Friday Friday Friday... *salsa dance*

Today is Friday... Yay! We get off at 2 today because it is a holiday coming up... MLK JR day on Monday, which I have off. Yea baby! I am so glad.

I spent a little time reading Black Rose last night but not much. I was listening to some Daddy Yankee last night and my son Christopher was excited because he absolutely loves to dance, especially to Latin/Reggaeton music. He LOVES the song Gasolina by Daddy Yankeee. SO I decided to film him doing his very interesting dance with my flip video camera. It came out a little dark but you can still see him. He wanted me to put it on YouTube, so I did.



Isn't he just a ham and a half?!

I find it interesting when people at work, most of them mexican or hispanic, realize that I am also hispanic... as if they never knew. I guess I do not look hispanic enough? Hispanics come in all shapes, colors and sizes. I am puerto rican from my father's side of the family. I am very proud of my heritage... VERY... and it is a big part of my life to share that with my children. Thus they love Latin music. My oldest son is learning spanish and taking a huge interest in the language and it makes me proud. I guess I wish I looked MORE hispanic so people would not be so shocked to find it out. I do wish I spoke more spanish. Being in south Texas.. well spanish speaking is a huge plus. I wish I had retained more as a kid. O well.. Having blonde hair, blue-eyed kids I get constant questioning looks at the schools when I say my kids are hispanic... "Are you sure you filled this out right?", they ask. RME No I just like to think they are hispanic...

Anyway, plans for this weekend are pretty much in the air... I have some web design work to do for my friend Bill's business. So behind on my freelance work. I want to get my hair done, manicure/pedicure, facial.. the works... and shoe/clothes shopping... if I can swing it. I guess everything depends on whether or not the kids are coming over this weekend. The Ex keeps informing Ashley that this and this are options for whatever reason but she has yet to talk to Brian about it all... The kids are NOT messengers for crying out loud. It is such a pet peeve of mine. Ok I'm done... Have a great friday!
