So the Bridal Shower is coming up, 24 days to be exact. Lots to do. Cake is already orders, prizes already purchased. Place already booked (seeing as it is at the house) LOL. Now we just need everything else. I'm gonna see if i can go get the decorations and plates & cups on Friday.

Things seem to be whooshing by so quickly, I'm not sure if i can keep up. :(
I am however, looking forward to April 17th. I get to look all prettiful and I'm not even the BRIDE! I know my sister will look gorgeous! she always does, of course with a little help with make-up and what not :D

One more year and i will be out of COLLEGE!!! Yes. Not sure where i will go. But anywhere but here. Pudge, Chiquita, Erin and I will be outta here! whoa....three pets, i must be crazy.

Lots of new things to do. I can't wait!

Till next time..

Highway to Hell......

Do you ever have that dream, when your all alone on a dark road? I've been having it a lot lately. Its just me, alone, dark not a star in the sky. But you can see the yellow lines on the road so clearly, like a light is shiny on it, but yet, there isn't a source of light anywhere. Then I look up, and numbers start coming at me on both sides. Significant numbers of course, the cost of the cake, the cost of the gifts, my shoes, my wrap, gas for when Jess leaves, etc. I'm scared that i can't do it on my own. Then suddenly its a flash a white. Then the END. Maybe its the same light i see every time i close my eyes just before i go to sleep.

I think it might mean that i need some kind of support. I think i can budget. The only really high expense is the cake, and yes i know i don't have to pay that much (my mom has made that very clear). But come on, its my sister. I don't want a plain old sheet cake. Its a tier cake. Never had one.

I just got to budget right. Make a list of things I NEED!!! and some money aside for "Alice in Wonderland" 3D.

I think i can do it. I know i can.

Jessica says.....

I have a twisted-dark-messed up sister!!! Its true! Don't Believe me??? Wait until you read what i have to say.

The day was February 12, 2010, I received a text from my sister that Randy Perez was on the news. And of course i was curious. When i asked why, she replied that he was arrested. Again i asked why. "Involuntary murder" was her reply. So i was shocked. She then began telling me the story, that some dude was trying to break into Randy's car and Randy came out and stabbed him with a knife, and the dude died. Ok, i was freaking out by that time. "JUST KIDDING!!" is what she said. KIDDING?!?!?! That isn't a very funny joke :(

But seriously he was on the news. I will attach the link so you can read what really happened! Jessica = EVIL!!! The baker was right, she is the evil twin!

Just call me Ebenezer Scrooge...

So Alas Valentine's Day is almost here. and all i can say is "Bah! humbug!" In the lab i can hear guys talking about what they are gonna get their girlfriends. A bracelet, necklace, chocolate, etc. I'm not sure if its being single that's getting to me. I mean come on, I've been single before. No big deal. But not once can i think of a good valentine's day. The first boyfriend, i would rather not remember. The valentine's day after that, it was with friends, but still couldn't help but feel like a third wheel. The next, my boyfriend thought it would be sweet to ignore me the entire day then take me to dinner. Nice huh. After that my boyfriend was away in college and couldn't come down, so i spent my V-day with my sister and her fiance. Again third wheel. I mean i love my Sister & Danny, nothing could help that feeling. The most recent one i don't even remember. Must have not been that good. I'm not writing this to feel sorry for myself, i need to vent my feelings. What someone is all lovey-dovey one day then the next its back to fighting. What the Hell is that all about!! Right now all i feel like listening to is Pat Benatar or Joan Jett. Now there are two individual women who hold their ground.

This Valentine's day:
I won't feel sorry for myself.
I won't regret ending a relationship (that i was sick of)
I won't settle
I won't cry
I won't hold a grudge
I will be me.

Jessica says.....

So yesterday we were watching American Idol: Hollywood week! Tonight was groups. And one particular guy that stands out is "Big Mike," who was a soon to be father. I'm not sure what i said but Jessica starting asking me "Well how would you feel if...." then all of sudden she stopped and said "WAIT! you can't." apparently she was about to say "Well how would you feel if you couldn't be there for your child's birth." ALAS she realized that i was girl, and had no choice to be there. LOL. so you've heard of saying "Think before you speak"....well in this case Jess was thinking while she spoke. LOL :D

Stay tuned for next time!

A little "to do" before the "I do's"

As of today, the Bridal shower for my sister, Jessica, is only 38 days away. Lots to do.....

First of all need a place to hold the party, CHECK. Guest List, CHECK. Game ideas, CHECK. Oh what about invitations!!! J/K CHECK :D

Yesterday we put in an order in for Danny & Jessica's Wedding cake and also her bridal shower cake. Jess want to coordinate the colors of the invites with the cake. but while explaining the colors to the cake designer, she said the colors would look too much like a cake for a baby shower. so we agreed on Pink, black, Ivory, and a light brown. So much to do, so little time.

We decided to buy a cake to bring home, first with was gonna be an almond flavor bunt cake. However, we decided to try the flavor i ordered for the bridal shower. An almond strawberry swirl cake with a butter cream frosting. I will tell you one thing, Its DELICIOUS!!!!

Sisterly love...

For those of you who know me and my sister, you definitely see a resemblance between the two of us. Ever since we came to being around the same height, people have confused us for twins. Which I'm not sure if its good or bad for Jess. Seeing as she is two years older than me. I'm pretty sure when she is older, being called my twin will be a good thing, because they will think she is younger. now?? I'm not so sure. Well any hoot, we have been called twins by a drunk lady at the bowling alley, strangers from stores, the florist, and the cake guy @ "Sweet & Tasty." Will it ever end!!! I think not.

We even think alike. I know .....strange. But after coming home from a long day of shopping for the bridal shower. While driving on Salinas we realized that they moved the "Little Redskin Raspa stand." (Not very sure of the name) ANYWAYS! we both pointed at the new placement of the stand, then turned to look back at its old place, then back to where it is now. AT THE SAME TIME!!! Just when i thought it was already weird. LOL

However we are a dangerous duo, when playing "Taboo" together. SO watch out!

Jessica Says.....

So....recently I've realized that i have a very odd sister. LOL and she suggested that i write a blog about all the weird stuff she does.

Ok about a week and half ago while driving back home, she asks "it's weird how toasters work, right. I mean think about it. It's like a microwave, but it comes out toasted like an oven." SEE!!! weird, right??? And today at dinner, i told her that her daisies were getting mold. So she cuts the mold off and now the flowers are too short to reach the water in the vase. So she starts putting them in her hair. And she started making the funniest face to try to see herself in the mirror. And right now, she started talking to the DOG!! And if you knew my sister, then you would realize that its not so weird. But the things she says to them. Like to Pudge, she told him that he only needs to worry when the light is on (she has a fetish of picking fleas off the dogs). And she is drinking her margarita, and off course the the dogs are curious. She tells them no, that she had a bad experience with the other dog that had liquor. Apparently when Bonnie was with us (may she rest in peace) my mother decided to give her some wine. And bonnie turned into a mean dog, demanding more!. LOL

i hope to continue this new topic about what "Jessica says..."

wish me luck :D

71 days til the BIG DAy!! (Mr & Mrs. Daniel Hilton)
43 days til the Bridal Shower!!

Accounting.....

Hmmm, was it only yesterday that numbers were so much fun. When i enjoyed math so much! now its just accounting accounting accounting. Oh joy! However, there are some glimpses that i get that reminds me of what actually intrigued me about Accounting. I have this Excel project for Accounting Info. Systems, which i actually enjoyed doing. Especially since it was done in class. However i didn't let Young do all the work. A lot of the time i was ahead, because he had to answer some of the STUPID questions from the other students. I'm 19 years old, and I'm a senior, majoring in Accounting. I must be insane!!

Don't you agree???

Numbers, Numbers, and boy on my mind :D

Numbers keep going through my head, like cars passing by on the expressway. So much things to do, and so little time. There is still the bridal shower, and i want it to be special for my sister. Since these financial troubles have been really hard on everyone. I'm actually considering asking my mom for money. No! not from her, but from a loan company. I'm gonna get money back from the tax refund. Thanks to my dad. But I'm totally scared that it will come in late. And the bridal shower is in MARCH!!! I still need to buy my shoes for my bridesmaid dress. And pay to get my hair and make-up done. I really want to enjoy this wedding. Even if i am the MOH! I'm an over achiever after all, which may come in handy.

Ok, update about the boy in my life. Things have slowed down a bit. Still contemplating if its a good thing or not. I just hope things happen before the wedding, since he is the MVP :D. LOL. Or even after. I'm not really picky. Whats funny is that i can't help but keep out these two Chinese fortunes out of my head. From P.F. Changs "You will meet your true love unexpectedly," and from Lotus Inn's place mat for the HORSE "You will marry early". It just seems totally odd. I can't really do anything about it. Must wait i shall. and i will :D

another cake tasting, and looking at tuxes this weekend.

72 days till Wedding DAY!

Nothing New (i think)

My life hasn't been particularly interesting. Kinda boring. Wake up, go to school, come home and watch some tube, go to sleep, and REPEAT. Saturdays are a little better, especially with the wedding day coming up from around the corner. I had been HOPING to start a new relationship, however, things haven't been going that great. We agreed to get to know each other, but things.....slowed down a lot. I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not. I feel like I've fallen HARD!, he was already a close friend. I suppose i just have to patient. I'm in no rush anyways.

This past Saturday was fun! especially the morning were ALAS we got to play racquetball. (With Jessica [my sister], Danny [my future brother-in-law], and myself). I got hit, Jess got hit, and i LOST!!! But hey! i had fun. Hopefully we get to do it more often.

We had cake tasting last week (Thursday), and Jess didn't give a preference on what flavor so they brought us their most popular three. And from those three Jess and I agreed on a flavor. Its not too overpowering as the chocolate, and not too plain like the vanilla. It was an Almond flavor with butter cream frosting.

You may be asking, why isn't the groom doing this with the bride? well.....Danny works 2 jobs! And hardly has any free time. That is where I step in, being the M.O.H, (for those who are not wedding literate) Maid Of Honor, and all.

One particular thing I'm dreading, dreading, dreading. Is having my ex as the best man. I really thought Danny would've been like "OK, maybe my brother should be the best man". Since seeing as the current best man couldn't give two figs about the wedding. Must put on a smile for my sister and Danny. Any who, its only for two minutes total (i think), walking up the aisle after the wedding, and the reception. After that, FAMILY TIME!!! :D


74 days til Jess becomes "Mrs. Jessica R. Hilton." :D
