My Birthday!

Today is my birthday! Yes the 26th of December. when most, well all people hear that my birthday falls the day after Christmas they get a sad look on their face and say "that sucks! You must be jipped on your gifts. People give you one gift for both days!" "No....", I reply, "I get one gift for Christmas and one gift for my birthday." Granted a few girlfriends have wrapped my birthday gift in Christmas wrap (just don't tell mom). I don't mind my birthday, granted I had no control over that. I let people know that they are two separate days, one is Jesus' day and the next is my day.
So this morning I was expecting to wake at 6am from my dad shaking me in bed yelling "Happy Birthday!" but that didn't happen. Instead I woke on my own at 7:30 and received a text from Monica saying happy birthday. At 8:15 Jason called me and said Happy Birthday then sang happy birthday! How cute is he! He had a urge to call me at midnight, which I would not have mind cause me phone was off. We went to breakfast as a family, a new tradition we started last year, and at the end of the meal Candice says "this will be the last year we go out to breakfast as a family cause Cassandra will be married next year." WHAT!? This was news to me! Then she says "You'll be pregnant" and Greg chimes in "with twins"! Where are my siblings getting their information from? Why does everyone think we'll be married by next year and not just one person (Heather!) but my Aunt said that we'd be married in the summer! Um, I didn't get an engagement ring for Christmas peeps so....calm down. Maybe next year....

Surprises

These are the random surprises that happened to me in the past 48 hours:
1. found a $20 bill on the ground walking to Mervyns ( and this wasn't the 1st time)
2. received a present from one of Jason's small group girls (thanks Megan!)
3. my big brother Aaron loves my boyfriend! (he wants a female version of him)
4. the 3 couples got together for the first time at the Ott's house Thursday



I L-O-V-E, love surprises!

Shondra

Have you ever had someone pronounce your name wrong or call you a different name?
There is a lady in the office who thinks my name is Shondra. No joke! I can see how you can maybe, sometimes, could get Shondra out of Cassandra but I've never heard that before. I get Sandra a lot but I correct them when they pronounce my name. If they spell it wrong on a Starbucks cup I don't care, as long as they don't mess up my drink. So Thursday I wore my name badge and she came in the cafe. I didn't interact with her and we didn't say hello to each other so I am not sure if she read my name badge or not.... She did see me... I will now wear the badge from now on and see what happens. (as the story develops tune in here)

Currently..

making 6 banana breads! Why you ask. Because I brought home a TON of bananas that need to be eaten today. So I'm "Suzie Homemaker" tonight.

Funniest thing of the day: (or should I say stupidest)
Alex ate (after he told me to dare him) a garlic clove. Booger ate the whole thing! He even swallowed it, almost spitting it out but realized he had to do it cause he's crazy! I then gave him a stick of gum cause the pineapple he ate after the garlic didn't mask his awful breath.
Geez! Crazy boy....

Yellow Butterflies

For the past month I've seen yellow butterflies on the Saddleback campus. Does anyone else see them? I see them EVERY DAY! I think its my good luck sign from God, or at least a beautiful "Hello" from Him.
This is what my next tattoo will be...

Our kids

I saw these while looking in the Halloween ad and I couldn't resist labeling them.

Candice's baby (but of course a little darker):


Monica's baby is on the left (chubs!)
and my baby is one the right:

Say what!?

So I'm sure you've heard of Threadless, or know someone who has and shops there, well there is a new site Monica introduced me to. This website sells t-shirts with different sayings on them. They are hilarious! Mom and I were rolling when we read them, trying to keep our laughter down, because we were in the office. Here are some of my favorites:








This reminded me of Brian:



Monica has this shirt and I want it:

The beautiful sky



If you don't this, I work at the Terrace Cafe. Its on the third story and outdoors. While working this past Saturday evening, I stop and notice the sunset in front of me. It's starting to set and I see the sun captured between the purple and pink trimmed, puffy clouds and tall green trees. Behind me the full moon peeks out among plump rain clouds ready to release. Its a beautiful sight. I notice attenders and members viewing the scenery mesmerized by its beauty.
Any chance you get, whether a weekend or weekday night, you must walk up to the Terrace and view the sunset. It is B-E-A-utiful!

I'm going to miss her demon-possessed car

My sister bought a car! Its a nautical blue 2008 Scion XB. Its the 2006 toaster but not so toaster looking. It looks like an SUV toaster. Its not supped up but she plans on getting hydraulics soon. J/K She plans on getting upgraded hubcaps (pimped style like), a navigation system and maybe a spoiler, just for looks of course.
She bought it Sunday and didn't tell me what it was. She wanted to surprise me. When I drove up that evening I thought it was Greg's car. I could not believe she bought it cause she wanted a CR-V.
So happy for her. That demon-possessed car needed to go. I will miss it though. The way it sporadically made the lock-unlock noise for 3 minutes after you open the car door. The way you couldn't open the left back door from the inside cause I broke it. The way the car would sometimes unlock when you pulled on the handle from the outside. How she couldn't buckle her seatbelt and instead had to use the passengers seatbelt buckle. Ah...memories.

I'm SO glad she bought a new car.

BOOYA


So i was driving down the street where this elf on the corner started screaming at us.
He was yelling at us the terrorist shall avenge his mother. I yelled at him your mom is an old hag and threw some beans at him. They were squishy and he called them his squishies. He then gave me change for a dollar, I thanked him but he spit on me on the way out.

So we kept driving down the road and got hungry and decided go over to Pedros house cause he always has change in his sofa. After stealing Pedro's change and a french fry we broke for the border. Holly was hungry for Twinkies, but I needed toilet paper bad! So we stopped and the nearest Albertacos, but they ran out, so then we stopped at the nearest elementary school stole there Popsicles, but traded them the fry for some tp.

Anyway this adventure ends and will continue later...Die All Elves around the world. I shall triumph over your world domination! VIVA LA TP

I broke into this girls account and started blogging. She had no idea what happened

Food fight!


Lets just say that I was with 2 friends and all of a sudden we started throwing rolls, pasta salad, fruit and pastries at eat other in public at the food court! Geez! I loved it I wanted to get smothered but we had to end it once we started getting stared at. So funny! I recommend everyone get into a food fight and if your need someone to throw give me a call!

What a night!


Headed to Disney with my sister, Monica, Heather, Debra, Daisha, and Marissa last night. Went on all the major attractions; Big thunder (twice!), Pirates, Indiana, Space Mountain, and Matterhorn. We even hit Tarzan's Tree house! Cute but minimal excitement for the eye. It offered a great view of the park from above. We had fun taking photos and chatting with old friends, but the best part was watching the entire fireworks show on Main Street. We stood to the right of Cinderellas castle and saw all the fireworks as well as heard the story. I've never done that before and I've always wanted to. SO excited we did!

We walked into pirates and one of the characters thought he'd be cute and take Candice's charm off her purse. She didn't realized it but noticed only when I told her. She reluctantly went back to the short, male, 19-year old, bottle-cap wearing pirate and tried to get her charm back. She had to reach around him, "you trying to get fresh?" and yank it out of his hand. People in line couldn't believe he did that, "You get his number?". She came back to Monica and I thanking us for standing there and watching her. But that wasn't the only surprise of the night.

We left after the parked closed, climbed into Candice's car and started for home. That's when the trouble started. The car made a funny noise and moved 10 mph even though she put the pedal to the metal. We didn't even make it out of the Timon parking lot before we put the emergency lights on. Determined, and stubborn, she decided to see if it would make it out of the parking lot, it proceeded, she didn't stop for the sign and when we hit the first light to the main road she tried for the freeway. God was using his hand to push our car along cause neither of us knew how the car went from not running faster than 10mph to hitting 70 on the freeway. We almost had trouble when we had to slow down to merge. Candice kept on asking God for help and I kept holding my breath waiting for it to explode on us. When we exited the freeway we got a green light and charged ahead, thanking God numerous times for His help. But when we stopped at the corner of Trabuco, and that wasn't our first stop off the freeway, the car pooped out. It wouldn't move. It only rolled backwards. Then it started to smoke so I told her we needed to get out and admit defeat. She was happy she didn't have to pay for a tow from Disney.
So if you happened to see two chicks on the corner of Bake and Trabuco last night, why didn't you stop and help us out?! Luckily Dai and Mariss came by to take us home but poor Dai got a call from her boyfriend to pick him up at Fashion Island cause he didn't have a ride! So Candice is car shopping, poor thing and what sucks is that this isn't the first time it's happened. The first time was in the fast lane on the freeway to LA! Luckily we got a tow off the freeway and in the midst of waiting we waved to all the looky-loos on the opposite side of the freeway. Candice has pictures for proof!

What am I doing!



I needed directions for a coaches conference I'm driving to tomorrow, and I should be in bed cause I have to be up by 5:00am, but I'm looking at Myspace comments and Blogging. Crazy me! (But everyone knows that.) I feel like writing and not sleeping cause I could do SO much instead of sleep. You ever feel that way?

DODGERS!


If you know me at all I pride myself on being an LA kid. I grew up in LA but moved to the OC when I was 12. I'm 25 and I still call myself an LA chick. So when I went to Homegoods yesterday and saw Dodger merchandise, I had to buy it. I bought a Dodger memo pad, book cover and 4-pack of Dodger folders. I have them displayed at my desk if anyone cares to take a peek.
Don't get me wrong, I'll see an Angel game and root for them, I've rooted for the Mariners when I was in Safeco Park, but if it was anyone against the Dodgers who do you think I'd root for? Come on, really?

The start to a fabulous weekend!

I come home from work and I get the mail. Addressed to me are my credit card bill (yikes!), a Williams-Sonoma catalog and ESPN magazine. I love getting catalogs and this is my first of WS. I love to cook and last time I was in the store I decided to sign up on their mailing list. I wanted to buy so much! The cookie cutters and dessert molds, KitchenAid mixers, place mats, cooper cookware, decorating kits. I wanted to buy all of it! I'd love to have at least a week where I can cook everything and anything. Desserts, gourmet dishes, 50 different ways to make a quesadilla, anything, and then have a party every night to display my food. I love cooking and having people over.
My ESPN magazine, I'm not to excited about. I love sports but I'm not a football or basketball fan. I like hockey, baseball, tennis, swimming and water polo. I'll even watch soccer. Some of the stories are interesting but my mind wanders easily and sometimes I don't finish reading it. I love looking at the pictures at the front though. The random action shots that a photographer catches where its amazing they got that shot. You know what I mean?
Tonight I'm hangin' with the girls. You know what that means. I'm not coming home. ;)
Sunday is the Padres vs. Dodgers game in San Diego. I can't wait! I enjoyed watching the Mariners play at Safeco field and I've seen the outside of AT&T park but I'm interested to see Petco Park. (I'm trying to go to all the baseball fields in the USA. That may take a awhile...) Then its off to a friends house for a relaxing Labor Day. But I'm sure a ton of people will be there so lets see how relaxing it really is.

It was my first time!

In front of my house.
In my car.
I was so nervous but he was so good looking.


I got pulled over.
Sunday night.
11:30 pm
I saw him when I turned from Trabuco to El Toro on my way home. I wasn't speeding or driving crazy.
You want to know why he pulled me over?
My break light was out. Geez!
I turned into my street and I heard sirens then I saw his lights. I couldn't stop on the street before my house so I had to park in front of the neighbors house.
He asked for my license, registration and insurance. Then he asked if I've been pulled over before. 'NO'
"Do you have any illegal drugs, alcohol, dead bodies in your car?" (NO joke, he asked)
'No'
He let me me go after that. No ticket, clean record, except for a few parking tickets that are paid for.

Pandora

Aaron introduced me to a website called Pandora. Ever heard of it? You type in a band you like and the website picks other artists that sound similar. You are introduced to indie artists and big name artists.
I typed in Relient K as a "station", it played one song by them, next was By the Tree, then Cato Salsa Experience (who?), Simple Plan, Jimmy Eat World and on and on. After 4 hours of playing Pandora will stop and see if you are still listening. You can rate the songs and get info of the album as well as purchase the song or album from Amazon and iTunes. I'd compare it to playing the library in your iTunes but listening to artists you've never purchased or heard of. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Pride and Prejudice

is one of my favorite movies.
I love seeing Mr. Bingley and Jane stare at each other as the movie starts. They speak throughout the film but words sometimes are just that, words. A look can change everything. When she walks past him, his eyes follow her every move. It's cute when others in the room also notice your drifting eyes and comment on them (as Lizzy does. Or when that persons pupils magnify as soon as you speak to them.)
And their body language in the movie! Can't you tell! It is truly romantic. I have to confess I get girly and giggly watching the two. I enjoy seeing friends in love with their significant other. I enjoy couples, especially friends together. It makes me happy to see that they are happy. (Sometimes I try matchmaking and have had one success.)

Its amazing how, when two people like each other, the goofiness, messed up speech, awkward moments, sudden butterflies and the breath that gets caught in your chest arise. Then he confesses he loves her! Oh my! How will she react to this confession? Is it mutual? Then a proposal! They gradually get closer while bickering, then they look into each others eyes, then they look at each others lips...OH! The suspense of "Will they ever get together?!"

I love romantic movies.

The words spoken from Mr. Bingley are in circles. He is so taken with her beauty, he often makes ridiculous and confusing statements. But you can tell he likes her from his sheepish grin after every comment. Then there's Lizzy and Mr. Darcy. Its also captivating, the tension but likeness between them. The attitude Lizzy gives is comical and sarcastic. Hmmm... Sounds like someone...
I'm amazed at the rituals and customs that go on in those days. How you bow when you meet someone, the dance choreography is very structured but playful, how the men sit after the ladies are seated at a table and how a man stands each time a lady enters the room.

This movie captivates me each time I see it. And I love how Mr. Darcy walks. He commands attention, and walks with an assurance of himself. Then Mr. Bingley proposes! The excitement and joy that rises from each others face. I love when everything comes together in the end!

I love romantic movies.

This movie is filled with romance and love. Not sex but love. Don't get the two confused. Love needs to be felt and I don't mean sex. I mean a touch of the hand, a gentle kiss on the cheek, a stare from afar, foreheads touching, that's when you know its love.

Clouds

(I wrote this while flying to New Mexico. It was so random I had to post it.)

One thing I like very, very much are clouds. Flying above the clouds, I feel like I am in another world. White below me, blue sky above. I also love seeing the shadows clouds make on the ground from the airplane. They are cotton balls suspended in the air. They are harmless. You can spend hours looking at them from the ground and various characters are seen. They come in many shapes and sizes. Some are thick like marshmallow creme. Others are thin like stretched out cotton balls. Why is this?

What holds them up?
How far above the ground are they?
Why are they white?
Are they over the ocean?
What are clouds made of?
How come you can fly through them, yet they don't harm the plane or leave any trace of themselves?

Peaceful. Serene. Clean. Holy.

Random thoughts at work

So I work at a church and I see many people walk across my path. Different backgrounds, races, nationalities, etc. They are all unique but have one thing in common, they are loved by God. He says there are no two people alike and that is amazing. But that's why God is God and I am not.
So here are a couple of random thoughts that came to me as I was working, and still am, this weekend...


Saturday evening
You know your doing a great job at work when people want to leave you a tip even though there is no tip jar. Or maybe its because of my electrifying personality (Ha!) or my fabulous smile, which I did get complimented on. Either way, it made me feel good to know people want to tip me for basically being me.


Sunday morning
I didn't realize what a smile or a "good morning" can do to someones facial expression. I see a grumpy (or assume cause of the look on his face) older man, walking by himself and hunched over. I flash a warm, welcoming smile and say 'good morning'. His whole face lights up. He says good morning and a smile develops, and that smile stays on his face as he walks into service. Then I wonder, 'is that how he always looks or did he have something on his mind? or did I just make his day by saying hello?'
Ever notice that the simplest gestures, simple in your mind, make a difference in another person's world? Whether it be opening a door, or leaving the extra $4 from your coffee purchase to the next people, or even picking something up from off the ground that they dropped instead of looking at it and thinking 'did they notice they dropped that?' Whose life have you made an impact on today?



A few minutes ago
All morning I have kids run to my food cart peering over the top to see the assortment of donuts I have to sell. This one kid in particular was SO cute. This little Hispanic boy, his dark brown hair contained gel and was parted to the side, is on his tiptoes trying to look at the donuts but can't see them. His dad says he wants a glazed so I reach for it then place it in front of him. His eyes light up as it comes closer to him and I smile at his expression. The little things make a difference. Especially if its a donut to a toddler.
A few minutes later I get a light tap on my butt. I turn around, look down and I see a blond haired toddler look at me, made sure he had my attention, and pointed to a white frosted donut. How cute was he! Somehow he escaped dads vision, walked past the line, jolted behind the food cart and picked out a donut! Unfortunately dad didn't think it was as cute and I am sad to say he did not receive his donut. But what an effort!

Fabulous weekend!

What a great weekend! Its past my bedtime and I need to pack but instead O decide to blog cause its ADDICTING! Saturday was Fish Fest. I picked up Holly and we met Ashely and her mom there. It was hot! But luckily I didn't turn pink cause I wore sunscreen, unlike some crazy people who were lobsters all day.
We scoped out the vendors then headed to the main stage to hear Aaron Schust. Great kid! (Actually I don't know how old he is but I call everyone kid.) Then ran to the Edge Stage to hear NEEDTOBREATHE. They had a great stage performance. Cute kids, especially the lead singer, who sang Shine On. It was like that the whole day, running from one stage to another.
It was so stinking hot I decided to drive to 7-11 and buy water bottles, all in 15 minutes! We didn't miss a thing! When the sun started to set that's when all the fun began. We decided to listen to this band, Red, who are screamo, and I am not a fan of screamo music, but listening to them I thought of Jesse and how he may like this band. So later on in the evening, when the lead singer and the guitarist are standing in back of the crowd, I decide to buy the CD and rush over to have them sign it. I jet to the merch table, it took 5 minutes, which seemed like 20, for me to buy the CD and the whole time I'm on my tiptoes keeping an eye on the band members. I rush to where I last saw them, by this time Holly and Ashley are in on the chase, and they are gone. So for 10 minutes the 3 of us are searching the grounds for any of the band members. Luckily I got 3, out of the 5, to sign it . I missed the drummer and lead singer! We walk back to our seats, feeling a little defeated, but then perk up when we see MercyMe on stage.
You know what I love about concerts, you are encouraged, by the artist/band to act and be crazy. Jumping up and down, dancing, shouting and raising your hands to praise God are all encouraged. When was the last time you did that in church?! I am an animated person but when I'm in big church I feel like an outcast if I raise my hands or clap randomly during a song. I don't want that feeling! I'm worshipping God so what should I care what others around me think. They may even join in!

Sunday evening we celebrated Ashley's birthday. So much fun! I was so tired that I was goofy. I love when that happens! I don't mind people laughing at me, thinking I'm crazy, cause I am! Our waiter was hilarious! Brian says I almost made him cry but I think he was tougher than he looked. He almost back handed Brent for me so that made me like him even more.
Now I must pack and will receive minimal sleep because I decided to hang out late and blog. So excited for this week. I get to see my Aaron! White water rafting, cliff jumping, camping, hiking...I cannot wait!

Threadless

When I'm bored, basically neglecting my to-do list, I go on the computer and look at random websites. I love the Threadless website. My brother introduced us. It cracks me up to see some t-shirts that are made. Some are creative while others are ridiculous but all in all its a great outlet for artists. Here are a few of my favorites.

Bigge Was Right
(I like how a graph is used. You know, math applied in life...)



Poker hand values
Brents next shirt. Excellent choice! (I couldn't find the guitar shirt.)






Not sure about the name of this one. But its something along the line of Spoiler... (Harry Potter fans if you HAVE NOT read book 6, DO NOT read the shirt!)




Greetings from...
Now I would never wear this shirt but being Mexican I could get away with it. I do consider myself an LA chick and not an OC brat.




What would McGyver do?
I believe there is a book with this same title.





Emo Bear
Too cute! Can you imagine seeing this in Target on the shelf to purchase! You'll have all the emo kids in an uproar.

Creativity

I have a friend, who a year ago, wrote a poem about me. Now keep in mind he wasn't a boyfriend or a guy I was dating but a friend who liked me. At first I was shocked and a bit scared. I thought he was crazy to do something like that. But a year later I realize he was expressing how he was feeling the best way he knew how. Now he didn't use names but friends who read the blog could tell it was about me. How I can't be caught and how he can't keep me cause I wasn't meant to be caught but to fly free. I also have a friend who gave me three carnations, pink, white and red, for my birthday explaining his different levels of love for me. Even though flowers die, I still have that memory.

Wow. That was sweet. That was creative.

I was talking to a friend one night and we got on the subject of dating and what guys think girls want. He said guys think girls want expensive things, jewelry, fancy meals, etc. and yeah some do but some of us love the creativity that goes into a gift. A burned CD with my favorite songs, songs we love and songs that remind him of me is a gift I will cherish forever. That shows the guy put a lot of thought into this project and listens to my music choices: "Brown-eyed girl", "PYT", "Unforgettable"...
Whatever happened to being creative? Flowers are nice but how do I know you didn't pick them up on discount before you came to my house? But if they are my favorite flowers, given to me on a sporadic day with a note attached, now that's different. Creativity people! Creativity! You deserve brownie points for trying and if the girl doesn't appreciate it then she doesn't deserve your heart.

Harry Potter



What am I doing awake? I just got home from buying the 7th and final Harry Potter book! Saw the movie in IMAX format with Holly then we raced to Barnes and Nobles to wait in line with our "A" labeled wristbands. We saw Alex come out, eager to read the book, waited 15 more minutes then our line was let in! AH! I can't wait! What happens? Who dies? How does it go down between Harry and Voldemort? When will the next movie be out? Will Harry get back together with Ginny? AH!

Friday, July 20, 2007




I was online looking for the e-mail I received about the Relient K/Switchfoot tour dates, November 27 in Irvine, and decided to browse their websites as well. I came across this video. Two of my favorite things! Harry Potter and Switchfoot. I am disappointed they are playing one show in Southern California. Then its off to San Luis Obispo, San Jose, and Davis.

School Supplies

I LOVE school supplies! I think its the teacher inside of me that comes out. I love fresh notebook paper, erasers, crayons, markers, rulers, calculators (ok, now the math nerd is coming out), pencil sharpeners, even the smell of sharpened pencils, pens, colored paper, Post-its, highlighters, etc., etc. , etc. I also love backpacks, with their many compartments for a water bottle, calculator, pens, and now Ipods. Lunch boxes are cool too but no one uses them. I see a lot of Igloo lunch boxes but not the tin lunch boxes with pictures of your favorite superhero or cartoon character. Oh, and remember the Thermos that came with them! I have a Lego tin lunch box. I put my dry erase markers in it. :)

The Greatest Game Ever Played

I come home from running errands with mom, start laundry, turn on the t.v. and stop in the middle of The Greatest Game Ever Played. Have you seen it? I recommend it. As soon as you sit down and watch any 5 minutes of the movie you want to finish it. Its not a movie with sex, violence or language, unlike 90% of the movies currently out in theaters, instead it is a feel good movie that has you cheering for the underdog. Its up there with Miracle and Remember the Titans. You must rent it! But as I sit here writing this I hear a different noise in the background, the theme song to The Young and the Restless. Geez! I don't understand why people watch soap operas!

TACOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSS!

Ok, third one of the day. No I'm not sitting in front of the computer all day I just feel like writing so :b I am eating my mom's famous tacos! So good!!! I know as your reading this your mouth is watering, especially those who have had them. If only I had made my famous salsa to go with this... Hmmmmm.

Movies

I saw Transformers today. Half an hour ago to be exact. It was AWESOME! I want to see it again! Great action film. I don't remember Transformers as a kid but I'm glad I saw the movie. I also saw Harry Potter Tuesday midnight. That was a great film too. I'd see that again! I still want to see Ratatouille, Oceans 13, Waitress, and Evan Almighty. At least I can check off Transformers.

My day so far...

at work doing.... well actually creating this thing because only God knows why. Why? Really why? I have a myspace so shouldn't that be enough? Apparently not. I'm not one to write and being a math person I make up my own words, phrases and sayings. I am not a great speaker and when i speak i jumble my sentences together and therefore my dictionary will come out later this year. I don't like people to know about my personal life even if they are friends. I'm a private person, even thought I only have one volume, loud. I don't trust easily and saying I love you to someone takes a lot of time. As I'm writing this I am proofreading and therefore noticing many mistakes. I'm not a perfect person, as you can tell since you've probably noticed mistakes in this first blog ever! Yeah for me! Now I need to master putting pictures in this, but first I need to buy a camera since I lost mine! It had naughty pictures in it anyways, hopefully not circulating the internet now.
