Just because I feel mischievious...

A happy moment at Miggy's goodbye. ;)

Locked away!

I've been trying to find a way to present this special moment of my day, but I honestly can't make up my mind which one is best. - So I'll just come out with it! I was locked up!!! - LITERALLY! :D

You see, I'm helping take notes for some meetings and we're staying at a little flat close to the main house. - We have to walk to the main house for lunch and meals. Come the end of the morning meeting we're heading out to lunch, so I run to the bathroom before we leave, only to come out and find that not only has everyone left without me, but they've also locked me in the appartment. :D - And guess what? It's the type that you can't open without the key. (Which they have with them!)

Thankfully one of them left their cell phone here (mine doesn't have credit) so I use it to call the one who I know has his cell phone with him. Turns out he looks at it ringing and tells the other guy that "hey, you're calling me". However the guy who's phone I'm using is like "that's odd, no way, I can't be, I left my phone at the apartment". - So yes, you guessed it, he didn't pick up the call.

I then try skyping everyone who is at the other house asking them to please let them know I'm still here. - But nope, no one's at their computers.

By this point I'm laughing, a lot! (TG for a good sense of humor!) Thankfully I have info, and dig up the phone number of the house, when someone picks up, and I say "hi, this is Cel" - the girl on the other side goes "oh, hi Cel - what's up?" and I'm like "well, let's just say that I'm locked in the appartment, and I have a feeling my bosses have no idea and totally forgot me, but I'd really like to get out". I hear this yelp on the other side of the phone "Oh my God! You locked Cel in the appartment?!" followed by a string of "oh dear, oh nooo....!!!" and a few minutes later one of them had ran back as fast as they could to get me. :D

They felt so bad, it was cute. - And I'm sure they won't forget me again, but it was funny, very funny - I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Talk about making sure your secretary gets her work done - not only do you ensure she has her hours, but that she also stays there over-time. - Ah yes, this will be a memory for sure.

A secretary's job is never done...

2 things about Christmas you probably didn't know!

So...let's test your knowledge of Christmas here people's!

• Did you know that Jesus was born with one tooth? :D
• And were you aware that though Joseph wore those tunic thingys, Mary actually wore pants?

You don't believe me? Here, check these out!

Oh, and there's a 3rd originality (see if you can catch it)...close up pic coming soon! ;)

God's protection rocks!

My bro just chatted me about this awesome miracle of protection! He was witnessing in this usual spot, and for some reason he and the guy he was with had a check to move to this other spot, for no real apparent reason, only to find that not too long after they did a car came flying out of nowhere and took the pole (right where my bro usually stands) with it (like tissue paper blown in the wind), smashing into a car on the other side of the road. If my bro was standing there he would have been killed - for a certainty!

I got goose bumps all over me when he told me, but oh my gosh, am I thankful to know that he's doing his part to stay close to the Lord, praying and heeding those checks. - And that the Lord is protecting him. TYJ!!!! Helps me feel more convicted to really keep those prayer vigils rolling as he's definitely on my personal list! (Please keep him in your prayers too! TX!)

Oh, and yes, I seem to have a "cara de si". :D

Angel?

I must admit - it's flattering! :P

You scored as Angel

Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

What Mythological Creature are you?

Woo-hoo!

Today is a GOOD day! - A REAL GOOD day! It's Heidi's Birthday! :D

ILY Heidi - you're such a beautiful person, and I know each and every year makes you more and more special. - And I'm praying that you have an awesome year in every way possible.

And just to add to how great this day is, today, 3 years ago, I moved to Mexico. - 3 YEARS!! Can you believe it? And I'm still here...that's the grandest part. ;)

I noticed the Home even has a party scheduled for tonight (yeah, yeah, I know it's not 'cause of me, but hey, allow me to be conceited once in a blue moon. K?). Celebrate with me?

Two to go

We're in November! HELP! Did you realize that? Less than two months to go and it's 2008. Wow! I remember looking towards 2007 thinking it would be a cool year. Don't ask me why, perhaps it's because I figured it was the last year in my "20's" and was bound to be cool, or maybe it's just because I liked the number 7 in it. - I don't know, either way, time is flying, and I have NO idea where 2007 went. So much has happened this year. Right?My days and weeks have all been blending together really, even more so lately, though life at the CTC is anything but mundane. - It's very quiet, that's for sure (considering I'm comparing to, well, XD times), but yeah, different.

I've been keeping busy, as usual, don't let the latest post throw you off, if anything I'm proud of myself for taking a few minutes off work to rest my brains and let the foolish side of me come out. ;) Turns out we had pizza and beer that night, quite fun actually, chilling around the table, etc.
The bad part is that for some strange reason the next day I came down with a nasty tummy bug that seems to be going around. - And the oddest thing for me is that just a few days ago I was thinking of how I haven't been sick in a while, and even making a mental note of how the last time I thought that, I came down with a tummy bug. (And I even thanked the Lord that I live next door to a bathroom this time around.) Oh well, I guess it was time to ensure that I was detoxed a la natural. - Some people come to Mexico, get Montezuma's revenge, and get the immunity to whatever bugs go around here, but me? I guess I just don't! PTL!
On to other things though, I've been trying out my hand with keeping Justin and Linda's pet alive while they're on their visa trip. - Seeing as we're neighbors they asked me to take care of her, so yes, so far so good. Her name is Guenevere (though for some reason I keep wanting to call her Gwyneth) and if anyone knows me and pets they know that I'm REALLY being nice about this one. - So far she's alive. - That's pretty miraculous really! (And Justin and Linda, if you're reading this, I have NOT forgotten to feed her & give her milk/water at all. - She's actually VERY much alive.)

And yes, I can finally post some pics of my lovely room, please note the life of my plants, it means a lot to me. :)

I still need to think of something for that wall - its a bit bare, but yes, it's in the works.

Good ol' faithful desk has been through a lot, but yes, its here too. :)

Notice anything different in this latest picture? :D (Hint...there's a reflection!)

The Lord's been super good to me (He always is) and I not only have a nice room but it's a tad bit bigger than my last one, and, as I mentioned above, it's right by a bathroom too (so I don't have to run across the house to get to one), and to add to it, the Lord supplied a nice bed and cupboard, seeing as I left my other one at the other home so they could use it, rather than carrying it all out here.
So yes, life is good, and God is fair. ;) - He definitely doesn't take something away without giving you something better. - The thing that freaks me out a bit is that usually, when my room gets set up, its time to move again...oh well, no worries there, so far He's proven that He's got me in His arms, so I'll just enjoy the ride and ensure I have tons of fun with it.

Do NOT try this at...work!

"I need inspiration :( - I already tried coffee..."

That was (kind of still is) my skype comment! No, I'm not depressed (TYJ! - I rarely get that!) I am just currently in a "blank-mind" state. - I cannot put sentences together, I can't seem to write anything, I'm just drained and uninspired. - So yes, I was fishing for suggestions. And boy, did I get some?!

• T. suggested sex - I liked her idea. :D
• C. suggested painting my room different colors...though when I brought up the suggestion T. gave of sex she agreed that it might be a better suggestion than hers.
• S.#1 suggested Mate...ahem...I personally do NOT like Mate, but yeah, I mentioned the sex option and he too realized that was a better option.
• S.#2 suggested some goofy Kinko and FedEx ads...which went way over my head, until he pointed out it was a suggestion, at which point I also enlightened him to the sex option and he realized that too was a much better suggestion. - He was the quickest/easiest to convince. ;)
  

Any other ideas?

Ok, ok, so that's foolishness, but don't forget the detail/fact I pointed out of how I can make no sense of work? Right...so yes, so far my conclusion is sex - what do you think? :P

(Yes, I know! - I realize I'm going to regret this...gulps. HA!)
