Oh my Gosh I'm in love with Mac! aka "24inch-2.8GHz" I just met him tonight and I am madly in love. What turned me on to him was his 24inches of screen and he is Loaded with iLife. He is moving in with me tomarrow. He will be getting some special add-ons and be ready for my pick-up in the early afternoon. Rudy and I have been shopping around for a new laptop for me and tonight we found it! It's not a laptop it's so much better than that, It's iMac 24 inch desktop computer designed and built by Apple. It took one second and I was in love. I just had to have it! and I did ! I told you everyday is Christmas. Thanks Rudy I love you!

Newspapers, brown bags and paper plates

I don't know about you but I HATE to touch brown paper bags! I also hate the feel of newspapers, and paper plates. My hubby Rudy thinks I am weird. brown paper bags and newspapers and paper plates are very normal, everyday things but I just HATE the feel of them. Am I alone? are there normal everyday things you hate to touch?

Peter Gan

Tonight I grieve my wonderful friend and brother I wished I had. We shared our good times and bad times together. He was such a comedian who always had me laughing especially thru my very hard times. He was always there for me ready to protect me when something went wrong. I lost touch with Peter many years ago. We both worked for Northwest Airlines, I always wonder whatever happen to Pete. with the Holidays fast approaching Something inside of me decided to Google him tonight.  I came across his name on Myspace I smiled and said found you my friend!  As I waited for the Myspace to open up  I recognized his face and told myself " That's Peter long hair, cigarette always burning, that's my Filipino Brother. Than my Heart SANK Peter Gan Memorial Page! WHAT! I must of typed it in wrong. I really wanted it to be a big mistake. It was not a mistake it was real. Oh Peter your really gone.  How I wish you where still here to see how GOD has healed me from my addictions and has saved my marriage and family. You would of loved to chat with my son's. My oldest Jonathan still remembers you! I know you are in Heaven now with your long beautiful hair blowing in the wind and instead of cigarettes you are blowing cloud smoke. Ha. Peter thank you for being there when I needed a friend, I just wish I was there for you and your wonderful family when you became ill. I love you my brother! and will always be missed

It's official now my babies have another girl to share their hearts with besides their Mommy. My JonJon and Kokie Boy are officially dating. I can't believe I said that. I've always told my boys don't date YET! Wait till you get older. I guess I didn't realize that time has come and I refuse to accept it. Ergh! I want my boys to stay young forever. Jonathan's girlfriend is such a sweet and beautiful girl. Her name is Brittny. I am proud to call her My son's Girlfriend and my Bonus daughter. Brittney is putting "Herself" through Fashion Design college full time and holds down two job and dating Jon. Wow what a girl!

He introduced her as his Girlfriend Yikes!!! This was the very first time my child has introduced any girl as his girlfriend. I knew this day would come oh Gosh! I'm feeling old. Cory's girlfriend is very quite but very nice and polite. Hmmm, reminds me of myself when I was her age and that scares me, Ha! Now Pray for me. Dear Jonathan and Cory, You both make me smile more, laugh more, think more and ultimately feel more alive than anyone I’ve ever known, besides your Father. You are unique, and yet I see myself reflected in the both of you in so many ways.

Charleston Dance Lesson #1

I would of love to be living back in the 1920's. I love the music, The styles back then and I have always wanted to learn how to dance the Charleston . So last night Rudy and I had our first Charleston dance lesson last night. Our son Jonathan Video tape our dance number check it out!

What If?

Last night Rudy and I snuggled up on the couch to watched License to Wed. It is a real cute movie. In the middle of the movie there was a scene where John Krasinksi and Mandy Moore arrived late to church. It had Rudy and I thinking Hmmm! Can he?, Would he? We Both said of course he would He's Pastor Trotter. For those of you who don't know who Pastor Trotter is he is only the most funniest, wackiest and the only craziest spontaneous Lead Pastor we know. Ha! And we love everything about him. We attend Revolution Church and there are times when someone forgets to turn off his/her cellular phone, so it goes off and Trotter stops the service looks for the ringing cell phone and answers it. He would have a conversation with the calling party telling them he is in the middle of giving a sermon. It's so funny. So when we saw this funny scene I had to download it onto my laptop and share it with you. Enjoy!! ( I learned how to change a VOB file to AVI and MPEG file. It took me a couple of hours but hey I have the time.) An all-star cast inhabits this romantic comedy about a couple who must endure a humiliating obstacle course of a marriage-training program in order to gain permission to wed from their church's over-the-top reverend (Robin Williams). Hilarity follows as the lovebirds (Mandy Moore and THE OFFICE’S John Krasinksi) put their devotion to the test. From the moment they met in a Starbucks line, the couple was prone to cute mishaps and clumsiness, but they also displayed amazing chemistry. Then Reverend Frank and his creepy child assistant intervene, putting Sadie and Ben through a torturous process which involves couples counseling, bedroom surveillance, and a very funny sequence in which the couple must take care of two robotic fake babies while shopping for their registry at Macy’s. Packed with OFFICE cameos, LICENSE TO WED promises laughs up until the end.

Papa's Finally Home!

Click arrow to watch the Homecoming Video I made

Sgt. Patrick Weydemuller has returned home! (Father of our beautiful Triplets Kieran, Haydan and Presley) He's finally come home after being away for 8 long weeks. He was away on Military Training in South Carolina.

Friday night Angela ( Mommy of the Triplets, My little sister ) Kieran, Haydan & Presley and I, Picked Papa up at LAX Airport Friday Night. If your wondering why the kiddies are in their Halloween costumes it's because Papa did not get to see them in their costumes on Halloween, so Angela thought it would be fun to dressed them up all over again so Papa can see for himself how cute they all looked.

Kieran, Haydan and Presley were so excited to have their Papa back they could not get enough of him. They all had the biggest smile on their sweet faces and all Night long they could not take their eye's off him and stayed very very close to him and would call his name over and over again Papa, Papa.

Welcome Back Sgt. Weydemuller. We are so Proud of your accomplishments.

It's that time of year of Greed, Selfishness and Sheer Madness

A friend and I having fun in front of Mr.Santa Okay as you can see by my long post I really hate Christmas. Before I start to sound off about Christmas I want to let you what this season means to my family and I. First let me say my childhood Christmas has always been exciting and fun and full of wonderful memories. My Parents and siblings don't understand why I have become such a BahHumbug. They all go all out every year and have competitions with each other on who has the most decorations up. I started hating Christmas about 10 years ago. I don't know how to make my story short enough where you could understand why we don't celebrate it without boring you. Hum I'll just say The Ramirez Family don't do presents, we say everyday is Christmas we get whatever we want all year around. We never go without anything. Our Santa (Rudy) is the most giving, generous person in the world. I have what I call a never ending supply of money checking account and so do our boys. So you see who needs a day of Christmas Presents when we have everyday of the year to receive presents.Yes we do have a big dinner on Christmas day. We spend that day with friends who don't have a family to spend it with. I love it we have been doing this for a couple of years now. I do put out a Christmas Tree only because My friends from Walmart know I don't do Christmas and thought they would change my mind by saving me a remote control Pop up tree with all the decorations and light already on the tree all I have to do is plug it in and the tree grown about 8 feet tall. A couple of days before Christmas last year I was shopping in Walmart and the employees from Walmart surprised me with this tree. I took it home and fell in love with it. I've always hated Christmas decoration they just seem so cheesy to me so I don't bother.and don't ask me! ..................................................................... We are told that "He is the reason for the season", which anyone can see as a lie to most of society. ."Shopping is the reason for the season." It's better to give than to receive? Yea, right. If everyone just sat around and waited to receive, no one would be shopping! I think that the modern Christmas that we celebrate now is nothing but an artificial holiday invented by retailers I seriously don’t think anybody can truly lay out it’s true meaning anymore… I remember it use to be about an attitude from the heart of sharing, reflection, and spending time with the ones you love. For those who believe in Christianity it is supposed to be a quiet remembrance of the Biblical Christmas story. Most of the traditions make no sense to me. Why decorate my house with lots of colors like Red and white and stupid Christmas decor " LIKE FAKE SNOW" Especially fake snow on your front lawn and windows. What's up with that!!! I live in sunny Southern California it hardly ever rains here so when I see fake snow on peoples Lawns and windows it drives me crazy. When you actually start to shop, it's sheer madness. You can't get a parking spot, the lines are endless, tempers flare, etc. After you endure all the chaos of trying to find that 'special gift' for everyone, You come home with a bad headache and tired and still have to clean house and make dinner for the company you forgot was coming. You start to want to kick yourself in the rear for offering to have Christmas at your home for the whole entire family. (usually about 35 show up) and If your family is like mine love/hate relationship and full of dysfunctional individuals who love to pick fights right before the big gathering because I invited or disinvited someone (You know what I go through.) When Christmas comes, everyone gets together and watches as everyone else opens gifts and puts on a horrible display of bad acting because the gift they got sucked and pretends its great. Soon after Christmas, retailers whine about how shoppers were stingy this year, and how they didn't make any money. They are bombarded by people returning gifts that sucked. And when your credit card bills arrives, you realize that you have absolutely no financial self control. And why do I want to receive a Christmas card from someone I don’t communicate with the rest of the year telling me they wish me a happy holiday. Oh I get it they don't care the rest of the year to call me to just say Hello and how am I doing? Or you get a card in the mail from someone you forget existed. and let's not forget the ones who only send E-mail Christmas Holiday Cheer. Okay someone shoot me now! ERGH! I dislike Christmas cards. They are the biggest waste of money and natural resources ever invented by humans. Yet of course before Christmas, everyone gets so competitive about the process, purchasing and distributing them by the bag load. I hardly sent out Christmas cards but it's the least I can do to show a little Christmas Cheer,I just send them out to my immediate family to shut them up. Ha! So every year I experience awkward situations when people hand me a card and I give them nothing. Fortunately, most get the message once, and avoid me the year later. I have gotten better the last two years in the send out Holiday card department (Yikes) But I make sure to avoid saying Happy Christmas. And my biggest problem with Christmas is :I hate how everyone remembers the poor and homeless people for two weeks, They can't get enough of signing up to buying Christmas Holiday cheer for them. and then promptly forgets about them again till next Christmas. Do what I do. I tell everyone I don't do Christmas and You will not be buying any gifts. You will not be happy to receive any gifts. And "why can't we all say to our "loved ones', "As a Christmas gift, I want you to save the time and mental energy of finding a present for me. Use the money for something you would like at a time most convenient to you." Now, that actually might be pleasant. I don't care what other people think of me when Christmas comes around. I know everyone thinks I'm a rude, cheap human being who doesn't have the Christmas spirit. SO WHAT! I am not mean Spirited. Just a Bah-Humbug for Christmas I HATE everything about it and can’t wait until it’s over!

11 REASONS WHY I HATE CHRISTMAS

11 REASONS WHY I HATE CHRISTMAS

(1) SELFISHNESS OF CHRISTMAS I hate the selfishness of Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I'm as selfish as the average person, if not more so, However Christmas time is the ultimate selfish period of the year and everyone denies it. People will ram you to get a car park at a shopping mall. They push past you desperately seeking the last ham or toy. I was told by a police officer that this is actually the worst period for dangerous driving. People are in a rush and they don't care who else they hurt as long as they are okay. It's the selfish gene at its most virulent- everyone looking after their own family at the expense of everyone else. Yet we call it the season of good will.

(2) CHRISTMAS SHOPPING The insanity begins the day after Thanksgiving, when anyone with two brain cells to rub together will stay the hell away from anything resembling a retail store. Somehow, though, the idiots come out in force every year. And there's no let-up until at least the second week of January, because even after Christmas, people return their unwanted gifts And it's not as if the Christmas shopping season begins in November: you start seeing Christmas commercials and store decorations as early as September. Which brings me to...

(3) CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS (EARLY-BIRDS) The only thing worse than the moron who waits until December 24 to do all his or her Christmas shopping is the smug person who has all their shopping done by July. Mainly a woman! (Name one guy who have their shopping done before December.) Now, so as not to irk those (women) who conscientiously buy their Christmas gifts a little at a time during the year: I am speaking here of the ones who can't resist telling you, "Oh, I got all my shopping done before July." In other words: It's fine by me if they do it; I just don't want to hear it. Because it makes me want to divide such people into 10 little undetected pieces. So for those people, some advice: If the topic comes up ... lie. Claim that you're even farther behind on your shopping than the rest of us. That's the best gift you can give your friends.

(4) CHRISTMAS GIFTS I hate gift giving. The whole giving-and-getting thing is so ridiculous. When you exchange gifts with someone, you feel bad if the gift you gave them is cheaper than the gift they gave you; you also feel bad if it's the reverse. "Wow, a DVD player! Uh ... thanks ... I got you a bag of chips." You calculate just how much to spend on each person, which means you're basically putting a price on your love. How much is Mom worth? $150? $200? How about your cousin? And when you add in all the time spent looking for gifts, (5) SANTA CLAUS What is the point of Santa Claus anyway? Is he a substitute for Jesus? Or is he just an excellent marketing tool for retailers? Whatever the case, if a big fat man tried to enter most peoples' houses in the middle of the night, half the population would blow him away with the shot gun they keep stashed under the bed for such purposes. The other half would lock their doors and ring 911. The point is- we tell our children constantly to beware of strangers and intruders, then for one month of the year we demand they go sit on some fat man's lap and accept his offer of candy and gifts. And when he breaks into our house we leave him cookies and milk. To be honest I don't really hate this aspect of Christmas, but I find it strange, that's all. (6) HELPING THE NEEDY I hate how everyone remembers poor people and homeless people for two weeks, They can't get enough of signing up for buying x-mas cheer for them. and then promptly forgets about them again till next Christmas. (7) CHRISTMAS CARDS I really hate receiving a Christmas card from someone I don’t communicate with the rest of the year telling me they wish me a happy holiday. Oh I get it they don't care the rest of the year to call me to just say Hello and how am I doing? and lets not forget E-mail Christmas Cheer. (8) CHRISTMAS PARTIES Especially work-related. Every year DirecTV would put on a real big production and go all out for Christmas parties for Employees and their family. Now it only held for Employees! Who cares about the family attitude that what these big corporate companies have turned into. So the only ones having holiday cheer and drinking up the spiked eggnogs are our spouse having fun without us. Oh ya and lets not forget office parties every year I make a big Potluck dish for Rudy to take with him and I can't enjoy participating in.

(9) ALCOHOL I am greatly in favor of some forms of alcohol during the Holiday as it is a great social lubricant (I said SOCIAL. Honestly, some people.). But drinking during the holidays can turn someone into another slobbering festive idiot who whines about what Santa did not give him/her for Christmas, or Cries about not being with family members they are not even close to, or recapping the year of what they did not accomplished.

(10) CHRISTMAS MUSIC Christmas Music is so annoying on many levels. Why would I even want to sing about the snowy weather outside, a sleigh ride or even roasting chestnuts on an open fire! HELLO we live in sunny California. and if you really listen to the words of most songs they are all so ridiculous. REALLY.

(11) PEOPLE LIKE ME Finally, I dislike politically correct people like myself who cynically whine constantly about how Christmas is so consumer driven and everyone is selfish and the music is tacky etc etc. We seem to think we are the only ones who see it that way! HA!
