... Am I bitch for thinking that if you are a professional/self-employed person, that goes to different businesses for your job, that its cool to drag your kid with you!? When I say kid, I mean a child under the age of, oh, let's say 7. I understand there are circumstances that come up & you may need to drag the kid with you yet what if you worked in an office building or a factory? You couldn't take your kid to work with you. I also find it VERY unprofessional when you are trying to make an impression with someone that you can't find a baby sitter or day care to watch your kid for those few hours you're away???
Like I said, I understand shit comes! For instance, when LBS & I were younger, we would sometimes have to go to school with my mom. At first, it was boring as HELL yet I just finally sucked it up & started to help out around the classroom or see if any other teachers needed help yet I was old enough to help out! What input is a 4-5 year old going to make to his interior designer mom?!?!
So seriously, am I a bitch for thinking/feeling this way???
Me.

It's that time of the year again!
During tax season, I go with my dad to do taxes out of our house. We travel all around! This is me telling of our adventures/experience through out the day:
9:48- We're leaving! On our way to my favorite day of the season- Hemet/UPS day! :)
10:57- So we're at the first house in actually San Jacinto (next to Hemet)... These people are very nice & welcoming yet you can see/tell there's tension between the husband & wife... Between the issue w/ their house (being worth less than half of what they paid for it)!, the "rental" that they helped a family member (who's illegal!) & having a 19 year old who's now a dad yet finds getting a "cool car w/ no license" more important than the baby, man, it would have taken the jaws of life to cut tension! Side eyes all around! Nice people though... I hope everything does work out for them... On to the next house...
12:23- So now we're at the 2nd house... This guy is always the first person to call EVERY year! Once again, super nice people yet the wife got laid off & the husband had his hours cut at work...
See this is what I'm fearing- this year is going to be one LONG depressing season... I hope I'm wrong yet so far w/ just these 2 houses, let alone the other houses my dad has gone to this year, its going to be bad... Still a nice visit with them... Cute lil girl & expecting another one in May... Leaving in a few...
7:01- Ok, I had to stop for awhile cuz every house we were going to, it was the same story- refinancing/getting a house (a mortgage) within the last few years & now not being able to afford to payments OR are pissed that the value of their house has been cut in HALF!!! It was getting really depressing, especially hearing these stories or even worse- god forbid this OFFICIALLY becomes a Depression, the thought of desperation that will become rampant & the violence that would most likely occur... It would be, of course, to help others eat & stay alive yet people would go to dire situations to do so...
So I have decided that I need to look into the nice/good things that have happened at each house we've gone to b/c if I continue to share what's going on with each house, it'll become repetitive & we'll all want to off ourselves, some how, some way!!!
Here are some highlights of the day:
-Starting in San Jacinto, I got to play & hold a 7 week old pit bull named Tyson & got to talk to talk to & see one of my favorite clients! They're the ones that have spread the word around this area & thanks to them, that's how this day has also became "UPS day" as well!
-In Hemet, went to see another guy who has also spread the word around about my dad for YEARS & told us the story of how he became a "feeder" for awhile for UPS... A feeder is someone who drives kind of cross country & back within 24-36 hours... He would drive from here to Des Moines, IA! Crazy stuff but it was pretty interesting. He's also always very organized & we're usually done in about 20-30 mins but we also stay for a few mins to talk...
-In Sun City, I had the best.coffee.EVER!!! Oh my god, it was fantastic! Between it being french vanilla & then having the Delight creamer, which is the BEST brand creamer, that the flavor was chocolate caramel, I had 4 cups!!! No joke! It also curbed my appetite & sweet tooth for about an hour longer...
-Going to Nuevo, I got to play with a Boston terrier named "Zapito", which means "bull frog" in Spanish... He was an absolute sweetheart & was very well behaved! :)
-When we ended up in Perris, I went to get a bite to eat for my dad & I... Took longer to get food than it did for my dad to finish the tax return & I was barely gone!
We're now in Moreno Valley & it seems like these people have their heads on straight! Asking the right questions & doing shit right... Its nice. :)
Alright, on our way to the last 2 houses...
9:05- At the last house! :) Before this house, we were at this house that literally took 22:04 minutes! Why do I know the exactly time? I was in the car & on the phone returning my mom's call! My dad did say that this guy wouldn't take too long & he was right! He also mentioned that the guy is doing alright & was even able to contribute a few grand into his IRA!!! That's pretty woot!
So here we are at the end of the night & I'm actually meeting this man for the first time ever yet this is like at least my 2nd or 3rd time here! The reason being that this man is a VERY hard working man! He works at an IV making plant and then goes to work at the Disneyland Hotel in the room service dept.! I just asked my dad why he was home this time & he said that the guy mentioned in passing that he gave some of his hours to some people who wanted to make a lil extra cuz they need it more than him... Now that's nice...
My dad also mentioned that he may want to go to another house after this but I think its too late! We'll see though...
9:24- BTW- the guy just informed me of this site called "watch-movies.net"... According to him, you can see any movie you want on there, even movies that are about to be released into the theaters! I'm going to have to check it out when I get home!
9:48- We're leaving! On our way to my favorite day of the season- Hemet/UPS day! :)
10:57- So we're at the first house in actually San Jacinto (next to Hemet)... These people are very nice & welcoming yet you can see/tell there's tension between the husband & wife...

11:06- After a 13 hour day, I am now laying in bed! Granted the situations in most of the people we went to see weren't the best yet we all tried to make the best of it!
Until next weekend...

A year ago today.....
....Heath Ledger passed away. There are so many reasons why I remember the date, let alone the time I found out- @ 1:45 pm PST, about 5 minutes after it was posted on TMZ. I remember being in such shock that it really didn't hit me until later that night when the horrible, disgusting & ignorant baptist church group from who knows where in the south decided that they wanted to protest his funeral. They wanted EVERYONE to know that since he played a gay character that this was God's way of punishing him. They were going to basically be there to make a ruckus & inform everyone that he was going to burn in Hell. I was blown away when I saw that & it was then that it hit me. It made me think of all the other work he had done and then I just sat in bed & started to just cry. I was & in a way, still am a mess over his passing. I don't know if it was that he was only a few years older than me or that him & the amazing talent he had were now gone.
I, being the Queen of all knowing gossip & info in entertainment, remember seeing when they announced he was going to be the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie. I was skeptical yet when I saw his make up/appearance in pre-production pics & heard all the acclaim he was already getting before the movie even wrapped up, I had a feeling it was going to be amazing. Hell, I even remember people saying he should get an Oscar nod BACK THEN! So for people assuming he's getting all this attention now, just because of his passing, you're wrong.
Below is a clip from the movie that not only introduced us to the person that was Heath yet made me & others see how great he was:

What would you do??? Vol. I
So here's the deal- Granted, everything went to shit but if you were in a relationship & it ended VERY bad, would you want anything that would remind you of the relationship? I've gotten rid of mostly everything yet there are a few entries on here that are about him & how "fabulous & fantastic" he is..... I want to delete them yet isnt the point of having a blog/
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
By the way-
If I really got to choose who I really wanted to run this country, here are the 3 I would have written in for President, VP & Speaker of the House:


For President: Bubba "Numbs" Suarez
Age: 6 1/2
Breed: 110% mutt (his mom was a slut!)

Breed: 110% mutt (his mom was a slut!)

Qualifications- Leader of the pack & has been with us since he was 5 weeks old. He listens & understands what we tell him. Taught himself to go "potty" outside at the age of 8-10 weeks. When he got fixed & they put the infamous "cone" around his neck, he not only learned how to get out of it but he got one of his "lil babies" & tried putting the collar around it! We're convinced his IQ is about 187.
*- Doesn't this pic look like a pose a President who do?
For Vice President: Delilah "lil Brat" Suarez
Age: 10 months
Breed: Maltipoo

Qualifications- As the youngest in the pack, she has shown her drive, persistence & determination to be known as the High Bitch In Charge! God forbid something happens to the Numbs, she would be able to control & get shit done, her way!
& last but not least-
Speaker of the House: Cyrus "lil Baby" Suarez
Age: 7 1/2
Breed: Chihuahua/Terrier mix

Qualifications- As the oldest yet the one who has been in the house for the shortest amount of time, Cyrus likes to make others happy. His main objective- to sit/lay next to you & just keep you warm & happy. A favorite amongst guests, he welcomes everyone with a "standing salute". Also, there's just no way of denying his "puss in boot" eyes!
& there you have it! I think my choices are reasonable, don't you agree???
me =)
I ain't gonna lie...
Watching this moved me to tears:
We all have opinions on our new president but I will not deny how beautiful it was seeing the Obamas dance, let alone Beyonce really showing how TRULY talented she is!
Me =..)
