Oh come on, every now and again it's good to take a little trip and get away from reality. Who's with me? Departure in 15 minutes. The catch? Ah, yes. The catch. We have to be back in 30 minutes so I have enough time to blow dry my hair and get to work. I'm sure there's a multitude of extravaganzas on your table too, so let's just take a breather and sail away, come sail away with me for all of 15 minutes before we are jerked back to our busy, hectic and rather mundane lives.
The Oscars have me thinking....can you imagine what it would be like to get a prom or homecoming EVERY year for the rest of your life? All you have to do is eat nothing, tone like crazy and pay thousands for designer gowns. And the pop. would flock to you as wild geese flock to dried corn, thrilled and embattling one another to capture the "best" picture of you. You would practice your possible Oscar worthy speech or performance and walking in 5 inch stilettos for fear of falling flat on your face during the red carpet parade. Schedule appointments with the make up artist, hairdresser, jewelry specialists and designers amid the gown fittings, teeth whitening (perhaps a few more veneers this time), oh dear is that another wrinkle, call the botox doctor straight away. All the while trying to film your upcoming horrid movie about a gay or lesbian couple (I mean those ARE the worthy Oscar winners lately, right?), keep the nanny in check (good heavens, she is letting your kids run wild around the house, does she not realize your designer couch is a cool 50 grand?), and try to keep up with the Pitt-Jolies across the street who just seem to have it SOOO together, except for the whole babies out of wedlock and constant talk of splitting up. ...all alone, in my own, little room What a relief...I AM back in my own little room, enjoying life immensely, never followed or hounded by 30 or so crazed pop. with cameras, not having EVERY detail of my life scrutinized by the world......ahhhhh.....I LOVE LOVE IT! Thank heavens I don't have to deal with the glamorous, glamorous, going first class..., what a relief I am not a single lady harping all my single ladies, all my single ladies...if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it on an old flame, I kept my flame, thank you very much, for the eternities (YAY!) and stars alive I am so lucky to have the wonderful friends and family I do and IIIIIIIIIII, will always love youooooooooo.
Thank you to my friends who keep me grounded, thank you to my family, who without, I would not be who I am today. Thank you to all those I have come in contact with that have made my life a better one. Thank you for making me want to try to be a better person. The production of this little thing I call my life is a wonderful and amazing one thanks to those around me. Thank you, thank you, thank....awwww dang it, Juan needs to get in the shower now (as I put the shampoo bottle slowly down)...maybe I will have enough time to finish my Oscar worthy speech next shower. :)

Hee hee hee...
Wow, I've never met someone who could blog less than me. Where's this girl's commitment and vow of a New Year with resolutions and all that jazz? We're gonna paint the town red....and all that jazz...sorry, I do love Chicago!
Don't worry, I made New Year's resolutions including walking Daisy at least 2 miles 3 times per week and going to the gym on a more regular basis and all kinds of stuff...blogging on a regular basis wasn't in the stars, so deal with it. And no, I didn't really feel like changing my stars on that one.
Not much is new. I work, play with my new Cricut (cuts out all kinds of shapes for scrap booking) and attempt to keep house (or apartment in our case).
Juan works and goes to school and still manages to come home in a happy mood. Oh what a husband I have!
Christmas was fun. We drove out to Florida in our "blackbird" (what we call our TransAM) and Juan was a speed demon! It's a wonder we are back with no major accidents or jet lag. Really, 105 on I-10? Yes, really. Very scary for me. I don't know how Juan put up with me yelling to slow down for a full 10 hours! We took Daisy with us and that saved us SOOOO much money. Boarding is a ridiculously expensive commodity. But Daisy HATES car rides, I felt bad for her. We have to keep her covered with a pillow when we travel so she doesn't get carsick. She's a good sport, though. She will fall asleep and stay asleep until we are ready to stop for gas or food.
In Florida Juan watched all his football games on a projector in the guest house. It was funny. My Dad kept disappearing and we knew it was to sneak out and watch the football games with Juan. Thank heavens for ESPN total access or whatever it is b/c my parents don't have cable. They say they wouldn't mind it, but would rather save the money. Anyone who knows Juan knows that's a bad thing. He lives for sporting events....therefore cable is a necessity, not a desire.
So the girls played with Jefferson (he was spoiled ROTTEN by New Year's) and the Cricut (that's the advantage to driving, you get to bring TONS of stuff!) and the boys watched the games out in the guest house.
Fun times.
I promise to post a more exciting blog later. This is it for now!
