Feeling Silly
Hearing the melodious sounds of the washing machine making more work for me

okay, maybe not.

So, what am I doing.....where am I going.....

and the answer is.........

I have no idea.

I think I'm going to wait and see if the Blogger transfer is a complete bomb, and if it is, then I'll check out Wordpress.  (and i have a MySpace, so there's that....)

At any rate, I'll have a blog somewhere eventually because if I didn't, I would just end up talking to myself and most people frown on that, especially in public.

My email is always open though, so if anybody misses a little 'Amy lovin' then hey......

Feeling Confused

            

I tend to not talk much about my feelings.  Most of you that have been around for a while know this.  It doesn't help me to 'get it out' and more often than not, it will create some sort of drama, so I just don't bother..... but lately, I have just been feeling tense and indifferent.

(cue the Texas homeschooling mother jokes)

I've been sleeping well since the last entry, so that Xs that out, and my eating habits are fine, so....

Eh.

I'm a ray of sunshine, aren't I?

Why am I awake?

No, really....why in the name of Everything Holy am I awake?!

GYAHHHHHHHH

I fell asleep at 3:30 AM. 

I woke up at 5:30 AM.

and I was awake!

What the......

I saw the sun rise, the birds come in for breakfast, and what the cats do when they think I'm sleeping.

Just not right, I tell you.

Of course, when everybody else ambles up out of bed around here, I'm sure I'll be headed back to bed.  I hope I'm headed back to bed.

On the up side, the temperatures are much more agreeable at 6 AM than they are at 2:00 PM.  (not that I'm going to get up every day at 6:00 AM just for that.....I'm just saying.....)

Feeling Thoughtful

It seems like lately, I am so busy, I don't know what day it is.

(Lucky for me, most of my neighbors take out their garbage the night before or I would miss it because I didn't know what day it was.)

I've been driving here, going there, doing this, doing that...

That's about as specific as I can get because my memory is shot because I'm so freaking tired.

Anyway, all of this rambling is just prolonging the real intent of this entry.

2 month baby pictures of Arazely.

Are you ready?

Are you sure?

Ads.  How they make me giggle.

Today's ad of choice?  Here it is:

From Nordstroms....

Unfortunately, they do not mention where the rest of your fat will get dispersed. 

(NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO...........not the dreaed 'muffin top'!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

moving right along, I have been crazy busy.  or 'crazy' AND 'busy'.  Either or.

Valencia, my curly headed Lovely One, has moved on to daycare.  I am very sad about this and the daycare is on my list.  THAT list.  mmhmm.  I'll leave it there.  BUT.....Diana was getting back home late after picking her up in the evening and it was getting tiring for her......so she went to day care.  Of course, I'll still be available in case the day care goes bankrupt and closes overnight.  ::Amy walks away whistling::

To fill the huge empty void, there is my amazingly gorgeous, oh-so-adorable, hilariously funny niece, Arazely.  (It's pronounced 'ARE - UH - SELL - EE')  I've been getting to see her alot now.....and though I have to share her with Ryan (WHO IS A BABY HOG) I am having fun.  She's almost 2 months now and is laughing and smiling and 'talking' back.  I got to give her a bath last night.  She laughed through the whole thing.  I don't know what was funny, but as long as she's happy, I'm happy.

Also, she likes to walk.  Rather, she like YOU to get up and walk while carrying her.  Here's how her stream of consciousness goes "I'm mad I'm mad I'm mad get up get up get up I'm going to screammmm thank youuuuuu"

Then she smiles after you get up.  'cause she rules the house and she knows it.

Please note what I was searching for as opposed to what they gave me.

 

Well, of course.  I don't know why I didn't search for that in the first place!

Feeling Cheerful

As I sat here, this morning, sipping my coffee and contemplating what kind of cookies I should bake today (thank you and your evil chocolate cookies, Marie!  LOL).......I decided to check my MySpace as well......you know....get the messages and whatnot out of the way.

When I was finished with it, I went to click to sign out.

Instead of getting the 'Thank you for signing out' business, I got this:

Um.

Yeah, thanks for that.

but wait a minute........

I don't really know that many overweight Chinese women.  Do you?

Hmm....I think that ad is a bunch of malarkey.

Back to what kind of cookies I'm making.

Some of y'all wanted to know what tattoo sleeves are.  Well, in general, getting a 'sleeve' is known as having your whole arm tattoed....thereby looking like a sleeve.  However, my kid has the pain tolerance of a neurotic ferret, so that wouldn't really be an option for him.......but he LOVES the look (much like his momma).  Sooo......my mom got him these 'sleeves' that are much like a pair of nylon pantyhose....only for your arms....with tattoo designs on them.

Here's a link so you all can take a peek....Tattoo Sleeves - Slip on Body Art <----- Now, my mom said she got them at WalMart for about $3.00 each (in the toy section, of all places)...

........and here's a pic of Alex wearing the sleeves.... (sorry about the crappy picture quality.  Jesse is still deciding where to buy the camera I want.  ::pause::  Gyahhhhh just buy the damn camera!!!!!)

.......and moving along to something else I was asked......

Rosemary wanted to know what was up with the chile I was talking about.

Now, this isn't chili like chili on top of your hot dog.  I'm talking about chile.  (The pronounciation difference is 'chilly' and 'cheeelay') Chile to us - and I say 'us' because I'm an honorary Mexican - is something hot..usually a salsa, but it could also be those red pepper flakes like people put on their pizza.

Anyway....whenever my MIL comes into town, as soon as she gets settled at the house, she says "Tiene chile, mija?" (translation:  Do you have chile, honey?)  I almost always say no, because she will make a batch of it, and she is an amazing cook.  It's not that hard to make it myself, but she makes it better, so she just makes a big batch to last us a month til she comes back to visit (which is once a month).

Usually, she uses chile serrano, which is a smaller green chile that looks like a skinny smaller version of a jalapeno, but is alot hotter.  What with the produce recalls going on, serranos are hard to find, so I've just been buying jalapenos.  I keep tomatoes, chile, onion, limes, and cilantro in the fridge at all times.  Never know when one might have a craving for salsa or pico de gallo (which is a 'salad' of sorts with chopped tomato, onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime....)

Am I ever getting to the story here?  LOL  GETTING TO THE POINT.... I said no, I didn't have any chile, so she started to make some.  By boiling a tomato, 3 jalapeno peppers, and a little onion.  Normally, jalapeno peppers don't produce that much heat.  Normally.  But these?  Mary, Mother of Everything Holy....as it was boiling, the heat started to make my eyes water.  Then I started to sneeze.  Then I started to cough.

(hold on.  this is a long entry and I'm going to hit Save and then go back and finish the story.  It would suck if I lost all this typing)

Okay...... so by then, everybody was hacking.  My MIL started giggling like a maniac and took the pot of boiling evil outside to air out the house.

After the air became safe to breathe again, she brought it back in to finish.  She put it in the blender and added whatever she adds to make it fabulous......and then she says 'Taste it....is it okay?' That's what we always do.  She makes it, I taste it, I tell her how amazingly awesome it is.  This time, I grabbed a chip, leaned over the blender to dip it in there, and was assaulted by the BURN.  I couldn't even smell it, let alone taste it.  I'm thinking "What the crap?  From a jalapeno?  Jalapenos are for punks!" but.....yeah.....it was hot.  It made me cry.

Usually, I eat alot of it on my tacos, but this time?  Not so much.  However, I still ate it.  'cause it's just.  that.  good.
