No Me Platiques Mas

For those of you who don't speak Spanish, the translation for the title is "Don't Speak to Me Anymore". Now before you get your hair all up in a dandruff, I am not telling you that, I am simply telling you the name of one of my favorite Spanish songs.

In the song, Luis Miguel, tells the love of his life not to tell him anything about her past. The only thing he cares about is from the moment they met and their future. That leaves me thinking, is that really a good way to shape a relationship?

I mean, doesn't your past shape your future? And if it does, then isn't it better to know as much as you can about the person you are involved with so you can properly shape your future?

What do you think my friends, is the past necessary for the success of a future in a relationship?

Our favorite resort in Mexico

Me esposa y yo enjoy going to Mexico. This is our favorite resort. We've been to Cancun, Puerta Vallarta, and Cabo. Our next trip will be in Mazatlan.

The resort is an all-inclusive and the rooms have balconies and are suites. Not only is the alcohol part of the package, but the room is stocked to with some pretty quality whiskey, rum, and scotch.

The picture above is from one of the many balconies on the resort. All the resorts we have been to so far are along the ocean.

The prices for the resort are extraordinarily reasonable and we really enjoy the staff, from the manager to maids. If you are a friend of ours and you're reading this, don't you think it would be fun to go with us. For me, the more the merrier, and it's always easier than to get a team together for the pool volleyball:-)

The Day Pop Culture Died

Today is indeed a very sad day. Two ICONS from the 70's and 80's have passed away.

The first, Farrah Fawcett, was an angel...Charlie's Angel that is. She was the one with the hair and the pin up girl that showed that woman can be DAMN SEXY without baring it all. So many boys had their first wet dream with her poster in their room and so many girls tried to emulate her style.

The second, and truly tragic, was the KING OF POP!!! Michael Jackson was the young boy that so many people loved to dance and sing to his music. He was everywhere. There wasn't a moment that you wouldn't hear one of his songs on the radio. He made you want to get up and sing and dance and just enjoy life all the way around. He had his problems, and he had his issues, but that all aside, he was truly liked by the world all over.

I know for me personally this is a very sad day because two major "memories" from my youth have passed away. It shows that mortality is around the corner for all of us and that at one time or another, all of our childhood dreams actually fade away.

So my friends, tell me... do you have any special stories about Farrah or Michael?

I would love to know!!

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett!!!

Father's Day...

So today was Father's Day, and to celebrate I took my Dad, Mom and hubby to the Angel V. Dodger Game. The special thing about it was that my girlfriend got a suite, and we got to watch the game from there. Now, that being said...that line I just typed was the only special thing about the suite. It was very cramped, what they were suppose to provide wasn't to what I think a suite should provide and it just left in my mind a lot to be desired. My Dad, Mom and hubby had a good time (and I guess that is what is important) but it reinforced in me something very important. Sometimes our imagination is greater than reality.

So question friends, "how often have you been disappointed when your reality didn't live up to your imagination?"

I Should Care by Vic Damone

That's a fabulous song from the 40's. But the words and the meaning transcend even to today. It tells how the singer wants to not care about his love interest, and yet he does. Isn't that the way we have all felt at times? Haven't you ever been at that point in your relationship when you simply want to "stop caring", but then you realize, "I Should Care". So here is your question, "do we care because it's ingrained in us or because we realize that without caring there are no deep feelings"?

On a side note, thanks Randy Economy for adding me to your blog. It's great to find old friends and realize you still "care" for them. Congrats on your anniversary....Life works in funny ways!!

Getting old sucks!!!!

So its not bad enough that we have to age. This expression of growing old with grace is a bunch of bull pukey. My poor mom got a bad allergic reaction on her forehead to something (that which we don't know) but its made her eye look like Mohammed Ali needed to do some spurring. My brother, the doctor, says its common with older folks and it just happens.

So here is today's question for the day..."Is the alternative to getting old better?"

Now before you jump down my throat, I ask this in all honesty. Is it better to leave on a high note, or let it all start to fall apart and then let it get sent to the junk yard. We get more money when we trade in our newer cars...what about our human bodies?

Is it new or is it old? Inquiring minds want to know!

OK, so here i am keeping up with my blog and my husband hasn't posted anything since his original writing. Today was an OK day at work. Nothing spectacular, however, I went to lunch with some old friends (not age) and it was fun because we could talk of old times. Usually I go to lunch with my "new friends" and that is fun too because they are interesting and have lots of new and open opinions. But my question to you then is, "what is better, relate to old friends with a history, or open yourself up to new friends and grow a new experience?" What do you think!!!

It's Friday Everybody

Alright, its Friday. The day we all look forward to. The day that we like to start having fun and try to keep it going all weekend. Problem with this theory is that its making our life go faster. I mean, do you realize that all week long you look forward to Friday. Then it gets here and the weekend goes by super fast and we are back at Monday. So maybe, we should start looking forward to Thursday instead. Maybe that way we can slow our lives down a little. What do you think? Your thoughts?

Alright, I need a break already

So here is the deal. My girlfriend just told me I'm crazy for starting a blog. She's like, "you are addicted to FB and Farm Town, and your soaps, how are you going to find time for anything else?" I had to stop and think about that.. I told her that sleep is a commodity and I would give it up. But now, Im too tired, so will deal with that another time!!! What do you think?

We've Only Just Begun

Ok, so I am not the most creative person in the world, but this is a start. I will try to take you through my families days and adventures. Sometimes they will be funny, sometimes not, I guess it just how you look at life..

So, welcome to my journey....
