Formal Good-Bye
Went to a movie this weekend. The movie started out really funny and now days I find myself laughing more which I really like. I still take things way to seriously but I've excepted that part of myself and honestly I love it. Anyway I diverge! The movie was about a long distance relationship and the good and bad aspects of them. Having been in one I can really relate to the trials perpetrated in the movie.
I never thought I would be in a long distance relationship. I never believed in them and I never thought I would allow myself to go through one. And my worst fears of long distance were true. I know a lot of my issues are with trust. I don't trust and if I allow myself to open up and trust you it really means something. Also, if I allow myself to trust you and you do anything to lose that trust you will never get it again. I know this isn't the way a person should be. Forgive and forget and all that. What I say to that is Bull Shit! That just makes you look like an idiot when you allow the same thing to happen to you over and over and over again! Is this something I need to work on? I don't know. Maybe one day I will be enlightened enough to move past and truly forgive and forget. MAYBE! :)
I did very well in the movie and didn't think too much about the failure of my previous relationship. It has been a year and a half since I have spoken with him and I fell I have grown and moved on from that relationship. But at the same time I couldn't help myself but to think of the things that I went through while watching the movie and I couldn't help but think of him. I couldn't help but to wonder what he was doing and who he was with. But most of all I really just hoped he was happy. The only time in the movie that I really got a little sad was when they decided to call the relationship off. She took him to the airport, sat down, and said, "I thought we had something special," and he said, "We did have something special."
This brought me back to that point in my previous relationship when I knew it was over. When I knew I had lost my first true love. When I finally began to wonder if I would ever feel that way or the same way about someone again. I finally realized I just wanted to know if he felt the same way too. Did we have something special? Were my feelings real? Will I ever fell that way about someone again?
I know the answer to all these questions is YES. I loved him with all my heart. I know he felt the same way about me that I did for him. I know that one day I will find the true love of my life and it will be so much more amazing then what I ever thought we had. But most importantly I know we had something special and that something special was good and it meant something good!
So this is my formal good-bye to him! I miss him so very much but I know we had something good and I know one day I will find 'the one.' I know he will always be apart of my heart and apart of my life but only with good memories and life experiences learned. "I thought we had something good?" "We did have something good!"

CONFESSION: MY OBSESSION
I'm not much of a reality TV watcher except for when it comes to the Real Housewives of NJ. OMG I love that show! I'm hooked. I'm so sad this season is over. The only good thing about the season being over is the reunion shows and I don't have to listen to Danielle!!! That's right I said shows. They can't fit all the drama and Danielle bashing into one show. I started watching Part I of the reunion this morning and I had to stop myself before the first commercial. I couldn't watch it by myself. I had to share the joy and drama with someone. So I took a deep breath and waited until I was with my mother! It was well worth the wait!
While waiting I found myself contemplating this question? If I was on a reality show such as this which housewife would I be; Jacqueline, Theresa, Caroline, or Danielle? After not so much time into the show the answer was there. I'm definitely a mixture of two people. Can you guess it? Okay I'll tell you Theresa and Caroline a.k.a Theroline!!! Just like Caroline I either like you or I don't. If I like you it won't be long until I love you. You become my family and I would do anything for you. If I don't like you you will know it cause I won't waste my time on you. I'm not saying you will be my worst enemy like Danielle but you won't mean much to me. I'll use my words to make you look like the dumb-ass that you are. But this is where the Theresa part of me comes into play. I'll use my words until you piss me off enough that I have to get in your face. I'll make you run away with your tail between your legs like the dog you are. Strength you never thought possible will occur and you'll be amazed at the terror you will feel. If you haven't seen part1 I recommend watching it and don't forget Part 2 comes on Monday!!! OOOOOO I can't wait.

Highs and Lows
First let me remind everyone if you don't know the meaning of a word please look it up. You can either grab a dictionary or you can go high tech and google a word. For those lazy people in the world I'll do the leg work for you (like always). MANDATORY: authoritativly ordered; obligatory; compulsory. I know your originally forgot the "mandatory" program cabinet meeting, but when you are reminded of it, in front of multiple people, what will your excuse be for not attending said meeting? Also there is such a thing as alarms and reminders on your phone so you don't forget you have a mtg Friday morning at 9am. I know it's hard for you to get up before 9 to be downtown when you can not get into work before 10:30 when you work less than 2 miles from your home. Granted the meeting was a waste of time and gas but when you're told to be somewhere be there.
But luckily that is not how my Friday ended!
Playing Volleyball I saw your friend. Your friend and I really didn't talk, but it's not your friend I ever really want to talk to is it? If I had not already known you were in the building your friend made it obvious to me you were. I was hoping you would come into the gym to see me. Seeing you while around others always makes me so nervous and I forget to do what I'm supposed to. You didn't disapoint! You came into the gym with that damn towel on your head, "MARCELINA!?" You said my name not just once but multiple times. Talking to me while I'm trying to play volleyball (your such a wonderful distraction)! Cheering me on when I make good plays, joshing me when I mess up! Several asking why I was so distracted and asking if it was you. I'm sure I blushed and they knew the truth. Being introduced to a friends mother you gave that million dollar smile I like so much. I'm told your handsome but of course I already know this! Your were the perfect ending to a day that started rather shitty. Needless to say you made my day!

I'm back
I, Marcelina de la Cruz, promise to be a better blogger and blog more than once every five months.
This is my promise and hopefully I don't break it AGAIN!
I haven't blogged since the begining of summer and nothing has really happened in my life worth posting but, if I'm going to full fill my promise I must start getting creative and blog, blog, blog.
So the only real fun thing I did this summer was going on a camping trip with my friend Tina and her fiance. We went to a little cabin in Southeastern OK. I never really thought I could have such a good time sitting around doing nothing but reading a book. It was so nice to get away from work and drama in my life. My phone still worked but it was more of an option to answer the phone then a "have to" and seeing as everyone knew I was out of town they left me alone. When Tina originally asked me if I want to go camping with her and her fiance I said, "ya I would love to," but at the same time was a little thrown because if you know Tina you know she doesn't camp. I was thinking more of the traditional pitch a tent and throw down your sleeping bag camping and she was talking about renting a cabin camping! I'm so glad I did it. It was so much fun!

Ya I know funny name for a place but it was so beautiful! It was totally worth the 3 hr drive with my knees all cramped up in the back seat, trying not to get car sick, and the cutest little puppy crawling all over my pillow! I totally want to go back to Peckerwood Knob, but maybe in the fall when the leaves are changing colors and it's nice enough to sit, and maybe even sleep the night, on the deck!
Maybe next time I will see a bear!

Dearest You
I wish I could give you some of my memories and experiences. I wonder what life would be like if you were older and I was younger. Would I make the same choices if our roles were reversed? What kind of a person would you be if you had to live through the things I did? I would never wish that on anyone but sometimes I think you would make completely different choices in life if you had experienced what I did. There is no reason for you to have to experience such difficult dilemmas and grow up so fast because the adults around you are still acting like teenagers, but it seems to me you are doing the same thing at a much younger age, growing up to fast, and trying to go through life much faster than you really have to.
Your pain causes pain for the individuals who love you so very much! When I see you upset and crying due to the choices and decisions of others my heart goes out to you. The tears streaming down my face are for you and the pain you're feeling. But as much as I love you it frustrates me that the only time you show emotion and get upset is when someone does something stupid and it's not the first time they have done this to you. You keep going back to them and you still call them a friend even though they cause you such pain. Look around and notice all the pain they are causing. Not just to you a friend but their family.
Be a true friend but people can only cause you so much pain before you have to think of yourself and do what's best for you. How many times are you going to let people use you and walk all over you? Sometimes you have to let people fall on their face and hopefully they will pick themselves up and be the better for it. But also know this, which I know from experience, most of the time people fall and hit bottom and they stay there. They never learn from their mistakes and they don't see, or don't want to see, the damage and destruction they cause on their way to the black hole of addiction. Don't let them bring you down with them. You're a better person and have so much potential!
Dearest you I love you with all my heart. I wish you the best and hope you realize I'm always here for you. I don't understand your unending love for some people but maybe that's one of the qualities I love about you so very much. I see your tears and I acknowledge them for true pain and the love of one friend for another.

Mind or Body
Yesterday I was taking care of Dorothy. For the most part I enjoy my time there and I usually get tons of personal stuff done while working. For whatever reason (I think due to her medications) she spends most of the time sleeping. I was under the impression this little issue was fixed but not for my time there! The lady who I came in for had not gotten her up to eat breakfast or take her morning pills. Mind you she is to take her evening and morning pills 12 hrs apart. Well Dorothy didn't get any breakfast or morning pills until 12 when I got her up to do all of this which means she will not, or at least she should not get her evening pills until midnight, can we say off the schedule? So Dorothy basically slept from 12:45 till 6 straight thru until I had to wake her up to put a patch on her. It really makes me sad to see her with no energy and just really out of it, let me share a couple of stories.
Story 1
About a year and a half ago Dorothy was doing very well and for the most part her Alzheimer's only kicked in every once in a while, and there were more good days then bad ones. She had spent most of the day relaxing alternately talking to me, napping, and watching TV. Out of the blue she looks around and thinks she is on an airplane. We spent two hours going thru suit cases, walking around the house trying to find the way off the plane, and trying to stuff a huge blanket into a tiny little suit case. Please don't think I just let her go around acting out and doing all these weird things I tried so hard to get her mind off of this whole airplane thing but it just was not working. Then on our way to the front door the hundredth time she turns around and looks at me and says we're not on an airplane are we? No Dorothy we are not. At this time she thinks she is a nut case and keeps apologizing. She helps me make dinner, get ready for bed, and the rest of the night is fine.
Story 2
We were told to let Dorothy know when she began asking for her family to let her know the ones that were deceased and the ones that were living. Of course she only asked for the deceased ones. For the longest time I refused to tell her her father, husband, and son were all deceased. But she had gotten into a really bad mood and I thought ok today's the day we're going to try this. She asked for her son and I looked at her and told her he passed away several years ago. She didn't believe me but when I showed her the list of family members and their date of death she just looked at me. Tears began streaming down her face and I felt like the biggest douche bag ever. Why did I even try this method? I knew it would not work! Dorothy cried for 4 hours. The saddest thing was the fact that I could not help her with her sorrow. I'm not a mother I have no idea what it would be like to have a child much less having to go to your child's funeral. All I could do was watch her cry, hold her hand, and think I'm such a heartless person because I didn't cry at all. And all she could say was what is wrong with me!? How could I forget that my only son died?
The whole point of this is in regards to the question that was raised Saturday at work, would we rather live with a healthy body and deteriorating mind or deteriorating body but healthy mind. If I really had a choice I would choose for my body to go before my mind. My family would still have to take care of me but at least I would be able to enjoy the last remaining years with them. I would know who they are and be able to share stories and memories before I go.

I told you so
How many times a day does one think 'I told you so?' Let me tell you the most recent time I wanted to tell someone this.
So towel service!! Yea, I'm so excited. No more running around worrying about if we will have enough for the day or not, no more trying to organize the laundry room every hour to make more room for more towels we can not do anything about. But my dreams were quickly washed away with the perpetual rains that seem to never end.
Monday the towel service came to give us the bags to collect the towels which they will be picking up Tuesdays and Fridays (originally then changed the very next day to Monday and Thursday, I'm already confused). But the biggest concern us the fact that they would be taking towels without bring some in the first day which would then in turn leave us with out towels because we would not be getting some from them and because we are not to be washing towels. Right? I mean that is the whole purpose of the towel service, right? Maybe that's just my thinking. But I don't have a college degree so maybe I'm not smart enough to do simple math. So I asked if we could not order a bunch so we would always have towels in the building even when they come and get the dirty ones. The answer to that was no we will continue to wash towels. So it's ok to waste money on soap, bleach, water, and electricity and pay someone else to do towels. You can save that money and put on my paycheck I'm definitely okay with that.
So Tuesday I'm thinking about the whole towel thing and I bring my concerns to my lovely boss. He says no its alright we will just continue to wash and dry towels and have the towel service to the ones we don't get to. What? Then whats the point of paying them to do towels for us! Ok that's fine. Wednesday the towel service comes out (wait that's not the day they are to come out right, or maybe I'm just even more confused) and brings us towels. Are the towels Dry? NOOOOOOO! I'm not going to ok them dropping them off but my boss does. So before we can put those out what do we have to do DRY THEM. OMG are you kidding me. So he says we are to use all the towels they bring out then wash towels if we have to. Night shift uses all the towels, that's the point of having the towel service, leaving the morning shift without towels. I get a phone call in the morning asking why didn't the night shift do towels. They did, they picked up dirty ones and bagged them. Ya but they didn't wash and dry any so now we only have the ones left over from what the towel people didn't pick up, which is almost non.
OMG is this not what I told him on Monday. I mean I specifically recall illustrating this exact situation to him over the phone. The exact one! The sad thing with him is he only listens to certain people that work there and the rest just have to let him fall on his face for him to get what is going on. But then I'm the one at fault and the one not doing the job! Whatever......
I TOLD YOU SO!!!

Monday
So I'm trying to make this a habit of everyday, I don't know how well this will work but I'm gonna try! I'm a little disappointed in myself. I'm a little lazy and as much as I try to make myself motivated and determined to do something I don't always do it. For example I told myself that I was going to go work out and just because the parking lot was full when I went to the gym I made this glorious excuse in my mind about how I can't go in because all the machines would be taken. Really, cause I couldn't have found something else to do? So tomorrow morning I'm gonna go work out I mean it (I hope:)
Why do people feel the need to talk about others behind their back. Me I'm the type of person if I don't like you I won't talk to you very much and I will not go out of my way to make you apart of my life. So I really don't understand someones desire to make friends and then do nothing but talk about them and loath them. Why are they waisting their time and that persons time. So many hurt feelings and so much unnecessary drama. I absolutly hate drama but it always seems to find me! Oh well nothing I can do but keep my nose clean and be there to listen to my friends.

Trip to Tulsa
So annualy we (the family) take a one day trip to Tulsa. I effing love Tulsa. If I knew I had a job and a place to live I would move there in a day, that would be the fastest packing job anyone has ever seen! Anyway the day started way to early for me and of course it was raining so my hair was an afro ball again.
With my bro living on his own we don't get to talk as much so the ride was pretty much awesome. I got caught up on all his girl drama, by the way armando dump her she aint no good, and it was tons of fun! We are finally getting to that point in our relationship where we are brother and sister, and as much as I didn't think I would like it I honestly really do! It's such a good change for me and it has really helped me come to a place in my life where I can be myself and do my own thing and not worry about him and always trying to take care of everything! I love it. 'Mommy look, I'm finally growing up!'

Have I mentioned yet that I absolutly love Tulsa? Well if I forgot I LOVE TULSA!! After we spent hours at the museum we went to an Irish pub/resturant. It was totally awesome on the inside seeing as it is actually from Ireland. I think it would have been a lot better if I drank but it was good. I enjoyed the area and if it would not have been raining I would have walked up and down the block looking at all the stores/shops near by. Very interesting!

And finally one of the most interesting pictures from the day, don't worry Randi this is not my 365 picture I'm waiting to upload those for when we have our blog tutorial :). I saw these shoes in a window just down the block from Kilkennys. They are so funny I just wonder if they really did this on their own or if human hands helped? Oh well they're funny non the less!

Tulsa, I'll be back soon, when the sun is shining and I have time to look at all the shops!

Typically we go to the Tulsa Zoo but with the rain the past two days we decided not to waste the money on animals that would not be out! We took a little detour to the Thomas Gilcrease Museum. The grounds were beautiful! And I got to bring out my 'soccer mom' camera and take pictures! The azelas were still in bloom which I thought with all the rain they would have turned green and fallen off already but to my wonderful delight they were not! The tulips were still out and they did such a great job mixing and matching the colors. Simply beautiful.

Day 1: Training
I spent my whole day in training! Great fun!! Rule number one when I go to any kind of training that was mandatory don't put toys on the table, I will play. The room was big with 5 white tables all with playdoh, chinese yo-yos, and markers ling out. The room was freezing (mental note: take a sweat shirt tomorrow). Rule number two, instructor are you listening (?), don't hover over my shoulder with your little judgmental gestures and thoughts and still expect me to want to participate (remember I didn't want to be here to begin with and this isn't helping). And finally rule number three, don't tell me we are going to lunch at 11:30 but really keep us in training until 1. What are you kidding me!!?
Summary: toys plus over barring instructor plus hunger equals one distracted and grumpy non-learner!
And the best part I get to do it all over again tomorrow!
