All Around Me, I See Green

Hi EVERYONE!

Hope you're having a lovely spring. I sure am...well, if I remember to pop a few Zyrtec, that is. I'm glad I posted a blog in March when I did, because since then I've been way too busy to do very much of anything non-work related. As I mentioned in the previous post, I started working at Pappasito's Mexican Cantina in Sugar Land, Tx. It's not a bad little job to have. It's just a little harder than I thought it would be. Sometimes dealing with rude people can just have ways of destroying your self-esteem. Not to mention, getting things mixed up and entering orders into the system wrong really makes me feel like a dumbass. But I've begun to make a valid effort in letting things roll off my shoulders and letting assholes be assholes.
There are studies that suggest having a positive outlook on your life can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Regardless of how true that is, stress can weaken your immune system and make your body all achey. That I'm positive is the honest truth. On top of working at the restaurant 4 days a week (sometimes more if I'm not doing anything), I'm assisting photographers in the Houston area. I've assisted Terry Halsey twice within the last couple of weeks and am expected to later this week, as well. And toward the end of this last month, I assisted William & Patricia Long as they photographed Jenny & Ray Baugh's Wedding. Jenny was my boss at the Motherhood Center and now a dear friend of mine. My job was to take pictures of the guests in whatever way they felt most comfortable...and those pictures were then put to a slideshow and music for the couple to watch on Will & Patricia's website's blog.

Congrats again, Ray & Jenny, I'm happy for you guys!

Alright, moving on, my older sister, Chrystal, is having her baby boy this month! I'm officially going to be Aunt Jessi, or Jess, or Gee (as Emma calls me...lol), or whatever he mumbles is fine with me. He'll be here on the 18th and we have a pool running on his arrival. Two pools actually, one on his arrival date and one on how much he weighs. My prediction is that he will be born the day before and will weigh 8lbs & 4oz. One thing is for sure, he's arriving just in time for the beginning of BASEBALL SEASON! (Opening day for the Houston Astros is tomorrow...btw.)
I LOVE going to Astros games! I don't even care if I'm in the nose-bleed section, I still always seem to enjoy myself. Even if they're losing horribly (which is the case quite often...lol). I get all into it, screaming and rooting (I love that word) for my favorite players (I'm still super sad about Biggio retiring)...Plus, now that I live in Houston, maybe I'll be able to catch more games than in the past seasons!
Ooh, did I mention that Pappasito's has a slow-pitch softball team?? Lol..well, I am playing for them. And the odd part is that we're actually pretty freakin' good! I've played for a few slowpitch teams before and we would hands down kick those other teams' asses! Whatever, whatever, it's a lot of fun!

So when I assisted Ray & Jenny Baugh's Wedding in Seguin, Tx I crashed with my cousin Lindsey & her daughter, Emma! I also got to hang out with another cousin of mine, Amber! It's been ages since I have had a chance to hang out with Amber and well, it's always a pleasure to see Lindsey & Emma.

(On our way to eat at Amber's restaurant: Trudy's in Austin,Tx)
(There, Emma proved that even the pickiest of eaters LOVE Bacon!)
(Earlier that morning we played around with PhotoBooth)
(So caught up in the OMG moment!!)
(We went to the Livestock Show & Rodeo/Carnival and they had a petting zoo...which I boycotted, by the way)
(Emma & I on the Ferris Wheel...my mouth is weird, I know..haha.)

I'm vowing to take another trip to see them this summer! Love you guys!
