2. Eat a yummy breakfast

Many of you have known me for a minute or two and know that I had braces on forever! I was like 14 when it all started and by the end I was 18. Four years of my stinkin' life devoted to metal. I was a total geek of the week. Hence the ugly photo.....
So, many years later........
THEIR BAAAACK!!!
Kids, this is what happens when you don't listen to your parents. My mom haunted me with "Did you wear your retainer?" Did I listen? NO. Now look, as a grown ol' lady, here I am with braces, again. Notice the ugly yellow tooth? Thats the whole reason I have to wear braces. It went down like this:
Dr."So is there anything would like to change about your smile?"
Me: "Yup"
Dr: "What?"
Me: " You haven't noticed?"
Dr: "no"
Me: " The henious, ugly, yellow tooth"
Dr: "Oh that"
Me: "Duh!?!" (ok so I really didn't say this but I was thinking it)
Dr: "we can fix that but to really fix your smile you'll need braces, AGAIN"
Me: "What? How did you know I already had braces?"
Dr: " Cuz I'm the Dr."
Me: "OH" "So braces then ugly tooth gone?"
Dr: "Yup"
There you have it people. I have braces for a year and then he will fix my ugly tooth. Straight vanity on my part. I know.
Ok so I know I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to keep a blog, but so many times I want to share something with my family and I think to myself....."dang it, self, no more blog"......
So I have decided to try yet again! Although this time I hope to be more deligent.
Our new address is http://web.me.com/loscastillos. I will no longer be posting here. I know... I know I haven't posted much here either but I'm gonna try.
ok so Gabe is a different sort of cat. He does things on his own terms and Rob and I have come to grips with this and love him for that. Its actually kinda cute. He beats to his own drum, he is kinda an old man stuck in his old man ways. Well this morning we had to take Sissy to school and so he asked me to put him in his robe. So I did. I snapped this photo of him cuz how many 2 year olds do you see walking around in slippers, and a robe drinking coffee? I hope not many.
Have you ever felt this way? I do more than I would like to admit. How come when someone asks us "How are you?" we feel the need to explain, in detail, how horrible our day is going or tell the graphic story of potty training the two year old. For me this habit is almost like a nervous twitch. I tend to talk way to much when I am nervous. Not only do I talk to much but I also take very fast, and kinda yell a little. I am sure the person on the receiving end of this conversation must think I'm nuts. And according to my husband I am.
Today in a conversation with my husbands coworker, I gave way too much information. And after I had this conversation I wish that I could have taken the words back. Then to top it all off, I told my loving husband what I had done, and instead of getting mad at me and being a jerk about it, he kindly asked me not to do that again. He was so kind about it, it made me feel even worse. Of course I apologized and he accepted my apology and said he loved me anyway.
How did I get this lucky?
Much Love,
monica
