Over Due Post Alert!

Our Cory's Graduation day

Okay YES!, I have been slow at posting my baby' s Graduation day. You see I'm still in shock to think both my children are High School Graduates and the shock of it all is to think how old that makes me feel, ugh!

Watching my baby walk on that stage to receive his High School Diploma filled my eyes with tears of joy and how proud it feels as a parent to see their Child's accomplishments.  

How Blessed I am to have Three wonderful men in my life.

Okay, Okay as if I didn't need any more excitement that day I had to grab a cup of Joe before the graduation, Hey it was a bit chilly that afternoon.

Oh No! Bono!

Chastity Bono is having a sex change to become a man. Daughter of Sonny and Cher, says he "has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity and began the sex-change process earlier this year.

A few weeks ago Rudy, myself, Jon and Kelly had dinner down on 2nd street and were stopped by a woman who was from Celebrity footage and wanted to get our take on Chastity's decision to become a man, Um I defiantly opped out on that interview, I'm a bit camera shy and with my new smile I felt it was a bit to uncomfortable. As much as I want America to see my beautiful smile I stepped away far away from the camera.

 If your wondering how I feel about this whole sex change operation

Changing your sexual identification, might solve some problems, but ... what if your problem is actually something else?

Rudy Had a lot to say about this matter, You see 21 years ago one of Rudy's co-worker a man had a sex change to became a woman so Rudy had a lot to say about this topic. 

What the heck is it?

  I had a Physical a few weeks ago and since than my life has been a rollercoaster with it's up and downs. I found out my Cholesterol is so high, I am due for a heart attack or stroke an minute now if I don't change my diet. Well I didn't have to think twice about my new lifestyle change. I am finally eating healthy and stocked up on my Omega fish oil and walking 5 miles a day. My Doctor decided not to put me on medication for my high cholesterol YET! She has faith in me that I could lower it with good eating habit and daily exercise.

  

My Mammogram test showed a few lumps, But with more testing it turned out it shows no evidence of Malignant disease. God is so Good! I just have Lumpy breast, Ergh! 

This morning I picked up my ultrasound CD from the Radiologist because tomorrow I will be seeing a specialist about my Pelvis ultrasound.  As I looked over my ultra sound pictures I wonder what the heck is in my Uterus? Yikes!  I know I can't be Pregnant, Rudy and I decided to shut down the Baby factory years ago! Ha!  

Keep me in your prayers tonight and tomorrow as I go get myself checked out again! Hopefully I only have a Lumpy uterus...... 

To Blog or not to Blog

I have a confession to make. This whole blogging thing has beaten me down lately. Can you believe I have been at this for almost 4 years? I can see how it has taken a downward slide lately. I was talking to an old friend of mine who mentioned that I just don’t update as often and she missed reading it. We talked about how it used to make her either laugh, think or just get a glimpse into my life. You know what? I miss that blog, too. I thought maybe I fell out of love with blogging and was ready to move on, but that just isn’t how I really feel. I really enjoy Blogging about stuff in my life, tell a story or post something that will make someone laugh or think. Or just laugh because thinking can be overrated. Ha!

I have been talking to a few people who Blog who have been at this for a few years as well and they have felt it, too. And it isn’t just burn out. Back “in the day” when some of us started blogging it was story telling and commenting and hanging out on each others’ blogs to share our lives and stories.   That was just when we laughed at someone else’s stupid typos in a post. Blogging trips? That was when you went to another blogger’s home to visit. It was just different. It’s not like I am sitting in a rocking chair talking about the good old days and yelling at the new bloggers to get off of my lawn. Change happens. “Blogging just isn’t as easy as it used to be.”

I am at a turning point in this whole thing. I either remember why I love blogging and get to it or I play the game that the new wave of blogging has become or I quit. Well, let’s just say upfront that quitting is not an option for me. I love telling stories. I love my corner of the Internet– cobwebs and all. But posting only because I am being told I have to by someone else who has no interest in my blog or even just writing to say “Hey, look! I have a blog!” are not acceptable to me anymore. I need to write something like ASAP or get off the blogging thing.

Taught her well regarding Vegas

Auntie Norma: Hey Presley where does Auntie Norma like to Go?

Presley: The Las Vegas. 

 Going thru all my video's I have of the Triplets this one is by far one of my favorites. Presley has heard me talk about Las Vegas so much and how excited I get when I even think of Vegas. Last year I asked the Triplets what they wanted to do that morning and Presley said, " Vegas because Auntie Norma loves Las Vegas"  If you don't think children are not paying attention to what you say,  Think again!

JonJon's New Girl!

My Jonjon has a new girl!  Her name is Kelly.  She's a very sweet and very polite and that's a great big plus in Mama's book. She enjoys going to church services with Jon and would like to start her very own Bible class.  She attends Cal State Long Beach  CSULB. Rudy's almamater.

 She brings joy to my son and I like her and that's all that matters!

This is Kelly in one of Jon's photo shoots

3:00 am Do you know where your husband is?

Ah! I'm sure my sweet Husband is sound asleep! He's been working so hard attending Launch parties, News Conferences and taking care of Business. 

Um, come to find out my sweet Husband has been out all night long! ( Ah'Hum) excuse me while I clear my throat!

Now many of you know my hubby is out of town on company business. He's in Brazil, South America. Yes I know he needs to be there, He's has a lot of responsibilities there and "I KNOW" he has to attend important events!

"BUT REALLY"    

Arriving at your Hotel room after 3:00am?

YES! 3:00 AM.  That's not acceptable!!!

I know my hubby, When it's 11:oo pm it's sleepy time for him!  I practically have to carry him to our bed, he's so tired!  Not so on his Business trips. He seems to always be wide awake and raring to go! 

Your probably wondering how I know about his after 3:00 am all nighter,

I guess he didn't realise, Brazil is "FOUR" hours ahead of pacific time! when he called me to check in! I guess he forgot about the time in Brazil, Duh!  I'll just blame it on Jet lag or one to many drinks for my man!

But is he so BUSTED! and that's not a good thing if your married to ME!

The only way he could make it up to me ( are you reading this Rudy?)

Is if he brings me something nice and expensive!!!

Delete, Goodbye Forever! My so called Friend

I deleted quit a few people off my Facebook friends List yesterday and I'm happy with the number I have now. I'm not trying to win any popularity contest. And no one should be offended or upset if they get taken off as a friend. It's life. Everyone does it and everyone has it happen to them, for various reasons. I know my name has been take off at times. Yikes!

This whole social networking thing is beginning to swallow my humanity. Being friends with certain people I haven’t talk to in years is too impersonal for me, and to be bombarded with pictures and comments on my wall of acquaintances and their friends' activities feels like I'm intruding on their privacy and frankly I could care less to respond. There's some people that have tried to add me that I know, but I've rejected the invite, These are people (mainly from the past) whom I'd never really talk to in real life. If I ever bumped into them, there wouldn't be a friendly comfortable conversation. When I see people with lot's of friends on their list, I wonder and think what percentage of those people are actually friends they know, or people they'd actually talk to in real life. Sorry to be so pessimistic Ha!, I like facebook, but some people do take it overboard.

The term “Friends” on facebook is a loose term because a person’s definition of a friend all depends on how they use it.

For me, I have facebook because it help me stay more socially connected (through events, photos, and feeds) with people, "My Friends" I really like and care about, but don't see much because of distance. And because of Facebook, I have connected with several wonderful classmates, I thought I'd never had the chance to get to know. and can't wait to meet again.

I don’t use Facebook as an alternate universe for real life, New friends still come from real world connections. Facebook just provides the infrastructure to make them work better.

The real value I get from facebook is;

"Staying connected with Family and old Friends I care about."

My Baby Branded for Life

A couple of weeks before our Cruise I had a conversation with Cory and it went like this:

• Mom: Cory when we go on our Mexican Cruise your are old enough to get a Tattoo (18 years old). 
• Cory: Ya I know Mom!
• Mom: Hey Cory, I'm just kidding Ha!
• Cory:  HEY MOM?
• Mom: WHAT!
• Cory: (Lifting up his shirt) Looky, Looky what I got!
• Mom: Holy *#?*! 

Let's just say, Rudy had to peel me off the floor, I was in shock for a while. My baby got a Tattoo just hours after he turned 18 years old. ERGH!!!!!!!!! 

Why a Bear?  When Cory started to get hairy a few years back, I started to call him my Bear, Cory had a Ex-girlfriend named Amanda who passed away in November. She use to called him Her Bear so in Honor of her he decided to get a big o bear.

Bring me back a Thong!

My Hubby left for Brazil this morning for a whole week! Gosh what am I gonna do without him, Hum, Well I can't go to Vegas that's for sure. Da Hubby has me on Las Vegas restriction for a while, Ya see I kinda spend a little to much on Our cruise Gambling.  How much you ask, well it was a few thousand dollars, ( just a few).. I know, I know, But ask me if I had fun?

Most of you know Rudy is Senior Director for DirecTV Latin America (DTVLA)  and is headed to Brazil to Launch high-definition (HD) services in Latin America. My poor hubby he wanted me to go with him, However I am still pooped out from our cruise and I still have " The Hives"

 

My body is reacting to a Dental procedure I had a few weeks back and it really sucks. I have to endure hours of itching and there is really nothing I could do but apply medication and overdose on Benadryl everyday. 

So as I gave my hubby a great big kiss this morning, wished him a safe trip and waved him goodbye as he walked into the airport terminal I yelled out, " Hey Baby bring me back a Bikini Thong"  Talk about making grown men blush, There were a few there that Blushed as they past me by. Oh well I can't help it, I was just being me......
