back to reality

Well... I made it home safe and sound Monday night. I picked up bubbas and boy was he ready to go home! Guess he got tired of Lola (my friend's dog) constantly playing with him. I had a great and horrible vacation! It started off with a headache. Just a small one at first as soon as I got to the airport. So, I bought some water and just drank. It wasn't that bad at all. I arrived safely at Long Beach airport, it was my first time flying Jet Blue, and my mom arrived shortly after. Still had a small headache, but bearable. So, as soon as my mom arrived, I asked if we can get Yoshinoya. And on the way home, we did... oh boy was I happy! (Man, now I'm craving it again)

As soon as I got to my moms, dogs were nowhere to be found. I was calling Click and he wasn't responding. Mackie was the first to arrive to greet me. Wow has she grown since the last time I saw her. As excited as I as to see her, I really wanted to see Click. I actually started video taping as soon as I got inside the house. I walked towards the stairs, and guess who I saw? It was click! He was kind of shocked and amazed I was home! He does this cute thing where he just does not no what to do with himself. He bounces all over the place, runs up and down the stairs and this time, he started whining!!! Awww, it was just too cute. He was so overjoyed that everytime I try to pet him, he runs off. As soon as I get a hold of him, I get kisses galore! Oh how I love that dog! Of course the whole entire time I was trying to get a hold of Click, Mackie jumps in front of him for attention too.

After all that excitement, I sat down, ate my Yoshinoya and chit chatted with my parents. I left later that night to pick up my 2 younger sisters so that we can head out to palm springs for cousinhood 2011. What happens in cousinhood stays only with us :-). All in all, I had a blast! The only downside was having a headache all weekend and trying every home remedy there was out there including taking Tylenol. Nothing worked! Called the advice nurse, not much they can do and I had to wait until Monday to get a call about an appointment to see a Dr. about the headaches. The advice nurse also told me if it got worse to go to the ER. Sunday came around and we were on our way back to my mom's. Well, as soon as I got to my mom's, I ran to the bathroom and started puking! Oh it was horrible! Click was so excited to see me, but I was too busy puking my brains out to even notice him. After all that fun, my mom fixed my bed and brought an ice pack for me so that I can rest. I think i slept for an hour or so, woke up with a worse headache and went downstairs. Checked my blood pressure and it was normal and told my mom that maybe I should go to the ER. Got to the ER, they couldn't do anything for me either except prescribe me anti-nausea medication. Ugh, oh well, I tried to have fun... On to working

Vacation!!

So, I'll be leaving Sacramento in a few hours and on my way to Orange County to be with my cousins and sister for 2011 cousinhood!!! I'm excited! But on my way back to my mom's house, I'm most definintly going to ask her to stop by Yoshinoya! Ohhh Yumm!!!! I miss that place soooo much, I cna't waint to have Yoshinoya!

Well, last night was the first night I didn't have bubbas with me. It was quite.... lonely... I get to see him Monday night though for sure :-) This weekend though, when I'm at my mom's, I'll be surrounded by 3 dogs! Can't wait to see them either!

Well, hopefully I'll keep you updated this weekend, but we shall see how busy we will be!

Showing?!?!

Well, I'm 13 weeks pregnant now. This Thursday will be 14 weeks and into my 2nd trimester!!! woohoo!!! I'm still tired as hell, especially lately since I haven't been sleeping well at all. As soon as I get to bed, I'd have to get up and pee! This is of course right after I went before hitting the sack... Then after having to get up off the bed to pee and back to bed again... an hour later, i have to pee again! Ugh! No wonder I have lack of sleep lately! On top of that, i've been really nauseas lately too. To the point where I actually gag and hope that I don't puke! *Cries* "the joys of being pregnant" as some women will tell me... Joys??? JOYS?!?!?! how is lack of sleep and feeling nauseas a "joy"??? I was in a deeeeeep sleep during my lunch hour today, throughout my whole lunch! I was so tired, I actually fell asleep in front of my computer 10 minutes (i think) before my lunch even started. So i decided, eh, what the hell, i'll just sleep through my lunch. Hopefully things will become better in the 2nd trimester.

Oh, and apparently I'm starting to show! WTH??? Where did this bump come from?!?!?! I wasn't expecting to actually show until I'm around 20 weeks because I am overweight (not too much, but enough that it will take me a while to actually start showing). Maybe I'm not as overweight as I thought I am? or maybe the shape of my body allows me to start showing around this time as usually women who are in their "ideal" weight start showing around this time. So I gotta start buying some tops as my shirts are really starting to piss me off because they're just too short!

So, I will be leaving Thursday early afternoon to fly down to So. Cal for the weekend! 2011 Cousinhood!!!! Now, if you're wondering what "cousinhood" is, it's our yearly get together with the female cousins (daughters of the sisters of my dad's side of the family). I can't wait and hopefully i can handle the flight! Flying jet blue for the first time too! I heard great reviews about them, so I'm excited! I'll be getting things ready tomorrow after work, packing and stuff like that. Bubbas will be staying with Aunt Mayra and Uncle Frank for the weekend with their new pup Lola. At least he'll have a friend with him, even though he's like 20x bigger than Lola. If I have time, i should visit the Palm Springs Crossfit since it's only a street away from where we will be staying. I haven't gone to crossfit at all tihs week. With the combination of tiredness and getting things ready, it's been kind of hard to do!

So, I shall close this blog and bid you all a good night as this mama is really needing some sleep!

New things are always nice!

So last night I bought an old school Minolta x-700 Camera with 3 lenses, 1 fish eye lens attachment, 3 filters, 13 rolls of black and white film, 2 color rolls and 1 infrared rolls all for $80!!! So stoked!!! It's been so long since i've played with a camera. Last time I played with a camera like that was back in HS!!!! Can't wait to see what I can come up with. Hopefully one day I can take some great pictures like a few friends of mine in socal who take amazing pictures.

Well, this week has been ok. I went to the gym once only this week. I did get to bottle my beer today! woohoo (not like i can drink it anyways) but it's a cherry wheat. When Greg gets home, he'll have some beer waiting! :) Gonna look up some recipes for another batch. Probably going to make another batch or two for the party. I'm really hoping this one turned out ok. I didn't quite follow instructions as I was kind of in a ditzy moment when brewing. I guess we shall see.

Oh, in a couple days, I'll be in so cal!!! woohoo, can't wait to see my family and close friends. Been a while, i think since Christmas. It'll be cousinhood 2011! all the female cousins will be there minus 1 :(.

Anywho, gonna wrap this up, it's late and been really tired. I hope I'm not catching a cold!
