It's hot.

Moving sucks.  Just to let everyone know.  

Help.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

Fair?

You walk the streets of your city. You say your city like the way Americans say “their country.” You never feel right saying- my country. Because for some reason looking Mexican means you can’t be American. Still, you try at least. You try like no one else on earth tries to be in two places at once.

a good day.

Some more of my favorite things. Joni, and Pho.

Today I spent the day with Venessa, Trey and Tony. Virginia Beach is lovely. We enjoyed a day by the pool celebrating Tony's recent graduation. It was nice being surrounded by genuinely kind and loving people. So all in all I would say it was a good day.

Happy.

Today definitely felt like the LONGEST day of the year. Lately I've been needing to look at things that make me happy so here are some, 1.) Happy Birthday Panda. (obvious reasons)
2.) blue bonnets 3.) WHATABURGER (need I say more) 4.) cutest baby ever!

3rd Wheel.

Let me tell you all about two friends of mine. Their names are Walt and Karen. Today I was very pleased to hang out with both of them. Normally, this isn't uncommon because they are boyfriend and girlfriend. We had dinner and went out for a tasty treat at Baskin Robbins after our meal. I think that I enjoy their company so much because I'm equally in love with both of them, for very different reasons. So, thanks Walt and Karen for never making me feel like a third wheel.

Different.

I don't wish I was different. I just wish that there were more kids like me.

Argh...

I recently realized that I don't like being called sweetheart. It makes me think that people don't remember my name. Repeat after me, JENNY or JENESSA. Again. JENNY or JENESSA.

Dark.

I remember him dark. Or sometimes I remember it darkly. Yes, he was dark. He still is except that it is not easy to think of him as still existing, and everywhere my gaze turns he isn’t there.

I was in love once.
When you are in love no single metaphor is enough.
And you remember the night you slept with him when you were not in love and neither was he, a long time ago.

Popsicles ain't cuttin It.

It is just way too hot to not have air conditioning. At least I'm clean. I've been showering every morning and every night. Lame.

Its a Target Thing.

Posting this photo per request. Off to work, and not excited about it! I really should start getting dressed.

Friends.

Today I have friends.

Other days I feel I have none.

But today I have some.

Thanks Maria and Nadia.

Twirly Skirt Recipe.

Lovely day all in all. Woke up, rode bikes with Nadia. I surfed the net and found an awesome website where they show you directions on how to sew a twirly skirt. All of the excitment was put on hold when I had to go to work.

Later after work, Nadia and I made a trip to Lombardy Market for some green tea and bagel bites. Called Karen and had a deep conversation about the significance to the cover of the new book by Stephenie Meyer, "Breaking Dawn." I can't wait for the release August 8, 2008! Karen do you like my twirly skirt?

Sunday Treats.

I bought these sandals today. I've been looking everywhere for them. Aren't they gorgeous!

Hung out with Roman, Venessa and Trey today. Actually most of my weekends are spent with them...I wonder if they get tired of seeing my face all the time?

Sex and the City

Today, I was invited to dinner and to see the Sex and the City movie. I have to honestly say that I enjoyed the movie very much. As for the awkward dinner prior to the movie well, we'll just say that I'm glad my sister Venessa was there with me.

I think women in the audience felt some sort of deep connection with one of the four main characters. You know? The annoying women in the movie theater who gasp at a dramatic scene or comment after every major event in the movie. One of these particular women was unfortunately in our group. Every moment I knew it was coming! She always had something to say, things like "Oh my God! That happened to me too..." jeez.
