Work Out!

Occasionally I attend an aerobics class that takes place by my house. There is a pool area, gym, etc. etc. and today I decided to attend. I usually don't like going because I get bored of the same ol' routine, and sometimes it doesn't even make me break a sweat.

So out of no where I also decided to invite my mom and dad. The couldn't stop yawning and were just sitting in front of TV. The were hesitant at first, I am assuming because they were just fine being in their comfort zone. Eventually they agreed, and before I knew it they were ready to go with their w/o out clothes and shoes. I was impressed!! :) So then as we were walking out the door my dad says "wait, I need a head band, I don't want my hair to get in my face." LMAO !!! My mom and I started busting up laughing, pllllllleasee my dad has no hair, good ol' pops is bald. ;) Just like pops to say something like that!

So once we get there, we start our work out and my dad is just not with it. It was funny and he had a smile on his face the whole time. But he was being such a sport and stuck with it the whole time. And my mom seemed to get the moves, and was looking all smooth, like it wasn't her first time doing it. It was pretty interesting to see them work out. :) The even stuck around for the weight lifting.

They said they liked it, however my mom expressed the fact that she wishes they had dance classes. She loves anything that involves dance. And my dad stated, that he needs to go more often so he get the hang of the moves and be a pro.

Overall it was interesting having my parents work out with me!!!

Music and the memories they bring!

So I think I've been down this road before! But here I go again. I found an old CD case and in it were so many Cd's from back in the day. Among my favorites, were Linkin' Park, Everclear, Blink 182, Tool, Nirvana OMG the list goes on and on. I had to play each and every one while I was cleaning.

I will always be amazed at how music can just transport you to another place and bring back memories both good and bad. I always choose to listen to the ones that bring back the good memories. :) :)

These songs take me back to early 2001-2003 more or less! Those were the days where Jamie and I were in party mode. We both had ended long term relationships, and all that was a blessing in disguise. :) We were free, and were not thinking of being in anything serious with any stinky boy! LOL! Which meant we partied like there was no tomorrow!

And the whole time we were busy partying we spent it listening to rock, and Hip-Hop!!! I remember driving to Hermosa Beach with Jamie. We were headed to a tattoo place where she got her first tattoo and we were blasting Linkin' Park the whole way there. We would sing along to "In the End" by Linkin' Park!! No worries, we were invisible!!! :) Almost every weekend we were in Hollywood at Dublins Night Club. Jajajaja okay I just thought about something, speaking of Linkin' Park . Jamie, some friends, and I went to the Family Values Concert and when we were there we unexpectedly ran into Susie Mancilla and she tried talking to Jamie and I and were both not very fond of her and we completely ignored her. She was so happy to see us there, and we just looked at her, and turned our backs and got lost in the crowd. LOL! OMG I think she got the hint!!! I had to put that out there! Those who know, understand!

We spent endless weekends in Long Beach partying at Jamie's cousins house near the beach. And even spent some time in some of the night clubs in San Diego. The list of things we did are endless. Maaaaaaaaan just good times all around! I will always remember them, and the pictures will never let me forget!

We had so much fun and the music made it all that much better!!!!! :) Good times, good times!!!

I call them parachutes, they call them bras!

I was really dreading my fitting for the bra that would go with my dress. And I say dreading because I have been overly blessed in the boob area, and it's sooooo hard to shop for the right bra. Especially a strapless bra!!!!!!!!!

So I headed out to West Covina to Sheer Pleasures. I have been going there for four years off and on. They have the size I need, and the bras help with good posture and less back pain! I have to add that the kind of bras I have to wear look like parachutes. They look complicated and are not the most attractive or sexy. LOL!

So I show up along with my wedding dress and pretty much two hours later walk out with the right bra. Actually I walked out with two bras. A strapless one for my wedding day and another to add to my collection. I was satisfied with my purchase and I was glad to get that out of the way.

Furthermore I also learned something new about myself. I remember the first time I went there, which was in 2005, I was really self conscious about my body. You know, you have to pretty much be naked, well at least the upper half. The ladies there get to see the "girls" because they have to measure, help with putting on the bra, etc. etc. So this time around I really just let it all hang out. LOL! I realized that the older I get the more I feel comfortable with my body. I still can improve on a lot of things, but hey whatever, I just didn't seem to focus too much on my imperfections this time around. :)

Never say Never!

It's almost as if I've lost the whole notion on how to blog. I don't know where to start, it's almost like it's my first time all over again.

Anyway here I go! Raul and I have finally made our first big purchase, and we are not even married yet! :)

We have purchased a car!!! YIKES! Raul has some connections with car dealers due to the nature of his work. And well they are constantly offering car deals left and right to him. He was concerned and feeling a bit stressed because he did not want me to have no car once I was in Texas. And I agreed too, but I was just hesitant on making a big purchase like that. So after passing up a TL Acura, and a Jetta we decided on another car. And I'm almost embarrassed to say it! I never imagined my self in it. It's a Navy Blue 2006 Toyota Scion..you know the ones that look like shoe boxes. I would see people driving them, and think "what do these people see in this car, I could NEVER see myself in one of those." And well now Raul and I are owners of one! Ahhhhh ;(

BUT I feel better knowing that the car was way within our financial means. The other two cars were not and I didn't want to commit myself to something we actually couldn't afford at the moment. Our payments our extremely low, low APR, and the car was not that expensive at all.

And well the future hubby is now happy because the future wifey now has a car and can get around town on her own. I know I'm being silly but I'm just glad no one really knows me in Texas. That car is just not my style or type of car. SIGH!!! But oh well like Raul and I said, "we have to start somewhere."

The End of our- shoe- box- looking- like- car- story!! :)

For Granted!

I never asked myself the question, "what would I do without a cell phone for over a week?" Or "How would I manage without my car radio?" Well I was without one of them for over a week , and still without the second one. I lost my phone on 2/21. And I just got a new one last weekend. And I must add it feels soooo good to have a phone again.

Not owning a cell phone in today's world is extremely hard! Or is it? Maybe it's just what society has made it to be, or I should say the phone industry. I found my self at one point having to use a pay phone, and that was only because it was an extremely important call. It was so weird to see if I had enough change to make the call. It's been years since I had to use a pay phone, that is just unheard of these days.

Well I honestly felt naked without a phone. Last month my battery went dead because I left my lights on. And ever since then my car stereo does not work. I don't have anything to listen to while I'm driving, and nothing to listen to on my way to work. It's just me and my thoughts! How scarrrryyyy! I just can't seem to get use to it. I don't look forward to my 25 minute drive to work!

On weekends I use my Dad's car, ONLY to have something to listen to. I refuse to have the radio system looked at because in less than 11 weeks I will be getting rid of my good ol' Ford. I know, cheap, but I have other priorities on my list. I get so excited to hear some good beats on the radio, I miss them so much. Just last night, I took my Dad's car to go to the gym and an awesome song from the Beastie Boys was playing on KROQ, ohhhhhhhhh man I was so happy. I always enjoy some good ol' Beastie Boys. :) Don't know where we would be without music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point being we take so many things for granted, it's not even funny.
