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
Happy May!
Wow we are now into May, I am hoping for some really nice weather during May. The last few days have been warm which is really nice, but with that came some humidity which I'm not so crazy about! I have been so busy with my Ebay thing that I haven't posted as often as I was before, so I apologise for that. I hope everyone is having some nice weather come their way as well. I'm sure you all have heard the story about the Missing "Mom" (Tiffany Tehan) I don't know if I would classify her as that anymore. When people thought she'd been abducted, and wasn't, things sure did change around a bit. I watched the Today show this morning, and they interviewed the husband. He is very forgiving, I don't think I would be. She just up and left, abandoned her baby (reminds me of something in my past) and just went with another guy. I mean what mother Continue Reading
Just Out Of It
Today I find myself just staring out the window, rather than getting busy doing my eBay thing. In about 2 hours we (William and myself) are going to his sisters house. As William made a date to babysit their 3 kids, adorable kids at that. Anyway, I'm sure by the time we get home, the will be shattered, those kids take a lot out of him. Mostly the oldest RJ gosh he hangs all over William like a cute little monkey. William misses his niece and nephews, so that is a perfect time to have some time with them, and it gives Jaime and Rob a chance to do stuff alone as a couple. William is very sweet like that. I won't be taking my laptop with me because there is usually distractions, and if I was on my laptop, it may attract the kids attention and I don't want any accidents to occur. I was considering a book, but again distractions, kids playing, Continue Reading
Rain Is Back?
Yeah according to the news this morning, looks like we are going to have rain for the next few days. After that we'll get some more sun. Yeah spring is here, so I don't expect to see a lot of rain, just off and on. Rhode Island had some serious flooding, it affected us a little bit, that on one day the gas man had to turn off the gas to do some work up the road, which took about a day, and the following day we got our gas back. I was worried we would have it off for a good while, I'm glad it was turned back on the following day. So I have been away a lot. I have been steadily working on my eBay selling, I am considering opening an eBay store, just basic stuff, I get more options for selling things. I'm excited about that. I'm also doing a little side thing, retrieving hard drive data for those that don't know how. I'm thrilled about that Continue Reading
