BAD vs WORSE ????

I knew it was coming ,,,, we (Tulare County) knew it from soooooo long ago ,,, but today ,,,, VISALIA made it National ,,,, no wait a minute ,,, it made it WORLD wide (since I saw it on the internet) that we are the 4th MOST polluted city in America ,,,, is that insane or what ???? Well, if you want to learn if you city is as bad as mine ,,,, and or wondering why in the HELL our air is sooooo contaminated ,,,, read on ,,,, it's sooo common to me tho ,,, coming from the MOST polluted city in this world MEXICO city <------ the most BEAUTIFUL btw ,,,,, living in the Central Valley is like breathing Mexico City's air ,,,,, yeap ,,,, at this point ,,, not sure which of the two cities are worse ,,, Mexico's contamination is more due to car pollution and factories that have been contaminating the city for years ,,,, but here in the valley ,,,, most of the comtaminations is due to pestisides ,,,,, what do you think ,,,, is it bad or worse ??? Ahhh ,,,, at this point in my life ,,,,, who cares ,,, not that I don't ,,, but have no intentions in moving out of the area right now ,,,,, even if I wanted to ,,, south was my pick ,,, which is "worser' than Visalia ,,,, San Diego, LA, OC, all pretty much the same ,,,,, concluting that Kali is not a good place to breath ,,, period. ,,, Now wonder when I go out of Kali my brain is all 'high' ,,,, the fresh air that you breath and reaches your brian ,,, gives it a natural 'high' due to the cleaniness of it ,,,,, don't like the feeling tho ,,,,, to much 'pure' air gives me a head ache ,,, see cannot leave without my pollution!!!

Most Americans live in bad smog areas

WOW ,,, sorry peeps for not updating this little world of mine lately ,,, but kinda been busy ,,,, and out of town ,,, and busy ,,, and lazy ,,, but today is the day ,,,, yeah ,,, I'll let ya know exactly what the delio was this past weekend down in LA with my two favorite short track speed skating chicks of KALI ,,,,, so here I go ...

... Ape's and myself arrived to LA around 9:00 pm on Wednesday ,,,,, at that point I didn't care about whether to watch what I was putting in my mouth ,,,, nop ,,, I technically did not eat the cat ,,, cues Molls does not have one ,,, but her neighbor has a BIG fat cat ,,, very cute too ,,,,, anyhow ,,,, we went to eat at Norms < ---- I think that's what is called ,,,, we chatted like for 34346542313.251 hrs. and hit it back to her place ,,,,, let me tell ya one thing ,,, when you are at Molly's ,,,, going to bed DOES not mean going to SLEEP ,,,,, nop ,,,,, we laid ,,,, but did not shut up our mouths ,,,, which were running about 33466266613 words per SECOND ,,,, yes you read that right SECOND!!!! We mofos can really talk for HRS. just because at some point ,,, all of us were more asleep than awake ,,,, but if not for that ,,,, we could had gone for days!!!! ,,,,, to bad there are not enough hrs. in the day to sleep less and talk more ,,,,

Thursday 9:10 am.
Ahh ,,, Molls was 'supposed' to go to work ,,, but as the kick ass Manager she is ,,,, decided at the last minute to make a vist to the other branches ,,, and ended up going to the 'heritage' ,,, sweet LAWRD!!!! That place is the BOMB!!! We had our very well deserved meal of the afternoon ,,,, as part of the 'ritual' we have had in the past two visits ,,, we went to the very own 'Del Amo Swap Meet' ,,,,, to do our toes and nails ,,,, man that 'spa' pedicure ,,,,, is very relaxing ,,,, well at least to me ,,,,, it relaxes me to the point that I want to go to sleep ,,,,, after our well deserve pedi and mani ,,,, we made a visit to IKEA ,,,,,, gotta love that store ,,,, we found a couple of good delios ,,,,, go them into Molls trunk ,,, and hit it back to her place to cook dinner ,,,, that's when I got all 'Mexican Chef' wanna be and prepared a pretty decent rice ,,,, they call it Spanish Rice ,,, which is not ,,, cuz Spanish refers to Spain ,,, so I just call it 'Mexican rice' ,,,,,, ya know ,,, just for the heck of it ,,,,, some Mole ,,,, which had to be dissolved in chicken broth ,,,, and last but not least ,,,, the tortillas ,,,, which were not home made ,,,, but I also can make tortillas ,,, YES ,,,, I'm a grown ass woman ,,, according to Molly ,,,,, we pigged out ,,,, to the point that we had to go for a walk to a near by park to Molls home ,,,, we took the hoppsie (?)<---- Molls new car ,,,,yes a nice '87 Astro Van '90 Ford Aerostar that makes a noice when you back up ,,,,,, and has a detachable stereo system ,,,,, impressed??? ,,,,, came back ,,,, went to BED ,,,,, felt asleep right away ,,,,

Friday 8:15 am ......
Ok so we decided that on Friday we were going to Universal Studios Hollywood ,,, so the plan was for Molly to stop by her office and take care of some business ,,,, later on that morning Apes and myself found out that her office is the 'Krispy Cream' right off the freeway ,,,, we got a dozen of 'VERY COLD' glaze doughnuts ,,, and left to USH ,,,,, she turn purple when savoring a doughnut ,,,, realized that they were NOT hot ,,, had her moment ,,,, got over it ,,,, and there we went ,,,,,,, at the park ,,,, we met Shrek, Princess Fiona, DORA, we took the Tour ,,, and if you have not read Molls and/or Apes blog ,,, go, go ,,, it'll tell ya about our kick ass guide tour ,,,, Thurman ,,,, nice man ,,,,, we eat some chicken since the Molls and the Apes had one cold doughnut and a cup of coffee in their stomach and it was way over lunch time ,,,,, we got all wet at the Jurassic park the ride ,,, but not our beloved Molls ,,,, since she had invested in what according to her was 'the investment' of the hour ,,,, a 'poncho' which enabled her to get all socked wet like some other morons behind us ,,,,, tee heee ,,,,, as we were hitting to the ladies room ,,, this gentleman walked up to us ,,, asking if we would kind enough take a survey and not only that ,,, if we would invest a couple of our minutes to their 'food' tasting survey ,,, he was going to give us $10.00 ,,, yes TEN USA DOLLARS ,,, well at the end it was Universal Dollars ,,, but they bought food for me ,,,, anyhow ,,, here is one of the highlights of the day ,,,,,, we were asked to taste a 'Betty Crocker'whipped frosting ,,,, Iced Vanilla if not mistaking ,,, on a Devil's Food cake ,,,, mmmmm ,,,, but get this ,,, the samplers were ,,,, a 10" diameter cake on which the frosting had to be 'spread' ,,,,, the 'food preparation tec' told us that we had to spread the frosting with the 'spatula',,,, cut a piece with the 'knife' and take at least 3 bites ,,,,,, we were going to 'evaluate' the frosting, not the cake ,,,, well I ate a 1/4 of it ,,, and continued the survey ,,,,,, over all it was smooth, good texture, and a little too sweet in my opinion ,,,, but I guess that was the purpose of it ,,,,, finally concluded the survey ,,,, and walked away with $10.00 Universal Studios Dollars ,,,,, before leaving the park, we grabbed some dinner ,,,,, some coffee ,,, concluding our day at Molls and totally EXHAUSTED from the very heckted and enjoyable Friday ,,,,,,

Saturday ,,,,, 3 days and counting ...
So you thought that I did all the cooking while at Molls ,,,, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ,,,, our very own host ,,,,, got up around ,,,, mmmmm ,,,,,, lets leave it early considering ,,,,, and cooked breakfast for all of us ,,,, eggs, sausage, bacon, rice, tortillas, guacamole, toast, juice, coffee, man ,,,, and then you wonder why those pants don't fit by the end of the day ,,,,, 'phew' ,,,, later on ,,,, we baked some cookies and tres leches cake ,,,, which btw did not come out the way it supposed to ,,,, sorry guys ,,,,, I tried ,,, but next time ,,, cuz there will be a next time ,,,right??? Next time I PROMISE it will be the right way ,,,,, we also baked some cookies and by mid afternoon ,,,, we decided we needed to go a visit the local Walmart ,,,, since it has become a ritual every time we get together ,,,,,, had some Japanese food ,,, ya know the typical Kali, salmon/cream cheese, and avocado rolls ,,,,, they were pretty good ,,,,, wassabi (?) ,,,, WAYYYYYYY to strong and spicy ,,,,, after our well deserved dinner ,,,, we wanted to go and release some stress ,,,, and no ,,,, the ladies room was not the place ,,, but 'Suave' the night club where is easy to distress by hitting the dance floor for a couple of hrs. ,,,,,,

Sunday ,,,, home ,,, ET phone home ,,,
Now ,,, Sunday is the day to sleep in and it does not matter what time you get up ,,,, it was SUNDAY ,,,, God bless Sunday ,,,, we got up, started packing, but before we left ,,,, we went to the Mall ,,,, where btw saw our own and very own Jan ,,,, she was leaving the place so we only could give her a quick hug and with the wind ,,, she went ,,,,, we ate at California Pizza Kitchen ,,,,, zoomed in and out of the Mall ,,,,, got our well needed Starbucks IV for the day ,,,,, and parted happily to our destinations ,,,, I was gonna say 'final' destination ,,, but luckily it was just home ,,,,

Spending time with these gals is like a box of chocolate ,,,, ya never know whatcha gonna get!!!! ,,,,, sorry for the plagiarism I just did ,,,, but it's true ,,,, these visits/reunions are so off the hook that we look forward for the next one ,,,, which probably will not be soon ,,, due to Molls having a very, very, very, very busy schedule ahead of her ,,,,,, hey Molls ,,, can you send me a copy of you house keys before you leave to Seattle and Australia??? That way Apes and I can go and kick it at your place while you are gone :( !!! Nahhh ,,,, we'll wait for ya ,,,,,

Long???? Well ya made it ,,, this is the last sentence you'll be reading ,,, now some of the images that will speak by themselves ,,,,, till next time ,,, tata

We are learning with DORA!!I'm a BELIEVER ,,,,,, I always do!!I'm with stupid ,,,,,, *points to Patrick* who is in between my legs!!

WHY TIME, WHY!!!!
So yeah ,,,, I went dancing last night with my friends and sisters ,,, and got home around 3:00 am ,,,, as most of you know I'm not a 'night' nor 'morning' person ,,,, meaning that I LOVE to sleep ,,,, well the only little disadvantage I had was that I had to work today ,,,, I had to be in Fresno at 9:00 in the freaken morning to set up my booth ,,,,,, I set my alarm for 7:30 a.m. ,,,, I took off around 8:15 a.m. ,,,, got to Fresno around 9:10 and our rep was freaking out cuz I was not set up yet ,,,, she was like 'I thought you guys were not coming' myself answered ,,,, why did you think that? And she gave me that 'dare' look ,,,, 'well you were supposed to be here at 9:00' ,,,, so I looked my watch and it was 9:15 ,,,, I told the rep ,,,, 'but is barely 9:15' ,,,,, she looked at me and said ,,,, 'NO is 10:15' ,,,, then it click me,,,, as a totally moron I get to be sometimes ,,,, yeah ,,, I forgot to forward my alarm clock ,,,, ahhhhhhh ,,,,, at the same time tho ,,, it worked to my advantage ,,,, cuz the event was schedule to start at 11:00 am ,,,,,, anyhow ,,,, the event was good ,,,, not as much people as I thought ,,,, but still a good turn out ,,,,,, I have to tell ya a secrete ,,,, I met Ronald McDonald and guess what???? HE SPEAKS SPANISH!!!!!! Tee hee heee ,,,,,, the guy was sooo cool that even took a pic with me ,,,,,, I also felt like 'Rusty Smith' for a couple of hrs. cuz Home Depot was one of the business that had a booth at the event ,,,,,, and was giving flowers and aprons to the 'kids' ,,,, but as the 'BIG kid' I am ,,,, I got away with my Apron and got an awesome shot as well ,,,,,, got home around 6:00 pm ,,,, napped for about 45 minutes and went to mass since today is Palm Sunday ,,,, which reminds me ,,,,,, ONLY 6 DAYS TO TASTE A DROP OF CAFE!!!!!! ,,,,,,,, :)

I don't even want to comment on that 'fiasco' Short Track coverage ,,,, it was totally a joke ,,,,,, of course ,,,, Apolo looking all HOT as always ,,,, that was the only worth piece of coverage that saved the transmission ,,,,,, I even was disappointed that I did not get to see non of the FANS that were there to support the USA team and other fans as well ,,,, I'm glad they did not show any of Rusty's incident ,,,,, but definitely would had love if ABC had covered more of the skaters ,,,, don't get me wrong ,,,,, I loved all of Apolo's segments ,,,, but at least they could had talked about the girls a little as well ,,,,,, *sigh* ,,,, anyhow ,,,, I'm EXTREMELY tired ,,, ready for bed ,,,, stay cool ,,,,,, tata

I'm loving it!!Hi my name is Lupes ,,,,, how can I help ya!!Check it out ,,,,, Lupes representing Proteus and Home Depot ,,,, love the Apron!!
