But I thought it was so cute, witty, sweet…even heart breaking at times. I definitely recommend this movie to everyone. It’s a perfect date night flick if you can get your boyfriend/fiancé/husband to take you to it. I could even see it being a movie you go with all the girls to. It was just so real, everyone can relate! Not to mention the awesome A-list cast. How can you resist?? It’s all of our favorite romantic comedy actors and actresses all in 1 movie! (Minus a few) But go, go , go see it!!Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-51433335507762791562010-02-15T14:51:00.000-08:002010-02-15T14:53:45.150-08:005 Random Things.Tagged by Mrs.Boss <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bizness</span> herself.<br /><br /><br />1.

Channing Tatum was extremely HOT as usual, but he cried a lot in this movie. After you see it, you’ll understand why. But I definitely think you should hold off to seeing it in the theatre, because it wasn’t really worth the $10.25 I paid. Get the bootleg or wait for it on DVD. I really love Amanda Seyfried…I think she’s really beautiful. When I was watching Mean Girls last night, it totally slipped my mind that it was her in that movie! I like her as the girl next door, not too much make-up. She really is drop-dead gorgeous. The ending was a total disappointment. Seriously…all you could hear was “that’s it?” coming from every persons mouth.<br /><br /></div>Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-39773343642690868352010-02-08T07:50:00.000-08:002010-02-08T07:59:18.712-08:00Saints don't lose on Sundays!!<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">It’s the SUPER SAINTS!!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so exhausted from a trip before. Probably because we decided to make it a cousin trip, meaning…our parents didn’t go, so we had the kids all to ourselves, nobody to hand them off to when you needed a break. So it was already decided that next year we are taking them with us! I am having major withdrawals from my family. We are all super close and sometimes I wish we all lived down the street from each other again, instead of spread across the country like we are now.<br /><br />I would have to say that with all the pressure from my cousins (with them threatening to push me down the extremely high bunny slope); I really improved in my snowboarding. Going with the new motto, “It’s now or never!” Because I thought it was much better for me to determine when I would be going down instead of someone pushing me. So I just kept going for it, it’s a given you are going to fall…with anything in life, you fall to get up and learn from your mistakes. I can’t wait for the next boarding trip!<br /><br />Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip…<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2EkYQizCwnMmNRWhcfRhSQJcFGW-k6bnOSRYjT6rOwpbG0SkIDN6DvJp0WHZk9RkMN8Mk6LWRbFd7fNXTLdJtNXxbxe_JQTYCWh6D7p_ZaPLQ8jPBK_FmtrGo-VlEuoKQ98667NU406E/s1600-h/17280_537640693428_184700849_31632811_4786209_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435900233194933730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2EkYQizCwnMmNRWhcfRhSQJcFGW-k6bnOSRYjT6rOwpbG0SkIDN6DvJp0WHZk9RkMN8Mk6LWRbFd7fNXTLdJtNXxbxe_JQTYCWh6D7p_ZaPLQ8jPBK_FmtrGo-VlEuoKQ98667NU406E/s320/17280_537640693428_184700849_31632811_4786209_n.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7yyX6Rpq9gkT-IY2lmNIxGOTjOb-XmYsfqoAuzfgL_UraKPsYUGUOAnRkkkIWJNAx0DIO69nsxaqTmXZvbYbEnh2Py5wcY9pwgYB39kR5ubGe5UqbI6RmXvAErYEbRQh_P33m70Yqyc/s1600-h/18074_280654577793_639952793_3605390_6327236_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435900231636265090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic7yyX6Rpq9gkT-IY2lmNIxGOTjOb-XmYsfqoAuzfgL_UraKPsYUGUOAnRkkkIWJNAx0DIO69nsxaqTmXZvbYbEnh2Py5wcY9pwgYB39kR5ubGe5UqbI6RmXvAErYEbRQh_P33m70Yqyc/s320/18074_280654577793_639952793_3605390_6327236_n.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2grSsK1iPK17Ct7N3WElZ4U4EZHSKy-EaVKYLlgPWjqVO-0an76I_xm-t2aGvk70elCl2XtzBMzNLi3wlEsO01I54GqJpSgs7c3qAGuxcTYUAxiy0HAD7teRPUsXYLsfI4Mp9XpIX9qo/s1600-h/22760_304659246179_755031179_4405377_5737226_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435900218484822722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2grSsK1iPK17Ct7N3WElZ4U4EZHSKy-EaVKYLlgPWjqVO-0an76I_xm-t2aGvk70elCl2XtzBMzNLi3wlEsO01I54GqJpSgs7c3qAGuxcTYUAxiy0HAD7teRPUsXYLsfI4Mp9XpIX9qo/s320/22760_304659246179_755031179_4405377_5737226_n.jpg" border="0" /></a> Until next year...GUZMANS!!Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-41861540509745222442010-01-28T08:06:00.001-08:002010-01-28T08:06:51.566-08:00Guzman Family Vacation.So we are about to depart on our 1st annual “GUZMAN CUZ-O CABIN TRIP”. I’m too excited to be concentrating on work, so I figured I would blog instead. All my cousins from Texas & Chicago are flying in for this trip then we are off to Utah in the morning! :)<br /><br />Since some of us started popping out kids, our summer cousin trips have ceased. Personally, I am too broke to travel and I feel guilty traveling without my kids. I know, you people may think I’m crazy, but when I am away from my kids for just a few hours I can’t help but stare at their pictures on my blackberry. I guess you could say I will trade a night home with my kids over any club.

Both of them love to have fun, have an adventurous nature and enjoy life. They will find each other quite fascinating and love each other's company. The Lion is on the same intellectual level as the Gemini and this will make their conversions interesting as well as soul-satisfying. However, the varied interests of the latter may make a Leo jealous, as he wants to hold the primary importance in a relationship.<br /><br />Leo is much more capable of forming long-lasting bonds than Gemini and tends to stick to the people and the things he likes. This may clash with the Gemini trait of being on the move, all the time. The sharp tongue of the latter may hurt the fragile ego of the Lion and this may bring some compatibility problems in this love match. However, a Leo forgives easily and this will act as a major relief. Geminis make Leos relax and they, in turn, teach the Twins generosity and warmth. If they learn to give each other freedom, this relationship can be a very strong one.<br /><br /><strong>Gemini Man and Leo <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Woman</span></strong><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error">Except</span> for a few grey areas, the love match of a Gemini man and Leo woman shows great degree of compatibility. It has all the signs of developing into a lasting bond. Both the individuals love to be the center of attraction and thrive on parties and socializing. They will never fall short of meaningful conversation and there will be no chances of boredom creeping into this relationship. However, he will have to control his flirtatious nature and she will have to learn to let him have his freedom, without being suspicious.<br /><br /><strong>Gemini Woman and Leo <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Man</span></strong><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error">A</span> Gemini woman and a Leo man have extremely good chances of getting on well with each other. Both are social individuals, who love meeting new people and enjoy going to the parties. She will love his grandiosity, his funny sense of humor and his generous nature. He will adore her for her vivacity, adventurous nature and passion for life. There will be no dearth of romance and passion in this relationship. One thing they will have to remember will be to complement each other and never ever stand on the opposite side of the road, whatever is the temptation.<br /><br /><strong>They hit this one right on the nose!!</strong>Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-21335753681376108802009-11-24T15:03:00.001-08:002009-11-24T15:04:44.495-08:00Memory LaneDon’t you just love how you can look at a picture and remember the exact place it was taken? Or when you hear a song and all of a sudden it takes you back 5 or 10 years. It’s weird how certain things can trigger your mind to just go back into time, feeling that exact emotion as if you are living that moment over again. Every few years I dig into the archives of my computer or the boxes and boxes of pictures and letters at my parents house and I’m just thrown back. Where has the time gone?? When I was younger I was in such a rush to grow-up, but now I just wish time would slow down. I think it’s good to go back and take that journey of life through those pictures and songs. To remember how you were and to realize who you have become. I find it quite fascinating!Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-950119741150607642009-10-14T21:21:00.000-07:002009-10-14T21:24:37.099-07:00Skype me.<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_RkOxWUeGbNbV8D4IEEqZiy5U3GiyTHvtJELPoBHGYkOl6wAGHO0UWk6a4Q9dPxMjJYqZi4p_oNpEhfGuwWChJbghepJg4NO3p5wO_AzU8LMo6yZdoJKSJwezwsiIxuhOTWdyg4XlGY/s1600-h/WeeMee_17548894_for_antoine.gemmarie.alcaraz.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392677340186686802" style="WIDTH: 218px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 191px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK_RkOxWUeGbNbV8D4IEEqZiy5U3GiyTHvtJELPoBHGYkOl6wAGHO0UWk6a4Q9dPxMjJYqZi4p_oNpEhfGuwWChJbghepJg4NO3p5wO_AzU8LMo6yZdoJKSJwezwsiIxuhOTWdyg4XlGY/s320/WeeMee_17548894_for_antoine.gemmarie.alcaraz.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div align="center">the shirt says "<strong>TEAM EDWARD</strong>"</div><div align="center">and since i can't wear sunglasses in real life my cartoon can!</div><div align="center">oh, and let's not forget the infamous CUP.<br /></div>Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-24882913129224621942009-10-10T20:36:00.000-07:002009-10-10T21:52:54.987-07:00Rockin' with the best!<p class="mobile-photo" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cdw6BA4kaDQ-IlmG7pFwJ_SUfAotc3pBkD9GFXaF2ylREeWIdnULxSq1fswLO_P7ymfPUoKs-0d_MGqS9iTTRFvB57LxwNvCTFEZHl9ALIGO80LQYbchsCf5V14qJDyp9kRlZbFgjCM/s1600-h/bm-image-777875.jpe"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391178574153088546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cdw6BA4kaDQ-IlmG7pFwJ_SUfAotc3pBkD9GFXaF2ylREeWIdnULxSq1fswLO_P7ymfPUoKs-0d_MGqS9iTTRFvB57LxwNvCTFEZHl9ALIGO80LQYbchsCf5V14qJDyp9kRlZbFgjCM/s320/bm-image-777875.jpe" /></a></p>So proud of my godson Bailey aka "BAILROK" for being inducted into the legendary ROCK¤STEADY¤CREW today at the Mighty 4 event!!

(emphasizing on your body)! Unfortunately, you are never the same exact person you were before you had the baby after you had it. Make sense?! Your whole purpose of life changes...you no longer put "you" first. I know people always say, you still have to make time for you. And as easy as that sounds...it's not that easy...Because I would rather put their needs before my own.<br /><br /><div><div>Every year right before summer, i always dread it because summer=bathing suit.

You can just tell it's TRUE HAPPINESS.</p><div><br /><em>Living proof, you really can have it all...</em></div></div>Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-45929547825640824462009-09-27T23:05:00.000-07:002009-09-27T23:01:02.318-07:00Dream."Excellence can be obtained if you:<p>...care more than others think is wise;<p>...risk more than others think is safe;<p>...dream more than others think is practical;<p>...expect more than others think is possible."Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-44418147297218389392009-09-24T06:22:00.000-07:002009-09-25T17:10:49.099-07:00Vote or DIE.<div align="center"><a href="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs272.snc1/9917_146449276179_755031179_3303010_1403446_n.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 251px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px" alt="" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs272.snc1/9917_146449276179_755031179_3303010_1403446_n.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxnOiQfp1YMo4_BYM5ogiuYKay16VWPJOKPZ7AnUx2z5U8la6bnV2kXFNVmEQLoA-Xrady-PSVnaStPQZSEzkYyXqsasapB6CFfUnWVfgKmAwVO9_6Tyu0Deuhl6Ra1ISpVHq1AU8wQg/s1600-h/august09+145.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385025283798458594" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxnOiQfp1YMo4_BYM5ogiuYKay16VWPJOKPZ7AnUx2z5U8la6bnV2kXFNVmEQLoA-Xrady-PSVnaStPQZSEzkYyXqsasapB6CFfUnWVfgKmAwVO9_6Tyu0Deuhl6Ra1ISpVHq1AU8wQg/s320/august09+145.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>We have entered ALY & Brendan in the Gap Casting Call. ;) You can vote once a day thru Nov 17th...so please do so...we really appreciate the support.<br /><br />Please forward to Family & Friends.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /><strong><font size="5">Vote for me so I can be the Fan Favorite:</font> </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><a href="http://family.go.com/gapcastingcall/entries/bjisla/">http://family.go.com/gapcastingcall/entries/bjisla/</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK27tFAlPQI6ICjws-Dwhvy0g2mgy-t0kinP5xRYGehPnonL_g_ml0ZTyQlDmU3NepmT3n1VEnf_ksOA0-ZuAsz6szpOevY_9542tClnklD-l4uP40iA4SstVjySV9Ylu4TQxjbRyhJaY/s1600-h/mayjune+420.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385025285851681042" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK27tFAlPQI6ICjws-Dwhvy0g2mgy-t0kinP5xRYGehPnonL_g_ml0ZTyQlDmU3NepmT3n1VEnf_ksOA0-ZuAsz6szpOevY_9542tClnklD-l4uP40iA4SstVjySV9Ylu4TQxjbRyhJaY/s320/mayjune+420.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs154.snc1/5728_129571896179_755031179_3036479_263424_n.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 408px" alt="" src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs154.snc1/5728_129571896179_755031179_3036479_263424_n.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-65181398115501873592009-09-23T22:10:00.000-07:002009-09-23T22:03:13.566-07:00EYE scream, U scream...We all scream for GLEE!!<p>Dear God,<p>Thank you for GLEE, its the little things that make me happy... :) Wednesday nights will never EVER EVER be the same...Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022774161135189801.post-6111283971685023482009-09-13T23:32:00.000-07:002009-09-14T14:47:16.565-07:00MTV.Watching the VMA's tonight these were the highlights and low lights:<br /><p>-MJ tribute was awesome, but damn, they should have murdered that shit.

At first I thought it was nightmares, but its more than just that. I don't know why it took me so long to do my research but this article pretty much sums it up: <p>What's the Issue?<p>Night wakings are frustrating for parents. We all know what it is like when your infant wakes up in the dead of night for a feed and then won't resettle … at 3:00 AM, when you are at your lowest level of functioning as a parent. But now, your toddler should be a reasonable sleeper, and these night wakings take on a new flavor: scary, tiresome, and just plain yucky.<p>Consider the Numbers<p>Between one and six percent of all children have night terrors (also called sleep terrors), according to Rudolph's Fundamentals of Pediatrics—one of the "big three" doctors' textbooks. But one recent study in the journal Pediatrics (May 2007) showed that up to 40 percent of all children have at least one night terror by their sixth birthday. This seems a more accurate number from what I see in pediatric practice. Additionally, statistics say that one third of children who have night terrors will begin experiencing them in the second year of life. <p>Also interesting about night terrors? They're more common in boys, and children who have night terrors often have other family members who have them as well.<p>What Parents Can Do<p>Understanding night terrors may make them seem a bit less freaky, and they can be most easily explained as being caught in between wakefulness and sleep. Think of it this way: The brain disconnects from the body during sleep. That is why—thankfully!—we don't all get out of bed and act out our dreams. <p>Parasomnias (medical talk for sleep disorders such as night terrors) are disturbances in which there is an incomplete disconnect, so to speak. Your child may be partially awake and able to generate some motor movement, but she is mostly asleep and thus oblivious to her surroundings. Children who experience night terrors don't remember what has happened the next day—just like kids (or adults) who talk or walk in their sleep<p>Night terrors can come in many varieties. The classic night terror involves sitting up in the crib, eyes wide open and screaming like there is a lion loose in the room (because that is what she might be dreaming). Kids are generally inconsolable and may even get a bit more agitated as you try to comfort them. They may hallucinate, talk gibberish, or lash out at you physically. <p>Night terrors can also involve talking (for those more verbal toddlers), saying nothing, or even laughing. I had one family ready to call the family chaplain for an exorcism after finding their child sitting up in bed at 10:30 PM looking at the wall and giggling with a deep voice. Yikes! (No wonder some say they are called night "terrors"—because they terrify parents.)Your child's doctor will likely tell you that night terrors are normal and then explain the physiology behind them. (This is a fairly common late-night discussion with a worried parent over the phone.) <p>What patterns do night terrors follow?<br /><br />• They typically occur one to two hours into the night's sleep, or certainly in the first third of your child's night's sleep. <p>• The terror generally lasts less than 20 minutes and concludes with the child lying down and going into a deeper stage of sleep. <p>• Night terrors often occur in bunches. We tend to see more of them when kids are off schedule and their routines are disrupted—so, during holidays (when bedtimes are less rigid), just after a move to a new home, during times of illness, or even following Daylight Saving Time changes can come times of increased terrors. <p>How can parents handle night terrors? <p>The usual advice for parents of kids with recurrent night terrors is to check on your child to make sure everything is OK and to let it run its course—not always an easy task when your child seems so miserable. If you intervene, which is a parent's natural instinct, it usually takes longer to resolve and involves more agitation. <p>When kids are having frequent and predictable night terrors, doctors will sometimes advise waking kids 15 minutes before a night terror will likely occur. So if Will is having nightly terrors at 10:30, you might awaken him at 10:00 or 10:15 briefly and let him fall back asleep. This disrupts the sleep cycle just enough to avert the predictable sleep disturbance. Most children outgrow their night terrors before they turn 12, though a few adults still have them on occasion.<p>(I will definitely be putting some of these tactics to use. Hope this helps for anyone in a similar situation.

The older they get the sadder I get, waterworks are more than just puddles and rivers they're lakes and oceans. As much as I'm glad to see him become independent, I'm a mom, I want him to need me and want me to do things for him and with him. Now a days he acts like he knows everything and can do it all on his own...he really does know a lot, but damn, that's still my baby!!Gemx2http://www.blogger.com/profile/14948291483578343747noreply@blogger.com0
