Storm Warning!!

Douglas County Nebraska has a severe thunderstorm coming our way! They are telling people to STAY AT WORK until the storm passes! That is how serious this storm is! 80+mph wind gusts and over golf ball size hail.

The tornado sirens are going off…

And, of course, my sky shots. More to come…

 

 

 

 

Mexican Movies.

The biggest arguement in our household is based off of Jose’s jealousy of my computer.  He thinks I spend entirely too much time on the internet.  Hah, if he knew how much I actually am on the computer, he’d have a heart attack.    He always wants me to watch TV with him, but our television interests are nothing alike.  Give Jose a novela, any novela, and he is hooked.  No novelas?  How about an action movie?  It doesn’t matter if he’s watched it a trillion times.  No good American movies?  We have quite a few Spanish movie channels with Pedro Infante and Vicente Ferndandez movies on almost 24/7.  And, the Chapulin Colorado or El Chavo Del 8 is almost always on! 

I like The Office, Roseanne, Full House, and the Harry Potter movies.  And movies like Suer Bad and Knocked Up that we can’t watch while the girls are still awake.  Any of the above (with the exception of the action movie the FIRST time!) I probably won’t watch.  So… as you see, we don’t have much in common.

But, a couple Saturday nights ago, Jose was watching said Spanish movie channels.  My computer is right next to the TV, so I was catching glimpses of the movies, and oh my freaking God, it was the funniest movie I have ever seen.  Jose was giggling like someone was tickling him. 

My friends, I was introduced Los Verduleros! 

I can’t believe most of my Mexican amigas have no idea what I’m talking about.  These movies are so funny (I think there are three in the series?) I don’t understand how they have never heard of them.  Jose had the darned movie almost memorized!!  So… I’m asking you all, does anyone know what I’m talking about?  Or do your husbands? 

Yes, the humor is quite vulgar (LoL, I was introduced to the phrase “Que poca madre!”) and there IS nudity… 

But they are hilarious.  That night, the computer was shut off (GASP!) and I parked myself in front of the TV to watch the rest of the movie. 

“Pinche arbolito de navidad!”

“Porque le dices arbolito de navidad?!”

“Porque las bolas no mas los tiene de adorno!”

Sorry, sorry.  I hope I haven’t offended anyone!!!   

Here’s a clip of another similar movie (Los Albaniles) I found on Youtube.  I’ll be buying all of these flicks!!!

Enjoy!!

 

 

 

 

 

I want my darned chicken…

Usually, we are not out and about in this household until after 10am, usually closer to noon.  So, since todays plans involved me and the girls dressed and out of the house before 6:30am, it has been an off day.  A very off day.  I am so tired and lazy and don’t want to do a damned thing.  And I have hiccups, which sucks. 

We had to take my suegra down to the Medical Center to get a C/T scan done.  She’s been having some serious stomach discomfort, so on Wednesday her doctor ordered the scan for her.  She had the appointment at 8:15am, but had to be there 45 minutes early so that she could drink some pink stuff and fill out paperwork.  The girls quickly got distracted, so we took a self guided tour of the hospital.  And damn, I wish I would have had my camera!

Right outside the C/T scan and MRI area, there was a set of doors leading to a super beautiful garden/memorial thing.  The sprinklers were on, so I let the girls kick their shoes off and get their feet wet.  They had a blast doing that!  Then we headed upstairs (my ever-hungry self was in search of a cafeteria) and ended up on the NICU floor.  As we turned around to go back, I noticed a sign that said “Rooftop Garden”.  Hmmm…

Another set of doors let us out onto the roof, and an even more beautiful garden complete with ponds and fountains awaited us!  The girls were very impressed!  LOL, Livie wanted to go swimming in the pond!

We found some more interesting things… A huge pavillion with sofas, flat screen TVs, WIFI, and a coffee bar for visitors/patients/family to relax.  We DID find the cafeteria, but I didn’t have any cash (duh!).  We visited the chapel, too.

All in all, I was very impressed.  It was my first visit to the Clarkson side of the Medical Center.  Over on the University side, I became really familiar with things after having two kids there and Olivia’s 19 day NICU stay. 

LoL, anyways, (I got very sidetracked!) after we took my suegra back home, I decided to go to Hy-Vee for some lunch!  I wanted a rotisserie chicken so darned bad!  But… (sad sigh) I guess they aren’t ready at 9am.  Damn.

If I would have planned a little better, I could have went to Jacobos in South Omaha and got one!  They are always ready there, and very good.  I could have picked up some rice or tamales, too. 

Darn.  Now I’m disappointed all over again!! 

Have a wonderful Friday!!!
