What a day,,,,actually what a week!!!! Have done soooo many things on these three days that in the past month or so,,,,,,, can that be possible??? Well, kinda ,,,,, ahhhh not really,,,but I did it ,,,,, I think the fact that we had a looooooooooooong weekend,,,,that kinda contributed to this crazy, wako week,,,,,but I'm glad that is almost over,,,,,
On Monday, after spending an awesome weekend in Beautiful San Diego ,,,,, we had to return to reality,,,,,,came back home and I was soooooooo thrilled that there was NO traffic at all!!!!!! Can you believe that??? It was just amazing that I did not catch any of LA's loooooooooooong weekend traffic,,,,,,,,that was very cool,,,,,then at work on Tuesday, I went to Fresno to pre-record an appearance at Univision,,,,, since the organization I work for is non profit,,,,,these appearances on TV are great deals for outreach,,,,,,Wednesday was "interview" day,,,,,,I also belong to the Proteus Scholarship Committee,,,,and we had to interview 17 applicants,,,,,this year we received 46 apps,,,,and like any other scholarship we are only able to give out certain amount of them,,,,,in our county, 9 scholarships will be given out,,,,,is pretty stressful, cuz you have all these kids ready to start their professional careers and many of these kids have gone through ALOT and they are not even 20 years of age,,,,,is hard,,,but at the end,,,,,,,is all worth it,,,,,,helping just a very tiny little portion of their education,,,,makes us proud,,,specially since all of our fund raises are done within the corporation,,,,yeah a couple of outsiders,,,,but a good 95% is because of the great and humble hearts of many co-workers,,,,,,,for that, big prompts to my co-workers!!!!!,,,,,,,after the interviews,,,,we (my familia and myself) rushed to our nieces graduation,,,,,she is soooooo beautiful,,,,a young woman ready for high school,,,,she is only 14,,,,,,,,,btw the heat was the NASTIEST ever,,,,,but at the end everything was good,,,,,is always good to spend time with family,,,,,,,,,ahhhhh,,,then today I had a couple of clients for eligibility,,,,went around town to make payments for clients, bought ribbon for our typewriter,,,,,can you believe that we still use typewriters,,,,,CRAZINESS!!!!,,,,,and finally tonight,,,,,,,I'm able to write my crazy sooooooo - short week ,,,,,, not much going on this weekend,,,,,so I will chill out and prepare myself for the "move",,,,yeah,,,,,the day is coming along,,,,,,,apparently June 9th will be my official first day in Dinuba,,,,,,,,executing my new duties :( ,,,,,,, I thought I had gotten over the "new position deal",,,,but I haven't,,,,,just to think about it,,,,gives me a rush of anger!!!,,,,,and then just to think that I'm leaving my "second family",,,,,,,,,ahhhhh that teas me up,,,,,,,,I know, I know,,,,,enough on whining,,,,,this change of offices and staff and boss is just overwhelming,,,,,,and as I said it before,,,,,, I WILL SURVIVE!!! ,,,,,,,,,,, tata

I should feel happy and honored for being promoted to this new position,,,,,,I am happy for their offer,,,,but I wish I had never being asked,,,,,at this right moment I feel all confused,,,,,,I love my current position,,,,eventho sometimes I get stretched little too much,,,,,but that is not what it matters,,,,, I have GREAT co-workers and the best BOSS ever!!!! I guess that's what's not making me 110% happy with this new chapter in my life,,,,,there are way many positive thing with this new position,,,,,,so what I'm going to do is to try to write every positive thing on this new position and if there is any negativity,,,,then I'll write it down as well,
Positive vs Negative
*First of all and most important,,,,I'll be earning more $$$$
*For those few $$$$ I'll be commuting every single day <-------- This is the number one killer
*New challenges<-------------*Which I have every single day at my current position
*Will be working with media<-------Now this is sooooo cool,,,,cuz that's what I'm majoring in -Massive Communication-
*Will NOT answer phones ANYMORE<-------Very Positive
*Presentation on large groups of individuals<----------*Pleazzzeeee,,,,,piece of cake,,,,I love talking in front of people
*I might be able to have a healthier diet<--------------------*Which I don't care to be honest
*I will be able to see my grandparents more often<----------------*I like spending time with them (specially lunch time,,,yummmm)

*I get to work with old folks<-------------------*But I insist,,,, I LOVE MY CURRENT CO-WORKERS!!!
Ahhhh,,,,well there is no turn back of page,,,,,,so I have to swallow my guts and go on,,,,, as my sista Molly says "Lupe, you are a grown ass woman" and as a "grown ass woman",,,, I have decided that I have to move on and continue my journey,,,,I also know that the Lord put me in this road for a reason,,,,,,,so to learn what is ahead of me,,,,,,this will be my new challenge, my new route,,,,,,and only the Lord knows why he helped me to choose this road,,,,,,otherwise,,,I would be doing the same thing over and over for the rest of my life,,,,,,nah,,,,but at least till Torino 2006,,,,,I guess as I get into my duties,,,,I will be able to re-adapt to my new office, therefore, new boss and new co-workers,,,,eventho I have worked with many of them in the past,,,,,,,,I'm dealing more with the "emotional" part,,,,,is just soooooo hard to let go something that you feel comfortable with,,,,,and that's how I feel with my 2nd family,,,,,very sooo comfortable!!!!!!,,,,,but hopefully after a couple of weeks,,,,,I will have a new family,,,,and I will continue with my life,,,,,,,,,I'm dead tired,,,,so is time for me to hit the mat,,,,,,,till next time,,,,Tata

Amy Peterson was at the banquet as well,,,,but missed her and was not able to take a pic with her ,,,, also it was mention that Jennifer Rodriguez was present,,,,but to be honest,,,,I was way to bore at the end of the ceremony that I did not bother to look around for other skaters,,,,,,my goals were ,,,,,,, go to the speedskaters take pics and congratulate them,,,,piece of cake!!! or actually,,,,piece of Amaretto cheesecake,,,,wow,,,,that cheesecake was the BOMB!!!!!! Bonnie Blair made her presence too,,,,,but left the banquet right away,,,,,oh well next time,,,,,when everybody was leaving,,,,,Cathy Turner was showing the fans her AMAZING gold medal!!!

Well as we all know, Easter is just around the corner, my sisters are coming down from San Diego, and since none of us have kids, well we'll just have to hope that my cousins will show up with their own kids that way we could have a "traditional" Easter Sunday. The funny thing is that we actually do not do anything "traditional" from this country, ya know, the egg hunting, the decoration of the eggs, and the treats for the kids, nothing is done, we just gather, give thanks to the Lord for his immense love and get to spend time with the family. I love to spend time with my family, the kids are the ones that light up our lives!!!! and is just great to spend time with them. I have a total of 5 Nephews and 5 Nieces. They range from 14 years of age to 9 months, oh and there is another one on it's way!! These are all my cousins kids, but love them as if they were my sisters' or brother's kids,,,, I think I will love them the same way. Not much to say, just for all of you that stop by this blog have a nice and safe Easter. Don't drink that much, 'memeber that Good Friday is only once a year and the Lord deserves all our respect and deep love for what he did for us. Regardless what religion you practice or not practiced, God bless you Always and may the Lord give you the best ever!!! Tata
PS. Check my fotolog, I have being posting new pics,,,,,,,,,enjoy

Damn,,,,, I started my weekend earlier,,,,,,I went drinking yesterday with my co-workers,,,why???? Well, there was no excuse, but to chill out and have a good time ,,,, which I did,,,since I got a little bit buzzed,,,,,but hey,,,,I had a great time and that's what it counts right!!! Anyhow ,,, I also went skating on Wednesday, which btw, was not good, cuz I felt twice and hit my head ,,,, *ouch* ,,, damn my head just bounced like nothing,,,,, that really hurt,,,not right away,,,but 2 hrs. later,,,,,,,,, and the worse was yet to come,,,,,,,,,I woke up all sore and feeling like I worked out for 10 hrs. without stop!! ,,,,, *I want my mommy* ,,,,,,,,, the only think I don't like with these lessons are that I'm learning figure skating stuff,,,, which I don't give rat's ass,,,,, I do like figure skating,,,but I'll let Sarah Huge and Michelle Kwan represent the USA :P ,,,, I also learn that Fresno had a Short Track SS club,,,,, however, since there was not much interest on the sport, it kinda died,,,,,,,but the rumors state that it might start on Sept - Oct right away when the season start,,,,,,so I'll just keep my fingers cross and hope for the best,,,,, that would be soooo cool,,,,cuz I really like how it feels when you are skating on ice,,,,,,,,the gliding is just a nice feeling,,,,,and to be able to glide like the "real ones" will be AMAZING to experience!!!!
I have to work tomorrow (Saturday) ,,, but is cool,,,cuz I'm kinda low on my vacation time,,,so all these events will give me some flex time,,,,therefore, can go and have fun with my Ohno chicks in 2 weeks ,,,, ahhhh can't wait, can't wait!!!!! I'm hitting the mat cuz my aching body just cannot handle it anymore ,,,,, tata
PS. I was checking my spelling on my dictionary and found out the definition for "buzz" :"a feeling of intoxication (slang)" ,,,, intoxicated,,,,,hell no just buzzed!!!!! :grin: ,,,, I just hope I never get caught!!!! :wink:
OMG,,,,well as you might have seen,,,,my dear and sweet friend April (who is now officially my "lil sista",,,, ;) ) did that AMAZING banner for my blog,,,,, she is just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo talented that I have no words to express my gratitude and excitement,,,,girl ya know I love ya!!! and it is an honor to have you as my friend!!!! Thank you soooo much for this amazing gift,,,,,ahhh and don't forget to check my fotolog site,,,,,I'll be uploading my pics from all the places I have gone to see Apolo,,,,,,even Colorado Springs,,,,,is kinda late,,,,and I have to get up in a couple of hrs. to go to work,,,,, THANKS again Ape,,,,and ttys peeps!!
