I decided to take a sabbatical from Facebook 6 weeks ago. I had been wanting to get rid of it for awhile but kept coming up with excuses to keep it....Finally I needed something to give up for Lent...I'm not Catholic but Jorge is so every year I give something up for 40 days. Its not always easy but I like the challenge. So I decided it was a great excuse to get rid of Facebook. I figured if nothing else it would be a nice break. After the 40 days I could open it back up or I could keep it closed. I LOVE not having facebook, I feel like I get so much more done around the house... I spend more quality time with Gabe... and when Jorge is home I feel like a better wife. Of course I have missed it to though. I miss seeing what everyone is up to, seeing pictures of new babies that have been born. I am always hearing my friends say..."WELL, if you were on FB you would know that...". Its freeing and I am so conflicted on whether or not to re-open it... I guess I could open it an...

This is a challenge I would love to take on. The problem is that I don't think that I could do it in a healthy way being pregnant. Not that people, even pregnant people, in poverty have a choice... But maybe some of you would like to take on the challenge. May 16th people all over the world will eat under $1.50 a day, that means even whatever is in your house can only add up to $1.50 for the entire day!! I'm thinking Ramen and water...? They will do this for 5 days! This is to help give people a perspective of what it is like to live in serious poverty. The economy is not so good over here right now...but I am sure everyone is still eating just fine... pizza for dinner...eggs and bacon for breakfast? We really can't complain right? In the meantime if you join this cause you will also be raising money, you can find out more about that on the website.  Maybe right now you will just want to do the challenge of eating for under $1.50 and after you see how horrible it reall...

Hello my friends! This is just a...I'm bored blog..so don't expect anything snazzy... I know I know... I am the QUEEN of snazzy.... is that how you spell it? Snazzy? Well my hubby is gone again... that leads me to my title... Jorge was gone for a whole month and I had tons of toilet paper. He was home for 2 weeks and MAGICALLY the TP all disappeared! He is one nasty Mexican... I need to buy stock in TP just because of him! He left this morning back to Texas and yesterday all day I kept telling him.."I can't believe you came home just to use up all of the TP and then leave". We did get a few things done while he was home..he never really had a day off in the 2 weeks he was home...so I felt bad making him do anything when he would get off work. Yesterday he had the day off so I put him to work! I said things HAVE to get done before this baby comes! I am finally nesting and it came at me at a overwhelming quickness. 10 weeks really is not that far away!! So now I ...

Miss Shannon tagged me in this one! Thanks lady! Here is how it works: All I have to do is just answer the "About Me" questions & then pass it on to a few other RAD bloggers! So here goes it... A list of favorites! Food: Plain and simple I LOVE pizza! LOVE! Color: My fav. color is PINK! Always has been... but the last couple of years I have been really into greys, teals,and turquoises. Animal: I love monkeys...and dolphins..and turtles and frogs. Dessert: I just love all things SUGAR! Artist: I don't really have one... Pair of Shoes: flip flops ALL DAY LONG! I agree Shannon! Outfit: I love dresses and skirts, any reason I have to wear either of those I take advantage of. But I also love PJ's! Skinny Jeans: I LOVE skinny jeans... My hips and thighs are probably too big for them but I sport them anyway. Brand: I love Hurley, especially for Gabe. I like Vigoss jeans... and I love Target tank tops... I could..and do wear them all day every...

This morning I had to go do the 3-hour Glucose test. For those of you that haven't had kids or don't know about it, its when you fail the one hour glucose test and have to go take a 3 hour one where they take your blood 4 times. Its no fun at all. I had to do it with Gabe also, but I checked out just fine. So I went into it prepared to be totally bored. It turned out to be the complete opposite. I'm not sure if I just have a friendly face, or if my big pregnant belly makes people want to tell me their whole life stories. Pretty much the full almost 4 hours I was there, someone was talking to me and telling these crazy stories. I never asked to be told such personal things, and once one girl would come and tell me her story then she would leave and before I knew it there was another one. I have to share some of their stories. The first 2 ladies I met were there doing the one hour glucose. The one girl has 2 kids already, or had I should say. Her first baby died from SIDS a...

{one} what is one food that, as an adult you love, but as a child you said you’d never touch? Probaby ANY Veggies... I HATED veggies up until fairly recently. Now I LOVE THEM! two} did you go to college? if yes, what was your major? Yes I went to college got my degree in Criminal Justice... but I started with architecture, then did business and finally settled on criminal justice and loved it! {three} what’s the most wild animal you’ve seen in real life (not counting the zoo)? I think Javalinas are pretty freaky or badgers! {four} have you ever been to a fortune teller? Nope I haven't. I remember my uncle once told me that they were evil and that by going to one you are allowing the devil in. So I have always been a little bit freaked out. Plus I don't want to know the future. {five} can you juggle? Not anymore... I could in elementry school. I could juggle AND double dutch at the same time..impressive huh.. {six} hardwood floors or carpet? Hmmm this is a har...

Wow! Tomorrow is April 1st! I can't believe it! This month went by really fast...but it went by slow at the same time. Jorge will be home tomorrow!! After being gone 32 days... I wasn't counting or anything. Thankfully I had great friends to keep me busy and distracted. I have kind of gotten used to him being gone that it might be a little weird having him back... but I missed him like crazy and I want him home more then anything! I love everything that he does for us, he is such a hard worker, an amazing daddy and a incredible husband! I couldn't ask for better! Today I went to the Doctor. I am officially on 2 week appointments... talk about time flying! June is only 2 months away!! WOWZA! I have 12 weeks left, which I know is going to fly by WAY too fast! I have just been trying to enjoy my alone time with Gabe and the ease of being to come and go as I please with just him. I will probably never leave my house when I have 2! You will all be pleased to know that my badunk...
