Next month

So my momma has been gracious enough to spring for tickets for Jameson, Dave and I to go to Texas next month for Turkey Day. We're there for a week! I am so excited!
I havent seen my mom since last December. We talk to her everyday 2-3 times a day. Jameson loves his "yaya". He talks to her about his day, what he had for lunch or dinner, where he went that day, what book he is reading. He loves "Yaya phone" time. He has his own fake cell phone that he pushes button to and "calls" her. He sits there and talks and babbles on about lions and cows and dinosaurs and his favorite thing in the whole world is to play the game "What does ____ say?"

Jameson: Yaya, what does cow say?

Yaya: I don't know baby, what?

Jameson: *throws his head back for full effect* Me-ewww! (Not Moo but me-eww.)

And by God he loves his uncle. My brother is one of those guys who wouldnt dare say he likes kids or wants kids but he is great with kids. He loves to play with Jameson. And he spoils him like crazy. Anywhere he goes, he gets him trains or animals or anything he thinks Jameson will love. Truth is you could give Jameson a cardboard box and he would think it's the best toy in the world.
I am sure we will see my extended family. My mom has 11 brothers and sisters. Yup. She was 5th oldest i believe. I really don't remember how many cousins I have. Around 50 first cousins i think. And wayyyy too many second cousins to count. I am probably related to most of Mexico, let's put it that way.
So i am sure we will have a huge Thanksgiving spread that will rival most hotels. Probably a couple of turkeys, ham, tamales, tons of pies, more salads you could ever dream of. Everyone usually brings stuff. Once i think we had a goat for Thanksgiving brought to us.
Then we usually all watch football. My uncles get drunk and get loud. The kids play in the spare rooms or if its nice (and it's South Texas so it will be 85 probably that day) they play outside in the backyard. The ladies sit around the table and slowly eat 5 kinds of pies. Then gossip as they clean up.
My family has it's problems. But it's so much fun usually for that one day to just eat and laugh and enjoy my big fat Mexican family.
I can't wait.

if this does not move you- you are dead inside.



Hits theaters November 6th. I will there, box of tissues and all.

Why you don't mess with me

So we went to the grocery store tonight, minding our own business.
Jameson is between us, holding our hands. We're doing the swinging game. You know, one, two, three, SWING! we're happy- its been a good day. As we are walking the crosswalk a car failed to stop at the stop sign before the crosswalk.
he almost hits us. As he abruptly slams his brakes we walk by. we kinda shoot him a dirty look and Dave says hey man there's a stop sign! He drives on and then just stops his car. We keep moving, letting Jameson pick his car shopping cart. This jackass gets out his car and starts walking up to us. Dave is putting Jameson in the car and i step up the guy and he starts raising his voice to me.

Douche: What did you say to me walking by?
Me: (looks at his license plate- its from TN) You didnt stop at that stop sign. You almost hit us with your car while we were walking. (i smile). That;s all.

(i gave the guy the benefit of the doubt since he is from out of state. I was wrong)

Douche: What did you say?
Dave: My wife said you ran the stop sign. We were in the crosswalk and you almost hit us.
Douche: Yeah well I stopped. So what's the problem?
Me: You ran the stop sign. The only reason you stopped is because you almost hit us.
Douche: Yeah well at least I stopped. Be happy about that.

Douche starts to walk off.
Dave: sir, you don't have to be rude. OK?
Douche walks back
Douche: What? You wanna start with me?

I tell Dave to leave him alone. To let him go.
Douche walks away and into the store. We see him get his wife who is buying, wait for it, cheap booze and he leaves.

As he leaves he looks at me. This real creepy look. Dave sees this
Dave: Oh well sir hope you have a good night.
And the guy loses it. He storms back up to us and starts at us again. I had told Dave just to leave him alone. Dave loves to have the last word. He was over the whole situation and said to me oh he was already angry. The Douche is yelling stuff at Dave. Dave eggs him on telling him the guy just parked illegally and if he wants to keep on he will call the cops.

Jameson hears the yelling and runs up and starts trying to yell at him. I take Jameson into the shopping cart and start heading in.
Me:Dave come on Dave just leave this guy alone.

The guy seriously was just creepily looking at me.
(I hate being stared at. And his swollen, red puffy asshole face wouldn't stop yelling at me and staring at me).
Me: do you have a problem? Why are you staring at me? (As i walk into the store. )
Douche: (looking at Dave) You know you really need to sh-
he stops.
Douche: You need to learn to shut her up. You should put her on a leash.

Saying I lost it is an understatment.
I stopped the cart and i changed into crazy ghetto Latina chola.

Me: Oh that's it!
Dave: oh shit.
Me: (giving the cart to Dave and storming up to Douche's face) What did you say? Oh FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKER! You wanna talk? TALK. Come on!

Douche had a OH CRAP look on his face.
Dave: Yeah you shouldn't make her mad.
I stormed away but not before i looked at Douche and said
Me: Shut your mouth you Goddamn asshole before i shut it for you.

He got in his car and left. We called the cops but he took off in his pricey- hey look i am way too old for this car and i have a little wang- car. The grocery store got his picture on camera and they saw how insane he was. Said if he was in there again they'd ban his ass.

Don' t mess with me. :)

What TV Shows do you watch? (From Jen's site)

How I met Your Mother (Just got into this one but i heart it so much!)

House (I dont catch it often but i do netflix it. Love Hugh Laurie!)

Glee- I am such a fan girl of this show. Love the talent. Love the music. Love it all.
Bones- David Boreanuz. Nuff said.


The Office- Jim and Dwight. And the Nard dog.

30 Rock- Anyone who doesn't love this show is dead to me.

Entourage- total boy show and my hubby loves it . As much as a jerk Piven is said to be- he is an amazing jerk on TV.

Weeds- fantastic TV here. The show keeps getting better and better.

Kanye

Kanye West is like the Joe Wilson of the VMA's.
Seriously.

ZOMG

Today i found Sarah MacLachlan's MirrorBall and Savage Garden's Affirmation.
My 16 year self just squealed and shed a tear all at the same time.

Could Sarah's music be more depressing? But i listened to this cd at least 4 times a day. My emo teenage self just loved her haunting voice. The song I Love You? Makes me cry everytime. Fall from Grace does too.

And Savage Garden! Aghhhh. I hearted these guys so much. I got their Affirmation CD and immediately fell in love all over again. Their song, I Don't Know You Anymore is one of my favorites.

Brienne,

START A FREAKING BLOG ALREADY!
Bless it,
ME
