Wednesday woes

hello lovelies,
well today i just wanted to post about a few munchkins who are pretty near and dear to my heart! I love them very much, and miss them!! Today some sad things took place to affect the life of one of my loves, and I just pray that God will work through this event in her life, and make her a better person for this. She's a strong little one, and I just hope that she will be ok. That being said, I just wanted to do a post on these little ones whom I have watched grow up, and whom I feel like are a part of my family. I feel like I have about 15 other brothers and sisters, and I care whole heartedly about them, and it hurts me to see them hurt. So Im just asking for some strength to not be upset about a decision that confuses me, and hurts some one I love who does not deserve this, and is not even old enough to understand the rejection. I hope that all of you are having a good week.

Thanksgiving Break!

Hello darlings,

Well I just got back from Thanksgiving break and it was quite lovely. My brother came home from college, so we got to hang out and be goofy. After sitting in four hours of traffic for a trip that is usually and hour and a half, I was finally home. The next day I got to sleep in, which I think is what the majority of college students do when they go home for the holidays, then I went to Disneyland with one of my best friends, Citlalli. We celebrated Thanksgiving at my Grandparents house, where I helped with the deviled eggs, and our younger cousins wrote down their christmas lists for our gift exchange. The turkey was delicious, we were missing a few family members, but we get to see them on Christmas eve, so I guess that makes up for it. After dinner we went through the black friday ads to plan our big morning. On Black friday we woke up at 3:45 and were at khols by 4:15, we put my stepdad in line, and we did strategic shopping, then we hit up the gas station, and then Target, we once again placed my step dad in line, and split up to get all our gifts. We came back to the line, dumped our stuff and headed for the in store starbucks to re-fuel, then when we checked out there was an "episode" but it just added excitment to our morning. We then headed to Wal mart, and were out of there by 7, and then it was time to unwind at Barnes and noble. I took an idea from Real Simple magazine, where I got almost everyone on my list books. Then it was time to head home, I started wrapping, and then needed to go to the craft store to get jars for my cocoa mixes. Then I met up with my mom at Bath and Body works to get pretty scented soaps for the holiday season. Then it was time for In'N'Out. When we got home we broke out the Christmas decorations, and turned on the Christmas music. The boys hung the icicles on the house, while mom and I set up the village, and decorated the shelves. Can't wait to go home next weekend, and finish decorating. That night I had dinner with my beautiful friend Annalise, Nana for short. We were out for almost 5hours, just catching up on life, we hadn't seen each other since May, so it was long overdue. Then after I headed to the bowling alley to hang out with my brother, and some friends from high school whom I love very much, Citlalli, Sheraan, Melissa, Valerie, Ariston. and a few significant others. As well I finally got to congratulate Asher on his engagement, so excited!! Then it was off to Sheraan's house for a zombie movie. Then Saturday was spent with my godson, Coby. I can't believe how big he is getting, I love him sooo much! Then we went to the mall, and got to take pictures with santa. After that it was coffee with my best friend in the whole world, Alyssa, and her boyfriend. I miss her, and do not get to see her as often as I would like. Overall a very nice holiday! It ended way too soon. Off to start another week. Hope all of your Thanksgivings were fabulous!

Happy Holidays!

Update please!

Hello myloves,

Oh my goodness, it has been quite crazy since last weekend. I haven't been keeping you up to date with everything but these past couple of weeks, my car has been giving me trouble, and I have been switching between my car, and my Grandma's. So this past Thursday my car completely gave out, and I was actually towed from Santa Barbara to Azusa. It was a very long drive, but neither one of us talked to one another. I, of course, being an English major always have a book in my purse, and so I read the whole way home. I got to be home for the weekend, and I went out to dinner with my family, and then I got to hang out with Citlalli and my little brother and I loved it. I recycled a costume, that I have worn twice already, but it was all I had. It was very nice to be home, but now I am back to the grinding stone, and its going to be a rough couple of weeks til Thanksgiving since I have so much homework due in between, that's not so exciting. But here are a few pictures from this weekend.

oh what a week!!

Hello Dears,
Well this weekend was fantastic. I had soo much fun. My brother and I had a great time. Well, let me start at the beginning, on my drive up there I was listening to a book on tape and that book was one of the greatest romances that I think that I have ever "read." It is by Jude Deveraux and it is called Lavendar Morning. I highly recommend it to every woman out there. I am sending it to my mom to listen to it. I was so entranced by it that that night when I was going to sleep I listened to the last hour of it because I couldn't wait til I was on the road again to finish it. Anyways, that was a random aside. When I got to my brother's apartment, I got cleaned up and when we jumoed on the bus and went to get crepes. They were delicious. It was so cool being on our own. We felt like we were finally really adults. We were alone, able to make our own decisions. It was very liberating, and a little scary to realize how grown up we are. While eating our crepes we talked about our family and all that our younger cousins have to look forward to, it was very sweet. The next day we went to lunch with our step brother Ryan, and his wife, Shannon, it was really great to see them, it always is. Then after that we dropped off my car, and as we were getting out we say the blue angels fly over for fleet week, and that was pretty awesome. Then we took the bus to the golden gate bridge, and we walked the WHOLE thing. It was very cold but also breathtaking and amazing. It was so much fun!! Then we took the wrong bus, but eventually figured it out,and we went and had tea at Crown and Crumpet. Which I believe i have posted about before back in July. It was a bit girlie for my brother, but I absolutely loved it! Then we walked down to fisherman's wharf and had clam chowder at the same restaurant where we all had dinner when we road tripped to drop Brenn off for college, and we had the same waiter, and as we were leaving, he let us know he remembered us, because he said "see you next month around the same time, since you seem to make monthly visits" I thought it was cool, Brennan didn't find it as intriguing. Then we took the bus, and ironically where we got off to change buses was sitting our waiter from the tea place, so we talked to him for a little while, I should have checked to see if it was a full moon with all the funny little meetings taking place. We then went back to Brenns apartment. The next day we did some shopping, bought Brenn an amazing peacoat from express, which as he would say makes him look "sexy" haha, well it is very nice, then I went to his basketball game, where he won. That was the end of my trip. The next morning I dropped him off at school and then headed for SLO, to see my best friend for her birthday. I hope to share my time with her in a later post. Hope you all are having a lovely week!
