Changes
A lot has happened since the last time I Blogged. I moved out of my house to an apartment with my Boyfriend and I gave birth to my baby girl, Lía Isabella.
To say it’s overwhelming is an understatement. I had never lived on my own, so moving out has not been a walk in the park and since I never ever even played with dolls in my life, taking care of a living, breathing little person…well, it’s been surreal.
But, I am happy. I have no time for myself anymore, but I know that will change eventually. My T.V. watching has been reduced to Pinky Dinky Doo, Backyardigans,
Most people do not believe this, but my 2 ½ month old actually WATCHES cartoons. I put her on her little chair and she’ll just stare in amazement for as long as 2 hours!!!
This, of course, gives me time to do other things like catch up on some reading, Blog, check my mail…
I have to say I’ve been blessed with a little angel of a girl. She’ll only cry if she’s hungry and as soon as I put the bottle in her mouth, it stops and she goes to sleep.
I read a book called “The Happiest Baby On The Block” and it gives parents of “Fussy or Colicky Babies” (they can cry for as long as 5 hours a day) tips on how to soothe them. I feel bad for those poor parents, cause Lía only cries a total of maybe 20 minutes a day and it can get to you…imagine having a kid cry and cry and the cry some more and NOTHING seems to help.
I will try to Blog more, Grant. I had forgotten how fun it was. Muah!!!

My Baby This Week!
Although he's barely the size of a kumquat, a little over an inch or so long crown to bottom and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

Strong Lyrics
Dear Mr. President
By Pink (Feat. Indigo Girls)
Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?
Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?

I Love My Cat!!!

Well, my mom tried those glue traps, but they didn’t work, and plus, my sister an I opposed them cause, frankly, they’re pretty cruel.
We also ruled out the old-fashioned rat trap where you put a piece of cheese and the little rat goes to eat and then BAM! He’s dead…
Poison??? Out of the question. I have 2 very curious Dogs and I was not going to risk it.
What was left??? Getting a Cat…I love all things furry, so I agreed. We got a new Cat. I named “him” Salvador (after Salvador Dalí). He was kind of wild the first 2 weeks, but then he warmed up.
One day, I picked him up and decided to double-check the sex of the kitty…to my surprise, he didn’t have any balls…I renamed HER Gala (after Dalí’s Muse).
Anyways, Gala killed her very first Rat today!!! I gave her a big fat can of Tuna as a price!!! I love my Cat!!!

El Reloj Cu-Cú
Al darme cuenta que el marido se iba a despertar por ese sonido, la mujer gritó "cu-cu'” otras 9 veces más... Se quedó muy orgullosa y satisfecha por haber tenido de pronto, aunque borracha, una idea tan buena para evitar pelea con su marido!!!
La mujer se acuesta de lo más tranquila pensando en lo inteligente y lista que es. Por la mañana, durante el desayuno, el marido le pregunta a qué hora había llegado y ella le contesta que había llegado a las 12:00 en punto, tal y como le había prometido.
El, de momento, no dijo nada ni pareció desconfiado "qué biennnnn! ¡salvaadaaa!" –pensó la mujer. Entonces marido le dice: "por cierto...debemos cambiar nuestro reloj cucú". La mujer, temblorosa, le dice: "¿Síiii? ¿Y por qué, mi amor?" Y el marido le responde: "Bueno, anoche el reloj hizo 'cu-cu' tres veces...luego, no sé cómo, gritó "¡¡Mierda!!".....después hizo 'cu-cu' cuatro veces más...Vomitó en el pasillo... Hizo 'cu-cu' otras tres veces... Se partió de la risa, y otra vez hizo 'cu-cu'...salió corriendo, pisó al gato, rompió la mesita de la esquina de la sala, se acostó a mi lado, y dando el último 'cu-cu', se tiró un peo y se durmió…

ON TRUST, BETRAYAL & FORGIVENESS

“Is the belief in the good character of one party, presumed to seek to fulfill policies, ethical codes, law and their previous promises”.
BETRAYAL
“A form of deception or dismissal of prior presumptions, the breaking or violation of a presumptive social contract (trust, or confidence) that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations”.
FORGIVENESS
“Is the mental, emotional and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment or anger against another person for a perceived offence, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution”.
(Definitions From Wikipedia)
TRUST…5 little letters…biiiiiiiiiig word. I have always considered myself to be an extremely Trusting person. If I meet someone that I think I can become friends with, they have my complete Trust from the get go because if I don’t think I can Trust them, no way they will enter my much closed circle of friends.
But to get something clear, I am TRUSTING…Not STUPID. I take a lot of pride in knowing I am a very smart woman and but a very intuitive one as well. There have been times were suspicion, not proof, has been enough to make me not trust someone anymore…and when I get that “feeling” that someone’s not being completely upfront with me, I am rarely (to not say never) wrong.
The way I see it, if you are an honest, sincere and truthful person, people won’t have reasons to doubt you. It’s not only to BE Trustworthy…But to ACT it as well.
When someone in my life has proven to be untrustworthy I can be very, very radical as to whether or not I will continue being friends with them. One thing I can’t stand is when someone wants to make me look like a fool, especially when that person has had nothing but respect from my part.
The thing is that it’s not easy to get over being betrayed by a person you love. When someone hurts you, lies to you and cheats on you, you are left with a feeling of despair and hopelessness that won’t fade just because you utter the words “I’m Sorry”. Sorry sometimes just doesn’t cut it.
Example: If you are in a relationship with someone, don’t give them reasons to doubt you…If YOU INSIST on doing something YOU KNOW is wrong at least have the brains to cover your tracks, you fucking idiot…that way, you won’t have to apologize later on for your stupidity.
When someone betrays the trust I have put in them I find it very hard to just “Forgive and Forget”…Regrettably, the human brain is not a Computer where you can just press “Delete” and be on your merry way. There are things that I just cannot forgive. If someone has not only betrayed my confidence but has also disrespected me greatly…I’m sorry…I can’t forgive that. Yeah, yeah…I’m familiar with the whole “nothing weighs more than a chip on your shoulder”, but that’s just how I am.
Bob Dylan said it best: "People rarely do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, and then repent"…When you do what is convenient for you, don’t be sorry for it…own your actions!

Feliz Día De La Mujer!!!

RAZONES POR LAS CUALES LAS MUJERES SOMOS PERFECTAS:
No nos quedamos calvas
Tenemos un día Internacional y otro de la No Violencia Contra Nuestro Género
Podemos usar tanto color rosado como azul
Siempre sabemos que nuestro hijo es nuestro
Tenemos prioridad en los naufragios
Nos pagan la cuenta
Somos los primeros rehenes en ser liberados
Si somos traicionadas, somos víctimas. Si traicionamos, ellos
son los cornudos
Podemos dormir con una amiga sin ser llamadas homosexuales
Podemos prestar atención varias cosas a la vez
Mujer de Embajador, es Embajadora; marido de embajadora Ná!
Mujer de Presidente es la Primera Dama; marido de la Presidenta Ná!
Mujer de un Rey e Reina; marido de la Reina Ná!
Si decidimos hacer trabajos de hombres, somos pioneras. Si un hombre decide hacer trabajos femeninos, es maricón.
Hacemos tooooodo lo que el hombre hace, Y CON TACONES ALTOS!!!

Me Sacaron Una Muelita...
Hace unas semanas, empecé a sentir dolor en una muela. Como es natural, fui al Dentista para que me chequearan. Tenía miedo de que me dijeran que había que hacerme un Tratamiento de Canal porque siempre he escuchado que es lo más doloroso del puto mundo y como yo soy más pendeja que los gatos, no quería averiguar si eso era cierto. Efectivamente, cuando me tomaron la Radiografía, me dijeron que ese era el paso a seguir. Ná, me encomendé a lo Divino y fui a empezarme el Tratamiento.Pipo esa vaina si duele!!! Se tiene que hacer en varias visitas por lo tedioso que es. Luego de la primera, el dolor cedió un poco así que estaba feliz de la vida. Cuando me intervinieron la segunda vez, el dolor se tornó constante e insoportable.
Ayer fui ya grave y desesperada con un dolor y la Doctora me decía que no entendía porqué me seguía doliendo…que consuelo!!! Si la Doctora no entendía…
Me tomaron una Placa Panorámica y resultó que tenía una Fisura en la Raíz de la muela y que iban a tener que retirármela inmediatamente!!!
Me equivoqué. El Tratamiento de Canal es una mierda comparado con lo que me hicieron pa sacarme la maldita muela esa.
Primero me anestesiaron, luego la Doctora cogió algo que parecía un instrumento de tortura de la era Medieval y empezó a separarme la muela de la encía. Como es algo que te están haciendo dentro de la boca, se oye igualito todo…El Rrr Rrr Rrr que hacía el instrumento guayándome la muela fue peor que el dolor. Cuando ya estaba floja, agarró un alicate que cuando lo vi por mi madre santísima que me faltó poco pa desmayarme y ahí empezó lo bueno. Esa mujer empezó a jalar y a jalar y casi se me sube arriba jalando!!! Pero cuando por fin retiró la pieza, sentí un alivio increíble.
Ahora me tienen a Maicena, Helado, Jugo y Coca Cola. No puedo masticar nada y ando drogada la mayor parte del día con unas pastillas fuertísimas que me recetaron.
De ahora en adelante voy a ir cada 4 meses a hacerme mi chequeo porque si me llegan a hablar otra vez de Tratamiento de Canal o de Retiro de Pieza yo me muero!!!!!

WHY WORRY?
There are only two things to worry about:either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing for you to worry about;
but if you are sick, then there are two things for you to worry about:
either you get well or you die.
If you get well, then there is nothing for you to worry about;
but if you die, then there are two things for you to worry about:
either you go up or you go down.
If you go up, then there is nothing for you to worry about;
but if you go down…you'll be so busy shaking hands with old friends
you won’t have time to worry!!!

Queda Prohibido
Levantarte un día sin saber que hacer
Tener miedo a tus recuerdos.
Queda prohibido no sonreír a los problemas
No luchar por lo que quieres
Abandonarlo todo por miedo
No convertir en realidad tus sueños.
Queda prohibido no demostrar tu amor
Hacer que alguien pague tus deudas y mal humor.
No intentar comprender lo que vivieron juntos
Llamarles sólo cuando los necesitas.
Queda prohibido no ser tú ante la gente
Fingir ante las personas que no te importan
Hacerte el gracioso con tal de que te recuerden
Olvidar a toda la gente que te quiere.
Queda prohibido no hacer las cosas por ti mismo
No creer en Dios y hacer tu destino
Tener miedo a la vida y a sus compromisos
No vivir cada día como si fuera un último suspiro.
Queda prohibido echar a alguien de menos sin alegrarte
Olvidar sus ojos, su risa, todo
Porque sus caminos han dejado de abrazarse
Olvidar su pasado y pagarlo con su presente.
Queda prohibido no intentar comprender a las personas
Pensar que sus vidas valen más que la tuya
No saber que cada uno tiene su camino y su dicha.
Queda prohibido no crear tu historia
Dejar de dar las gracias a Dios por tu vida
No tener un momento para la gente que te necesita
No comprender que lo que la vida te da, también te lo quita.
Queda prohibido no buscar tu felicidad
No vivir tu vida con una actitud positiva
No pensar en que podemos ser mejores
No sentir que sin ti este mundo no sería igual.

Como siempre he dicho, es muy bueno meterse en el Blog de una persona y dejar comentarios Anónimos con la intención de causarle un mal rato al propietario del espacio. Cualquiera es guapo detrás de un teclado.
Aquí me han dejado este Comment:
“Que pena que te hayan botado de nuevo.
Porque te quedaste sin novio, otravez, verdad?
Sorry!
Esoty segura que para cuando cumplas tus 30s, encontrars a alguien. Hopefully.
good luck.”
Anónimo(a), querido(a),
Si, estoy sin novio otra vez, pero no fue porque me botaron. Si necesitas saber, fue porque yo, contrario a otras mujeres que conozco, me respeto y me di cuenta que hay cosas que es mejor cortarlas temprano para evitar sufrimientos futuros, y te juro que siento que es la mejor decisión que he tomado!!!
Pero no sientas pena. Yo me siento como hacía tiempo no me sentía. Puedo decir que tengo los mejores amigos del mundo entero, que no han dejado que yo piense en sandeces ni que sienta un ápice de tristeza, pero lo más importante es porque tomé una decisión cuando hubo que tomarla y sin remordimiento ni arrepentimientos.
Y otra cosa, si no encuentro a alguien antes de los 30, no importa. Yo no tengo prisa. Y además, mejor sola que mal acompañada, digo yo. Es como escribí una vez: yo no tengo que “encontrar a alguien”. Ese alguien no está perdido. Él vendrá cuando yo esté lista.
Gracias por seguir leyendo mi Blog. Ya me hacía falta verte por aquí. Por lo visto tu vida sigue igual de vacía que siempre. Espero que este año desarrolles una personalidad más interesante. Mira que te hace falta. Hopefully!!!
