Ack, Computer Problems Again

Posted on July 31, 2007 - Filed Under Personal, Simple Life | 2 Comments

Don´t you just love computers? They really make life different. While supposedly increasing our productivity, they are also really, really good at wasting our time. Take today for example.
My computer has been running slower and slower these past few days and despite multiple virus scans, nothing was fixing it. So, I decided to bite the [...]

Weird Motivators - Supernatural and Kansas

Posted on July 30, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 3 Comments

I have mentioned before, in passing, my slight obsession with the TV show, Supernatural. Irving thinks it is just due to my ridiculous crush on Jensen Ackles (which I attribute to an early mid-life crisis), but really, it´s a great show! Although I have to say, it would kind of suck without Jensen, but anywaaaaay.
The [...]

Facebook, Crushing Uniqueness

Posted on July 30, 2007 - Filed Under Personal | 3 Comments

I am so disappointed. All my life, my name has been very unique. It wasn´t until I was an adult and came to Guatemala that I actually met another Genesis and she hadn´t even been named that at birth, she changed it to Genesis when she was older. I have also met two children with [...]

I Hate Surprises

Posted on July 29, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | 1 Comment

It has been a long week, with Irving working every single day, sometimes not coming home for a couple of days in a row. I was really looking forward to today, the whole family at home and relaxing a bit.
But, I just discovered that he has to go off again, in half an hour! [...]

Is It Possible to Have a Flat Stomach?

Posted on July 29, 2007 - Filed Under Body | 2 Comments

Ok, I posted a while back on my Fit Body Competition that my sister and I are doing. I haven´t written updates because the news is quite depressing. I haven´t lost anything! I have to admit that I haven´t been exercising much either, except for dancing around with Dorian to his Hi5 music videos.
However, that [...]

Rechargable Batteries

Posted on July 28, 2007 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

I wish my body had rechargable batteries. Wouldn´t that be nice? Anyway, that has nothing to do with this post!
Yesterday, in my little major shopping spree, I bit the bullet and bought a new set of rechargable batteries. They were expensive, but we really needed them, since our old ones passed that 1,000 charges milestone [...]

Fabric, Sewing and Plans

Posted on July 27, 2007 - Filed Under Mom Stuff, Personal | Leave a Comment

So, here is the stash I picked up for 2 quetzales (just over 25 cents US) per piece.

The baby was free with the 12 items I bought. Just kidding, I threw Dante in there to add interest to what otherwise might have just looked like a laundry pile!
So, here is the plan. The majority [...]

A Day to Myself (Well, a Morning, At Least)

Posted on July 27, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff, Personal, Simple Life | 2 Comments

Today, Irving got home at 5 am and so I decided to take advantage of this and go into town (alone, for the first time in nearly 2 years!) to take out my latest money and also to do some much needed shopping. (let´s just say we were surviving on the crumbs at the bottom [...]

He Can Talk!

Posted on July 27, 2007 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 5 Comments

Something rather odd happened just a few minutes ago.
I got Dorian up from his crib and he told me “Down”. This is something he has been struggling with for a while. He always says “Up”, even when he means down. The word isn´t an issue, he can say it just fine, he just always forgot. [...]
