Yes Finally I am a Baker !!!!!!!!

I have always wanted to make chocolate chips and finally I did it thanks to my friend Mel Lute!! I love you girl!!!!!!!And T does too!!!!!!!Yummy they are the best!!!!!!!I am having about three or four tonight. I have tried to make these for seven years yes seven year as long as I have been married. I have been so discouraged about it that I started to buy store bought dough! I have always wanted to teach my girls and I thought maybe I just won't be able too. I have to work at cooking and baking its really not instinct like others are blessed with like my hubby he can make pies really anything. But finally I baked something good, and I even made vegan ones for Ms Bella. I feel like Mrs. Betty Crocker Herself!!!!!!!!!My friend actually had to come to my house and show me the ropes in the kitchen! Because really I thought I was a lost cause and she just whipped them up so fast and gave me hope!!!!!!! I have been changed and saved from the thought that I can't bake! I need to know what sift means in baking term? A lot more to learn.....hopefully now I will be more adventures with my mad baking skills. My mommy did not bake growing up so I have never grown up with it..sound crazy but that's on the real! lol lol...

Coffee or No Coffee?

I love coffee I have drank coffee since I was Four on the real. We lived in El Salvador until I was five and its very common for kids to drink coffee due to bacteria being in water its better then straight up water. I know crazy fact, but I have been thinking about giving it up. I drink one cup a day and love it. I use way too much sugar in it and when I go to Starbucks I ask for house coffee with six sugars and cream I think that's probably not good for me. I should just get a mocha or something. But I love black coffee doctored up! I grew up in a Latin family so we would have pan dulce and coffee in the morning that's is very common. I also loved waking up and having refried beans,ripe fried plantain, and sour cream, and coffee and pan dulce. (Donut) so I have been doing that routine for twenty- eight years. I have tried to break it but its so ingrained. I love it. I have been able to go with out it one week and then I am back to the same routine pan dulce and coffee as my breakfast. But I want to be more healthy and I am trying to at least have a bowl of cereal in the morning. I am down to three or four sugars and less cream but I still love pan dulce and since I love my routine I have to have it together a little ocd just comes over me I guess! So I am on this kick again we will see how long I can keep this up.

Adult time!

So I was at a friends house for her birthday party and she had other moms there except one lady who was not a mom. So I am such an observer that night we all just chatted away it was to fun.The lady who did not have kids was a little uncomfortable because we all talked about our kids and our labor for like thirty minutes. So I tried to change the subject so we could included her but to no avail. You should have see these women it was like we hadn't got out an a while but we still talked about our kids a lot.Poor lady I hope she had fun that night. I got home and thought about my night and pondered did I talk too much? I spend so much time with my kids that at times when I don't have them I forget how to hang out with adults. I had such a good time being a grown up and being just Roxy that I made jokes had fun conversing about politics and life that I forgot how good it feels to have time with grown ups and to be there with out my kids!!Don't get me wrong I love my kids but when you spend all your time with them it's refreshing to get away. Anyways I hope I did not talk too much that wonderful night. And I hope that the lady still want to some day have kids because we gave her details she did not need to hear about!!!! LOL LOL!

My dew is growing back!!!!!!

So I moved to Portland a year ago, and had just had a baby. I decided to cut my hair off in tribute of just having Brasil. So I cut off all my hair to the shortest I have ever had it. It was defiantly fun and easy! I loved it and then it started to grow and expand in the roundish sector, froish sector! I mean like the stars want but cant have! But that everyday people can't sport! So finally two days ago I could start to pull it back it felt so great not have to blow dry it to make it look descent. I am thrilled to finally be a girl again. I now have to figure out how I want to sport it for the fall! I am up for any advice!

Brasil tricked Me!!!!!!!

So Brasil has been with a fever since Sunday and the fever has not broke. So I have been a bit worried about it. And Tory and I have not slept through the night this week! We were up again with her last night and she was really crying hard and throwing herself all over our bed. So you must understand Brasil is very content and mild mannered thus far. So Tory and I tried to do everything we know Brasil likes. We got her a bottle, we kissed her, we sang to her, we exhausted ourselves. So then when she would not stop crying we just prayed what else is left right? So she finally fell asleep and then she was up again carrying on. So the super mom syndrome came over me and I said I am taking her to the hospital at 2am. So I got her bottle and dashed out the door! Brasil slept all the way there and I started to have second thoughts if I should just go home. So I went on and we rushed into the ER. We go in there and as we get checked in Brasil is laughing away wanting to play and talk to everyone. But I just told myself she is so sick she is not in reality right now!!!!!!So the doctor comes in and she is laughing and eating her graham cracker. The doctor ask me so whats wrong with her? I feel really stupid right now I explain how she had just 30minutes ago been in pain and agony that I felt helpless and came to see you. So he check her and everything was great. He told me just keep her fluids up!So I said what about a chest xray or a blood test. My mom just came back from central America and had a bug do you think she caught it? The Doctor looked at me like I was on something. I said look doc my husband is going to laugh at me please find something wrong with this child. He laughed and said just tell him she has an acute viral infection and smirked out the room....Darn I am going home with a singing happy baby...don't get me wrong I am thankful she was feeling better but I was dreading Tory saying I told you so! So then the call comes in its T and I answer and he says whats that noise and I say oh that's your daughter singing and laughing at Mommy. So then T starts laughing and then I start laughing. That Brasil is a piece of work I tell you.
