Day 50 - Something you drew !!

A Lion !!

I drew this lion when I was in high school in 2004.  I used to really like drawing && was pretty good at it.  I haven't really drawn since then so I don't think I'm even good at it anymore but I'll always have this picture to remember what I used to be able to do.

Day 49 - A day your remember really well !!

August 01, 2011 !!

My husband && I recently went to Vegas for the last weekend in July with our friends, Juan && Nayeli.  This picture was taken on our last day there in front of the Luxor Hotel && Casino.  We had an awesome time, made some money && I can't wait to do it all over again!  

Day 48 - Your best friend !!

Danny !!
♥ ♥ ♥

My husband, Danny, has been my best friend for the past 7 years.  He is the person who knows all my secrets && he's always there when I need him. 
He's everything a best friend should be! 
I love him! 

Day 47 - A room in your house !!

The Living Room !!

The living room is a place where everyone spends the most time.  It also has a so many happy memories.  Its where my god son first started walking && where we spent some wonderful Thanksgivings together as a family.

Day 46 - A picture of your favorite state !!

California !!

 

It's the state I was born in && spent a majority of my life, how can it not be my favorite state?  But starting in October of this year, my husband && I will be moving to Nevada.  As much as I love Southern California, I'm excited to start somewhere new && experience new adventures.  That's what life is all about!

Day 45 - Your dinner !!

Denny's !!

 

Often on Thursdays, since my husband does not get off work until 10:00 PM, we have a very late night dinner.  A lot of these late night dinners involve us going to Denny's with our awesome friends.  We all sit in "our booth" eating && laughing.  Tonight was the same.  It's always a good time with our good friends.

Day 44 - A hobby of yours !!

Reading !!

I've always enjoyed reading.  Ever since I was a little girl && I used to read all the Goosebumps books.  I still read a lot today.  It's the biggest hobby of mine.  I love to go to the bookstore for hours to search for a new && interesting book.  My bookshelf is full of all kinds of books of different sizes && genres.  My favorite books are ones without a happy ending. 

Day 43 - The weather outside !!

Sunny !!

 

It was so beautiful && sunny && really hot outside today.  The perfect California weather.  I love the sun && the heat.  Too bad I was at work all day.  What I do love is that I'm right near the beach so you get a nice breeze && you can enjoy every minute of this weather.  I took this picture as I was driving home from work && the sun was setting.

Day 42 - Something you did today !!

 Nothing Out of the Ordinary !!

I got up this morning, went to work, came home around 3:00 PM && ate Chick-Fil-A for dinner.  Now I'm watching TV while I write this blog post.  Nothing out of the usual for a Monday evening.

Day 41 - Someone in your family !!

My In-Laws !!

Two someones that are now my family are my in-laws.  My mother-in-law && father-in-law are two of the nicest people ever.  They've treated me so well && let me live in their house.  They make me feel just like one of their daughters && I'm lucky to be part of their family.

Day 40 - An embarrassing picture from your childhood !!

Me && Eve When We Were Little !!

I don't find it all that embarrassing other than we look like a couple of weirdos.  We're also both missing teeth which makes it funnier.  But I think this picture sums out my childhood pretty well.  Just me && Evelyn being dorks.  To this day, we're still the same little freaks we were back then!

Day 39 - Your favorite picture !!

Baby Ruben && His Ninos !!

My husband && I recently became the god parents to amazing little kid named Ruben Javier.  We love him to death && we are so proud to have been able to earn this honor.  This picture was taken at the church after he was baptised on August 6, 2011.  It is my favorite picture at the moment. 

Day 38 - A useless trinket you own !!

My Star-Shaped Earring Holder !!

It's not really useless.  I use it to hold earrings like it's meant to do but all the earrings on it, I don't wear that's why I think it's useless.  It also holds a lot of random things like scrunchies && key chains.

Day 37 - The last restaurant you ate at !!

Benihana !!



This past Monday night, my husband && I had dinner with some of our best friends at our favorite restaurant, Benihana.  It's always a good time with our friends && we always enjoy the wonderful show && delicious food that the chef cooks right in front of you. 

Day 36 - A place were you spend a lot of time !!

Disneyland !!

This is the first year I've ever had an annual pass && so far I've been more than 10 times.  I love all the fun moments && amazing memories that I have created just this past year from all the visits we have made.  I love being a kid at heart && visiting my favorite place on Earth && I'll never get tired of it! 

Day 35 - Favorite movie that you own !!

RENT the Musical !!

I love this movie cause of the music && I watch it all the time.  I also have the soundtrack so I can just listen to the songs in my car if I'm in the mood.  I have had a chance to see the show live && it's wonderful but having the movie at home is the next best thing especially when the people in the movie version of a musical are the original Broadway cast members.

Day 34 - Something that makes you smile !!

Good Times with Good Friends !!

Our friends are amazing!  We're always having a good time no matter what we're doing!  We're a bunch of weirdos && we're always laughing for no reason at all.   I think this picture of us on Goliath at a recent visit to Six Flags explains it all!

Day 33 - Something you made !!

My Collage !!

I didn't make this by hand.  I made it on a website, but I think it still counts.  I added all the pictures of our little family.   It's framed && it's hanging in my bedroom.  

Day 32 - Something you collect !!

Pressed Pennies !! 

Ever since I was little I have been collecting pressed pennies.  I don't have a very large collection but my collection has a very large sentimental value to me.  A lot of them are mementos of places I have been && a couple of them are from places other people have been && given to me to add to my collection.  One goal I have for my collection is to own all the pressed pennies Disneyland has to offer.  I have my checklist ready.  All I need to do is start collecting.  

Day 31 - A picture of yourself taken today !!

Here I am !!

This is a picture of me taken today in my car during my lunch period trying to be cool && totally succeeding as you can see.

Day 30 - Your breakfast !!

Ice Coffee !!

I'm not a big breakfast person.  I usually don't have anything.  Especially on a day where I have to be at work before 7:00 AM.  So on most days, my breakfast consist of an ice coffee from McDonald's.  I love it cause it's fast, cheap && really good.  Better than anything from Starbucks.  It's a great way to start my day.

Day 29 - A pretty flower (yes go take a picture of a flower) !!

Sunflowers !!

Today's challenge asked for me to go out, find a pretty flower && take a picture of it.  So while on my 30 minute lunch break at work, I went to the floral department of the grocery store right next to where I work && found these pretty sunflowers.  I love sunflowers.  They are so summery!

Day 28 - The shirt you wore today !!

My "I <3 Coke" Shirt !!

 

I really like this shirt && wear it often but what's funny about it is I don't drink Coke anymore.  I haven't had a drink of soda in about 11 months.  But I still love Coke.  It will always be my favorite soda.

Day 27 - The shoes you wore today !!

My Vans !!

Lately, I've been wearing nothing but flip flops since it is Summer.  But today my friends, my husband && I went to the Sand Diego Zoo && I needed some shoes to wear that I'll be comfortable in all day && these were it.

Day 26 - A gift from your family !!

A Gift from My Dad !! 

I can't find a gift that came from my whole family, but I did find this.  It was a toy my dad gave me just this past Valentine's Day.  It's a candy dispenser.  I think it's really cute && so sweet of my dad to think of my mom, my sisters && I to give us something small && cute on Valentine's Day. 

Day 25 - A gift from a friend !!

"Gerry" the Giraffe !! 

This is my new paper friend.  He's actually pretty big from something made of paper.  He was giving to me by my friend, Nayeli, who made it from a giant origami book.  I really think it's cool && I have named him, "Gerry."

Day 24 - Favorite purchase ever made !!

My New Juicy Necklace !! 

I don't buy a lot of nice things.  It's not cause I don't like nice things, but cause I'm a huge cheapsake.  I don't like to spend a lot of money.  But over the weekend, while in Las Vegas, I was window shopping, not expecting to buy anything when my friends, my husband && I walked into the Juicy Couture Store.  I'm not a fan of the brand but we stopped to look around && I was memorized by this beautiful necklace.  It cost $50 so I hesitated to spend that much money on just a necklace but decided to buy it && I'm so glad I did.  I love it && I think that if I ended up not buying it, I would have regret it.  It has became my new favorite purchase ever made.

Day 23 - A school picture !!

Me in 4th Grade !!

This school photo of me is from the 4th grade.  What makes it unique is the fact that my scrunchy was red && my little sister was wearing the exact same outfit but in red && she had a blue scrunchy.  I don't know if this was a mistake on my mom's part or if she did it on purpose, but it did my our school pictures for that year pretty interesting.

Day 22 - Favorite CD that you own !!

My iPod !!

My iPod has every CD I own && love.  I don't play CD's anymore.  Even in my car, I have a cord that allows me to play the music from my iPod through my radio.  So my iPod is my favorite anything.  It may be old && not in the best condition, but it's my life.  Music is the gateway to our souls.

Day 21 - A picture of your cell phone !!

My Cell Phone !!

I did this one already in the last challenge.  It's pretty self-explanatory.  So here you go.  My "incredible" phone.
