Random Thoughts

I have a lot of random thoughts running thru my head today. Like when do you use thru and when do you use through? Is thru even correct?

I want to go on vacation. Somewhere purdy. Somewhere with a beach. Alfonso has never been to the beach. Isn’t that sad? I can’t believe that he has never been blessed with that beauty. It really is a blessing.

We take so many things for granted. I take the fact that I speak two languages for granted. I also take the fact that I was blessed with being born in the US and also am lucky to know another culture. That’s great.

You know what I don’t like about Vegas? I don’t like that it lacks culture. They’re slowly bringing stuff to Las Vegas but not fast enough. I mean we have the 5o the Mayo and 16 de Septiembre parties at the park but that’s not what I’m looking for. I want Diego Rivera art exhibits or somewhere to go buy books not limited to half a shelf at Barnes & Noble. I want t-shirts that say “Brown and Proud”. Well not really because I’m so dang white people would so not believe I was brown. I am proud. I don’t want to see t-shirts that say “chinga tu madre” or whatever else the shirts say at the swap meet, or as my husband calls it, “el swami”. Not because he’s trying to be funny but because that’s how he pronounces it. I think I’m going to build a Plazita Olvera. Only it’ll be called “Plazita Charleston” because that’s where it would be.

I see so many people start their own businesses and I think to myself “Why can’t I?”. How do these people know what to do and I don’t? I have GREAT ideas if I may so myself. I need to work on that. I have a lot of excuses that I need to put to bed first.

Did you know that right now I should be working diligently but instead I’m typing this?

Did you know that sometimes at night I get so sad that I cry myself to sleep? My husband plays with my hair and whispers beautiful things in my ear until I go to sleep. Sometimes I can hear that he’s crying too. We miss him/her. I have a feeling he/she was going to be a he. He’s watching over us now. We’re going to post the journal we started for him. When I get a chance I’ll do it.

Happy thoughts. I’m blessed with a wonderful mother and father and hope to bless our children with the same one day.

Back to work for me.
