Lovin' the wiggle...

I had a very low key Christmas.... nothing very major! My husband and I went to Monday Night Football to watch the San Diego Chargers beat the bajeezus out of the Denver Broncos!! With the exception of work making my hubby late we got there and had a great time... I love football! I love stadium games.... the excitement, the beers and drinks, the cheering!! Good times! We spent the evening at my sister's house where we exchanged gifts and tried not to look too awkward ! Family drama is an every year thing! Everyone had a great time... I got some good gifts! I hope you are as excited as I am.

Yes ladies and gentlemen.... in close second to my husband, Mr. Brad Pitt turns 44 today!! Now, I have had a massive crush on this man since I saw him in the 7 th grade, on the big screen in Interview with a Vampire! Awww .... Louis de Pointe du Lac.... How I love you so!! That was back in 1994!!! Now I know he was in several movies before then, but what's a 13 year old gonna do watching Thelma and Louise?? I saw his other movies, such as Kalifornia and Cool World after I developed the most massive crush in the history of my existence!! So let's go back to the beginning. It was 1993 I think (7 th grade) and a group of us... I'm gonna say it was Tonya, Danielle, Valerie, Kim, Elizabeth, Tim, Mando , Isaac, and a few other folk had all planned to see the release of this really creepy vampire movie. Knowing Tom Cruise ( pre -crazy) was going to be in it as well, I was all about it! Plus at the time I had a massive crush on Tim.... he was the JT of my day... so any oppo

So how did I spend my first married Thanksgiving?? With my in-laws. Woo hoo !! Actually, it's tradition to go see them..... we've done it for the past 7 years, but it was exciting to actually do it as an official Palma !! Even though I'm still not legally a Palma ... it's been about 4 months and I need to get all my stuff together to change my name! My mother-in-law suggested I keep it the way it is.... if I was successful with it I wouldn't be against the idea..... but for the sake of tradition I'm looking forward to taking my husbands name!! So we left a little late on Wednesday.... it was still traffic time. We stopped for dinner together at Roda Viva, a little Brazilian Steak house in Temecula to kill some time. The food there was a little disappointing this time... it wasn't as awesome as we were used to... but it was good to hang out in the little mall and spend some quality date time with my hubby! After that we went on an excursion to drop off an e

It's payday, it's Friday, it's a half day.... I'm about to take some much needed holiday-time off next week. I should be ecstatic right?? Wrong.... My bank account has been phised into and my bank accounts are frozen, my mother's car has now officially kicked the bucket, and I can't focus on work enough to get things done!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh !!! Why me???? I must have done something terrible wrong recently to invite all this bad mojo my way. So now I need to work longer just to accomplish what is needed to be accomplished. My mother has my vehicle at the moment so I will require rides everywhere, and I have to spend hours at the banks trying to get my accounts and money back!!! this bites.

The funkies are best described as my very own personal blues... Like I said earlier I live a pretty sweet life. Great love, great family, great friends.... but I start to focus on all the imperfections I see in me. Why? I have no idea. They're so common my husband can now recognize them when they happen. It's pretty normal for me once every few months.... they last a few days, and then I'm done. Sometimes I'll pop in some real sad songs just for good measure... I'm feeling "Don't Explain" by Billie Holiday... yup, it's a good one. Maybe I could use more exercise ? *sigh.

So I haven't trained myself to write on my page daily.... as a matter of fact, there are few things that I can't actually remember to do on a daily! Probably why I'm really terrible at birth control..... oh I go off on tangents from time to time as well. I went to Taco Tuesday at Fred's Mexican Cafe in old town last night with some buddies last. The ever so awesome Britta, her buddy Amy, Victor, a friend of mine Manny, and his friend all joined us! (My husband is not a Taco Tuesday kinda guy.... at least my kind... he'd rather be mellow than as loud and rowdy as I can be.... go figure). So we arrive, eat, drink, and were very merry by the night's end. From how nice it was to actually have the manager be so attentive, because he knows Victor and friends, to the silly conversations we always end up having.... it's never a dull day in our crowd!!! Rock on!

As my very first writing entry, I would like to give you a little background on me, I'd like to think I'm your average girl... or at least I try to be. I am Latin-American born in Los Angeles and raised in sunny San Diego. My parents are both Salvadorian... although I have never actually been there I'm actually very proud to be Central American! I think I have a fairly large family however after my parents divorced when I was young... we didn't really do many family things after that. So I grew up with limited family in my life.... it consited of mostly myself, my mother, and my sister. I am really grateful for that, becuase the three of us have this crazy love/hate bond that at this point I feel is unbreakable, I feel a little unfortunate that we never grew up with many cousins and family friends in our life.... but I feel like the three of us hit the ground running to succeed. Although the bulk of the struggling came from my fabulous mother... I don't know how she
