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...

Been a heck of a crazy day... Im beat!

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....

Made ME cry. Ewan rules! Take me to the Dark side!... Ok... Not the dark side, but ... whatever. You get the point. Gotta sleep, kiddies. Byebye!

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.

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...

BTW XENA SEASONS 2 & 3 are on DVD, so if anyone wants to do the honors, I humbly will accept...
Here I am... Payday and cannot go get the check... Stranded in my house with no soul taking pity on my self... LOL Right... It could be worst I guess... Gotta go to the hospital this afternoon, get a nice excuse before I die. Hope to get better by the 1st, hope that Coriolis can come over here so he can be Driving Miss V to some places to take care of some loose ends before I depart for 2 weeks... Buahahahahah... Going to Texas, eeeehhhaahhhhh from the 9th to the 19th, so maybe I'll blog, maybe I wont...

Coriolis had a sickness, then Lucinda had sickness, then Einstein and Barbie... Then Groundel, then about everyone at work, and finally me. How nice...

Saw Moulin Rouge for the 6th time...

Saw Finding Nemo. Awesome movie! I didnt expect such a good film!

Revisited Dracula and Sleepy Hollow...

Bored as hell...

Looking for bargains on weddingstuff... Found a contact for Circulo de Recreo, lets hope that comes out right. Looking for a priest to do the confirmation thinguie for Groundel before September (thats a project in itself!)... Everything else seems smooth...

Insane as usual...

Trilogy called 3 days ago, and got startled at the fact I did not recognized his voice... Sorry, but REALLY trying to move on here! Besides, he said we are no longer friends, so why he keeps his every-4-months calls? Out of the 12 years waiting circle, pal!

Thats about all the emotion and drama I can handle. Yipeeee! The pills really work!!!

And AVO is still being around, a bit down but hey, he is after all the empathic agent of entropy in our universe, aint he? ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Dissapointment, I feel...
Dissapointment tears my heart apart and makes me scream from the top of my lungs: HIPOCRITES! So many say that like a mother there is none... Damn right. My mother calls me insane, crazy beyond recognition, a social disturbance. And that she will have nothing to do with my stupid ideas. APPLAUSE FOR THE HIPOCRECY OF SAYING TO ALL HER FRIENDS HOW MUCH SHE HAS DONE FOR HER TWO DAUGHTERS. She has nerves of steel, doesn't she?

An then, the stage turns all lights towards my real mother, the one that raised me... The one that expresses feelings once every lunar eclipse... One thing is very straight: I am paying for my wedding. It is my business, it will be as I want it to be. But even if I ask for an opinion, the one that raised me and knows me so well just says she can say nothing for she cannot compromise... Money. Always money. A nice word would ie her into giving me money... Thats the big translation... So if she says nothing, and just witness my insanity, what that makes her? A partner in crime with the attitude of trying to step all over me... I am so many things, but a loser. I have so many skills, and I have no addictions, and I am hard-working... Yet, what's the reward? A good feeling? Not words, no words from the people that matters to you... And that simply sucks.

I am scheming my wedding without my family's aid. My mother wont have anything to do with it because she seems to be ashamed of my creativity. My other mom won't take part because she would then "have" to spend money on me. I won the first prize for the greatest and most loved daughter, didn't I?

My friends are my family, the ones I chose right, the ones that know who I am and acept it with a smile in their faces. It just hurts... I now my friends love me. I would just like to hear just once that my blood family is proud of me.

Monday, Monday...
Feels like a slumber...
Humming under
Crawling thunder...

I am tired, tired, tired, tired... Been driving looking for the right spot... On Saturday spent 6 hours in the laundry. Yup, had nothing to wear so finally gave in to the darkside... Sunday was "looking for castles" day... Tiresome... Nothing I expected... Ugly places, deserted places... Seems that my last hope is San Germán. There's one perfect antique-victorian place I may add to the "Me Like" list. Still browsing...

Groundel has been quiet and easygoing. He bought 4 Starwars figures this weekend and was pretty content with it.

Lucinda went to a wedding yesterday, and luckily found jackpot.

LadyMex is stressed and misleaded as usual. Her ex will be here next week, with his current wife, and so some of us expect long hours of torture-talk.

Diego almost got splatted by my Ravi. And last night literally stepped on crystal...

AVO is kinda thundering and having a good angry time... I guess? ;)

Coriolis is excited about purple, it goes with his complexion...

And me... Just keeping up with Loving a plan that comes together. Bored, sort of... Tired... Frustrated... But happy. This pills reaaaaally work! :P

Well, last night went to see the priest for the first time. The monseñor was not at all as I expected. He said nothing about our crazy hair, and although we got a lecture on why we don't go to church, he was easygoing. The date is set for Saturday October 23, at 2:00pm. I love it when a plan comes together. :)

I contacted a company that creates historical-period clothing. So, everyone on the wedding party will be with ren-french-victorian flair. For the reception the plan is a Masquerade, since Halloween is around the corner... nothing traditional. :)

In other news, seems I got a virus from around the block, got the runnies and nausea... Came to work but feel a bit dizzy and with a humongous headache... Ah, whatever... Nothing is perfect...

Looking for a castle, looking for a priest, looking for the right place , date and things. Been very busy with Barbie's birthday last Sunday. Made a small mural and two posters of Strawberry Shortcake. The whole thing was so cool! I expected to be bored, but I actually had lots of fun playing around, especially inside Strawberry Shortcake's house... Yipeeee! :P Everyone looked happy (at least the kids anyway). :D Lady mex was with Nico and Elisa. Lucinda's boy was upset because he couldn't open the presents, but then he engaged on playing and forgot... for a while... The cake was beautifully red and pink, many strawberies alluring the taste. Yummy! and had a blast talking... ok, more like listening, to Lucinda's father and his very engaging topics... from nature to UFO's. Cool!

This week, back to writing dates and getting the stuff I want for next year. This week must visit places and talk to churches... See who accepts the red-headed maniac... That's going to be tough, I dont want to dye my hair black... We'll see what happens...

At work, they are finally processing my permanency. Maybe it will be here by January. Seems next year will have many events under its belt! I should be travelling on January to Texas, to stay for 2 weeks with my father. And my car will be paid-off by November. Yes, 2004 should be a good year indeed, very unforgettable.

In the meanwhile, discovering Puerto Rico...
