Don't you hate it when..

.. you order something online, you wait for it, and then when it arrives.. it just doesn't look as good as it did online. That ticks me off.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Yesterday was my Mom and aunts birthday..

and today is my Grandmas birthday!

Happy 85th Birthday Grams!

Love you lots!

(I don't have an available picture of my Grandma, so Tweety's Granny will have to work!)

Random Pictures

I never delete pictures off my camera after I upload them.. so my camera is constantly out of space. Most of the time, I have to delete a few pictures just so I can take a few pictures. Which sucks when you are trying to take a picture in a hurry! So today, I uploaded every picture on my camera so I have back up just in case I ever need them again. So finally my camera has lots of room.. By the way, I deleted about 530 pictures!!

Here are some random pictures I liked:

Jackson - Christmas 2007

Marley & Mia sitting in the window

Both looking, both eyes open! that never happens

Marley loves chasing the laser pointer

Me.. being dumb,

trying to take a quick picture of Mia

Happy Birthday, Mom & Aunt Clonda

Today is my mom and aunts birthday...

just wanted to say Happy Happy Birthday!

Clonda and My Mom - Back in the day :D

Save-the-Dates

7 woman..

6 hours..

a million ideas..

and a lot of coffee!!

Yesterday, my aunts.. my mom.. my cousin and me all headed down to the ranch in Lexington to work on Jennifer's wedding invitations. We actually only accomplished the save the dates on this particular trip. She had a few ideas to start with and we just kind of went from there... every now and then problems would pop up and we would have to find a way to work it out.. but I think they really came together nicely in the end.

Aliya

Thursday we went to Maudie's for Chris's birthday.. (Chris is my friend Brandy's boyfriend, and Aliya's dad) Aliya is soo cute! and getting so big! She is almost 4 months old. Just wanted to post a picture of her cute little face!!

The Worm on The Apprentice!

I have only watched one season of The Apprentice and I think I started about midway through.. so I am not a big fan of this show. However, I am a big fan of Dennis Rodman.. for some reason he has always intrigued me.. so I am a little excited to see him back on TV again! I watched when he had his show on MTV called The Rodman World Tour and when he won the Celebrity Mole. Actually, they have a few other people I might end up cheering on as well.. like Clint Black, Hershel Walker (Can't route against an old Dallas Cowboy!), Jesse James, Tom Green (he might end up annoying the crap out of me though) and TBoz from TLC.. I think I will be ok as long as Joan and Melissa Rivers get cut early!!

By the way.. the show starts next Sunday :D

Valentine's Day

Diego and I had plans to go to dinner the evening of Valentine's day with our friends Reno and Allison.. but we didn't have anything planned for during the day. Luckily, our income tax refunds were deposited into our account on Friday. So.. we decided to go look at tattoos! I had been wanting to do something with the ugly butterfly tattoo I have on my back. I got the tattoo on a whim, when I was 18.. needless to say.. I'm no longer a fan of it! It was really dark, and pretty generic. I wanted to add some vines and flowers too it.. and that's what I ended up getting on Saturday. It wasn't exactly how I wanted it, but I do think it looks better than it did. Diego on the other hand got a really cool, Dia De Los Muertos sugar skull on his arm.

I was planning on taking a before and after picture of my tattoo.. but as I went to take a picture of it... my damn camera died. It had been working earlier in the day.. but was definitely not turning on anymore. (yes! it was charged) So.. oh well no before picture. After my tattoo was done, Diego still had lots more to go.. so I went to the store and bought a new camera. I had been wanting a Nikon Coolpix - the plum colored one. When I got to the store, I immediately fell in love with the more expensive one. So I got that one! annnd.. I LLLOOVE it! It's so neat!

My new camera - mine is black though

So when I got back to the tattoo shop, I started taking pictures. Oh, the name of the shop is Resurrection Tattoo, it's on South Lamar near Oltorf.

Here are the pictures:

Before they put the light blue in

All finished back at home

Here is mine.. before it was just the butterfly. He made the butterfly look better also

After we finished with the tattoos.. we rushed home, changed and went to dinner. We ate at PF Chang's.. it was very good! We had desserts in shot glasses.. it was neat because everyone got what they wanted.. and it wasn't a huge dessert! Diego got carrot cake, and I got lemon tart.

At PF Chang's

After we ate, we went to the Cedar Door to have a drink.. and then we went to the Tiniest Bar in Texas. It was a nice laid back atmosphere. We had some drinks and chatted for a while. I played with my camera also.. and found out it has a ton of cool settings.

I'm not a big drinker, but I always leave room for margaritas!

Reno and Allison

We had an all around good day!

Life in the Fish Bowl

Since I last reported on the fish bowl. White fish died. The new orange fish with black fins.. died. Specs was all by his lonesome. I noticed he was getting bigger and seemed to be do just fine.. so I figured it was time to give him a buddy. Insert TJ aka Todd Jr. Please excuse the name.. that was a something put together by Diego and Brad. I prefer TJ. Specs and TJ are bffs! TJ is also orange with black fins..

Happy Birthday, Mia!

Yesterday was Mia's 5th birthday!
I can't believe it's been 5 whole years since I got her.
I love her to death.. even though she's moody.
It took me forever to get a picture of her face,
so I had to hold her down.
She wasn't very happy with me!

Jin is alive!!!! YAYAY!

Now Sun can chill out.. Hopefully, next week Ben will convince her that he is alive and they will all go back to the island and stop all this time travel before Sawyers nose starts bleeding!


Oh and I soo knew that was Danielle's boat/raft, and then when I saw the pregnant belly.. it was confirmed!!


To me.. this season is getting better and better!

Another Double Feature Weekend

Once again, I saw two movies in one weekend. This time both movies were great! Friday, I didn't have much going on, since Diego has gone back to work.. I don't know what to with myself on my Fridays off!! So, I went to the movies by myself... Does this make me a loser? I've done it before and I really don't mind it at all. This time I actually snuck in Subway :D that's one good reason to carry a big purse! Anyway, I saw Slumdog Millionaire. Very good movie, I really enjoyed it.

Then on Saturday, Diego, Chubbs and I went to go see Gran Torino. There were definitely a LOT of racial slurs towards the Asians, in the movie. Even though, I know it's not right.. it was still kinda funny.. Clint Eastwood did an awesome job! I laughed and even cried a little during this movie. It was even better than Slumdog Millionaire in my opinion. I can not believe this movie was not nominated for any academy awards! I think Gran Torino deserves best picture and I think Clint Eastwood deserves best actor! At least a nomination! Come on!

Speaking of the Oscars.... How the hell does Robert Downey Jr. get nominated for Tropic Thunder?
