a new adventure everyday
Well, it is that time of year again. This was the race that started this running thing.
I am trying to fundraise some cash before September 15. My goal is $100 but I am hoping all my homies can step up and help me surpass that amount. So if anyone is interested, go to my fundraising website and donate to a great cause.
Thanks!
Just because I wanted to remember: I ran this race last year in 37:20. Hoping I do better this year.
My aunt had called me yesterday during the day that that smoke alarms were going off. Completely freaked her out. I know she was cooking so I told her to open all the windows so there could be some wind blowing thru the house. We got home and all is well.
Well, this morning Eric opened the door to the balcony and the door alarm when off. I was up stairs getting Diego ready when this happened. Poor kid freaked out and held onto my legs. I had to rush and turn off the alarm so I had break Diego’s death grip on my legs. I just left him laying on the floor. Poor kid! But even when I turned the alarm off, the fire alarms kept going. 😯
Eric is pressing the reset buttons on the alarms and they quieted down for a bit and they started again. So, Eric called ADT to see what can be going on. They told him to vacuum the alarms and change all the batteries. So we did. Six alarms, six batteries. Thankfully, we had them in the house because I bought a four pack 9V batteries about a month or so again plus there was a two pack already here. Phew!
All thru this time, Diego is just clamped on me like nobody’s business. My poor baby was so traumatized during this time he was just shaking like a leaf. 😦
So I took the day off to make sure the alarms did not go off again. I wish it was on better terms this impromptu day off happened but here I am. Got to take care of the family.
After living in our area for almost 3 years, we now have residential permit parking. The cool thing about it is you will need a permit to park in my ‘hood all day, all week. Hopefully this alleviate the parking crunch we currently have.
That is wonderful for the people living there but not so much for the visitors that use the school. Bye bye to the students, softball players, soccer families, picnic patrons and anyone else that parks there car for hours. Please go park at the local parking garage. Goodness, it only costs $2 for 2 1/2 hours. That is a deal.
We are getting our car and temporary visitor permits soon. We will need to start using them on 7/9/07. I hope this really help and it will be worth the money. We will then reevaluate this next year.
So, if you are planning to visit us after 7/6/07, let us know before you come over so we have the temp permit waiting for you. 🙂
This was an email that was sent to my good friend Jen who happened to miss Sofia’s 1st birthday party. If you don’t know my husband, well, this email said it all.
Used with permission.
Jen,
You missed it this party was off the charts!!! It was the bizomb!
The birthday girl partied so hard she passed out towards the end of the party. I mean the girl was down for the count. All the while wearing, are you ready for this?, a peek-a-boo dress. But her bodyguard was keeping an eye on the sitch-ee-a-tion. Nobody was a gonna get a peek at her boo while big daddy is around.
The celebrated brother was king of the dance floor. This kid’s got some real Happy Feet.
Now for the part Devin probably “forgot” to mention. The Divine Miss Em was riding a motorcycle. Oh, and the kid is a real swinger. A chip of the old mommy block. She loves to swing. Spin? Not so much. Reminds me off that old eighty’s tune. “you spin me round, round, baby, round, round, like a record, baby, round, round. (man those were lyrics back then)
The Divoky kids never showed. They must have been watching the Cubs trounce the Sox.
Diego Mateo was dirty! Naw, really, the kid’s bath water was brown on Sunday morning. Yeah, the plan was to hose him down as soon as we got home but as soon as we put him in his car seat it was like someone clapped their hands and shut him off for the night. Man, I love the clapper. Not the kind you get from cheap hos. Sorry, honey, I don’t mean you. You’re not
cheap. (no he di’in, yes he di’id)Speaking of Angelica, she totally know who you are. She just remembers you as the thriller girl. check it out…
As for nudity, I’m holding out for the day when we all get our private island. Or next time we go camping.
As I was going home, I stopped by Starbucks to get a Chai Latte. There was a gentleman there ordering a Venti Chai Latte. Then it was my turn, I ordered a Tall Chai Latte with soy milk. As I was ordering, another gentleman enter the shop. He ordered a Grande Chai Latte. It must’ve been a Chai type of afternoon. 😆
I know this is my blog and I can write anything I want on it but my post I was writing was SO boring that I just deleted it. I figured why even post something if I even deemed it boring. *sigh*
Well, last night I did two good deeds. One planned and the other unplanned.
On Tuesday, I found a UIC ID at the parking garage across the street from Little Gym. I figured I should find the person, which I did via the school online directory, and send them an email. After sending an email to the ID’s owner and waited over 24 hours, I finally got an email from her yesterday. We met at Caribou and she was very grateful.
So I was walking home, someone asked me where Prairie Ave & 14th St was. So I gave him instructions on how to get there.
That made me feel good on a cold and windy night. I did two good unselfish things this week. I think I am set for the rest of the year. 😉
It was my cousin’s quinceanera (sweet 15th party) in Mexico. It was a blast. Diego was only 5 months old!! 😯 Now, Diego is 17 months old, my brother has bought a house & my other brother moved to Indiana. Twelve months has passed and so many things have happened since then. I wonder what we will be doing one year from now?
So we headed out to Cudahy, WI on Sunday. We went t&ting. It was much fun although Diego really did not know what was going on. He occasionally said bye and waved his hand but nothing else. I guess you can’t do much when you are sitting in a stroller. 😆 He did really well. His little pumpkin was filled up with goodies. Hopefully on Halloween day, the weather won’t be too bad and we can take him around the ‘hood.
Wow, I can’t believe I am 32. 😆 I keep thinking I’m 23. I don’t feel like I am 32 at all. I guess that is a good thing. Happy birthday to me!
see angie run
