My Practical Niece


Eighth Happy Holiday's!

It's Christmas day. I am so excited, I love the whole togetherness time with Family and friends. I hope yours is going well and whatever your traditions are you enjoying them this year. We made Tamales, Rice crispy treats snicker doodles  and played games. I just realized I only press the space bar with my right thumb lol. I am using my moms computer and her space bar makes a huge racket every time you press it I tried to use my left hand after I type with my left hand and that didn't work lol then I tried every other word and boy it was taking forever to figure out what thumb went last lol. So I am back to right thumb only =) Sorry for all the "lols". Anyways. I have a few moments to catch you up on the latest and greatest in my life.


The first thing I would like to let you know is that I have been to quit a few little shindigs for Christmas. Met some cool new people and had some new food as well. I love hanging out and seeing all the new shoes and cool outfits people wear in the winter, Some you can tell are not so comfortable. I played so many games recently and I think I'm a pro too. Many laughs and of unbelievable moments where you can swear that someone is cheating, Because there is no way No stink'n way he had the whole run of 9 and was able to go out when you had not even had your turn. (Not fair!). Many new relationships have sprung up and I am excited to see what happens this next year. I will be turning 29 this next year and I am hopping to have something fresh and fun to tell you by then. I really don't know what but it will be those two things Fresh and Fun.

The weather outside is frightful and its perfect.I love it to be all raining and grey.We have not started a fire in the house as the little ones are to young to know better and we don't want to chance it.I just came back from a weekend in the snow.It was magical. I really was in awe at how the snow just blanketed everything. I'ts been awhile since I have been in the snow so I was like the true California girl my eyes wide and blinking  saying "Oh Wow its so beautiful and utterly cold". Me and a few of  my primas hung out in the cabin, at Kmart and several local food joints. We did hit up the slopes just not as hard core as you might think lol. FYI: I am not the Sporty one.

As I type this I can hear the rain falling on the top of my parents house.Its a nice feeling. I was recently laid off my job and I am searching for a new job.I am keeping my spirits up and not being to picky about where I apply too.It's not an easy feeling when you know someone is depending on you however I depend on God so it makes it a little more bearable.We have to believe in something to have Hope,, With all this out of control emotions and situations we as a World are facing. Hope is what helps to wake in the morning and try it again.

Last little thing on my mind.I wanted to tell you a fun story. I attend the gym  about 3 times a week sometimes 4 depends on what I have going on. My classes of interest are spinning and Yoga. I used to attend Zumba but the class is held an hour later and its ridiculously full. So I have been faithfully busting my butt in yoga. I am not a bendy person but my instructor told me that "its not that you're not good at, it its that you're body needs to began to grow in the Journeys you take each class". I'm hecka smiling right now because that's exactly what she said to me word for word. BTW she is amaaaazing! So anyways back to my story. There's this guy that works at the gym, extremely intelligent looking and handsome as ever and every time I come in he has a towel ready for me  and says "have a good work out". I know I know he does that for every one but I just get a little flutter in my belly when he says that to me. So anywho I was at the local Grocery store yesterday around 5pm trying to get my last shopping done, and guess who works there... I was like wait is that Mr. Gym Guy. Gasp it is! Well I hurried up and grabbed everything I needed and rushed to get in his line. I couldn't believe it he was wearing the cutest Christmas sweater ever! It was clay blue with Tan Snow flakes on it. I was a little preoccupied with my niece but I said Hi (When it was my turn) and asked him if he works at the gym as well he said yes, and you go to spinning class right? Ooooh my word he remembers me! I answered a sweet demurely yes, even tho I wasn't sure he heard over the weddings bells going off in my head lol. I said bye and wished him a Merry Christmas as he shouted over the intercom for someone to come help me out to my car. That little flutter back in my belly was going crazy as I walked out in the light misty rain searching frantically for my keys.( I don't know why I cant put them in the same pocket of my purse). I went over our conversation as I waited for my car defroster to clear my windshield. In the backseat my niece was going on and on about  how come the guy who helped us to our car had told her to go to sleep so Santa would bring her gifts. I had asked if he quit working at the gym and he said No, the he has 2 jobs and that the gym was his part time. Also he wasn't done Christmas shopping. Poor guy he was super busy. (Did that mean he has a girl to shop for or a big Familia?)  I would have to wait and see wouldn't I.   "Tia Cece Santa can not come in our house.We don't like strangers" I reminded Milly that no Santa was not coming and that yes she can open her presents in the morning. She is a very practical one. Love her to pieces. So there's my little tale of how I found some Christmas cheer and I hope it last until I see him again. I wonder what put a smile on your face this Christmas.

I will write again soon and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!

Seventh

Love

Here is where my heads at today. I have been taking into consideration that sometimes you may have to make your own fairytale come true. I am not really a Pessimist however I have felt the light dim in my eyes over the years when it comes to the topic Love. To many times I have been the witness to betrayal, lies and bad choices made ending Marriages in breakups, one night stands and cold very cold marriages when they choose not to separate for whatever reasons. Since I can remember I  have had a dream in my head that I'm worried is fading, You know how after waking in the morning or from a nice nap you realize you dreamed (I rarely do) so you try to recall and all you have are bits and pieces. I want hurry and find someone who will help make that dream come true before I can not remember the dream any more and just get married because he's good looking or because I'm tired of being alone. Here's the question, Is it okay to fall for someone and not be attracted to him. I mean really not feel anything inside when you look at him. It's when you started talking and was able to witness first hand what he was passionate about and witnessed a transformation in him that caused a "hhm" in your little time together.  I ONLY ask because I have this feeling that I would die if I knew my husband did not find me beautiful. Is that weird? I really have a lot of insecurities and knowing that they're might be 10 girls in the restaurant that he finds prettier then me would be oh so sad. So would it be wrong to start a relationship where you fear you would be doing the same thing to him?  Is it true that with time you will come to be attracted and fall in love??? or is it always like this and you get over it and just live life with someone who completes you in every way he just doesn't look like Ryan Gosling. That last part was for fun lol.

I'll write again soon. Thanksgiving is next week. Yikes! also it's someone's very specials birthday. I wonder what I shall get them? Maybe a nice pair of boots or a purse. =) we shall see... I love shopping for this person so it will be a pleasure.

maybe I should write about my new place... Next time. Until then thank you for stopping by and reading. Love

Sixth

I see you,
Its been a few eventful weeks. I am moving today and I wont be moving with my unmentionable =( extremely sad about that. Also I have been following Hurricane Sandy the past few days and I am so shocked as I know a lot of people are. Such a massive lost, setback and unbelievable tragedy. I am not sure anyone  foreseen this  happening before the end of 2012. We are days away from election and this hurricane is going to be a very huge impact on everything. My prayers are with everyone who has been affected by Hurricane Sandy. I will write again soon. Hug

5th

Autumn
Hot Coco in the evening and warm sunny afternoons. Just perfect. I had a melancholy occasion when I seen a couple standing in the line at my local Wal mart in work out gear buying 22 cans of Tuna and some light mayo. When am I going to be in that situation? Deep breath in and breathe all that black bile out. Not needed in my little heart. Aaaah! much better. I seen some boots that's exactly what I need. I should be saving up for new working out shoes. However I have visited many different sports stores and tried on various different tennis shoes. I just can not see paying that much money for such an ugly shoe. I am the girl who would rather be barefoot then put on tennis shoes. I own a wonderful collection of heels. I do not go in debt or anything but I love heels and the thought of spending money on tennis shoes makes me think that my 3 year old, once upon a time white sneakers are not that bad (never mind that I have begun to take them off outside after the gym because I suspect a funny smell when they are in the house just after my work out). Sheesh! Maybe I should take up yoga. They always take off their shoes. Oh whats a girl supposed to do? I'm reading up on Barre3 that looks promising. Anyways It's grey and a bit cold out all of a sudden. I hope your weekend is full of sweaters and warm memories as we head into our Autumn season. Thanks for reading

The Door, I wrote about in my first posting.

Fourth

So its Friday! That's probably the one thing I can get excited about every time I say it, all though I said six days ago and I was just as excited. Something about being able to be lazy the next day, well depending on your plans I have to wake up at 6am tomorrow (sad face). I am not complaining because even though its early I can say that its a day off from work. I don't know about any of you out there, but lately just going to work has been a chore. I am very glad to have a job. However sometimes I have to remind myself that this is not forever so just go and you'll see it will be worth it in the end. I am also very blessed to be working with some great people. Its funny how much time you actually spend with Co-workers. If you were a math wiz and wanted to see how much time you spend with co-workers I'm sure you would be surprised at the amount of time it ended up being. Another thing is you can go years working with people and never really truly know them. I keep reading about these people who lose their job and days later come back only to seek revenge. Lives have been lost because of this. We don't really know or take the time to get to know people we work side by side everyday. Please don't think I am saying we are at fault because people lose it and do terrible things. What I am saying is that maybe we could have seen some sign or been more aware of this impending doom and instead of saying I never thought this would happen or well that person was kinda quiet and kept to themselves or was a bit of a loner. We can say I tried several time to converse or invite them to lunch. I don't know maybe that's not what we should do either. If that's the case then I wonder if its that easy to go through life living in the same house and having children with someone and still not know them either. That seems like a waste right? I would feel like I spent my life with someone who didn't care to figure me out or get know me. There would be a void in my heart.

On another note. I have a a song playing in the back ground It's Big Jet Plane. I love songs that are so simple but yet speak volumes. I am eating an Apple and thinking about this weekend. I want to be outside for sure. So a few friends have requested we go to the city. I am in agreement. So maybe you have plans for this weekend maybe you don't. My unmentionable sent me an email this week and this phrase was included in it. When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things the chance to catch up. I'm pretty sure that was on Pinterest. I'll  leave you with this. Whatever you do, Do it with all thine might.  Me

Third

This is a really nice day out, Of course I am not out I'm in the office and I only now it's nice out because I stepped out for lunch.  I am writing today and I must admit I have no topic, few things on my mind and I can go through and just kinda summarize which seems like a good Idea, so first on my mind is this Black and white party I am hosting Friday, Its for a close friend and her brother, we have been planning it for about 2 months and I've already sent out the evite. Plus getting together for random meet ups with different people in the know, for ideas of games and fun stuff like that. My only fear is to take it to far. Like I am not wanting it to be perfect but at least go according to plan and what if her family member decides to take control. I'm not to new to hosting parties, but this is a new crowd so anything is possible. Shoot me now!! 

Next would be relationships. I think mentioned there might be someone... Well he is not giving me any signals. We have been talking for like 2 months and I have been very clear with him. Meaning I am very nice. I know being nice is not a sign since everyone should be nice (I can hear my Tia saying this to her daughter) but I don't mean that kind I mean girly/flirty/talk I am listening nice. You see I don't give my time to guys who are not worth it. I cant even think of accepting an invitation to eat with someone who I do not enjoy talking to. I am not rude no but lets just say I have not given my number out to often. So here I am really trying to be available with this guy and he just doesn't seem to be wanting to do more then chat every now and then. Also he keeps mentioning another someone. Aaaah! so I am standing my ground and I will remain nice and keep him on my good list ha. He is supposed to be in attendance at this party so I hope to make some head way. (Happy) However that other someone will be in attendance as well. (I want to hide under a big fluffy blanket). Wish me luck.

Second

Hey there,
I am just taking a minute out of my day to write. I have been thinking about this a lot so I am going to share. Long term goals, this has been on my mind more and more lately and non to soon I might add this morning while doing my hair for work I found a grey hair, On my head!!! I swear to god. I was so shocked I think I said Oh My GOD like 12 times and I was like just standing there for  forever it seemed and all of a sudden I just begin to freak out. Now I have had this elephant sitting on my chest since yesterday morning ( but that's a whole other topic). I think the elephant just kinda laid done on my chest and I was like I'm only 28 years old this is NOT fair I know that we are not supposed to let it get to us and we are supposed to age with this grace that apparently only we have. However I didn't feel to graceful as I screamed. I am not even Married yet! ha ha and that brings me back to my original topic. I am a huge fan of wedding blogs. Snippet and Ink and the Martha Stewart site. I can look and read about weddings all day. Some make me cry some make me laugh. I dream about my day and how it will go. Will we have a traditional wedding or a me wedding? ha! and don't get me started on the dress or if he can see me before the actual ceremony. I have all these visions and I'm very excited these days. I couldn't even say because I think he's going to pop the question. He? There is no he. I know that's super sad and kinda heard to believe however its a fact. I have great guy friends and that's not a problem I just don't even have a bf. What a funny post this is. I hope this doesn't turn into like a dairy I never thought I would keep. I was in this beauty supply store over the weekend and I seen the magazine The Knot and I began to flip through the pages and they had some amazing gowns in there. I honestly liked them. So I have a few Ideas of the dress I want and yes I will have sleeves. Life is flying by me at warp speed all of a sudden. Which is why I wanted to take a break and just let you know that no matter where you are in life right now your not alone and I officially have grey in my hair. I am typing so hard right now my coworkers giving me looks :) So sit up and smile for me and you.  Oh and there might be someone... maybe. Talk to you soon.

First


Not to brag but, this is going to be the most fun I have ever had.  I am supposed to be taking a test right now but the system is down. (don't ya hate when that happens) I always dream (side note I am a HUGE dreamer) sorry back to what I was saying. I have had this recurring dream that I have a blog and so I thought since I am just sitting here waiting for an email to come in, what better thing to do then make a dream come true.(check that off my list of to do's. Make a dream come true today check) I love how that works. I am done with the dishes. I know I know I am pretty down to earth right? I should be at the gym... I know that means I'm also lazy but just for tonight. I think that I deserve it. It been a long summer and now I'm ready to start something new and fresh. Something out of the ordinary and just go with it. The last time I did that was, well last Thursday actually. Kinda sooner then I thought. (hhm maybe I should think this through a bit more) well what I did was I was missing a certain someone (who shall remain unnamed until I get permission, this is So fun) and I knew that we have both been kinda feeling down about this home we are in at the moment, so I went with this sudden feeling of boldness and I painted the front door of our little casita. (I'm smiling right now) the color I used is a color that we are in LOVE with at the moment. I was a bit apprehensive at first and then I was super excited and then I was freaking out because I was struck with this thought. "what if my unmentionable hates it"! (I'm crying now), Sheesh I go from one extreme to the next. well needless to say. It was a hit! not like "Oooh lets never change it' but like "I don't hate it" type of a hit. I need to say I am NOT a creative soul, nor do I claim to be. I just simply do what I want and if I need to I call my sister over I will and she does it for me like a pro. (Luv her!). So here is my start of something don't know what yet but I'm super excited
