Sunday Night

Here I sit Sunday Night not ready to go back to work AT ALL . We had a very productive weekend . House cleaning Homework . The girls and I went and got our nails did today ...pretty

Sad thing is that I failed once again as a Mexican! Gary and took a $100 trip to Ranch Market because I was hell bent on making him Menudo! Well we ended up buying everything under the sun there . So home we went to take this Menudo trip. First I call my dad the King of Mexican food and his recipe is way off than mine so I mix them both ! I mean right it should be great? NO it was not I tasted like POO...That made me sad and of course Gary was a good sport about it when I made up with Carna Asada Burritos . He is always so great about when I mess things up cooking :)

I was kinda sad after Makayla told me she wanted me to wait another year to go to court for custody and I know it all comes down to her being affraid of her Dads reaction ..I am sorry a child should never be put in that position !!
So after some wine and tears I am in a better place with it today and let her know that when she is ready I will fight for her .

So we are making our first trailer camping trip in two weeks and I cant wait !! I am so excited .

Well to all G'nite Hugs and Kisses

Week Katchup

What else would one do when Mr. Mastriana is watching "The Game"along with the rest of the world but blog about nonsense right?

So far the weekend has been great! As I wrote we went to the movies Friday ALL BY OURSELVES and I have to say it was a great movie funny emotional and sad .

Saturday we woke up and did the usual Starbucks and Yard sales :) Then ventured down to the Home and Garden show we spent about 6 hours walking around whew! But got some pretty cool stuff . We got the Sham WOW pretty much $20 shop towels . Then we came across what I thought was the greatest invention EVER ...see above It is this thingy that you rub in circular motions on your legs Wax on Wax of and BlAm it removes the hair therefore eliminating the need for shaving ...Cool right well um not so much you see it is about 700 grit sand paper that you don't really feel as you wax on wax off and now the back of my thigh is RaW and really hurts to sit on and I also have stubble today I am very disappointed :(

We did get a very cool sign for our pool that made Mr. Mastrina almost Pee himself laughing when he saw it ..Thank God for the Sham Wow ! never the less we had a great day and spent some well deserved time together .

Work is getting back to normal with my new boss Jenny even though I still miss Tisha as my lead she still helps when I need it and Jenny is really into teaching you new stuff . She is intending on nominating my for the Manager in Training this year and I think I am up for the challenge :)

I am throwing in some useless pictures one is my little LaLa and her new Raincoat a must for Arizona right? My 2do's for the day are Laundry Homework and to recover Ms. Makayla's Headboard .

OK I was almost done but remembered a talk Gary and I had after church today while driving home and it was about life change and why we love each other he described all the things he loved about me and how we put all the priorities in life in line the right way and it just seems to work out somehow and how happy both of us are at the directions our life is now going in . I really would suggest to remember to let your loved one every once in a while what you love about that and why :) I think we all need to hear that sometimes and not just take it for granted that the other one knows .

With that said off to my chores ..Peace Out my friends

OHhhhhhh I am so excited Gary and I get to go on a date tonight which has been wat to long! With buying the new Trailer and Truck then X-mas and kids we have had much extra. So a friend hooked us up with tickets and we are going to see Gran Torino I am a huge Eastwood fan so it should be great ,

Then maybe dinner by then I will be so tired Mr Mastriana will take me by the hand and put me to bed. True Love does still happen .
I think we are going to the Home and Garden Show Saturday and just chillen on Sunday watching THE game !
Maybe if I get to bored I will blog tomorrow and post new pictures . Everyone have a great night

May the New Year come with all that the life has in

2009 I have great expectations for this year! First I want to reflect on last year a little, As many of you know Gary closed his company 3 weeks after we got married. But was able to get a new job as Project Manager for Honeywell this move alone has taken so much stress off our relationship. We now carpool everyday to work get a regular paycheck and work is done at 5:00pm :) No don't get me wrong we are still trying to play catch up on bills with loss of the company but it is worth every bit of sacrifice.
Makayla has continued to get so beautiful and mature this year it is amazing and she is no longer plotting Gary's death in his sleep ..lol . She is expressing more and more her desire to come and live with us so we will be diligently working on that this year I really think at the age she needs her mother more and more.
James is still very standoffish towards me nut all I can do is be patient.
David has clanged
so much since moving in with us I think it is great he works hard and goes to school and has even become so much more patient with his little sister ..whew...

My job at UOP is still going well and I did receive a couple of promotions but have found out that my beloved boss is moving to a different team and that is very hard to deal with still .

This year will be great I can feel lots of camping trips swimming and family time :)
So to sum this up here are Gary and Cleas resolutions for 2009

Clea -
1.Stop Smoking I know I always say this but I really really need to !
2.Loose weight I have found out I may have a tumor that is causing weight gain but I need to be proactive at this point and try to loose it myself
3. Practice forgiveness -Life is to short to live in the past
4. Love More -enough said

Gary
1. Quit smoking
2.Loose weight
3. Get healthy enough to get off all medications and get diabetes under control . To be able to spend the rest of my life with the woman I have waited my whole life for .
Please feel free to share any of your resolutions with me and maybe we can work on them together
