Day Before New Years Eve...

Well it is the day before New Years Eve and me and Reg have been chillin all day. Tonight we are going to Paul & Ellas for Hanaukaa (sp?) celebration. Can you tell my family is quite blended! We all love each other though so its all good!

Yesterday I was able to get a lot of scrapping done which was very cool. Me, Holly, and Jennifer had a good time. We scrapped and ate. Holly fixed the Brocolli Chicken Ring and I made Cheese Fondu Dip, and I brought over some of my moms famouse pound cake that she made whoch was just sitting at home, cause me and Reg had an entire cake!

Well gotta do some last minute errands before heading to San Dimas. Hopefully the traffic isn't bad.

Ciao

Hoping today is a productive day...

Today me, Holly and Jennifer plan on scrapping at Hollys. I am so behind it is not even funny even more! I am still working on my vacation album in which we went on vacation in July! (Stop shaking your head!)..Anyway, I am hoping to get that going. The bad part is I am missing some vital things, like refill pages! I need some more natural 12 x 12 refills as I forgot I was doing my vacation book in natural pages! Dugh...its been that long I forgot what color pages I needed! HA! Anyway....lets keep my fingers crossed that I get much accomplished!

Workin' only 2 days this week!

Woo Hoo!!! This is reallynice! Well its nt that bad this week being that we only work 2 days this week. Alot of people took these two days off which I don't blame them, that is a nice amount of time off. Well at least there isn't too much traffic in the office today, its so quiet its almost frightening. I am looking forward to my next 5 days off, I hope to be pretty productive!
Ciao!

Christmas

Everything was great. Christmas Eve, we were all at my aunts house in LaPuente, where we had dinner with family and friends. Mr. Santa was supposed to be knocking at the door as a surprise for all the kids as we had gifts for them to open (Pj's). We got a crackhead Santa! Why was Santa a whole our late!!?? And....didn't have a cell phone to call!! He stopped twice, I guess at a gas station for more directions! Santa was so skinny, one of the kids asked if hewas on a low carb diet...and that he hadn't been eating his cookies! HAHAA!!!Anyway, got home about 10:30ish pm, I was determinded to get some food started that night so I wouldn't have too much to do the next day. Didn't get in bed until 3:30am! I was able to sleep in until about 10:30 so that was good. Me and my husband opened our gifts and he was so shocked with his Nano Ipod!Family started to come by about 3pm and ate dinner and opened more gifts! Everyone said that our tree had a gift explosion! There were gifts everywhere!

We had a great time! Everyone left about 10pm and we cleaned up because I rather clean now than have to do itthe next day...in the process of washng dishes...my nana's punchbowl (HEAVY GLASS) busted in my poor little hands....YIKES. I still need to break that to her. She will forgive me....=)There is nothing better than spending holidays with the ones you love!Trisha
Happy Holidays!

Very Nice Day

Today at work we had a nice little luncheon between my office and our Redlands office. We had a secret Santa and we all exchanged our gifts it was really cool. We had a nice array of food. We had: spaghetti casserole, Juan Pollo Chicken and their rice, homade lasagna, stuffed mushrooms, french bread, 3 pies, fresh baked cookies and brownies, and I think that was it!
Early this morning my office exchanged our gifts and passed out Christmas cards, it was cool. My boss is pretty nice I must say. She got me a nice gift certificate to Glen Ivy!!!!! WoooHooo!!!
She knows I really needed!!! Everyone got really nice gifts. She got Sylvia a nice jean jacket with fur on the collar and Jose got some really nice tools! He seemed like a kid on Christmas day, opening and playing with his tools! Fred and Julian got nice Dicky Coats.
I am still full....do I have to work right now?
I will post some pics later.

Still feeling like HELL!

Lord, please make me feel beter, like any day now. I have a big Christmas dinner to host and I am just coughing everywhere and on everybody. I almost feel like I am developing asthma! Am I jumping the gun? Do I go to Kaiser and wait forever to be seen? You know everyone snd heir mama is going to be in the same waiting room coughing will want to be seen for the same thing. What the heck?

Trying to get over this nasty flu!

Whoever passed this on to me, may you rot to eternity! I am sick now I got my husband sick! I even missed my company Christmas Party! What a bummer...oh well. The flu just came over me all the sudden...body was achng from head to toe, I was freezing but had a fever, I swear I had the shakes...I was completely out of it. I need to really get better as I am hosting Christmas this year! Wish me well!

Meet Bubbles Everybody!

I saw this dog at the Alzheimers walk at CSUSB and I thought he was so darling! Many people brought their pets and this one here just took the cake! How cute is he!? Just chillin like a villan!

Me and My Dad

Exactly one week away!

Why is Christmas one week away!? Why have I only wrapped 2 gifts and there are many more to go?! Maybe its because I have been attacked with this awful monster called the FLU!!! AARRGGHH....!!! I am hoping I feel better by next week as I am the host for Christmas. I think it is time to get crackin on the gifts. I still need to go grocery shopping for Christmas dinner...hopefully I find some good batches of greens! Don't want any picked over ones.

Long Time no See!

Okay I am back. I finally got my DSL working again. After DSL there is no other comparison! My pc was running as if it were on dial up and it was really getting on my nerves, so I just didn't do much onthe pc until it was fixed. After everything, we figured out it had to do with some filter that my husband put on after changing rooms around! I am just glad it is fixed!

Nalla & Chiquita

This is a picture of my dog Nalla and her friend Chiquita. Chiquita unfortunately is no longer with us but she use to live next door. Chiquita use to sneak through our iron gate so she cancoe play with Nalla. For the longest we wondered how she was getting inthe back yard, but we finally caught her in action slipping through the iron gates. A dog that small can get through anything! Anyway, they were really good friends as you can see. So cute! we miss you Chiquita! 

So FRUSTRATED!!!!

Why have I been sleeping on the floor for 2 days???? I have had the most horrible experience with Living Spaces. Not sure I can exactly blame them but maybe just the manufacturer. Me and my husband bought new bedrrom furniture including a Cal King. Why did the bed come with some pieces for a queen size bed? After our 3rd trip to the store we then figured that our mattress is still not fitting because there were more queen size pieces!!!! It is 4:52 2 days later after taking my bed down and still no bed..very disappointed! I just want what I paid for! PLEASE!
AARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

October 1st

Geez, it is October 1st already and why does it still feel like the middle of freakin July!!! It is so hot, still in the 100's. The weather can change so drastically, its like "Wait a minute! I was enjoying the cool 80 degree weather we had about 2 weeks ago." I am really waiting for winter to come. Like I mentioned before I love bundling up especially with my boo! But cooling down is another dilema! Especially if you live anywhere in the Inland Empire! I swear I saw Satan at 7-11 getting a slurpy!!!

HHHHHAAAAACCHOOOO!!!!!

Am I the only one experiencing allergy attacks. I was woke up this morning by the howl of the wind and debris being flung around outside in the back yard. I could only imagine the allergy attacks I would be having when I went outside the house today for work. Fall is definately among us! The leaves are falling and it's windy! My street is lined with beautiful trees but recently the city finally trimmed them up real nice, which is good cause those trees needed it. As I was driving to work, I see all the stuff just flying around kicked up by the high winds. But you know the result of highwinds is a beautiful outcome. If you know anything about Southern Cali, the smog can kill someone alone! After the winds, it is all blown away. You can see the moutains even clearer and it looks beautiful. It is supposed to be about 80 degrees today which is nice. Happy Fall everyone!

Jones & Smith

This is me and my scrappin buddy Holly. This is what happens when God works his magic. If I never was a scrapbooking consultant me and Holly would have never gotten as close as we are, it's almost scary! We are co-workers, but never would have thought we had this huge thing in common. We have so much more in common it is scary. Like...we are the only children, both our maidenn name were Barnett, then we go and mary both generic names: Smith and Jones! People think we make up our names! Inthis picture myself, her mom and some of our closest scrapbooking friends decided to give Holly a surprise birthday at our local scrapbook store called Among Friends. She was surprised even shed a couple tears! Did she think we forgot? WRONG! We were supposed to scrap later that evening, but got caught up feeding our faces and eating delicious cake and ice cream!
Love ya girl!

Weird Weather

Living in California you just never know. Considering what has been going on in other states I really shouldn't complain. I guess sometimes the weather in Southern Cali you aren't supposed to understand! It was hot today and then had the nerve to start raining around 5ish? What? I can't wait for winter to come. I am really not too much of a hot weather person. I rather be in cold weather and be able to warm up with blankets and clothes instead of trying to take clothes off sweating in the process! Which do you prefer? Summer or Winter?

My husband insisted on wearing this hat all day when we were at Disneyland! I finally had enough!!! =) 

Desperate Housewives BACK!!

Am I the only one who is just hooked on DHW. The familes of Wisteria Lane have me on the edge of my seat! Toinght is the night. I have been waiting all summer..I can't wait.

Still alot to learn...

I think my butt is numb...
How many hours have I spent sitting at this pc trying to figure out how to navigate and operate this blog? I have seen some pretty interesting blogs and hopefully I will achieve that! Anyway, I think I really need a break here.

Me and my hubby... 

Peaceful & Serene

So peaceful and serene. This is a picture of the calm Carribean in July, before all the storms. We were on our way back to Florida after a 7 day cruise. It was beautiful.

Still trying to figure this thing out!

I am still testing! Trying to figure this thing out how to post pictures and add more fun stuff, bare with me!

This is me! 

My summer could had been better....

June 7th my mom was admitted ot the hospital and has been there ever since. There has been complication after complication. I am the only child so geez, its so hard dealing with the emotions that I have because I am so close to my mom. About 90% of her stay she has been bedridden, with a trach meaning unable to really speak to me. She was able to come home last Thursday, but then rushed back early Tuesday morning due to swelling in her extremeties (blood clots in her legs). So I figure anyone who reads this post if you can please send up a special shout out above and pray for my mom for a steady recovery. I love her and don't know what I would do without her.

Why is MOTHER NATURE so mad at us???

Is our world coming to an end right before our very eyes? I cannot stop thinking about these poor people who are having to run from these angry bitches Katrina and her friend Rita! Who do they think they are? I mean come one? What is the deal? Is our government going to respons as slowly again as they did to Katrina? Are they acting on the prewarning signs? I sure hope so! Lets please continue to pray for these civillians lives as they have to deal with the torment of Mother Nature herself.

OH MY GOSH!!! 3 MORE DAYS TILL DHW!!!

Okay for those of you who don't know.....DWH stands for Desperate HouseWives!!! I am so excited that the new season will be starting. I am glad Felicity won the award, becuase I think she gets a little less attentionthen some of the other ladies. Good for her!
Any thoughts or input on what the new season will be like? I would like to know whats up with the new family on the block! INTERESTING!!!! I can't wait!

Test 1,2 1,2

This is only a test...
I had to see what was the big deal with all this Blog stuff! It sounded like a monster or a big nasty booger, hell I didn't know! So I had to figure it out and try one for myself to see what the big hoopla was about Blogging! Again, this is only a test...I have to see what this is all about and if I like, I will stay! If not, I'm out!
