I think I'm just going to use my livejournal account. I've had it longer and I like livjournal more. That's all.

Think what you want

Bored at work.

Listening to Whitey on Last.fm.

How I love Last.fm.

Been MIA cause I haven't been feeling well. I've had a bad headache for the past 3 days. It's finally going away. Yesterday was horrible because they were testing out the fire alarm system at work all day. And I swear to you that it went off like every ten minutes. Also, it wasn't working right and it kept making a really really loud static-like sound. Imagine having your tv on the "snow" channel at full volume. Horrible.

Tomorrow I have to take Hobbes to get neutered. I know I'm going to cry. I cried when I took Frankie to the groomer for the first time. As soon as we walked in the door he started shaking and peed a little. And Frankie is the brave one. Hobbes, on the other hand, is a little scaredy cat. So, I'm thinking he might get upset. But who knows, he might be more fearless than I think. I don't even know what it's going to be like when I have kids. I need help.

My mom's been in Bolivia visiting family for the past 3 weeks and she isn't due back until the 16th of this month. I miss her. She may be crazy at times and overbearing, but she's still great. I've never met anyone that was so giving in my life. If you only knew half of the things she's been through and half of the things she's done for me, my family, friends and people that I like to call assholes. Ooohh, that's a different story though.

One more thing, for Riley. Were you serious about having kids? This year? You? Me? Prego?

Seriously? Okay.

Blah

Just found some pictures.  My dad, brother, mama and me.

This was taken way before I met Thomas.  But this is the Thomas I know.  

I love both their faces in this picture.  She's just like her uncle.

Paola just cracks me up.  She's always so happy.  Yeah, we match!

I was a big girl, in desperate need of a comb.

My grandma Elsa, coolest lady ever.  I miss her.

I found a hair in my burger at Shari's

Every time I go to Shari's I find a hair in my food.  You'd think I'd stop going.  But noooooo. The last time I went to Shari's was about a year ago and I found a hair then too!! Well, there were times that I've gone and ate hairless food.  Then again, I was probably inebriated.  One day I'll learn.

FYI

I'm obsessed with my dogs.  

Hobbes is once again staring out the window.  He does this...a lot.

But he's looking out the window so intently.  So, I get up to see what he's looking at.

Low and behold.....

Frankie doesn't care.  He just wants to take a nap.

I hate Sundays.  It's laundry day and I hate doing laundry. I also clean the house, but since I slept in till noon (yes, noon) I lack the energy.  I usually never sleep in till noon. Normally, sleeping in to me is 9am.  We just stayed up late last night and it threw everything off for me.  Plus the weather doesn't help.  I need sun!! Oh, Oregon how I hate your weather!!!  

Yeah, I'm pretty boring right now.  But just wait and see, I can be super exciting. Especially when I drink! ;)

For your viewing pleasure (and mine) here are Bret and Jemaine.  God, I love these Kiwis.

El baño

I have been wanting to paint our guest bathroom for some time now.  I finally got around to doing.  I think it looks a lot better.  It used to be a sky blue color, it was way too bright.  Now I need to add some art or something decorative to the walls.

On a different note, I found this picture of Hobbes and thought it was hilarious.  I believe it was taken shortly after we adopted him.  I love his hair, it looks like he has a perm.  Haha.  He still has that same look.

My day off

I didn't have to work today so I just hung out with my boys.  This is a typical day with Frankie and Hobbes.

Wrestling for about an hour or two.  Way better than tv.

Hobbes sitting at the window for about 3 hours plotting his next escape.

Hobbes spacing out.

Hobbes....spacing out?  Probably staring at Frankie wondering what the hell he's doing.

Frankie exploring.  We like to go in the backyard to play and explore.

That's about it.  FYI, Frankie's feeling a lot better today.  Praise jebus for google.

Frankie's sick :(

Frankie's been taking steroids for a few days now and he started puking today.  I guess it's a side effect.  What a way to start off the year.  Poor guy.  The roid rage led to puking spells.  Ha.  Actually, he is on steroids for inflammation in his ears since he has a yeast infection in them.  Seems like everyone is sick right now.  My sister, Paola and my hetero-life mate, Riley are both sick.  Since my immune system is in tip-top shape I'll be alright.  I probably just jinxed it right now.  

Anyway, since it is January 1, 2009 I must decide on a resolution or two.  So here goes...

1. Be healthier.  I have a tendency to be lazy and eat out.  It needs to stop now because I don't want to have health problems later in life.  Plus I need to look all sexified for my high school reunion.  That is, if I go.  I probably will....okay I'm getting off topic now.

2. Spend more time with friends and family.  I've neglected them plenty of times last year.  Planning a wedding does that though. 

3. This probably falls in the "Be Healthier" category, but I want to lose like....15 pounds.  I know everybody has this resolution, but dammit, I'm going to do it!

4. Finally, I need to become all around, a better person.  For instance, work on my pessimism, spirituality and self esteem.  I feel as if I could do better than I already am.  I have a tendency to have way high expectations though.  Which can be both good and bad.   We'll see.

So, I'm bizarre in a way that I feel like odd years are better than even ones.  Don't get me wrong, 2008 was great and unforgettable.  I got married, purchased a house, bought a car and adopted the two most amazing dogs, Frankie and Hobbes.  But, 2009 is going to be even more amazing, I can feel it.  I have a wonderful husband and two incredible dogs and a good life.  It can only get better.
