Punkin' Patch

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 18:07:00 -0700

My face hurts from smiling so much today. We went to a Punkin' Patch in Flower Mound, TX and had ourselves a ball, and a hayride, and a carnival ride, and a bouncy house. Thank you, God.

A Little Bitty Steak

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 16:16:16 -0700

I love to eat this little filet at Houlihan's in Addison. What's good besides the cracked pepper crust is the wedge salad with a large thin slice of Bleu Cheese draped over the side of it with a small sprinkling of pecans and bacon. The asparagus, golden beets, and potato wedges were perfectly prepared. I blew my diet today, but I'm sweating it off in my 100°+ apartment because sometime today my air conditioning took a shit and died on me.

Visiting Dallas Cowboy Stadium

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 11:57:47 -0700

My parents and I took the VIP tour of the stadium this past Friday, and here are a ton of photos that I took. One with the random setting on the Vignette app on my EVO,

and the other just through the straight camera.

The stadium is VERY air conditioned, and the people working there are SUPER friendly. Jerry's house is A-OK!

Moments to Remember

Mon, 16 May 2011 06:27:36 -0700

I just got back from Austin last night, and I don't have to go to work today. The weather is cool - about 60 in my apartment - and I'm having cold leftover Conan's pizza, drinking coffee and watching the space shuttle "Endeavour" take off.

What a great day.

It's no coincidence that "Mama Cozzi" rhymes with "kamikaze". I love me some ghetto pizza.

Hot Nuts!

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 17:18:00 -0800

Just having a 3rd grader moment giggling my ass off in the grocery store remembering the story my BFF told me about her experience flying 1st class. The flight attendant came by everyone's seat loudly offering "HOT NUTS!" If I had been sitting next to her we would have been kicked off the plane. This one's for you, Mary!

Approved

Got a phone call on the way home from work yesterday. My application has been approved. I told her it was because they haven't found the bodies yet. Tonight was my Gavvie Doodle night. I kissed him so much we both fell into a sugar coma. I bought him his own comforter so we can make him a pallet on the floor instead of using a playpen. When I get to my new apartment, I want to make him a bed under a table like a tent. I see a trip to Ikea in my near future. Here he is like an angel.

A New Year :-)

Sat, 01 Jan 2011 10:10:05 -0800

I don't know that I have anything to say, but wanted to say something about it being the first day of the new year. 1/1/11 It's so quiet in the apartment, just me and Angie's cats. I'm having a really nice cup of coffee in a fancy Starbuck's tumbler with fancy mocha mix inside. I made it myself with the gift Alberto gave me for Christmas. I have been too sick to even care about drinking a cup of coffee (or even bring the present home from work) since the week before Christmas. The asthma medications have driving me close to the edge of sanity, and being by myself is the worst place to be. I was unable to have Christmas Eve festivities with Alberto and Bea because I was so sick, and that is just sad. :-(

But today, I feel better. I feel happier. If I can find an apartment to move into within my budget before January 31st, I will be ecstatic. I walked out of one place yesterday disgusted with the way they were acting towards me. I don't know if it was because it was NYE and they wanted to get out of there or maybe it was because I looked like I had just crawled out from under a newspaper on the street because I didn't feel good, or maybe my attitude when I started out on my adventure to find an apartment got sideswiped. Maybe a combination. It set the tone for the rest of the day, unfortunately.

Change is coming. It must. I cannot go another year like the previous one. I like to think my friend Reb helps me stay grounded, and she doesn't even know it. I've never even met her, but I've known her through the internet since 2005 when we first started blogging on Yahoo! 360. Reb is so real. She's so observant and down to earth. I love her very much, and her photography is inspiring. I have photos in my memory card that have not been processed or shared with anyone since Thanksgiving, and I feel like it has been because of the busy-ness of Christmas and work. Typical end-of-year madness for everyone, I'm sure. I just feel the need to lead a more meaningful life outside of work, but at least with work I know what to do. I feel so lost when I'm not there, and no one is around here.

I just divorced myself from Google Buzz, more internet divorces are imminent. I must mainstream everything, and everything syncs to my HTC EVO Sprint phone. It has become the hub of my social and workplace life. I practically sleep with my phone, but it will not accept Lotus Notes email yet. When I move, I am going to try my best to not need an internet connection. Times are hard, and since I have my smartphone with unlimited everything there should be no reason to pay the $50 for a connection. In that extra time, I hope to avoid electronics and become more craft friendly in my new place. I will probably get another dog, and absolutely positively will be making it comfy for the love of my life - my grandson Gavin - to come be with this Nanner Boo. I bought him an entire barnyard of toys to play with for Christmas that still sits unopened in the boxes. I was hoping to have it all set up for him the morning we had Christmas together, but there were more people there besides me with different ideas about how that morning should go, so I left it all intact in the box and brought it back home with me. I am thankful my DIL sends photos of him almost daily to give me that boost I need to make it through the hectic and/or lonely days.

Tonight I have plans to go have some fun. I have been looking forward to this for ...2 months? Maybe 2 months! I love my friends Ruben, Sara, and Tony. They have invited me over for dinner this evening and they make me laugh so much. I am truly grateful to have plans today. I must start getting things done so I can leave and go have some out and out FUN. It's been a long time coming.

Prayer list:

Manny - a sweet boy who is sick sick with high fever
Kenna - who had brain surgery the same day her grandchild was born
Aunt Donna - who had a stroke and can barely walk a few feet

And if you don't believe in prayer or God, then just think nice thoughts for them. It's the same thing, really.

Trammell Crowe Asian Art Collection

A test post from my HTC EVO using the "sendy" app for Posterous. The lighting was too low to get any sharp pics with my Nikon, but the damn camera in my phone worked great. Go figure. I hung out here last week with my friends from San Diego. This collection is across the street from the Nasher Sculpture Center in downtown Dallas. You won't find a more friendly staff anywhere. They are top notch and they care very much for the art.

It's a Jackson Browne Sort of Day

Sat, 13 Nov 2010 20:33:19 -0800

No news is good news:

My brother has colon cancer. He had an operation to remove a tumor and 14" of colon. I don't communicate much with him, but Mom says he's doing OK and he's home now. I'll see him Thanksgiving, and give him a hug.

I'm tired of everything, it seems. My care meter is not even registering unless it's for work or my kids. I've been sliced open one too many times these past few months by people I love, and I've taken on about all I can handle. If it weren't for the routine of work, I don't know what I'd do except slip into some sort of mental madness. In a world of bickering and fighting on TV and the task I have taken upon myself to feel every status update in all my social networking circles, I find myself just staring at the moon. The moon has claimed my sanity.

My BFF Mary and her husband Steve from San Diego are coming to see me the day after Thanksgiving and staying for quite a few days. Maybe this is exactly what I need to bring me out of the dumps. I'm super excited about that.

Tech news:

Dirpy.com is gone. I hope nobody snitched. I loved that website. RIP Dirpy :(

Evernote is the shizzazzle. KJ says check it out.

I've gotta organize my iPod better. I hate iTunes (and everything Apple besides my iPod) so I'm using Real Player to keep it synced. I find myself walking more and more every day, and I like it. Even in the rain. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I'm making some goodies for Thanksgiving. These tasty pumpkin treats. There's a website called "eatwisconsincheese.com". Seriously? It's the coolest place!!! http://tinyurl.com/3xfjq86

Here's another recipe I'm going to make. Call me Suzy Homemaker. http://tinyurl.com/3xwxdn6

Does anyone have a car seat they don't use anymore? I need it for this thing right here:

I Don't Blog Anymore

Sat, 30 Oct 2010 18:03:55 -0700

I'm so boring, really. I don't blog anymore. My dog died, so there goes an enormous source of entertainment. I quit doing unhealthy illegal things, so no drama or stories to tell there. I work my ass off, so unless you want to talk about where I work (which would suit me fine) it pretty much leaves the routine BS.

Miscellaneous:

Today I watched Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear and it was really good. The tweets on Twitter were killer - and I comment there because I can't stand talking about politics or religion on Facebook. It's off limits for me. I loved reading the signs in the mobile photo uploads on Twitter. I watched while I mopped the floor, and stumbled around the house doing boring things. I was going to put up an infant chair for sale on Craigslist, but when I looked up a description of the item, I learned that it turns into a toddler chair, too. So I didn't post my ad. I'm anxious to dump some baggage because I know I'm going to be moving in a few months. I haven't found a place to live, but as I drive around, I record names of apartment complexes on my phone so I can look them up on the net later.

Artsy Fartsy:
I made this paper thing out of a Stoneware mold and toilet paper. I was going to paint it with watercolor pencils, but the pencil tears the paper and really... I guess using watercolor on toilet paper isn't such a brilliant idea. So I went to Asel Art this afternoon (I love that store - it beats the CRAP out of Hobby Lobby and Michael's) and picked up some Nupastels and some Crystal Clear (ALMOST TEN DOLLARS FOR THAT STUFF NOW!) to coat the forms with. I spent about $17 on supplies. For what? I may or may not even finish them, but it's entertaining.

Would you believe one of my molds is being offered on eBay for $85??? I'm serious! Look! Witch Cookie Mold

Of course, no one's bidding on it. lol

Tech news:

I updated my Evo to Froyo 2.2 so it's freaking awesome. Downloaded a few more apps... NPR news, SwiftKey Keyboard, and some sort of backup app for my phone since the HTC only has kind of a basic contact backup. Certainly not one for photos like my BlackBerry did. That problem isn't really a problem anymore anyway with the addition of the fantastic app called "Dropbox". I love it. I use it with Preston for pics of the little babby, or Alberto for work. It's a sweet little deal. KJ says check it out.
I let my hosting account go. Since I haven't blogged in eons and only post photos, I couldn't justify the expense. I still have the domain, but I moved all my posts (and Copper's too) to Posterous. Thanks to Lionel for helping me!
Kiddo news:
Gavin is crawling and he is curious. I've only seen him take a few "scoots" with his legs and butt, but I rarely put him down when he's over here anyway. Maybe when the kids get back from Texarkana they'll come over for a football game and I can watch him in action. I was going to post a photo of him, but my browser keeps crashing and I want to get off here and go do something else.
I won't talk about my other kids because they'll get all embarrassed and stuff.
Right now, I'm going to put away the groceries I bought tonight and take Mario to the Candy Shop on the Wii.

Hasta la Taco, Bitchez.
