Eesh, I've been really bad about posting!

Ok, so I'm hoping to be back on track with the posting, I took a little break because things were busy, busy last week.

The book club had a great meeting on Thursday night. Good discussion, good food, and good company. I'm ready to tear into the next book!

Friday... Let's see, what the heck did we do?! Oh yes, during the day my job threw me a really nice baby shower. Carmen Jules got so much stuff! It was very nice and thoughtful, I had a really nice time. After work we met Cindy, Christie, and Lisa at Big Shucks for an early dinner, it was SO delish! Love the shrimp cocktail! After that Ruben had an appt. and I headed to ladies bunko, I had to leave early though :( I wonder which gal won this time?!

Saturday we slept in a little and Ruben was off to another appointment. I hung around and did house stuff. Once Ruben was back we had a great afternoon/evening of errands. Got lots done to the nursery, it is looking so nice! We were up late again, we watched a DVD and hit the sack around 2ish.

Sunday we actually made it to Mass! We talked to the priest about baptizing our little one. (I really like Fr. Josef, he worked with me at the Diocese until just recently when he was assigned to St. Patrick's parish.) We did the grocery store run, another trip to babies r us and then went to visit some familia. Good times :)

Flamin' Hots!

Tuesday just came and went like nothin'! Got home from work and made shrimp scampi and salad, it was goooood. Ruben worked for awhile doing the usual evening calls, and then we went to run a couple of errands. We headed to Home Depot and then to our home away from home, Target! We exchanged Baby Beans' stroller and picked up a few other items. For some reason I have been seriously craving hot cheetos, I don't know what it is. I had been thinking about them since the weekend. On my way home I munched on my chips, dang they were good. And just to share, fyi, baked cheetos taste exactly like the regular cheetos :)

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Monday's...

Back to another work week! Work was the usual, yadee-yadee. After I got home I started dinner early. Ruben was home earlier than usual so he worked for awhile making his calls and then we took a break to eat sloppy joe's. (made with ground turkey, yum!) Later, Ruben ventured out to the backyard to pull some weeds, it was looking pretty bad! The rest of the evening I folded a ton of baby clothes and baby blankets and got all of that put away. After cleaning up a bit I hit they hay early. A non-eventful Monday but a great day nonetheless!

Shower time!!!!

On Sunday my wonderful famliy threw me a baby shower. My sister-in-law, Krystal, works for the Fairmont hotel and we had the shower there in one of the suites. I had such a great time, it was so nice to see a few people I hadn't seen in awhile! My sil's did a fabulous job, the decorations, food and games were awesome. Carmen Jules got so much stuff! When we got home and unloaded all the gifts I went through everything and got busy organizing!

Later in the evening Ruben and I were off to our DLD meeting (dallas latino democrats) and then we had dinner. We got home and did more organizing of the baby's room, and then it was off to bed!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Saturday I woke up bright and EARLY to meet my sister-in-laws for breakfast. I had told them I wanted to do something to thank them for all their hard work on the planning of my baby shower. We went to Cafe Brazil and gabbed it up! I then went with Ana (one of my sil's) to do an errand. Ruben and I didn't get to go to the parade, darn it! It looked like so much fun! In the afternoon my Mom, nephew, my Aunt Evelyn and her friend John, came to visit. We went to lunch and hung out for awhile. After they left, Ruben worked from home for a bit and I helped him get his mounds of paperwork organized, there is still lots to do with that! AH! Later we ran errands and then went to walk around Northpark for awhile where we had dinner. We headed over to Bertha's (one of ruben's sisters) to get his haircut and hung out. We ended up getting home around midnight. Tired again!!

TGIF!

I'm playing catch up with my posts! Friday was a great day, I took a personal day off work and did things around the house. For dinner, Cindy, Ruben and I went to Sushi Zushi for dinner. The restaurant was so nice and the food was great. We headed home and later a couple of Ruben's sisters came over to hang out. We were up pretty late, by the time we went to bed my head hit the pillow and I slept SO good!

Thursday stuff...

Lovely, lovely Thursday. Today was very nice, got lots of work done at the office and had a fabulous Wendy's lunch with Cindy. I'm diggin' the grilled chicken sandwich and baked potato with sour cream. A diet coke tops it off deliciously :)

Heather was a great hostess tonight! Jen, Kel and I spent a few hours gabbing it up at her house. It was very relaxing!

Preggo needs a nap!

Happy hump day! This week has been going great, but dang, I'm tired!

Work was good today, I have been keeping busy, busy. On top of my daily work stuff I have been doing a lot of spring cleaning around my desk, filing paperwork that I've been needing to get to, and pretty much just getting ready to leave everything at work with a clean slate!

In the early evening I headed out to the Serenity Nail Salon, ahhhhh. It was so nice. Fabi and Maria got pedicures while I had my nails done. After we were done there, the girls were so sweet and came with me to Motherhood Maternity, or the "preggo store" as I like to call it. I was looking for some maternity dresses, they had some really cute stuff!! We ended the night with dinner at the Corner Bakery. Delish!

Tuesday happenings...

I want to give a big THANK YOU to Kevin. He so graciously came to my rescue this morning! My car needed a jump, darn battery! Since I just got that battery 2 years ago, the repair shop agreed to replace it, whoooo! Also, thanks to Chris Friday for not charging a labor fee, yesssss :)

This evening Cindy, Maria and I had a yummy pizza and salad dinner here at my casa and waited for the rain to pass. Then it was off to David's Bridal! Cindy has been dreading this trip for quite some time, she is going to be in a wedding this summer and she isn't too thrilled about the dress she has to wear. Maria and I went along for moral support and I must say we were quite entertained! The dress wasn't so bad. Don't worry, the dress is actually a platinum color, she had to try on whatever color they had in her size!

Monday, again?!

The start of another week, today just flew by! Due to the lovely time change, it was still dark outside when we got up this morning, I think I really did miss that hour of sleep! Spring forward came early this year!

Thanks to a marathon meeting today at work, by the time I grabbed lunch it was 230. Before I knew it, it was time to call it a day. Ruben and I are now enjoying a nice evening, I made an excellent salad (if I do say so myself!) and baked turkey breast, yummo. Kramer is also getting his B-A-T-H right now, somehow he always knows when it's bath time. Kramer dreads baths and runs and hides, poor thing! It's pretty funny though, it's been a couple of weeks since his last one so he was due!

And last, but certainly not least, I want to wish The Belanger's a Very Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary! Time flies! I will never forget all the fun we had at their wedding, GOOD TIMES!! Here's to the lovely couple, we love you guys!

Happy Birthday, Vince!

Happy Birthday to my nephew, Vincent Vu! He turned the big 5 today. My sister and brother-in-law threw him an awesome birthday party at their house is Ft. Worth. I was SO glad it didn't rain! After his birthday it was off to work for Ruben, and off to the grocery store for me. Once Ruben was back home we had a great Sunday dinner together. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Happy Dirty 30, Selena!

Today was a great Saturday. As usual we kept busy. Ruben went out this morning to work for awhile and I spent the first part of the day cleaning and doing laundry. Later in the evening we headed to Chaucers for our friend, Selena's, 30th Birthday Dinner! She was so surprised, we had a great time with everyone. Later we headed out to do some errands and finally settled in for the night and watched a couple of movies.
