Mothers
Today was a sad day for my boss. Her mom passed away.
I was thinking...what an awful time of year to have such an important person go. Granted she was a little older, but i have friends, my age, who have had their mothers pass away due to cancer as well. I cannot imagine what my life would be like without my mom. This person, this woman, is more than likely responsible for molding us into who we are. If we are lucky, they are there for birthdays, sporting or other activities, to make you do your homework, and to share at least one daily meal with you, as you grow up. When we get older, we tend to go to them for advise, about guys, about receipes, how to plan parties, how to decorate, when we get sick they are there no matter what your age. If you have kids they are there to help you...These are just a small sample of the things that mothers do...
Anyways, point being that i cannot imagine what my life would be like without my mom, and today especially, i am thinking of all my friends that have had the unfortunate luck of losing such an important relative. My thoughts are with all of you, in all parts of the world, you know who you are.

Pics of the Oven Disaster...
This is the bottom of the toaster...
Needless to say...this toaster hit the dumpster shortly after its 5 minutes of fame. Santa could bring me a toaster if he was so inclined....

Event of the Day
I am casually shopping at barnes at nobles today. you know checking out some books, getting the last of my christmas presents, and inching my way over to the cash registers...i am looking at the christmas cards that are on sale...i am looking at this one cute card with a polar bear on it and so goes the conversation:
Guy: "This one is cute too" - showing card with puppy and snow
Me: "Yes that is cute"
Guy: "Are you Brazilian"
Me: "What?"
Guy: "Are you Brazilian?"
Me: "No, no-no, I am from Argentina"
Guy: "Oh, do you work out a lot"
Me: "yes"
Guy: "Well i think you are one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen"
Me: "Thanks"
Guy: "Wow, you just made my day by smiling, can i buy you a cup of coffee?, Im Troy by the way, whats your name?"
Me: "oh no thanks, i just had some"
Troy: "whats your name?"
Me: "Agustina"
Troy: "Wow, thats beautiful, well can i give you my number, so that we can do coffee some other time?"
Me: "oh, sorry, no...i am seeing someone, thanks though" ---- (total lie)
Troy: "oh ok...well it was great to meet you"
Me: "yeah, you too"
It was very odd...but definitely made me wonder who on earth thinks that totally porky me (these days i am feeling very porky) with a super cold, that has my nose guiding Santa Clause, could possibly think that i am remotely close to being the most beautiful woman ever seen....i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But despite it all, it caught my attention and i am here writing about it now. what strikes me as extremely funny, is the commentary from the old woman who observed teh whole scene:
Old lady: "wow, men just are pickin up women just anywhere these days"
Me: "yes that was very strange"
Old lady: "well you handled it very well"
Me: "thanks"
Old lady: "Dotn worry honey, i may be old but if he tried anything funny, i was going to hit him with my cane!"
Me: "Hahaha, Thanks!"
Anyways, all too weird.
Side Note: I think my sister's bf is starting to grow on me.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....or Not, or yes, or no, or yes, or no....
Yes it is that time of year yet again, again, and again. You might think i am speaking of the little Holiday known as Christmas, but no, what i am referring to is "engagement time" again. It has come in bundles this year. Sporadic ones at the beginning. Then there was the August bunch (about 10 friends) all got engaged in a time span of about 2-3 weeks...then there is my best friend who got the question popped about 3 weeks ago (and i am now officially the maid of honor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then this week there was about 3 other people i know and am friends with who have accepted to take the plunge. its kind of funny how it happens that way. it just always happens to other people. two of my good friends have found great guys to be with and i am so happy for them (and i had a part in one of those)....but when is it my turn? I love being and living the life i do and i am not in any rush for anything, but i wonder if its even in the cards for me. we shall see. EVERYTHING happens for a reason.
On that note, i wonder what the reason is for this stupid thing i accidentally did, that "happened" to me just a short 30 minutes ago. While i was away on vacation i left my mother in charge of watering my plants and getting the mail and all that fun house stuff. well, she likes to organize and arrange everything. in her effort to "tidy up" she decided to place my george forman grill and my toaster inside the oven as opposed to on the counter. great idea i thought, now i dont have to look at it, and all i have to do is remember to take them out when i turn the oven on....that had been working fine until circa 1030 today when i turned the oven on to put in a quiche. yes i forgot to take the toaster and grill out and when i decided to go put the quiche in the oven because by that moment it was hot enough, i encountered a strange "plasticky" smell as well as some smoke coming from the oven. I now have a very misshappen toaster and a george foreman grill that may or may not work. we'll see. NOT to forget to mention the nice burn on my arm from the things that go inside the oven (the metal things that you place your pans on when cooking stuff). i am a genius. so again, i have to think, everything happens for a reason, but why this? if it develops, ill let you know.
Other things that have been on my mind are the following:
1) i need a puppy - so because i just dotn have the heart to have on in my condo with no place to run, i would have to have it at my mom's all the time. so, i am going to go to this pet adoption extravaganza today and see if i fall in love and one falls in love with me.
2) if you are a kid that has doubts about whether to believe in Santa or not -----it is very easy to google and find out. Thats so sad. i want to believe. i wish i stil believed.
3) girl talk --- i was at work yesterday and my coworker asked --- do runners always talk about each other???? i was like ---- are you a girl? do you not know the code? i mean there is always drama, and its in girls nature to talk about everyone. I just said --- if you are with people that are talking about other people that you run with or are friends with, then you know what, just humor them, but dont say or agree with anything. its what i try to do. that way, you arent bad mouthing. you know? why is it that we do this? my coworker said --- is it because they are competitive? and that completely made me think ---yes. it defintely is. be fast, get faster, get skinnier, get a boyfriend, get married, have kids first....girls think like that and maybe its a jealousy thing...or a competitive thing, but i guess maybe thats a reason why girls sometimes talk about other girls. THAT and sometimes, some chicks dont make the best decisions about attire. i am guilty of making fun for that. i admit it. every girl does.
4) the best ideas, come in the shower --- yes they do, i have had some wonderful ideas on how to test depreciation (i am a dork) but that really happened and i am going to put my ideas to work in the next few months, and how to manage my staff, and how to get organized, and just a slew of other things...but i think the shower is a great place to get great ideas. i know totally dorky, but just think --- in the shower, you are relaxxed, in your element, alone with your thoughts and getting ready for the day --- a perfect oasis.
Great stuff that has happened:
-my friend's husband is in remission!!!!
-it snowed last week~!
Bad stuff that has happened:
-my manager's mom has a few days left --- she has cancer, and my prayers are with her.
-i have a cold, ill take it compared to the above -- i think it is a result of the ever changing weather pattern that we are encountering in this part of the world lately.
-a 29 year old runner passed away during the dallas white rock marathon --- so hard during this time of year.
well i know that it has been a while but i will post more regularly now since i am getting back into the swing of things and getting back in shape. so for all those that were awaiting a post from me, here it is. i hope you enjoyed dipping into my thoughts for a bit.
my work outs and lots on my trip are soon to come. so stay tuned :)
My burn hurts!
