Well Its A Little Update...

well hopefully this little blog will come out just fine... Cisco gave me a real cell phone for Christmas, yay no more go phone for me! Im so excited. I am sending this blog from the phone right now trying to get the hang of the keyboard, I guess the good thing about it is that it is set up just like a computer keyboard so I am flying across this thing like a champ. There wasnt too much that was different about this christmas from others...the kids got more presents than they should have and still felt the need to complain about it... which really bothers me. So I have been warming up to the idea of Ciscos to spend next christmas in Mexico. I think that it would be good to have the kids spend it somewhere where the kids dont get as much and they are genuinely thankful for what they do get. I have the thought right now that due to the spoilings of aunts, uncles and grandparents they have in the back of their head "i wish i got more" or "what else did i get?" so we will see how the fates play out for us. I hope that we are able to do it. I hope that all of you had a great holiday with your family and friends. Happy New year to you all...make it a safe one. :)

Tonight Is The Night...

it's Christmas Eve and the kids are all kinds of excited. They can't help from jumping up and down in complete excitement. For me, I'm excited also, I just am a little happy that it's all over. It just gets to the point where it's a little too hectic for me. It's the jumping around and visiting everyone in the next two nights that drives me nuts, I swear we will be living in the car tonight and tomorrow, or atleast that is what it feels like. I think that I just might not come into work on Wednesday, well yeah right who am I kidding, I'm here right now. Atleast today is only a half day. But it was so hard to come into work when the house was nice and warm, the kids and Cisco were in their PJ's watching cartoons and here I am coming down the stairs going to work. That just really sucked. I'm sure I will be feeling the same way on Wednesday also. That is how it always is. No one wants to come into work on Christmas Eve as well as the day after Christmas. I think that this is a lot better though, job wise, because I remember when I worked at Mandalay how much it sucked to go to work. And at those places you don't get the holiday's off. You're actually very lucky if you do get the holiday off.

Well here is to tonight and Olivia's performance. As well as Christmas in general.

Till I see you all again...

Just My Luck...

Well...no luck at all. I wasn't able to get the tickets and I am quite upset by it. I thought I had a pretty good plan going for a while, but aparently not. Nice goin'...I guess I should have camped out at MGM after all. Oh well, life will go on.

On a lighter note, it's almost Christmas and the phase of people being rude, pushing into one another and cutting eachother off on the streets is nearly over. I tend to hate people in general around this time of year. It's been all blown into something that it never should have become...all about the presents. That is a shame. I mean I buy gifts for everyone too, but I can also appreciate the time of year that it is and what it means, atleast in my heart. And presents are not at the core of it. I think this year instead of letting the kids just tear into things the minute that we get downstairs, I think that we will have a prayer and give thanks for the true meaning of the day itself, and then let the shredding begin. I was thinking about that today while driving home from work and I think that would be a beautiful start to the day.

Well, I'm sure that I won't write until after this holiday so Merry CHRISTMAS...not Happy Holiday's (screw that crap), and I hope everyone is healthy and happy.

Much Love...

On The Search For...

Hannah Montana. I thought that it would be an awesome Christmas present for Olivia if I were to score some Hannah Montana concert tickets. Cisco just left to go to the Ticketmaster located in one of the local grocery stores and I am camped out on the computer. The tickets go on sale at noon, so I have about 20 or so minutes until I have to type faster than ever before. We said whoever got the tickets first would call the other, so that we don't buy two sets. I guess I could always sell them to one of Olivia's little friends for the price that we bought them for if that did happen. But, I don't want to go through the hassle of doing all that. I really hope that we get them, but if we don't the one good thing is that, 1. Olivia doesn't know she is coming to do a concert here and 2. She doesn't know that I'm trying to get the tickets.

It's funny because I thought this was a project that I was going to do on my own, since I came up with it and all. But at about 5:30 or 6:00 this morning Cisco was getting dressed. I couldn't figure out what the hell he was doing. I asked him and he said that he was going to the MGM to see if he could get the tickets. So believe me it's nice to have a partner in crime now with this stuff.

I hope we get them, but if not atleast I tried extremely hard. I even tried to join the fan club at $30 a year, just to get the presale code to get the tickets yesterday.

Well wish me luck and I'll eventually blog to say how it all went down.
