In class again

Yes I am sitting in class again bored. Well I am waiting for it to start.

So I started applying for jobs. My favorite, of course, is the museum one. As I think most people who know me I have always wanted to work in a museum. I also applied for a part time online teaching position. It pays nothing but the experience will be worth it for later. I am hoping to do it for about 6 months. It's evening hours anyway.

Well I am blown away with how Houston is recovering from Ike. It is so surreal for me to hear and read about the damage and the aftermath. Luckily, our house is fine. Alex' dad already checked it out. He even hired someone to pick up the branches already.

On another note, things are pretty tight around here. There were a few moments when we didn't know what we were going to do. But we came through.

Last thing, I have never read an Ann Rice book have you?
Here is a link to her website: Ann Rice
Just in case you don't know who she is!
Miami is coming up fast and furious!!
Ta, ta for now
dee

Happy New Year!

It is exciting to be back! I am here at school everyone else is having problems getting online! lol
So many things have happened since we came back from Houston. Just Houston was a crazy trip in itself, lol.

Well, lets see, I walked in on M and her new man!!! That was quite embarrasing. Even so he is a twenty five year old hottie! Yum Yum!

David's back at school. His teacher is an older teacher and we will see how that goes.

Daniel is not sleeping well, that's annoying.

Back in class today is cool cause I know most of my classmates. I am very shy, no matter what people say so when I already know people I can be myself!

Ummm let's see...
Can't wait to see that woman movie,
I've been cooking
Oh yeah
Nana went to the hospital Friday night cause she had the stomach flu like us. Alex also got it and he was like giving us his farewells. So now I know it runs in the family.

I bought some new shoes and people actually noticed them. They were on sale and I needed some slip ons.
hmmmm....
guess that's it for now.

Long time

It has been a while! Well class is over as of last week and what a killer it was! Alex' grandma leaves tomorrow. My brother is in town and I made it through my first earthquake.

Yes I said earthquake! It was pretty surreal.
So I finally read, since class was ending I knew I put myself in jeopardy by starting a novel or two. So in one weekend I read the first two books of the twilight series and I am hooked.

I finished the third book and for the first time, I think I will re-read a book. I can't wait to be back in Houston, even if it is for a few weeks. If only to get away from all the drama! lol
I am also looking forward towards the girl's trip. That will be very cool.
Hey on another note it's kind of weird cause tonight, Nana was sooo jealous of me. I've noticed it before but I wasn't sure. She is so insecure, I mean you have to be to be jealous of me! lol Yes V is pining after me, ha ha! Joking, no she was jealous of Grandma and me. So strange! Ah well guess it's more drama, lol

Summer is here! Well almost we still have two weeks, I know those Californians! So I will be living at V's house for a few weeks. Yes he will be my new bff. Okay so I will lock the restroom when I go over. But I am willing to go through hell and back (literally to their house and mine). You may ask why? I say can't a girl change her mind about things? Okay, okay there is a very good reason.
Today Alex' Grandma came from Colombia and she will be staying with them. I think most of you have met her right? She is amazing and being around V just to hang out with her is soooo worth it. Really she is like my own grandma. Not like the one I had at all. She is just perfect. Mine was just really traditional and a bit on the dry side, but a good woman none the less. But Alex' Grandma has a special place in my heart!

So V. here I come!!
Opps almost forgot to tell....Daniel is walking! God help us all!

Lately I have been soooo tired!
Anyway yesterday Carlos talked us into having a bbq. It was actually pretty cool. We also celebrated Maggie's birthday. Nana and V came like 4 or 5 hours late.

Today Marcela, Alex' cousin came over to hang out. We took Daniel to Gymboree and she came with. She spilled the scoop on living with Nana and V. She says its all good but that she gets tired of his jokes. He tried to gay hate and she was like I have a lot of gay friends. He cut it out. She is pretty straight up, hence I like her. I told her to go volunteer at the school when she gets bored. She liked the idea. She also filled me in on a lot of other gossip. Then I felt bad because I guess Nana has been going through some rough times. I had kind of backed off because I can't stand V. It's just that they are constantly together. Seems things are not going well between them.

Summer is near!

Hello again! Wow what a weekend! It was sooooo hot!! So pretty much the whole weekend I was at the pool. But you won't believe how "cute" things are getting around here. On Friday was movie night. The closed of the parking lot in downtown and then put up a screen and showed the Little Rascals. It was cool everyone brought lawn chairs or blankets. The kids were actually really good watching the movie, everyone that is Danny boy!! A group close to us had brought cushions to lay and Daniel kept crashing on their bed rather than on our blanket. It was soo strange. That little boy and his antics. If I have gray hair when I go back to visit it will be because of him!! :)
Hey then on Wednesdays they are going to have a farmer's market in the parking lot behind our house! How cool is that?

I miss home though. It's weird. I will be fine one moment but then it will just hit me and I will be sad. I can't wait to go and see yall!

Okay, besides the home sickeness I think the mean girl is finally coming out! I have finally decided that I don't care whether V is family or not he's annoying. So I just limit the amount of talk that I do when he's around. I pretty much ignore that he is there and unless I have to speak to him I don't.

Hey in the car today Carlos said "Hey you know who you remind me of?" I was like who? You won't believe it!! He said "That girl from the movie Mean Girls. The character of Lindsey Lohan." He laughed. But I laughed harder because I thought yey! I am becoming a mean girl again!

So Danny and David's party turned out great, despite the fire!
We had it that Friday and the smoke was all cleared out! Did I tell you how close the fire came? It came up to the drive ways of some houses but made it no further!!! Crazy huh?

Well LC you will be happy to know that Danny hates my mother n'law! Not really hates but he doesn't like being in the same room. Sorry I didn't call you back the other night, battery went out and Carlos was over.

I created a start page with html and CSS for my class. Basically it's my home page with all the links I use. I was going to attach it but it only works in mozilla firefox.

So Alex's cousin Marcela is staying with Nana and Victor! They are off our backs for a while!! But they are trying to pass themselves off as healthy people! They are going joggin with her and taking walks, it's pretty funny I wonder how long they will keep it up! Oh I have to tell you something funny that happened!

We were having an early dinner at the village pizza shop in town and who should walk up? Our health freak friends
