arianna and her brother shopping for toys

arianna and toby

one that i can get along with
one that isn't unusually close to his child(ren)'s mother
one that sees nurturing a relationship as a priority
one that takes the time to call when it isn't necessary, just because
one that likes to spend time just watching movies
one that can actually watch girlie movies from time to time
one that shares my interests but also has some of their own
one that doesn't do drugs like it's their job
one that has ambitions
one that doesn't sit on their duff all day and go out to the pubs as soon as i get home
one that thinks friends are important but not more important than family
one that communicates
one that is able to live independently but can succeed in an environment where we work 'together' to get things done
one that is considerate
one that is understanding
one that can be sensitive when necessary
one that isn't a jerk
...mind you all these qualities i want wrapped up in one man, not a separate man for each.

don't mind me, just ranting and raving like a lunatic because of 'a man.' bah!

i think i've fully caught up on everyone's blogs and comments i've been left. i've neglected the blog community for about a week or so and was in terrible need of catching up. consider me caught up...and back to blogging.

k...gotta run. need food.

so it's been awhile since i've posted...or really been around so here's a new blog from me that i wrote up yesterday:

aside from running around like a chicken with my head cut off yesterday and dealing with familial drama, the day was good. lots of laughs. lots and lots of laughs. my brother joined my little sister and i, my mom and arianna at my parents house and we had fun. after my mom burned the chicken i went out and finished up the porkchops on the grill and did the chicken thighs. we ate tons of food and if anyone knows us when we are together, we are a bunch of comedians. classic bustos/reyes good times. i've posted a couple pictures of yesterday. we also went to see my grandma over at countryside. today i'm stopping off to put some money on her account to get her hair and nails done. i'm sure she'll like that. we took her some flowers and sat with her for awhile. she has dementia so she really doesn't too much remember who we are but she still thought we were a funny bunch. she laughed at us while she was eating. then i showed her my tongue ring...an older mexican woman seeing a tongue ring on her granddaughter...let me tell you!! she told me to take it out. haha. so i did. then she kept looking at me so i would show her my tongue with the bar out. lol. she's so cute.

we left there around 6 o'clock and then i went home. arianna hung out upstairs watching movies on her new bratz tv. she says her bedroom is like her own little living room, "it's so cool!" i'm glad she likes it. i put up a picture of her and her brother deshea while we were at toys r us shopping. they had SO much fun! arianna wanted to "spend her money wisely," she said. wow!

i get a three day weekend this week which is good news for me. i will be going with arianna to her field trip monday in castalia to a place called 'back to the wild.' that should be fun. on friday it's off to the movies with arianna and deshea to see prince caspian. i'm excited about that. other than that, not too much going on except hanging out with friends, relaxing and waiting for my summer session to start in june.

i'm just going to go character by character because it's so much easier. this is the first episode i've watched this season...i totally skipped last season because i hated watching meredith's sister and now i'm picking up again after last night. so, here goes:

meredith/derek: stupid. i'm so tired of seeing meredith not be able to make up her mind on whether she wants him or not. obviously he's a great guy on the show dummy so be with him already. derek seeing the other chick...dumb. but i guess if derek moves on then meredith can move on at some point and then it creates a new 'jealousy' storyline or something. all in all, they should just be together already!

christina: annoying and a cry baby. that's all i have to say about her.

izzie: she's cool. no problems with her other than it sucks to have george in her group of interns but you figured that would happen right?

alex/rebecca pope: did i even get her first name right? aw, who cares? she's the crazy lady that is obviously starting the 'i'm gonna be crazy stalker' storyline. she wants alex and she's lying about the pregnancy to get him back...da da duuuuummmm....all i know is that now izzie knows the lie and she'd better tell alex asap and not do the whole 'should i tell him or should i let him find out on his own' thing.

george: for some reason i see him and meredith's little sister getting together. i dunno, we'll see. anyways, he bothers me. probably because he's with a new group of friends and it seems wierd. it seems like he's intentionally extricated himself from the group because he wants to lick his wounds with the other interns. so when he becomes a resident does that mean he'll want to be friends with the old group again? i say you're friends with who you're friends with. that's it. he's a cry baby.

dr hahn/callie: hilarious! that's the best way i can describe it. i could see the 'lesbian' storyline a mile away. they were too touchy. callie obviously had no clue. i loved the way she's all over dr. sloan's nuts though. super. dr. hahn's totally gonna be jealous now and i can see a 'friction' and 'jealousy' storyline developing there.

dr. sloan: he's cute and all and i usually have no issues with him other than he's obviously the hospital whore. i was getting very annoyed last night at his extreme overuse of calling himself God. it got a little dumb after awhile.

did i miss anybody?

oh yeah, the short doctor....FECK! i forgot her name...they called her the nazi back in the day. bugger, it's gonna bother me now.

anyhow, i feel sad for her. she seems to have nobody. all alone. *sigh* that's too bad. she's really nice.

so what have i concluded after all of this grey's anatomy observation? i still LOVE this show.

oh, and a complete aside that has absolutely nothing to do with grey's...i cut toby's ear last night on accident while trimming his hair. it bled like a motherfucker! i felt so bad. even though he was stinky and needed a bath REALLY bad i felt so guilty i held him and put a cloth with pressure to his ear until it stopped bleeding. he's better now though...and still stinky. definitely needs a bath before tomorrow.

i've been pretty busy towards the end of last week and haven't blogged on here much or kept up with anyone else's blogs but today...i'll be doing catch up. here's my blog from earlier this week...

on my blogs. sunday was a pretty quiet day at home. i'm still trying to get used to the idea of not having to go to any classes. later that day i got off my duff and went to a cookout with friends old and new. that was loads of fun! felicia, you make me laugh. angel was raving about the ribs and i didn't even get any. smiley was waiting for his buddy chad to show up. i saw joe, swam in his pool back, back in the day when his cousin lived with me. and a couple new people, one i got to finally put a face with the name after all these years of hearing stories about him.

i also got to hear a voice from the past, yes, mr. grant. good hearing from you man!! you'll have to call me back when you get a free chance. i'm free every afternoon just waiting around for things to do...mostly, i'm just chillin' reading a book or being a veg infront of the tv. as far as that trilogy is concerned, yes, yes, yes, i definitely want to get it. arianna has a field trip to the library on thursday so i might venture out there with her and pick up book number one. i'm sure it's stacked with WAY more info than the movie, like why people get certain demons, if they're suited to character, personality or what?

onto other things....i'll be going shopping this weekend with kenny...and amanda if she can make it. arianna and deshea will be with me. we're doing the mothers day thing and arianna's going out and spending her gift cards. she got about $250 in gift cards not to mention how mommy spoils her anyways when we go out. chances are i'll end up spending my money and tell her to save her cards. she's a good kid, she deserves it. we're gonna go see nim's island i think...not sure. next weekend though is prince caspian...erica, you game? let me know.

yesterday just went over to angels house and hung with felicia, chad, erica and angel. good times, good fun. gotta love picture mail. completely inside joke but three other people know what i'm talking about so it's all good. all in all, life is good and i am genuinely happy. alrighty, gotta go, call me, i've got TONS of free time until june 9th!!

my grades have been posted and my spring semester is done!  i got that 4.0 i've wanted since i got my first b.   but all is well now and i'm happy.  i can finally enjoy my time off...until june. gotta keep the nose to the grindstone, gotta make it happen.

i used to watch a show called 'the worst witch' about a young witch named mildred. i wonder if they still show that? i don't know what made me think of it...just popped right into my head this morning for no reason...maybe i miss my childhood.
