Keeping track of my life

A little background info on me…any why I have this blog. This blog is here mostly for me, it’s my little journal. I’ve always wanted to keep a record of things that I’ve done and be able to have something to look back on that bring back memories of the things I have lived. To see the changes that life has brought me, both mentally and, well, physically, as I know I won’t be young forever. Recently I started to reflect on some changes I have experienced. I’m starting to understand my parents in a different way. Years back I was ALWAYS right. Although I still am, most of the time haha, but I do see that they are right sometimes too. I’ve moved out and the role my parents play is different but its closer. When I use to live with them we just kind of saw each other walk in and out all day. Now I call them and we chat every few days. Anyhow I just wanted to keep track of life I guess… and I hope this blog helps me.

Where did my weekend go!?!?!

So last week was a bad one... and the weekend was worse. Although Friday was nice. I had dinner at my brother-in-laws house. We brought over dessert… chocolate drum sticks yum!! Mary made on amazing lasagna, it looked like an amazing pie!! I wish I knew how to make it… I’ll have to try out a recipe.

Saturday we were to go to a Coleadero Rodeo ( Mexican event where I guess you could call it cow tipping...men ride on horses after cows, reach over, grab the cows tail and attempt to tip it over.) Dri ended up going, I stayed and ran errands.

That afternoon I got ready to go to a 15nera, cotillion with my parents Dri was to join us early on but he didn’t show up till 9  He was suppose to be there at 5…I’m still mad. That was the beginning of my bad weekend.

On our way home the car a 2004 Chevy Cavalier started blowing out warm air, the a/c was not working. Then the lights started to dim and the battery light came on along with the air bag light the car stopped and wouldn’t turn back on. It was 11pm and we were stuck. Luckily my parents weren’t far away and drove us home.
The next day instead of having a nice Sunday summer day we went to the Junk yard in search for on alternator part. We called Victory Auto records to see if they had it in stock. They said they did but after on 1hour of searching for the car to pull out the piece it was evident the inventory was wrong. What a horrible Sunday!

Thinks can change so fast.... Dri's out of a job!!

So 2 days ago Dri calls me whiles he is suppose to be at work.... he tells me he just got let go!!! Uggg I know he feels horrible, but I'm actually excited to have him home doing everything so that when I get home I don’t have to do a thing!! haha... I no it will be hard and we have to be on a much stricter budget but we should be fine. He filled for benefit and we are hoping he gets some side jobs doing photography!! This is his moment to shine and really either make it or break it in his photography pursue. We have a lot of little event coming up so hopefully they keep coming so we can afford to have him home permanently working on his own photography….. I’ll just add him on to my insurance and we are all good… god willing.

AHAHAHAH!!! MY FIRST BLOG POST!!

Ok... I think I'm finally up and running!! I don't even know where to start or what to type!! I just hope this post works!!  Ugg I can already tell that texting has influenced my spelling!!  Food Fact from watching TV... a burger should be thinner in the middle so it can cook more evenly because the edges cook faster.
I bet this is boring... I just don't want to give you a full resume and every detail of my life this 1st post... that just sees like it should come with time from my posts.
On another note.  Today was a good day!! I actually ran out of time at work!! Time flew by for a change.  Ran home to my chiro appt.  at 5:30.  My back feels better already.. not!!! Its sore from all the alignments.  I'm still going 3 times per week until my back gets used to getting aligned.  On my way to the appt I called my mommy, havent spoken to her in a while.  I love living on my own but I do miss my parents.  My drive home is to reconnect, except for today we kind of disconnected, litterly.  She got me so upset! Which never ever happens with her.  I tell her whats bothering me and its like shes not listening she just wants things to get fixed and for everything to be ok regardless of what happened..."you should always forgive and not have any drama with anyone" 
Umm I totally get that mom but come on let me just vent!!!  I didn't call you to have you lecture me just listen to me!!  As I'm saying all this my battery dies of course and I leave my mom hanging swearing I'm mad at her.  I can never be mad at my mom.  She's too nice..... 2 hrs later she calls me back asking why I hung up on her... poor mommy.
I watched I think its called "The New Age of WAL*MART" on cnbc.  I didn't get to watch the whole documentary but I'm intrigued.  It talked about Walmarts ups and downs.  Yes they bring lots of jobs but they pay so little most employees can't even afford insurance.  They also talked about the "sweat shops" in China.  Apparently Walmart is very much aware that they are not up to many peoples ethical standards and are slowly making big changes.  This is a very informative documentary because you hear both sides of the story Walmart is not just being attacked.  It is dealing and has something to say about all the issues that are brought to its attention.  I'm not saying that they are doing enough or that I'm on Walmarts side on anything its just refreshing to have both views and to hear both sides of the issues.

Well here's to my first post.... Hurrah!
