I'm out for a bit...*edited*

**had to add one more vidio, it's at the end and it's the best one! So watch it!**
Well my husbands vacations started today so I won't be posting as much. I start my vacation on Monday. When JD's home I don't get to be on the computer as much. And we'll probably be taking some day trips with the kids to different places.

So in leaving you for a bit I have these videos for you......they are of my most favorite show Grey's Anatomy. To either refresh your memory of the best show and get you as excited as I am for Sep. 21. Or to show you what your missing and get you excited to watch it for the first time. Cause if this isn't one of your shows, you are soooo missing out!

I'm baaaacccckkkkk!

HI everyone! I'm back. OMG I hate not having service. It really sucks. You don't know how much I missed being here. I have so many blogs to catch up on. I hope you all have good stuff for me to go read now. lol.
I really had it out with Comcast.
We had a huge storm on Friday night and it knocked out our phone and Internet service. We didn't get to call about it till Sunday since J had his B-day party and all on Saturday. So anyway, we call and they have us do all these tests and all on the computer and it still didn't work, so they said they'd send a technician out on Monday between 3 and 7. Don't you know after I spend my entire afternoon at home waiting they show up at 6:45. Uggg. The guy comes in does his thing, goes outside and does his thing and tells us that it's a outside line and it's there fault. Duh. And they will have my service up by that night.
Tuesday morning rolls around and guess what??? No service! I wanna kill them. So after being on hold for 25 min. talking to three people for a total of an hour I get told that it will be done within 24 hours. Well I'm not happy about waiting but okay.
Surprise surprise, I wake up this morning with still NO SERVICE! And mind you my phone is out too, so I'm running up all kinds of minutes on my cell phone. After again talking forever to two different people guess what I'm told????? "sorry mama, but you should be talking to a different department" What the FUCK!!!! Are you kidding me? After 5 freaking days they are only telling me this NOW???? I wanted to hurt someone. I flipped on the manager, yup that's right I got the manager on the phone. I'm all "do you even train your workers???? Why am I only getting this information now???" Totally flipped. Anyway, after talking to the RIGHT department it was fixed within 2 hours. They bumped it up to priority and had a technician come right out.

So tell me. Did you miss me and all my ranting and complaining??? Cause let me tell you I'm all bottled up here, I've got a lot more to vent about. lol. Stay tuned.

**Oh and by the way I'm talking on the phone to Rene when I took that picture of myself. lol.

JD and my birthday dinner

He's such a cutie isn't he!
Monday was my birthday, as you all know, so JD said we'd go out for dinner. My mom and sister came over to stay with the kids. I wanted to go to The Cheesecake Factory. JD swears he knows how to get there. Did her? Nope....Did he let me call a freind to ask how to get there? Nope. Okay so you may think I was getting annoyed but really for some reason I wasn't. But I was really really hungry. So finally after a million wrong turns I get to call someone. Turns out we did pass it once. Don't know how, it is huge. But anyway. We get in at around 7:10pm, they say it's a 15-30 min. wait. Okay, I can handle that.
.....35 min. later......I walk up to the hostess and ask when we're gonna be seated, we have been there over the time she told me. She says they are a little backed up and it should be 10 more minutes.
........15 min. later.......I'm getting pissed! I am hungry! It's my damn birthday! FEED ME!!!! I get kinda bitchy when I'm hungry.
FINALLY after over an hour wait we are seated.
From this point on there is really no complaints. We got to sit outside, which made me happy. It was freezing inside. We got these really yummy buffalo chicken appetizers, they were like shredded buffalo chicken fried served with hot sauce and blue cheese. We both go Mojitos (did I spell that right???), JD got this yummy orange glazed chicken, and I got Jamaican Black bean Shrimp with Mango salsa. See told you I love anything mango. Ha ha. Then I got Key Lime cheese cake. OMG to die for. I hate cheese cake, but this??? You couldn't even tell. It was sooo freaking good. We didn't end up getting home till around 10pm. But we had a good time. We don't get to go out alone much, so it was a nice birthday treat.

Dear Jazz's Readers,

This is a sticky!

Hey everyone, Dylan from Coffee House Banter (on Jazz's sidebar) here, just stopping by to let you guys know that Jazz is having issues with her internet connection at home, so until she gets her crap fixed, she won't be around much on the blog front...so ha ha on you guys, I get to talk to her all the time and keep in touch with her until she gets back and you don't, okay I'm just kidding, but she's promised to try to get her stuff fixed on the home front and come back and soon as she can.

Have a good day, week or however long it takes for Jazz to fix her internet!

Sincerely,
Dylan on behalf of Jazz.

A link to my girl with a little added to it.....Porn - yay or nay.

So my girl Holly posted this blog up and I wanna expound on it a bit. She asks what you think of porn. Yay, nay? What's your thoughts?

Well I also wanna know. First do you think it's an okay thing? Do you dislike it if others watch it? Do you have a preference, you know like the kind you order on TV where they 'pretend' to do things but never really do. Or the live porn stuff that you see mostly online. And how bout pictures vs. videos? Or even stories, it's basically the same thing.

So basically I'm asking the same things as Holly but just a little more in depth.

Me? I'll admit the truth, I look at it online occasionally, I'd prefer to read it though. I don't know why. I think I just like to imagine it myself more. I'd prefer my husband not look at it, but I'm not stupid I know he does on occasion. I know it's a double standard to say I do but don't want him to. But somehow (sexist or not) I think a girl can look at it every once in awhile and whatever. But a guy? I think they get addicted. And I feel like if he's looking at that then being with me .... well I sure as hell don't look like the porn stars, so is he picturing someone else? Give me info on this guys!

What Were You Expecting?: Silly MM and A Question...

My Story...

Well I wanted to blog about 'what if's' in life but I figured I'd give you my story first. Then talk about 'what if's' since I seem to run them through my head sometimes, about my own life.

I grew up in a Christian home, I was always at church functions, youth group the whole nine yards. And I loved it, I wasn't one of those kids forced into going, I had great friends, and my church was fun. I wasn't a naive teen either, although I went to a Christian school I lived in the City. I had lots of friends in my neighborhood, so believe me I wasn't sheltered. So anyway, I had boyfriends, lots of boyfriends, but I was never the girl that went 'all the way' with the guys, and they knew it. I never experimented with drugs, but for some odd reason I dated (if you can call it that, we just made out never went anywhere) a few guys that sold them. I always felt like I could be the one to 'save them from their ways'. lol.

Moving on to when I was 16....I meet JD at church. He was dating another girl. Actually the sister of a friend of mine, but I didn't know her. I actually thought JD's brother was cute and was looking at him. Well after JD and his girlfriend broke up he and I started to talk. Just as friends but it soon became apparent that we were both attracted to each other. So March 21, 1998 JD and I were officially a couple. Now this in my mind would be my first real boyfriend. Not the first guy I kissed or made out with or anything like that. But the first boyfriend to take me out on dates, take me to his house to meet the family. You know all that. He had just turned 17 the beginning of that month and I was to turn 17 in August.

We dated with only two break-ups through our junior year in high school and through our senior year too. We'd talk about marriage in general terms, such as we knew we'd always be together so of course one day we'd marry. But we didn't go looking at rings, and I never asked him about it. For that matter I never really thought about it much. But about a month after we graduated, on June, 30, 1999 I was proposed to. Now I'm not going to go into it all right now, I'll do a separate post on that. But anyway....on with the story.

My parents had gotten married when my dad was 20 and my mom 18. They are still together, 27 years now. JD's parents got married a lot later in life, his dad was married before and had two kids from that marriage. So needless to say my parents voice their concerns on us being so young, but were happy for us and gave us their blessing. JD's parents were sooooo far from happy it wasn't even funny. They basically flipped. There were family meetings over this and the whole nine yards. But we were young and determined to do what we wanted. So the wedding date was set.

July, 8, 2000 I was married! It was so much fun. The new Condo, my own furniture and yard, and bills (yes bills, I was excited to have my own. lol) just everything. We had decided before we got married to wait 5 years to have kids. After we got married we shortened it to 2 years. Then a couple we knew were having a lot of trouble getting pregnant and supposedly at the time the doctor thought it could have been her birth control and all this stuff. So JD and I got scared and basically decided to leave it to nature and not take any birth control.......Our first Christmas.....I take a pregnancy test.....I'm pregnant! Merry Christmas everyone! We were soooo happy! J was born August 21, 2001. J's first birthday comes and ..... I take another pregnancy test.....I'm pregnant again! And this time it was a shock, I was on Birth control. Granted they were a very low dosage (since I had just stopped nursing J), and I was horrible at remembering all the time, but still we were shocked. I got over my shock fast and was happy again. JD took a bit more to get used to the fact that we were going to have two kids 21 months apart. March 30, 2003 A was born.

So now I've been married 6 years, with a 5 year old, and 3 1/2 year old. And I am only 25 (or will be in 5 days) and sometimes I just wonder....."What if..." I didn't get married, what if JD and I just dated and we each went off to college? Would we have ended up married eventually? Would I have my babies? Would I be living in Jersey? Would I be richer? Who would I be with? All these what if's. It can boggle the mind, it really can. I try not to dwell on it much but for some reason today it was just on my mind. I love my husband to death, and my children too. I wouldn't trade them for the world. I have so much to be thankful for and I am but sometimes you just have to wonder....what if......don't you?

So I've read 30 and actually own 17 of them and just haven't gotten to them. Not to bad, huh?

OMG I need HELP!

Okay here is my delima! My son is starting part time kindergarten in September, and I want to put my daughter in pre-school, and J in a after school program. I want to do that because I really think A would benefit from it and J too, they aren't around other kids much. Where we live isn't really swarming with children. And also I am sick of working retail. I want a real job. You know. I hate the hours I work, I hate working every weekend. I hate the entire atmosphere at my job. It just doesn't make me happy. Also I never have time with my entire family. I am home with the kids during the day, then JD gets home and I go to work. Yeah, the kids see us both, but we are never ALL together. So I need a real job. What do I do??? I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE!
When I was engaged to JD I worked at a mortgage company doing clerical stuff, and then I worked at a doctors office doing medical records stuff. After that I got pregnant and have only worked part time off and on. So it's been retail. It's been about 5 years now. I am so lost. I don't know what I want to do, or what I even can do. Nothing sounds interesting, or if it does it sounds scary. I'm almost afraid to put myself out there.
I need to get on it now though. School starts in just a few weeks, and I wanted to do this all at the same time.
I never went to college, I am sorry only because a lot of jobs have that as a requirement. I don't wish I went though, I always new it wasn't for me. So I really don't know. Any suggestions? OR helpful hints? Or encouragement? SOMETHING??? Especially any other stay-at-home moms that have ventured out into the work world after so long. How did you do it? What did you do???

I don't know why I did this since I just realized I already did a 50 Things about me post. They are a bit differant though. Oh well, now you know 150 things about me. Lucky you! lol.

Twice this week!

Morons have tried to pick me up! Let me give you a run down of both. They are both ridiculously lame.

Okay background info, I work in a jewelry store. We clean jewelry from us or not, we cannot turn someone away. It really sucks cause we have those guys with their ghetto chains and rings coming in. So this is what happened the other day.

First Guy~
I'm at work (oh, I'm wearing a straight black skirt, slit in back, black strappy high heels, white cami, with a sort grey jacket) and these three guys walk up. I ask them how they are and if I can help them (I already see the one guy checking me out). One guy pulls out a BAG full of ghetto jewelry and is like "you clean jewelry, right?"
Me~ "Sure."
Him~ Cool, here you go." (handing me all his ghettoness)
So I turn to go to the cleaner and I hear the one guy say "Damn!" I ignore them all. While at the cleaner I go to put my hair up so it doesn't get in my face as I'm cleaning his jewelry and I hear "I'll do that for you mami." So finally I turn and look him dead in the eye and say "Excuse me?" and he's all "You Spanish?" Me "I'm half Puerto Rican." Him "I knew it from that sexy ass walk of yours." Me "Hmmm, really? I didn't' know you could tell nationalities from the way one walks!" and I turn away. Gave him his stuff and walked to the back of the store. Okay how lame was that? He could tell what I was cause of my 'sexy ass walk'??? Get a new pick up line!


Okay now, I work in jewelry and know the rules to follow, but I rarely do! But the other day I tried to remember, so before getting in the shower I took off my wedding and engagement rings and put them on the counter. What did that result in? Me forgetting to put the back on and went to work with my cheaters ring only (the tan line on my ring finger). And this is what happened.

Second Guy~
I greet a customer and ask him if I can help him. He looks at me and smiles and says I helped him with his wife's gift last year. I smile and pretend to remember him. So on we go, he's looking for a gift for his daughter. So he's smiling and joking and on and on. So finally after about 45 min. of BS he settles on a ring. I'm about to ring it up and he's all. "So are you married?" Me "Yup! Six years now." and he's all "OH, where's your rings?" Me, "forgot them on the counter at home, I hate that." Him "Well I'm glad your married." Me, "oh?" Him, "yeah I was thinking, damn she better be taken or that's a waste of a fine woman." Me (tight smile) "Thanks, here's your purchase. Have a nice night." Walk away.

OMG, is it me or are all men's pickup lines just plain horrible???

......ThE gUy RooM!!!......

JD has forever wanted a 'guy room', you know a place to put up all his football stuff that he buys and I don't let him put anywhere else in the house. lol. So he's finally got it. His urge for one always becomes bigger right around preseason stuff for football, and since I am going to Vegas in November I figured why not. So the loft is his. It used to be the kids playroom but they were mostly just going up there getting toys and bringing them down to the living room or their room, so what the heck. The only rule? He had to keep two things up there. That big blue ball rolling game thing you see in this picture, cause it's to big to put anywhere else in the house and the kids love it. And J's basket ball thing. It's just a plastic hoop but I don't want it down stairs. So here's a picture...

It's so not done, obviously. You can still see the blue paint tape up. He painted the back wall grey (for the eagles) side walls white, and will hang all his eagles stuff up on the grey wall. He actually went to Home Dept and got "Eagles Grey" paint. *rolling eyes* And the football rug? lol, that used to be in J's room, we bought it for him. ha ha. And the sofa table you see in front of the window? yeah, that's coming down stairs, I just have to stain it first. It doesn't match the wood I have in the rest of the house. And that's J's recliner kinda just sitting there randomly, so cute it matches JD's to a T. And here's another angle of the room.

Oh and quick story behind that busted up fan? I was purposely annoying JD one night cause I was mad at him. And he threw the fan across the room and it fell down the stairs. So it broke all up, and he taped it back together. Don't know why we didn't just trash it. But now it kinda holds fond memories. lol. After he threw it I looked at him and said "Hmmm, do you feel better now?" ha ah ha!


Oh what the hell, since I posted pics of JD's guy room, lets show a picture or two of my room! The living room. Where my computer and books are.

Excuse the rug thrown over the railing. I didn't even notice it till I looked at the picture. It's my kitchen rug, but I was moping so I threw it there for a bit.

I'm going to be getting some kind of cover for that couch, I'm not really feeling the color. But it is soooo comfy!

So what do you think? Who has the better room. lol, I know what one the guys will pick.

J&A Moment ~ Dressing Up

My kids just came out of their room all proud of themselves. They got dressed without me! Yeay!!!

Guess what they are wearing?

J~ Baby blue basketball shorts with a orange and white stripe down the side, with a white shirt with a yellow truck on it, that has light grey sleeves with a dark blue stripe down it.

A~ Teal shorts that have pink and yellow flowers on it, and a white shirt with purple flowers on it.



Yeah, so I'm not leaving the house like this today. lol.

Killing Me Softly. Book vs. Movie

Last night I stayed up till 2am watching this movie. I was all kinds of excited since I read the book almost 2 years ago and loved it, and the movie was supposedly based off of the book. Now I've only ever watched a movie and read a book that were the same once before. It was A Walk To Remember, and at first I loved the book and hated the movie but after watching the movie a few more times it grew on me. I just had to reconcile with myself that there were some differences. But you know what? The storyline at least was the same, the ending was the same. But before I get into the movie let me give you a little on the book. And be forewarned, there will be spoilers in both reviews (movie and book) so I can tell you how they differed.

A friend of mine that reads a lot but not usually romance recommended this book to me. She said she knew it wasn't romance but she really thought I'd like it. I don't know why she felt the need to say that since I don't' only read romance I just mostly read romance. Anyway, this was the first time I ever read Nicci French, and since this book I've come to really love her writing style. I found this book in the Thriller section of the book store and it's a book about obsession. Lets do a run down of the book. And just so you know, it's been quite awhile since I've read the book and since Holly STILL has my copy I'm going off of memory.
Alice is living in London with her boyfriend (don't remember how long they were together but it was serious) they have their group of friends they always hang with and Alice is best friends with her boyfriends sister. She has a pretty mundane job and just goes day to day. One day as she's walking to work she catches the eye of a man crossing the street. And that's where the obsession begins. She leaves for lunch and (if I'm remembering correctly) he's outside her building, she gets into a cab with him and goes to an apartment where the screw like crazy all day. This goes on for about a week I think. Her meeting up with him banging around feeling this crazy obsession to be with him, even as she knows practically nothing about him. But also struggling with leaving her long time boyfriend and her old life behind. Adam, the new man she's met, is a mountain climber. He's practically a hero for just about a year ago he took a team up and there was a tragic accident that killed many of the people including his girlfriend at the time, but he saved 6 peoples lives. So the book goes, she leaves her old boyfriend to be with Adam. Adam does a interview for a Mountain magazine where they talk him up as a hero and then the letters and accusations start.

Now let me put in real quick that some time either before the article or after Adam convinces Alice to marry him. So they are wed now.

A girl comes forward and claims that years ago Adam had raped her. Then Alice starts getting hang up phone calls, and letters warning her away from Adam. She starts to snoop around asking questions about Adam and his past. At one point Adam finds out she's snooping and beats the living hell outta her. Then says he loves her so much and cannot live without her. Alice keeps digging and comes across a few things, one Adam was having an affair with a married woman and when she broke it off with him is when she went missing. Also the girlfriend that was killed in the climbing accident? She was cheating on him and he had just found out. Little by little things start falling into place.

Long story short she takes all she knows and goes to the police (I think for the second time cause they didn't believe her the first time). But anyway when they do believe her and go to get Adam he is found dead in his apartment. He hung himself and left a letter saying he only loved Alice so much and needed her love. He was obviously crazy.

I really loved the book, it was intense, a little erotic, it had me turning each page faster and faster. So it is no surprise that I was sooo excited to watch the movie.......I should have known better.

So as you see I loved the book. I am of course expecting the same from the movie, now I'm not dumb I know there are going to be some things added some things taken away, and some things exaggerated or played down. But I did expect it to follow the same story line with the same ending. OMG was I disappointed. Before I even get into the plot of the movie that I didn't like let me just say they messed up just casting Heather Graham as Alice. She has got to be the worse actress EVER. Her facial expressions alone killed it! I think they were just thinking 'oh we need to have quite a few naked sex scenes so lets get a girl with a great body, and who cares if she can act." Ugggg!
Now back to the movie!

Okay first off the intense obsession that you feel in the book is totally missing. In the movie it seems like just an instant intense attraction, you may ask what's the difference. But the movie seemed so normal. The book seemed like it was a beyond normal obsession, it was so much more intense, it drew you in so much more.
So they meet basically the same as they did in the book, yet there is barely any of the history on Adam in the movie as there was in the book. I kept waiting to see the intense almost craziness in Adam but it never came. Yeah, he was crazy about Alice but not in a scary way. So I'm thinking this movie is definitely lacking...yes they still had the kinky sex that bordered on violent but it was never a forced thing like it almost seemed in the book.
Alice never was uncomfortable in any way, she was hot for everything Adam did. So I'm waiting and waiting, and finally Alice starts to find clues to Adams past. She starts putting things together and finally she goes to the police. They don't believe her so she turns and runs to Adams sister, who by the way didn't even exist in the book.

Let me say real quick that we meet Adams sister in the beginning and you don't really know how to take her, she seems a little off, but still kind of nice.

So she goes to the sister and tells her what she is thinking, all the same suspicions as the book, and the sister believes her. So together they go off to where Alice thinks Adam buried the body of an ex-lover that he killed. When there they both start digging and Alice finds the body....but she also finds a necklace on the body. The same necklace that the sister gave her! Turns out the sister was the one killing and crazy. She had an obsession with her brother, made him have sex with her when they were younger and thinks of him as her's. Adam arrives to 'save the day' and Alice ends up killing the sister right as she's about to kill Adam. So you'd think after they messed up the ending to the book the least they could do is give Adam and Alice a HEA right? Ummm, NO! They freaking go their separate ways and that's that. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

Now if I never read the book I may have liked the movie, IF they stayed together in the end. But they just messed it in so many ways it wasn't even right. But one thing they did get right? Yummmy yummy yummmy Adam! The guy that played Adam was freaking HOT! Joseph Fiennes, and here's some eye candy of him:
I think it's mostly his eyes. OMG you could just drown in them, they are a mix of light brown and hazel. It sounds really weird but they are almost clear brown. See you know I got it bad if I'm staying stupid things like "drown in them". I am so not THAT girl. But goodness the eyes and that half smile of his? Yeah, baby!

A day at the shore.

You know when I first started this blog I was all "well since I have a fake name on here, then I'm not gonna put any pics and not use real names for my family or anything. But you know what? Sometimes that's boring. So here is a post on my day at the shore and a few pics to go with it. lol.

So I went to the Shore (Belmar) with my mom, sister, brother, niece, Aunt, 2 cousins and my kids. Side pic is of me with my brother and sister. I know I'm such a whitie next to them huh? lol. They got all our daddy's coloring. So not fair.

We had a good time. We were at the shore by 10am. Not packed at all. The water was soooo cold but that didn't matter much since as I was inching myself into it my sister practically tackled me down so we both went under. Lol, and in the process I lost my sunglasses. I could kill her for that. Then we both took down my Aunt. Fun times.

OMG the water was filled with dead jelly fish. Soooo gross. I kept freaking out and screaming cause I couldn't get used to it and they were everywhere! Sliding across my legs and all. Ewww. My brother and sister were picking them up and throwing them at people. It was actually very funny. But I couldn't bring myself to touch them. Dead or not, I don't care. But I did get mad and have to dunk my brother when I was getting out of the water and he threw one at me and though it was oh so funny!

By the way isn't it just sad that I am the oldest and the shortest? I have one other sister (she was at work) who is the youngest and even she is taller than me!

Well I will tell you all I am now the color of a lobster. I won't peel, tomorrow I will be a nice tan. But today? Yeah, I'm all kinds of red. Why you ask? Hmmm, maybe because I fell asleep on the beach with my face up to the sun, and since I have a stuffed up nose my mouth was open. Which resulted in two things. One my bottom lip is all kinds of burnt. OUCH! And two....yeah, I woke up cause my retarded sister put sand in my mouth! Gotta love your siblings huh? lol.

Over all we all had a really great day. Lot's of fun and laughs. And in the end that's all that matters.

20 things that IRK me...

Lots of things IRK me so I decided to blog on it. And you know what? I'm gonna make this one of those tag things! lol. So here we go.

1) When people ask me to repeat myself. I hate it, I don't know why, I just feel like you should have been listening and if you weren't then your loss.

2) When people make noise while they eat. JD does this on purpose just to annoy me!

3) When people eat with there mouth open. Are you a freaking PIG? Gross!

4) People who make loud noises when they work out. SHUT UP! If it is that hard to lift then you should take some freaking weight off.

5) People that dress for bed to go to the gym. Just cause your working out doesn't mean you don't have to match.

6) People that come into my store ask a million questions look at very expensive diamonds then say they want to spend around $200. WTF! Then why are we looking at 2 CT. Diamonds???

7) Girls that don't keep up with their eyebrows. Really, it's not hard and it only takes a few minutes here and there.

8) When ANYONE tells me to 'Calm Down'. Let me tell you something I'm not freaking excited but if you tell me to calm down one more time you will see me get in your face!

9) Ugly guys that think they can get with me. Please, just stop trying.

10) When I'm trying to sleep and JD keeps tapping his wedding ring on the bed post. He does it just cause he knows it bothers me.

11) Authors that write great books and horrible endings. Jude Devorox (sp???)

12) People that use the race card whenever they can. Just cause a customer doesn't want any held doesn't mean it's you and because your black. Yeah there are some racist people out there, but it's not everyone. So stop going on and on about it. It could just be YOU people don't like.

13)BET! I hate that channel! I do. And don't say there is a Spanish channel that is cause it's a different language! They have many different colored people on their station. BET just is aggravating! Is there a WET? No I think NOT! Uggg.

14) Explaining myself. I just shouldn't have to do it.

15) People that wear clothes that don't fit them. Fat and skinny alike!

16) Guys that say looks aren't all that matter but date the prettiest DUMBEST girls possible!

17) People that change who they are depending on who they are with. Just be yourself, and if that isn't good enough you have problems.

18) People that talk trash behind my back! Seriously, just tell me how you really feel.

19) Working with that Indian old woman I told you all about! Or wait, just her in general irks me.

20)Other peoples kids.

And I'm tagging:
Holly
Dylan
Izzy
Jerk

There are others I'm interested in reading but I'll leave others to tag others. Did that just make sense? lol.

Gym update.

Okay so I started going back to the gym last Tuesday. A week ago. And I've lost.... 1 freakin' pound! Woop dee freaking doo! Uggg, I know it takes time but still for as sore as I've been? Puleez, I need more to show for my efforts. I guess my late night snacks don't help do they? Okay okay I'm gonna stop. I swear. I'm not giving up. I will press on. lol. Listen to me motivating myself!

I am going to Vegas in November and I will be Fucking HOT! Not hot, not HOT but Fucking HOT!!! Got it??? LOL, so I'm on a schedule here.

Saw a guy on the tread mill tonight. Grey sneaks, black socks (who does that???), Green shorts, red tee. Ummm, need I say more? lol.

I can't stand the people that do way to much weights and make all these loud noises every time they lift. Uggg, it is just one of the many things that irk me. I should do a blog on that. All the things that irk me. I think I will! I'll start working on it and add things as I think of them. Yup, expect that blog the end of this week or beginning of next. lol.

It wasn't me! Remember I told you all the other day when I went to the gym it said there was only 15 min. left and I was all annoyed cause I thought the gym was open for another hour & 15 min? Well it announced the same thing tonight, but I didn't pay attention since nobody else was. Then at 11pm the guy announced the gym will be closing in 1 hour. Well why the other announcement then?

Do guys feel weird being naked in the locker room? Girls too! Do you feel weird? I used to when I first started at the gym. You know coming outta the shower or just changing from work clothes to gym clothes. I mean I still can't be all out in the open. I turn so I am facing the lockers when I change my bra and when I change my pants I have my ass towards the lockers. lol. Is it just me? Does anyone else even think about it when they are at the gym?

Don't tell me not to worry about other people at the gym, that they aren't paying attention and are only there for their own work out. It's a lie! I go to the gym for my work out, but you know what? I still look at everyone else. What else are you supposed to do? I look, and I make fun in my head. I do, so I know others are too.

Lastly, why do I feel nauseous? I didn't lift more than I could handle, and I didn't eat right before going to the gym. But still about 1/2 way through the workout I started to feel a little sick. I'm still fighting it. ???

I've decided to do a weekly update on my gym / weight loss stuff. So I'm gonna make a list thing on the left side bar. Okay. So yeah, expect that. And for now? I need a shower and my bed. Catch ya lata.

24 hour drive trough with a late night menu...

So last night I'm talking to my girl Holly it's about 9:30pm her time but past midnight mine. So we're chatting and I say how I am not even really hungry but want to eat something cause I'm bored so she says "Me too! I'm craving something, like McDonald's fries" and I'm all "Mmmmm how bout there new snack wrap? That's good, and cheap" and here's the rest of what happens:

Holly~ "Talk me out of going to McDonald's."
Me~ "If you go I'll go."
Holly~ "Your not helping! And anyway it's 10 miles away."
Me~ "Oh mines only across the street. Hmmm, let's go anyway. Now I really wanna snack wrap."
Holly~ "Okay I'm going (in her wife beater and shorts, lol). Oh but then I'll need to get gas. Is it worth it?"
Me~ "Yeah! Now it is definitely worth it! You get to sleep in earlier tomorrow morning now since you won't have to get gas. Now you have to go."
(See how easily I justify a late night snack?)

Okay so she's off, and I'm getting up to look for my car keys. Okkkaaayyyy, where the heck are my keys? It is now almost 1am and I am tiptoeing through my house so not to wake my husband or kids and looking for my keys. I can't freaking find them. Meanwhile Holly has gotten gas, ordered and is waiting in line to get her food (the drive through line).

As a last resort I say to Holly "Okay I'm gonna go see if maybe my car is unlocked and I left them on the seat or something, and if not I have JD's car keys and I'll scrap around his car for money." (Oh yeah, did I mention I HAVE to drive my car cause my money is in there). So my car is locked (big surprise) but when I get into my husbands car guess what I find??? My truck keys in his dash! I wanted to scream! All the searching and here they are just sitting there.

Anyway now the race is on. Me and Holly wanna enjoy our McDonald's together. She's still waiting in line as I pull outta my parking lot. I'm off. I get to McDonald's about to order and Holly is STILL waiting.

Okay so I know what I want: one snack wrap & one medium iced coffee.
I go to order and I get this back
MD~ "I can get you the Iced Coffee but we don't make the Snack Wrap after a certain time."
Me~ "Are you serious? That's what I want!"
MD~ "Sorry, there is a special late night menu out there."
Me~ huffing and puffing "Fine, I'll take the 3-pc. Chicken Selects."

So I pull up (Holly is still waiting *snicker*) and the woman tells me she is going to make my snack wrap after all. Ummm thanks but why all the hassle if she was going to do it anyway? So I get my iced coffee (perfection) and my snack wrap (yummm) and FINALLY Holly gets her food too. lol.

So moral of the story? Don't talk to Holly on the phone late at night, it is fattening. lol. Love you girl!

Oh and when I got back home, my parking spot was taken...I had to park all far. AND I had to run to the dumpster to hide all evidence of my late night snack.

'J' Moment ~ Hot Girls!

So as I'm sure all you football freaks know last Sunday was the Eagles first pre-season game. So my husband being the football/Eagles freak that he is was all set up in front of his big screen TV ready to watch, with J right next to him. J always does what ever JD does when it comes to sports. So the 'boys' need food! Me and A go to the pizza palor to get them some wings and when I get home this is the conversation I get from my almost 5 year old LITTLE BOY!

J~ Mommy do you know what hot means?
Me~ No baby, what?
J~ Girls that are really pretty.
Me~ (Upon hearing JD choking) Oh really? And did you see any hot girls?
J~ Yeah, daddy said the football cheerleaders are.
JD~ J you are never allowed to watch football with me again.
J~ Why?
JD~ You tell mommy all my secrets.
Me~ You shouldn't have secrets for him to tell.
J~ They are hot mommy.

Then I am watching a movie, She's the man, and J is with me. So on this one part when they kiss I say "Ewww, kissing's yucky!" and J says "No it's not mommy, kissing is yummy." OMG, my son should not be thinking girls are hot and that kissing is yummy yet! What the heck is going on?

Watches

Okay so I've stared a new obsession! I am all kinds of into watches right now. I mean it doesn't hurt that I get outrageously cheap prices on them all through my job. So I wanted to post up some of my faves. Some are in the running for my birthday gift and some I like but even with my discount are outta my range. So this first one? A new Citizen's Watch we just got in. It has real diamonds on the face and outside, and mother of pearl face. It retails for $499. And sorry but can't let out how good a deal I get, but lets just say it is SWEET! This is definitely in the running. It resembles a Tag a lot but the price is so much better. Oh and it's an Eco-Drive which means it runs off of Solar, no batteries needed. A big plus.


Second is this Bulova. Same goes...real diamonds but with a white mother of pearl face. Also has Chronograph. Not that I know what that does but it really looks cool. I also really like this one cause it has a abnormally big face for a woman's watch, looks great on. It also retails for $499. And is in the running. The only down side to this one is the fact that 4 other people I work with have it. It became real popular real quick. It's also a little more sporty than the Citizen.


This one is so cool looking! I has a diamond face but interchangeable bands. So you can be dress (blk), or fun (colored). I really like this one. I'm not positive if I can get it discounted or not though. We carry Movado but not ESQ, but ESQ is by Movado so I don't see the problem, fingers crossed. Anyway I think this one retailed around $300 but I'm not sure. Maybe in the running, if I can get it through work. So far I like this face the best, I just wish it had a SS band too. Another good point with ESQ is since they are by Movado you know you have a really great watch name behind you. Ya know?



Well I had a lot more watches to show you all, but for some reason Blogger is being freaking retarded and won't let me put anymore pics up! FREAKING A. So annoying. So maybe you'll get a Watches II soon. But for now....what one was your favorite?

Really Pissed.....Maybe a new Job oppertunity?

Okay first off I got really pissed at the gym tonight. One of the things I loved about my gym when I signed up was that is was open to 12midnight, I'm a very late person. So to be able to go to the gym at 9pm or even 10pm and get a good workout is great for me. So when I moved over to where I am now the only gym by me was only open till 11pm, SUCK! But within the last 6 months they built a new gym right by my house, yeay me! And guess what? It's open till midnight. Which may I point out they are all the same gym why the different hours? Stupid. Anyway, I get done work about 9:45pm and get to the gym right before 10pm. So I'm doing my cardio thing and am about to finish up when I hear an announcement, something something 15 min., finish you work out. blah blah blah. Well I look at the clock and it is only 10:45. So I'm all confused but like I told you all it's been a few months since I've been to the gym. So I am thinking they changed their hours. Well I try and rush through some arm things and am heading out around 5 of 11. When I leave I notice lots of people still there, and this one guy just walking into the gym. So here's my thoughts, either the gym is retarded and he was making a 1 hour and 15 min. announcement (who does that?) and I misheard, or they changed their hours and nobody knew and nobody else heard the announcement I did (fat chance huh?), or the guy working read the clock wrong and made the announcement at the wrong time (I'm going with this one!). So regardless I am pissed cause I had to cut my workout short! But I did come home and do some dumb bell arm things. But I don't think it did much cause I don't really know what to do with them.

Okay on to the new job possibility. I can sell! I've sold cosmetics and skin care, I've sold Jewelry, I've sold Avon, I've sold ugly country stuff. Point being I am good at sales! It's my nitch, I got it down. So I've been considering going to real estate school for awhile now. And just this week we got a new person working with us and she just got her license. So I've been asking her questions and she said if she sells one house she makes more money than she does working one month at our job! OMG, I am really gonna have to do this. And it also seems really good for me cause since my kids are both gradually starting school I need to find a career for myself, what do I really wanna do? I definitely don't want to stay in retail! Yuck! But I can picture myself doing real estate. I mean I know you gotta work hard, but in the long run it's something you can do on your own and really make big. I think I just might be going for this. What do you all think?

'A' Moment ~ I swear I didn't teach her that!

This all happened a few weeks ago but I never got around to posting it.....

Okay so I'm running around to every sports store there is from here to PA. I cannot find football cleats in J's size. Suck! I am so annoyed. So finally the day of his first practice I throw him and A in the car and we're off to look at another mall and stores about 1/2 hour away. On the way there A falls asleep so I carry her into the store....no go, not J's size....we head back to the car and when I put A in her seat she wakes up and starts crying "why did you wake me up?" me, "I'm sorry baby, go back to sleep and I'll carry you into the next store." so she cries a bit more and then starts talking to J and is wide away. Yet when we arrive at the next store she wants me to carry her. I say "no, your awake now, I'm not carrying you. You can walk with J." so she's crying and whining, and all the sudden I grasp what she's saying.

A~ "Why is she looking at me?"
Me~ "Who?"
A~ "That girl! She's laughing at me!"
Me~ (I glance back and see a little girl about A's age walking with her dad, not paying A any attention) "A, she's not laughing at you."
A~ "Yes she is and she's not the same color as me!"

OMG I almost had a heart attack! First of all the little girl was Hispanic so she wasn't' really much darker than A. And secondly WHERE THE HELL DID SHE LEARN THAT??? OMG I never talk about color and all that. I mean really my mom's as white as they come and my dad being Puerto Rican is very very tan. I never heard her say anything like that.

Then just recently my sister was over and she has a 7 month old baby. Well my niece is on our side 1/2 everything and 1/2 PR and her dad is African, he's from the Ivory Coast. So she's very dark, not black dark, but like a PR with a very dark summer tan, you know? Well my sister is dark to begin with, darker than I am, but her daughter is still darker. Well when she was over A looks at them and says to my sister "Why aren't you the same color?" talking about her and her daughter. Where is this coming from? OMGoodness, that is all I need. Her going around making racial remarks about peoples color. lol.

J did it a little when he was A's age. But not as blatant. He'd just refer to people as 'the brown man' and 'the white man'. It was funny cause he would say this "mommy, daddy, A, me, ti-ti* H, and grandmom are white and uncle J, pop-pi*, and ti-ti* S are brown" lol, cause my brother and one sister along with my dad are really tan year round unlike my other sister me and my mom who are all white. lol. Kids are to funny sometimes.


*I know this isn't the way you are most likley supposed to spell these words but it is the spanish version of dad, and aunt. My kids call them that but that doesn't mean I know how to spell them. My dad never taught us Spanish, even though he's fluent. It still pisses me off to this day. So forgive me.

'J' Moment ~ My handsome boy!

My baby is getting so big. And cuter and smarter by the day. I swear overnight J has become a big boy! I know I sound like such a sap but all you parents know what I mean, how it happens over night.
J is playing tackle football like I told you all, he has practices 3 times a week. He is sooo cute. He's loving it, he may not be the best in all the drills but he is having so much fun. Well today they are getting their helmets and have to practice in them. So I say to J...

Me~ J, know what you have to wear at practice today?
J~ My helmet! I know, daddy told me.
Me~ Okay, well it's gonna be a little heavy and you'll have to get used to it, so don't give up baby.
J~ I can handle it mom. I'm a big boy, I can carry heavy stuff.

OMG, isn't he sooo stinkin' cute!!! I just love this boy to death.

J & A Moment ~ OMG, OMG, OMG!

These were my exact words yesterday as I turned from the computer and saw my son standing behind my daughter with a pair of scissors in his hand. And when I got up and ran to them and saw a clump of hair on the counter! That's when the tears came. I am not lying! I was almost hysterical. I didn't even want to look at their hair. I just grabbed the scissors and went into the bathroom to calm down. When I came out I saw my daughter now had bangs (and if I wasn't so upset I'd admit J didn't do a bad job) and then as I ran my fingers through her hair more clumps came out! OMG!!! So I grab them up and go to the Hair Cuttery! While J is hopping outta the car I notice something off....OMG....he has a bald spot in the center front of his hair!!! He snipped a chunk of his hair too! OMG OMG OMG! I don't think I've stated OMG so much in my life. So leaving the hair place my daughter has angled hair in the front and a few inches off the back and my son.....he's basically bald. Yup, a zero on the sides and a one on top. Thank God it's football season and it'll grow back by time school starts. KIDS! I swear they'll be the death of me.

Oh and how bout this! I'm in the car with the kids taking J to football practice (I had just gotten home from the gym) and J looks at me and says

J~ Mommy why are you wearing you night shirt?
Me~ I'm not!
J~ Yes you are, you wore that shirt to bed.
Me~ A few nights ago, I cleaned it since.
J~ No it was last night.
Me to JD~ Did I really wear this to bed?
JD~ (laughing) yes.
Me~ (so embarrassed. to J) Don't tell anyone!
J~ (Laughing) I'm gonna tell all my friends!

OMG this is what I get for having all my clothes thrown around my room. I just grabbed a shirt for the gym and ran. lol. And now he's telling his friends things? I need to be really careful!

(maybe I'll add hair pics later. Blogger isn't working with me on that right now. lol.)

A Post for my friend the Jerk!

LOL, okay well don't get all excited, you didn't win a prize or anything. lol. And anyone can actually answer. But I have work-out/gym related questions here. So here it is. When trying to lose weight....WHAT THE HELL IS THE BEST THING TO DO??? Okay can you notice I'm a bit frustrated and lost? See I just wanna lose weight the right way but fast. And I don't know what to do. Do I just do cardio? For how long? Or do I have to do machines? Which ones.
See I had a personal trainer take me through a time or two but I can never remember all the things they tell me to do. You know? And I sure as hell cannot afford to have a personal trainer all the time. Uggg.
I hate this crap. Oh! Do the classes really do anything, or are they a waste? I usually do the kickboxing classes, or step & sculpt. I tried cycling, but let me tell you those itty-bitty seats are not made for a puerto rican ass. lol.
So tell me everyone, Jerk, what do you do that works? Or what do you suggest??? HELP!!!
I'm going to Vegas in November and I want to drop 30 pounds. Is that feasible? Or even healthy? See I don't even know.

Can someone PLEASE explain???

Okay last night I watched a movie and was seriously let down. What movie you ask? Eyes Wide Shut. Has anyone seen this? I really don't get the reason for making the film. Okay Nicole K. annoyed the crap outta me, the way she talked irked me. There was no point. I think someone just wanted to make a movie with lots of tits in it. Cause there was definitely lots of that. But no sex! Not like I'm so freak and pervert, but it's kinda like a book. The lead up...but no deal. Then the lead up.....but no deal. Whatever. So Tom finds out his wife may or may not have had sex with some navel officer a year ago so he goes out and ALMOST has sex with a hooker. Then he sneaks into some freakish devil worship sex club where there are tons and tons on naked women having sex with random men and each other....and he just watches. Then he's found out and asked to strip...yup, naked. But nooooo he gets "saved" by one of the naked girls that tried to warn him to leave. Then all this other weird stuff happens and he's trying to find out what that club was. Basically nothing gets figured out and he tells his wife about all he did, she cries. They go shopping with their daughter for Christmas and ...... THE FUCKING END!!!!!!!!!! Ummm, did I miss the point of this movie somewhere???? There's a good possibility I did since it was so boring I fast forwarded through some of it. A lot of it. But okay enough is enough, I just needed to rant about this sorry ass movie.

A Goal and a Prize for me!

Okay my birthday is in a few weeks, 8/28 to be exact. And I know my blog profile says I'm 25 but I really am 24 about to be 25. So point being, over the last few months I've become such a lazy ass, haven't gone to the gym and have been eating shit. So I started back at the gym and promised myself if I lose 10 by my birthday I'll get myself a tattoo for my birthday! I've wanted one forever. So just wanted to say it out loud so I could push myself more.
10 pounds is by no means all I want to lose but just a starting goal, ya know?
Wish me Luck!

I'm so excited!

And I just can't hide it! LOL, okay that was dorky. But I was just going with it. ha ha. But really I am excited, an awesome friend of mine has been writing for awhile and I love her stuff.....and she is getting published! Wooo hooooo. So go read all about Tami Boyer on Sancuary's Finest! Just wanted to post a link here too!
