home with my love :). We were invited to watch the game but we stayed home and ate junk from Jack In the Box and caught up on our shows instead :). Friday was a GREAT day at work! Sponsorships and exhibitors started coming in for one of my events and I’m so relieved. It’s always nerve wracking having to wait! I just hope every day is like Friday; then we’ll fill up for sure!

Since my love and I went to work together that day (and had lunch together at Espi’s :D), I went to make a payment at Conn’s after work (man, I can’t wait to get ish paid off!), and then I went to Old Navy since I had a coupon. I’m really upset, though, that I let $15 worth of coupons expire! Grr! BUT, I did find the two dresses I wanted for months in my size and I scooped them up before I couldn’t find them again later (like that darn black/white flowy blouse I wanted, grr.) I know “winter” (ha!) is coming and I should be buying slacks since none of mine fit but 3 pairs (the others fit me big! Hallelujah!), but it’s just so much easier and cheaper buying dresses then it is to buy slacks and a blouse. Plus, I get to wear my cute shoes :P.

I picked up my babe and Michelle called that they were at Jalapeños. Oh, that place. Strongest Margaritas (and cheapest! $1!) on the PLANET. Not joking. We went over for an hour, since his boys were on their way to the house (someone was in a hurry!). Sure enough, just like last time, darn things hit me FAST. We got home and I PASSED OUT. Then I woke up, spoke to my kiddos and couldn’t fall asleep till 2:30am. GRR!

The next morning I had my usual brunch with Sally :). We went to Le Peep this time since Jimmy’s was packed. Then we went to Lowe’s and I came home. Mom had already fed the boys and I went to HEB to grocery shop. Got home, unloaded, and started cleaning the house since we were having guests over for the boxing fight. My love got home, we finished cleaning and then we prepped the food for the BBQ. It was an exciting fight, and it was great sitting outside on the back porch watching the huge screen and eating great food :). Reminds me of our Autumn and Winter last year. I really look forward to seasons and holidays with my love and the kids, more than ever :)!

As for today, we woke up, bought menudo and barbacoa and watched football and even got to catch up on XFactor. It’s been a great, lazy day. I had time to organize my closet and plan a few of my outfits for the week :).

I need better shelves for my shoes and I need to downsize on the tank tops, heh. I didn’t even want to get the other side of the closet in the pic since it’s an unruly mess of scrapbooking boxes :P.

Mario called me around 5pm that my poor Emmos was stung by a jellyfish at the beach :(. I didn’t even know they were over there and I almost flipped out, but I kept calm. I just hope my little lady isn’t in too much discomfort. I miss them all :(! And it sucks that I’m not there to make her better, but she’ll be with me tomorrow ♥.

I got to cut my Babe’s hair earlier this evening and then I showered. When we’re walking down the hallway we embrace and he cups my face in his hands, pulls me away to look at me and says, “You’re so pretty! I like when you’re not wearing makeup.” How wonderful is that man?? He compliments me like, 50 times a day. It’s the best feeling, ever :).

We just ate dinner; buffalo chicken and mashed potatoes. I bought this Knorr seasoning packet where you toss chicken and the seasonings in a bag and bake for 35 minutes and it came out pretty darn good. Jorge and the boys cleaned their plates, so that’ll be something I’ll be buying more often :).

I’m going to finish watching this game with my love (which really means I’m going to browse through Pinterest while he watches, heh) and then we’ll hopefully get to catch up on The Voice. Maybe. I feel so sleepy! Here’s hoping this next week is a great one and I hope Monday has mercy on me!
