News

Well the Bible study went okay last night. I bought a Regular Dr Pepper for one of my friends, then another Diet Dr Pepper for another friend who got sick and didn't get to come. But just to let you know that I was thinking of you guys and I know it is hard to make it to everything that we have going on because quiet frankly we have lots of things going on. But the Vanbuskirk family came, the Maines with little bitty Logan, who is absolutely adorable. He is getting around really good now and Aydan like him but I had to keep getting on to him about being gentle and the Sis. Boone came. But it was good.....holiness is something that I have not obtained to its fullness because I do suffer from the flesh wanting to get in the way....but it was a good lesson....
My car is being worked on today, we took the car over last night after everyone left so lets all pray that everything is good because I am still a little bit suspicious still. He seems a nice guy but who knows.
Aydan has learnt two words this week. English words but we I told Mariano Spanish words, not really one of them is kind of easy to say for a baby. But we are concentrating on the word "perro" and that is dog. But you have to roll your tongue with the r's so I am curious as to what outcome we are going to have. But the first word was 'kraka' meaning cracker. So when Mariano came on Tuesday night I was telling him about and getting Aydan to say it, so when Aydan finally he said it, Mariano said, "Quit talkin' about ya mama." I thought it was hilarious. Then on Thursday night, Aydan and I were getting a bath together and he noticed the soap bubbles in the bath tub. And all I said was bubbles and he said "bubba". So he has learnt two more. But his favorite one so far is "paw-paw." Paw Paw doesn't even have to be around but he says it.

Well Thursday night, we went to bed @ 10:30. I only worked half a day yesterday and was going to meet Mom down at the building to pick up Aydan. Mom calls me at work right before I leave and told me to come on home because Aydan was still asleep. He didn't get up til 12:20. So Saturday which is my day to lay in, I have Mariano close the curtains before he left to go to work and closed the bathroom door and made it dark. Aydan wakes up at 6:15 AM, IN THE MORNING, and wants to wrestle, so I am trying not to lose my cool here but I couldn't believe it. So I just ignored him, he would keep hitting me in the face, he tossed and he turned until @ 8:00. So now it is 10:53 and he is still asleep. But I wasn't really pleased.

Yesterday I needed to go and get my drivers licenses renewed. Guess how much??? No not $10 like they were 8 years ago but $32!!! When he told me that I was like "WOW." That is so ridiculous. The sign said $4.00 per year and they renewed my for 8 years. I can maybe understand $2 a year but come on now. So I had to write a check because I thought maybe $20 and that was all the cash I had on me. Well let me get off of here and finish laundry....which reminds me that I ran the water last night and turn the machine off until I went and got the clothes and they are still sitting in my bedroom.....I never put them in.....

Practicing

Well my brother Scott had a good idea to get together and practice some songs. So this is how our evening went. Beginning with Sundaynight when I first heard of it I was under the impression that we would be practicing Tuesday evening. Wrong! So Monday evening I get home and Scott asks if I am going to be able to go down at Buren & Faye's tonight. So I said that I need to talk to Mariano about who would be keeping Aydan and make arrangements for supper. Since we had to get ready in 30 minutes Mariano said for me to give Aydan a bath so if we left late from down there then that would be out of the way and Aydan could go straight to sleep. Mariano weould cook supper who does an excellent job. Possibly clean the kitchen, just depends on what soccer is playing? But who knows...but I will have to say that he has been doing a great job of it. I am still praying for the cable to go away and that Mariano will see that some things that you watch are okay to watch but it is time consuming. Well that is all one blog for another day. So back to practicing. I go in and pack Aydan's supper (food, drink, snack, diapers, wipes, etc.) and then his pajama bag. We go out and we are in the front porch when here comes my brother. SO I ask what is he doing and that we can take my car so that we do not have to switch the car seat. Scott informs me that Aunt Faye is on here way here and that plans were changed. How lovely. So I come out my parents house, feed Aydan and get it out of the way. Scott eats, Faye comes, Dad gets up out of bed. I fix Dad and me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then we finally get ready to practice. We were to start @ 7:15 but by this time it is like 7:45. So Faye, Scott and me try a song, couldn't get parts, switched parts and still couldn't get parts. I don't know I just do so much better with a piano, guitars and me just don't get along. So I am sitting here blogging while they (Faye, Scott and Dad) learn a song. I am only getting the "faces" part, I get lost after that. But supposedly this will be a good song for Uncle Buren.
But tomorrow night I will be cleaning house and Thursday night as well. I am hoping to get off half day on Friday because I didn't take my birthday afternoon off. The only problem is my boss is in France and he won't read his email until about now. But Mom and Dad, possibly Scott are going to be leaving this Friday around lunch time to go to Pigeon Forge. Which I found out yesterday that we would be going two weeks from now. We were going to go to Florida to be with the Pacheco familia but Mariano was to thrilled about the drive. But family is family and if all I had was three cousins I believe that I would go and see them once a year. But I told him that I wanted to go to Alaina's wedding so that would be another trip this year. But who knows.....I am all about going to Tennessee.
Well I am being sermond.....

My Week

Well this week has been hectic. But I feel like my Senior Buyer and I have shared the load this week because that was all there was to our department. I love having interns but when you have to find stuff for the two of them, then sometimes you are better off sending them home and doing it yourself correctly the first time. But then again isn't being an intern meaning to learn things. The one intern that I am solely over is a God send. Nice, sweet, angelic and I am waiting until she turns into something else because she does whatever I ask her to without complaining. Love her to death and she has been there for a month so she can kind of find herself around while doing projects. Our other intern in our department has only been there for a whole two weeks. This week my boss is gone for two weeks for business (FRANCE...would love to go if my whole family could go with me) and then the other buyer is on vacation all week which she asked for before we new that our boss was going on a business trip. Then the other MRO buyer is at a workshop all week and he has an intern and I was responsible for him too. So our Senior buyer covered the other two that were gone and I covered all MRO buying, my regular stuff and found things for the intern to do. Which I think he asked me 5 questions every hour. Today was starting to get on my nerves, Thank the Lord that MRO buyer will be back on Monday.
Then we went yesterday to our friend's funeral. So hard to believe that he is gone. Just like that and so many different questions you have about what really happened that day. But he looked alright in the casket, not beat up or anything. But my heart went out to his mom because she was just leaning down in the casket and I really didn't know if she was going to get up or not. But it said, we were in band together and I thought that I would have seen more people that we know there. And then while we were waiting, here comes an old time flame through the door. Had no idea that he was still in town. And of course we are in the next to last pew where his buddies were sitting, so he had to sit down right behind me. I thought Lord please do not come and talk to me here. He didn't, we just looked at each other and smiled said hello and went on our way. Now if Mariano had of been there, I would have introduced him and asked him how he was doing. And then I wanted to ask how did you know Eric? But I am satisfied that I am no longer with him. Which brings me to a question? For you girls who have old flames. Do you ever want to go back and ask questions that were never really settled. Or there is one person that I would love and I have told Mariano that if I ever saw him that I really wanted to sit down and talk to because we had such a good 'friend' relationship and I think that is why it never went anywhere. Mariano and I have had this conversation time and time again, because I feel like you should be completely honest with your spouse, if not then you will suffer marital problems or that is true with all relationships. But does anyone ever miss the times before marriage when we were all single and it really didn't matter what happened because we were all so close and everything? Am I the only one? Trust me, I love Mariano and without him I wouldn't have Aydan, which isn't why I love him. But just to go back to the memories. Well I think that is enough, Aydan is starting to mess with the computer...and the other day he scratched my sunflower wall paper and ripped it. I was ready to blister him because I don't want our house looking that! Oh yea, I told Mariano that I didn't want to have Bible Study unless I have curtains. Is that bad...I am not trying to sound prideful by no means but our living room is going on three years and it still looks the same. So if you don't like, please tell me, my feelings don't get hurt...
