Colorful Caravan

exploring the new mall next to our abode, it was a terrible, boring place. And what do we do when we're bored? take pictures of course!! and that's how the women's world revolves.

Happy Birthday to Ben!!!

Today is Ben's birthday, He's a totally awesome guy, and I've had the privilege of speaking totally random things to him for 4 years! Have a great day, and 17th year! Praying for you tons..Lots of love......... -Mindy

Can't Have a Day of Peace

My recent promise of telling you that i would post again has been a bit of a trial for me, i have come to the realization that I'm quite dull, and thus i don't have much to say... but i guess I'll start small considering this is all new to me after a good few months of being free from the blogging weirdos...

i think I'm going to change my template, it has gotten rather old and I'm bored of seeing it, too much white, even though i greatly appreciate the person who spent long gruesome hours making it for me (you know who you are)..........

anyways, I've recently started to paint, also started using the easel and paper my Dad got me for Christmas about 4 years ago, scarcely used it once or twice since. I'm not the greatest at it yet, actually I'm quite the opposite, but I'm working on it, my Mom is also working on trying to provision a discount on a painting class, so that will be peachy, minus that I'll have to raise funds for it on my free day, and i just like my sleep so much.. ptl.... here's a pic of a horrible failure..eeee


Original Plan
(starting with something easy) my attempt at failure (sad part about it, is that i was using one of those kids watercolor trays)so i didn't have much to work with, oh and everyone please comment on my photography skills!


kks, see ya -Mindy

No Apologies Made to Fools.

Here i am, not apologising to any one of my devoted fans... i know you're out there somewhere..
well from now on, i think I'm gonna be cool and start posting again.. i have to keep up with the blogging world right,? or else i would be the only one who was left behind for the rest of my life... and that just wouldn't do. so here is a small informing post, to say i love you, and that I'll start writing non-sense once more, hurra! love and more... -Mindy

(here is a small pic enclosed for you, of me)

Pray for Melly

listen up people who never visit this blog, Mel (the one with tons of pictures of her on here) is super sick, with some strange tummy thingy, she's hasn't been able to keep anything down besides yucko apples, so, please prayer that she gets over it super soon! thank you tonsss.... i love you....
praying for you Mel!

and there is more...

another free day has past, me and Mel went to the pool, poor woman didn't want to get wet, but i soaked her anyway in our "water fight" in the one foot pool, with streams of water coming out that could literally kill a clueless kid going under it. it was peachy. one day i will start posting about something besides free day, till then, be content and happy with the Lord gives you..... -Mindy

Sushi fun and Chinese dinner.

sushi night was lots of fun, cooks were April, Dustin, and I, peachy as peachy can be.
New hair again
Here's alcoholic Melly when we went over to there house for a Chinese night, 30 pesos each
(wise advice: if you have limited money, don't spend it on food)
Chinese dress, and my cutsie nephew Evan looking like a dirty boy.
Me and April pretending to be happy :D
lovely lady
he wants to kill you, stay far far away!
the motherliness i have deep down inside somewhere

me experimenting with making inside out sushi (or whatever its called)
looks gross but it tasted alright, three cheers..

Ending story: (Editors note: if you are sensitive to unpleasant stories, do not read on)

this morning at 11:30 (free day) i was dreaming, a very odd dream to be in fact, but in this dream, i really REALLY needed to go pee, and usually when you try in dreams, you can't, as much as you try, so there i am in my dream going pee, when all of a sudden I'm shook out of my dream with an unpleasant wet feeling, i scream, jump out of bed, and see my nice gray pajama pants half peed on. disgusting i know, but rather hilarious at the same time, well i laughed anyway, moral of the story is, never drink coke before you go to bed, and do trust your dreams, cause they will come true. -Mindy

Missing my MaryLou

My coolest most beautiful friend ever Marylou has left to the CTC last night, and i didn't even get to say bye, which makes me sad all over, but the good thing is shes only going to be staying for a month, but shortly after is leaving us again, tears are shed.. (hehe) I love you so much Mar, have fun, and don't work yourself to hard! your most ardent friend.....-Minders

Easter Blessings...

i know I'm a day late, and saying happy Easter wouldn't make any difference because it was yesterday...but i do hope you had a peachy time eating boiled eggs with food coloring randomly strewn around....i know i did, it was splendid and peaceful.... Love and blessings...

Prayer vigil

there's so much to prayer for, but it feels like theres so little time in your day, and before you know it, your in your cozy little bed praying for the night, and then you remember that you need to do a half an hour more of this praying stuff....and by the time you think that, you're already half asleep snoring. (well maybe in your case, i'd like to believe i don't snore). its so difficult for me, my spirit is just so lazy and lethargic, jesus help me! so all you faithful prayer vigil-ers, can you drop a tinsy prayer for me to start getting my act together? that would be peachy, and if you need any prayer yourself, just drop a line, and i'll try pray for you during my prayer vigil that I'm regularly going to start! thanks for your prayers tambien!

Freedays with Mel

beautiful woman
if you look closely at the names, you'll see that these people don't know how to spell or write
trying to balance

Next door neighbors car we just HAD to get a shot with!


seeing Mel has become my weekly ritual, its rather fun and inspiring. listening to Declan always makes things more enjoyable together also, this free day, like every free day, we wanted to go to Starbucks, this week i was being greedy and didn't want to pay for us, so instead we went out in the blistering sun to go shop to shop, at first it didn't go so well, so we just kinda walked around, finally we got one CD to cover for our drinks, so the rest of the day we talked, drank frapps, and enjoyed ourselves immensely by eating takis and watching chick flicks, it was grand... Love you Mel, be good for Jesus!

Home Alone.

For three days I'm the only one in our room.
only one word to describe this is.....

Peaceful.


Three days is all i need to start missing you guys again, heheh......love you girls tons!!.. have fun singing your little hearts out, and bring me back some munchies!..................................................

Beautiful Maria's Birthday.

Happy Birthday Maria, love you tons!

Atonement

thought you couldn't cry in a movie? watch this. Saddest and yet the greatest movie ever.

I miss my sister!!

April i love you so much and miss you tons, your the best sister anyone ever could ask for!! and even though i can't fit in your jeans, were still tight.. claro que si? i love you, visit me soooon!

Imagine this:
speeding cars driving down a large ominous four lane highway, and in the midst of this chaotic situation, two little girls running for there lives. One is quite sure of what she's doing, making quick dashes in and out of lanes, the other girl, sadly, is screaming on the top of her lungs, while clutching the others girl hand to direct her. the scared little girl, who can't cross streets for the life of her, sadly again, is me. (yes the one with the wrinkled neck.).

This is where we were, March 3rd 2008. free-day. it was Ian's birthday, well we were celebrating it anyway, actually i think its today, happy birthday Ian!
now that that's over, they had invited us to go play paint ball with them and afterwards get a bite (more like 200 bites, for me anyway) to eat, at a dainty little Japanese restaurant that they provisioned, so i decided to invite my lovely sister Melanie to come with me, in which she was TOO overjoyed, ahem. leaving in the afternoon, we arrived at the paint ball place at 5:00, sadly since Melly and I are quite broke, (sorda) we decided not to play, since we thought it would only be an hour for them to be done, and we were to scared to play anyway, Hence this is where the situation comes upon us of running across whistling streets, ....or people? we'll never know, but on to the rest... the whole reason we had to do such dangerous acts is because dear Melly is just to clean to use porter potties, so instead of just being a new bottle, she had to risk the life of a poor innocent relative that just wanted to live. ahem again. after we got back, they still weren't done yet, so we occupied ourselves by dancing and looking at this cute little boy racing on go karts, it was sweet...... after they were done we went to the restaurant with everyone, it was so enjoyable i could cry, all the sushi you could ever dream of right in front of you, yep thats my heaven.
Melly calls me a pig, but its not my fault, i enjoy eating OKAY?! haha, we can't all be slim and beautiful..hehe..... but anyways, by that time it was freazing cold, and guess what they decide to get for some celebrating....?.......... yep, you guessed it.. ice-cream!!.. but i just couldn't resist. chattering in between bites, i painstakingly ate the banana split, ya it was that good...thats where our day ended, thanks Melly for going with me, i love you sooooo much!!!.....sorry for stealing your idea for this post, oh well.. hehe.. be good, and remember you can't stay mad at me, because....we are sistahs!

Hello, to all of you that still go on my dying blog, (if any at all)
allot has happened since i last "posted", for instance going to Hawaii, everyone probably knows already since i was "so excited" and had to tell all. so heres a little outline about that lovely trip.


Day one. "The Trip"

after long and strenuous hours of finding out what i should bring/wear etc etc, i was done with my four day job of packing!! hurray! The morning of the 12th came around i was ready to go out the lovely rusted front door, took a couple minutes to get our luggage in a tiny 4 door Mazda, but finally we did, ptl. the ride to the Airport was everything besides eventful, ladda ladda say goodbye to the driver, get into the tinsy airport, (sorry for all these unnecessary details ).
well we waited at the airport for an hour and a half, sitting around and reading some word, finally the plane boards all the happy customers get onto their tinsky plane, rather uncomfortable, and highly unorganized, no one had appointed seats, they just sat wherever, i picked a comfy spot in the middle with three seats, lazily through the whole plane ride i slept, with my feet propped up on my mom, being covered with her coat.. (no, I'm not ALWAYS this spoiled hehe) sadly they didn't serve anything for free, so we were starving by the time we got off...We arrive in Tijuana at, actually i don't remember the time but thats not important anyways.. we're getting our bags etc, then we have to cross this border by foot, with this huge line of people trying to do the same thing, so that took an hour or so of walking and of annoying questions from my mom asking everything she could possibly think of to a scared out of their mind stranger ahem. across the border there is a little McDonalds on the other side of the street, and thats where my Uncle was suppose to pick us up, my mom told him to pick us up at 3:00 because she didn't know how long it would take to cross the border, and she rather have us wait for him than him wait for us, so we get their at Mcdonalds there wait for 2 hours, occupying myself with reading books and playing minesweeper on my handy dandy laptop... finally he arrives and we drive 2 hours back to his place, ptl!...he was super sweet and took us out to this really nice sushi restaurant, and gave me and my mom 50 $ to spend in Hawaii, we then went to the movie store to pick something out, sadly nothing really was to appealing to us,
so he decided to get Pans labyrinth, and this movie about Queen Esther called A night with the king, we tried to watch the first one but his t.v. kept on screwing up, so we decided to stick the other one on and it worked fine, as my mom says she was praying against the first one because it was horrible and demonic, i guess I'll never know? after the movie was finished i was sooo tired and ready to collapse, and i was quite shocked when i saw that it said 10:00 ..finally we retired to our beds, and waited for the new morning to come upon us where we will land in Hawaii.. hahaha........(P.S. i think I'm going to randomly skip around on my trip, theres no way i can remember the whole two weeks, and even if i could it would be to boring to read, something like "i ate ten chocolate chip cookies, on the 10th day and watched 3:10 to Yuma" yeah something like that).......mucho amor!
