"the misadventures of a midget mexican momma living in japan, who was evacuated back to Texas after the March 11th earthquake, who has since returned to Japan"
Friday was a fun-filled day. I had to work in the morning so Jude had a play date. Then, I picked up Jude and his buddy and took them to McDonald's for lunch. They spent the afternoon pretending they were Jedi Knights, attacking evil doers.
Earrings: JCPenney (I know you can't see them, but I promise they are there! I really, really need a haircut!)
FYI: My jeans are not white. They are a very pale green. The lighting in my apartment sucks donkey balls! And my photo editing makes them look white, but they aren't. So, all you fashion Nazis out there who think I'm wearing white pants after Labor Day, well, you would be wrong! And besides, if I want to wear white pants after Labor Day, I will. I don't subscribe to any fashion rules. Obviously! I wear whatever the hell I want to whenever the hell I want to. That's how I roll!
And, yes, I'm wearing teal colored shoes. Yes, I know they don't match, but I like it that way. I like a little splash of color here and there.
Shirt: (bought in Japan at a resale shop for about 2 bucks!)
Leggings: Danskin
Earrings: Pearls (They are really small and you can't see them because my hair is in the way, but YaYa bought them for me when I was 15 years old.)
Necklace: Lia Sophia
Shoes: Wilson (bought in Japan)
I totally need a haircut! My hair is somewhere between Rod Stewart's and Justin Bieber's. It's really out of control! Edward Scissorhands, I need your help!
Today was almost 80 degrees, and probably the last day of the year that I'll be able to wear shorts, so I wore shorts-- really SHORT shorts! And, no! My ass wasn't hanging out mainly because I have no ass. I have a back with a crack. You would think that since I'm Hispanic, I would have a nice, juicy ass like JLo. You know, like the kind of ass that needs its own zip code or the kind of ass that you can rest things on. But you'd be wrong. Really, really, really wrong! With a capital W-R-O-N-G!
I am so assless that I have ass envy. When I see a nice, firm, round ass, I get the urge to slap it. So, it's probably a good thing I'm assless, because if I had said ass, I'd be too preoccupied with slapping it that I'd never get anything done.
So, if you are endowed with a great bottom, wear tights and show it off. Work what your momma gave you! I would if I could!
I can't believe you are 7 years old. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday we were changing your diapers and teaching you how to use silverware.
I know this past year was difficult for you with the earthquake and relentless aftershocks and evacuating back to the States and being homeless for a month and all that. It was difficult for your dad and me, too. And that's okay.
You don't know it yet, but those moments, when things were most stressful and crazy, those were the moments when you shined as bright as a star. It was during all the craziness when I realized just what a good, strong, kind, mature, charismatic kid you are. I mean, I've always known you are amazing, but during those stressful times, you came through to the other side tougher and stronger, like a champ-- so willing to go with the flow and take whatever it was that was coming your way. You made me proud--so very proud. In fact, you make me proud every day.
I know I tell you this all the time, but its true: of all the children in the world, I was lucky enough to get the best one...you!
Look, I'm not perfect and neither is your father, but we are two imperfect people who came together to create a perfect boy...you!
Jean Jacket: Uniqlo (bought in Japan (at a thrift shop for about 2 bucks)) Shoes: Crocs Earrings: Gift from Husband
In case you didn't notice, I didn't have a Denim Day yesterday, and that's because I spent the whole day in my pajamas. Yep, that's right. I was bumming it yesterday in jammies. I don't do that often, but when I do, I love it!
Today was a rainy, dreary day. We attended Jude's soccer picnic (which was moved indoors), and he received a metal for all his hard work. After that, we went to our favorite recycle shop, searching for goodies. Then, Husband and I took a long nap, while Jude watched Star Wars Episode VI on Blue Ray (he got the entire set on Blue Ray for his birthday). When I woke up from my nap, my hair was jacked up! Seriously, jacked up! So, when we went to sing karaoke this evening, I put on the hat.
I know sometimes I wear too many accessories, but that's just me. I'm too much most of the time. I'm too loud, too opinionated, too mouthy, too stubborn, too mean, too much! I guess I over compensate for my small size. And, besides, accessories add flair, and you can never have too much flair!
Today I had the day off. I spent most of the day getting things ready for Jude's birthday play date. Since Jude didn't want a birthday party this year, we thought we'd invite his friend over instead. So, I made a cake, bought gifts, met Jude for lunch, and hung out with him and his buddy after school. Jude and his friend played with his toys, went to the park, watched Star Wars, and we went out to eat for dinner. It was a fun filled day!
I'm pictured above with 2 of Jude's birthday presents. Yes, Star Wars has become my life, too!
Don't hate! Appreciate!
Here is what I look like without the Clone Trooper's helmet and gun, and without ANY photo editing:
I had to work yesterday, and it was a chilly out, so I thought I'd wear boots, and pretend to be a grown up. Oh, wait. I am a grown up! Shit!
**And a special thanks to my photography team (which consists of Husband and Jude). Husband takes the pictures, and Jude tells me when I look like a dumb ass. Thanks guys for all your help!
I'm a 4 foot 10 inch asthmatic Hispanic momma now living in Japan. ****But was evacuated after the March 11th earthquake and currently homeless in Texas!***The State Department allowed us to return to Japan on April 14th, so I'm back in Japan, where I belong!
People seem to find my mishaps entertaining, so thus the blog begins. And, I have been encouraged to start a blog so people can keep up with us in Japan. I have had this creative bug in my ear telling me to do this for a while, but I could never bring myself to do it. By starting a blog, I feel like I'm going to the beach in a thong for the first time without a bikini wax! It is kind of scary to lay it all out there for the world to see and to judge.
My world is filled with hilarious moments that I can't wait to share. I hope you enjoy what I have to say and can laugh with me on a regular basis. After all, we could all use a little laughter in this God forsaken world.
