Stolen from Shannon! Since I can't do anything else except sit here then I might as well Blog! 1. People always tell me I look like: Jennifer Love Hewitt.... I get it allll the time. "Do you know who you look like?" yes...yes I have heard. 2. Friends don't let friends: Pick their nose for them! You can pick your friends...you can pick your nose, but you CAN'T pick your friends nose! 3. A sunny day is perfect for: Going to the park! I love picnics! 4. My favorite accessory is: My wedding ring of course! And then Gabe is a great accessory :o) 5. If I could afford it I would: Build my dream house and travel 6. The cure for boredom is: Watching Gabe play when he thinks nobody is paying attention. He is so funny to watch and has such a big imagination. 7. I am currently "in like" with: J Bev....mmm my hair smells so good!

That's right its that time for Gabe to start peeing in the big ol pot! I put it off a little bit longer then I had planned...I just didn't have the motivation and then one day 2 weeks ago I got super inspired and excited about it! I decided that I was going to do it and that was all there was to it. Now when you tell people that you are going to be potty training,they give you the face and the ugggg...I'm sorry. They like to tell you how horrible it is and that its going to take forever. Especially when you tell them you aren't using pull-ups...not even at night! I didn't let it discourage me though...if anything I let it feed my determination. There are so many different books and ways of potty training out there. I had already decided long ago that I was not going to use pull ups and that once I started there was no turning back! Nikki happened to have the perfect book for me. "3 Day Potty Training". So I read the book twice...made my notes and highlight...

I wanted to do a side to side comparison of when I was preg with Gabe and my pregnancy now. I was having some trouble doing it, but thanks to miss Ambrosia I have this nifty little collage!  Thanks Lady! With Gabe I was really good about taking pictures.. Sorry I am missing some clothes :oP This pregnancy I have not done so well taking pictures..but here are the ones that I have taken! I tried to match them up the best I could. Enjoy and I will add the last few weeks as they come...:o)     

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.
