| On the road.... |
I will be on the road in about an hour or so. I'm all packed up and  ready to go! Had to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything! I know that I have packed entierly too much, but what can I say. The outfit DOES NOT look right if you don't have the right shoes or accessories to go with it! LOL LOL
The boys are with their father...I miss them already!
Have a great Memorial Day....blessings to all the service men and women that gave of themselves...

| the "fat" lady has sung!!! |
me me me me me [guitar playing...]
School's out for summer..... School's out forever.... School's been blown to pieces....
Wooo hooo, another school year is finally over and done with....and ooooh what a year it has been. Between the three hurricanes that hit us and my students antics of being taken away and arrested, I don't know if I could take much more of the drama!!!
Anywho, LexLu found my blog and responded to me in another email. This connection wasn't meant to be; not stressin over it. I sometimes wonder if its bad timing? I am comforted that when someone is meant to be...it will be. There's a saying in Spanish -- Lo que esta para ti, nadie te lo quita. Another chapter in life has come to a close....
Tomorrow evening is Nuria's 50th birthday bash--it's a surprise. Mayra, Nuria and I will be going shopping, the movies, and late lunch...THEN it's back to her casa--SURPRISE!!!!! She hasn't a clue. It's a 70's theme party, so we have to dress the part...I don't know what the fuck to wear???? I have to find something in my closet.
Ahhhh......NO SCHOOL....NO SCHOOL..... I am off to Orlando on Monday for the conference. Will blog from there--hopefully!!!
Toodles....
P.S. I'm entering a reflective phase in my life, I want to cherish all the clarity I'm gonna find.

| E-mail from LexLu |
Hola,
I sensed last nite that you didn't even want to talk to me. That was confirmed by no return call. Actually, not any calls in quite some time. I am sorry for everything that I've ever done to allow our relationship to deteriorate.
What's this supposed to mean? Ahhhh, I tend to meet idiots. Their loss. |

...
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
A beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know
I'm not a hopeless case
not a hopeless case...

| what does she have to say today? |
What will she write today.....what will we click and find? Will it be the happy-go-lucky girl, or the  one that life kicks a little from time to time. These two things make me un-unique, I am just like everyone else I know, except for the small fact that I Blog and it is accessible to all.
My thoughts for today are pretty random, so I will just jot them down and let you see what is for you and I will know what is just for me ;-)
- Unexpected presents rock - THANK YOU.
- My fingers still smell of spearmint & eculaptyus - hmmm.
- Smile more often - it makes people think you have a secret - and maybe you do...
- Simplify your projects and accomplish one thing at a time.
- My 45th birthday is weeks away....I love who I am at this age.
- I am unsettled - in a good way.
So that is it in a nutshell...besos for now |

 I love it! I'm gonna wear it everywhere. Nothing feels better, on my ample bosom, than a murderous thug with a bullet in his head. |

Heinous, I say.

| How women got the raw end of the deal... |
Peeing sitting down...no ability for discreet emergency relief and there's nothing like the thigh workout you get when squatting in a public restroom so as not to touch the seat
Menstruation... "Pads, they're like diapers for grown-ups!", "Nothing like the immediate fear that you may have leaked and you're in public...in white capris"
Morning sickness...guys, it's like being hungover for three months but you never get the benefit of partying and getting wasted the night before
Labor...do not even attempt to compare this is being kicked in the nuts...do not even go there...
Pantyhose
General daily societal upkeep...hair washed, blow dried and styled and make-up
Daily shave of two legs, two pits and the cooter
Must sit nicely even from time of being young girl--you NEVER hear a boy being told, "That's not manly-like, open your legs more and let the 'frank and beans' hang out, son."
Menopause...or so I've been told
Body image...generally women are held to a higher societal fitness and attractiveness standard than men
Having to "empty" after non-condom sex...no passing out after the deed...trip to the bathroom is a necessity
Ability to always, always, always hear their offspring...men can go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning and never hear the screaming baby or hollering toddler, damn that maternal instinct...
Under-wire bras
Where Women Got A Good Deal (a/k/a The Short List)
Breasts..."Mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest..."
Generally prettier to look at clothed or nude
Multiple orgasms |

| Baggage |
I was thinking today about making a sign for my front door. It would read: "All baggage must be checked before entering. You are permitted one carry-on item which must fit in the small coat closet by the front door." Of course, I would have the "size-wise" holder outside the door to help people determine if their baggage was too big to bring inside. |

| Cowgirl |
I went to Party City and purchased party supplies for daddy's "75th birthday hoedown extravaganza." My sister's and I decided on a western theme...anywho, I found this cowgirl headpiece that I just couldn't say no to!!!
Don't I look adorable? The boys were laughing hysterically. Antonio grabbed the cam and snapped this pic. Hope you enjoy. LOL LOL LOL

| Mom-isms.... |
A little "birdy" told me!
A little soap & water never killed anybody.
Always wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident.
Are you going out dressed like that?
Answer me when I ask you a question!
Am I talking to a brick wall?
Are you deaf or something?
Call me when you get there, just so I know you're okay.
Did you brush your teeth?
Did you flush?
Do you think I'm made of money?
Don't ask me WHY. The answer is NO.
Don't cross your eyes or they'll freeze that way.
Don't EVER let me catch you doing that again!
Don't pick that scab, it'll get infected.
Don't use that tone with me!
Don't sit too close to the television, it'll ruin your eyes.
Don't talk with your mouth full!
How many times do I have to tell you?
I can't believe you did that!
How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tasted it?
I brought you into this world, and I can take you right back out!
I can't believe you can sleep in this filth!
I said CLOSE the door, I did not say SLAM it.
I would have never talked to MY mother like that!
If I want your opinion I'll ask for it!
I hope someday you have children just like you.
I just want what's best for you.
I'm going to give you until the count of three...
I'm not your maid!
It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust everyone else.
Life isn't fair
Nobody asked you.
Put that down! You don't know where it's been!
Shut your mouth and eat.
What do you think, money grows on trees?
What did I say the FIRST time?
What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?
What part of NO don't you understand?
You are getting on my last nerve.
When you have your own house then you can make the rules!
You just ate an hour ago!
You'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to your shoulders!
My favs....
You will ALWAYS be my baby.
I will always love you - no matter what. |

| dream... |
I suppose, once in a while, I should actually write something that doesn't tangle you up in my web of words. An update on my life...how I am...what's been going on in my little world...a post sans the ramble that I'm sure leaves many of you wondering what exactly goes on inside my head. Something light and breezy....something uncomplicated. I am however, much too complicated a woman for anything to ever be easy.
I've been torn apart so many times
I will start off by saying that life has been uneventful. There are days when my world is sunny and bright and I wake up with a smile and there are days that I just wish would pass by quickly. Today, has been one of those days...I guess I can describe it as having woken up on the wrong side of the bed. I had a dream so realistic, that when I woke up this morning I actually had to question whether it was in fact a dream or if the ache in my heart was from something real. I spent the day with a lump in my throat, escaping into my silence... feeling...vulnerable. I hate feeling that way. |

You're too impulsive Too distracted Too imaginative Too capricious Much too much
You're too reactive Too sympathetic Too emotional Too demonstrative Much too much
You're too zealous Too exuberant Too animated Too energetic Much too much
You're too careless Too trusting Too passionate Too foolish Much too much
Too fast Too slow Too high Too low Too hot Too cold Too shy Too bold Too much Too much Too much Too much
Much too much |

| Fuck love... |
 Someone asked me not too long ago, why wasn't I being serious on this blog and truly writing about things that are important to me....I actually am...
If you read you will undertand...if you look at the pics or the messages I am sending...you will realize that I am giving out sooooo much more of what's going on inside of me than if I were writing...
How does the old adage go..."A picture is worth a thousand words".

| ranting... |
I love long hair. A year ago I was thinking about maybe cutting it, but I don't know. I never wanna cut it now. Never. ~ Angel Carter
 Why does your hairdresser feel the need to do whatever she wants on your head? You can let her know what you want, tell her, show her, take her a goddamn picture with instructions and yet still...it never is quite how you want it.
How many times have you come home to tweak this and that in front of the mirror, with your sundry combs and products trying to get it just right? And on top of that, she had the audacity to overcharge me on something she didn't even do right. For the price I paid for the haircut, my hair better stay all shiny and cut forever. Grrrrrr!!!
Cosmetology should be like cooking. The ingredients are there, the experience, the directions. All you have to do is follow the recipe. That way you won't screw it up. That way I won't get mad and boycott your salon. That way you will actually have customers who don't want to kill you as they smile and act like you chopping off their locks is ok. That way, you can actually sleep well at night, instead of having lurid nightmares of your customers chasing you with shears, trying to wreck havoc on your own mane.

| UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM |
Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country.
 1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head)
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number ( NOT the area code).
3. Multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number.
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide by 2
Do you recognize this number? |
