Finally the weekend is here, no real big plans, but you never know what can come up. The weekend should bring some nice weather. The week has been cloudy mostly, so *fingers crossed* for some nice sunny weather. Maybe even get out and mow the lawn, it's getting to be a jungle back there hehe. But want to make sure we don't get drenched while trying to mow hehe. Who am I kidding? I'm not the one that would be mowing but I'm just saying. Yesterday I missed the postman because my laptop is upstairs, it's where I do my work. So naturally I didn't hear him, he couldn't really knock on the door either, as the screen door was locked, and the doorbell decided to take a shit hehe. So they left their little paper, saying they would re-deliver, which I am fine with that. But now that means I need to stay downstairs, so that I can answer the door. Continue Reading

How Was Your Mother’s Day?
My mother's day was all over the place. Not that I literally went everywhere, because it turned out we only went for a drive just to get out of the house, which was really nice by the way. There was a lot of emotions going around on Mother's Day. As some of you may know, my mother passed away close to 10 years ago, so it does kind o suck on Mother's Day, yes I shed a few tears because I miss her so much. She's in a better place, and so am I. I have to admit I wish she could see me now, and be in my life right now to share the happiness I am living. I know she is watching over me, and smiling, so I have that comfort to live with. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day and took the time to at least call your Mother even if things are bad or good, it's one phone call it won't kill you! Same goes for Father's day or someone's birthday, Continue Reading
Happy Cinco de Mayo
Although I am not Mexican, I did grow up around the Mexican culture, it's very similar to my Guatemalan culture. Growing up in California, I was exposed to this celebration yearly. I really enjoyed it, it had always been a very festive holiday. You would see colorful decorations all around, in school, shops, just about everywhere. There was music, dancing, costumes, parades, and a lot of tequila and beer hehe, the same in Los Angeles just on a much larger scale, specifically on Olvera Street in Los Angeles. Olvera Street get's really packed on weekends if Cinco de Mayo falls on a weekend, during the week it's a bit slower as any other major holiday. The food has always been so good. It's one of my favorites! Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all over the United States, outside of the US apart from Mexico, I don't know. I'll leave you with a Continue Reading
