Greetings...my how times flies when you're chained to a desk for nine hours a day. Had to go in to work today since the month is almost up and we're still 8m short of the goal....like that's gonna happen. Anyways, almost everyone was there. Everyone that counts, that is. Julia brought tacos and Kathy brought donuts and everyone was content. With the food, that is. Left at 12:30-my usual 4 hours. We'll see what this coming week will bring.
Trish is in town this weekend but I doubt they'll contact us--we're not that important. Her bday was yesterday and she wanted to come to Fiesta Texas. Good for her. I have a necklace for her and Alyssa and I bought mom and dad the The Nativity Story DVD but the CD will go to Mary. I'll probably mail it out the weekend, the whole package. Just spending the day at home catching up on paperwork and stuff.
There wasn't much to watch this week on tv. Dancing With the Stars was new. Watched it as I celebrated that Clive was finally voted out. Now maybe the real competition can start. There was finally a perfect score handed out. Apollo and his partner got 3 10s for their samba which was awesome. Finally some real dancing. We'll see how far Billy Ray can hang on. House was pretty good too. Wasn't that weird when the kids' symptoms were because of the hormones the dad was taking?? We also got new episodes of Smallville and Supernatural. Looking forward to Monday was Heroes is all new episodes. Supposedly the show got a second season so unfortunately the last episode of this season will of course be a cliffhanger like all the others.
Was reading the newspaper this morning, trying to catch up w/the news I might have missed. Yeah, there are actually people who still read the newspaper. I get my news from all sources but I still like the paper for the comics. :) Reading about the shootings down in Virginia. Unfortunately you get famous faster for being bad than for being good. Everyone will know this guy's name from now on because he shot and killed over 30 people. Some people spend their whole lives doing good and will die virtual strangers. Go figure. God help us all. Yeah, that's right, I said GOD. Deal w/it.
Planned to go shopping this weekend since it was payday yesterday and we came into some extra cash but there was an unexpected expense that burst my bubble. Oh well, maybe next time I'll actually spend the money on myself. There was an exhibit opening today down at the Institute of Texan Cultures but I didn't want to go by myself. Add that to the list of things I missed.
Gotta go, there's plenty more stuff to do.

Spring Is In The Air
BBBBBRRRRR Spring? Yeah right. Here is the day before Easter when everyone dresses in their best spring outfit and outside it's cold and raining. Yeah, that's right....who would have thought that it'd be cold this time of year. But alas it's only temporary because, this being South Texas, it'll be in the eighties again by Tuesday. So there you go, enjoy your Easter the best way you can. Speaking of which, yeah, I said "Easter". Did you hear what the fanaticals for freedom from religion are doing now. They want to rename the Easter Bunny "Peter Rabbit" because it sounds too religious. As if bunny rabbits, eggs, and chocolate have anything to do with the real Easter. Go figure. I guess they had too much time on their hands since butchering CHRISTMAS and had nothing better to do in between holidays. Get a real job.
Guess what today is? Our wedding anniversary. six years and counting. Too bad the weather outside is nothing like the original date but when you're in love it's always sunny...
Been busy these past few weeks. Last weekend went to see Premonition w/Sandra Bullock. It was okay, nothing we haven't seen before. If you haven't seen it I had to spoil it for you but in the end her husband still dies. So much for that, huh? TV has been pretty boring because of all the reruns but Fridays are okay for now. I get to watch Identity (the game show) and Raines, the new Jeff Goldblum detective show. Don't want to get too attached because you know how soon a show gets pulled if it doesn't generate the required 20 million viewers to stay on the air. The good news is that tomorrow is Sunday and I get to watch Dresden. Heroes should be back on the 23rd if i can remember where it left off (i do). The new season of Dancing With The Stars and already two have been voted off-the model and the Ms America. Not a big surprise since no one knows who they are anyways. And did you catch the model (see, i don't even remember her name) try to bring out her inner latina to do the mambo. ha ha what a laugh. Monday is the next round of dances and we'll see what happens. Now, even if you're like me and have not seen American Idol you know who Sanjaya is, right? Well, he's still in the competition which many have said has downspiraled into a popularity contest instead of a singing competition. Well, duh...
Have a couple of pictures to share with you:
This is our first rose of the season. We have a few bushes of yellow, white and red. This season I have decided to cut them before the damn deer get to them. Sometimes they come into our yard and eat everything they can included these beautiful flowers so it was decided that we'll clip them and enjoy them before they are so savagely butchered. Took some to work to display on my desk. Everyone ooohed and aaahed. Maybe Monday I'll take some fresh ones but I guess it can wait until the old ones wilt a bit. Plus, on Friday Marta shared some from her garden and they all looked so nice it's a shame they gotta die, but oh, well.
This is Maggie enjoying a nice sunny day in South Texas. Yeah, she managed to stay still for one second enough for me to shoot this shot. It's like she's saying, okay, enough of this, I want to go and play :) She's doing pretty good. Just turned a year old and growing every day. Okay, so she won't get too big but you know what I mean.
I think I'll spend today indoors, it's too yucky to go anywhere anyways. You'd have to be insane to go anywhere near the stores today. Everyone out there doing their last minute shopping before tomorrow plus all the annoying shoppers from out of town who think they own the place. Sometimes it's best to just stay away until they go back home....if they do at all....Oh, guess what, I gave out goodie bags @ work on Friday. I got some baggies and tons of chocolate eggs, bunnies and stuff and just filled them up. Gave them out in the morning cuz i only worked until 12. I know, some people don't deserve to get stuff but that's not for me to decide. Besides, it's called office politics. The situation right now is so volatile that i just don't want to stir the pot any more than i have to.
This month we have tons of birthdays in our family. Marcos just turned 16 this week and next week is Alyssa's 13th (wow), Alex's 5th and guess who turns 40 this year. ha ha that's right. Anyways, Trish turns 19 this year. Yeah, wow, I feel old when my nieces/nephews are now teenagers. I might send Alyssa one of the necklaces i made, we'll see how I feel about it next week. Nowadays I take things one day at a time. It's the only way to cope.
With April in the air it's time for Fiesta although since I'm not a native.....i just don't get it, but if others do...well...they can party all they want. Go for it!!!
Until next time, I wanted to put this phrase on my computer at work but thought better of it: "Abandon all hope all ye who enter through these gates" That's from Dante's Inferno. How apt , huh??
