I haven't posted on this particular journal in I don't know how long. I figured it's about time.

The last time I posted Simone was STARTING karate. Now, I don't even know if she goes anymore.

I don't really know where to start. There's just so much. But I will say, I'm gonna be better about posting. Somehow, Someway.

If not on this journal, then the other one.

amazinglady if anyone's interested. That one will never be public. Here....I don't give a fuck.

My child started karate yesterday. Few things amuse me more.

Her instructor is HOT. He is like 4 feet tall but makes up for it in FINE-NESS.

The children had to jump over a pole, do a forward roll, two push-ups, a kick to a little paddle thingy and then kick bully Bob. The instructor was demonstrating and I had a moment.

This man doing 2 push-ups....I think I orgasmed. TWO-Push-Ups. TWO and I had a moment.

I really need to get out more.

I went into Triton last night and got all my transcripts and shit straight. I now owe almost $500 for TWO classes and NO books. Who knew Photoshop and Rhetoric would cost half a tit?

I will be taking classes Tuesdays and Wednesdays. How Fun?!

The Certificate I'm going for does not require English but if I decide mid-whatever that I am changing what I want to do, I want to get my core classes down.

Fun Times.

I am now off to search for books that won't cost the rest of my tit.

Yeah, so I went to my little Spanish class yesterday. Well, my teacher has decided that this class EVERYTHING needs to be in Spanish, including his part where he explains shit. So needless to say I spent last night with smoke coming out of my ears from my brain having to actually THINK.

I guess it isn't the most difficult class I've ever taken but it DOES, however, require me to actually pay attention. No more text messaging and far less eating. Two things that are very important to me. I am really unhappy.

I just had to do a recorded statement for my insurance company from the accident last month.

I feel like I just tattled on some drug dealers. That was TERRIBLY nerve wracking.

What the heck? SHE hit ME. Grrrrr....

The lady was asking me all these questions that I had no clue about. Either I don't pay enough attention while driving or other people pay way TOO MUCH attention.

That was nuts.

I would hate to have her job. It would NOT be fun.

I'm all about the tshirts. But this one is a REQUIREMENT.

I just purchased tickets to see this:



In concert next Friday night.

I've already had to toss out two buckets of drool. I hope they won't mind at the club.

Michael Stuart. Salsa. Hotness.

Yum.

I bought this:

Dress

Pin 1

Pin 2

Pin 3

Pin 4

Pin 5

I also got one that says: Me. Like you only better.

I love me some pins.

There are about 20 more that I'd like to purchase but the bastards are $1.50 each and that shit adds up.

I also got me some socks for 97¢. I'm a sock FREAK. I don't like to wear shoes so socks are all for me!

WEEEEEEEEEE

Gotta love spending money I need for other things.....

My mom called me as I was pulling away from dropping Mo off at her school party.

She had a bad mammogram. They found something on her remaining breast and calcifications on her chest wall.

I am now absolutely terrified.

She has a spot mammogram tomorrow at 7:30 a.m.

I will be having a nervous breakdown until the results are in.

Bear with me.

Ok, like, I, like went to Torrid for the first time today. I fell in LOVE.

I think I REQUIRE these items to continue on living.

Cherry Fan

I don't think I can make it much longer without ALL of these things.

For the first time EVER I went in a store and EVERY SINGLE THING I tried on fit me like it was made specifically for ME.

It was amazing.

I love me some Torrid.

After WAY TOO MUCH back and forth on the phone today, the adjuster came and saw my van. They ARE going to fix it. Apparently, my van is in such good condition that the damage done to it isn't enough to consider it a total loss.

I'm happy and sad about the whole thing. I mean, now I've got this damaged van and the possibility of a new van was kinda nice. But...I'll get my old van back and I'm happy because I don't deal with change very well.

So....I guess we'll see how long it takes to fix it.

Thanks Bec for all the info. I might still need you since J's van is on it's last leg. When you drive X amount of blocks all the electronics go out and magically come back on. It's time for a new one for him too.

:-)

Well, I ended up with 160 pictures (literally) from Puerto Rico. Why not share A FEW of them with The Internets? There are a couple from Memorial Day Weekend. We had a fantastic time and I hope the boys can come out and play with us again soon. I really love having them around. They know how to have good clean fun. It's also great to watch Mauricio with his kids. He really loves them. It's nice to see a man truly in love with his family. I never noticed it before but I certainly see it in him. His girls are really great too. They've grown up so much since they first got here. I'm proud of them. And I had about NOTHING to do with it. ;-)

( An Obscenely Large Amount Of Photos )

I'm now on the search for a comparable van to replace my totalled Venture.

Not an easy task.

Right now I'm wishing there was a rotating shelf full of vehicles for me to choose from. They all need to be the perfect price. Because if not, my head may explode.

Does anyone have a 1997 Chevy Venture with around 73,000 miles on it for sale? The LS one. With a CD Player? Anyone? I'd like for it to be silver. Actually, I'd just prefer none of this ever happened. That's REALLY what I prefer.

ANGER.Frustration.....

I got a call early yesterday from Nick at Loro Auto Works informing me that my van is a "Total Loss".

OH MAN.

They can't fix it. I just can't believe it. You would think I should be more injured. I guess not. That or Chevy makes a very sturdy safe vehicle.

My left arm was bothering me yesterday. I don't know if I slept on it wrong or what but I made an appointment to see the doctor today just in case. Everyone has been bothering me to go so fine I'm going ok?!

I can't believe they totalled it. I just can't believe it. We went looking at vans last night just to see what was out there. I'd like to just find the exact same thing but everyone says I should go for newer since the opportunity is there. I don't want newer. I just want MY van to be ok.

This....blows.
