College Bowl Pick 'em

college football is officially over, boo! with the last bowl game played last week, and might i add it was a really good one, we now have to wait until august/september to watch NCAA teams go at it again to fight for that #1 spot.

this year a group of friends and i created a fantasy league for the regular season and for the bowl games. in the regular season, it was pretty much just picking who you thought was going to win. it wasn't so easy for the bowl games--you had to strategize and give points out and really do some research on each team. we made it a little more interesting and put in 20 bucks each to play. the winner walked out with 160 big ones! unfortunately, i wasn't the jackpot winner. i came in 4th out of 8 players, which isn't too bad. the chart below shows our final scores and how many picks we got right. i never realized that there were 34 bowl games!



sorry for the blurryness--i fought with the effin thing for days and this was the best i could get it to look = (

The Birthday Boy!

my nephew, elijah, is 5 years old today!! this boy is quite a character, let me tell ya. he is just down right silly and really knows how to make me laugh. for example, i called him to wish him a happy birthday, and in the middle of our conversation he says, "hold on. i need to pull up my pants because you can see my buttcrack." how can you not die of laughter after hearing a 5 year old say that? he is too much!

when elijah was born, my dad went and got him his very own bee bee gun (it's so like my dad to do something like that). now that he's somewhat old enough to use it, he goes out and shoots cans and other non-living targets. i was really impressed (and a wee bit scared) with his shooting skills--his form was perfect and his aim was way better than mine. i guess you can say he's a typical boy, but to me he's still my ridiculously cute nephew who will always get smothered with hugs and kisses no matter how old (or dirty) he might be! ahh, the perks of being an aunt...

my lil' sharp-shooter!

Baby Alexis

on the morning of monday, december 8th, i received this text:

pam & i are very happy to announce the birth of baby
alexis isabel zamora this a.m. at 8:21. she is 6 lbs. 3 oz. & 19".
mom n baby are doing fine.

to which i replied:

congratulations! i can't wait to meet her, hug her, and
teach her how to say 'bitches'!
(if you don't know me, that word is a big part of my vocabulary
and is used to end my sentences, not to be derogatory).

so my friends, greg and pam finally welcomed their new baby girl! it just seemed like yesterday that they told me that they were expecting. those 9 months sure did fly by because out came their little bundle of joy.

alexis isabel zamora

i've gotten to know pam & greg within the course of the year. i met them thru boy toy; he and greg go waaay back. i truly admire their friendship and hope that they will still be friends when they're a bunch of old farts. when all four of us hang out, it's nothing but good times. i'm so glad to have met them and call them MY friends (boy toy has to share whether he likes it or not).

pam, greg, boy toy, weezy

i couldn't be any more happier for greg & pam. their baby was born into a beautiful family and will be showered with a whole lot of lovin'...especially when weezy is around, bitches!

Happy Birthday to My Niecey-Piecey!

my oh-so adoreable niece, victoria, turns the big 0-7 today! i called her this morning before she went off to school, and i could just hear how excited she was for her big day. she is such a sweet little girl! i really, really wish i could have been there to give her a big birthday hug, but since we live 4 1/2 hours away from each other, i couldn't quite be there. instead, i sent her a lil' something to show how special she is and how much she means to me. i hope she liked her special delivery, which was the teddy bear/balloon bouquet thingy you see up on top = )

happy birthday, victoria!
tia weezy loves you!

us at disneyland!

You Know It's Christmas...

when this is on tv:



it's the original trailer (1983). pretty cool, huh?

Counting Down!

it's december already? sheesh. i mean woo-hoo! so i know most peeps are probably counting down the days until christmas, but i, on the other hand, am counting down the days until i am off for christmas break! my awesome office is closed for 7 straight working days. not very many work places get this many days off (unless you work for a school), and i couldn't tell you how stoked and excited me and my co-workers are to get the hell up outta there!

as for me, i don't know what i'm going to do with those seven days?! i won't be waking up at 5:30 like i usually do on a work day, thats for darn sure! a few days will be spent back home for jesus' birfday (there's more than just getting presents that day, you greedy bitches!), while the others will just be spent a-chillin and a-relaxin! hopefully some snow will fall and i can hit up the slopes on my snowboard for a day, but making snow fall from the sky is out of my hands so we'll see.

so as of today, just 16 more working days, then i'll be set free to do whateva the hells i want for 7 awesomely rad, work-free days!! let my happy dance begin! it looks something like this:

I Want a Dog

since i can't have one right now, i at least get to play with this guy...

meet pancho!! (don't let those innocent eyes fool ya)

he is one funny, crazy, and loveable pooch! he belongs to rich, so whenever i go over, pancho gets allll of my attention. he's already grown so much, i can't imagine how big he'll be when he's a full sized doggy.

the above pics were taken a couple of months ago, here are some more recent ones (with his same favorite toy). he posed so nicely for a few shots, then he got annoyed and went after my camera, which explains the close up:

i just can't get enough of him and his hyper active personality! i can't wait until the day that i have a dog of my own...i already have a name picked out and everything, hehe.
