De Todo Un Poco Show

So you guys know that every Tuesday night I help produce a live Spanish language show well this past Tuesday we recorded our Christmas show. I baked Red Velvet cupcakes and made guacamole and salsa for the nachos I served. Julio, the host, brought pupusas and cuban sandwiches. It was all yummy and the guys who work on the show really appreciated the effort. Anyway the show went on live without a hitch. Here's a picture of Tom and Adam working and one of Adam and his special creation. It's rather cute. It's always fun to work on the show because it breaks up my boring ass work week. I sit behind them and yell into the ear of the host.

Feeling Blue

It's so overcast today that it's putting me in a funk. I just got back from the French Quarter and being in the Qtr usually puts me in a good mood but I'm having no luck. I had to go purchase some gift baskets for our clients. I hate when it's cloudy with no sun because I get really down. Hope it clears up soon and the sun breaks through. I have the show tonight and I made Red Velvet cupcakes and I prepared all the stuff for Nachos for the crew. Hope they like because the guacamole is fresh.

Christmas Party

So my office Christmas party is this Friday and I'm trying to decide on what to wear. I'm usually late to the event because I can never figure out what I want to wear. This year I've decided to let you guys make the choice for me. I'm going to post a couple of different options for you to choose from. I might do it tonight or Wednesday since Tuesday nights are usually very busy for me. I'm going to try to stay away from the LBD but you never know.

Hornets Game

Went to the Hornets game last night. They were rocking some old ABA uniforms. Anyway the seats were pretty damn good. I got to take a picture with Hugo. Hey I'm a kid at heart you know. Kind of fuzzy but I think I look pretty good if I say so myself for just having come from the gym. Anyway you can see from one of the pictures how far we are from the courtside. It was raining and cold last night but I never would have expected the snow today.

Snowing in New Orleans

So I spoke to a friend of mine yesterday evening and he said it was snowing in Houston. I was kind of amazed because our weather is pretty much the same as theirs. Anyway I woke up this morning and I was walking into my bathroom and I look out my hallway window and snow is coming down hard. I was so amazed and so happy. When I was a little girl we used to play in the snow and build igloos all winter long. We had some good times. My dad and older brothers weren't such big fans of it since they had to do early morning shoveling sometimes to clear out the driveway. Anyway it's perfect hot cocoa and snuggling weather. I drove to work this morning and was having a bit of a difficult time because I couldn't figure out my whole defrost thing and my windshield kept fogging up. I finally got it worked out and now I'm at work. We are supposed to leave if it gets worse. Here's two pictures from the house this am. One is from the front and the other is from the back. So pretty! I'm supposed to go play in the snow with a friend but it looks like it's clearing up.

HORNETS

Guess who is going to the Hornets game tonight. ME! I got two tickets in the Club Level courtesy of Cliff my boss. I'm reaching into my grab bag of hos and picking the one that buys me dinner and drinks. Haha just joking. Cliff used to have tickets behind the Hornets bench as you can see by my blog picture but he's supposedly moved across the court to the other side where Duece McAlister sits. We saw him last year when a client gave me Club Level tickets on that side for one of the playoff games. If I see him this time I'm going to take a picture with him. Maybe he can be my baby's daddy. Just kidding again. Can't decide whether I want to wear my jersey I bought last summer right before they came out with the new ones or what I'm wearing to work today. I'm going to mull it over. Got to look cute you know.

Christmas Tree

So I worked on my tree last night and Isabel came by to give me a hand and it's almost done. I ran out of ornament holders aka paper clips. Isabel made fun of them but I swear I bought them and they came in a package that said they were ornament hangers. Oh well, it was too late to run out and buy some so I used the ones I had. I'm goind to go out and buy one really nice ornament for this year. Something real fancy. Of course the cats were curious to see what was going on but they mostly stayed away. I'm going to finish it up in the next couple of days and I'll post a picture for you guys. I'm going to try to decorate outside with some simple white lights and a wreath. My neighbors across the street ruined their perfect tree with a fugly wreath and these huge lighted reindeer. Obviously they didn't get the less is more. I really need some Christmas music to get me into the swing of things. I'm also debating whether I should take a holiday picture with the cats and put it in the Christmas cards I send out. What do you think? I also want to plan a holiday party and my beach getaway for the New Year. I so need a tan. Oh I also have to do Christmas shopping for my nieces and nephews. I've got 10 and two on the way.

Weight Loss

Just to let everyone know, I have successfully lost 10lbs in the last two months. I've been working out with my trainer twice a week but I have also been doing aerobics at my gym about five times a week. I think doing some type of aerobic workout has helped me sculpt my body since I've already got muscles with the help of Noel. I always go to the gym even if I can only get in 30 minutes instead of my normal hour routine. I like to alternate between mornings and evenings depending on how I feel. It keeps my mind right and keeps the pounds off. I'd like to lose an additional five pounds off the hips but I'm not going to stress about it. It helps that the machines all have tvs on them so I get to watch TV. I love to watch MSNBC in the evenings when I get to watch Keith Oberlmann and Rachel Maddow. I think I have a girl crush on her. She's awesome. Anyway with the holidays coming up I hope I can keep losing weight. Also have to keep it off because I've just altered a whole bunch of my clothes. Cheers!

Christmas Spirit

Hey everyone. I'm back to writing posts. This Saturday couple of friends and I went to buy Christmas trees and have some hot chocolate. We first went to one of those lot places but they wanted over a $100.00 for noble fir trees. I wanted a fuchsia flocked one but they wanted close to $200.00 and it was scary up close and it didn't smell. We headed over to Home Depot to buy some and I got a killer deal on my tree. It's nice and tall and not to round. It's perfect. I love the noble fir trees because of the skinny little branches that are spaced out. I like to put 2-3" ribbon in between the branches to give it a nice department store look. I'm going to decorate with all silver decorations and white lights. I'm very peculiar when it comes to decorating. I've been collecting silver, crystal and white decorations for years. I do have some red and green ones but I use them sparingly. Haven't been into Christmas the last three years but this year I put up my tree(haven't decorated yet) and put up some stockings and I'm ready. I used to be really into Christmas years ago but I've been kind of turned off by it. I'm thinking about having a Christmas party this year and kind of make it a house warming party. Have to think about it. I also have to try and compete with my neighbors across the street who are trying to outdo me. They've got a beautiful retro white tree up with few ornaments on it. It's gorgeous. My tree gives off the best smell and it reminds me of the holidays and all the old happy times in my life. Now all I have to worry about is Gato and MiuMiu drinking the water from the Christmas stand. They refuse to drink out of their bowl. They are quite finicky like that. Anyway, I'm going to try to get it decorated in the next couple of nights time permitting. Happy Holidays!

Disappointment

I struggled whether to put this post up but I figure this is my blog and it's about what I'm feeling and what's going on in my life. I didn't post it initially when I wrote it because I thought it was a bit caustic but I saved it anyway. I think that after having a couple of days to think about it I'd post it. It's not like it isn't the truth.

Have you ever been in love with someone and forgiven or seen past all their faults yet it's never enough for them. They think that because you love them they can walk all over you over and over. One day you wake up and realize it doesn't matter what you do or say this person will always disappoint you because no matter how much they talk about improving deep down they don't really think they need to. They see themselves as perfect because if you feel in love with them than they must be some hot shit and someone else will want them. They seem to have this inflated even if it's fake self esteem. They seem to believe that everyone else that they've hurt have wronged them not vice versa. They'll go to therapy and tell their therapist half truths and lies because they don't want the therapist to tell them the truth. That they are full of shit. The truth hurts. It's painful to face reality that you are a fucked up dysfunctional asshole who is so self centered they can't look past the fun he's going to have that night or weekend. Therapy only works if you realize you have emotional issues that you want to resolve. It doesn't work if you want reassurances that you aren't a manipulative pathological liar that you are. And of course when they wake up and realize that they are all alone and it sucks not having the best thing in their life they try coming back sniffling and crying crocodile tears asking for forgiveness. I'm tired of being disapppointed.

Hornets Game

Last night I got to go to Hornets game. A client of mine gave me two tickets to his Suite and I invited my friend Beth. We actually got to go down to the court side and sit for the last quarter. It was lots of fun. I wasn't feeling my best since I'm trying to kick this head cold I've been fighting. It's great to sit up in the Suite with food and booze at your disposal. It was fancy. I know this post sucks but I am sick.

Pimples

Ok, so I woke up this morning with a pimple over my eyebrow. It's not your average pimple it's one of those undergrounder painful ones. I haven't had any pimples like that in over a year. I used to get them once a month right before my period but I've been on YAZ for over a year and yes it really does help with the complexion. I've never really had bad skin just those undergrounders as I got older leading up to my period. I've been fortunate to not have had adolescent acne like most people. Looks like there are two of them now. YIKES! Thank God I use Clearsil everyday mixed with my face cream. Maybe it'll go away fast b/c I've been known to pick at them. I had used Proactiv because a co-worker had given me her daughter's extra shipment and it seemed to work. I discovered that all it is is benzoyl peroxide mixed with the face cream so I've been using ROC cream mixed with Clearasil, it's main ingredient is benzoyl peroxide and I wash my face with a Nuetrogena product that has it too.

Hair

So I got a haircut last week with my guy Randy and he blew dry my hair afterwards like always. This time he was like what have you been using on your hair because I have never been able to have it this straight with only a blow dryer. He usually touches it up with a straightener. So I told him I'd decided not to buy anymore hair products until I used all the ones I had in my cabinet. I have started using this product I bought in Argentina. I'd used it once while I was down there but wasn't impressed so it sat in my cabinet until recently. Let me tell you this product straightens my hair with or without blow drying it. I'm not sure what is in it but it works like a charm. I've used US Loreal products and they never work. When I use this stuff I can fall asleep with wet hair and in the morning I'll have relatively straight hair that needs a couple of swipes of the ole Chi. I don't know what it is about hair products from South America but I also was super impressed with this leave in conditioner that I bought down there. I haven't seen it here but maybe when I'm in Progreso I'll see if they sell it. It left my hair very soft and wavy/curly.

PuppyCam

Last week I was really down and I needed a pick me up and I found this webcam which features six Shiba Inu puppies. They are so cute. So I would keep my browser up and I would be working on my computer and when I heard them cry or bark I would look at them. It's just like having puppies without having to clean poop. Totally made my day. Just checked on them and some of them are asleep and others are fighting the sleep. I'm in love with them and it makes me want to get a puppy. Check them out.

So cute!

My friend Robin sent me this picture and it's so cute. I feel like this some days. And yes I'm posting again. Nothing important though. BTW, headed to the VALLE for Thanksgiving. Who is up for Progreso on Wednesday? Micheladas with spicy peanuts anyone? Arturos for lunch? We can pick up some bottles for a nice cocktail during the Texas game. Margaritas anyone?
