Let's get it on!

SWEET! The Wall Street Journal is reporting that John McSame WILL go through with tonight's debate! Apparently, he feels confident enough today that a financial rescue agreement will be finalized soon, so...

SUUUUUUUURRRREEEE...

Why not call a spade a spade and just admit the fear! Palin is nowhere near ready to successfully debate someone of Joe Biden's caliber. Yes, her professionally written, rehearsed speech at the Republican National Convention may have been inspiring to some. But where things really matter are arenas like the debate where you're relying more on your experience and understanding of the issues and how to best resolve them. And that's exactly where she's going to lose! All that momentum based on fake feminism is about to start circling the drain, people. How could McSame bitch endlessly about Obama being little more than a celebrity, and then select Palin as his running mate?! At least Obama backs his shit up! And we'll all get to see just how much Sarah Palin is NOT READY for all this! It was a nice try, but it's gonna come back to bite you in the ass...

Ooh, has anyone else heard the "rumor" that after the debates Joe Biden is going to drop out of contention citing health issues? And what will Barack do then? Only the most GENIUS thing ever! He's supposed to be picking up Hillary Clinton as his new selection for VP! Wow, can you imagine? Once Sarah Palin is down after the debate, Hillary will step in and take back all the feminist vote! Lord, PLEASE let this be true. I heard from a reliable source that this information has been making the rounds at Senator Tom Daschle's office!! Alright, I can't even write about it anymore b/c I'm just TOO EXCITED at the thought...Who's with me?

How long is my dong?

That's the name of the first game I played at my first ever party yesterday! By the end of this crazy party I ended up with Johnny Depp for a husband (no complaints there), a few lap dances from the ladies in attendance, and a couple "goodies" to test out on the hubby. All I can say is if you ever get an invite to a Pure Romance party...bring a bottle of Patron b/c that just tips the party over the edge from naughty, as in "I've done some things...," to NASTY, as in "Ooh girl, let me just tell you ALL my sex stories!!!" HAHAHA

It was mad fun...I'm actually thinking about hosting one at my casa sometime soon. So, if you live in Tucson and wanna join the fun, all you have to do is ask...



So, then some friends and I went to see that movie "The Women" w/Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Debra Messing, and Eva Mendez. TOTAL chick flick...in fact, there were NO MEN AT ALL in this movie! That's right...even when you see the characters walking down the streets of NY, the director made sure there weren't any men driving by in cars or anything! And anytime there is a man included in a conversation, you only see the woman he's talking to, and you never see the man on the other end.

My thoughts...it was funny in some parts, serious in others. Overall, I think it was a little too girly for me. Jada's character is even a lesbian in the movie, and combined with the complete absence of all men, it just felt like overkill to me. But I did love all the women in their roles. Cloris Leachman and Bette Midler are in this as well, and they're always fun to watch! I think I was more in the mood to see Righteous Kill or My Best Friend's Girl, but I can't be mad at this movie. It was alright...

My New Wii Fit

Even though my birthday is still 2 weeks away, Julio has been keeping an eye out for my present...a Wii Fit. They're always sold out, and the ones on eBay are complete rip-offs! So, I guess he went by GameStop on Friday night, and they actually had two in stock! And he can never wait to give me a gift, so the minute I came home he gave me my new toy!

I tried it out for the first time yesterday, and that thing is crazy ridiculous fun! I've taken Yoga, and I'm nice at Pilates, so most of the balance stuff was easy. My favorite exercise was the Hula Hoop game. You pretty much just stand on the board wiggling your hips in a circle, and there are other Miis that throw you extra hoops the whole time that you have to catch. So, by the end, you've got like 5 hoops around your waist, and you can't slow down or they fall! It sounds like nothing, but it's mad hard! And then, I rocked that game, so I unlocked SUPER HULA HOOP!! That game is pure madness! There are more hoops, and there are TWO rounds of wiggling. The first round has you rotate to the right, and then of course the second has you go to the left. It's 3 minutes of torture...but the fun kind of torture! :)

I did all the poses and exercises that were open. You have to workout more and more to unlock the rest. I banked an hour of exercise time, and I am so damn sore today! My ass, back, arms, legs, and of course abs are all giving me the silent treatment right now!! I think I'll punish them more a little later on today with more hooping, but I may be completely full of shit and just succumb to the soreness...

If you've got a Wii, and you like exercising even a little bit...you gotta find yourself a Fit. You'll LOVE it...I promise!

The Leonita College Fund...

...Now taking donations! Please help us put this lovely young lady through school. She can't afford tuition, and in order to qualify for financial aid she'd have to wait 2 years before the Citizenship & Immigration Services takes a look at her application.

So, if there's anybody rich out there with lots of money to invest in the education of my very best friend...

Leonita

My best friend in the whole world...I'd do anything for this girl! I completely corrupted her back in the day!! Ask her to tell you about one of her most memorable kisses...I'll bet she drops my name in there somewhere! HAHAHA

Sometimes you meet people at the exact right moment...that was how Leonita came into my crazy life. One day at Rindge, here comes this bouncy little mixed girl! No sir! And the rest is history...she attached herself to my hip, and we've been inseparable ever since.

There were 4 of us girls that you could always find together back then. Me, Leonita, Charlotte, and Kristen. We used to get into mad trouble together...but when worse came to worse, those girls were my life! One of these days, I'm going going, back back, to Cambridge Cambridge. And don't sleep on the fact that I will get the 4 of us back together...with alot less making out this time, though! LMFAO!!!

My BFF Leonita has been through so much. She's currently struggling with this fucked up ass immigration system we can't seem to mend because everyone's so fucking afraid of anything that could be interpreted as amnesty! Pop quiz hot shots: What do you think happens to a beautiful person who comes here at a very young age, with a passport, on a damn airplane, whose parents didn't take the time to acquire the necessary paperwork even AFTER her step-father legally adopted her, and now she can't get a decent job b/c they all ask for the social security card she can't get. And without that job, you really expect her to be able to pay thousands of dollars to apply for citizenship? Soooo...she scrounges up the money to get her shit in order, and anticipates a decision so she can finally enroll in college and better her situation, only to find out that there's such a lack of funding, resources, and personnel at the citizenship office that they're just now looking at applications from DECEMBER OF 2006! Gimme a fucking break, someone...PLEASE! Open your eyes and look the hell around. And the next time you start to form a prejudicial opinion about the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country and the way they should be "handled," stop and consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, there's A LOT more to their stories than what they print in the papers! Or better yet...why don't you come out to Arizona and get a firsthand look at the number of desperate Mexicans who brave the 110 degree summers, endless desert, lack of water, and complete absence of empathy all for the small chance at a better life!

Leonita...te amo con todo mi corazon! Do you, and I'll always be there to hold you down! ♥

No good deed goes unpunished

About a month ago, I noticed a good friend was down about some stuff. So, I asked. It turned out she, her boyfriend, and her 3 kids were on the verge of being evicted from the sweet house they had lived in for only a month. She said she needed a miracle, and it just so happened that I had a little extra money just then, so I lent her what she needed. I don't see that it's a big deal, that's the kind of thing I would do for anyone I care about. And I trusted her when she said she'd pay me back, which she did today. And when I looked in her eyes as she thanked me for helping her family out, I knew she was truly sincere. That's why I did it. And when she told me I could come to her if I ever needed anything, I knew she meant it.

Unfortunately for me (and Julio), several months ago we decided to get rid of our 3 couches. Our living room was just not big enough for that much furniture. So, we bought a sectional instead, and the couches got moved to the garage until I could put them up for sale on craigslist. One day, a friend of Julio's asked him if he and his girlfriend could buy the couches off of us to put in their new house. He said they didn't have the money for us right then, but he promised they'd pay us a little each month. Sure, we said, why not? I mean, we were friends, right? It's not like they're gonna screw us over or anything...

Well, every few months, after not receiving even $5 of the $500 they owed us, we would call them to see what was up. It seemed there was always something bad happening with them. Their phone got cut off or lost, their car broke down and they used all their money on repairs...every time. And I get that...shit happens, what're you gonna do? But, come on, you can't even give me $5 a week toward your debt when we did y'all this favor? And we never would hear back from them, it just got so damn frustrating.

Finally, I wrote them both on their MySpaces, and the girlfriend let me know they are getting evicted from their place, their car note is past due and the car is about to get re-poed, all kinds of stuff. She "offered" to have us take the couches back because they don't have the money, and she doesn't think they're gonna have it anytime soon. I had to squash that idea real quick. I mean, what the hell am I gonna do with the couches now, when they didn't fit in here BEFORE I got my new sectional? C'mon, now! So, I told her she could sell them for the money they owe us and give us that. I even offered to help her post them up for sale. It took all my self-control not to ask her why, if they have been having such financial difficulties, there are pictures on her MySpace of trips they've taken this year to Minnesota and Las Vegas! No sir, I'll just keep that little tidbit of information in my back pocket in case a more opportune time present itself to drop that bomb!

So, now I have to decide whether to file a claim against them for our money because it seems like we're never gonna see that. And they don't seem interested in trying, either. I feel like such an idiot because I watch Judge Judy...I know how this shit play out...I know you're supposed to get something in writing and hold them to it, but I DIDN'T! And now I'm kicking myself in the ass for that. I now have to make a ridiculous move I neither want to make nor think I should have to be forced to take. I can't stand being taken advantage of...and I really, REALLY hate being put in this position. But $500 is a nice chunk of change...and I WILL see that one way or another! Damn me and my good deeds...

SOOOOOO tired of job hunting!

You know how everyone's always told us that we NEED to get a degree beyond high school? "It'll help you find better jobs," they'd say. But no one took into account the utter shithole 8 years of idiocy would find us in!

I graduated from the University of Arizona back in May. If that's not enough to impress, I graduated Summa Cum Laude...that means a perfect 4.0 GPA, boys and girls. Still not enough for ya? Well, I also did all that while raising my two oldest daughters, working part-time, and I even had a baby the summer between my two years at the university! So, here I am thinking I've done alot to position myself in a pretty good spot to find some awesome new gig, right? WRONG!!!

I've been submitting my resume to employers since March of this year. So far, the response has been pure crap! This is mostly because of this shit economy we've been left with in the wake of several moronic decisions. Plus, I've held the same job for the past 5 years...mostly because I have a schedule that is madd flexible, and since I work for the U of A, I got a sweet (sweet ASS sweet) tuition reduction. I kinda shot myself in the foot career-wise, though, because now all these employers see that I'm applying for a marketing position, but all my recent experience is in research! UGH!

I literally check job websites several times a day EVERY DAY! What choice do I have, right? I'll find something...just wish it would happen already!!! I'm praying that Barack-onomics will help me out. Anything but the continuation of the bullshit we've endured the last two terms. Who's with me?

The 1st Blog

I'm official! Decided to follow in the footsteps of some of my people...Christie, Kamil...and create my own spot to keep everyone update on the family.

There's lots going on with us right now. Leila learned how to ride her bike this week...no training wheels for my big girl! And Gaby is FINALLY starting to walk. She's 15 months already, it's about damn time! Lexi's still her crazy, bouncy self...nothing new to report on her at the moment.

So, feel free to become a Loyal, comment, whatever. I'll try to write as much as is necessary to let y'all know what's going on with me/us. Anything ya wanna know...holla at ur girl!
