1. Cindo de Mayo
This year, Cinco de Mayo was more like Drunko de Mayo. I went to hang out with my family in Denton and the cocktails got WAY out of hand. The next morning my sister and her family were going to be in the Cinco de Mayo parade since they are Denton's Family of the Year. But I had the hardest time getting out of bed and I was mortified to find pina colada stuck in my hair. I did manage to get some pics... they're below.
2. The Perfect Storm
There's something wrong with the air in Dallas. I don't have allergies, but over the last 2 weeks I have come to understand the pain of those with allergies. I feel terrible. To make matters worse, I got a cold. My doctor told me I had an infection and had to treat BOTH the cold and the allergies. Getting a cold right in the middle of an allergy fit truly is The Perfect Storm.
3. Aurorica
My mom's name is Aurora and if you have met her you know that she's a bold presence. I sometimes refer to her as Aurorica because she could be her very own country and would probably demand to be its dictator. I know my mom is tough, but that's what makes her so perfect. On Mother's Day I always remind her that she is a rock star and I am blessed with a mom who taught me to be independent and to develop my own identity.
4. California Dreamin'
In 11 days I'm flying to California with my sweetie and my brother. We're going to see my friend B who is in law school out there. And to see my brother's friend J who has lived out there for years. AND TO SEE BOB BARKER! I have been watching The Price is Right for years, however over the last 2 months I have been studying it. If I get asked to 'come on down' I'll be ready.
5. Audrey Jane Miller
My friend Jenn and her husband had their third child, Audrey Jane. She is welcomed by two loving older brothers. Sweet Audrey was born with CDH, a birth defect in which the diaphragm does not close properly while in the womb. Therefore, the abdominal organs form in the chest area. Audrey is still in the NICU in Dallas and each day she's fighting for her life. Please keep her in your thoughts and send her some positive energy! And visit her blog if you have time.
