cumpleanos de mi madre

Yes, my title is in Spanish...oh well. Anywho, last night we celebrated my mom's 45th birthday, with the exception of my mother (who refused to celebrate birthdays after she turned 40). It was fun. My sister made chicken and broccoli...and I tried to help...I mostly just got the ingredients out and measured. The chicken and broccoli was so yummy!!! I love that stuff.

After dinner we watched a Glenn Beck special on Communism...it was pretty intense. You will have to look it up and watch it. Makes you think twice about big government...which is a dangerous thing, in my opinion. Well, enough there...back to birthday.

After the program we lit the candles on the cake. Sadly, our mother wouldn't let up put 45 candles on the cake...something about the house burning down or something. So we had to settle with putting just 19 candles on the cake...sad, sad. The cake was very good...chocolate fudge cake...again, yummy!

Now the funny part of the night. My niece had been acting up the whole time my mom was over...she was tired and when she gets tired she can get...annoying I guess. She will start misbehaving and such. Well, my grandpa had her over at the table in her seat and was feeding her cake. What was so funny was the fact that she was starting to nod off. My grandpa would put a piece of cake in her mouth and she would somewhat chew it and then she would lay back somewhat falling asleep. This went on for a few minutes. My mom and I were laughing so hard...and yet we were trying to stay quiet so we wouldn't wake her. It was just too cute!

They took my niece to bed very soon after (poor girl), then my mom opened her cards and presents. It was late by then so afterwards she went home and I collapsed into bed (darn antibiotics, still...see previous post on antibiotics).

It was a fun day...and it is always good to see my mom.

broken

Another band I love is Lifehouse. They are a great band. This is one of their newer songs (I say newer, because it is to me...it's been out for over a year now). It's called "Broken." The video is pretty interesting, too.

antibiotics

This past week has been pretty hectic. On Monday I went to the doctor to get something checked out. Doctor thinks it's an infection and prescribed some antibiotics. Now, for some reason, my body doesn't respond well when I take any type of pill. If there are side effects listed, I am sure to feel at least 1 or 2 of them. And that's how I'm feeling right now with these antibiotics...I've been feeling somewhat "fuzzy" in the head and have felt somewhat nauseous as well (no fun). Probably one of the reasons why I'm not much of a pill-popper. Medicine supposed to make you feel better, no worse....right?

Well, there's my nonsensical ramble of the day. Ciao.
