Who would have thought that these two things would have something in common. You know what it is don’t you? They just keep on coming…and coming…and coming…(okay fine the energizer bunny keeps on going…but you get the picture).

So last month we had to pay for major car repairs and vaccination.  Next month would be vaccination. April would be enrollment for Andrea’s play school. May would be our mortgage insurance payment. June would be more enrollment for Andrea. July would be my car registration and my car insurance (which reminds me that I need to look at site where I could purchase auto insurance online). August would be birthday gifts and September would be when we’d pay for our fire insurance….

I could go on but I think you catch my drift. I can’t believe I was so excited to become an adult. Being an adult is basically all about paying all these freaking bills.

I’ve been tagged by so many people but I’m such a terrible taggee that I lost track of all the tags I received. Anyway here are the things I want for my birthday:

1. Win the 300++ lotto jackpot price
2. My dream house
3. Enough money for baby #2 (and possibly 3 or 4)
4. Huge LCD TVs
5. Complete pearl jewelry set
6. Trip to Greece with Ruy
7. Tokyo Disney with Andrea and Ruy
8. 1 ct. diamond solitaire earrings.

That’s it!! Hahaha damn…I don’t think I’ll get any of these this year. The pearl set maybe…but the rest? NO WAY

OH MY GOD. The things I ate this weekend. I’m embarrassed to even talk about all of it. I’ve been doing so well with my diet and now I fell off the wagon…and boy talk about falling. Let me put it this way. I didn’t fall from the wagon to the floor…the freaking wagon was going through a cliff and I fell off the wagon down the stinking ravine.

I should be ashamed of myself. I will repent and change my ways, right after I eat some of the chocolate in the ref.

Have you guys been to the market lately? Have you seen the astronomical cost of every single commodity there is? I now understand why people want to be vegetarians. Pork and chicken are just too expensive…and don’t get me started on beef.  I swear looking at those prices makes me want to get some cattle supplies and raise my own cows. I bet Andea would love sleeping beside cows. =)

I used to define romance as grandiose acts or someone professing his or her love to another. In my mind it would involve dozens of flowers with petals scattered all over. There would be beautiful Votive candle holders creating a warm glow throughout the room. There would be oysters and champagne and strawberries and truffles.

Not anymore. The flowers would be a waste of money. Scattered petals are messy…who the hell would clean that up? Votive candle holders are still okay, but let’s limit it to one or too. I don’t want the house to burn. Oysters, Champagne and Strawberries, and Truffles….okay but one at a time.

Romance has been completely redefined. Romance is a guy who asks you out on a date cause he feels like the time you have together is not enough. Then he researches on possible dinner places to ‘impress’ you. Then he lets you choose anyway and doesn’t whine when you choose a resto not included on his research. Then it’s shopping for things for your daughter together. That my friend is romance.
