Well, Thursday was the last concert in the concert under the stars series at the sabot http://sabot.org and i didn't make it. again. it just just way too hot to be outdoors, plus Joel had to work a little bit late and i just didn't feel like rushing. I really do want to make it there this coming weekend for their Dog Days of Summer when you can take your animal companions on a stroll in the park. It starts really early in the morning 8:00am so it shouldn't be too hot at that time of day.
Went to go see Cowboys & Aliens yesterday and I really liked it. Of course, anything having to do with aliens I'm game for. It kind of reminded me of Independence Day in the sense that the aliens are mining earth for its resources (this time gold)--that's why it was set in the Old West. The 'good guys' join forces with the 'bad guys' for just long enough to defeat the aliens (again, by blowing up the alien craft from within). the only original idea was that the character played by Olivia Wilde is an immortal alien that followed the other aliens to earth to defeat them after they destroyed her planet/people so that they wouldn't do it again to other planets and she's the one that blew up the aliens ship. She was in there at the moment so i don't know if she did die this time since earlier in the film she gets killed but then comes back to life.
Went shopping today and bought a nice dress and a couple of pairs of shoes. It would have been three but they didn't have my size, or course, that's why they have these big sales because the only sizes left are bigfoot sizes.
Well, another week of work to look forward to: UGH!
Saturday it was Luisito's birthday and his wedding. I hear the gf is preggo. Oh well, kids nowadays. Wish we could have been able to go but frankly the idea of traveling just, ugh, puts me off, i'm tired of it. These are the times when i wish we lived in town, but then i come to my senses and say, whew, i'm glad i don't live anywhere near them. Too much family drama, that's one of the reasons i left...no, not left...ran. too funny

Happily at home
Woke up in one of my moods and decided to stay home from work today. Aware that this is the internet, i won't go into details.....
Yesterday was mom's birthday so i gave her a call. Sunday they had the party, since she turned 70 they wanted to celebrate in grande style. It was on a Sunday so i couldn't go, but i guess that's how they planned it...nevermind.
the last of the concerts under the stars is this week at SABOT. http://sabot.org I really want to go to this one because The Krayolas are playing. Next weekend is the Dog Days of Summer when you can take your dog in. It's from 8am to 5pm so i want to be there at 8 and just take Tracy and walk around a little bit, get her some fresh air. It's not too hot at that time in the morning, so it looks promising. In August they're having classic movies too, like "Some Like it Hot." That kind of classic movies. :)

Boring Thursday
But at least tomorrow's Friday and I won't have to think about work for a couple of days. Had dinner tonight at Pizza Huthttp://pizzahut.com so i am so full right now, until 9pm when i'll be starving again. It's funny cause the pizza we order is always the same: medium thin and crispy, half veggie lovers, half meat lovers. Our Yin and Yan, that way we both get what we want, but today i subbed the onions with pineapple, OMG, that was so yummy. okay, i'm hungry again.
Finally made contact with Emma from high school this week and what's better, she's gonna be in town for a week so i get to see her after so many years. She's got a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old & they had birthdays recently and she's giving them a party on Saturday here in SA and she invited me. Cool, so i get to see her and hit a pinata. too funny, i'll probably be seeing her during the week too, hopefully.
Bought a web cam this week but i haven't really used it much on Facebook cause a)not too many people have one or b)they don't want me to see them w/out make-up :)
Today there were two cool events: Flamenco dancing/show at Luna http://lunalive.com and Concert Under the Stars at SABOT http://sabot.org but the former starts too late (9:30pm--hey, we do have to get up early tomorrow morning) and the latter is outdoors and it is just too hot to do much of anything outdoors. That's why I'm bored at home. Anyone wanna chat? Anyone? Boo-hoo

Short work week
I just love short work weeks. We had Monday off for the fourth of July but i gues that makes the week much longer since we don't have that much work. Luckily I have Monday off again because i have a third visit to the dentist coming. I had five, count them, five cavities, albeit small ones. Better than a root canal any day. Went to the valley this weekend for Marisa's quinicianera. Even though the decorations were cool it was a long day.
That's the quincianera Marisa with her dad Ricardo-my brother in law.
This was one of the setting for people to take pictures on. somehow I never quite got the chance to take a picture of us..oh well

Last week was the highly anticipated Mana concert--went with Sylvia cause I still can't get Joel to go with me w/out him complaining about how loud it is or w/out me cringing through the whole thing thinking it's too loud for him. but i loved it. it was so awesome, except the whole Viva Mexico crap going on, but in their defense, they ARE from Mexico, so i just ignored it. Now the audience, well...anyways, it went until 11:30 or so. Needless to say I got very little sleep that night, i was a little sleepy the next day at work but it was worth it.
This is a close up of Fher and Alex
This is a far view of the stage. I have to admit, it was really spectacular.

I believe this is one of the guitarist, too bad I don't know his name off hand. Oh well, but he was pretty good.
Can't wait for the next concert. As of now my calendar is clear, but...maybe Santana in August, still trying to decide on that.
Tomorrow is the Picnic at the Garden--free admitance for the public to go relax in the garden and have a picnic. Aw, how romantic. We'll see
