I hate school!

I just want to go to school!!! I have been working and working, and finally only have ONE semester of school left. I was hoping to finish everything up with summer classes, and be finished in August. But--I found out today that I would only be allowed to pay my tuition in 2 payments rather than the usual 4 payments or so.
So, since I have 2 kids, a lawyer to pay to keep those 2 kids, car payment, bills, etc. it looks like school will have to be put on the back burner for now. Hopefully by August I can come up with enough $$ to pay for my last semester!
I hate it--I just want to be done!!!

Good news!

Well, good news-pink eye is cleared up! Bad news...I can't wear my contacts for a few more days. Then I realized I used my last pair of contacts when I had pink eye-so I have to re-order more! So it's going to be like another full week of wearing glasses. I hate my life!!
The last couple days my friend and I have been going to the park at lunch and walking around to get a little exercise. It is amazing! It's been beautiful out and it's so nice to get out of the office for a few minutes!
I had my first real month at work where I was able to make a decent commission-and I am happy to report I bonused about $700--just a tiny bit under! I will collect on my bonus at the end of May. My boss told me next month will be even better because I have my portfolio up and going now! Very exciting!
So--that's all for now I think!

Pink Eye

I woke up this morning-only to find I could not open one eye! It was glued shut with eye goop. I spent all yesterday with water and goop running out of my eye, and thought it was just my contacts. Well...unfortunatley..it's Pink Eye!
I am working from home today so as not to infect all my co-workers! I will be off to the doctor this afternoon to get some medicine. YUCK!

Our weekend get away!

This weekend Juan and I went to California for a quick trip! Saturday his family was having a get together-so that was our incentive to head to California! It was a quick trip, but we had a great time! Juan's cousin who is in charge of buying his suit for our wedding took Juan to get sized for his suit and pick out a vest and tie to match. It was very exciting! We also got to spend some time shopping in downtown LA at the flea markets (no, not the cool ones-these are the ghetto ones) But we had a great time regardless, and enjoyed spending some time together! Last Saturday night we went to my sister's in Vegas, and got to spend all day Sunday with her little family. Her little family is darling, and my sister amazes me in so many ways.
We flew home yesterday evening, and were back to real life today! It's nice to get away for quick trips now and then, but coming home is always amazing!

I'm pretty proud of my brother!

My brother is starting his own clothing line!! Go to his website!
www.bigjindvrs.com
He is designing shirts and tank tops for now, and in the future he will add more items to the line! I am really proud of him! We had kind of a rough childhood, and my brother has made really great things happen for himself. He's taught me alot about perservering, standing up for myself, and making things I want happen!
So...you should go log on to his website and buy some stuff!

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Nana got a WII!

My Moms birthday is today, but we celebrated yesterday! Nana's one birthday wish was to get a WII! SO...my sisters and brother sent some money, and it was my job to locate the WII! THis was no small task I might add!
After many many calls to the local Walmarts I still came up empty handed. I finally found a brand new WII on KSL.COM! So I ended up buying the WII from some punk teenage that buys 28 at a time, and sells them for a tiny bit more than he buys them for and makes a profit.
My Mom came down yesterday, and she opened her present! She was very very surprised, and extremely happy!! She didn't think she would get her birthday wish, but alas, her children saved the day!
After her present opening, we went and had pedicures. It was great! We just chatted, and caught up, and had so much fun. Afterwards, we went to my mother in laws apartment where a fiesta was in the works for my sister in laws birthday. The fiesta included a traditional Mexican soup, Tres Leche Cake, and of course, a pinata! My Mom was a great sport and stayed for most of the excitement!
I love that my mom lives close enough that we can have Saturday excurisions-birthdays or not! I love my Mom more than anything, and am truly blessed to have an amazing woman in my life like her!
