my ramblings

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.
