Time
It seems all I have time for is these "week in review" posts. So here we go...
Monday- I was sick.... went to work anyways and seemed to be nothing more then a walking moco. My eyes and nose would not stop watering. Why in the hell did I go to work you might ask, well we had deadlines and new paperwork to submitt. I needed to oversee all of it to make sure it was completed properly.
Tuesday- I stayed home in bed and watched CNTM, Australia's NTM and Cashmir Mafia on my laptop with cups of tea, a little heater, a roll of the softest toilet paper and a plastic target bag for my moco trash. Not my sexiest moment. Hair pulled back into a nub on the top of my head and of course with my sweats and sweatshirt on. However did work stop? Nooooo. I had my work e-mail up so I would get notices with incoming mail....I would answer and then un-pause my showns.
Wednesday- I had a early morning meeting at another site and had to sit next to my CEO. Intersting. I'm still digesting that.
Thursday- A good day, a day full of work.
Friday- Holy gucamole... We had another consultant in and did a presentation for some of our clients. We even had other departments in to watch the consultant in action. She was overboard. She was total "Business Cheerleader Barbie". It was all crash-and-burn. Yet she was oblivious to why this particular batch of clients were un-responsive. My colleague said it was beacuse she was this over-the-top-blue-eyed-blond-girl. He got in trouble for that statement. I stated it had nothing to do with her look. It was about her presentation. It does not matter if she is blond or not. They would of been just as annoyed if she any other color. The reason they did not respond to her was becasue she was a "cheerleader" type and they saw her more as a cartoon character rather than a professional. I have to give it up to my clients... they looked past color, it's about presentation. However people seem to think that Latinos will only resopnd to other Latinos. It's business...we respond to whom ever respects us and gives us good deal. We are not that shallow.
So afterwork we all went to happy hour and then ended up at a "house party". Can we say "High School"? To be perfectly honest we had so much fun. The ironic thing of it all of all the couples there, at least one spouse was from my old H.S. We had all ended up in the same field, found each other and have created a small group. A bucnch of Chicanitos who went off to college to make a diffrence. I love it. We all went to school with each other, ran in similar circles, but never really were friends. Our gradutaion years from our high school span from 1992- 1999. Now we share stories of our travles, clients and business.

The view from our back door this morning.
The sushi restaurant was next door to White Park, the park that we were married at 5 years ago.
The gazebo we were married under
White Park was established in 1883 and is Riverside's oldest park. It is named after Albert Sidney White. I originally had a large cactus garden that included hundreds of cactus and succulents.
My husband and I meet at a community college a few streets down. We would drive past the park when it was being renovated (for Years) and would be upset that a lovely park was chain linked off from the public. It was finally opened and we deiced to marry there.
Work has been crazy this week. I felt that I hardly saw my husband. Even though we had a home cooked meal every night together we were tiered and trying not to get sick. So having this date was very nice. Walking through our park was so romantic.Huitzilopochtli
Hummingbirds are found only in the Americas.
They are found as far north as southeastern Alaska and as far south as southern Chile.
South America has the biggest variety of hummingbirds and more than half the species are found there. The country of Ecuador in northwestern South America has the largest number of any one country with 163 different species. There are over fifty species that regularly breed in Mexico.

I took these pictures today while outside doing some yard work. Here is my new little friend. He follows me around the garden and and chirps while I sit on the porch. He been in our front yard for a month now and dances in the air for us. (maybe she)
I got to work. Laid out the itinerary for the morning for all. Locked myself in HR and interviewed all morning long. Ran downtown with paper work and worked through my lunch. I then ate during work in between sessions and even had clients before I left for home. Came home and made arroz and chicken soft tacos for dinner. Talked to a dear friend about her "Biology Babe" and took time on the net. Catching up on Project Runway and adding my page to our Family website that my little brother set up for us. One more day. Tomorrow we are going to M's birthday party and celebrating another year of life. How beautiful.
