Christians fabulous 2 part birthday celebration

So I’m sitting here reminiscing how much fun I had on my birthday this year. The only thing that was forgotten was the birthday cake so we are going to have to do it all over again. Ha ha ha! But really my birthday was so much fun we started the evening by getting ready for the Company Christmas party. I was going for the total rockabilly look. I had a cute polka dotted dress my hair was in a pouf with bangs, I had my pinup girl makeup the key component to my look were my crazy rockabilly wolf beater pumps. Omg how I love those shoes. They are incredibly comfortable I didn’t think they would be I usually can’t walk in heels but these were pretty easy to walk in. I felt totally awesome. So anyways Mark was rushing me and freaking out about being late and then when we got in the car and put the destination on his GPS in his phone I laughed because Brenner’s on the Bayou is right down the street from my apartments. When we got there they had valet and they walked us to the third floor where our room was beautiful and it was linked to a terrace that over looked the garden and ponds and also had a beautiful little path that led to a quaint little gazebo that was covered in twinkling lights it was beautiful. The entire garden had cute, romantic twinkling lights I was glad Mark was with me to share this beautiful romantic experience with me.

Picture this in white, with gold and deep red accents

we were on the third floor and picture all of this building and garden area covered in twinkling lights. Isnt it gorgeous?

This is Mark and I a snap shot someone from the office took of us. Sadly we didnt take any pictures ourselves. What were we thinking!

The room was beautiful as well I loved it I’m glad I didn’t miss it. I love my boss he is the most amazing, sweetest, intelligent man with such a passion for what he does. I love working for him because I’ve never met a man with such fervor and ambition before and it’s a pleasure working for him, because it makes you want to be as passionate about it all as well.

Anyways the food was amazing we all got there around the same time.We were all just drinking since it was an open bar by the time we were about to start eating I was super tipsy and we left the party at around 11pm because that was when Mycheal called that she was already at the apartment.

So we said our goodbyes and we leave, we get home and it’s Mycheal and Brittany but no Marisa. Brittany is super fun to hangout with so I’m glad she decided to celebrate my birthday with us it was just a little sad that Marisa couldn’t come. After we went in and I changed I quickly forgot about being sad and went straight into party mode lol.

PaRtY mOdE

I got dressed and since I was a little tipsy ha ha ha I felt super sassy and ready to party. We went to Montrose and we found parking pretty quickly so we started walking to Poison Girls. When we walked we were goofing off in the street being super tempted to steal Christmas decorations out of peoples lawns but we got to the bar quickly ha ha ha. When we got there I was scared and excited to go in because it kind of looked super shady since it used to be a tattoo parlor and it had a burlesque feel to it. When we walk in it was totally not what I expected it was so boring. The people were super stuck up hipsters and the music really sucked. Plus I saw my next door neighbor there and he kind of freaks me out because he’s not friendly at all and that’s exactly the vibe I felt from that place. NOT FRIENDLY!!!  So we had one drink and we smoked a cigarette outside, I went to the restroom with Mycheal and then we booked it to Hipsterville aka Boondocks whoop whoop. Now this place definitely felt like home. I loved it the guys and girls there were super cute well most of them, the DJ was awesome, the drinks were good and there was a nice dark place to sit where we could listen to music and just chill or like us goof off and take tons of pictures.

This is Brittany and me of course

Mark and I (I think you can alredy tell Im tipsy!!!)

 ALL OF US (Mark, Me, Britt and Mychael)

 Going a little too far( just the way I like it lol)

 Mychael and I im growling at her he he he!

 Pushing away unwanted company ha ha ha

 He got caught looking at my boobs he he he

 Brittany and I are the growlers he he he

Then pretty close to leaving after some heavy drinking Brittany and I go up to the bar because she has a crush on the bartender so we go order more drinks. He hooked her up! Hooked her up so well that none of us could drink the drink because of how much alcohol he put in it to get her drunk enough to talk to her ha ha ha.

These are some pictures of the faces we made when we took a sip…

Brittany taking it like a champ

Mychael almost spitting it out he he he

 It was very hard to swallow it burned my eyes and throat ha ha ha

I guess the part of the night that made me realize just how much Mark loves me and scared me a bit was when we all got up to get me a cup of water and as Brittany and I are standing at the bar some freak show comes up to me and hugs me and says " hey baby how are you" it took me a second to realize it wasnt Mark but it didnt take Mark long to get in the guys face and tell him to back off. Whoa you should have seen the fury in Mark's eyes it was madness.

THEN IT WAS LAST CALL AND WE WERE OUT OF THERE.

SO I LEAVE YOU WITH THESE PICS...

Have a great night guys and ghouls!!!

My birthday with the Familia

Im so happy to have such a united family. Even though we don’t all live together we all love eachother so very much. For my birthday my grandparents wanted me to come over so bad but they didn’t want to call and be disappointed because I couldn’t come because of work. I work two jobs because Iam so scared to be poor and lose my apartment or something so I over work. I work mon thru fri 8am to 5pm at a landscaping company as a receptionist and mon – sun (sporadically I don’t work every day I get 2 days off but there is never a set schedule) I work from 6pm to 1030 pm at Starbucks. I never have time for anything fun and I never have days off with my friends so I mostly spend my extra time at home chillaxing lol.

So this day I had my birthday off and it was a Monday. My sister kept calling me so when I got off of work I called her back and she told me to come over because my grandfather got me a surprise not knowing if I had the day off or not.  So I picked up Mark and we went to my grandparents house. It was awesome he got me a really yummy cake. He was going to get me my favorite pie which is a strawberry crème pie from Flying Saucer’s but they are closed on Mondays (just my luck). So instead he got me a strawberry crème cake from who knows where the important thing is that it was super yummy. I also got to celebrate my birthday with my favorite little guy in the world…. My nephew wolfie (Aliver james)

My grandparents and I

My tito and my adorable nephew wolfie

He wants to blow out my candles lol

he decides against it so I blow them out

He gives Mark the stink eye

Hes just so hugable

He likes to show you all his seefood ha ha ha

He is so cute and such a little devil I love him so much. This was a great birthday always celebrating with the people I care about the most.

December the best month of the year

OMG OMG its already December!!!! It’s my favorite time of the year because all of the important people were born on this month Brittney Spears, Mila Jovavich, Christina Aguilera, Jared Leto, Jesus, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Jim Morrison and ME!!! Ha ha ha… 

 Anyways Im soooo excited I LOVE my birthday I don’t understand why people sometimes hate to celebrate their birthdays it’s a good time of the year. It’s the day they were brought onto this earth to live a beautiful purposeful life!!! I love it

I just realized that many artists that I love and I think are talented are born in December!!! And that’s because Sagittarians rock!!!

We are totally awesome people one of the girls from work sent this to me today and I share it with you:

I seriously cant wait till my birthday weekend. It sucks because my friends had planned for a 2 day event which was Friday and Saturday. Friday after work is when it was all going to start and then it wasn’t going to end until Sunday morning. They took off from work and everything but it isn’t going to happen because Friday night is when I will have my company Christmas party and I cant miss that. I wish I could but I have to like at least show up to keep the boss happy since he did spend a lot of money to make it happen.

So instead I will have my best friend Haley come over and do my hair, then Im going to do my makeup and get dressed, wait for my boyfriend and then off we go to make our fabulous grand appearance at the Christmas party. Then we are leaving there around 1030 and getting back to the apartment so we can change and wait for my friends Mycheal and Marisa to come over so we can start my birthday celebration!!!

We decided to go drinking at Poison Girls and Boondocks so we will be going back and forth from one amazing place to the other. Ive never been to either so this will be a first for me and Im super excited XD!!!

So then on Saturday we are waking up early and Im thinking about making pancakes or maybe just hobbling my happy hungover self to IHOP with the girls and the pook to eat some good breakfast. Then go back home and get ready for our big day which will consist of us going to the zoo (its tradition that started back in 2005 on my bday), having a lunch picnic, going shopping or window browsing on Westheimer street, 19^th street and the galleria and then dinner and drinks or a movie, best of all will be my bday cake and wish!!! I cant wait to just be with my friends and my lovey yay for birthdays and a day that really is just about ME!!!

Traditions Never Die

So because I have a Mexican family and I was raised by my grandparents that are from Monterrey Nuevo Leon we really didn’t follow any “American” holidays! My mom had to work a lot when I was a kid and I remember on Thanksgiving when all my friends were excited about eating turkey and celebrating with their family I was always bummed because my sister and I never got to celebrate it. As I grew older it just didn’t seem so important to me anymore. My mom started to not work Holidays but she never wanted to cook so instead she started our very own thanksgiving tradition which was. Waking up super early to go to the thanksgiving parade, go home and she would make us a good breakfast and we would watch movies all day with her until about 6pm when she would take us to the Christmas lighting of Post Oak and they had like their own mini Christmas parade. She would go to a drive thru pizza place and order us a large pizza and a liter of coke with 3 cups and we would have a mini picnic in her car as we drove down to go look at all the houses that had Christmas lights up. Then she would take us to a thanksgiving movie and that was our tradition. I loved it, this was the most fun ever because I got to spend time with my always working mom.

Now that Im older and my mother has been remarried for the past 10 years I skip Thanksgiving all together. Since 2007 I started to work on major holidays so I wouldn’t have to deal with family drama and that was awesome getting away from it all. So this Thanksgiving that I spent with Mark is the first one in almost 4 years. It was a lot of fun being around him but I did make him go with me to a movie because I will never let that tradition die.

I forced him to go see Burlesque with me and I thought the move was ok. The costume and dancing and glamour of it all is what drew me in like a moth to light and that’s when I decided that I wanted to be a Burlesque dancer ha ha ha. Of course that will never fly with Mark but it’s a good dream right? I mean they are so beautiful and their costumes and shoes and makeup and hair is just amazing and their bodies are gorgeous from all of the dancing I want to be a burlesque dancer.

Holiday.... Celebrate

Well Thanksgiving was pretty awesome. I got up pretty early to finish baking a really low fat vanilla crème and pumpkin cheesecake which is off of hungry Girls website. I was way too tired to finish it up on Wednesday so I woke up early to finish it on Thursday.  Anyway so I cleaned the apartment played with waffle and then started to get ready to go over to Mark’s house to meet his mother. I was so freaking nervous about this you know how it is to meet the parents of someone youre dating, its freaking awful and nerve wrecking. I made caramel pumpkin muffins to take over to her house so I wouldn’t go empty handed plus I was always told that is great if you bring something over (they were AMAZING). My family really never celebrates Thanksgiving so I really don’t know about this.

OMG I just remembered this awful nightmare I had the night before meeting his mom it was about Mark and one of his friends Anabelle, it was probably because I was so stressed out about meeting his mother and Anabelle at the same time.

 Ok so a little background information. I met Mark 4yrs ago in college it was my second year there. Well he wasn’t actually in school with me he was a friend of a friend and I met him at a gathering at my friend’s house. We dated back then but it didn’t even last a month, it was a very sad sad relationship and I broke his heart. I told him that I needed a break from him and then I never contacted him again, I wouldn’t answer phone calls, text messages, MySpace messages (MySpace was super popular back then) nothing. I wanted him to just disappear because I didn’t want to think I had hurt anyone. I was stupid and naïve back then. Well anyways after that all of his friends hated me obviously because of this but Anabelle I felt hated me even more because her sister hated me. We actually got back together because even after 4yrs I felt guilty for what I had done to him and a part of me I guess really did love him because I would think about him all the time. So one day on Facebook I saw a random picture of him and he was tagged in it so I knew he had a facebook and so I wrote him an apology through facebook. I didn’t know how else to contact him so I figured this was a good plan and I totally wasn’t expecting anything from this I just wanted to apologize maybe then I could stop thinking about him. So he accepted my apology and we started hanging out and 4 months later here we are. I love him so much and I really cant think of my life without him, he is my everything.

Ok so back to my story so my nightmare was…

I go over to Mark’s house I already know Anabelle we have talked several times, gone out on double dates, we get along pretty well, we are friends only because our boyfriends are best friends so it was kind of like a familiar setting. So I start talking to her as usual and I can tell something is up because she has some weird look on her face like she wants to tell me something and then I notice Mark is acting weird and I take her outside so I can have a cigarette and we start talking and she starts to talk about Mark and then it kind of hits me. She is totally in love with my boyfriend and something has happened and she wants to tell me so I question her over and over and then she finally tells me that she has slept with Mark. They slept together last night while I was at my apartment baking for this stupid lunch with his mother, she stayed over and they slept together and my mouth freaking dropped and I fell to my knees crying. I didn’t understand because she was dating his best friend Curtis and Mark is with me so I just couldn’t understand how they could ruin 2 relationships. I quickly got over my sadness and it all turned to anger and I told her I knew something was going on all along but she fucked up and if she wasn’t going to tell Curtis I was. I asked her if she was always in love with Mark and she started crying and she said No. She said that Mark had confessed to her that he was always in love with her and Curtis didn’t treat her like she deserved. He told her he was only with me because he was tired of being alone but he really loved her and now she really loved him. I quickly went inside and Mark was playing video games with Curtis and smiled at me and I smiled back and I grabbed my purse and left gracefully my face covered in tears makeup running down my face. Curtis not Mark chased after me and asked me what was wrong and was hugging me and I just turned to him and said ask Anabelle I’m sure she will be glad to tell you and I kissed him on the cheek got into my car and drove away.

Then I woke up crying!!! I know it was a dream and none of it is true but it felt so freaking real and when I woke up, I felt like it really had taken place I was so confused. I didn’t even know what to think because it was the same setting that was going to be on Thanksgiving so I was a little worried and I didn’t want to go after that dream I didn’t want it to come true. Anyways it actually went really well, I got there on time Anabelle was late and so was Curtis. I love Curtis he seems like a sweet person. Whenever I was having problems with Mark working out of town and I was missing him and thinking about giving up on our relationship. Curtis was the one that talked to me and gave me reasons to keep trying, reassured me of Mark’s love for me. I know that Mark reassured me too but I needed advice from someone who knew him better than I did and who loved him and would want the best for him. So I like Curtis and I know that he is a true friend to Mark. Anabelle is actually really cool, nothing like her sister who hated me. She really does remind me of like a girl version of Mark with fashion skills, I like her. I wish we could be friends, hopefully in the future we can be, she seem like such an interesting and talented person. Im glad everything is in the past and I really had nothing to worry about, and my dreams/nightmares are just nightmares!!!

Meeting Mark’s mom and Anabelle actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Marks’s mom was actually down to earth and really nice. She took us both to go eat at Bennihana’s on Friday and then to the Nutcracker. She even bought me a hot pink Tiara and didn’t say a word because I wore it as if I were a five year old. Ha ha ha she accepted my weirdness at least to my face who know what she was thinking on the inside. All in all it was a good holiday break.

My Hunny Bunny's Birthday

So yesterday was my babycakes birthday and I wanted to be the best girlfriend ever and just surprise him with a dinner, cake and small gift.
What really ended up happening was that I freaking missed him way too much and I called him to come home early, so he was at home watching TV and keeping me company while I played housewife in the Kitchen.

This was the first meal I had actually ever cooked on my own and I got the recipe off of Paula Deans recipes off of the Food Network. The meal turned out ok... I made him loaded mashed potatoes which I added mucho ucho cheese because Iam a cheeseaholic, I made baked macaroni and cheese, and meat loaf.

Everything tasted really good except for the meatloaf, I dont know but I dont think that meat should come shaped like a log and just be gooey like it was. He was so excited and it made me so happy, if he really didnt like his meal he never showed me that he didnt like it. This is why I love him.
Anyways I was so rushed to finish the food that when I was baking I didnt really have time to let the cake cool and when I put the icing on it, it just started melting off and separating. I should have known better I mean I did go to baking school for goodness sake but I didnt care I was tired and hungry and when I get hungry everything starts to go black and I get mean ha ha ha. So the cake was a bit of a disaster but it did taste good and thats all that matters.

After he blew out the candles...

 and then butchered his mess of a cake...

(I cant believe you can see a picture of me as the background on his phone ha ha ha)
Mark is like the hardest person to buy gifts for but I managed to get him somethings that he might like.
I got him a plain silver zippo lighter
A keychain set with a cupcake and a muffin. I got the muffin and he got the cupcake so when he sees his keys he will always think of me. HES MY MUFFIN AND IM HIS CUPCAKE!!!
I also got him a promise ring it was a cheapy ring from Aldo's but it was pretty cool looking and I think he liked it.

After it all he started playing with my feet and pretending to eat my toes while I was trying to relax on the floor in front of the TV. I love my goofey boyfriend he is just too cute

All in all I think I gave him a good birthday. He told me that he hates to celebrate his birthday and me being me who loves to celebrate just about anything had to change his mind. I love my muffin!!!
