A quickie...

I LOVE MY NEW TONY LAMAS COWBOY BOOTS.
I will post a picture later.... just got them yesterday... they hurt like a mother, but damn, they look awesome!

Lots about nothing.

So, here I am again. A bit exhausted from the last couple of weeks. I have been extremely busy at work and at home. I can hardly believe that it is almost April now. Where did the time go? I just got a card from my mortgage company congratulating me for the one year anniversary from closing on my home. WOW! One year already??? I have been in Omaha for almost 3 years! It's difficult to fathom that I've survived 5 years in the Midwest. It ain't all that bad...

So anyways... I won 3 bucks on the powerball last night :-) I never win anything. By the way, I spent five dollars on tickets...

My sister Ericka is coming on Saturday night from Costa Rica. I can't wait! She is not only my sister, but she is a great friend as well. It will be a fun visit. Even though it is supposed to snow quite a bit. Of course, I take a few days off from work and it has to snow. Stupid Murphy's laws.

I am going on a seminar to Kansas City in a couple of weeks and going to Texas the week following that. I am truly freaking out because this is the first time that I will be leaving the dogs in a k-e-n-n-e-l (we'll call it puppy camp). I am having a hard time thinking about them not being with me. I think they will be just fine, it's more me that I am concerned. I have a hard time trusting people with my boys. They are dachshunds and they are very prone to back injuries and I would hate to see something happen to them while I am gone. My other option is to have the dog walker come and spend overnights with the guys at my house, but that would be 5 times more expensive than the doggy camp. Now I feel how parents feel the first day that they leave their kids alone. Pretty pathetic, I know.

Moving on... Summer is coming up and I am still on my endeavor of purchasing a kayak... I haveen doing all kinds of research and I am pretty excited. I've studied used ones and new ones at the sporting goods stores and I am just amazed in all the different kinds. I think this will be a great hobby and I just can't wait to get back on a kayak again. And to have my own! I will post a picture as soon as I get one.

In addition, I am contemplating the idea of getting rid of cable television in the house. I waste a lot of time watching television while I could be educating myself a little bit more or when I could be actually doing housework. Or writing in here. I just don't know how many TV shows I will be able to take. It will be very hard to give it up, but I grew up without it and I think I should be just fine. We'll see if I actually do that or end up getting TiVo. There is a fine line on a decision betweem those two.

OK, that's a synopsis of what is going on my head right now... I better get back to work.

Sudor de trasnoches

El cansancio sombrío de la noche que se rinde ante el día ha sido testigo lo que resta dentro de mi. El abatido sentimiento con sabor a soledad y olor a café añejo aun me mantiene con esos ojos ya rojos de tanto llorar. "Mañana será mejor, que será, que será..." He adelantado las agujas del reloj, tratando de evadir la tristeza que ha madurado en mi piel. Sudo en mi cama pensando en el valor absoluto que tiene la realidad. El teléfono suena sin ser oído, una y mil veces... y decido olvidarlo todo y decido volver a empezar.

BOSTON!!!

Okay... so I just booked my flight to Boston... I am so f$%^ing excited!!! I am not going for another 3 months or so, but just the fact to know that I will be going on a mini vacation just sounds pretty damn good right now. And what makes it better is that I will be around good friends of mine. SeSe will be coming in from Minot, ND. Steph will be flying in from England. Wil is coming from Hawaii. Mani is coming from NY. It will be such a great time just to hang out and have a cocktail with good ol' friends. We have been doing a yearly trip for the last 3 years or so, but last year I missed it because I had just purchased the house and it was just not the right financial moment to go on a vacation. But as promised, this year I am in again!!! I can't wait to hug my best friends and talk, act stupid and make fun of people and ourselves. Sounds tacky and cheesy... but that's what we do together and I can guarantee that we will be laughing a lot. We always do. Boston sounds great... even if we met in a farm in Iowa we'd have a good time.
I can't wait...

Cardiovascularity

There it is... that stupid muscle that holds it all together. Damn organ. How such a bloody thing like that can be responsible for love and all those feelings that come with it? I don't understand it, just like I don't understand many things.

Someone will love me and reciprocate me and it will pour blood into all places...

Someone breaks my heart and that will still keep pumping blood. In and out of all 4 chambers. Make me suffer, make me hate, make me love, make me cry. What are you good for? Who needs you if I can't be with "the one"?
