one more day
one more day ... i woke up this morning to get ready for the spa day and was doing some stuff with the seating chart because we had to change a couple tables for a couple reasons but it all worked out and thought it was 8:30 and realized that it was 7:30 and then realized that i had been awake since 6:45 and not 7:45. geez i'm retarded sometimes. anyway, rehearsal was nutty. the a/c wasn't on and it was steaming and the lady was not very helpful but gomez said that he does it his own way anyway so we should be fine. all right all is well in almost Lopez-ville =)

Unbelievable weekend
i had such an unbelievable weekend - it was unbelievable! i can't thank the ladies that hosted enough- it was awesome - especially my wonderful matron of honor who planned everything in her pregnant state - love you ate! i could have done without getting rear-ended on the way home - that sucked hard core. but my sister went to the ER and was cleared and is following up with her primary care today.
but this weekend was crazy! we went down to san diego for my bachelorette party - there was 11 of us total and got to the hotel and got ready where i was accesorized with a penis crown and penis veil, a pink sash, a boa and a penis straw. and then i got the cutest scrapbook a girl could ask for - thanks day! and then i got scratcher dare cards that i had to do throughout the night and we made our way to dick's last resort. took lots and lots of shots and i think i only got through 3 dares but boy were those entertaining! found out that there really are witches in england! and found out that 8 to 9 shots may be too much for my body! we made our way to the carne asada fries place where i proceeded to puke on the side of the cab AND i cleaned it up myself - i'm a nurse i can't help it. my sister was in line to get me more water and then the guys were there and were like, "look she's puking again! and her friends made her clean it up the first time. they suck" and my sister stood there non-chalantly. i can't blame my sister - she'd get more nauseous with it. i didn't mind. even in my drunken stupor i was able to do my job. we made it back to the hotel where i continued to pray to the porcelain god all night. then we woke up on saturday morning and i was good. all night i tried to re-hydrate myself - apparently cheering myself on throughout the night. but i wasn't alone in my vomiting - i had two partners so that's good.
we went to the Grand Hyatt Spa and it was awesome! all the girls said it was the best massage or treatment they ever got! i got a facial and a body wrap and it was awesome! we went shopping and then got ready for dinner. had dinner at stingaree where we couldn't call anyone by their real name. if you did, you had to do a dare - mina and dana both had 5! franny picked us up from stingaree and we went to some tavern where we proceeded to do the dare cards and saw grish, brian and the guys outside where dana told them to go away! no throwing up that night - yay!
woke up sunday, checked out and went to extraordinary desserts - they were awesome and soooooo yummy! then on our drive home i was looking at pictures and all of a sudden hear my sister - who was driving - say "what's this lady doing?" and BOOM! we get hit from behind. crazy lady! we were going about 60 - 65 and she ran into us! we think from the damages she was trying to change lanes and missed. the damage to her car is the front passenger and ours was the driver side rear and quarter panel. and it was her company vehicle. it sucked. we were ok - actually dana saw us standing on the side of the road and they exited the next exit and we met up with them after. we went to SCRIPPS to get my sister checked out because of the baby and they cleared her by 6 and to follow up with the OB. it was scary. but thank God there was no air bag deployment - that would have been really scary!
anyway, thanks for a wonderful weekend. pictures to be posted later - not on my site but on my sister's. love ya ladies!

wine galore
i'm sitting in joey's grandma's back room and am surrounded by liquor. Saturday's theme is "A Night in Naples" and there's 10 different kinds of wine but there is also 2 different kinds of tequila, 2 different kinds of rum, vodka, jack, beer and smirnoff. i told grandma i wanted to try all of the different wine and she said "good girl." i would pass out. maybe i'll grow an appreciation for it.

showers galore
a big thanks to all the ladies that threw the bridal shower on saturday - it was awesome! there was so much food and the chocolate fountain was so yummy and there was purple and gold everywhere - i loved it! this was like wedding shower games for the advanced because they were tough! but everyone had a good time and i can't thank our bridesmaids enough! next up is joey's side of the family plus the couple friends. and then my co-workers are throwing one for us the week after - then the showers are done and the big day approaches! still so much to finish but it's in the works. anyway, i haven't posted pix from the shower but my wonderful matron-of-honor aka my sister did

my civic duty
so i finished jury duty today. i've been on jury duty since last wednesday. we sat in the box until today and we settled the case today. it was a civil suit and we were just awarding monies. i'm actually happily surprised that we ruled the way we did. i thought it was going to take a while longer for the 12 of us to agree on such things. our forewoman lady was really pushy - she came into jury duty stating she loved jury duty and she felt like she was on vacation. apparently this is the 4th time she's been on a case and she actually calls if she doesn't get her notice - how weird! the plantiff was asking for $1.5 million - from medical bils (past and future) and pain and suffering (past and future). i think they were a little disappointed when we awarded $27,074 - and $11K was for medical bills alone. that's too bad really because a third is going to the attorney. what a waste of time - the accident happened 5 years ago. anyway, six and a half more weeks til i become mrs. lopez - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

so the countdown begins
eight more weeks until the big day ...
so many things done, but so many more things to do
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE O'S - the most awesome friends and paper people ever with even more patience than an elephant (do elephants have patience?) when i saw the printed version that they had to work with and that they had to individually cut each one - i would have strangled myself. you two are wonderful!
so now all the other nitty gritty stuff comes along and that process has begun too ... so it's ok, all is good. mark said he was surprised i wasn't stressed. i said i don't really get stressed. ha!
had breakfast with mark and dana this morning and that was awesome. we were making fun of dana because she's so sappy now. haha. just kidding. but you know you are. hehe. it's always good to hang out after so long and just kind of continue like there wasn't even a gap, an understanding between friends of different ways of thinking but so much to the core of their very being that we know how they work and why they would feel the way that they feel. it's nice.
anyway, had more dance lessons today. i got really dizzy spinning but all in all i think it was a good productive lesson.
we finished all of the pictures to give to gabe so we can check that off.
i told joey's mom that i didn't want lingerie at my shower and she said that i had to have some - that's what a "personal" shower is for. she wants to get me the crotchless panties - she's crazy. or she suggested the swing to go in the poker room - i said yeah, it would definitely be a "poker" room. she said that we had to be creative and open to ideas in the beginning with sex. i'm telling you - it's so weird having this conversation with your mother-in-law.
anyway, our new nephew has a name - asher albert. we get to go to his shower tomorrow. i hope he comes on time or late because if he shows up 10 days early i don't think i can make it to the birth and i'd be missing one bridesmaid.
my first nephew is now 7! wow 7! he turns 7 on 7/7/07. i told my brother to buy the lotto because today could be his lucky day.
anyway, the next couple weeks are going to fly by. we still have a couple things left to do with the loan that we should fax in next week and then we have to fill out the papers that the escrow officer sent us this week and hopefully we can close sometime late july / early august. we're hoping the latter so it's easier on the pocketbook with all the finishing payments with the wedding.
there's so much stuff going on and it's all so exciting. scary. but exciting and new. and we've only just begun ...

day by day
so it's been a hard couple of weeks lately ...
my dad was in the hospital last week ...
chest pain and then he was admitted to the hospital for 3 days
he had another angioplasty with 3 additional stents placed ...
the last time this happened was in November 2005
my sister made a joke that that was 2 months before her wedding and now this happened three months before mine ... at least i'm the last one to get married.
so we celebrated father's day on sunday and pa was able to go out to dinner with us and everything
sunday was a long day ... went to Mass and then went to Joey's family's lunch for father's day, came home and got ready to go to my dad's father's day dinner at cheesecake and then went straight to work ... talk about being tired ...
anyway, lots of stuff to say in so little time ... thanks for the prayers everyone for my dad and now he's actually back at work today.
dana and i were talking last night and i carried on the same conversation with joey. i told them (during our seperate conversations) that i knew that even before joey and i officially started dating that if we started dating, i knew i was done. i knew that if we decided that we were going to go out, i would be with him for the rest of my life. we both knew - we had dated before and we knew what we were looking for and if we made that decision to be together, that was it. and looking back, we both knew. and we're happy with the love we found. so yes, you can know right away. scary huh? but exciting.

didn't we almost have it all
what a title
this is the first time that i've watched grey's anatomy live in a long time
and every time i do, it makes me cry
and this one made me cry on all levels
geez ....
burke's vows made me cry
bailey not getting chief resident made me cry
izzie - george - callie thing made me cry
meredith - derek made me cry
everything made me cry
i'm a big cry baby
but that lexie grey is probably meredith's half-sister. that's my thinking.
but what about all the other characters?
did burke really leave?
where is george going to go?
what is bailey going to do not being chief resident?
so many questions ...
but i guess we'll see addison on private practice ....
and find out the rest next season
wow ... already season 4 next season ...

dead phone
i guess i should have let you guys know this before but my phone is / has been dead for a week.
i had to re-activate my other phone because my current phone cannot charge and my upgrade doesn't happen until october and my old chargeri can't find so i had to order but it still hasn't come in after a week. so if ur texting me, i'm not getting it. i do check my voicemail though but if i don't know ur number by heart, and u don't leave it, i won't be calling u back until i get my old charger back. if anything, call joey and hopefully he'll relay the message. all right. have a good one.

what a girl needs
so i couldn't sleep yesterday because those stupid policies kept bugging me
so i went to sleep at 11 and woke up at 1 and kept researching but i think i was still right
anyway, i've been sick lately and i was really sick on monday night that i had my own tissue box with me the whole night and finished it throughout my shift - it was the kind with lotion so my nose isn't too red
anyway, i was supposed to work extra tuesday night because we were short and we need the money but after monday's terrible experience i took myself off
when i talked to joey, he was very supportive and we went on a date - on a tuesday.
we went to outback for dinner - had some nice comfort food of cheddar fries, pasta and meat - and talked about his beloved Robert Horry getting suspended. then we walked over to the mall and did some shopping. we're looking for a new suit for him for michelle's wedding. and then we went to the movies. we watched fracture with anthony hopkins and ryan gosling - ryan gosling is sooooo hot. plus he has that southern twang. and he's a really good guy in the movie. anthony hopkins is very intelligent and the movie is very good. recommended. i had been venting and crying all day long and we were in the car and i said "thanks honey"
Joey: "for what"
me: for today
for listening to me tell the same story ten times
for letting me cry
for being you ...
joey: you needed it
me: i know i did and i appreciate you knowing that ... and then i started crying again ...
joey looks at me and i say
me: "don't worry, these are happy tears"
he smiles...
what more could a girl ask for?
