So there’s just 2 of us in the office. Bosses are gone. The guy that works for my boss’ husband is the only other person here aside from me. I don’t know how long he’ll be staying here but I feel like in an hour or so I will find myself alone in the office. Which is fine ’cause for some reason I do get more work done.
It feels like Friday.
so this is what we did
Nick and I went up to Skagit Valley last April 22nd to check out the Tulips that have been blooming over there. I guess it’s now or never to show you guys some of what we have seen. Enjoy!
Just dropping by to say hi to you all! Nick has been working up in Camano Island on and off so I have been enjoying my alone time.
It’s been wet weather-wise. I don’t know when it’s going to stop. I hope it does soon ’cause I want to ride my bike dang it!
How are you guys?
After being away for work, Nick finally came home the other day (and now he’s gone again) and check out what he brought home with him.
Num num nummy oysters!
I could’ve eaten it raw but I was just not in the mood for that. So I just cooked it in butter and garlic. hehe!
…everyone getting to eat seafood but me. (only today)
…people on the bus who don’t know how to wipe their butts after pooping that’s why the smell sticks to the seats
…people on the bus talking on the phone so loud, you end up knowing their whole life story before they get off
…the weather not staying sunny
…everyone getting hooked on twitter, including me. And why the heck should i care about what everyone is doing?
…pms?
It’s been months huh?
Nick’s birthday, Christmas in Spokane, New Year’s Eve, Obama’s inaguration, my birthday and even Valentine’s day has passed. It has been that long since I last blogged.
Obviously a lot has happened, a lot has changed, even the economy has gone through so much.
Working two jobs, a husband in school full time, in this crazy economy, is not an easy task. I should have had a nervous breakdown by now. But I didn’t and I won’t. Because the one thing that has remained constant is Jesus. He has been faithful, loving, gracious and more than I could ask or imagine.
He has provided for so much. Rent, food, gas, money for a new second-hand car, a bike, capoeira training, and other things. Should I be complaining? Of course not.
I know that this is not me. He has giving me the extra job, the raise and a promotion, just when Nick and I really needed it. He gave even before I asked for it. That’s favor and grace right there.
It’s been that long, but I’m still here. Believing.
Totally cracked me up! Love it!
Now my thoughts on the fight…
It was a great victory for us. This is definitely just the beginning of Manny’s career.
I honestly didn’t know it would be that easy for Manny after 8 rounds. De la Hoya was smart for giving up early on than embarrass himself with a major KO from Manny. He did leave the fight gracefully.
Before and after the fight, I loved how he prayed in his corner. Putting Him first and knowing that He is the one giving him strength.
Ok National Anthem… why the heck Karylle? Why not Charice Pempengco who can obviously sing way better? It may be a shallow comment but for reals why not Charice?
I know Karylle did look like a nun beside Keyshia Cole but she was definitly wearing nothing for the National Anthem.. I thought that was direspectful. But hey, that’s just me. :-p
Anyway, back to the fight… I’m pumped up for Manny’s next fights… I again will make sure I find a good place to watch it.
I did my one last errand for work by depositing some checks in the bank. I hopped onto my bus back to work.
I sit in front of an old man, probably in his 80’s, wearing glasses, holding a cane.. and definitely balding. He looks at me as if I’m crazy and says..
Old Man: (pointing to me and to each and everyone in the bus) You’re a sophomore, you’re a sophomore, you’re a sophomore.. you’re a sophomore. You’re all cutting classes I’ll report you to your principal.
Me: No, you’re cutting classes!
Old Man: No I’m not. I’m old. I’m 30.
