My Clumsys,Gingers, and Irene's Babies Collections
   
January 01, 2004
Happy 2004! Let's see, we ate the lentils and watched the ball drop and drank champayne. The lentils were like beans. (If I closed my eyes, I could imagine smothering them with cheese and sticking them in a tortilla) We stayed up super late, watching TV, and talking- it was nice to talk about where we'd been in the past year. And it's so nice to recognize how wonderful it feels that Dennis is here this year as he wasn't last year.
And we stayed in bed the whole day. It was wonderful.
But the vacation has to end. The next two days are going to be busy and then school starts up just around the corner. Dennis has his first immigration appointment this saturday, to get his fingerprints on record. It's funny to remember when Jennie was doing the same thing, I feel like I know what to expect. Anyway, did anyone watch the Rose Parade? This is the first year of my life I didn't. :D
Well, I'm hungry and it's 8:35pm so I'm outta here!
December 31, 2003
Happy New Year! This is the first New Year I am spending with my husband, Dennis, and it is pretty interesting. Last year, he left for Chile on New Year's Eve, and so the holiday was pretty depressing for us both. This year is also the first new year I am not spending with my mom and my sister, or my brother. It's the first year I will spend drinking champayne! And Dennis is bringing his Chilean traditions to the New Year:
Chilean New Year Traditions
1. You have to clean the entire house from top to bottom on new year's eve. This is supposed to ring in the new year on a good note, i'm not exactly sure why. but this means that I vaccummed today and cleaned underneath the bed.
2. You must walk around the block carrying a suitcase. (We aren't doing this one, but it's interesting) to bring in travel in the new year.
3. We are eating Lentils tonight. I have never had Lentils in my life and thought we'd find them in the pasta aisle in the market until Dennis explained that they are more bean than pasta. But anyway, we are eating Lentils for prosperity in the new year.
4. We are wearing our new clothes tonight. Dennis doesn't know exactly why we do this, even though we arent going anywhere. it's just tradition.
5. We are drinking a glass of champayne with our gold wedding bands inside. This brings prosperity and stability to our relationship.
and at midnight, we are going to do something I always did with my family: We are going to go outside, yell and scream, and bang pots and pans, and yell "Happy New Year!!". We are at the top of a hill in a canyon and I am hoping that everyone at the bottom of the hill can hear us. Oh, and we are going to watch the ball drop, of course. Even though we are in Los Angeles and the New York Ball drops hours before and is not shown "live" on TV. Because it's tradition.
Here is a cute card I got in the mail from Jessica
Anyway, here's to a better year!
It is 7:53 PM and time for dinner. (pizza, lentils later)So I am outta here!
December 30, 2003
Yes, Santa was very good to Dennis and I. We gave each other clothes- we each shopped at Old Navy and basically gave each other matching fleece sweaters, which I thought adorable. On Christmas day, we stayed quiet instead of going out to be with friends, and then we went to the theater to see "Peter Pan" and "The Last Samurai"- Peter Pan was better as a cartoon and the Last Samurai seemed a bit like a Tom Cruise ego piece (but I still recommend it). We had Christmas dinner at Denny's, the only place open. It's basically a 24 hour truck stop diner. But it was nice and no-stress. And since then we really haven't done much. I've been baking a little. I tried making pretzels last night. They didn't turn out bad but I need to work on it some more. It was my first try using yeast and I think I needed to use a different flour. I updated my Secret Santa page- I found out that my secret santa is Summer a very sweet girl who is new to the community. And I recieved these cards in my email box:
 
And, for those who don't know, I just got an email from Gem that her and Matt are engaged! It is very exciting and it seems about time to me!
Well, it seems the only time I have been blogging is on "Chick Chat" day, but well, that's the way things are lately. Here is this week's 
"I am woman, see me shop"
1. What's your favorite clothing store? I love Old Navy and this store "One" in Santa Monica, that sells really great and comfortable velour outfits for a steal.
2. Favorite grocery store Well, I shop at Ralph's, because it's close and they double the value of coupons. But I have to admit that grocery stores like Trader Joe's have good stuff. (I just can't afford it. And I really don't eat organic anyway.)
3. Favorite store for 'kid's stuff'? Target? I don't really shop for kid's stuff. When we buy stuff for Dennis' little girls, we usually go to Toys r' us and Target. Again, you can find little trinket stuff all over the place in Santa Monica.
4. Favorite 'girlie goods' store? (soaps/lotions/etc.) If I could afford it, I would buy all of my girlie things through Mary Kay because the quality is excellant. But, I usually just go to the drug store. The quality is pretty good considering the price.
5. Favorite 'I can find anything here' store? I LOVE Target because you can buy Laundry Soap and a cute Jacket in the same place.
Well, it's time to log off. I need to shower my hubby with some attention :D It is 4:50 pm in Southern California and I am outta here!
December 23, 2003
I did nothing last night, I was so tired. I don't even "work" at my job, in the school library, really, but doing nothing for 8 hours is exhausting. Note***I am NOT asking for sympathy. Sometimes I feel like my university is a little bubble.
So, back to last night. We made a frozen pizza and watched "Tootsie" in spanish. (actually very fun thing to do!). Oh and we ate out of one of those Chocolate Samplers- the yellow box with all the different chocolates inside? I can't remember the name for some reason. (Whitman's) Anyway, It was on sale at the grocery store and I love chocolate! Oh and Dennis' present to me arrived in the mail last night. (We both shopped online this year.) He was so smug the entire night. We went to the drug store so he could buy a special bag for it and he shut himself up in the guest bedroom to wrap it. He wouldn't even let me hold the package when we were bringing everything in from the car. And he made a huge point of telling me that he put a lot of paper and tape in the bag, because "he knows me"- it is the most adorable thing ever. I love waiting until Christmas morning. I was the only one in my family who didn't peek or look for hiding places that Mom put the presents in.
I joined a new group online, Country Girlfriends Forever that looks like fun. I am always trying to make new friends.
There is another for today:
"I'm turning into my mom!?!"
1. Do you have special guest towels no one can use?"No, but what a good idea! (seriously!)
2. Have you ever said "because I said so!" Yes I have.
3. Do you buy seasonal/holiday potholders?" I have a set from my mom, but we really needed potholders and dishtowels, so I use them year round. But I would like to have some set aside, eventually. My grandma had seasonal potholders and I always thought that was so special.
4. Have you ever referred to body-parts as a "Cookie-or-a Noodle?"Nope Never been tempted to do that one.
5. Do you ever utter the horrible phrase "When I was your age?"Nope, I don't do that either. But I don't have kids so I don't have the opportunity. and I can't say that to Dennis, he's older than me!
Anyway, I am going to add some more adoptions and blog hop a little. I am outta here!

December 22, 2003
Welll, it's monday. pretty strange weekend, i guess. on saturday, we went to the home where my sister stayed after my mother died. The family is really nice but I felt nervous the whole time. We grabbed some of my sister's things to take home- mostly stuff she had that I can use like toiletries and school supplies, but we did grab some important things- my mom's jewelry and some of her perfume bottles. Anyway, on Sunday, we invited a couple who lives next door over for lunch and then we played UNO.We have been meaning to invite them all semester and so it was really nice. We spent the evening with another couple and that was fun too- we played monopoly and watched "Christmas Vacation". Playing Monopoly with my husband comes with a disclaimer, which I gave (and they didn't listen). :) Dennis always wins Monopoly.
Well, I updated my Secret Santa page, and I've already gone bloghopping some. It's nice to catch up with friends now that I have time. My goal for the next week is to finally create the adoption pages on my sister's site I have an adoption for visitors, a gift from Lisa that needs to be put up so people can adopt it, and I also have a wonderful adoption created by Caroline that needs to be available. These two artists have created adoptions in memory of my sister and I really want to share them- the generosity has made me cry-
I want to post the answers for last last weeks
"Manly Mens"
1. Does he leave the Toilet Seat up? Yes. It bothered me at first, because I grew up around women, but I decided to pick my battles. I think it bothers him more to hear me slam the seat back down when its my turn :D
2. Could he use a "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" makeover? Well, first- Dennis would rather were a dress then be madeover by the Queer Eye guys and second- actually, he's really neat. He dresses nicer than I do sometimes.
3.Is he into cuddling? Yes, Dennis cuddles:)
4. Is he the "Sexiest Man Alive"? In my eyes, he is!
5. Boxers or Briefs?Briefs :P
And on that note, i am checking out. It is lunch time and I am hungry. It is 1:20 pm and I am outta here!
I wanted to post some answers to an online group that I found through Jennie's Blog called Chick Chat
"Let's Get Personal"
1. Do you buy colored toilet paper?"Nope. just cheap ol' white
2. What's hubby's nickname for you?"Ratita, chanchita, baby
3. Wine: Red or White:White. It's really the only kind we drink. Although we do have a half of a bottle of red in the pantry.
4. Ben and J-Lo:Will it last?":I doubt it. She's not "wife" material and he obviously has issues with committment or something.
5. Is the Hokey Pokey Really what it's all about?"
: No. It's all about who does the Hokey Pokey that makes it cool. i.e. Elmo :D
December 19, 2003
In honor of my recent cookie baking obsession. . .
 
Anyway, I wanted to say congratulations to Irene for her new baby- she is one of my favorite graphic artists.
Tonight Dennis and I are going to go see "Mona Lisa Smile" with Julia Roberts. I don't really want to see this movie,as I am a little tired of Julia Roberts. But we were invited by some good friends and we need to get out of the house anyway. It will be nice to go somewhere- we are starting to get cabin fever. Going out is much better than staying home, playing UNO, and watching television. My husband loved the chocolate chip cookies and I think a found a reliable recipe that will put him in a good mood. He didn't really like the pumpkin cookies or the biscochitos- I on the other hand, LOVED the pumpkin cookies :D
Well, another day goes by. It is 1:31pm and I am outta here!
I just recieved this cutie in the mail from Lisa and I wanted to show it off:)
Thank you!
Anyway, I just finished putting up the tree (a neighbor dropped one off for us, so we decided to decorate after all.) We couldn't put up all the ornaments that I inherited but we put up some and it does make the apartment feel so homey and christmasy. I made some chocolate chip cookies, for the first time ever, (I know, it's like I live under a rock). They turned out alright, but I feel like they should be sweeter. I also wrote some Christmas cards, to be sent out tomorrow. (late, but better late than never.) I am working tomorrow (which is also payday) so I will try to get them out in the morning :D HO HO HO! It's almost Christmas!!!
December 18, 2003
My cold came back! :(
So I am staying at home, surrounded by kleenex. But I have had some extra time to organize my Secret Santa Page. I have also spent some time looking at recipes for cookies- i'm going to try to make some gingerbread men. Well, just gingerbread, actually, because I don't have cookie cutters. Anyway, I am going to go rest so I will check in tomorrow! It is 1:41pm and I am outta here!
December 16, 2003
My Goodness has it been 6 whole days since I last blogged? Well, I have been very busy doing nothing :D Last night Dennis and I invited a neighbor couple over for dinner and "The Bourne Identity", and that was our excitement for the day! And I got all B's on my report card!
I got this new adoption from Joan's Beary Cozy Cottage that pretty much sums up what's on my christmas wish list :D (*hint hint, santa!!)
 
because my laptop is on the fritz and is as slow as molasses anyway. (i have to remember that i'm lucky enough to own a computer at all, even if it doesn't have microsoft office!)
Anyway, I've had lots of fun reading that chain letter from Miriam, Stacie, and Jessica! :D I hope everyone has a wonderful week!It is 3:47 and I am outta here!
December 10, 2003
Yay! My first whole day of doing nothing was today! I did nothing today so I really don't have anything to write about. I am at work- filling in for someone who couldn't make it- and so I have time to blog hop and stuff. Oh, my brother called. He lives in New Mexico with my Dad now. He told me that he got a tattoo of a shamrock and my sister's name on his arm yesterday, in addition to getting his lip pierced. LOOOOVELY. You can imagine I was thrilled. Ever since mom's death, I've taken over as mother to him and it frustrates me that there really is not a whole lot I can do for him. He's over 18 so if he doesn't want to take his medication, fine. If he wants to get a tattoo, fine. He was thinking of my sister when he got it done, and I understand that his heart is in the right place. I guess it just frustrates me that my dad hasn't been more of a role model- my dad took him to get the tattoo. Oh well. Que sera sera.
The good news: I got this cutie in the mail from Lisa
Thanks so much Lisa!
And this reminds me that I need to start shopping for Christmas cards to send to all my internet buddies!
But right now, while Dennis isn't here, I think I am going to do some online christmas shopping!So, it is 7:53 pm and I am outta here!
December 09, 2003
I haven't posted in some days but I am finished with my finals! and I am feeling a lot better. Up until yesterday I was a stressed out mess of congestion, sore throat, and aches. But I think part of that was just that I hadn't had much chance to get a good night's sleep due to final exams.
So, Dennis and I are going to house-sit for the University minister while he and his family are on vacation. They have a dog, but they are putting it in a kennel, and Dennis is very disappointed. We aren't allowed to have pets in our apartment- not even fish- and so he was looking forward to playing with the dog. Anyway, I still haven't decided about putting up the tree or not. I really don't mind actually putting the tree up, but I don't want to take it all down after Christmas.
Yesterday, someone slashed the tires of my research methods teacher. She is a really tough, intimidating teacher who sometimes says things that hurt feelings (She told me that I "wasn't going to get into grad school with my grades") But to slash her tires? That's a little immature- who has time to do that anyway? We have finals! Anyway, they were retarded and left a note on her windshield. Pepperdine is a small university- there can't be that many students that she upset so much they would actually slash her tires. Yesterday, in class, she was almost in tears accepting our final paper. Hmmmm.
Anyway, I made it through the semester. It is a big accomplishment with all that's happened this semester.
Okay I have to go. Dennis is getting jealous of the computer again :D LOL. It is 6:30 pm and I am outta here!
December 04, 2003
Still sick. Found some cold pills in one of our suitcases last night. Thanks to all the sweet tags from everybody- this morning Dennis said he felt a little congested himself and I wouldn't be surprised if I pass it to him. (which will be great because then I will have the opportunity to pay him back for being so supportive to me in the past months.)
I am mildly stressed out with finals but the good news is that it will all be over by next tuesday. It is seriously crunch time. I have two papers due monday, a final on monday, and two more finals on tuesday. *remind me to take a deep breath.
Well. I recieved some more goodies in my email box, from Jessica who has spoiled me this month!
 
I just learned that we may have to get rid of our car. We are having major engine problems and our mechanic said that it would take over 1500 to fix- our car is a 1988 toyota celica- it isn't worth $1500 to us.
Anyway, I am going to blog hop for a little while. It is 1:24 and I am outta here!
December 03, 2003
I have the flu :(. Yesterday, I spent the entire day in bed sleeping and watching spanish television with Dennis. I went outside only at night to go to the grocery store and to subway for dinner. It's kind of wierd that the grocery store strike is still going on- it's been over a month and the deli or bakery aren't open anymore, and the employees still wear their normal clothes because they regular employees (which have been fired) are still on strike. But the hours are extended and most people probably go to the grocery store and cross picket lines at this point. Anyway, we bought our christmas cards for this year :)
I recieved an adorable christmas card in my email box from Stacie
and I recieved this cute adoption from Jessica
 
Well, I have a mountain of schoolwork so I am going to check out. It is 10:54 am and I am outta here!
December 01, 2003
my pumpkin cookies turned out wonderful!
And thanksgiving weekend ended up being exhausting. On Thanksgiving Day, we went to have dinner at a neighbor's home. One of her guests had spent some time learning linguistics of spanish and so he had a good time talking with Dennis. That night we went to see "Timeline" and "The Missing"- I think both are rentals, and I have heard others say "timeline" sucked- they were both movies you see to escape. The Missing was pretty intense and I do reccommend it- The acting was great in this film. I think it was just nice for Dennis and I to get out of the house. It was a pretty good day overall. But the next three days were jam-packed because Dennis and I signed on to be small group leaders for a youth retreat that took place at Pepperdine over the weekend. The retreat itself, which focused on prayer, was great, but it was just too much stimulus for me. (I found out that a. working with teenagers is not my spiritual gift and b. that I am not ready to "hang out" with a bunch of people that knew my little sister. I went in expecting people to want to talk to me about how much they missed her, etc. and when everyone "avoided" the subject, I was disappointed. (But then, they are teenagers.) So I learned that I need more time to deal with this.
And now it is monday. (yay). I have to go meet my "little sister" this afternoon- our church pairs college students with children to spend time with. Hmmm. Before I forget, I received a bunch of great goodies from everyone- check out my christmas and thanksgiving cards here and I updated my November Blessing buddy page Here
I also wanted to take some time to introduce my December Blessing Buddy, Alicia. She recently suffered with the loss of the baby she was carrying, so please hold her in your prayers!
I'm hungry and I am technically done with work and late for lunch so I am outta here!
I admit it. I love South Park. Never have I laughed harder at cartoon impressions that my husband does than his south park impressions. I know my soul is going to hell for it. (not really) but I love south park.
 
November 26, 2003
Last night I decided to start making cookies. My goal is to bake sugar cookies, pumpkin cookies, and biscochitos. I started with the biscochitos last night. which may not be a good thing. Biscochitos are these little cinnamon cookies with not enough sugar and so when I made them, I made them correctly (If anything, I should have added shortening) but they came out tasting more biscuit than cookie. At first I thought I'd done something wrong- my husband knows more about cooking than I do- but then I remembered that when my mom made them, they tasted like this. I remembered that biscochitos are an adult cookie. Not exactly what I was expecting but atleast I did them correctly. The bad part is that I bought a bottle of brandy to add to the cookies (just 2 tablespoons, not the whole bottle). But i only used TWO TABLESPOONS! What am I going to do WITH A WHOLE BOTTLE OF BRANDY? (and I can remember buying the bottle and Dennis said "why? It's so expensive. We won't use it" and I said "ofcourse we will! I'm making cookies! You'll love them. It'll be worth it." Hmmmmm....
Anyway, tonight I am going to work on the sugar cookies. Actually, maybe the pumpkin cookies (they are my favorite) if I can borrow some allspice from my neighbor. I didn't even own a rolling pin until she came to the rescue yesterday. She is baking her thanksgiving pies right now and so she had to buy one herself. She is making the pie crust from scratch. Home made. I am so jealous.
Tomorrow will be Dennis' first Thanksgiving. I am sure he can't completely relate to the celebration of the Pilgrims and the Indians, until I explain that its more of a family/thanfulness holiday. Thank goodness my husband doesn't watch football.
Anyway, I received this little cutie in my mail from Lisa
I am so tired and very unproductive today. It is 9:39am and I actually have time to blog hop today so I will be out doing that! I am outta here!
I just recieved these goodies from  
November 25, 2003
I have been AWOL and I apologize. I spent the weekend at my Church's ladies retreat and then fell into a subsequent (but unrelated) depression for 2 days. (I sound a little more melodramatic than I really am) I am mentally preparing to put our Christmas decorations up and I have decided to make Christmas cookies this year. I have recieved some wonderful surprises in my email. These goodies are from
 
And these are some cute cards I received from Luciana
     
I feel so spoiled! Anyway, This cutie came in my mailbox from my CB friend, Jessica!
 
So, it is 1:40pm and I have 20 minutes to finish a paper due today for Learning and Behavior Class on Chemotherapy and food aversion (Fun stuff!) so I am outta here!
November 19, 2003
I have found a temporary solution to my geocities storage/bandwith problem. I have moved all of my blog archives, which take a lot of space, and a lot of jpg files in those blog archives, over to a new site-(i didn't even create an index page but the basic address is http://www.oocities.org/eringoblog// and then whichever blog archive.) I saved myself a lot of space. (Thank goodness I have so many emails! geocities only allows one site per email address. I am on my third geocities site!) Anyway, I feel better.
Today I have to work on a timeline for my religion class that is due tomorrow. We are approaching the end of the semester, Thank God!!
Anyway, as usual I am tired. I switched from diet coke to caffeine free diet coke and I think that might be one reason why I'm so grumpy lately.
Well, I don't have much to post about. I have enjoyed reading all those emails with "100 questions about yourself" (who knew that there was no carpet in Spain and that they still sell "Pepsi Max" down under?) It is 9:04 and I am outta here!
November 18, 2003
Okay, my huge paper is now complete. I have another paper due thursday but now I have more time. It's all about time management.
I am at that point where I don't want to do anything except sleep. It is really becoming a problem because I just don't have any energy. I am a borderline flake anyway, and I really hope I get better soon. The semester is almost over!
Last night, my husband was so sweet. He went out with a friend to get a haircut and then dinner. I was super productive working on my paper while he was out and when he came home he had Jack N the Box for me :D It was just nice that he had been thinking of me and brought me dinner as a suprise. I have been so irritable lately and I hope that he knows that I appreciate all of these things.
I am running out of space with the website. That is,ofcourse, why my pages never load. I am thinking about just paying geocities to get more space. I really don't want to change everything and re-upload to another site (I don't have FTP) and I don't want to notify everyone about my change in address really either. Hmmmm. Jessica who just changed to a new server herself, gave me a list of servers that require payment. I just need to figure out how to justify paying for this. Pro--> website is great therapy Con-->it costs a lot of money that we don't have I don't know what I will do, but I just really don't want the huge change and process of moving to a larger server.
Well, it is 3:18pm and I am just killing time until my next class. So, I am going to tinker with the site etc. No studying until tomorrow. I am outta here!
November 17, 2003
I have a hugeHUGE paper due tomorrow so I am stressed out. my weekend went well. yesterday, Dennis and I babysat for two little boys. Their parents go to our church and they needed a sitter in an emergency situation. The littlest slept the entire time and the oldest, who is about 4, watched "Finding Nemo" with us. He was adorable and was very attached to Dennis. I taught him how to say "stop it" in spanish (Basta) and he kept telling Dennis "Basta!" because Dennis was talking during the movie. It was so cute that he snuggled up with Dennis during the movie. (He also taught Dennis the phrase "copy cat" which Dennis did not know before). Dennis said "I want a boy" and I thought the whole afternoon was wonderful practice for children we are not having right now. (It was also wonderful to come home and listen to quiet.) That is the most interesting thing about marriage at this stage- we go "oooh" when we see babies and have to stop and remember that we are not ready to have them ourselves.
Anyway, last night we went to a friend's house for dinner. (spaghetti) and then I came home and slept. I have been very sleepy lately and I don't know why.
Well I have some time so I am going to blog hop. It is 1:23 pm and I am outta here!

I've finished a religion paper due this morning that was a headache to complete! Yay! Anyway, I have to admit that during these past weeks of heavy duty SCHOOL I have been very very grumpy with my poor husband. Even with caffeine, I don't do mornings and I want to publicly apologize for being so grumpy. I am very very sorry for being so grumpy.
Now, unfortunately, I have two more papers due early next week. One will be super easy, due Monday of course, and the other super hard (due tuesday). grrrrrrr. stupid research methods class.
You know, its amazing how boring life is when your car is broken.
Last night a student at my University died from a car crash. It was just like my sister in that he had severe head trauma.
I want to show off another cute clumsy that I received in my mail yesterday from Jessica. I am addicted and this was very cool to receive. I am so addicted it's pathetic.
 
Okay, now I am going to blog hop. It is 1:07pm and I am outta here!
November 12, 2003
Well, I have had a lot of luck with getting my pages to load so woohoo! I have been very busy between hostessing for our guests from Chile (who left on Monday) and school (I have a paper due tomorrow that I have not yet started). I am soooooo tired. And I have basically spent the past two hours working on my site so I really have no excuse because I am definitely not getting time managed. I did want to show off two adorable adoptions I have received from my Country Blessings Buddy, Lisa (everything is linked to its owner)
 
Anyway, It is 9:16 am (Okay maybe only the past hour and a half) and I really should get to studying so I am outta here!
November 08, 2003
Grrrrr. My pages arent loading because "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer" Again, if anyone is reading my blog right now, it is a miracle.
Well, I went ahead and created pages for my clumsys and gingers. Dennis was right, my blog page was getting a little cluttered. Well, if you can, go here for all of my ginger dolls and clumsys.
Wellll, last night we recieved some guests who are visiting from Chile. They are staying the weekend with us and they brought photos and pisco and wine from Chile, and so we are happy. I am especially happy because Dennis is with friends, speaking his own language and feeling home. It makes me happy to see him happy. Right now he is showing them Santa Monica and Hollywood, because I am at work. And later tonight we are supposed to have a dinner party with his friends and some of our friends from Pepperdine's community.
I have two papers due on Thursday and I haven't started either, so really, instead of working on my website, that is what I should be doing. *Sigh*
So, it is 12:46pm and I am going to try to blog hop, assuming my pages load, and work on school work. I am outta here!
November 06, 2003
I am running out of space on my account. (I have to many jpgs on my pages I think). I don't want to look for another server but I cant cut myself off of my addiction to adoptables and I cant delete photos because I don't want to delete any clumsys. ("Delete this or the clumsy gets it!!!") I may move my blog. Would that help? I know it would be a pain for everyone but if I could just find a way to save myself some points.
Anyway, last night was pretty calm- well, Dennis and I were both blue so we just kind of talked for a few hours before going to bed. And then we watched "the family guy" on cartoon network, and then I fell asleep. I had a wierd dream that I was pregnant with twins, and ready to deliver, but I my stomach wasn't big enough and so the doctor was freaking out and trying to make me eat and at the same time we had to watch my diabetes. And then I was dreaming that I was hiding from my family in Buenos Aires, Argentina. And then I was dreaming that Dennis and I were in Buenos Aires getting married. (trying to get married. actually the story line was that we were trying to find a bar. There are bars all over Buenos Aires- this ofcourse does not make any sense.) I overslept and missed my morning shift at work and my first class of new testament religion.
and now, I am tired and studying for a test I have this evening in my Learning and Behavior class. I am at the point where I really don't care what grade I get, as long as I pass. tonight Dennis and I are going to a friend's "jewelry party" kind of like tupperware parties or mary kay parties, but a "jewelry party". I am depressed. Which is very good for spending money and very bad for our wallet :)
So, it is 12:46 pm and I need to try to study so I am outta here!

it always feels like there is nothing to write about I think because I always write so early in the morning. (for me, early) I have been busy, the point is. I have two tests this week and one next week (plus two papers due next week too.) Have I started studying? no not yet.
Last night we had our first guests to our apartment, two girls that I went overseas with, who met Dennis when I met him. We had tacos and Dennis entertained us with jokes in spanish. Dennis loves Gallegos jokes, which make fun of people from Galicia, Spain- He explains that this is the latin american version of dumb blond jokes/aggie jokes/redneck jokes. I just love his "spanish" accent. It's actually very interesting how he, from Chile, can imitate someone from Spain, the way we imitate (try to imitate) people from England.
So after the girls left, Dennis and I started playing this game "Phase 10" that we borrowed from the RA of the apartments. Oh my goodness gracious it was the most fun (we don't have any games in our apartment) Dennis and I are both super competive and so we both yell etc. in agony when we lose and we both enjoy "making the game interesting" I lost. Dennis won. I am still bitter. But I highly reccommend the game. It's a card game that reminded me of gin rummy meets uno.
Before I forget, I have a new buddy for the month of november, Jessica, and I want yall to visit her! Here
Anyway, I am going to blog hop for a while and maybe study, so I am outta here!

Okay, I really am thinking about making my adoptions into organized pages and I can't figure out how. well, i know how. but here is my dilemma: I love all of the adoptions I have recently adopted and so I want to see them! This is why they are filling up my blog page. Oh well. They are here to stay.
Also, does anyone know how to fix the frames in this page so that the page itself is not bigger than the screen so that you (I) don't have to scroll right to read the whole blog entry? I am just learning how to overlap wallpapers and can't figure this one part out.
Well, regarding life, this week is going to be busy and typical of me, I haven't started studying for anything yet. I will start later. Last night, I stayed in and didn't go to church, and just veged all day. At night, Dennis and I went to a friend's house and played "Balderdash", which was very interesting and quite hilarious. You basically make up definitions to words, etc.
Well, it is 8:47 am and maybe I will start to study before my next class. Maybe not. but regardless, I am outta here!

Grrrrrr!!! Geocities keeps shutting down my pages because of "too much data transfer!!" So, if you are reading this blog entry, it is a miracle!!!! Anyway, time for a change a la the blog looks different.
After all that stressing about what to do for halloween, we ended up doing nothing last night. We had to wait for an important phone call from Chile and so we canceled plans and stayed in. It was fun. It rained last night. We had chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I made toll-house cookies with casper the ghost decorations. We watched "Hocus Pocus" (wierd to see Sarah Jessica Parker in anything except "Sex in the City" and we watched "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (The one with Keanu Reeves and Wynonna Ryder.) The latter movie made me realize out loud that keanu really cannot act. he is nice to look at but really, he cannot act. And we enjoyed being at home, just the two of us.
Today, the family that kim lived with, is packing up her things. I understand why they need to do this- their daughter is moving back in and besides, it must be painful to just have my sister's stuff in there. But it kind of sucks. I can't explain it. I just am not ready to pack her up. I'm supposed to call them to explain why I am not going to be there to help them pack up my sister's things, and I can't do it.
Anyway, it is 2pm and again, it is a miracle if you are reading this around the time I wrote it. But I am going to blog hop so I am outta here!
