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!!
