When Did My Body Ever Feel So Sore?

Afternoon everyone! A quick update since I'm still busy with work and my sister being here.
  • I went to The Field Museum here in Chicago with my Dad and sister yesterday. It was about 6 hours of walking. I'm used to sitting in a chair at work all day, and only walk to and from a car. My calves and ankles are on strike.
Me and my sis Aleida.
  • I found out some promising news concerning Harley Quinn being given a monthly series from artist Amanda Conner and writer Jimmy Palmiotti. Heard they did good things with Power Girl, so we'll see. Fingers Crossed!
  • I saw Pacific Rim (IMAX 3D) with my whole family, and can I tell you, I was so happily blown away. I want to see it a couple more times in theaters. My favorite characters? The Kaidanovsky couple who pilot Cherno Alpha. Bad. Asses.
  • Just found out the loan for James's and my first house was APPROVED! This weekend James will be going to look at houses. Can you believe it?
So there you have it. Been a busy lady. My sister leaves early Sunday morning. After that I plan on doing laundry and going to do my nails. Hopefully we can talk soon!

When Did My Sister Arrive?

Hey everyone, sorry for not posting yesterday, but I had to clean up after work because my sister arrived after midnight from Mexico. Yes, I have an older sister from Mexico that was from my fathers first marriage. Her name is Aleida. Yes, I realize my name is hers backwards and without the "i". I give my dad a hard time about it to this day.
On most days.
So she will be staying with us until next Saturday, meaning I'm going to be a bit busy after work until then. I already know this Sunday my family will be taking her to the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin. I've been before, and it's loads of fun. Can't wait to have my sister enjoy those insanely large turkey legs.
This is like a T-Rex leg.
Other than that not too sure what she wants to do while she is up here. It's just difficult since my mother and I have to work everyday except Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Either way, we have the evenings after work to do stuff, which is why I think I won't be able to post everyday until the 20th. "But Adela, you don't post reliably anyway." Don't be rude, audience.

I'm hungry for some reason....
