Doggy Sitting

While my sister was living it up in Vegas for the last six days, we were doggy-sitting Music. He and mommy Sandy had a great time together, and it was fun having a sweet puppy in the house again (Butterball...

Recuperating

What a crazy whirlwind weekend I had! On Thursday, I met my favorite Mami Hen Carrie, and she is as fabulosa in person as she seems on her blog. I also got to spend some time with Marta and Kikita,...

Mom

You’ve told me a couple of times that I’m a better mother than you are, but that is far from true. From you I learned how to be strong in spite of the circumstance around me. I learned humility and...

Birthday Wishes

Here's wishing my wonderful hubby a very happy 35th birthday. I love you with all my heart, my LMB....

Three

My little boy turns three today. He’s growing so fast I can barely stand it! He’s in the midst of potty training, and you can all imagine what an adventure that’s become. He knows his full name, his colors and...

Birthday Wishes....Got Kleenex?

March 27, 1977. Val was 12, I was 4 months. An unbreakable bond was formed that day, when that boy, my uncle, became my Godfather. That boy, who grew up and became one of the people I most admire,...

Seven

Seven years ago, on a day like today, you changed my world. You, who were once so tiny that even preemie clothes were slightly big on you, have grown and flourished into a bright, happy, adventurous, creative little man. I...

Blessed

My little sister came over around 11am and spent the entire day with us. She sat with us for a while as we wrapped up breakfast, then hung out with the boys for pretty much the entire afternoon as I...

Upcoming

Here are a few things I'm looking forward to during the next few weeks (besides the holidays, of course): - My stepbrother's birthday this coming Saturday. - Hubby's BFF's kids' birthday party on Sunday. -The New Moon premiere on the...

A little bit of everything

My nephew Maxx turned 3 yesterday. Happy birthday, Maxxy!! Saw the VMA's on Sunday. So excited about New Moon...T - 65 days! Kanye West is an A--, and Beyonce is one classy gal! Lady Gaga is such a weirdo, what...

Random

I'm so glad my comments are working again! Come on, people, show me you love me! It's just after 6:30pm, and I'm still at work. I'm off the clock, but I'm taking a few minutes to check my personal email...

Birthdays break the silence

I reopened comments to see if things simmered down a bit with those annoying spammers...so far, so good! Lots to talk about, but I have to get the boys in bed. Here are a couple of things real quick: -...

Happy Birthday, Chantel!

Many, many more to you, my friend. Besitos y abrazos!!...

Before the night is over

I want to wish my girl Kikita a wonderful, fabulous, exciting, very Happy 26th Birthday!! I love you, my almost-relative! ;-) (And how cute is Marti's post about her baby girl?)...

Tightening the purse strings even more

As I am now unemployed, I'm being more frugal than usual. We have five birthday parties between this weekend and the end of the month. At first, I was going to get everyone gift cards, but that would mean spending...

I got nothin'

Sorry, peeps, I'm suffering from a temporary bout of writer's block. Well, I do have a couple of things to say: -It's a crazy birthday week for me: Happy birthdays to my hubby (the 23rd), one of my oldest friends...

Birthday Bloggage

Happy birthday to my marathon-running, picture-taking, animal-loving, job-seeking, beverage-imbibing, scooter-riding, Sherlock-loving friend WB! Don't mind me making a couple of wishes your birthday, m'kay? Here goes: I wish to see you soon and I wish you a wonderful day!...

Birthday browsing

The countdown to hubby’s birthday continues; there are just 46 shopping days left! I found out that the replica of the watch he wants doesn’t come with a medium face, so the search continues for a watch that he'll like...

Two

730 days old. ;-)...

Shhh, don't tell hubby

but I think I know what I'm getting him for his birthday. C's hubby is a manager for a jewelry store, and his visit tonight reminded me that while I can't afford any of the authentic watches he sells, replica...

Six

My baby boy turned six today. How did that happen? Who told him he could grow so fast? I surely didn't give him permission to do so, but he went ahead and did it anyway. I didn't have the heart...

Saturday

It seems like Matty is finally getting over whatever he has. He had no temperature, and he's been more playful throughout the day. I'm finally going to go see Twilight tomorrow! YAY! I'm so very excited...I know a lot of...

the silence is broken

You can blame Twilight, aging and sickness for the quiet around here. Last Thursday, a former co-worker lent me Twilight. I started it that evening and was finished by Saturday night. I devoured it (pun intended). I read Midnight Sun...

Consuming mass quantities

We got home a short while ago from my dad's house, where we had a lovely birthday celebration for my stepbrother's 35th birthday. It was a lovely day, and very relaxing. The guys were watching the Dophins game and the...

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy birthday, my friend. Hope you have a great day!...

Non-stop Saturday

We got up about half an hour ago. We're going to have breakfast in a few minutes, then head over to my mom's house. She's having a garage sale, and I'm going to help her for as long as I...

6 decades

My stepmom turns 60 today. You can't tell by the way she and my dad are always up to something, whether dinner with friends, or a party to attend, or a weekend trip to Vegas. Her favorite pasttime though, is...

Early birthday wishes

Tomorrow is my friend Claudia's birthday. She's the crazy one in our group, not embarrassed to wear a silly accessory or a crazy costume in public, for any occasion. Novelty t-shirts are just the beginning with her. She’ll wear a...

Possible birthday plans?

So…I realized yesterday that my birthday is less than two months away, and it falls on a Sunday this year. I think I would like to spend my birthday weekend down in Key West. Hubby and I have been talking...

Good times

Grandma's birthday was great! It stopped raining shortly after the guests arrived, and it turned into a beautiful sunny day. Matty slept through about half of the party while Brandon dragged "volunteers" to play with him in the playroom. My...

Never mind

Just as I was about to get dressed to head out, it started raining. Again. So I guess I can take a few moments to blog some more. We were up last night when the news broke that O.J. Simpson...

Celebration

In honor of my maternal grandmother's 82nd birthday today, we are having a small party at my house this afternoon. Even after last night's events and only four hours of sleep, I got up at 8am when hubby started getting...

Highs and Lows

Some good news: My dear friend Angie had her baby girl this afternoon. She was born via c-section at 2:06pm. I don't have any other details because the phone reception was spotty when they called, but I'll be visiting...

Happy 3rd Birthday, C-man!

Today (what's left of it, anyway) is Christian's 3rd birthday. Go by and wish him a happy one, 'kay?...

5

My nephew, also known as Brandon's best buddy, turns 5 today. It couldn't come soon enough! Since Brandon turned 5 in January, he's been asking his mom when he can be 5, just like Brandon. It's been 7 months of...

More Birthdays

Another busy birthday day. My cousin-in-law Sandy, my friend Melissa, and bloggers Pam and VW bug share a birthday today. Happy birthday, ladies!!...

A Bunch of Birthdays

Happy Birthday to Mami Hen Carrie, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of her 21st birthday this past Friday. Friend and blogger Serenity celebrated her birthday yesterday. And my friends Eileen, Monica, Mery and Mery's mom Nancy all share a birthday...

A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked. ~Author Unknown From one cracked egg to another, Happy Birthday dear friend!...

Welcome to toddlerhood!

I can't top the post his mommy wrote, so I'll just direct you that way and wish our dear friends' son Felipe a Happy 1st Birthday! See you tomorrow at your big party, little guy!...

Happy 32nd Birthday, Sarahk! 32 ain't so bad...then again, how would I know? I don't get there for another 5 months. ;-) Have an awesome birthday weekend, my friend!...

21

My little brother turns 21 today. I was in summer camp, between 5th and 6th grade, when he was born. My stepfather came to pick me and my sister up at school. I guess he or my mom had called...

Weekend wrap-up

I'm glad to report that neither I nor the boys got the stomach virus hubby had. I did get a lovely little gastritis attack, with my stomach blowing up like a balloon every evening for the last three nights. Brandon...

A Quarter of a Century

Happy 25th Birthday, Amy....uh, I mean, Hurricane Kikita!! Love you mucho, my friend!...

New Little Guy

I'd like to introduce you to my newest "nephew". This is Brian, new son to our dear friends Vivian and Martin. For those of you that know mommy (and therefore will inquire about such details), she had contractions all day...

More birthday bloggage

(Right under the wire) Today my sister turned 28. My little sister. 28. Man, do I feel old! I wish I'd gotten to this earlier in the day. I could tell you what a wonderful Titi she is to the...

Birthday Bloggage

Marta, Like you, I believe in God's intelligent design. It is no coincidence that our families shared a home in Manati, nor is it a coincidence that your blog crossed my uncle's path and he asked you to be a...

Birthday Bloggage

Today is my dad's birthday. We're headed over to his house this evening for dinner and cake. All four kids, 4 kids-in-law, and 5 (and a half) grandkids. A full, chaotic crazy evening is in store for us, but I...

This and That

Matthew is 15 months old today! He said "baby" last night while we were watching something on the developmental baby channel. He also absolutely refuses to be fed, preferring to feed himself. Half the food ends up on the high...

A successful shopping Saturday

Man, am I glad I didn't find a present for my mom yesterday...I found the perfect present for her this afternoon. I got this for her, in red to match her kitchen, for $29! We also purchased items for both...

I.O.U.

I went to a popular home goods store today after work, searching for a birthday present for my mom. I was under pressure because I was headed to my grandparents' for a belated birthday dinner in the evening, and as...

Mom

Today is my mother's birthday, and I can't think of just the right words to honor her. There are just so many things I want to say. I know it's been hard for her to accept that my father...

The bunny was here.

Oh my, I worked like an animal today! We woke up around 8:30, and I threw some of the baby’s laundry in the washer, cleaned up the kitchen (was lazy last night after staying up until 1am stuffing eggs and...

Party Time, and Belated Birthday Wishes

It was my older sister's birthday yesterday (I won't tell her age, but I can tell you that when I asked my nephew how old mommy was, he said "28". Smart kid!) and we surprised her with a party at...

Just when I thought I could relax.

I've got a bunch of things going on this weekend. My older sister and I are taking the boys to "Day Out with Thomas" tomorrow afternoon (Ssshhhh, it's a surprise!), and Sunday is my nephew Tyler's birthday party. I also...

Happy Birthday!!

WB turns 31 today, and CalTechGirl and I were teasing her a couple of days ago about her "old age". Yeah, it was funny, even though we are both 31 too. She really is getting a package soon, but only...

WB, DON'T READ THIS!!!

Alright, peeps, here's the deal: WB's birthday is on March 7th, and I want to send her a little something. I know she appreciates fine spirits, maybe I should get her a membership to one of those wine clubs I've...

Birthday Wishes

A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart. ~Author Unknown I can think of no better description befitting my grandfather. Felicidades, Papito!...

It couldn't have been better!

The sky was a gorgeous blue, with small puffy clouds here and there. A light breeze would blow through every once in a while. It really was a perfect afternoon. We left the house on time (if you know us,...

Party Day!!

Got a bunch of stuff to do now, and we're leaving to set up in about two hours. The park looks terrible, but the playground and shelter are intact. I will take lots of pictures and share with y'all tonight....

Belated Birthday Wishes

I feel terrible. I completely forgot that last Saturday was Penny's 2nd birthday. I've no one to blame but myself, but it should be noted that I have not yet put my new agenda in my purse. Normally I write...

Random Thoughts

I booked the bounce house and trackless train for the party next weekend. I can't wait to see Brandon's face when he sees them, especially the trackless train. And I'm sure Matty will love it too! Speaking of parties, it's...

1!!!!!

A year ago today, at this exact time, I was getting dressed to head to the hospital. The last 12 months seem like a blur. I know I've said this before, but I really can't believe how fast the time...

Happy Birthday!!

It's my uncle's birthday today. Go over there and wish him a happy one, will ya?!...

5

Five years ago today, we were bouncing off the walls, waiting for you to arrive. We ran through so many emotions as you decided to make your grand entrance: excitement, nervousness, happiness, anxiety. It's been an amazing experience showing you...

Big boy!

Brandon turns 5 in a week, and we've got a great surprise for him: Next weekend he'll be spending the weekend at my dad and stepmom's house (Note to self: ask dad and stepmom about sleepover). While he's over there,...

Pictures!!

I just loaded the pictures my sister took at my birthday party last week onto flickr. Check them out! There may be more later, I have to check my camera for any worthwhile shots....

Still Celebrating!!

My dad and stepmom threw me a "surprise" birthday party yesterday afternoon. It was supposed to be a surprise, and it was also supposed to be last weekend, but since hubby and I went to the debate (note to self:...

Today

Is my mother-in-law's birthday. I imagine if hubby gets home from work early enough, we'll head over to her house this evening. Tonight is also the Led Zeppelin concert in London. I hope it is recorded and either sold on...

Post-Birthday Post

We spent the evening at home and had a lovely time. I made baked ziti and our friends came by to help me celebrate. Bellies were filled, sweets were eaten, and good times were had. Matty was still slightly cranky...

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!

It's my 31st birthday today, and I've had a lovely day so far, in spite of running on 3 hours of sleep (Matty got a booster shot yesterday and ran a fever all night). Friends and family have called throughout...

What to do, what to do

I'll be 31 in a little over 2 weeks. We won't be having a big bash like last year since there are two costly events coming up (the baptism and the boys' party), but I would like to do mark...

Birthday Wishes

Happy birthday, my friend! The big little guy made this for you this morning. I wanted to take a picture of it with them next to it, but we just got home and they are both asleep. We had a...

Aftershock

Sheesh...I am exhausted. While it was great fun having all the boys together last night to celebrate my stepmom's birthday, it just completely wore me out. All of us took on the other's kids at one time or another. It...

Happy Birthday, 'Bela!

Today is my stepmom's birthday. She's pretending that she doesn't know that we (we as in me, hubby and the boys; my stepsis and the boys; my stepbro and Tyler; and my little sister) are all coming over tonight to...

So how was your Saturday?

Yup, we were missing in action for the better part of the day. We went to a birthday party in the early afternoon, and afterwards went to do some shopping. I'm slowly but surely making my way through our list...

She's mental, but we love her anyway

This is my friend Claudia. No, she's not in a mental institution, even if it seems so. That's her living room during Halloween last year. She turned her entire house into the Hyde M. Asylum for Halloween. Look through the...

Felicidades, Abuela

Today is my grandmother's 81st birthday. After reading my uncle's post, I'm left speechless. He has said what I wanted to say, and so much more. Felicidades, Abuela. Te adoro. Que Dios te bendiga hoy y siempre, y que nos...

The Lemonheads

Two Turn Two

As I mentioned, this past Saturday we went to Christian and Sophie's birthday party. Since they were born 12 days apart, their mommies decided to throw one big bash. The party theme was a Luau, and it was really cute!...

A Dino-mite Idea!

We just got home from running a couple of errands. During our drive, Brandon proclaimed that he wants his birthday to be "of dinosaurs". He's been begging for a Thomas the Train party for months, but apparently decided that he'd...

Slow Start to Saturday

Good morning, all. Had a bit of a rough night last night. Matty woke up twice, and Brandon woke up around 5 in the morning and hopped in our bed. Come 7AM, both Eric and I felt like we hadn't...

Saturday Night, and I'm feelin' Alright

Just finished bathing the boys, and I'm ready to jump in bed. It's been quite an eventful day. The little one woke us up around 3:30AM, and we managed to get him to sleep until about 7:30, when hubby had...

You're One!!
