Happy 4th of July everyone! I had a pretty good holiday; we went to visit my great aunt and had some good food. The babies were around and it was nice to spend some time with them. Plus the potatoes were excellent, haha. It wasn't terribly humid but it was pretty hot. Not that we needed to worry 'cause dad barbecued yesterday, even if the weather ( Read more... )

Okay, so it looks like we're not going to Arizona. LAD completely pulled out of the EJC in protest of that new immigration law, so my mom's ticket and the resort isn't paid for by them anymore. My mom decided she doesn't wanna go to Phoenix and try to make it for two weeks 'cause we'd have to find new lodging and she'd have to reimburse LAD for her ( Read more... )

So work the other day was awesome! I actually got a Gap card, which was super cool. Even Ricardo had to praise me. It felt really good to actually get one for once. I think Ricardo's gonna be happier with my performance too...at least I hope so. I've been selling pretty well but that Gap card thing wasn't working out for me, haha. But I'm back on ( Read more... )

So I've officially got a flight for Phoenix, AZ on May 11th! I'm hoping the weather's good 'cause I'm really looking forward to this trip. I really want to get a new suitcase but my sister has one that wasn't big enough for all her stuff so I might end up using that. It's not the cutest suitcase ever, but it's functional and I can make it work ( Read more... )

It looks like I'm going to Arizona! My mom's going to a conference in Arizona in May and I think I'm going with her. It should be awesome, I'm looking forward to the warmer weather. It'll be springy here, but it should be a good 85° or so in Phoenix. I've never been on a plane and it might be a little scary, but I'm excited at the same time. I ( Read more... )

♥♥♥HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!♥♥♥It's my mom's birthday today! I picked out a black teardrop necklace and matching stud earrings for her. She loved them! We also bought her a box of chocolates and daddy got her a balloon. It was a cute little display, and I think daddy made her some food also ( Read more... )

So, my mom decided to talk to me about her family matter situation. She wants to get "legal separation" from my dad -- basically be independent financially. Not only that, but she said their marriage isn't what it once was. I completely understand the financial part and honestly since I'm so old now it's not a big deal, but the whole "wasn't what ( Read more... )

Father's Day weekend went well! We've had our car stolen and people knocking on our door in the past, so it was good to have an crime-free weekend. We ate food at my grandparents' house, which was awesome; we had ribs and baked beans and corn and potato salad and more. Overall, it was a great weekend. I'm gonna cut this one really short -- MORE ( Read more... )

Wouldn't ya know I have a paper to write, a group project to work on, and a Man on the Street interview to get ready for. I can't wait 'til Wednesday evening, when all this craziness is over and I can just go to the basketball game and get hype. I wanna go with Lauren on my floor, I'm gonna see if I can bum rush her to go at 7pm or so. I'm still ( Read more... )

As I mentioned earlier, my sis now officially has her Level Two Graduated Driver's License. She can drive the car by herself except between 12-5am, when my parents wouldn't want her out driving anyway. Of course she doesn't have the card yet; the Secretary of State's office has to send her the card. I offer her my congratulations; I'm actually ( Read more... )
