My Edible Arrangement

Here is a picture of the fruit basket and the balloon. Sorry it's kind of blurry. And that is my cubicle where I work. Isn't it nice? Those are my Elvis magnets in the background. I love Elvis!

Here is a closer look at the yummy fruits I got. I even shared some with my co-workers. It was so beautiful I didn't want to eat it but it looked so yummy so I had to dig in. Loved it! Thanks baby. :)

Happy Anniversary!

Today is my 11th yr Dating Anniversary with my husband. We met at Cal State Fullerton in the library on this day, 11 years ago. Wow, that sounds like ancient times. After that day, we have been inseparable. Well, we have gone through lots of stuff and I mean LOTS of STUFF. I have gone through thick and thin with him. I have really watched him grow into a man and I am so proud of him. When I first met him, he was just a little stuck up jock that thought the world revolved around him. And yes I still stayed with him. I guess it was fate. I had lots of patience and I believed that he was more than just a basketball jock. It took me many years to mold him into the man he is now. Well, God helped too. I had to get hurt many times and fight for him but at the end, I have this great man in my life. He is all that I ever wanted and more. He satisfies all my needs. I am so lucky to have him as my husband. I love you babe!

So today I got a phone call from the front desk telling me I had a package. She asked me if it was my birthday and I said no and thought what could it be. FYI, I have never gotten anything delivered to me at work. So I thought it might be a mistake. I walked down there and saw it was one of those Edible Arrangements and it had a balloon that said. "Happy Anniversary". It was beautiful! I will post a picture up when I get a chance. I was in shock and so happy at the same time. I would have never thought my husband would do something like this. He has never done anything like that in the 11 yrs we've been together. He really got me this time. Thank you for the wonderful fruit basket and I love you so much!

My husband has really grown into a great man. He has changed so much and I cant ask for anything more. I am just so happy. Happy Anniversary Baby!

Foot in the Mouth

I did something really stupid on Monday at work and regret it tremendously. If you know me, then you know that I am a very sensitive person. I sometimes take things way too personal and let things get to me. I have a hard time distinguishing between jokes, dry humor, sarcasm, and being serious. I guess it has a lot to do with my growing up. I was always talked down to and belittled so when I hear things that are negative about me or anything negative at all, I tend to believe it. At my last job, my old supervisor would never tell me I did anything good, but when I made a mistake, she then would give it to me. I have had times where people had to tell me they were joking so I wouldn't take it the wrong way. I guess you can say I am naive but not stupid. I might do stupid things but it doesn't make me stupid. But if it's about me or a friendship with someone, then I am going to take it serious. What happened was that I took something that someone said to me in the wrong way and was hurt by it. The stupid thing I did was I vented it out on my work email which I should know better because we have been told not to do so but I was just so upset and not thinking that I just typed up something fast and sent it. Thinking nothing about it and then to find out I sent it to the person I was venting about. Well, you can say it's Karma but in a way it was a lesson learned in my part because I am never doing that again. I need to start being more assertive and approach people and let them know how I feel. This will be very hard for me to do but I have to do it. It is a growing process. I hardly got any sleep last night because I was thinking about it all night. I couldn't eat dinner because I was sick to my stomach. The reason why I felt like this was because I truly felt hurt about what was said and it was someone I thought very highly of and thought was a close friend of mine. I guess misunderstandings can be hurtful but I just wish I wasn't so darn sensitive. I always wished I could be like those people who just don't give a damn about what anyone said or thought about them. I think they are so cool. So I decided last night I was going to approach her and talk to her about it. 

So today was the most awkward day. Even more then my first day at work. I felt as if I was going to get a call telling me to pack up my things and leave. I have never felt so scared and terrified before at work. I really thought that today was going to be my last day and I was going to get fired for not being professional at work. I am so glad I went to talk to her about it because we got to share our feelings and worked things out. But even though we did talked, I still feel like I messed up a friendship and the bond between us will never be the same. I only wish I could take it all back and I do it differently, but it's too late. The damage is done and I just hope that she can find it in her heart to forgive me and give me another chance. 

I'm Melting!

I cant stand this heat! I'm dying here. Is is Summer already because it sure feels and looks like it. People are already at the pool laying out and swimming. I am not ready for the summer. I still have winter clothes in my closest.

We went to Knot's Berry Farm yesterday and that was a BIG mistake because it was so HOT and there was like TONS of people. We stayed for about 4 hours and I was seriously dehydrated. We then went to Pat and Oscar's and I think I drank more than eat. If it is this hot already then I bet the Summer is going to be a killer. I might have to move up North to cool off. I love the cold. I have to say I am loving my AC right now! I feel for the people who don't have AC. Poor you! I feel for you.

Anyhow, I'm home alone enjoying the AC and have nothing to do. I guess I could work on my knitting project. Kinda hungry so I think I will fix me something to eat. TTFN!

Like Music?

I was browsing and found this new blog so I added it in my favorites. Check this blog out:  http://earpleaser.blogspot.com/ .If you like music then you might like it. I loved it because I love all kinds of music. Check it out and let me know what you think. I love how he has this play list thing. I wish I could add that on to my blog but I cant figure out how he did it. If you anyone knows how to add a music play list on your blog can you please leave me a message on how to. Thanks! 

Hallelujah!

God is amazing! So my husband has been in debt forever (not really, but it feels like it) and has his last credit card bill which is over $6000. We have been saving and saving and praying and praying that the company would settle with an amount we could pay off. Well, they wouldn't do it and last month we got a knock on the door and my husband got served a summon. AHHHHHH! We were so scared. I had never seen that happened before. So I started to panic and of course freaked out. But then I realized God was in control of this. So my husband and I kept praying over it. My husband knew someone who was a lawyer so we got some legal advice and help from him. Let me tell you, he is an Angel sent from God because he must have battled it on with that agencies lawyer. He got them to settle for $4400! Hallelujah!!! Praise the Lord! Since my husband does basketball coaching and training, he happened to get paid today and paid it in full! Now that is no accident. That is all God's doing and He is awesome. Today, my husband is debt free! That just sounds so good. It is such a relief and the greatest feeling. Now we can have a fresh new start. I am so happy and feel so blessed. Thank you God!!!!

I am exhausted!

I had a community event for work at 7am today so my husband had to take time off from work to take my son to school. Thanks honey! :) I was so happy I got there on time because I was so worried I was going to get lost (which I usually do even with my GPS system), or traffic which is never predictable. Only thing that really sucked was that no one else was there on time. I think our agency was the only one that was there early and ready by 7:30am like they wanted. So my partner and I sat there for an hour just talking because there was nothing else to do. And to top it off, I was thinking since we had to be there early that they would have coffee or something for us but I was wrong. BUT we did get a nice snack bag with a bottle of water, an orange, and a granola bar which came in handy. Oh, and they even had a farmer's market there with mango (LOVE IT), boysenberries, apples, and oranges. What's funny is that we never know how many people are going to be at these events so it's really hard for us to know how much stuff to bring. Well, we got cleaned out today. I have never ever had an event where I got cleaned out. Seriously, they brought loads of people in a school bus and they came on a schedule so it was one after another. I think there must have been at least 200 families there. Isn't that crazy! Well, I am glad because we got the chance to tell these families about our agency and they seemed very happy to hear about our services. It was just a very long day. At least I got to leave work early and now I can rest at home. I think I will go to bed early. :)

Not sure on why this picture wont let me rotate it. Sorry about that. 

OK I know this plumeria plant looks pathetic BUT it's not dead! I have had about 8 of these plants and killed them all!!! And this is the only one I have had for over 6 months and it's growing. SO it is the most beautiful plant I have ever had. It has leaves. Next I'm hoping I get flowers this summer. This is my very last one I have so it cant die. It just cant. I just don't have a green thumb. Whatever that means! I cant keep plants alive. I just pray this one keeps alive long enough to give me flowers. I will keep you posted. 

Yeah! I dont have to cook dinner!

My husband brought home dinner tonight from Boston Market! :) I love that! I don't have to cook. Woo Hoo!

OMG! My husband just dropped the news that he is going to meet up with one of the trainers for the LA Galaxy! Ahhhhh! My supervisor is going to scream when she finds out. She is totally in love with him. I told my husband to get whatever he can get his hands on that has David Beckham on it. Hehee :)

TTFN!

Monday, Monday

I'm trying out this video download from blogger. It's cool but it takes way too long! It took me an hour to down load this video. That is ridiculous.

Here is a video of my son in his Musical Theatre class.

What a nice day

Wow, the weather today was just perfect. What a beautiful day. Yesterday was kind of yucky but I loved the cold. We went out and saw a movie at the dollar movie theatre. We saw the Spiderwick Chronicles and it was pretty good. There were some parts of the movie that were a little scary for my son but over all it was a pretty good one. I even cried in the end. We then went out to eat with my parents at Hometown Buffet. They are having this special where kids eat for only $1.99 Monday through Sat for dinner only. It was so crowded there with kids. It was crazy. The food there is not gourmet but it is good and it's cheap. It's only good if you are very hungry though because it wouldn't be worth it if you to a buffet and just eat a little. 

Today we went to church and then came home and we are just resting. My mom came by and took my son to the park. So I have some quiet time to myself before my husband gets home. Oh, speak of the devil....he is home. And now my son is home too. Quiet time is over for me. What was that? 5 minutes of alone time? That's all I get. Oh well, I better go. 

Disappointed in McDonald's

So the parent teacher conference went very well. My son's teacher said that his behavior has improved and he is doing great in his class. I was so happy to hear that he was not acting up anymore in class. His reading has improved too. So looks like he is starting to grow up. 

Since my son had a good week I took him to McDonald's. I am really upset at the costumer service there. Why is it so hard to make a hamburger with only ketchup? I got the the hamburger with the sticker that even states ketchup only but when my son opened it up because he will not eat mustard or onions, he said this is not ketchup only. So I took it back to the manager and he gave me a new one with ketchup only. Why couldn't they just have done it correctly the first time? This happens way too many times. There should be a hot line to call to make these complaints because I'm sure there would be a lot of them. I love their food but they need to work on their costumer service. 

OMG! My neighbor has this baby that does not ever stop crying. Before they had the baby, they had this BIG dog that barked all day long. Then we found out she was pregnant and we just knew it would not be fun because we knew that they would just let the baby cry like they do with the dog. And we were right. I don't know what they are doing over there to this baby but I swore she cries like she is hurt or just neglected and left alone. She does this squealing scream that just drives me crazy like the chalkboard crash. I want to call the police sometimes because they let her cry like that for hours and I don't know how they can just ignore that. Isn't that like child abuse? It just doesn't seem right. That's why I don't want anymore children because I don't want to hear them cry. I hate it! Our neighbor are not very friendly people either. We hear them banging and hitting things all the time. When we see them outside, they seem upset all the time. So I don't think they are very happy. 

SAT

Can you believe that my son is taking the SAT's in first grade? I am so nervous for him. They are taking it all week. And if he doesn't pass I think they don't get to pass to the next grade. Now I am really scared for my son. I know he is smart and all but he has a listening problem and most of the SAT is listening and answering questions. I just pray he does well. He comes home every day telling me it was easy which makes me even more scared. I use to hate taking the SAT, ACT, or any of those test. I have a parent teacher conference tomorrow at lunch so I will find out how he did on the test this week.

Feed Up!

So my son started the day off with an attitude with me and thinks he can get away with it. He apparently thinks that he can get away with things with me and never ever attempts the things he does to me to my husband. He first snapped his tongue at me when I told him he couldn't take something to school. I don't know if you know what that means but its when you snap your tongue and it makes a very annoying noise that makes a mother want to slap their child across the face. Then he didn't finish his breakfast and goes to throw it away in the trash. I made him sit back down and finish every last drop of his breakfast and then told him off. I got a wooden spoon and slapped his hands for snapping at me. He was in shock when I did that and he grabbed me and said he was sorry. Can you believe that? Who does he think he is. He must have thought he was grown and paid some bills around here or something. Anyways, so after that incident, he was all sweet and nice to me. Why do they have to test us?? I just don't understand them.

So I got my friend at work sick and she had to leave work early today. :( I feel so bad. I stayed home for a week and didn't go back until all my antibiotics was done so I don't know how I gave it to her. I feel really awful about it. She really looked sick today. I hope she gets better tonight and doesn't get any worse.

Oh, I don't know if I told you about the end results of my husband's sleep problem. So he went to that lab where he slept there for two nights and they found out that he did have a slight condition of sleep apnea and now they will be sending him this machine he has to wear at night to sleep. Now this machine is suppose to help him sleep better without snoring but my husband says it does make a humming noise. So what is better......snoring or humming???? Neither one! How does this help me? It doesn't! I was hoping that he would just take something and it would stop the noise but no now I will have to sleep to humming. I cant win! But lately I have to say I haven't heard him snore that much so I don't know if maybe he is getting better sleep or what but it hasn't been that bad where I had to kick him out of the bed. :)

TTFN!

Same Old Stuff

Today went by really fast for me. Work was the same old stuff. Came home and cooked and had dinner ready, waiting for my husband and my son. We ate early and then my son went outside to play for awhile. My husband is doing his usual business stuff on the computer and I am playing around on itunes. Other than that, the day is almost over and nothing really happened today. Oh, I am almost finished with my knitting project I'm doing. I will put a picture up of my first scarf. I am so proud! :) I never thought I would like knitting but I have to say it is very soothing. I love the end result because I get to wear my finished product! :) I will also take a picture of this project when I am done and post it up. Later.......

Still Sick!

I cannot believe I haven't shaken this cold off yet! I really just want to be better already. I had a really hard time getting up this morning. This heat is killing me. This weekend we left the AC on all weekend and never turned it off. Ahhh, that was nice! We never do that so I'm sure our electric bill will be higher than usual. Thank God for AC. Well, just finished dinner and I think I will be off to bed early tonight. 

So sick of being sick!

Well the reason why I haven't been writing is because I have been sick with Strep. I don't think I have ever been this sick before. I had a temperature of 102.9 and I felt like crap! The doctor was really worried about my tempt and wanted to give me a shot of antibiotics right there and then but luckily I was allergic to penicillin so I got away! I hate shots. And my son was there with me so I can have him seeing me cry like a baby. But I was so happy when I got my drugs. I am just now finally starting to feel a little back to normal. I mean that I can actually function and have a conversation with someone. My voice was gone completely and I couldn't even breathe because I was so congested. I wouldn't curse this on anyone because it was a bad, really bad disease. The doctor says it's going around so I just hope my family doesn't get it. I have been staying in my room and I kicked my husband out so he has been sleeping on the couch so they wont get it. Poor baby. He got to sleep on the bed last night and he was out cold by 9pm and that is not normal for him. I still am feeling weak but just glad I am not stuck in bed anymore. I hate just laying in bed and doing nothing. I would rather be at work. Isn't that sick? But it's true. I cant just do nothing. It drives me crazy. I went back to work today and I was happy to go back. It was hard to talk on the phone because I kept coughing but at least there wasn't that many calls today. I am praying that tomorrow will be the same. TTFN!
