Reporting 101, just printing out what I did so I don't have to do it again... If I don't look busy that means I did it right the First time, DAMNIT!

My aunt's phone is dead, so gotta try to solve that... My own phone is a true believer as it dies and resurrects continuously... Stupid PRTC, LOOOOOOOOOSERS!

TGIF, need plenty of sleep... Thirsty as hell...

At work: Rocky start on Monday. Just came back from my vacations and voila! Problems as usual... I cannot get stressed sooooooo I WONT get stressed. Do you hear me loud and clear, PEOPLE?! Ok... So, things seem to be looking up. Trying to put everything together in shape so there can be no way they can point at my work... Not that they can anyway... :O)

At home: Running, running, running. Yesterday visited the Photographer and he was good! So, he will get the contract. Also visited the Church... Monsegnor was not there but the priest that was there welcomed us. The fun part was that in the middle of everything he turned to me and said: Wait a minute, did you studied at... And then turns out that my class, the Redskins, where the big brothers and sisters of his class, the Spartans... He knew me from high school. Wow, the world does turn, and everything is funny. We talked for a while mentioning the whereabouts of some people... He got excited that El Calvo was still around. I am thinking that perhaps I'll ask the Monsegnor to allow him to marry Groundel & me. He's young, funny and relate to us young scoundrels. :)) Ah, well... If not, whatever.

Today Groundel starts his confirmation courses, and this is weekend is the premarital reunion of 2 days in seclusion... Buahahahahahah.

That's the news for now...

I feel good, tadadadada
I knew I wouldnt, tadadadada
I feel fine, tadadada
Like sugar and spice, tadadadada

Today had some nerve-breaking news, but seems things will be solved. The wedding gown is on hold and I expected it to be on hold by April not so soon, so I had to do some emailing to get the right amount on my credit card... Upset tummy and headache, but did it. Everyone happy. And since they will charge the card on the 23th, I can charge it now for the tiara and necklace... YAY! And make the right deposits when I get back home... YAY!

Bridesmaids will be gathering soon to make some decisions about the gown they will wear...
Men wont be showing off any " batatas" so they are happy (especially old men) LOL
When I get back, also need to go to church and get the marriage course dates, plus Steve confirmation's date.
Got flowers, ivy, twinkles, neat ideas and lots of love. Still, need the patience... PLEASE SEND IT ASAP!!!

These days have been great. Its really nice to know some facts, to have people around me that are crystal clear (what a difference)... and to have people who are not hypocrites... It's been a good stay... Still, I miss my 4 children so much it hurts... And I miss Groundel too... Sniff, sniff...

Gotta go, have some beauty sleep.

THE MOODS OF A WOMAN

An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
A woman is a bundle of contradiction,
She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,
But will tackle a stranger alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose,
She'll win you in rage, enchant you in silk,
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk,
At times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad,
She'll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.

THE MOODS OF A MAN

Hungry.
Horny.
Sleepy.


Things that makes you go hmmmmm....

The flight went smoothly. First connection there was a canadian guy that was lamenting his company was so lame that they sent him on a cheap trip in which he spent 3 days after his luggage... Hmmm... LOL Oh, well... Besides that, did some diorama-designs to keep myself busy, and finally landed on the " Everything is bigger here" state... eeeeehaaaaaa... LOL

Warm welcome. Nice times, nice conversations and nice breezing. Still, miss my kitties alot, and miss old Groundel a lot. I feel sad he cannot share this with me... Hopefully is the last travel that I do without him, as I feel he should have come as well... :( Miss youuuuuu!

Today some Mexican food almost ruined my appetite, but Ah, behold the wonders of Pepto. :P

Watched a serious marathon of TradingSpaces and some Vikings and Medieval history-facts. Cool stuff on History channel...

Nothing wild, just resting. Cold weather, 59 degrees.

La gente comúnmente es incomprensible, ilógica y egoísta, . . . perdónales de todas maneras.

Si eres amable, la gente podrá tildarte de egoísta y con motivos ocultos, sé amable de todas maneras.

Si eres un triunfador, ganarás algunos falsos amigos y algunos verdaderos enemigos, triunfa de todas maneras.

Si eres honesto y sincero, la gente podrá engañarte, . . .sé honesto y sincero de todas maneras.

Lo que has invertido años en construir, alguien lo podrá destruir de la noche a la mañana, . . .construye de todas maneras.

Si encuentras serenidad y alegría, ellos te podrán tener envidia, . . .sé alegre de todas maneras.

El bien que puedas hacer hoy, la gente lo podrá olvidar mañana, . . .haz el bien de todas maneras.

Dale al mundo lo mejor que tengas y eso nunca será suficiente, . . da al mundo lo mejor que tengas de todas maneras.

Como ves, en el análisis final, es algo entre tú y Dios.

"Nunca fue entre tú y ellos de todas maneras."

The encore presentations were: How to loose a guy in 10 days and the foreign movie Ma vie en Rose. The romantic-comedy was better than I expected, although a bit too smoochy for my taste... Ma vie en Rose was a nice refreshing movie that makes us think of how we push kids to fit into what society considers right... It touches the "boy that feels trap in a boys body because in his imagination he is a girl"... I think it is a great movie.

In other news, passed by to say hello to my sis, but she wasn't there so I stayed for about an hour talking with her "granny"... The lady is recovering from an knee operation and she is feeling great! :)

I bought some white lights for the deco of Oct event. And some misc for the little participants. :)

This Sunday LadyMex will celebrate her daughter's b-day somewhere within the puertorrican forests... so... hope we don't get a visit from Chupacabras or aliens or anyone weird... That should be fun... :D

Tomorrow I'll continue my tiara-hunt featuring Aguadilla and San Sebastián...

2004
A new beginning...
A new hope...
A new dawn...

Let's start the year with a famous speech, that will sum up a feeling that all of us around the world should share...

"Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

- Martin Luther King

Yes, that was the civic minute of the day...
