Summer '09

Summer is basically in full swing. Cool. I was on summer break back in January. But it isn't the same without the weather I guess. Anyways, every summer I tend to make a list of things I want to do during that summer. And to be completely honest, the list always fails. But it's the thought that counts right? Right. So I am going to start a list right now of what I want to do this summer.

-Get insanely drunk every night.

Alright. Thanks for looking at my list.


Just kidding.

1. Learn to play any instrument. And I mean ANY instrument. But preferably, I would like to learn to play the guitar or the piano. Reason behind this: I am the only child in my family that is not musically inclined. Fail. So this summer, I have the chance to learn both instruments being that we have a piano and a guitar in my house. So hopefully by the end of the summer, I will know how to play something.
2. Dance. I think I'm finally ready to go back. And I might as well. I don't do anything else besides work. It is something I miss a lot. It is a part of me that I left behind. And I miss it. I might as well, right? And on top of that, I miss everyone at the studio. They always make me laugh =]
3. Make new friends. I'm not saying I don't like my friends. Not by any means. What I am saying is, I want to expand my social network I guess? If that's the right way to explain it. It will give me a more exciting social life. Maybe.
4. Go camping. This is on the list every summer. And it never happens. But this summer, I am determined that it will happen. Even if it is just in my own backyard. So be it.
5. Leave the state at least once. Even if it is for a short drive to Vegas or a road trip to see my babies. Either way, it will be good. I like driving. So I guess this would qualify as a roadtrip. Unless I go to Hawai'i ;]
6. Paint. Once again, I'm not the most creative cat in my family. So pretty much anything to do with the arts will be great for me.
7. New piercing. I think I'm overdue for my next big body escapade.
8. Continue finding myself. These past couple of months, I have grown so much. I honestly love it. I haven't been this happy in a long time. And I really mean it. The suprising part is, I am happy being alone. That is something I never thought would happen for me. I always used to need someone there by my side to think that I was happy. Not until recently did I realize, I am content being here alone. Tonie is the one that put the next few sentences into my mind and by no means am I angry. Basically all of my closest BFF's now have a significant other so of course they are going to spend most of their time with their bf's/husband (because only 1 of my bff's have a husband). It is expected. Tonie went on about how I never see any of my friends anymore because they are too busy with their boyfriends, etc etc. Had this been happening last year, I would have been having a hissy fit and bitchy and just not fun to be around. Just ask Nikki. Now, I don't care. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I have grown up and accepted it I think? Things like this are going to happen. And it's ok. I am happy being here just doing my thing on my own. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I am happy. And that is all that matters. It's been a long time coming, but it has finally happened. And I am even more happy to know that I am happy alone. No friends, no significant other. Just me. And that's the way it should be. Of course I love my friends and they make me happy. But first, I need to be happy by myself and with myself before anything else. I've grown. And I'm glad.
9. Beach it up as much as possible. Given.
10. Tell Tonie about the tattoo. Everyday lately, I have been so tempted to tell her. But it is so hard for me to say it to her. And I think she already knows. But I'm scared of how she will react.

Thats about it for now.

Monday Night T.V. Review.

First on the list was Jon and Kate plus 8. One word to describe it: SAD! It makes me sad. They are pretty much America's family and it is sad watching them fall apart. I just want to give them a hug. And I want to punch all thos papparazo's following them around. I feel bad for them. Why? Why? WHY! I feel like its me going through this and it makes me sad. But I still don't like Kate. She is a beeeootch. No me gusta. She needs to stop. I hate her. Jon. I sympathize for him. He puts up with her sh_t all the time and stays home with the kids while she travels all over. Its a sad story. I hope they don't divorce. If they do, there's no hope for the rest of us.

In other T.V land new, Keeping Up With The Kardashians! I missed the first 15 minutes of the first episode of KUWTK due to Jon and Kate going until 10:15 -__- But it was about time that Kourtney broke up with Scott. What a douche. Reminds me of someone else I know. And we all know who I am talking about. Anyways, Miami is the new location for DASH. I'm excited to watch Kourtney and Khloe's adventures in Miami. Kim broke into Rashad's Voicemail (Khloe's now ex-boyfriend). That's when they found out he was cheating on Khloe. When just the day before, he sent her a million dollars in diamonds to choose from. Sad. I can relate to Khloe (not the whole breaking up thing and all, and of course not the diamonds), but in the sense that her walls are super built up. Hello twin. I love this show.

This is how I spent my Memorial Day. Sure, I was supposed to volunteer and do good for the world. But there was a Jon and Kate marathon. So thats what I did. And laundry. What a good day. I need to saok up these last few weeks of doing nothing. Soon its back to being cool and in school.

Hi

It's been awhile fo shoo. Well, nothing really great happened. Well, I guess it was. haha.

On Monday, Jessica and I went to see No Doubt on Jimmy Kimmel. Too bad the line was forever long. So we decided to bounce and we walked around H-wood for a bit. Then we went to Millions of Milkshakes and got ourselves some shakes an popcorn =] haha that was about the extent of what we did that night. Super lame. Hahahaha we drove around for about an hour and half before we decided to give up. But it was good talks in the car with dozens of new jokes. 10 minute jokes ahahaha I love hanging out with her. I am guarenteed a good laugh. =]

Tuesday, I dont remember at all. But whatever. O hahahahahha! I hung out with Mich Gualt and we went to el gimnasio during the day. And later that night we went and had Kogi's. Bombies, as always. It was a nice experience especially when I got to the ordering. The guy asked me "Weren't you here last week?" He remembered me! hahahaha I was kinda embarrassed but whatever. I got good food. I had the Kogi Spam sliders, kimchi ques, tofu burrit's, and a tofu tac. Super good. I ate enough for a whole family. I was full forever.

Wednesday, I had sush with JJ at Chomp's. It's my new favorite place. Love it. We had nice talks about her mexican and whatnot. I love her.

Thursday, I stayed in bed until 2 and Tonie didn't seem to thrilled. Sad.

Friday was the best day EVER!!! I got to babysit my boyfriend, Silas! I loved it. He is too cute. Tonie loves him too! I fed him. And he was happy. And then he started to get all crazy because he was tired and I kinda freaked out because I knew he wasn't hungry, so I changed his diaper. That wasn't the problem because he was still crying. And then he would just sit and watch the Backyardigans for a couple of minutes and cry. So then I remebered that Yenna said I need to hold the pacifier in his mouth before he would take it. And BAM! He was asleep. Like a little angel =] I loved every minute of it!

Saturday, I worked all freaking day, but I did get to see my husband, Samuel Safford! I miss him!

Sunday, again I worked all day. I worked with Sarah which is good. She was all sorts of crazy that day. And I loved it. Hahahaha. And then Tonie tone threw the kids a birthday party and so family was over and whatnot. It was nice.

So today, Memorial Day, I am at home doing laundry. Of course. Because that is how exciting mylife is. Jon and Kate plus 8 marathon is on. And I am watching. TEAM JON fo sho! Have a great Memorial Day!

Stop It Brain!

So, I have always been a thinker. I usually over think things. Anything and everything. I will over analyze a situation until there is nothing left. I let my imagination go crazy with different ideas, solutions, problems. Anything and everything, once again. Just for once in my life, I would like my brain to just give it a rest. Some things don't need to be analyzed. Some things are just better left as is and let the situation go where it will go naturally. Apparently, that's really hard for me.

I need to give up having all this control.

P.S. Um, The Office season finale. Can someone pleeeaaassseee tell me what is going on?! Are Jim and Pam going to be parents?! If so, they will have a cute child. No questions asked. And what was Michael thinking?? Why did he let Holly go again?! And last but not least, Meredith. She is just too much. But I love it. Her outfit was redic. They could have made a better episode for the finale. Just sayin'.

He's Just Not That Into You

But he is.

Take Your Clothes Off

Apparently, it's the new in thing. Cassie, then Rhianna.

Well, I guess that's how you become more famous.

I Didn't Know Where This Was Going

Yesterday, I was on iTunes. Why I really don't know. I never get my music from iTunes. But I found myself on iTunes last night. Anyways, I randomly stumbled upon the Children's genre of iTunes. Random, I know. Turns out, I find pretty much the greatest children's album in the World. It's Ziggy Marley's "Family Time" album.

Honestly, it was totally worth the buy. It doesn't feel like I'm listening to kids songs. When I grow up and have kids (we must be dreaming), this is what they will listen to. Eff all those Baby Einstein CD's and those dumb regular baby songs. My baby is going to be legit! All I need to happen before I start popping out a child is 1. well, a significant other obviously. But 2. For Kanye to put out a children's album! Hahahaha. He just needs to tone down pretty much everything. But I bet he could make it work.

I was at the beach today. It was beautiful.

I guess you could say I miss bubba and haydin. It's quiet in the house..all the time. It is nice, i'm not going to lie. But sometimes I just want to hear them say my name or just ramble on about how bubba hit haydin in the head with a toy car. O those kids. Look at what they have done to my life.

On a lighter note, since they have been gone, everything just seems to be falling into place in different parts of my life. And I'm not going to lie, it is really nice. For once, everything seems to be going pretty well in all departments. That hasn't happened in so long.

Happy Cinco de Drinko

Stay safe! Have a drink for me!

-Sara, the Mexican

Ok, Ok

So A LOT has happened since the last post. And when I say a lot, I really mean a lot.

1. The kids are gone! Mhmmm. I no longer am a mommy. I no longer have the responsibility of taking care of 2 young children. And you know what? I AM TOTALLY STOKED! I never knew what I was missing out on! Ok, so I didn't/haven't really done much since they have been gone. But still, I had no need to wake up early. And it was glorious.
2. Today, I got my tax return check in the mail. All I can say is, this money could not have come at a more perfect time. I am so happy with this check. I want to frame it and save it. But I need the money in the bank to pay the bills, so I need to make a trip to the bank. But nonetheless, it made my day.
3. Last night/this morning was nice. Yea, it was nice. It's going somewhere so I think I like that.

Thats about it for now. It's a wonderful day.
