March 23rd, 2008 Happy Easter!

I remember when I was about fifteen or so and I asked my older brother Mike about chocolate bunnies on Easter. I wondered why we ate them.

He replied with “Imagine if we ate off the heads of chocolate Jesus. I don’t think it’d be as cute.” That made me laugh. XD I still remember that to this day and reflect on that at times.

Today’s actually been a pretty lovely day despite all the rain. It’s been raining for two days around these here parts, but it’s nice. I really like the sound of rain, it reminds me of the beach (close your eyes and you’ll feel like you’re hearing the shore and waves, not rain) so it calms me. What’s weather like where you’re all at?

Even though it’s raining Mayito (mom’s boyfriend) and his brother Valdamir are outside on the grill making some sausages and other random assortments of meat for today. They have cheese out there too, but it’s Spanish cheese and blah. I don’t like it. Tastes like dried butter or something. Very odd flavoring to that cheese. They really like meat and cheese.

But it’s okay, because I have two loafs of Cuban bread in the kitchen so I can just munch on that while waiting for the meats. Wow, they’re playing the Macarena on the radio. Talk about a flash to my earlier years / the 90s.

Yeah. I can’t be a vegetarian. I like meat too much. I’ve tried the whole vegetarian thing but lasted about two months and broke down with total need of a steak in my mouth, ha.

I took a shower and I smell like strawberries, yum! You know, I really dislike shampoos / candles that smell like flowers. I don’t know why. They feel artificial (but they smell like flowers?) to me. If you put a Dandelion shampoo and a Strawberry Milkshake shampoo in front of me, you bet your ass I’ll use the Strawberry Milkshake one (and I did!). Same goes for candles. I only buy food-smelling candles. Right now I have a pumpkin pie candle on in the kitchen.

Mom and Grandma are upstairs sorting the mess of clothes and other items they’ve bought for my Grandma to take back to Cuba with her. The whole bed is covered in clothes and other junk. I hope they’re finished soon. Not for any particular reason but mainly because it sucks to do something like that on a holiday.

I haven’t seen Simba. Well I have but that was only in the morning when he jumped on my face. But besides that, I think he’s outside somewhere. He’s a beautiful, fat thing.

As for my fraternal twin brother Mark, he’s working now. And yes, all of my mother’s children start with Ms. Mike, Melissa (that’s me) and Mark. Can’t escape the Ms. And she wants me to name my daughter Mia. It’s a beautiful name but I don’t like what it means in Spanish (Mia = Mine. I don’t OWN my child) plus it’s yet another M name.

I would love to name my daughter something alternative like Luna but my family would hate it. There’s a cat named Luna in the family. “You’re naming her after a cat?!” I love the name Luna it’s so beautiful. But if not I can name her Alexis which is another name I really like.

If it’s a boy? Damien or Daniel. I thought of Adam but we already have a relative named Adam. Who I haven’t seen in a few years. Oh well.

No, I’m not pregnant. This is food for future thought.

All in all, today’s been a very nice day so far. As you can see, I’m working on writing about my life instead of the geeky net stuff I write about all the time. Writing about my day like this takes me back to when I was hosted by Icia. Good times. Where I blogged manually for two years. Very good, simple times.

   Happy Easter!

   In Vegas it’s beautiful and sunny, probably about 90 Fahrenheit. It’s great.

   My family is big on meat and cheese too. And bread. All at once. There’s always a plate of bread and cheese somewhere, and if you’re lucky some soppresata. Yum!

   We’re having a party tonight for Easter. I guess it’s our turn to host the party, even though we did Thanksgiving. Canadian Thanksgiving. My Auntie did American Thanksgiving so it’s our turn again. Ugh.

   We’re doing a roast beef. Gross. I guess I’ll just fill up on veggies. And my mom’s making stuffed mushrooms. Gross. Maybe just chips and salsa then, for me. I would love to be a vegetarian. My mom won’t let me, she’d cut the chicken too small for me to pick out of my food. And I love bacon. Waaay too much to give up meat.

   Um… kids names? I want a son or two, Tobias and Chris or Michael. Can’t decide. I like both Christopher and Michael. I have no idea what I’d name the kid if it was a girl. That’d be up to the mother XD
