Today I got at 8:00 AM to take the garbage out. Cindy woke up at around 9:00 AM and had to work for 1/2 arranging families to provide comments about an article that came out on charter schools. I stayed in bed and finally got up at noon.
I called the girls later and they told me that yesterday they did not go to Sea World, but instead went to Fredricksburg. Today they went to Sea World and to a Spurs game. I was not able to talk to them from late afternoon on.
We went to Java Joes again for breakfast, and I had an Italian Roll, egg, and pepper sandwich. I really liked. You eat it with ketchup. We had a couple of wheatgrass pills, and vitamins.
Later we went to cut my hair. The same lady that shaved my head by mistake cut it this time. Cindy also tried a different haircut. The hairdresser showed us some styles in a couple of magazines, and we picked one.
Cindy had much more energies today, and threw away the Christmas tree. I worked in the garage re-arranging and putting things away. Cindy started organizing her papers that were in the basement. Cindy prepared the juice immune booster and we had it together - nasty stuff.
Much later at night we went to Cindy's Mom's house to pick up some receipts, and then went to King of Prussia. Her grandma did not like Cindy's new hairdo. At the mall, I bought some shoes, and Cindy some corduroy pants. She bought them at JCrew. We also returned a couple of things. We were very hungry, so we went to a Chilis nearby.

Donation Day
Woke up a bit earlier today (10:00 AM). Cindy got up at around 9:00 AM. She had a little pain last night. She took urelle. We think it was the vinegar and tomatoes in the Cuban food.
We had french toast, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. The day was cold, but sunny.
We worked on the basement and donated a truck full at Goodwill. We then went to look for wheat grass. We decided to get the pills instead of the actual grass. We had a late, very late lunch at Panera. I had tortilla soup in a bread bowl, and Cindy had a salad.
Cindy prepared the immune boost, and I had some of it. It tastes terrible. We packed some the Christmas decorations.
We talked for a long time sitting in couch, and then watched the History channel. I stayed up to watch Mad Money an Fast Money.
In summary, we did not do much...but the relaxation was great.
My girls woke up late. They cleaned their rooms. They went to Sea World. They are spending time with their cousins from NY.

Shooting Range
Today Cindy made oatmeal for breakfast. She then took a nap. At around 1:30 PM, her dad called and invited us to the shooting range with Dave. Cindy decided to come with us.
Dave is a great instructor and with Cindy's dad we had the best teachers in town. They were so nice to let us shoot. We had a great time. Cindy's first shot was right on the x. We shot 22 and 40 caliber guns. The 40 caliber semi-automatic has a big kick.
Later we thought that we might go with Cindy's dad and mom to eat at a restaurant on Baltimore Pike (I think) called Central Park or market. However, Cindy's mom was tired, so we decided to go for Cuban food. Cindy's dad called later and joined us. We had a nice dinner, but the food was not as good. We ordered Arroz con Pollo, Ropa Vieja, and Churrasco Cubano. We watched TV a bit and then Cindy went to bed at around 10:00 PM. I stayed to write a little bit.

Dinner at Fran's
Saturday...
I've been out on vacation for 2 weeks already and the days are mixed up. I would like these days to be remembered - however. This was the first day without Cindy's girls.
My girls went to PF Chang's and to see Cats. Gaby liked the spring rolls I recommended, but she said that the dumplings were better. She knew about 4 of the songs.
We left at around 5 to Fran's. We made a stop at a Wegmans to buy and bring to Fran's. Cindy loves the store. We then went across to a Wine & Spirit and got some wines. It was a very foggy night. We could hardly see 10 feet in front of us.
Fran's house in finished and her kitchen island looks awesome. Fran was a bit quite at night. She was very tired. The wine we bought had a leak in cork, so we need to return it. Eric and his daughters were there, as well as Vicky and Ed. Shayna joined us later. Michael was in the hospital. He has a staff infection.
Cindy drank a lot of white wine, and got very tired. Later at night she had a little pain. We really enjoyed the chat. At around 10:00 PM Cindy got very tired and we headed back home. I think the wine made her tired.

Boxing Day
Cindy dropped her girls off at their dad's. I got up very late again. I talked to Jairo in the morning while Cindy was dropping her girls up and he said that Cindy needs more sleep and less stress to make sure that her immune system is working better.
By the way, Jairo, Luisoly, and uncle Danilo, and rest spend Christmas at Jairo's. He mentioned that our uncle in lonely, and working really hard. Mom did not spend Christmas with them.
Cindy came back while I was taking a shower. She prepared herself the immune booster juice. We went to Jave Joes for breakfast. We then went to King of Prussia to shop. We were able to get an extra 25% discount for the juicer I bought Cindy.
We then went to the movies, and saw 7 pounds. Terrible movie. We came back home, and I had left overs from Dave's. Cindy only had cereal and milk, and cookies. She was feeling more energetic most of the day. She went to bed later than usual. I stayed up watching tv and surfing the net until she called me up. She had a little pain at night, and took a urelle.
Very early in the morning of the 27th, she told me that she dreamt that our wedding was at a park, and that it had been catered by Whataburger. They had brought a huge Whataburger hat, and that I wanted everyone under it for a picture.

Christmas Day
Christmas day.
Christmas day morning Cindy and I were alone. Cindy's girls spend Christmas Eve with their dad. I called the sweeties pies early, but they were asleep. They woke up at 6:00 AM (Anna first...waking up Gaby) and opened their gifts, and went back to bed. At 11:00 AM PHL time that I called, they were still asleep.
Cindy's girls were dropped off, and opened their gifts. We then went to their grandparents and opened their gifts. We spent some time there. Cindy's parents gave me sweaters, cd with famous speeches, and an IPOD from E-matic.
We then started our way to Dave's and I had a big fight with Kate. She was complaining about not having a social life. I had to explain to her where she stands as far as "real life," and how my family did not have much of a social life because we had to study hard and finance our way into college. I think she needed to hear that and also that we love her a lot, but she needs to realize that she has a lot of catch up to do.
We had Chrismas dinner at Dave's. The food was excellent. We had a nice, sweet wine from California, and all kinds of food.
My girls had a very late Christmas dinner at their grandparents. On Christmas eve they were also at their grandparents, and Anna opened her gifts. Anna got upset because she did not open hers. Gaby told me that her uncle Danny gave her a funny shirt that said "I put ketchup on my ketchup." He knows that she likes ketchup a lot.

Christmas Eve 2008 (Wednesday)
Sunday I drove to see the girls in the morning. I left gifts for them. I had a eggnog coffee and a doughnut. The girls were looking at the gifts under the tree. We were listening to Christmas music from youtube.
On Saturday, I spent most of the day at the malls looking for boots for them. I got some at Sketchers, and then I returned them. I also mailed the information to the lawyer. At the airport I send to text's to the girls telling them that I had a blue Christmas, and they replied that they always have me their hearts. I really loved that.
I was very afraid of flying on Sunday. My flight was at 11:35 AM, but it got delayed by 45 minutes. I came very close to moving the flight to another day. The flight was 3 hours and 45 minutes. I had a couple of wine glasses and it helpedme on the approach to Philadelphia. Last time it was very bumpy, and it was this time. I brought my J Crew winter jacket, so it was not that cold waiting for Cindy.
On Monday, we found out that Cindy's defenses are very low, and that she is fighting some kind of virus that makes her very tired. Cindy went to work and I slept most of the day. She was sent home early, and we ended up having lunch/dinner very late. The girls were spending the day at the grandparents with their dad packing gifts. We had a very, very late breakfast at a dinner in Midia.
On Tuesday, we dropped Kate off at a friend on 202 hwy past on the border of Delaware. We then went to TGI Fridays and then went to. We then went to the Mall in Delaware. On Tuesday, we went to Macy's and bought a juicer. We prepared the first immunity booster juice last night. Cindy was very tired and went to bed early. Hopefully the juicer will help her fight that virus.
Today it was very slow. Cindy dropped the girls off so they spend the day with their dad. Since we wanted to make sure we would remember our Christmas Eve, we decided to go to the Moshulu.
We had to run around a little bit before that. We got Cindy's Mom her Christmas gift. At the Moshulu we had a wonderful time. I had duck and Cindy fish. I had a sashimi for appetizer, and Cindy a salad that also looked like a sashimi. We had a riesling wine that was excellent. I had rice pudding for dessert, and Cindy apple pie. We came back home, and watched a little tv. It was a wonderful time.
Much later we went to Christmas Eve Mass. It was raining a little bit. Cindy's mom took her Irish friends. It was very hot at the church. I met the father and Sister Kate. I liked the church. It had a very small town feel to it. I love the time I spend with Cindy, even at church. I heard her sing, and she has a beautiful voice. The father told a joke about some parrots saying the rosary, and a foul-mouthed female parrot. His anecdotes is about how in these hard times people find God.
