Eve of a New Month

Hello fellow web enthusiasts. here it is-the end of april and off to another month we go. guess what? i had to work on saturday to keep up w/the unreasonable demands of the powers that be that are too busy coming and going to "meetings" to have a realistic view of what goes on in the trenches. our goal this month was far from being reached. we tried but things happen. they are so selfish w/their overtime yet we are expected to pull off a miracle in the last week. yeah right....they wait until the last minute and come up with "hey, can i have some volunteers to work extra this week?" anyways-when all is said and done i did my best but i can't speak for the rest of the group so i won't.

went to see "scary movie 4" last weekend. how was it, you ask? well, it was alright good for a couple of laughs but it has yet to surpass the quality of the first one. but when you think about it, "quality" is not a word i'd use for the franchise.

the next movie i'm looking forward to seeing this coming month is the da vinci code. i'm tempted to say mi3 but tom cruise has become such a shady character in real life that i can't really fathom sitting through another one of this movies. his last one wasn't too good anyways. back to my original point: i'm currently reading the da vinci book and i am a few pages away from finishing it. my opinion so far? well, it's an exciting read-it's mostly a thriller about 2 people out on a scavanger hunt and it's kinda fun following the clues w/them. as far as the underlying message: who cares? everyone has a right to their opinion & as it so clearly states in the front cover, this is a work of "fiction". HELLO............get over it and get on w/discussing more important matters @ hand....like .....for example......

the silly notion that some people won't be @ work tomorrow or spend movie to show their support for the "plight" of the illegal immigrants. oh please, get a life and go to work, earn a living and pay taxes like a true citizen should. do NOT get me started people. all i have to say is that these people are giving a bad example telling others they should have the same rights and priviledges as legals do. when you start playing by the rules and stop breaking the law then we'll talk.

this is it for now, i must get going. need to get ready for another work week..

Sick Day

Hi again......just relaxing here on a nice summer afternoon. no, wait, it's still spring but damn it feels like summer already. alright, who took my spring away? anyways, took a day off from work....was feeling sick. last friday we had off too but we went to brownsville. you see, it was our 5th wedding anniversary (yeah) and we were going to go to austin for the weekend but @ the last minute it fell through. it doesn't matter why, it just did. so of course we headed south...again...for the weekend. actually, we came back saturday afternoon. we spent friday doing home improvement for the parentals. they got a shower door for their bathroom. it came out pretty good. trip was ok..took maggie so the family could meet her and after everyone oohed and aahh we came back the next day. can't say i wasn't disappointed about not going away for the weeekend but what can you do? this was the second time in a row that we had planned to get away and it ended up being put aside for a tripe to the valley. what a @#$%^. still reading stephen king's new book "cell" i'll give you my review when i finish but up until now it's pretty good. @ least it has kept my interest but i can only read it for half an hour a day and i forgot to bring it w/me this weekend so that'll have to wait. we're planning on going to see "scary movie" 4 this weekend i hope it happens. you think you make plans and bamm it goes down the drain. this month is tricia's 18th b-day and she graduates in June. hopefully we can make it down there but i'm not too sure since it's closeout x @ work, but we'll see.....we have 5 bdays this month in our family so i've been pretty busy mailing cards and stuff. bro's bday is monday so he's up next. finally mailed my income tax...looks like uncle sam owes me some $$$$ this year.

there's so many other stuff in my mind but i have to go for now--maybe i'll come back sooner this x. it seems so easy but there's always other stuff to do. one more thing, i finally got grandma's pictures from mom. we sorted them out...we'll be returning pictures that belonged to like say aunts and cousins and i kept only the really old ones (w/notes attached) and the ones w/grandma on them. i need to sort them out (or try to since no one bothered to @ least put a year to them) and put them on an album for her. we also plan to scan them and put them on a dvd to show people, you know, like a slide show. that should be nice. it's a lot to do and i've already started to sort them today. hope it goes well.

sunday is easter sunday but i don't think we'll be going to church or anything. last year we tried going to church on the rock for palm sunday expecting a big palm sunday service and stuff and all we got was a foot note at the end of the service. talk about a disappointment. we'll see what happens this year.

until next time, enjoy what little spring weather we get :)
