Saturday 9: Letters From the Sky

Welcome to this week's edition of Saturday 9, hosted by Crazy Sam . Link up here if you're playing along!

1. Do you believe that we will ever be contacted by beings from another planet?
I believe that we already have been... NO I am not a crazy alien fanatic, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that WE are the only intelligent beings in the entire universe.  AND if we are.... ho humm.....





2. Have you or a family member ever traced your family tree?
I know my mom has to a point, and a distant cousin traced my mom's side back to Spanish lords or something of that nature... pretty cool...





3. Did you ever consider an acting career?
NOPE, I have a HUGE fear of public speaking so that kills that aspiration.





4. What is the funniest situation you’ve witnessed in a religious setting?
OMG I went to a hispanic christian church for a while and the funniest thing I saw was people being "filled" by the Holy Spirit... I seriously couldn't hold my laugh in... btw I am sooo not trying to offend any christians that may be reading this post, I am catholic and this was way more "lively" than what I am used to.





5. What's the first movie you remember ever seeing in a theater?
I remember seeing Rocky II, I think I was like 5 or 6... but I fell in love with Rocky!





6. What's the most difficult confession you've ever had to make?
Personal... but it was difficult.



7. What is a city that you have visited and hated?
None that I can recall





8. Has anyone in your life been "they one who got away"?
Yup





9. Why do you think the 10 foot duck walked into the bar on Thursday Thunks?
WHAT????


HAPPY SATURDAY!!!!

Saturday 9: UPSIDE DOWN...

Click here to link up with Samantha if you're playing along today!

1. When was the last time that you felt your world got turned upside down?

October 2008, without getting into details I had a HUGE blowout with my husband and I thought we were all done...  but thank God things blew over we talked and we started new.



2. Should the United States do more to help its own citizens before helping people in other countries?


I think that the US should stop being considered the World's Police... that is very Roosevelt, we are no longer a super power, our economy sucks... I think each country should try to help itself and if it can't then all the countries in good economic states should come together and help.  JMHO


3. What was something you memorized for school and still can recall?


I still remember my adjectives sung to yankee doodle dandy...



4. With what types of people do you tend to associate?


I like to associate with fun people, that have a great sense of humor...



5. Besides blogging what is the last creative thing that you've done?


Knitting and gardening... although not too creative but I am imagining all the yumminess soon to come.




6. In nature, what outdoor activities do you enjoy the most?


Soaking in the sun and listening to nature... or playing soccer... or just being outdoors.



7. When was the last time that you had a great belly laugh?


OMG just a few minutes ago watching Sebastian "chase" Tyler around the house.



8. What kind of fashion-sense attracts you?


I'm very ecclectic...



9. What traits in others turn you off?


Hypocracy, liars, those who think they are better than me... and having to repeat myself OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN....
 
:oP

Saturday 9- Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

Saturday 9: Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

I know that this is a second Saturday 9, and that it's not Saturday... but I liked this one so I'm throwing you a freebie!  Link up with Samantha and check out some other Saturday 9ers!

1. When was the last time (in a romantic setting) you have told someone that you loved them?


This past week I told my husband that I loved him, because the feeling welled up in my heart and I had to say it.

 2. Tell us about your very first romantic kiss.


I think that every "first" kiss is romantic in its own special way... but the first kiss with Carlos was romantic because we had been dating online... and I took a trip to Barranquilla to meet him and see if we wanted to actually try to have a real relationship.  He picked me up at the airport and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest, he was the most decent gentleman, he gave me a hug and a peck on the cheek.  I was kinda shocked that he didn't try to kiss me, but I liked that.  He had come with friends, and since it was still light out and hot (as it always is in Barranquilla) he asked if I wanted to go to the beach.  So off we all headed and we listened to music, laughed and drank, then I just had to run into the water... but I'm petrified of sharks so I made him hold my hand as I walked into the ocean.  I remember the sun was setting a gorgeous pink over the horizon, and he pulled me into his arms, as we talked, I just was captivated by his eyes and I leaned in and then he kissed me.  I swear that I forgot we had other people around us, that we were in the water, it was as if time had stood still.  That was my most romantic kiss in MANY years.



3. What was/is your idea of the perfect date?


My idea of a perfect date, is to be with someone I love or really like, and just be together enjoying our company.



4. What music would you prefer when you are “getting it on”?


hee hee hee... I tend to block all else out when "I'm getting it on"!!!



5. What is the most amazing experience you’ve ever shared with a partner?


I think that the most amazing experience I've shared was with my husband and that was at the birth of our son.... it was one of a kind and better than anything I've ever shared.

6. Sex is best saved for: love, marriage, alcohol, days that end in “y”?

Days that end in "y" definitely!!!



7. Have you ever kissed a stranger?


ummm, I try to avoid running up to random strangers and laying one on them.



8. What's missing from your life?


Nothing really, I'm very happy where I am right now.




9. Are you a giver or taker?


Definitely a giver... and I am usually giving more than what others deserve, but that is how I roll.
 

So, leave me a comment if you are playing so I can check out your answers... I really like this meme.
 
:oP

1. As you get older, do you find that kicks are harder to find?


Nope... I get my kicks whenever I can... and I always find them... just ask!

2. Who is your favorite relative and why?


I think my favorite relative has to be my.....  hmmmm good question!  I think my cousin Jasmine, she's older, but she's so much fun, and laid back... I can talk to her and not feel like I'm talking to a parent.  I love her she's great!


3. Who is the most important person in your life?


My kids are the most important persons in my life.  Hands down... Life has already taught me better!


4. Name one thing you used to do that you are not proud of.


Hmmm... I'm a BIG flirt... uh hmmm, I mean a USED to be a big flirt.  To the point that I was a huge tease... I was never into promiscuity, but I led many a poor man to believe that they would get more than they were really gonna get! 


5. Tell us about the furthest you've ever been from what you consider "home".


The furthest away was when I lived in Colombia for 6 months when I was 14.


6. Who would you want to be locked in a room with for 24 hours?


My hubby... hee hee hee.... need I say more??

7. What are you doing this weekend?


Since this was for this past saturday.... I really had no plans, the kids were with their dad, so usually I veg at home with Carlos and the baby.


8. Other than your own, whose car were you in last?


Carlos'... I'm usually in his or mine.


9. Tell us about the last compliment that you've received.


At the speed knitting contest I was in on Saturday, I showed a woman a pic of the kids, and she looked at me in awe and asked if I started having kids when I was 10!!!  She thought I was in my early twenties... God Bless her soul... that's a compliment I'll take anyday.

So.... leave a comment if you're playing, or just if you're reading.

:OP

Saturday 9

Welcome to another saturday meme, a little more useless information to give you a better insight into my twisted yet loveable psyche.... not really, but it sounded good ... right?!


Thanks to Melanie whom has hooked me on these memes and Samantha at Saturday 9 that gets us all together!  Link up to Samantha's site and check out more blogs and more interesting facts.....






1. Is there a blog as far as its appearance goes that you think is the most fabulous?



hmmm, none that jump out at me at this moment... but any blog that has lots of pics and interesting comments I find fabulous... Although I really enjoy reading Mel's blog cuz her kiddies are a bunch of cuties... and also another Melanie at Big Mama cuz she always makes me laugh...




2. Do you like the look and the contents of your blogs?


I do like the look and content of my blog... silly its mine!!! I like to change up my background every few months, usually something thematic to go with the current season... and the contents, OF COURSE I LIKE... its all about my family!




3. Have you ever thought what would happen to your blog in case you died?


"Um, no. I have bigger considerations."  I'm with Mel on this one... I'm guessing it will live on forever for prosperity's sake.




4. Has any particular blogger had a great impact on how you set up and write your blog?


No, I just blab about whatever comes to mind or whatever I happen to be dwelling on that day.




5. Would you want a fellow blogger to give you suggestions or criticism of what you write?


Not so much criticisms and suggestions, but I welcome all comments... good or bad. 



6. Is the number of visitors each day to your blog important to you?


No, I don't really care... again its more or a way for me to speak my mind and if someone reads and wants to comment, even better.




7. What percentage of your readers do you think actual comment?


ummm... I'll say 90% because I have like 3 steady readers that I know of.




8. Do you have a favorite blogger who does the memes that you participate in?


hee hee hee... that would be my buddy Melanie, because I steal borrow them from her!

 



9. How often do you update your blog/site and why?


I would like to update my blog daily, but life doesn't usually allow for that.  So I post as often as I can, usually when the kids are asleep, away or not bothering me...




Sooooo, I hope you comment, let me know if you play so I can read yours too!


;o)

Saturday 9- Talking in your sleep

Link up with Samantha at Saturday 9 if you're playing along today.




1. Has anyone in your life talked in their sleep?

Oh my... I talk in my sleep all the time, and the best part is... I talk in english AND spanish!  Oh yeah, both my kids talk in their sleep too! Fully understandable and making absolutely no sense, whatsoever!  I had Isabel at the foot of my bed one night playing a board game in her sleep; Tyler talking about hiding I don't know what so Isabel can't find it.


2. What do you like about Fall?

I love the foliage and the holidays... Halloween and Thanksgiving (who doesn't love turkey day!), warm apple pie with vanilla ice ceam... yummmm  ohhh or warm pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheese cake! OMG I'm hungry again!

3. Do you have an addictive personality?

Unfortunately I think I do... I tend to throw myself into things all the way and get obsessive about things... it kinda sucks.

4. Who was the last person to do something extra special for you?

Hmmmm, I would say that I don't remember... how sad is that.

5. Would you ever take someone back if they cheated on you?

I have, don't really recommend it because the loss of trust usually ruins the relationship.

6. Are you happy with where you are in life?


I am, I have 3 wonderfully beautiful (handsome) children, a great husband, and I have the opportunity to stay home with my kids.  I would like to be better off financially, but hell 2 out of 3 ain't bad... right!?
7. Do you believe that you can change someone?

Absolutely not!  I've tried it and it so doesn't work.  If that person doesn't have the desire or the will to change, then you will get a wonderful lesson in futility... lots of spinning tires and no movement.

8. Have you ever wished you could've had someone but you couldn't?

Honestly... who hasn't?

9. Would you ever fight someone over your significant other?

I almost have, and I do believe I would.  I am very jealous (i know, not my best trait) and I am very possessive.

If you are playing along, leave a comment so I can check out your comments.

;o)

Saturday 9- Man on the Moon

If you know me at all... I'm a stealer of meme's I find other blogs... particularly Melanie's because I read hers more!!!  Sooooo that being said, If you're paying along today, be sure and link up with Samantha!


1. Do you think it was important to send a man to the moon?

Absolutely, it opened up the doors for further space exploration and discovery, as well as opened the possibilities for new discoveries and new technology.

2. What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear, which is totally unfounded, is of being attacked by a shark.  I don't know... if you do please let me know! I think I watched too much Jaws as a child!

3. If someone hung a sign around your neck today, what would it say and why?

OMG... PLEASE GET DRESSED!  I've been lounging in my pj's since this morning... its kinda dismal out today, no rain, just gloomy... not conducive to getting me motivated and dressed.

4. What is the longest line that you've stood in and was it worth it?

I believe that would be any line I stood in for rides at Disney when I went as a child.  I would have to say it was worth it, but dammmmnnnn WTF is all the waiting for! The rides only last like 2 minutes!


5. As the holidays approach, what song are looking forward to hearing again?

I love all christmas carols and villancicos (spanish christmas carols) I absolutely love Little Drummer Boy. That's the one that makes it feel like christmas for me.


6. Whose music do you think is the most important of your generation?

I think that my generation is a little musically impaired... and as evidence of such I give you the following:
Brittany Spears ( I really could just stop here)
Back Street Boys
98 degrees
Christina Aguilera
Vanilla Ice - he soooo takes the cake!!!
Sir Mix A Lot-  BABY GOT BACK....

Yes, I am of early 90's generation....


7. Do you find it is to be kind to strangers? Give an example.

If the question is do I find it EASY to be kind to strangers... I would say yes.  Generally people will smile at a smile, and say hello if you initiate.  I tend to think that it makes people feel good to have a total stranger smile and say hello.
8. When do usually lose your patience?

When my 10 yo Isabel decides to whine, stomp her feet and generally just through a tantrum because she didn't get the answer she wanted!  Get over it already!!! jeez!  There is nothing more frustrating than a tantrum from a child old enough to know that that is sooo not ok!

9. Is there a book that you're dying to see as a movie?

I generally do not go gaga over books made into movies.  I love to read great books, I let my imagination run free and make up my own movie.  Going to see the movie is usually a buzz kill because I pick it apart and point out all that was changed or left out.  I don't like it.

:o)

Saturday 9- Let's Go To Bed

Saturday 9: Let's Go To Bed

To play along, link up with Samantha!

Here are my answers:

1. Has a relationship been affected by how one of you slept?


Yup... I tend to chit chat in my sleep, in both English and Spanish!!!  Of course this didn't negatively affect my relationship, but it makes for great conversation in the morning!  I have named people in my sleep that maybe I shouldn't have.... but come on now... stop evesdropping on me!





2. What side of the bed do you sleep on?


I like to sleep on the right side of the bed, but was on the left for the last year and then switched back! Can I tell you, it is so hard for me to switch sides!  If given the choice, I'd sleep in the middle of the bed.




3. Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?


I sleep on my belly. I will be wide awake, as soon as I lay on my belly... that's it.




4. Describe the bedding on your bed right now. How does it change with the seasons? Are you particular about your pillows or linens?


I have the softest bamboo sheets that I bought from Target and a quilt on my bed.  It really doesn't change other than I wash them, or add a super soft velour blanket on the bed in the winter... that's about it.  I am super particular about both pillows and linens.  ESPECIALLY my pillows... once they flatten out or someone else sleeps on MY pillow... that's it, it is no longer comfy to me.  I don't know man... that's just how things are.


5. When sleeping with someone, do you hog the bed, steal covers, or snore?


I've been told I snore... I have yet to hear myself snore, so I'm not buying it.


I tend to keep to my space... and I do like to hog the covers.

6. What do you wear to bed? If it varies, explain.


In the summer, only if its super hot... I'll sleep in the nude.  I generally wear shorts and a tank top to bed though.  If its cold I'll start off in sweats and socks, and end up in shorts and a tank top.




7. No matter how much you love someone, would you rather sleep alone?


I love sleeping with someone, especially my hubby... but my kids will do too!  Although, I have days when I would rather be left alone!  But don't we all???




8. Tell us about a time when you awoke in bed, saw the person next to you and thought, "Oh, no..."


Oh God!  I beleive we have ALL had this moment... mine was due to a drunk dailing and I woke up in the morning and was like why am I not alone???? ohh well... could have been worse, I guess!




9. Tell us about a time when you awoke thinking it was a different day than it was.


I hate to say this happens more often than not to me... but I think the most memorable would have to be I "over slept" and jumped out of bed, got dressed and ran out the door to the car... to realize I wasn't late for work... it was SATURDAY!  WTF!!!
