Opening Day! (And people watching)

Well, look at me, all updating my bloga every day. I'm a good girl. I knew I could do it, and I am having so much fun reading everyone else's blogs, its making me want to keep mine up.I pondered the idea of doing it at work, but I never have time these days. I miss the old days where I could be uploading pics to Myspace all day, lol. Now it's all about managing the office, and dealing with my crazy clients divorce's. Now THAT is some stories for another day. I need to research and see how much I can say on this thing without getting in trouble;). I'll keep ya posted!

I can't wait for tomorrow! In case ya'll didn't know, tomorrow is the Dodger's Opening Day. I have taken off work for this event, and me and my bf will be there when the gates open. My son declined to go, opting for another day when it wont be so crowded. We usually get tickets for 15 or so games, but not sure about this year.

I love going to baseball games. The best part is the people watching. I love to people watch. He is always having to remind me to stop staring at someone. I can't help it, I find peoples lives so interesting. The things they do, why the do it, and all that. If I wouldn't have had the career I had, I definitely would have become a Sociologist. That's actually what I am planning on minoring in, once i get back to escuela. Then I will have a valid excuse to stare at people. Maybe that should be the driving force for me to complete my degree.

Once at a game, this lady on front of us took off her shoes and put her nasty feet up on the chair in front of her. Eww! I can understand if she was sporting some chanklas, or some heels, and the shoes slipped off. But homegirl had tennies and socks on, and just whipped them off. I was dying laughing while my boyfriend looked grossed out. i happened to snap a picture of it while alternating between laughing and looking around to see who else seen her. She never did notice that I took a picture, or that everyone was staring at her. Pobrecita was just chillin with her feet hanging all out. this was the same chick who refused to get up from her seat when people wanted to get in and out. In case ya didn't know, the aisle's are pretty damn small, and you have to stand up to let someone pass. Nope! This lady refused to budge. She would tell them "Ay, mijo just step over me" and offer her hand to them. No one really confronted her about it, but they would dumbfounded. Hilarious!

So, I look forward to the many things I will see tomorrow. I am definitely bringing my camera to sneak some pics in of people. Plus, i get to see my Boys on Blue play the first home game of the season. Good Times! Los Doyers!

Weekends

I loveeee the weekend. I work so hard all week that as soon as the weekend comes I want to jump up and down. But with weekends comes choices. If I had it my way I would spend the whole time just chillin. Watching tv, reading my favorite libros, maybe going to the movies. But I have a hyper 6 year old, and a boyfriend I don't see too much of, plus chores and errands I can't do with my 50 hour work week. So every weekend I am being pulled in too many direction. Mi'hijo wants to "go out and go somewhere fun", usually involving playgrounds or amusement parks. When I go out with my boyfriend, he wants to stay out half the night because he says if we go home I fall asleep right away. Then there is the cleaning, dishes, grocery shopping, haircuts, play rehearsal's (for my son), and the thing I dread the most; laundry. Man, can't a chica get some rest?? To top it off, I am supposed to be putting in a few hours of "work from home", reviewing cases, getting the lawyer ready for court, etc. So, every weekend is this balancing act of trying to get my rest on, complete all the domestic things, and make up for hardly seeing my child all week. Ay, I miss weekends being time to sleep in and play outside all day.

Seriously, if I would have known back then that weeknds would be so hectic, I would have slept a whole lot more, and played a whole lot more. Now, don't get me worng, it's not ALL bad. I get to sleep about an hour more than weekdays, I can sneak in the occasional nap, and I love being able to make my son happy. I even love going out with my boyfriend half the night, because it reminds me of the old days when I would party all night, and it's nice to spend time with him.

Now, it's Sunday once again. House is clean, but laundry and grocery shopping weren't done. My son got to go to an indoor playground and wear himself out for a few hours, and I got to finish my book of the week (Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton). But my son woshes he got to do "more", adn i just want to nap. Ehh, growing up is hard work, mi amigos.

Let's see what the week brings.. Ten una buena semana!!

Let's try this again...

Hey ya'll...Been awhile huh? I will try it again..Let me start with updates..

Mi'hijo is now 6 and in the first grade! He reads, is a math whiz, and i love him to death. I struggle with the balancing act all the time of single parenthood and work, school, life. He is worth every minute of it though. My comadre helps me out so much with that. She is my role model. She has 4 kids, and her oldest has just been accepted to several great colleges. I want to be just like her when i grow up.

I am still at the same job. I have been promoted a few times, am now Lead Family Law paralegal, and my boss is waiting for me to accept the Office Manager position. I am hesitant, as it's already hard with the couple people I supervise, and the few projects I head. Resentment is rampant, and people ain't afraid of showing it. I'll save the drama for un otro dia. Give ya something to look forward to, haha.

Still with my boyfriend. We are still taking things as they come. Our relationship is not conventional in any way, but he is a great man, and I'm glad he is in my life. I'm sure there will be future posts dedicated to our relationship. ;)

I am also still striving for home ownership. It will come, maybe not as soon as I like, but it will come. I still live in this little one bedroom rented house and still sleep on the couch. I can afford more now, but I'm trying to save as much as I can. Plus, my landlords are he best. They mow my lawn, water and plant the garden, and fix up the house constantly. They even take my trash out every week! Where else will I get that?

Well that's my updates. I am going to really strive to update this blog all the time. There are so many blogs i enjoy to read, and i want to be able to express myself in a creative way like that. Until next time....

Soooooo..

Well I thought I would be bloggin every day, but life happens. I moved, spent a jobless summer wondering how I was going to pay my rent, and went on interview after interview. Between them offering me barely above minimum wage to wanting me to drive like 2 hours away (about 30 miles in LA, but traffic is a bitch), or a combination of both, I was beyond Stressed!. But good things eventually happen, and I have a great job now. I been here about 2 months, and although te pay is less than the last one, the people are great (maybe because I work with all guys??), it's close, and the boss is great!

Soooo...to sum it up, I know have time to blog and my life is straight again. I will be back!

So it's 7:30 in the morning..

Ever felt like you just wanted to sleep all day? Me, i loveeee sleep, but i am a insomniac at night but i can sleep like a log during the day...weird...So, ever since i'm out of a job, (one week and 2 days) all i have wanted to do was sleep. that was cool last week, i caught up on all my z's while my son was at school...but this week...ehhhh..i still want to sleep, but when i lay down i get all stressed out,. thinking how I don't have job, i should be doing SOMETHING.

So yesterday i dragged myself outta bed and started cleaning my son's room...damn thats kids room looks like Toys'R'Us!! I got the bright idea of photographing all his old stuff and trying to sell it on Craigslist..haha who knew so many people posted their stuff on there..no one has called except in the response to the free toys ad...o0o and one guy who emailed me and said he was "interested to meet and talk about my items"...ummmm no...Creep Alert!! ..hmmmm....i was kinda worried my son would freak out when he got home, but he was ok with it...probably didn't even play with 1/4 of the stuff he has!!

Well i'm off to see what else i can clean...i have 2 finals this week so I guess I should study, but ehhhh...funner to sell stuff...haha
