So I will be moving to Cali.

Good Bye Texas, see ya!

Original Post September 11th 2009

Today was like any other day, just about, I woke up to Jose calling me and telling me it was time to wake up.

” cause you so hot that i melted….” (alarm going off)

“HA HA”, Jose

“ugh fuckers…im going back to sleep”, Aly

it was 8am my time, meaning that it was only 6am where he was. i told him id get up and get ready for work, but i went back to sleep. i ended up waking up around 855 and calling my mom to tell her i would be coming in late, before 10. at 10am i get a call, “you went back to sleep didnt u?” my mom of course, uuugh ya i had i was tired and then it still took me another hour to finally make it in to work.

i cant say that this hardly happens because id be lying. i am lucky, my husband, not so much.

if im too sleepy from a long night or just out of laziness, i call saying im going to be late to work.
he wakes up to go run.

if im sick or just tired, i call in for the day and stay in bed.
he “takes tylenol and hydrates” but still has to go to work

i get news from a crying friend that shes having relationship problems
he gets news that he will never see a friend again

i whine and bitch about how i need to work out yet dont get around to doing it
he is required to work out

ill never be shipped over to iraq or afghanistan, and most of you wont either
he is being deployed next year, again.

i have people tell me im a life saver bc i made them a copy or put together something they needed 5 mins ago for tomorrow.
he tells me people tell him what he is doing is wrong

i never clean my apt (lol)
he has to clean every thursday

i dont think i could ever join the military
he is proud to be a marine

the list is endless of all the things i can do as i please compared to what he cant. i sit here typing this and complain about how cold it is in here then go out to my car and bitch about why my ac doesnt work and that im hot. he has to suck up whatever comes his way…

and this is what he chose to do.

just because today is sept 11th doesnt mean that only a few days out of the year we should stop and say thank you to the men and women who fight for our country so we can sleep in, call in, sit in air conditioned offices, go drive through when we’re too lazy to cook, and bitch about anything to everything.

jose has always been a friend of mine since we were little and i couldnt be anymore proud of what he has become as a friend and as his wife.

thank you puppy, to you and your brothers who have stood by you and stand by you to give me the freedom to show up late to work, but not before stopping at chick fil a.

you rock!

He rocks

” BUT I NEED MY OWN MONEY!!!!”

Gosh that was one of the worst ideas I had, so for a while I liked it and just like most things, I got bored. I dreaded going to work even if it was just for a couple of hours. “Thank you for calling Papa Johns, This is Alysa, How May IIIIII Help YOU?!” Ugh I was even starting to answer my cellphone like that. So I spent most of my time on my SideKick under the computer texting away.
Then one day I start looking through the observer and seeing that there are “make money from home jobs”. So of course, I want to do these. I’m not so bright, barely 18 and read for lots of money…FAST…FROM HOME!!!
Long story short, I did or tried everything from

1. Mail Envelope Thingy- Uhh… I think I paid like $10 and they mailed me this crap I was supposed to go and leave places and expect people to take one and mail it in?! That is not working from home! So I threw the stuff away.
2. Some “non” Fortune 500 Company- Oh gawd when I think of this one I cant help but laugh because I spent like $400 on this one and I got my own website, and business cards and this and that. Too much work and trying to push people into signing up for stuff etc etc, I dont know I didnt like having to force people to sign up. “Please please please, just do it, common grandma!!!”
3.Faulty WebCam Girl- This one was actually pretty fun, I went into a chatroom and pretended to be one of the girls that actually had a cam and i would just set up my profile with her pictures and info, talk to guys, convince them to pay the $1 sign up fee and once they paid, I’d block them and they would go to the girls webcam. $20 a hit was good, then they had to go and up the price of membership so it wasnt as easy.
4. I just got a normal not at home job. Chili’s, Payless, Bartending at Bennigans. Bartending was fun, Chilis was alright, and payless can kiss my ass.

Now, here I am once again. Crossing my little fingers and wishing with all my heart. “Oh let this work!!!” I’ve fallen victim once again to the online hopes of financial freedom thanks to the internet. The only difference. I’m not quitting my day job, this is now more of a hobby, and I actually am making some money. Its not hundreds or anything like that, but its something. My husband laughs at me and says I’m silly. We’ll see who’s so silly when I expand grow and conquer the internet. Heh heh heh heh heh heeeh (That was for you honey)

So i figured that since my last name at the apartment complex is under Castro and something for a Sandoval was coming that was pretty important that they didnt leave it, so I did what you are supposed to do and put Castro/ Sandoval on the box. Well its already Oct. 5 and still no card.

This morning Brandon’s mom sent me an email telling me she had sent me a card for my birthday and that it too got returned. WAT THE HELL?! This is very fucking annoying, why am i still getting mail from Kuntu Kentay Muahamud, but they cant put simple alysa castro’s mail in the box!

So I called the post office and I was like ” uh mam, i need to talk to some one about  me not getting my mail!” and she was like are they putting the right address? well no shit lady, if they werent id understand but the addresses have been confirimed by both parties and they were correct. Then she says, “well did they put the apt number?” OMG for real?  do you really think i am that stupid not to tell them my apt? or that they would be so dumb as to not put the apt number, so I read it to her “**** Ridge**** Apt ###”  and she goes, ” Well whats the apartment number?” and i was just like omg for real lady? i clearly said apt ###

“oh”

i was way more nicer than i am coming off right now but this is just very irritating. I cant go to the bank on sunday if i need money, i have to go to the bank every time i want to pull out money…I just want my damn mail!

I have to call back tomorrow at 9 so we can “speak with the deliverer about whats been going on”

yes, we better.

and btw, chuck wasnt there when i got back from lunch.

I hear this just about every freaking day. Part of my job is to get the mail and put it in Quattro Pro so we know what came in etc. Well our “accountant” or whatever the hell he is takes any checks to the bank. The thing about it is, he doesnt have to go every fucking day.  I have til 3 to go check on the mail. The mail man isnt here at the same time all the time you know? So by 3 mail is usually waiting for me down stairs. But (well call him Doofy) Doofy over here feels the need to come and tell me the mail man has been here while I was out.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DONT FUCKING CARE!

1. He expects me to keep an eye out for when the mail man gets here. Umm yes, well you see, just because the mail box is down stairs in the general area where my window is DOES NOT mean I can see the damn mail box.

2. If you want the mail so damn bad, why don’t YOU start getting the mail?

3. If and when I do get the mail, dont come up to my desk and start rumming through it unless you are going to log it.

4. SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THE DAMN MAIL MAN!

Ugh. I know this seems like such a little mundane thing, but when its every single freaking day, it gets pretty annoying. I already told him just to buzz me if he sees the mail man, because, no Doofy, I did not see him from my desk. I am not a 7 foot tall girl sitting to where I can see over and out to the mail boxes.

Well, Im about to head out for lunch. Lets see what happens when I come back. *sigh*

Please Tell Me If You Can See the Mail Box From Here

“…anyways, we’ve decided to try an open relationship because of the distance between us. (I’m stationed in California and she stayed back in Texas) but im happy just to have that with her. we kinda broke up out of nowhere in high school, which was my fault. but now its like nothin ever changed. i never realized how much i love this girl. i feel like a kid who just had his first kiss. idk where this relationship is gonna take me, but im sure im gonna enjoy every minute of it! Here’s to our future, wherever it may take us…

– Jose Sandoval  “

those were the words that were poured from my now husbands heart just a few months ago. yes, we are now married, and no i dont have to explain myself as to why only a few short months later we are married, but i actually like telling our story. now, if months from now i’m on here blogging about divorce well silly me! lol but really, i just dont see it happening.

ive come to accept that my life isnt the average life most people live, and im sure in everyone’s opinion, theirs isnt either, but seriously, some of the stuff that i go through and situations im put in are straight out of some writers cruel thoughts and form of enjoyment.  It’s like Chuck Palahniuk says though, “All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.”

Anyway, it had been 5 freaking years, this past August, that I had moved away from Del Rio and let alone seen Jose all of one time during all this, besides the checking his myspace page every now and then, he hardly was ever more than a friendly thought. We had history together, and my first love, you can’t just not ever want to be friends with someone like that you know? Well this whole long/short story is in the My Family page, but I mean we both almost started lives with other people, went our own ways, and a simple invitation to come party in Dallas with me has now turned into us spending the rest of our lives together. Its crazy. It feels right. It just has to be.

So that brings me to now, here I am sitting in Dallas, TX., at work, two hours ahead of him since he’s in California. Does that mean I’m living my life faster or that he’s taking his time? Either way I dont like it. I thought this would be easy since we had already been apart for so long, whats a few more years while he finishes up his contract? Apparently a lot. I miss him so bad its sick in that mushy type of “omg get a room” kind of way. I’m living my life how I normally do, but it doesnt feel right. There’s something missing. My family isn’t whole, it can never be since Little Baby Nachy has to stay with Brandon’s dad, but having everyone in different places just sucks.

I wish he wouldnt have told me I could pack up my bags and leave yesterday if I wanted to be with him already, because God knows every second that passes by I’m half tempted to start packing up my shit and saying peace out to texas.  I already know these next few years are going to be hard. One, if I am going to have to wait out here in Texas alone, and two if we do go to Japan leaving my little babies back here will break my heart, but at least i know they’ll have people who love them. Doesn’t make it easier, but it helps..

So is sitting on the toilet, heeling over with pain, almost in tears totally worth it? YES! Think of all the things I’d be missing out on! Like everything.

Well, on a different note, my mom finally told me she gave away Ginger. Its been a week and she is just now telling me. I’m a little sad, but apparently Gingy (Tea Bag) is in a waaay better place than having my mother as her owner. That makes me le happy.

I guess I’m leaving work, I have so much to blog but so little time. Honeslty too, right now my mind is somewhere else EEPS!!!

Ok Cupid:

This year pretty much has me bummed out though. It seems like only a few months ago I was out shopping for my birthday outfits. Yes plural, there was no way I was just having one outfit! You CRaZY! Well, I was turning the long awaited 2-1.  I had a family dinner and the next day a big party, pin the tail on the donkey included. Everyone had a good time, got drunk, had laughs, you know all the gay stuff.

Since then though, so much stuff has happened in such a short time that this birthday kinda just ran up on me.  I’ve lost some people  in my life since then, some for being bitches, some for being selfish, and others because it was just their time to go. So there’s that issue.

Then the whole wedding thing got me so caught up with things that had to be done I kinda forgot all about my birthday. I knew it was coming bc I would mention it to Jose, but I dont think I really realized just because I wasnt thinking about it, didnt mean it wasn’t coming.

I am not completely sure I know whats happened but it seems like everything has just changed.  My “bestfriend” never even mentioned my birthday plans or ideas for any until I got pissed at her and told her she was being a bad friend planning shroom parties instead of planning my birthday party! Well, she still really hasnt come up with anything besides to go along with whatever I plan for myself.

I was gonna say fuck you birthday and not do anything, but honestly, how could I NOT celebrate myself? So I was like, I’m going to get a party bus! Well I called and got the quote and I was really excited for everything that I’d be doing that night, and then I was like wait a min, I’d have to pay for all of this myself. So I scrapped the plan and decided bottle service at a club would be just as fine. Then I got the quote for that and I asked Puppy if he minded and of course like the sweetheart he is he said it was fine. Then once again it hit me, ” You know what? No, nevermind. Why should I have to drop this amount of money for MY BIRTHDAY for everyone else to have a good time?” The money isnt an issue, money is ment to be spent, but I just know I would be willing to throw down on splitting the cost with other friends for someone else’s birthday, and I know they would not. Well some would I guess, but I just feel like I shouldnt have to ask people to pitch in. Its MY BIRTHDAY! MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!! It should be offered, “Hey Aly, I know your birthday is coming up, what do u want to do? Can I help? Do you need anything?”  But nooooooo!

And of course, Puppeh isn’t here. I am not there either. His birthday is the day after mine and we get to spend them totally and completely without each other. That makes me le sad.

I guess well see how Saturday turns out.
