i have been so tired this week and i'm sure it's due to lack of sleep. i usually have to be in bed by 10pm no matter what but a couple days last week i went to sleep around 11pm because i was out gallivanting (as hubby calls it) playing "dr. phil". so i must have at least 8 hours of sleep otherwise i'm a zombie the next day. during the week i get up at 6am-ish and leave work at 4pm. so thank gawd for naps because i needed them plus this humid heat has not been helping me...zzzz.
last week, as i mentioned before, we celebrated my brother frank's 33rd birthday. we had a nice little crowd going and had a great time. our friend cindy, bob, my bff paulie, sis, brudder raymond, hubby, mom and i joined in on the fun. we had dinner at our local thai place (poor peeps that had to hear us LOL and talk soo LOUDLY). we had some extra time before the flick so we headed to my house for some cake and drinks before heading back out to watch pineapple express. ZOMG the movie is sooo darn funny, you must watch it! check out the visuals...
i am soo ready for this weekend...last night while we celebrated yet another bday (sis bday..more later) we got some great news. our cousin who's just like our sister finally found out she's going to have a girl. i am so excited for them. she's been having one ultrasound after another and the baby kept covering her privates...lol. i can't wait to meet my little niece...this will be our first. LOL!
- today is my brother frank's 33rd birthday...happy birthday bro! we're getting together with some friends for thai food and then we're going to watch pineapple express. i can't wait. i love to celebrate birthdays especially when they are other peeps'.
- tomorrow i am off, woo hoo! we're having a mini family reunion out of town. i am really excited and cannot wait to see my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.
- i've been on an interpol kick and cannot stop listening to them.
- i've been thinking of getting a laser procedure done for my embarrasing clammy hands. i think i have a nervous tick..ugh. need to do more research. what say you?
- the other day i went furniture shopping with my bff. we had a great time checking out some really nice and some really awful looking furniture. i'm looking for a chocolate leather sofa chair and ottomon..no luck. he ended up getting a tv stand for his plasma. it's very unique and very him...60's style. i cannot wait to share the pic with you guys...i can't even explain it right now. we had dinner at a little greek place in larchmont. i had chicken with 3 different types of cheese, roasted bell pepper and onions wrapped in a filo dough with a side of veggies and lemony potaoes. delish!!!
- i met an old friend for coffee the other night. we hadn't seen each other for over a year and a half. we talked for a longgg time, said some "i'm sorry's", had some good belly laughs, played catch up and cannot wait to get together again. *sigh*
- life is good.
so my brothers and their co-workers/friends have been going crazy about the dark knight movie that's coming out tomorrow. they are the biggest batman fans and for the past year have done some crazy stuff in relations with the release of the movie.
here they are last year at comic con...i believe they were doing another scavenger hunt.
they are such nerds (lol) and are sooo into it that they were lucky enough to have a cake delivered to their office with a another clue inside of it. i'm telling you, they are definitely into it. i know there's more but i can't remember...
so what did they do last night? they waited in line @ virgin records to get a signature of the peeps that composed the music for the movie and get some snapshots. tonight they are going to watch the movie at 12 midnight. i went last time (batman begins) and it was too hard for me to work the next day so i decided not to do it again. well, guess what? i have tomorrow off but no tickets are available.
i'm going to watch it saturday night with my bros....that's OK i can wait.
What was the best thing about your weekend?
jeez, everything! but for the most part i think it has to be that hubby is back from havasu. he went to visit his bro.
but instead of writing it down, let me show you pics instead...
yesterday i spent most of the day with paulie. we had bfast at pie and burger in pasadena and then off to the rose bowl flea market and omg was it hot and muggy...disgusting! he found some more furniture for his apartment so it was worth it. after vegging a little bit we bbq. paulie and adolfo came over and hung out a bit.
welcome back hon!
now that i've got your attention, LOL!
i had a great time with my buddies on friday night. the races were interesting
even though we had no idea how to bet. we only got to see 2 races because we got there late (next time i'm sure we will get there bright and early)...i love seeing the horses run...soo beautiful!the bands were awesome, i enjoyed when in rome a lot more than flock of seagulls. they were sord of a buzz kill because they were playing some really slow songs and peeps were starting to leave or walk away from boredom. but once their good songs were played everyone got into it.
(see 2 videos below)on saturday we went to see sex in the city, hubby didn't want to go with me and my brother frank but he raised the white flag and changed his mind. we had dinner at a cuban restaurant where they have the best mojitos.
while i went to the ladies room frank and hubby stood in line. once i walked over to them i realized it was all women (duh!). i look up and frank says "hey mayra we're the only guys!" i could not stop LOL. i wished i would have taken a pic but i was laughing too hard. later we counted about 10 guys in the theater, some older men, some gay and the rest were fans i guess? i'm glad hubby was a good sport.
i enjoyed the movie because i'm a big fan. i think this could have been another season instead of a big movie. anyway, i liked the whole movie except the end. wtf?! why drag it out...grrr!
i don't know what in the heck happened to me on sunday morning but i woke up so sad and depressed. it was soo weird. i could not get out of the funk. even after running a couple errands and having lunch i could just not snap out of it. i wonder if watching bridezillas and platinum weddings added to it? weirdness! i dunno.
after having my brothers over for a last minute bbq i felt better plus my margarita helped me to relax...
good morning neighbors!
i am still trying to recover from a great weekend. i think i need to do a "cleansing" too because i went a little overboard celebrating t's bday, makes me feel better that i wasn't the only one. LOL!
i overslept today...could not sleep last night, i was tossing and turning and several times i woke up sweating like a pig. grrr! then i couldn't remember where i put some concert tickets i had recently purchased, so finally i got up and thankfully found the tickets.
hanging out at my bro's apartments on friday night was pretty cool. at times i felt a little out of place, i guess hanging out with several 21 year olds is not my thing anymore. *sigh* don't get me wrong there were peeps my age but when the real young ones got there we fled.
the laker game was pretty exciting and after the game pretty much everyone played rock band. sam and john did such a great john singing, total pros!
some of the guys also played darts...some of them got a little too into it. competitive you think?
we had some good laughs and played rock band again...we are such nerds but we had some good belly laughs.
sunday we spent pretty much all day lounging and catching up with my dvr. my bff paulie called later on and wanted to have an early dinner at stinking rose in bevery hills so we did just that. dinner was delicious but today i stink like GARLIC!
we had such a nice weekend. it was so nice hanging out with my bros and mom on saturday. we had breakfast @ mimi's then since my bros are batman freaks they were on the hunt for some figures. they finally found them in pomona. freaks! LOL!
i found some nice shoes at the nordstrom rack and little bro found several pairs of luky jeans and a hoodie. we stopped at virgin's to take a shortcut and we started messing around with the hats...eveyone said i looked good in this one...what do you think? i would never buy it. where am i gonna go with a hat like that? what am i justin timberlake or a member of the blues brothers?
NOT! ;-)
since we were going to bbq later at my house we stopped at costco, target, and finally the market for some groceries. hubby grilled some chicken and carne asada. i made cole slaw, dip, and mom made fried beans, delish. my bros got the beer, chips and italian sausage to grill.
i was pooped from all the running around but that's my fault from trying to do too much...um, i'm an old fart i guess?!
james and paulie showed up around 6pm and we all hung out, ate like pigs and drank like lushes. the de la hoya fight was boring but we had a great time chatting and making jokes.
paulie had a brilliant idea to try a shot he's had before...1/2 part lime juice and 1 part coffee liqueur. i guess it's supposed to coagulate in your mouth and that it does, almost like spoiled cottage cheese. it's so gross. i had to spit it out because i gagged. hubby and others were smart enough not to do it.
most of us sampled tequila...patron, cabo wabo, and centenario. i liked patron the best. others peeps would be wine tasting but we were tequila tasting...lol.
everyone left around midnight. i was soo tired so we cleaned up and off to bed. good thing i drank plenty of water otherwise i would have been hurting the next day.
good times!
