it started with a poncho

i feel really blessed with the people in my life.
after this post that statement may be interpreted as sarcasm.
its not.
i am truly truly blessed.
just look.

my little mexican cupcake.

my little sis is so great. at first they were dressed like 80's glam girls. stunning by the way.
she quietly snuck out of the room only to come back down the hall playing her guitar dressed like this.
i feel alot of love.

ps. coco you can't be mad at me.
for one.. this is awesome
and two.. your the one who wouldnt let me watch one tree hill. tv hog.

missing this lady.

i was going through my pictures and came across this one.
you haven't been gone that long but it feels like forever.
this wasn't meant to be a sad post.
but i miss grandma.. granny goodwitch.
i'm grateful for the person you helped me become.
i'm grateful for the things you taught me.
and the beauty you found in simple things.
i'm grateful for your example and your love.
i'm grateful for all the memories i have.
they keep you close.

holiday cheers.

i realize this would have better been before the holidays. but i hope you had the happiest holidays ever.

where my homie's at?

today was a day like any other.
as i got home from work i found my mom and sisters sitting around the table.
nothing seemed odd about this so naturally i went to the family room to play with the kids. and turn on greys of course. the show consumed me as usual. suddenly i found myself home alone.
i went to the kitchen for some food. this is what i found.


i was troubled by this sign for a coupled reasons. 1. by nature i am rebellious. you tell me not to do something and i can't help myself. 2. i couldn't figure out what was important about anything around. the old Nokia brick phone/paperweight or the upside down cups/magic trick in the making?.. i sat for a few minutes looking. then i sat and ate dinner still wondering. i couldn't stand it anymore so i had to look. i lifted up the cups.
DISAPPOINTMENT. nothing.
some sort of sick joke. my mother knows me well.
but i can play too.

by now my sister was home. she's my partner in crime.

we found the homies.under cup #1 we placed the homie band.

under cup #2.. you decide whats happening.

under cup #3 we have homie P I M P.
and his women.

under cup #4 i put as many homies
as i could. creating a homieslide.

she's gonna love it.

before i end i have to tell you the story behind the homies and why this is funny. (shortened version i know its getting long).
a long time ago me and coco started collecting homies. anytime we went to walmart or any other place with a homie machine we bought one. never left the store without one. it started as a small collection lined up above our piano. it grew.. and grew.. suddenly they were lined up along the window sills and any other space we could find. my mom wasn't too fond of homies anymore. either was ash. she doesn't like clutter. one day she came over when no one was home apparently so did boarder patrol or so she claims. me and coco were devastated. those homies were 50 cents each. they added up.

a long while later we came across a mysterious bag in the back of a drawer. HOMIES!!! we were ecstatic. it was like Christmas. well actually it was christmas because the decorations were up. we stuffed homies in the christmas tree and garland. ever since then its been a game. the homies come out then boarder patrol comes. but they keep coming back. i love my homies.
