Zombies and Chombie

I just thought of my Halloween, i was mentally roadblocked for the longest time and I couldn't think of anything or anyone to dress up as and then inspiration hits me, at work of all places. I usually cannot get passed the robotic, mundane, day to day, tasks, anyways!
Gato and I are sitting in the truck during our lunch and were messing with the radio, re programing all our stations (for reasons I will divulge in another day, or not) and "Dreaming of You" starts playing, I have not heard this song in 10 years and then Gato starts changing the station in the middle of the song and he hits a Spanish radio station and "Biddi Biddi Bom Bom" is playing, I go wild, I mean I loved Selena, we all did back in the day. I kept singing her songs through out the day (along with Yellow Submarine, which I am teaching Luna, she knows the chorus).
Earlier that day Gato came across the coolest online event at work, its a...get this...Zombie Prom 2009! How cool is that, I have been wanting to be a Zombie but not just any old Zombie.
So I am going to be Selena and a Zombie!!!
I think me dressing up as Selena Zombie will be awesome and all kinds of wrong!
Let's see how it turns out! I hope I have the time and most important I hope my sis can help me with the make up, most of the time my costumes are home made, which are the best. With a little imagination and a lot of liquid courage, I'm ready to start offending the world...dressed up as one Zombie at a time.

Lazy Daze

I have been too lazy and uninspired to write. I had a fabulous week last week and it doesn't feel right to have to go back to work after getting married. I wish I could take a looong honeymoon and travel around the world, go shopping and eat at outside cafes. I would like to go visit museums and take walks in fragrant gardens, shoot Polaroid and people watch.
Gato and I are going to save up enough vacation time to take two weeks off next summer and go up north and Midwest.

Birthday and Wedding in the same week.

My birthday was yesterday, dirty 30!
I am also going to be getting married (again...and in front of witnesses) on Saturday Oct 17.
I am excited to be celebrating this new chapter in my life with all my friends and family. I know I sound so cheesey and before I let this post become full of cliches I will stop.
I went out to lunch with my dad and Gato, we went to an all you can eat Japanese buffet. That's a sample of my dessert plate up top.
I went shopping with my sisters and bought a new blue cardi and a navy striped tunic (which I'll wear as a dress). An H&M just opened up at Del Amo, now I don't have to go all the way to Beverly Center! I'll post pics of my new purchases later. I gotta go get ready for the day, my father -in -law flies in from Alaska this afternoon and my friend Ian is driving down from SF. He is going to be the best man and maid of honor...lol!
Let the Festivities begin!

Masked Jedi

I went to the emergency room last nite. I was having a severe panic attack and a mild asthma attack. The ER doctor said colds can sometimes lead to asthma like breathing problems. He prescribed a inhaler for me. I am going to stop smoking too. I am mostly a social smoker but I should stop all the same.
Weirdest part of the nite, calling Logan my husband in public.
Smart Ass part of the nite, telling the doc our religious preference was Jedi.
Had to make a joke, Gato always makes me laugh and he is the only one who puts up with my hypochondriac ass.

Soup Weather

It cooled down a bit today and I made Caldo De Res. It was delicious, if I say so myself. I really hope the weather stays this way for a while, I love the summer and I love the long days it brings, but I am now ready for a change of pace and mood. I would like to make my little apartment a bit more cozy and have lovely smells of fresh veggies and home cooked meals floating through the rooms. I was able to relax today and eat my yummy beef stew while watching a movie on Netflix.
This is Gatos last week working weekends, I am really happy about this change, now we will be able to sleep in together and enjoy our first fall and holiday as a family.

Femme Fatale

What is it about a song that you have heard over and over and then one day it starts playing on your ipod and its like your listening to it for the first time. You can see the recording of the song in your head, you imagine the ice blond queen, breathing and enunciating into her mic, beautiful and perfect-all in one take.
The tamborine and the guitar sound so clear and the choir chimes in..."she's a femme fatale"
Right now this is my favorite song. This minute, this hour, for the last 7 repeats.
