Late and Cool!

I am so overwhelmed with things to do, I am always doing them at the last minute. Or not doing them at all. I need to get more organized or life will eat me alive!


First, my phone is still broken. I had called the insurance to get a replacement and I am still waiting for an adjuster to call me back. I hate to be on top of people. I don't like to be making calls all day to resolve things. I still have not received the insurance money for my car repair. Arggg! Another call. I have not done anything with the traffic ticket I got a couple of weeks ago, but I am still ahead of the deadline. And the list goes on and on.


Back to the phone, I am still able to read blogs but it won't let me comment. Sorry to be absent! I try to sneak at work but it is a little hard sometimes. Specially when I am already taking a little time to write my posts : ].


Our friend Brudabaker gave us an award! It is Sharing the Love award, again! We like the fact that Brutus' mom is always taking care of foster dogs and cats. She is very special!






I posted about this very special award a couple of weeks ago (details here). Thanks for thinking of us!


Our friend Nevis posted a meme last week and tagged all of her readers, because we are all cool people! (or cool pugs?)

6 Random Things About Me:

1. I am a very responsible person but at the same time I hate to have responsibilities. Does that make any sense? The big question is: will ever decide to have my own kids? Mmmm... that's a great responsibility!

2. I love carbs. I can eat rice and pasta everyday. If I don't have carbs in a couple of days, I don't feel like I have eaten at all. I can skip meat for weeks, but I am not a vegetarian.

3. I can't eat food at lunch. I have to eat something very close to breakfast or I will sleep the afternoon in my desk. And I can't have a regular breakfast in the morning, unless it is in the weekend. I regularly have only a cup of hot milk with honey, or hot chocolate.

4. I am always cold. Always!

5. I don't like chairs. I prefer to sit in the floor instead of the chair, and I also like to lay down in the floor for a while everyday. I think it helps my back. Even though I am allergic, I like carpeted floor because it's more comfortable to me. And it is not as cold as tiled floor! (And if you are curious, wood floor is very rare and expensive in this area).

6. I love to cook but at the same time it is hard for me to iniciate the cooking process. Either I am too tired, not inspired or just don't feel like cooking; but when I do start cooking my mind goes to a happy stage of relaxation.

I just realized that Thanksgiving is in a week! Wow! A cousin of mine got married last year in Oregon and organized four different wedding receptions: in Oregon, Philadelfia, Lima (Perú) and Tampa (Florida), that way they were able to share with most of their relatives and friends. I went to the reception in Tampa with my mom, the saturday after thanksgiving. It was nice to spend the weekend with my family. Here is a picture of me in Clearwater Beach.

Speaking of family, my mom will arrive in a month! Let's see if she did overcome her jealousy issues with Coco. They are always fighting for the best seat in the car, or the biggest towel at the beach!

Wow those are some great random things about you Sandra! My Mommy is always cold too! Y'all have alot in common! How is CoCo? Me & Mommy read your first blog entries & we were like, OHHHHH so that why it always looks like his eyes are closed in pictures! He is so lucky to have you as a Mommy, I think there are people that would have given up on him & you didn't, so your a great Mommy! If you do decide to have kids(Mommy says CoCo is your kid!)they would be lucky as well!

Wow, who'da thought that your mom would be jealous of Coco? As for your organization skills, well, they get better. As for children, mom says you have to want them, really really want them. Everyone tells you how much work they are but no one tells you how much FUN they are. Mom can't imagine life without PlusOne. It would be terribly empty. even with Lucky and me.

Sandra, I'm sorry you are feeling so busy and overwhelmed right now. Life does seem to do that sometimes. Clearwater looks beautiful!

Interesting random things! Laying on the floor is very relazing on my back, too! I lay a pillow under my lower back and take deep breaths. It's a yoga pose!
