The perils of working with relatives

November 29th, 2004 · 1 Comment

It’s a very small world. We all know that. But my world gets smaller and smaller every day. In fact, I work with one of my relatives: my step-aunt (my Dad married her sister), if you will. Well, she was over at my Dad’s for Thanksgiving and apparently some of my childhood pictures surfaced. So […]

Well, I survived the Thanksgiving weekend. And it was actually very pleasant. There were no food fights, no major dysfunction, and no one throwing up in the front yard (a story for another time). In case you needed some pictorial proof, here you go:

Where Credit is Due

November 24th, 2004 · No Comments

I wanted to congratulate my good friend Ally on becoming a Mommy. She gave birth to Daemien James Tapia Rooks-Joya on November 19th at 6:57 pm. He was 8lbs, 5 1/2 ounces and 21 1/2″ long. I saw the picture the hospital puts up on-line and he is a doll! He has lots of dark […]

The yin to his yang.

November 19th, 2004 · 2 Comments

Simeon and I balance each other in so many ways. I like to think I bring order to his chaos. He helps me to have fun and lighten up. In a way, I am the yin to his yang. We cannot exist without each other. And this is only further proof:
If you must […]

November 17th, 2004 · 3 Comments

Ok, I know I have been quiet over here lately (and I have already been lectured for that. Sorry ladies!) but things have been so chaotic at work that when I finally get home I am wiped out. That and I figured no one wanted to hear me complaining (God knows there is enough of […]

The Door is Open

November 4th, 2004 · 8 Comments

I have mentioned in the past, I love Harry Potter. For those who have been sucked into Pottermania and have found J.K. Rowling’s site, you will be pleased to know that the “Do Not Disturb” sign is off the door! After playing around with the site for quite some time (and a little bit of […]

Movie review: Saw

November 2nd, 2004 · 1 Comment

Since a few of you asked me to let you know how the movie was, I thought I’d do my own little movie review. But I have to warn you, I love movies. It takes a pretty horrible movie for me to not like it. That said, here it is:

All by myself!!

November 1st, 2004 · 2 Comments

The lyrics to “All By Myself” have been playing in my head all day today, because that’s me for the next week. All by myself. (And for those of you who are wondering, it’s in a “Celine Dion” way and not in a “Green Day” way. Perv.) Simeon is in New Orleans til Friday […]
