> thought I’d type a little update for those of you who care. I am doing much better, had some great interviews and am waiting on some offers. I have 2 other promising interview tomorrow and Friday so my luck seems to have changed, maybe it was my moms juju is working!  On another note, I can’t seem to say the same thing about my diet…. I am working out, that’s not a problem, but shit! I can’t seem to stay on a clean diet so it’s almost like working out is pointless. BUT I can’t complain.

Oh, and I can’t wait for our little  girls  “party” on Friday!

Thanks for all the love!!! You guys rock seriously, it’s good to know I have so many people to turn to when I am feeling on the shitty side. My mom is convinced that someone gave me the evil eye and that’s the reason I seem to be having bad vibes/luck whatever. So yesterday she came by and did some mexican juju with candles, and herbs and shit, it was pretty interesting for sure, she freaked my husband out and I thought it was hilarious!!! I told him that if he keeps on getting on my bad side, I will have my mom shrink his “other” head. HA!

Anywho, I am in better spirits and have kept on with my diet and exercise, at least for the past 2 days! I am hoping to land a job soon as well. I just can’t sit here and feel sorry for myself, if I want something I need to go get it. That is all for today, have a happy Tuesday!

Oh my gawd, where do I start? I really want to keep up with this blog thingy but just can’t for some reason. Thanks to the folks that have been checking up on me every now and then…My life is in total chaos right now, I’ve been sitting at home on total downer mode for a while and to top it off, I’ve had the shittiest luck EVER. So many bad things have happened to me I can’t even remember them all! m-kay now that I’ve thrown a VIP pitty party for 1, I can move on with this post.

WHY DO YOU HATE YOURSELF?
That was the question I was asked by my aunt (bestest friend in the world) when we were chatting on IM earlier today. I was bitching about all the things that have happened to me, about not landing a job, about a coke exploding in my purse and destroying my I-pod and cell phone, about the last storm destroying my fence, about my son being super sick last week when I don’t have any insurance, about being down to one car, about a 400 dollar ticket I got last month for some stupid shit that I wouldn’t have been stopped on in the city (where cops actually fight crime and not worry about stupid shit like no signaling when switching lanes), about sitting around at home and eating everything in sight and drinking alcohol and just drowning in my bad luck. I was expecting an “I’m sorry” or “things will get better soon” from her, instead I got a big fat bold “WHY DO YOU HATE YOURSELF”. I didn’t know how to answer that. I asked her to explain why she thought I hated myself, and she said that it was because of the way I have been sabotaging  things, she started talking about my weight as an example. I am always bitching about how I’m fat, and how I’m fat because I can’t stop eating, and how I can’t stop eating because (my current excuse) because I don’t have a job and sit around and eat, and then I get depressed about not having a job so I eat so more, and then I get depressed because I am fat but the reason I am fat is because I can’t stop eating because I don’t have a job, so I go in circles over and over again but don’t do anything about breaking the cycle. It hurt to hear that, because it’s all true, I am fat because I want to be, because I don’t believe or have enough confidence in myself to actually stick to a plan, because every time I try to do something to better my situation I go into it thinking that I am going to fail, because I don’t love myself enough to get better. OUCH.

The question is, where do you start? How do you start to love yourself? I still don’t know. How do you love yourself?

Yes folks, an actual post from SBWB, I know I know, totally crazy but true. There’s so much to update you on it’s insane. BUT since I never have anything to blog about, I will update you “day by day” to space them out. Today as you all know it the day of the Valentine. (I sound like Yoda) I woke up this morning to a beautiful pink rose bouquet with sparklies and hearts and a cute musical card, the card plays a romantic song by a gentleman by the name of Sam Cooke, now call me a moron, but I have no idea who this man is or was, but Big Daddy loves old music so he figured this would be a sweet card to give me, and it was!!!! I was totally surprised….mostly because I had forgotten that TODAY was V-Day!!!!! I thought it was tomorrow, I swear! Maybe it’s because we made our plans to celebrate on Friday instead of today, or maybe I am just 2-3 marbles from loosing it, take your pick. SO I felt like an ASS because I didn’t have anything for him and played the whole “I have a big surprise for you!” thing, so as soon as he left for work, I ventured out to Wally World, I got him a smoker, he loves to BBQ and he has been nagging about getting a smoker, so I got him one- then I thought, “that’s not very romantic Penelope” so I stopped by one of the many naughty stores that I know of (because I am a pervert) and bough him a giant pair of chocolate boobies in a chest, the box says Treasure Chest, ha! get it? treasure chest? bobbies in a box? Get it? LMFAO, yes it took me a while to get it, I must admit, but they sure do look good enough to eat! HA! I made another funny! I so need to be a comedian! Nothing says I LOVE YOU like a nice pair of chocolate boobs! So that will be my big surprise. Tomorrow we have reservations to go to our fav Texas De Brasil to eat cow, and chicken, and lamb, and any other animal that they bring out on those giant sticks. Then we will be staying at one of the lofts of that new Hotel NYLO so I am pretty stoked. What did you get for your significant other? Kid? Dog? Blow-up Companion?

Yes, my dear beau mondes (likey my french? I is intelligent sometimes!) 2 POSTS IN ONE DAY! Anyway, to my point- Being the youtube whore that I am, I thought I’d delight you with a bit of my national broadcasting taste with a classic, Stuart from MadTV goes to the therapist. When I was going to the looney doctor more than a few years back, I often thought about wearing my speedos too…Never happened though, sadly I never did find any shoes to match- and gawd forbid I’d wear clothes that didn’t match my shoes! AS IF! I might have been crazy (some people might argue that I still am) but I was always fashionable.

Hello there strangers. Yes I know, I don’t deserve you all coming to my blog to check and see if I’ve updated, I don’t deserve your love! It’s been OVER a month since I’ve posted and what can I say, I have been way too busy (a lie) to post. In any case, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and a very drunken New Years Eve. I did, the drunken part that is, some of my family from MEXICO came to town…I needed the alcohol to get through it, but I did it and I am damn proud of myself. On another note, I was told by my previous employer that I wasn’t needed anymore, I kinda figured I would be a goner soon since the past weeks they were struggling to find things for me to do. One day all I did was dust some cabinets, nice uh? But I guess everything happens for a reason because that same day I got a call from a multimedia company that wanted to schedule an interview, it went well and I get to call them back tomorrow for a yay or nay so wish me luck folks. Oh and the tittle for this post? Well I am a very simple goofy broad and I just wanted to share a bit of my oddness with you. For some reason I’ve had this old commercial in my head all day and every time I get to the “maybe little pinch?” part (in my head mind you) I burst out laughing like a mad cow and -for some odd reason- this caused some people to stare at me, sometimes with a terrifying look on their faces, and the ones with children would hold them tighter than usual… Apparently randomly laughing out loud by yourself in the bread isle at the grocery store scares people, who knew. Anyway, here is that funny little commercial>

My B-day present

Originally uploaded by purplepenny26

I’ve been wanting to show off my B-day present from the hubs. Here it is! My new baby!!!!!

OMG I feel so special! Thanks to everyone that stopped by to wish me a happy b-day! the big 2-8. Almost 30! yikes! What would I do without these silly girls? Thanks for posting about little ole me! Well for those of you who didn’t know, my B-day was on friday. And it sucked. My mom decided she wants a divorce. Since she’s never been able to do anything by herself, I had to take her around town so that she could talk to a lawyer, weep about the situation, you know, all that sad stuff ON MY B-DAY. Not many people in my family remembered my birthday, I don’t really care, I’m a big girl, but it sucks when not even your little brother remembers. All the people in my family (except my dad) that called me that day just called to get some dirt on what’s going on with my mom and her soon to be ex. Oh, and to top it off, my husband was out of town on business until tonight- so it double sucked! blah. But you know what all these little comments and posts about my b-day cheered me up so thanks so much! This chica even ventured out from her usual soccer mom duties to invite me out for some drinks on Sat. but I couldn’t go because I didn’t have a babysitter, waahhhh!!!!! Maybe next time Tasher.

I think Nablopomo has finally voted me off! I haven’t posted since before Thanksgiving. That’s what my fam does to me, they make me shut down. Last week was craziness, if it wasn’t for the hubs taking me to Shreveport, LA (not my ideal getaway spot, I don’t gamble, but hey it’s better than home) for a few days I would have seriously lost it people. I don’t want to bore you with the details of my dysfunctional family. Let’s just say I made it through. Just one more holiday this year and I will be home free! hahahaha!

It’s that time again. You know when you’re forced to spend time with your family? You guys probably refer to these horrible times as the “holidays” yuck. Don’t get me wrong I love my family but they make me tired, stressed, upset, etc. My family is so full of drama all the time- I should really write a book about it, I would be rich- It would totally be a best seller people. That is all I have to say today. Later.
