• recently my friend paulie took me to the coldplay concert in anaheim.  we had a great time and the show was beyond amazing.  i would see them again in a heartbeat.  i loved the laser lights and it was all very visual and made the music come to life.

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! 

we munched out on pizza (thanks bro), snacks, and of course there was tons of alcohol (duh).  dan made lemon drop shots (his specialty) and made sure the young pups and some of the old farts catch a buzz.  =D
some of the guys also played darts...some of them got a little too into it.  competitive you think?

happy birthday hubby!!!  do you remember this picture from last year?  LOL!

LMBO!

no crows this year, i'm sure he was happy about that...

tonight we are starting the celebration at my bro's apartment. this is actually the first time he has us over and he's been there a year already...times flies.   he's such a typical bachelor.  ;o)  i'm excited to get together with his friends and co-workers to watch the lakers game plus play some good ol' rock  band.  i don't know if i will work up the courage to sign but maybe after a couple vodka tonics with extra limes i will be good to go!

i got hubby a couple outfits and i had a fruit/nut basket mailed to his office this morning.  i couldn't pass up embarrassing him since i know how much he hates to let peeps know it's his birthday...lol!

tomorrow we are having friends and family over for a bbq.  hope we will all survive the hot weather...ugh!

happy birthday hon, love ya!

Audio: Share your karaoke song.

don't be a hater, you know i am rocking out! (lo)

Rocking out!

Here's another video I'm brave enough to show you guys from my holiday party earlier this month.  This time my cousin Laura and I are singing.

Nicely done...NOT!

so here i am at our tamale party last friday.  i was having so much fun plus paulie made sure i was a little tipsy before everyone showed up so i could relax...i think that was his excuse...lol.  anyway, that helped me to get some courage to sing. i would never ever ever try anything like this...well, never say never.

go ahead and laugh, i won't get offended. : )

omg you guys the party turned out to be a blast.  i think this was our best tamale party by far. i had the worst headache all day but once i got home it was forgotten.  weird how that happens right?  hubby got some of the stuff ready before i got home plus roxy got a quick bath so he wouldn't offend any of our guests since he was certainly going to be the center of attention and oh boy was he ever! 

i made bobby flays pomegranate sangria (3 bottles of red total), we had 3 different types of beer, tequila and wine of course. 

Pomegranate Sangria
Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay, 2007

Ingredients
1 bottle fruity red wine
2 cups pomegranate juice
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup simple syrup (equal amounts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves, cooled)
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1 large orange, halved and thinly sliced
1 green apple, cored, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup red grapes, sliced in 1/2
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher, cover and refrigerate for at least
4 hours or up to 48 hours before serving. Serve over ice.

i didn't add the pomegranate seeds because they were so pricey so i bought blackberries instead and omitted the grapes.  it was a success!!!

our guest didn't arrive until a little after 7pm so i had time to catch up and have dinner with mom and hubby.  she left with my bros to mexico on saturday morning so i was happy to have a little more time with her.  her chorizo beans were the bomb and the tamales kicked butt!  big thanks to paulie for bringing his own bottle of booze, i think everyone had a shot of that sweet tasting honey liqueur.  can't forget to thank those peeps that brought us gifts too...much appreciated! : )

pretty much everyone showed up except for my girlfriend rosie, my buddy andreas who's been sick, and my other girlfriend who always flakes out...boo!
my brother raymond brought rock band and guitar hero and we had a blast. i think almost everyone had a shot at it, and yes even me.  i would never ever be one to do kareoke and didn't think i would try to sing this time but once you get some alcohol involved, i'm there!  and let me tell you, i rocked the house!

by the end of the night i had lost my voice from so much laughing and singing.  hubby said he is going to sign me up for "america's got talent"...bahaha!!!  i loved rock band so much that as soon as my bros get back we're having another  party...can't wait! : ) 

i cannot believe how much i danced that night and omg i think i over did it on the drinking but i kept myself hydrated which i was getting crap for from all corners but i was going to be the one with the hang over- not them, well they were too...lol.

i was very happy that we had a good turn out and everyone had a blast.  can't wait till next year.  thanks to everyone for the big laughs and all that good stuff.
