I got so wrapped up in my rant about the movie “2012″, I completely forgot I was supposed to talk about my weekend. Hmm. So, here it is. My weekend in a nutshell (somewhat), and then I will continue with what has happened most recently.

On Saturday, Audi dropped me off at my cousin’s house to spend some time with the family. My mom and dad had come up from Miami. We all cut a cake and celebrated my two goddaughter’s birthdays (since the dates are so close and they actually LIKE having their parties together), and then we all gathered together for a very fun, very enjoyable game of Charades for Dummies. Yes, yes… apparently we are dummies, because some of us sucked at acting out the clues. We kept bugging my mom because she couldn’t figure out how many syllables were in each word. LOL.

After hanging out there for a while, I took the train down to Miami with my parents, and the night was pretty standard. I watched TV, ate dinner with them, and just hung out in what was once my bedroom and is now… an office/sewing room/spare bedroom. LOL.

Then, the next morning was the baptism. My best friend Chris has a few brothers; the eldest one, Brian, and his wife, Janine, were baptizing their baby girl Isabella. The baptism and mass were held in Chris’ church, which was a very… interesting experience. I’ll just say I much prefer Catholic masses; Latin hymns and ceremonial garbs evoke a lot more emotion in me than sitting in a church/lounge with a live band playing in the back. *shrug*

After that, I went shopping with my mom. I bought a bunch of earrings, and some cute shirts for work. While we were in Spencers’ she FINALLY commented on my new piercings. LOL. She asked me, “So when did you get those done?” I tell her, “Last Tuesday.” She just rolled her eyes… and that’s it! Haha. My other family members were telling me, “Oh she’s gonna flip out.” Well… hooray to my mom for proving them wrong. Later on in the evening, my parents drove me to the train station, and I was on my way home.

Now, on to what has been happening recently.

I give up on my car. It has been a downhill battle for years with me constantly on the losing side. Recently, its newest problem is the water pump; broken to the point where the car is once again, practically undrivable. After a few two truck trips and an estimate from my usual mechanics, I decided I am not going to fix the car anymore. I refuse to put any more money into that rotten lemon of a car. SO, instead, I’m looking into getting myself a new car. I’m hoping to do some car shopping this weekend with the hubby.

Just getting around everywhere has been a hassle. Audi’s car is too low, so with me in the car, it scrapes the pavement all the time. Hence, him driving me to work in his Miata was almost impossible. Fortunately for us, our friends that live near us offered us their SUV while they were away on a business trip. So, we have a mode of reliable transportation until I get a new car. Hopefully, I can get a new one by Sunday afternoon.

Anyway, that’s what’s been going on. I’m tired; I’m gonna try to catch some Z’s, Ciao!

So I had a rather interesting weekend, one that was filled with 90% happiness and 10% crap. Not a bad balance, really. I decided I needed a break from the stress and the headaches of trying to balance work with my commissions with my other life responsibilities. SO, I decided to cater to me for a little while.

On Saturday, I went shopping. I drove to Walmart first since I needed some new sports bras. The ones I had were getting too stretched out. I did some looking around in the clothing section, too. I found a pair of jeans that fit like they were painted on me. The tag said $11. I get to the register… they were actually $3. Pay dirt, baby!

My good luck just kept on coming. I found an adorable shirt at Forever 21 for $5. It’s a light pink baby-T with this awesome black lace & feather collar. I also bought an adorable bathing suit style baby-T at Hollister for $5, as well. At Claire’s, I got a killer-looking hat with this trippy skull & crossbones pattern, and I finally bought Devil May Cry 4.

I came home to find that Audi was in a very pleasant mood, and we had quite the wonderful afternoon together. To continue this spirit of cheer and content, I decided to order our favorite pizza; a Papa Johns extra large pizza with extra cheese, pepperoni, italian sausage, and roma tomatoes. This time around, though, the hubby wanted black olives on one half, as well. Really, the night just continued to get better and better.

On Sunday, our friends Arthur and Ellen had a baptism for their baby girl, Abigail. There was a mass first, then the baptism, then there would be a party at Arthur & Ellen’s house. The event went by pretty smoothly, until Audi got mad at an innocent joke I made. Ugh. From there the drama started. Luckily, it was confined to about an hour, and some heavy discussion back at our apartment. Finally, I convinced him to go to the party, stating that there are more impprtant things to worry about than our dumb fight over a dumb joke. His spirit and attitude certainly appeared to lighten up as the party progressed. After we got home, he was back to his happy, loving self. =]

Right now, I am typing this up using my WordPress iPhone app. So, if there’s any mistakes, that’s why. lol. But anyway, I have to go nite nite now.

Ciao!
