Fiestas Patrias at The Fair

Latino Day. It is a MUST on my calendario every year. I love seeing the sea o' Latinos in their finest gear enjoying the Fair. Carol, Natalie and I went for dinner last night, and in between bites, we were entertained.


I need some of these! And you know the Pupu needs to rock one of those buckles.


DEEP! There was some Banda group onstage, and it continued throughout the day.


Lookin' fly in their gear.


Looking fresh and still taking care of the kids.


Why you so nasty Khurl? Gotta love the Crusty Pup. She doesn't eat pork but one time a year...and it's the Pup.


Lookin' at Bunny with her fishy face!

Saying no to triathlons.

Yeah! The race is over and they did an awesome job!


They are waiting to swim...in that ice cold lake!


GO Cid and Gabe!

Today Gabe did his first triathlon. It was at "Try-It" triathlon, that let him experience the race as a novice. Mi hermana did it with him, even though she did a half-marathon of 1.2 miles swim, 56 miles bike and 13.1 run the day before! Who does that? The race they did today was .25 miles swim, 11 mile bike and 2.8 mile run. I know, nothing! LOL. It was fun to see him push and finish victoriously.

While CinDee and Gabe were swimming, biking and running, Lou and I watched all the curious peeps at the event! Lots of kids and dogs. And parents that looked like they just rolled out of bed. I did my part, and tried to blend in with some yoga pants and sporty zip-up! I think my earings, makeup, InStyle magazine and combed hair gave me away as if "non-excersiser" was stamped on my head! Oh well. I did run a few meters to get out of the way of actual racers. That's gotta be good for something!

At the end, Gabe said he liked doing it, and will probably do more. I'll guess I'll need to work on my disguise for the next time I get up at 5:30am to see him.

Adios!

Today was my last day at the job I've had for the past 8.5 years. It feels a little weird, but I'm ready for the change. I'm off to start a new chapter!

While I was bored and watching the clock these last couple of days, I came across some hot items that I think my new employer would love me to rock!

Besame. Besame mucho.

Ahhh. I can finally say I've seen Luis Miguel in concert! Te amo, te amo mi corazon. Ok, maybe I'm not as crazy as the lady in the video...but close.

Muy Romantico!

I am FINALLY seeing Luis Miguel in concert tonight! Carol and I have been loving him from afar for YEARS. And tonight at 8:30 pm, we will be loving him in person! Ok, he'll be on stage, but still. We have been dreaming of seeing this muy fantastico romantico for decades. I can't wait!

Amor.

Ahhh. I'm in love! Yes, we all know about the Pupu. But I'm not talking about my love for him! I just bought a new computer. My dream computer. We are joined at the fingertips and keyboard. I can't take my eyes off this beauty...but I better! Because I'm starting to get a headache! I'm sure our love will wain, but right now we're in the honeymoon stage, and I couldn't be happier! It's everything I've dreamt of. Lots of memory, tons of ram, dvd/cd burning, built-in camera and the best part...17 inches! I'm one lucky girl.
