wormy

On my morning walk today I noticed Maddy sniffing at something strange in the parking lot. Of course, at first sight I jumped, got super scared, and immediatly pulled Maddy away from the little fuzz on the ground. After realizing it was a crawly little worm it sparked my interest and I decided to take a quick picture to send to Mike and a video to post on my blog. It's not great quality because I was filming while at the same time trying to keep Maddy away from sniffing at it.

OMG! I'm such a nerd, filming a worm in the parking lot.

dad's 50th

The party took place April 18th so these pictures are long over due:
Above: My dad cutting his birthday cake. It was mango cake ordered from Porto's. Below: Some of the cool crew members hanging out at the bar. (Tim, Eugene, Nomie, Heather, & Richie)

Above: My parents posing between my dad's brothers and sisters. Yes, the Fajardo family starts multiplying after them. Below: My cousin Desi and & taking a quick photo while carrying around the kids Noah and Zoe.

Above: My dad stopping for a picture with his god daughter, my cousin Monica. Below: Our family photo from the event. Yes, people were so fascinated by the birthday cake they made us take a photo around the cake.

Lastly, we ended the night cleaning up a bit and giving my dad the frame with signed birthday wished from everyone at the party. Overall the party went well. Personally, I was a little upset over the photo show not working on the projector, but I can say that I am over it now (even though it took days to put it all together). I love spending time with family and it was really great having both sides of the family at one place at the same time. And my godson Noah is so adorable! He's not even 2years old and is so smart, all night I amazed myself watching him unlock my iPhone and clicking on apps. The party was only 3 hours long, but I was pooped from all the kiddies around (I'm just glad I'm not drinking the water now!).

My confession is that I have not been to Starbucks in about 3 weeks. I've been getting my caffeine fix from Rockstars. I'm still testing out the waters with flavors, but I have to admit every time I consume a can I automatically think back to the good ol' sorority days. Honestly, I can't explain why I am still drinking Rockstars because #1 can never finish a whole can without a stomach ache (because there is way too much sugar) and #2 sometimes i reminisce of the nasty smell of partying too hard with jager and energy drinks (which makes me gag). Why do I still buy and consume these?
The latest movie rental was:

Mike totally ended up watching the movie all by himself because I fell asleep. Actually I lie, every time there was a weird bird sound being made on the television I would wake up to see where that noise was coming from. As much as I love watching films about nature, this movie was not very interesting. There was not too much narration and a lame attempt of a storyline with an odd child, it was just unappealing. I will vote 3 stars on my Blockbuster online rating.

weekend movies

Here are the films that we watched this weekend. I will not add the movie we failed to watch because we both fell asleep, but Punisher War Zone seemed interesting but wasn't enough to keep us awake.
I was surprised how interested I became watching Chocolate. Who would have thought that a child that suffers from a disability would have amazing kickboxing talent that helps her collect money from her mother's past gang life? There was just so much that surprised me in this movie it really kept me entertained and laughing, sometimes laughing at how lame it was, but still was impressed by some action moves.

Loved this disc from the Discovery Channel. I truly wanted more to be said about the actual address/speech given by Lincoln, but it was still very educational. The reenactments of the battle was interesting as well. Mike swears the computer graphics used on some battle clips are super real looking. I think I just really wanted to hear Lincoln give his very inspirational and powerful speech. (yes, I'm a nerd like that!)

haunted

I've been a big girl these past few nights and have been successful in watching movies. Last night I am glad I failed to stay up and watch:
I do not do well with scary movies and glad this movie only spooked me for about 20 minutes before I fell asleep. I don't want to give away the movie, but if you are into a Swedish films or 12 year old vampires then this movie is for you. It's just eerie to watch a 12 year old girl jump a grown man and kill him by draining the blood out of him.

Now just waiting for my next Blockbuster movie to come in the mail...
