My Edward

Thank you NCS for the side by side you're the bestest!

Annie was over at my house and she looked at my engagement picture on my desk and she pointed to El Jefe and said , " He's Edward." I never noticed it before but I think she could be right, El Jefe does have a slight resemblance to Edward. I want to know your opinion.

It's all about the hair!

The evolution of Tom Hanks

(from left to right)

Tom in Bosom Buddies, Tom in Big, Tom In the DaVinci Code.

I would love to say that I came up with that all by myself but I didn't so I need to give props where props are due. I saw this on the Bonnie Hunt show this morning at work. I laughed out load in front guests eating their waffles and yogurt. Then I got embarrassed, then I got over it. Bonnie is so funny and down to earth. I would love for her to be my friend, Bonnie if your out there will you be my friend? Did I mention her hair, she's got great hair take a look for yourself.

I'm taking the above picture when I get my next hair cut.

You can feather the same cut for a updated Farah Fawcett how great is that?

Whatcha doing here? Go wish my seester a Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Little Sis! See what we have to look forward to.

Becoming in 2008

As I look back on 2008 I realize that I've changed and I became a few unexpected and fabulous things.

In May I became unemployed. I was told in the nicest possible way that after the Summer of Carrrie I would not have a job at the High School. I did such a great job with the boys I was working with that they no longer needed me, I would beg to differ.

Thanks to El Jefe after the summer I was back at the Hotel doing what I do best, making waffle batter, cleaning up after people and filling vending machines.

In August I went to the beach and I became IRL friends with a group awesome women. I also got to spend time with a few of my favorite bloggers I met in 2007 and got to know them better. I would say it was the highlight of 2008. Thank You ladies!



In October I became a fan of Luis Miguel. I went to see him in concert with Annie, NCS and my cousin queen K. Before I went I could only recognize one of his songs.I couldn't understand a word he was singing but it didn't matter he was terrific. If you like Ricky Martin and/or George Michael if you mush them together you get Luis.



In November I became a Wrestling Mom. Much to my surprise my oldest decided to go out for the wrestling team. I was thrilled to see him get off the couch and try something physical it wasn't the sport I would've picked for him. I get a little uncomfortable seeing boys rolling around in those singlet thingies. I always pictured him playing football or soccer. He seems to enjoy it and especially his new found muscles and the weight he has lost. Go RADCHAD!





In 2008 I also became one of them. You know one of those people who think that their dog is not just a dog but a person too. Yes, that's me I've gone loony for my new pooch Sarah Palin. She so cute, smart and sweet I can't bear the thought of leaving her home alone so I take her with me almost everywhere except for work. If El Jefe would let me I would. Come on who can blame me look at that face.


Who knows what 2009 will bring as far as I'm concerned the one thing I hope to become is thin.

I don't care who you are that there is funny

Internet Blackout 2008: An Update

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been on the Internets for a little while. My local wireless Internet provider was upgrading their towers and in the process we lost our signal... blah, blah, two weeks later it finally was fixed.
What did I do during the blackout? Well I'll tell you. I turned 39 thank you for all your sweet Birthday wishes. I got a haircut and a much needed eyebrow wax, can you say uni brow? I voted, my guy lost... c'est la vie. I had the flu it was awful I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

We welcomed a new addition to our family we adopted Little Sarah Palin.

A year ago we lost our Dachshund Sam to the coyotes. For about a month now my kids started to ask on a daily basis if we could get another dog. After much pleading and bargaining El Jefe agreed we could get a new dog. We found Sarah at the county animal control we knew she was special when we first saw her. She was all calm and happy in a room full barking hyper dogs. She is a Toy Poodle but she doesn't act like one. She is very friendly and hardly barks which is a big plus. She's a gem of a dog. We don't let Sarah outside alone we've learned our lesson and don't want to lose her to the coyotes. Guess who is gets to take the dog out at six in the morning in her pajamas and bed head? That's right, me.
