..As always, I can't just do one.
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people. -John Lennon
There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you're got our sound…We're musical primitives. -Andy Warhol
Reality is something you rise above. -Liza Minnelli
Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin. -Alice in Wonderland
Dreaming is a singing of the mind and taste is just like seeing to the blind. -Sean Lennon
You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. -Stevie Ray Vaughan
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. -The Beatles

30 day journal [day one]
Not much has been going on in the life of Jimena. I've just been working a ton and planning a trip to McAllen for this upcoming weekend. My cooking has been put on hold because I just don't have the energy to get in the kitchen lately! But rest assure, it will have a come back!
For now, I want you to get to know me by doing something that I totally stole from my friend Emily's blog. It's called a 30 day journal. Each day for 30 days [duh] you answer a question and it can be in full detail or just very brief. Here are the Q's:
Day 1: favorite song
Day 2: favorite movie
Day 3: favorite television program
Day 4: favorite book
Day 5: favorite quote
Day 6: 20 of my favorite things
Day 7: photo that makes me happy
Day 8: photo that makes me sad/angry
Day 9: photo i took
Day 10: photo of me from at least 10 years ago
Day 11: recent photo of me
Day 12: something i am ocd about
Day 13: a fictional book
Day 14: a non-fictional book
Day 15: my dream house
Day 16: song that makes me cry
Day 17: an art piece (drawing, painting, sculpture, etc)
Day 18: my wedding
Day 19: a talent of mine
Day 20: a hobby of mine
Day 21: a recipe
Day 22: a website
Day 23: a youtube video
Day 24: my town
Day 25: my day, in great detail
Day 26: my week, in great detail
Day 27: my worst habit
Day 28: what's in my bag/purse?
Day 29: hopes, plans, and dreams for the next 365 days
Day 30: a dream for the future
It's perfect because it does talk about wedding and future plans that I already had in mind of sharing with you all!
So let's start on Day 1: Favorite Song.
In my case, there isn't just one..there's TONS. In a previous blog, I wrote about my favorite songs of the moment. Well, I'll now share my ultimate favorites..

ooo wee baby, i declare you sure look fine.
i've been horrible about blogging and have been extremely busy at work! [sorry sorry sorrryyy] and actually instead of blogging right now, i should be working on some stuff for work. no, i'm not trying to be a brown noser. yes, i love the feeling of being accomplished and getting stuff done.
buuuuut, taking a break to blog don't hurt nobody!
not much has gone on in the life of mena and michael. ok wait..let me take that back, a lot has happened but nothing too shiek.
michael started school, his senior year, a couple of weeks ago. i'm so proud of him and so excited to see him graduate! i know he's soo ready to be out of college but i keep reminding him that senior year is the best and to enjoy it..it flyyyyyys by!
i've been working my booty off but loving every minute of it. i'm one of few people that come home and actually have NO complaints about work. i'm a pretty lucky and blessed gal :]
lately, i've been coming home and just vegging out. i prop my little feet up, turn the tv on, baby winston by my side, a book i can grab if i feel like reading and computer on my lap with iTunes opened. i've been exploring so much music lately. don't ask me if i'm listening to any "new" artist because you know i'm not hip with the times but i will tell you that i'm obsessed with some pretty classics right now. top 10 songs i'm listening to [and i'll be artsy and include lyrics to. no need to thank me]:
10. "i wanna tell you and now's time. i wanna tell you that you're gonna be mine.." Let Me Roll It [Wings]
9. "if i could turn the page, in time then i'd rearrange just a day or two.." Little Lies [Fleetwood Mac]
8. "i swore the last time that you let me down that i wouldn't see you if you came around.." Under Your Spell Again [Bucky Owens]
7. "tell me that you'll never leave, oh i just try to make believe that everything you're telling me is true" Lie to Me [Johnny Lang]
6. "i hope you don't mind that i put down in words, how wonderful life is while you're in the world" Your Song [Elton John]
5. "but now you take my boogie, it keeps you in the groove then your sacroiliac begins to shiver and a move" Lewis Boogie [Jerry Lee Lewis]
4. "come home lastnight, half past four, 19 women knockin' at my door.." Everybody's Trying to be My Baby [Carl Perkins]
3. "it won’t be long, just wait and see i’ll have a big car, fine clothes and then i’ll be.." Uptown [Roy Orbison]
2. "i don't want to fade away.." Bell Bottom Blues [Eric Clapton]
1. "let me love you baby 'til your good love, drive me crazy" Let Me Love You [Stevie Ray Vaughan]
can you tell i'm a little obsessed with old honky tonk, bluesy, 80's music? i know, i'm PATHETIC! but i'm so fascinated by the lyrics, the beat, and the passion each artist puts behind these songs. love it!
ok i really should be productive but i swear, this is all i've been doing! maybe the next blog will be filled with juicy gossip about my training for wife-to-be.
