The weekend begins..

So I am officially watching Twilight. Haha I know the movie wasn't the best but ohhhh Edward Cullen. Hahaha. I went to Walmart this morning to get some necessities and ended up buying Twilight. Woohoo.

Anyways, well..we're going to be heading out to the city later for our evening outing for our anniversary. I can't wait. I'm so happy to be off, it's been a long week.

Home sweet Home

So we went driving around last week on Thursday during AJ's therapy session just to look to see if there was any house available. There was one house we found off of Calvine Rd which is on land. We called the number and the guy met us in like 20 mins. We were only inquiring to see about how much he needed down and he ended up letting us look at the property.

It's not the best..but it's a fixer-upper. I totally want to move into it. Needs lots of cleaning and maintaining. But its okay. It's on farm land. We can have the dogs and Tuan talked to him about our situation. I mean, it's a deal. But just gotta get the deposit together. Maybe I'm just dreaming and hoping..cause I've been thinking about it since we've seen it. We'll see though.

Cross my fingers...

If it's not meant to be..then we'll have to look around again within the next few months. I'm so ready to get outta his sis house. I kinda want to do it before she goes into labor.

Lunch w/ Winnie Anne

So last week on Friday I got to see Winnie-Anne! I swear we havent' seen in other since last year as far as going to hang out. She was off so we had lunch at Satori's (yum). What's so funny is we saw her and Joey at church a few weeks back and we were suppose to have a play date w/ the kids on a Sat. I thought I had her number on my phone right cause that Saturday after work which was the following Sunday from when we saw them I called and left her a message to call me back and see if she wanted to meet at Mc D's.

On the vmail, it didn't have a greeting, just the normal automated greeting. So I figured she got busy or forgot. So last week on Thursday I found out I had her # in my phone wrong. Talk about modded!! I bet the person was all like "um, don't know who you're calling" ahahaha.
Oh well, we finally got to get our numbers right.

So, we had a good lunch. I wish I was off though cause I had to go back to work. Maybe, I'll find someone to switch w/ me on a Fri when AJ's off track that way the kids can hang out or something. Anne's daughter is so funny...she texted me earlier telling me she told her we had lunch just us "mommys" and Carm said she was sad cause she wanted to see me too.

Kids. Gotta love them and their responses. :)

March birthdays

March 3- Happy Birthday to my mom...

March 22-It's our Anniversary (Toni-Toni-Tone song comes on haha)

March 25-Happy Birthday Katie!

March 28-Happy Birthday Myndy!

March 29-Nings Birthday! (Speaking of which I gotta plan her bday gathering)

March begins..

So it's like 3:53 AM Wednesday morning, and I am soo awake right now. I really don't know why. I'm probably going to regret this later, but oh well.

I haven't been online other then to do banking so I figured might was well blog. :)

Well, it's officially March. I swear, I went from blogging every now and then almost every day to once a month. Anyways, our anniversary is this month and I've been planning it since Jan to see where we're going to eat etc etc. I already have where we're going to stay so I'm excited about that. We'll be staying at the Hyatt by Pier 39. It's the one off Embarcadero (the one where the Equinox) use to be. So I can't wait to see it.

I haven't figured out where to eat yet. Anthony doesn't want to be on a schedule so I figured I might just look around and see where we can eat as far as get ideas, then I'll decide to make reservations. I know we'll be gone the morning of Saturday. I had to plan it where we have someone to watch the kids cause Glo has school Fri and Sats. So we'll be staying in the city on Sat and coming back the evening of Sunday. I'm really excited cause I'll also be off on the Monday. Woohoo. Long weekend for me. Something I haven't really had in a while.

Back to March...

Well, it's Lent and I have decided to give up two things. Which are really going to be hard for me but so far so good.
1. NO rice
2. I can't purchase any book until after Lent.

OMG. This is going to be hard for me. Well, the NO rice part I can live with. I think it's the purchasing of the books that's going to be harder for me. I swear I buy at least one book when I get paid. I know I've been reading like crazy book to book back to back. And I hate borrowing books. I want to be able to keep my books and have them on my book shelf. But yea, so I'm hoping nothing good comes out, and if they do gotta wait till after Lent.
