Good bye 2006!!! **waves**

What a year 06 was! So many changes epiphanies sexies and my buzzword chichis. 06 was a year of change for me. I can say it was the year of domesitcation lol. The year the beast was tamed and hallelujah for that. I havent been more content in my day to day existance than I am now. I can say a year for positive growth. Although im not sure my waistline will agree LOL.

So whats in store for 07? Well more change of course! I will be working for Motorola as of January. I will learn the realities of Real estate taxes and how they effect my return or lack of LOL. I will try to pay off 2 credit cards, try to replace the carpet in my house with wood of some sort. By the end of 07 I hope to refinance my car and if possible and i get a tax return that works for me, Replace my Tub with soemthing more fancy.. start fixing the bathroom and hopefully by 08 be the year we can just sit back and enjoy our work and $$ lol. Oh yeah and I will add 30 pounds to my resoultion. To be posted in 07!

I can't wait!

Monkeys are Jumpeys!

And boobies will always be boobies LOL.

SO New years is just DAYS away! And what does the reubester have planned you ask? Nothing! lol Absolutely nothing. With cashola being tight like it is, i seriously doubt we are going to do anything huge, large, costly.. shit if theres a cover charge forget it lol (most cover charges are 30-50 bucks each, thats not to mention drinks... So we are S.O.L. And i really am ok with it. He doesnt want to drive to SF either, so there goes that one. So we may just stay home hang out with my brother and virginia or my mom and sister who knows. Its not the end of the world, but the beginning of a great year!

I do know that Alex has planned on New Years day though a quick drive to Monterey for the day. Im a sucker for Clam Chowder on the warf :) Ill take it!

Oh last night I rocked that magic bullet with a killer and I MEAN KILLER Eggnog Milkshake.. You pay 3 bucks for that anywhere and they aint never that good. Ice Cream 3 bucks eggnog 2 bucks.. and i have enough for plenty more.. got to make em before the 7th though because thats when Egg Noggy goes baddy =p

The holiday aftermath

What a wonderful time I had this Christmas. We ate drank eggnog and were merry. Ahh life is soooooo precious! We drove up to grandmas, spent the night had the poopies with us. I got sooooo many gifts! SO many Video Games im not even joking. 5 to be exact WOW! Thats a big haul.. And i finally got my Magic Bullet!! Don't confuse it with the silver bullet you dirty minded folks. LOL.

I did get alot of comments personally from my Christmas blog, and that was special. Alot were touched by the message and I hope you kept it close to your heart. Don't sweat the small stuff.. were almost in 07!!! And what a flagship year that will be for many of us.

So I need plans set for new years as of tomorrow.. although alex said he had plans for me now.. hmm... im going to ask him about it. :)

Christmas

So last night i get home and there is a letter from alex's boss and i read it and wow. It really touched me.

It talks about his meaning of Christmas. In the letter he states his mother has Alzheimers and that she is about ready to transition into the next life. It goes on to say that his brothers can't go see her for the holidays in general because its too hard for them. And that he is the only one who goes to spend his holidays with his mother. This past thanksgiving he was there with her and he was brushing her hair and she would just smile at him and just be with her even if she doesn't remember who he is, that smile grounds him. His point was that he appreciates everything around him. Those moments with his mother, the smile and everything else in life. He doesnt sweat the small stuff, and often times we can forget that.

After reading this I felt very humble. Lately things have been one extreme or the other and I have stressed more than I should have. I take too many things for granted when I try not to. Its been one extreme or the next, Im broke, yet I have a roof over my head. I have food in my belly and shoes on my feet and gas in my car.

Its time to take some time and enjoy whats around me. Enjoy my family, my cousins and their beautiful kids, my Grandma and Granpas smiles and hugs. My Brother and Virginia, My Sister, My Mother, Alex and Max. hehe.. good ole Max, my other best friend. My best friends and everyone who is here and for those who aren't. I couldnt have a better life right now. God has been good, and I am thankful and I will enjoy this Christmas and eat and be Merry. Just how it should be.

Merry Chrismas all :) I love you

The tao of the poopies

Yes folks its more like the Tale, or wagging tail =)

So tuesday Max gave me a heart attack. He basically ate 2 boxes of sees candy and chocolate can be lethal for dogs. So i got home he was already spazzing out running around NON stop.. it was crazy. The vet told me that if i didnt take him in he wouldnt live through the night... sigh.. what a terrible ordeal. Anyhow they kept him overnight, cleaned out his system and i got my doggie the next morning. They said he was already going through toxic shock that his body was reacting to the poison.. and that there was a chance he wouldnt make it. I was crying it was terrible... but hes back and im happy.. SOOOOO happy i have my dog. Not happy about the bill lol, but happy about mr Poopies. Im basically broke as a joke right now til after my first paycheck in january. Alex had to take back my xmas gifts to pay for his part. sigh... things could be much worse. It wouldnt be xmas without Max.

Anywho, til tomorrow and the final few days til its alllll over.

oh Stace and Eric, THANK YOU for the yummies... they were amazing... i had no idea either of you were betty crocker or martha stewart.. but you sure worked it out! Love ya both!

Ah well

I can't say I didnt give it an effort. I had entered a contest to get a Wii from Amazon. Well a chance to purchase one and well i was up til midnight to see the results.. and well i lost. I had a 28-1 chance to win the option to buy one.. and it just wasn't meant to be. Im a little bummed, but ill live and just wait til after the new year.

I have a great family, great friends, silly dog and a roof over my head. Thats more Wiiiiiii than I can handle :)

3 more days to go and then its the 4 day weekend and Xmas time... bless your souls friends!

Capitalists go home!

You ass hat capitalist! lol.

So this weekend I was up at the crack o dawn with my mother trying to get me a Nintendo Wii. There were sooo many people everywhere trying to get them. The problem is stores only got 12-20 each it looks like. We were at Target, Circuit City, Best Buy and calling around the world lol.

So why am i annoyed with the world about it? Because people were trying to sell their places in line and people were buying them just to sell them. The other issue is people who camped out got vouchers. They are insane lol. it was like 50 below saturday night. Anyhow supply in demand I guess. Not enough for every family to get one. The second I got home i checked ebay and craigslist and BOOM. millions of them lol. All for double the price.

So no Wii for me.. guess i just play with mah on wii wii that is LOL. (EEEEEEEEEEEEW!!) lol .

Aggression

I have spent most of my life in defensive-aggresive mode. Meaning, I wasnt the kind of person to take crap from people in any walk of my life. If you stepped up, id kick you down. If you got in my face, I would kick your teeth in. Its just the nature of what I thought was right. These last few years have been the change for me as I have made concious efforts to be a different person. I even went to therapy to help me deal with my aggression and anger etc this year. Why would I do this? You know I never used to question my motives until lately. I feel as iff I was letting down people and living life using fear tactics to control my surroundings. It was time a long time ago to be a better person.

We are creatures of habit they say and I will always have the aggro habit in me to break. The being an ass, a dick a jerk etc.. And it will creep out from time to time. I am FAR from perfect. But for me to have peace within and in my heart I needed to change. I needed to calm down, relax, be me with as little aggression as possible. Control my situations by doing the right thing and standing up for what I believe in. Don't get me wrong I can still step up the aggro when necessary, but I have done what I could personally to keep it away as long as possible with great results.

This last year though right when I have had it under control, I have been tested. I have had friends backstab me, friends show their true colors, People mistreating me because they are PMS'ing, or because they feel like it, Family causing drama and jealousy, and high school clique antics far past high school, etc.. And in the end many of these things hurt me and my normal reaction was to turn aggro and control their situation, treat you worse than you treated me.... As I get older I get more sensitive I guess.. however I realized how well I stuck to my guns and the plan for me to be a better person. How well I have handled myself and how my path has changed. Its all how I react, all how I deal with it. And as we close the year in a few weeks and I put this behind me.. I hope I do even better in the following year.

Blogging for the masses

And its time to shake yo asses. Or go to the gym daily to work them off... because its the season of the heffer. AND LAWD knows im no exception to the rule.

Today at work we are doing the holiday potluck. I went the lazy route and pick up the Potatoe Saladito and some cheeps. I didnt feel like cooking up anything honestly. Even though i was passed out asleep last night early.. I took a nap.. woke up waited for alex to come home and passed out before he got there lol. Ah well :) Hes off today. Hopefully well have happy couple evening :)

Any plans this weekend? I have dinner plans with my brother tomorrow night. awwwww fun family love time! WEEEEEEEEE!

Your a mean one Mister Grinch!

Joo Really are a heel! Joo have cookarachas in you chonies, you have mochos in your nose.. Senior Greeeench!

Last night we watched the Grinch awwww.. Nice quality Grinchy time. I love tv holiday flickaroos. And then we tried for the first time in our lifes to cut max's nails ourself. WHOOOH. That was entertaining. I have a scratch the size of texas on my stomach somehow lol. Max was fighting but we did it, we prevailed, and i think we can do it again. Saved us 12 bucks a month getting them done ourselves. Hopefully hell calm down more but overall weee!

Senior Chichi's why do you not call my house lol. I hate you =p Just kidding I love you.. OH can I love to hate you? HA! sexy!!!

Oh Greasy Bear

Its highly entertaining when we watch reruns of your anti lindsay campaign. Its even MORE entertaining when were watching them on E with my mom last night and my mom asks the question "Whats a firecrotch?" Try not to laugh explaining that one. Although it was easy.. I just said MOM Lindsay is a Natural Redhead... and her lightbulb went off. CLICK. DING. She got it folks. EL OH EL.

Life is good. :)

Well it happens.

So Friday I was having a great day. Had a great lunch with my coworkers we left home early.. I was going to go home and play video games and chill with Alex. I get the mail walk up stairs and open an urgent letter. And low and behold my christmas got shot.

Basically it was a urgent bill that I never knew existed because it was sent to an address that I moved from over a year and a half ago. It never went to my last address. So I got the final notice basically saying I owed 1k to Los Gatos Community Hospital for an emergency room visit. So I call my insurance, I call the hospital and im going back and forth and because I dont have 1k and I dont have it in 10 days or go to collections. I fought them went back and forth and well the proof they need I dont have and dont have way of getting it. So im stuck with the bill and i was crying when i was done. That just sucked. I was able to make a payment arrangment with them to avoid being sent to collections. Im trying to refinance next year and the last thing I need is a collections on my credit report that will screw me. Since it was the final notice they couldnt push it past a few weeks for my first payment.

So my extra xmas money i had to finish my shopping is now gone. POOF. I didnt get my coworkers gifts, my grandparents gifts (Alex is buying the Grandpy and Grammys thank god!), the kids gifts, my aunt, etc.. UGH. Alex is going to help me but I feel like hell LOL. But in general I am broke until Mid January to recover from this drama and eat the initial bill payment. Ill have money to eat and gas in my car and well I couldnt be happier. Life happens and it is good and it is bad. Its the Holidays and I have plenty to be thankful for.

Smokey Mountain XXXMas?

When I think of a Smokey Mountain XXXMas.. do you REALLY want to know what i think? Just ask Lumberjack Bob LOL.

Last night I made the killer chicken soup. I add my own kick to mine by adding Cut up Serrano Chiles.. its quite a spicy affair and Delicious. I Didnt have my usual OTHER ingrediant though which is a can of chopped tomatoes.. its quite delicious.. almost tortilla soupish with the tomatoes.. but NOT quite. To finish the evening, a batch of hefferoo Choco Chip Cookies. YUMMAY! DELICIOUSO!

Anyway. Its a rainy weekend starting tonight. I think Ill be cuddling up by the fireplace as much as possible.. Anyone want to cuddle? JUST KIDDIN! I Have Maxxie since alex will be werking. He gets off at like 11:30 Saturday UGH! WHat am I going to do with myself?? /cry

The gay holidays.

I was talking to a good friend of mine a couple days ago and she was telling me that her and her brother don't spend regular holidays with their family together because their parents wont go there with the gay thing and since her brother is gay, he can go home but his bf can't. Its one of those it is what it is things. I can relate:

This is also one of the big reasons why I will probably never spend another xmas with my dad as well or with that side of my family as well. I see it as a block in our life that their beliefs won't let people get past the fact that I am happy, I am not going to change, I am living my life for me and that I am truly blessed to have people in my life who aren't blind enough to see past their noses.

This where I count my blessings because my immediate family meaning my moms side for the most part accept and love US unconditionally. I thank GOD for my grandparents who are just amazing and love BOTH of us. Alex is part of my family, and god willing forever will be. He makes my holidays gay LOL. I can not WAIT til Christmas!!!!

Roo

So i noticed in my house we have a naming convention for all intent and purposes we will call it "Roo". Where did it come from? Who knows.. but let me explain it. In regards to Max, when he is stinky, he is Stinkaroo. If he is sniffing something, he is "Sniffaroo".. etc.. etc.. I find it quite silly... and it makes me happy.. then again it usually revolves around the dog lol. Who also goes by Poops, Peepee's, Maxxie, maxaroo, Max, Maxamillion, Lickeyfacey, little sugah etc..etc... god we are crazy... Crazyaroos that we are! LOL.

Anyone up for some more holiday shopping this weekend? I have a date with Carmensitas on saturday to get my xmas shop on. I still got gifties to get folks!!! WEEEEEEEEEEE

And it is written

Peter was the bomb.. It has to do something with Ted... I KNOW IT. Eden bit the dust, this was obvious. This is sad though because just when we were starting to feel the power of her character, which is overly powerful...a suicide to save her powers from Sylar and poof she was gone. At least it was heavily implied that she is gone and was the hero lost. I think the sacrifice is Nikki. Since she can't be trusted. Peters a power monger.. i can't wait to see what happens.. i know he doesnt die though. hes too pivotal. The Haitian wtf is up with him? I bet he works for Linderman watch! and I am sorry folks, but i have a Sylar fetish.. I think he is hot.. and whats odd is hes sorta average.. but i wouldnt mind being locked up in his cel LOL. Ah well January 22nd it is... we will wait won't we. To the rest of the TCC (Text Comadre Crew) We will need new material to last us til then. Any ideas?

So I got my haircut last night and im not too sure im feeling it. It looks OK, but im not too sure if i should have gotten it cut differently. me and my thinning head. and thats alot of head.

Salutations from the chichi gallery!

Does anyone else enjoy the holiday spirit as much as me? I LOVE the feeling of fall/winter, the closeness it brings to you and yours. The cold nights, the approaching holidays, the gifts, the drinky, the eating, the warmth of the fireplace, the Pine scents, ahhhhh and don't forget the LOVING. MMHMMM! Can i just tell you, that aint jack frost nipping at your you know whats, you know where! LOL DIRTY MINDED PEOPLE! It's all your fault! Keep your lovies close and keep warm with cuddling and the Whoopie! HAHAHAH DO YOU REMEMBER THAT???

We did lots of shopping this weekend and its quite a happy time for us. Im looking forward to the week, the coming weeks and the good times. I am pretty broke right now lol. Til next payday at least.. then im going to finish up that last shopping..weeeee!!!

Have a HAPPY HEROES MONDAY!!!

The blogger and the chichi

Yes it is a happy day because its the chichi.. and OMG you know what we missed ugly betty last night /cry!!! Its okay we are going to watch it tonight on the computer. Thank god for the big monitor.. well just sit and watch it :) weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Also I FINALLY picked up the Chavella Vargas "Live at Carnegie Hall" cd... and whooooah. Its hauntingly beautiful. If your a fan of rancheras from an old soul who virtually sounds like she is clinging to life at times.. its a must.

I also picked up Mejico Maxico by Mexican Institute of Sound. And another must have. Mirando a las muchachas is so loungy fun, and the cd is a audial treat of sounds. Its a very different sound, i would say if you like Kinky or Manu Chao, then you would appreciate the sexiness of this cd.

Okay done with the music.. its friday, TGIF!!!!! Im doing shopping this weekend.. anyone coming with?
