What Language Should You Learn?

So I took another quiz (for giggles), and the answer they came up with made me laugh so hard! This is histerical. Anyone who knows me will intstantly see why I am in a laughing fit over this!!

You Should Learn Spanish

For you, learning a language is about career advancement and communication. Knowing Spanish will bring you tons of possiblities for jobs and travel. Bárbaro!

Random Quiz

Okay so I did this random quiz, I think its pretty accurate.

You Are 27 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

On Notice

The following people are on notice. My brothers Andy and Emily top this list because they got me sick! Thanks a lot. The next time I see either of y'all, there had better be flowers and a card......chocolate would really help get you off my list. The math department of UMSL is on my list, well mainly the chair. My little brother is on my list (actually I don't think he ever gets off my list) for irritating my parents. Now for the inanimate objects; my back, which has been hurting for almost a month now and I am really sick of it. Why can't there just be a button you push and wham! Everything is all better!
*Update: I have been informed that my back doesn't qualify as an inanimate object as it is part of me. It's still on notice. I will see the doctor again on Wed, let's hope we can figure out what the heck I did! Cuase, yea, I still don't know what I did to my back nor what is exactly wrong with it! Ooooh, it's a mystery!!

Baseball

Baseball season comes a bit early this year in the form of the World Baseball Classic! From March 3-26, 16 International teams will compete to become World Champions. A number of Cardinals will be present and accounted for in these games. Albert Pujols is representing his home country, Dominican Rupublic. Yadier Molina joins older brother Benjie in playing for Puerto Rico. John Rodriguez will aslo play for Puerto Rico. Juan Encarnacion, a new bird on the bat, will be playing along side Pujols for the Dominican Republic. New hurler Sidney Ponson will be representing the Netherlands, along with Mark Mulder- who, according to reports, is supposed to pitch for Team USA. Ricardo Rincon will be representing Mexico. New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter are set to represent team USA. Who am I rooting for? Usually, the answer would be a no brainer, but as I have Puerto Rican heritage, its a bit different. I will be pulling for all of the birds on the bat to do well. I will cheer on USA and Puerto Rico, may the best team win!

Steelers

Congrats to the Pittsburg Steelers, AFL Champions!!! C'mon Steelers, win the superbowl!!

Brown shoes

After months of searching, I have finally found a cute pair of brown shoes!! I am soo excited, now I can finally wear my NYC brown pants with something other than my boots. I also got lace replacements for my boots as the one lace is shot. I also got two long sleeve shirts from New York and Co (Red and Yellow), they are very soft. Then I stopped at Clinque (my fave makeup brand) and replaced my eyeliner, and two lipliners. All three were dead- good investment as they last me three to four years. So a bit expensive, but totally worth it. Now I am going to go rest up, I am exhausted after this weekend. Regionals was awesome, I love seeing all of my brothers and catching up with them and hanging out with them. I'm going to miss some of them! I hopefully will see some of them at Sectionals at SIUE (E Pi)!!

Regionals!!

This weekend was an absolute balst!! Alpha Phi Omega's Regional Conference was this Fri and Sat. I had soooo much fun. Friday I got there and got to see Jen F. and Rachel K.(a former Sigma Alpha brother who is now a member of SLU'S Delta Delta chapter- where the conference was held). My salsa class with Andy the flirt went great! Our morning session had more people, but our afternoon session learned a bit more. I had soo much fun. Thursday night after Froggiegirl's work open house (which was awesome), I went salsa dancing with the flirt to get ideas on how to do our workshop. I love to salsa and it was soo cool to teach others to do what I love. B/c Andy and I were presenters we got access to the Presenter's Lounge (oooh ahhh), so we snagged bottles of water from there, and I took a nap there after lunch. Got a great service/fundraiser project from the session "Sweet Charity". Had lunch w/our advisor and former section chair Roach, our current section chair Beth, Andy, Kenny, Edwin, Missy, Emily(who was a hoot Friday night- thanks for dancing w/ me chica), Tanya, another person, Marshall and his friend, and Rob. This was only the day. That night we had this awesome speaker, his story is soo amazing- he has a book coming out soon- must read! We had a live jazz band playing as we entered and ate. We had this yummy cheesecake for desert. Andy and I got certificates and thanks for doing a workshop, unfortunately they spelled Andy's last name wrong. Sorry flirt. Then we danced the night away with a cool DJ, so much better than the one we had at homecoming. I learned how to do a bit of swing dancing (ty Andy), did the electric slide, the macarena to a country song(lol), the cha-cha slide, YMCA, some salsa w/ Andy, danced to thriller, did the timewarp (soo fun!!) and danced to all the other songs. The flirt strutted his stuff for Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"- he was sooo good. The music was awesome. Here are a few of the songs they played.... Cotten Eyed Joe, My Humps, Gold Digger (still not fond of that one), Doncha, Amzaed, Since You've Been Gone (gotta go out and get her new CD-= heard another one of her songs I love), and Gasolina!( a latin song Amber requested- must get their cd! I love latin music- this song was flat out amazing!)
Oh yea, one of the brothers in attendance proposed! Of course she said yes! Everybody cheered and applauded! She looked soo happy, and his proposal was very romantic. That man is sooo brave to propose in front of a large group of people! I can imagine its tough when its just the two of you, but multiply that by 20 and still do it well! WOW!! Lucky girl got a ring with three diamonds. Nice ring, too much for me. I don't want a diamond engagement ring- I would rather have an emerald or a saphire with a little single or cluster of small diamonds around it. But to get that I would have to become engaged which would mean I would have to have a serious boyfriend. Meaning I would have to get a boyfriend in the first place. But hey, I am young and have a lot of time for that. I want to graduate before I become engaged. Froggiegirl is engaged to Gimlet and even she said being engaged and being a student would have been too much, and since I'm a bridesmaid and I've seen her do the planning- I have to say I agree!

Welcome to 2006

Okay I am going to put down some resolutions I will try to keep.

1) Get in better shape, so that when I have to have knee surgery again (why pretend that its not going to happen, better to suck it up), recovery will be smoother.
2) Get in better shape to keep me from having above mentioned surgery sooner.
3) Try to have more patience with my brother...thats gonna be hard.
4) Keep my desk in my home office and my room better organized and cleaner than in the past. (This one I will definately do b/c my desks were soo messy I was getting ticked)
5) Go on vacation before I start my real job after graduating. (Doesn't have to be out of the country- tho I would prefer it. Could be going to Tampa to visit the cousins, or to San Antonio(my second fav. city), go to another ballpark w/ Dad).
6) Try to go to the Cardinals Spring Training this year!

Okay now lets see how many of these I actually am able to do. 1, 4, and 5 are going to happen. I am going to work out more w/ Froggiegirl. I am a big organization freak so my desks will get cleaned. And I will go on a real vacation before I start my real job- I have to b/c I don't know when my next vacation will be after I start working full time in the real world.

Happy New Year?

New Years Eve was lousy. I was sick and my little brother had some friends over, and decided to be a jerk to me. I finally watched my movie- Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (ty Missy), He had the tv blaring so loud downstairs that I could hear it upstairs. So I was sick and miserable, and being treated like an outcast- unwanted by the masses. Close to midnight I got my countdown(even tho I had to bargain for it, like some common criminal), when it turned 2005 I was in Denver and we were in the streets and it was like "Happy New Year!!". No count down, so I was determined to have one this year (last year). Then I went outside and screamed along w/ my brother. I screamed it in Spanish too ( I speak Spanish, I am Hispanic, and I wanted to do it!). Brother decides to scream "Speak English!" What a jerk, its my right to speak/scream in Spanish. It was not the greatest time of my life to say the least. Next new years I am having a great party! I'm tired of this boring stuff.
Also of note, my mom did get my Spanish shirt I thought she had cost me. So when I went shopping w/ Froggiegirl and Angie- I wore it. Gimlet met me and Froggiegirl for dinner at my fave place, Chevys. Yummy food!
Happy New Year Y'all! Welcome to 2006, may it be better than the year before it!
