Smackdown

Posted on October 29, 2008
I’m sick. Blah. I just need a hug today. Voted today (yay Obama) and then stopped at Einstein Bros. bagels for a cup of coffee. It was 8:15. And sitting in front of me in line was my Dad. Who was supposed to be at work. Yep, back to his [...

Huh.

The weirdest thing on my trip to California? The Republican lesbian from Dallas who was sitting behind us spitting into a cup (I have no idea why…), waxing poetic about the Sarah Palin biography she was reading and talking about how challenging it was to visit San Francisco and see all the pro-Obama signs...

Awesome Weekend

Posted on October 27, 2008
Contented sigh. I may have just had the most relaxing vacation ever. Having spent years vacationing with my family and rarely alone or with someone whose company I truly enjoy, I can’t remember the last time I’ve had such a good time. Now my mother’s travel attitude did show up a bit [...

Roundup

Posted on October 27, 2008
I know I have the roundup this weekend but it just isn’t going to happen until tomorrow. Probably tomorrow night. Just got back from a very relaxing weekend that ended on just a bit of a tense note and I’m not in the mood for blogging right now...

Yawn

Posted on October 24, 2008
It’s 11:15. I worked until 9 and had to run errands on the way home. I swear, sometimes preparing for a vacation is more exhausting than anything else. Got the wrong colored pantyhose and had to go exchange it and now I’m home ironing clothes...

Wow!

Posted on October 21, 2008
I am having such a good day. Seriously, everything has fallen into place. Even the crappy calls with Chapin ended on a good note at the end. So here are some examples: 1) An initiative that I’ve been trying to get off the ground at work finally fell into place and more quickly [...

Back to Normal

Posted on October 21, 2008
Remember yesterday when I said Chapin was being fairly nice? Well that lasted about 12 hours. He called me freaking 20 times today for various crap. I hung up on him once. He flipped out over something Blue Eyes did (although he doesn’t know about Blue Eyes, he found something in [...

Blogging Risks and Rewards

Posted on October 20, 2008
I’ve talked about blogger anonymity in the past but a classmate encouraged me to speak about it again after I fake-hid from him in the hallway knowing from my stat checker that he’d read a certain post the night before. [For the record, he said he found the post entertaining...

Getting Gone Again!

Posted on October 20, 2008
Not only am I going to spend this weekend in San Diego, but I now have to go to Fort Worth for a business trip the first week in November. Man, I’m getting around!!! Now I just need to see if my friend, Elicia, wants to get together for dinner since I will [...

How do you pick a paper topic?

Posted on October 20, 2008
So this semester I have my first paper-as-final (two actually) and I am stumped. This should NOT be hard and yet I just can’t choose a topic. I think it is because there is so many ways I could go and also because there is already a lot out there...

Update on Chapin

Posted on October 20, 2008
Saw him this morning. It was amazingly easy. We met at a gas station on my way to work. I said hi and he said hi back. I handed him the item he had asked me for and he thanked me. I said (in Spanish), “Okay, well, I’m off to [...]

Identity Theft and Undocumented Immigrants

Posted on October 20, 2008
Purchasing “papers” from a guy on the corner of a heavily immigrant-populated community is so commonplace that most undocumented immigrants don’t even bat an eyelash at doing so. Often coming from a cash economy, they may not consider or even be aware of the impact employment or financial choices made using those documents could [...

Product Reviews

Posted on October 19, 2008
[Adult Content] A few people e-mailed me asking for a follow-up on something I made a comment on the other week. Since a few e-mailed, I would imagine a few more are wondering. Maybe not. But I’m of the opinion that when you find a good thing (or spend $130+ on a [...

Chapin’s Back

Posted on October 19, 2008
At 8:30 tonight, I walked in the house and into my son’s room to see him with the hugest grin he’s had in months. It was fantastic. He spent the afternoon reconnecting with his Dad. According to Pumpkinhead, they played his Nintendo, went out for Chinese and took a nap together...

The Return Part 2

Posted on October 19, 2008
Chapin is on a plane. He arrives at 1:30 today. Right now I’m printing copies of the divorce decree, custody calendar, school contact info, etc. for him. My Dad needed to use his truck so we weren’t able to drop it at the airport. So Dad will be picking Chapin up...

Saturday

Posted on October 18, 2008
Had a crazy week at work and should probably head back over there today to get some more stuff done for the international folks who will be in their offices tomorrow because of the time difference. But for now I am having “me” time. I’ve got my track suit on, hair up (Saturday [...

Getting Gone

Posted on October 16, 2008
So I stopped by Blue Eyes’ place on the way home tonight to show off my new tattoo (I think even he was shocked - LOL). And he mentioned that, by the way, he was told today that he is getting a free trip to San Diego next weekend and would I like to [...

Wine Time

Posted on October 16, 2008
Ana’s bar is very cool. Mellow, peaceful, nice. It’s a hole in the wall that I probably wouldn’t have found had she not described it for us. I arrived 15 minutes late because work exploded into craziness today (barely escaped and, had I not had the lure of Girl Time, I may [...

Crazy Bloggers

Posted on October 16, 2008
I’m meeting Ana for wine tomorrow. Yee-haw. (I know you are super jealous.) And another local blogger but I don’t have permission (not that I asked) to mention his/her name so I won’t. What I think is absolutely hilarious is that it is almost 1 a...

You Don’t Know Me

Posted on October 16, 2008
I’m a fun girl. I have a big heart and I love to sing out loud at the top of my lungs and hug a good friend. I’ll dance in the rain with you or get up and do karaoke. I adore a good microbrew and a thick juice steak with the [...]

Shoot

Posted on October 15, 2008
The New York Times just gave me this nice reminder that what should be a weekly shot is well overdue. Darn tingling legs and arms weren’t enough to do it - had to read about it. LOL. Off to take care of my nerve-damaged self and then hit the hay...

Upgraded

Posted on October 14, 2008
Well I broke my blog. But then I fixed it with some fancy backend code editing. Woo-hoo. Feeling proud of my mad coding skillz. I successfully upgraded some files that required updating, added additional plugins, put my e-mail address on the About Me page and fixed my blogroll...

Ink

Posted on October 12, 2008
Okay, details, details. I thought about doing something related to Pumpkinhead but couldn’t think of anything that I would really want. Decided instead to celebrate my heritage. I need to find someone who can actually draw but here’s some images I love that I want to put together into one image...

Maybe Mom should be a four-letter word

Posted on October 12, 2008
Ack. Yes, I know. My parents are letting me live with them and offering me an incredible amount of support during a time when I need them more than ever. But I swear somedays I just want to THROTTLE my mother for her passive-aggressive bullshit. God forbid she should just say [...
