no more ghetto living.... no more pesky dog barking... no more neighbors burning rubber... no more drunken a**holes ringing our doorbell in the middle of the night...
MORE parking space... MORE closet space... MORE cruising area for my cruising baby.... a back yard with gazebo...MORE roooooom!!!!!
could also be more money out of our pocket every month for mortgage and bills... but so what ? something to call our own... the pros outweigh the cons (what cons?...hep,hep,hep...don't even answer that question...).
anyway, yes, we have a house and expect to move in next month. yikes! our lease on our apartment isn't up until february so i have been assigned the dreaded task of talking our way out of our contract...why moi? don't ask... i don't even know myself....anyway i'm asked my hubby to help me out. (update on the outcome later, wish us luck *fingers crossed*)

not into anime
but i love spring and the description is pretty much me....
You're a Spring. You usually are very close-knit with your friends and value everyone friendship you have. You're a real people person and everyone loves how friendly you are. You're good with encouraging people but usually don't like to be the center of attention. You are a social butterfly and probably are in several circles of friends but it's just because you're well liked and you make people comfortable. You're both fun and wise but you are very realistic about life.
today, my daughter gave me her a bunch of flowers...her first...she got it while she was on her walk with her grandma...amazing how the most cliche things don't seem so when done by the "right" person...
she can be such an angel at times... other times naman hmmm....that's a story for another day...

how was your morning?
i woke up this morning feeling extra groggy so i decided to pass by the drive thru coffee place on my way to work... as i waited in line for my turn at the window, i was jolted out of my half awake self by a very angry mom having a heated discussion with her teenage daughter...
Mom: i have to f***ing work!
Daughter: Why are you angry at me?!?
M: blah, blah, blah i can't because i have to f***ing work!
this happening with their windows open for all to hear and a junior-high looking boy right in the middle of them... by the look on his face, it seems that kind of conversation happens alot...whatever the reason their fight was about i don't think you should be screaming like that... not productive i think....
it got me thinking that i hope i won't turn into psycho mom when my daughter and future sons/daughters push my buttons.... i know that there will be some days i will feel i would be at the end of my rope but i hope i handle it without drama or stooping to a low level...
-------------
on a lighter note: i saw the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on my way home... funny how a silly thing like that puts a smile on my face...

thoughts in my head
i spent the morning with my daughter today... my mother in law (who looks after her) had a doctor's appt...
i looked at her and thought, as much as i love her so much that i like taking little nips at her chubby arms and legs, there are times that i'm glad i don't have the spend the whole day with her. i know this seems harsh but allow me to explain. my daughter is very high maintenance. at this age, she wants 90% of your time on her. give her something to do and she's into it for all of... lemme see... 10 minutes. then she crawls on you and demands your attention. i don't know how my mother in law puts up with that 5 days a week and occasionally on the weekends too... on top of during her daily stuff like laundry and cooking (which i may add, my daughter wants to be part of too)...i'm guessing she enjoys being with her grandchild...especially since they look alike and act alot alike.
anyway, back to what i was thinking about... i'm glad that i have a job that takes me away from being a mom for a while... i guess i'm not the type who is content with being just in the house... i want more... truthfully, i'm not done figuring out exactly what i want be (as i grow up)... but i hope i get there with my family....

newcomer
is this how writer's block feels like? you have a blank canvas in front of you... you feel you have something to say but when faced with the tools to put it in writing all of a sudden you don't know how to start or what to do with it.
i used to write into this notebook when i was in college... the fun, awkward and sometimes embarrassing times i had during my four years as a student. jump 8 years later, i feel myself wanting to record the episodes of mini events in my life now that i am in a new phase...meaning i feel i'm getting old and need to remember all the little things.
so i start this little space of mine. just for me to vent, react, think, and tell stories i don't want to forget.
