I wish someone would've told me

If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face.

Oh sure, it seems obvious now, but you’d be amazed at how many people don’t think of it when it’s relevant.

Seriously, punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.

--Chuck Klosterman

If you don't understand this, have no desire to do this, or

think this is silly...then clearly you have never been in the

heartbreak boat before. Yes...it may be the immature way to

go...but goodness when your heart is breaking...

the immature way is the ONLY way.

Lucky for me, I will never have to be in this boat again...

butt for all of you out there who still are or could be....Doo it. 

I wish I would have.

And most likely who ever your punching deserves it...

and even if they don't

 it'll probably still feel fantastic

and totally worth it =)

Food for Food....kinda

We El Barragan's....we're cool.

Last Tuesday was date night, and for date night we decided to do a little spalurging and get us some Cafe Rio (big deal). 

Tuesday Original Plan: 

Jorge gets off work about 6:15. 

Husband gets into gym shorts at 6:35.

(I am already in appropriate Gym Shorts/ Cafe Rio attire) 

Leave for Cafe 6:36,

Arrive at 6:43. 

Order, Home by 7: 03

7:04 Eat & Watch our new fave show

"Master Chef"

Actual Events of Tuesday:

Jorge gets off work 6:35

Whorhay Gets home 6:55

Takes some quick alone time at 7:00

(Saydee sits on couch waiting for Husband

to fill her empty stomach...turns on T.V.)

7:07 Jorgie gets done with alone time

sits on couch with mi and watches Master Chef.

(clearly very hungry people)



Which by pure happenstance it was the Season Finale of Master Chef!!  you can only imagine our excitement.

Ya I know right....big deal.  Nooo way we're getting off this couch.  People cooking food....while we are craving food.  Peerfect combo.  It came down to the Top 3:

Christian

The cocky butt-head no one likes, but very good with the Sea Food

Brenda

Which come to find out her name is actually Jennifer....

I figured that out after callin her Brenda like 10 times and then

Jorge was finally like "Who's Brenda???"

and our favorite.....

Miguel

Jorge has this thing where he roots for the Mexican

on every show we watch.  You gotta always go for the Mexican he says...

he's bias :)

p.s. Come to find out that's not his actul name either!  It's Adrian.... I also found this out after refering to Miguel several times and finally 45 seconds later Jorgio turning to me and asking me "Who in the heck is Miguel ??"   It's not my fault he looks like a Miguel.....

Jorge told me I was racist.

Anywho.... by 8:05 we had definitely caught on that this show wasn't ending anytime soon. 

So what did we do with an empty stomach since 9 am, and a husband who does not..I repeat DOES NOT...do well without food in his belly?

Yes we did just that.... Sat and watched some more :)  

To make a loong story short...Brenda won.  I wasn't fully satisfied,

butt anythings better than Christian right?

So that was our Tuesday Night.

Waited 2 hours to eat actual food 

so we could watch food be cooked...

Date Successful :)

Wiseness... in someone else's words

Love to a T.

Marriage to a Te.

Whorehey and me.....TEE 

Love it.

Some things are a BIG deal

Life is all about Milestones. 

• *First steps* (cliche' i know...) 
• First time *showering by myself* (shoutout to Kate for the drawing =) 
• 9 yrs old and with some help (thank you lovely "Mouth Pokey Gaurd") you *stop sucking your thumb*
• *Staying up all night* w/o sleep at a sleepover, and then dancing in a South Weber wind storm as the sun comes up   (love you Brandi, Kenzie and Manda Jo)
• Ice Cream shops are the only way to go for your *First Job*
• Making the Butler's peanut butter cookies will never make up for what I did to their Truck (*First Car Crash*) still so sorry...
• Finding the perfect song to get you through the unstoppable crying from the *First Heart-Break*...and listening to it for many heart-breaks to come
• *Living on your own* no parents to tell you it's probably not a good idea to eat a gallon of Farr's Plato Ice Cream all by yourself (Thanks Lizzy)
• Getting to the point where you *rely on your sisters and family more than your friends*

 and then theres the really big stuff: 

*First Kisses*

One year ago this week on an August night in a Tree, me and my Mexi Man shared our first kiss.  For some people the first kiss is a pretty big deal and for others it means nothing and is all about fun. 

But in the lives of Saydee and Jorge...that kiss was the beginning of everything. 

Even though i didn't think he ever would.... I'm so glad he was able to get up that tree.

Love you Mexican Man :)

Tell me if I'm weird

So I have this thing.....


When I go out to eat or even have homemade food that I love (like Spegetti or Stuffing) and say I eat it all that night and don't save any for the next day OR I am so full I am not thinking clearly and decide not to take home my leftovers OR I have leftovers and give them to Jorgie cause he needs lunch for work...


Well when this happens:

 I get super sad. 

Like supa sad.  I crave it ... I want to eat it right now.

 and eventually that sadness turns into madness because I think why didn't I just eat it when I had the chance?? 

Then I go through the bitter stage...

mainly with whomever helped convince me not to take my food home or who I give the food to the next day (it passes quickly though Jorgie!)

Yesterday me and Jorgie Poo went to Chili's and Applebee's (yes i know...talk about the fatties we're becoming. You should know the double 'eat out' day was forced upon us!) 


I had left overs from Applebee's....Jorge had leftovers from Chile's (sidenote: Jorge got my favorite dish I get everytime we go to Chili's, Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers,

  Are you seeing this marvelous Goodness?

and I forced myself to get a salad.

At this point you better be noticing my hearts discontent

Terrible decision.  Total Regret.

 

 This morning I let Jorge take my Applebee's left overs to work.... he took his Chili's too (i didn't think just his would be enough to make him full...Good Wife Card).


So this is how the rest of the day will pan out:

Now at about 11 o'clock I am in the sad stage

1:28 p.m. (around the time of my lunch break) i will hit the mad stage.

1:43 p.m. (half way through my break) I will be bitter. 

(i love you whorehey) 

4:26 p.m.  I will have forgotten about all this nonsense

9:32 p.m.  I'll be getting in the car to drive myself to Chili's 

P.S.  Jorge don't read into this too much.....I will still give you my leftovers, cause i know you love the food just as much as I do =)

Royal Hullaballooo

The Royals have landed...... in Hollywood....  and its all over my stinking computer news..... 


 I have grown bored of all the Royalty shenanigans.  Although I do think Princess Kate is loooovely.  If I had her stylist Jorge probably wouldn't be soooo embarrased of my closet....alright no probably about it he'd be loving it and treatin me like a QUEEN.  :) (which he already does...so i'll just stick to my closet for now) 


 

Let's just admit it...the girls got Swag.



Anywho....

With Kate and William being soooo close to me (only a whole 2 states away) is making me feel nostolgic.  Taking me back....

The day was  April 29th, 2011. 

My madre had informed me that she was my age when Princess Diana and Prince cheated on Diana, got married. 

 

Check out those sleeves.



 Mamma was 20 or so and she remembers waking up the middle of the night adnd watching the wedding....talk about historical....a "Royal Fairy Tale" they called it! I thought to myself:  

UMMMMMM... wanna do that!

 

  So i did my research.  Entermtainment Weekly was nice enough to inform me that coverage of the Royal wedding would start at 2 AM.  Schweeeet!  I would Wake up after probably 2 hours of sleep, watch the wedding for like an hour or so and get back in bed and FORCE Jorgio to cuddle with me.

My alarm was set for 2 AM. I guess I didn't even hear it because at 3 AM I woke up in such a frenzy!  I was f r e a k i n g out.  Jorge didn't even budge.  I thought for sure I had missed the wedding!  I turn on the T.V. (which I set to the correct channel the night before to avoid any lost clicker situations) 



I was SAVED!  The wedding hadn't started yet.  In fact the Princess hadn't even arrived at the Cathedral yet...IN FACT stinking Prince William hadn't even gotten to the Cathedral yet.  What in the HECK were these Royals taking their sweet precious time doing! I thought for sure it wouldn't be long though.....How long could it take for them to drive down the street and get to this old building??             



About an hour later I hear Barbara Walters say...."we are about 45 minutes away from the wedding!"  fml. 

So I waited.  I think I was pulled in by all the cool hats or something.  But finally...FINALLY.  Princess Kate arrives at the Old building!  Halleluijah. 

Let's get this ball on the roll...

Too bad it took her 30 freaking minutes to get down that aisle!  How long was that thing...and how slow was she walking??  (side note: beautiful music.  those little boys sound like girls.      in a good way.)

 It's about 5 AM at this point.  So the weddings over....coverage is over....story is over....right?? Nooo!  those stinkin Britians. Now all i'm hearing Barbara talk about is how momentous this "First Kiss" is that the Royal Couple shares!  It's gonna be like 10 minutes and then they'll kiss right??

About 10 minutes later I hear Barbara Walters say...."we are about 40 minutes away from the "Kiss!"  wtf.

 At this Point I have been up for 3 hours to watch this whole thingy... there is no way in Hell, Michigan that I am missing this kiss!  A Fairy Tale is not complete without it's kiss. 



So I wait.  and Finally...FINALLY. they get on that balcony and kiss. 

and not only that....they kissed TWICE! 

I was pretty happy at this point...I figured I had stayed awake for 4 hours in the wee hours of the morning...the least the royal couple could give me was 2 kisses.  I was pleased.  Seeing the kisses made it all worth it.  I was reminded of how wonderful weddings are and how happy I was when I finally got to spend FOREVER with my sweetie, Jorgie.  It was 7 am at this point and "The Royal Fairy Tale" was over and I was apart of their history. kinda. ha   

So then I turned off the t.v. and scurried off to my bed...



 to force my own Prince Jorgie to cuddle with me :)

Got no Sleep and Totally worth it.



Water Babies!

If you could spend a summer day with this:

You'd be doggin out of work early too!

I also got to get some swimmin time with this:



They haven't discovered that whole "Smile" thing for me yet... but still.  Adorable.

One day I will be tan like him.....it's scientific. The longer the couple is married the more they look like each other. There's hope for me



I'm pretty sure Jax put on the goggles just so he could be like Zoe...

This is my most favorite picture of the day.  I generally do not enjoy pictures of myself but Zoe looked way too cute to not take a picture with.  I said Zoe take a picture with me....."SMILE!"  I take the picture immediately look down at the camera and see that in the picture her eyes are closed!  So then I look over at Zoe and her eyes are still closed!  She then smiles and says "I was pretending to sleeeeeep Saydee!"  Best day of the summer thus far :)

Miss Baby Bee

After waiting at the hospital for 4.5 hours, lots of free juice and DP, The Voice, an impatiant Jordo, a wonderfully patient Jasee and a rough entrance....finally....FINALLY-- Miss Baby B was born 

 Welcome Miss Brinlee Chestrine Burrell :)



Isn't she beautiful??  Due to the rough entrance they had to take her into a room where only Jordo could go in and see her for an hour or so.....and Jordo was such a proud papa!  he kept asking everyone if they wanted him to go take more pictures of her...I kid you not he went in there atleast 6 times just to take pictures.  She is super beautiful and super fun.  I looove new babies.  I just wanna hold her all the time!!





Jordo looking like a dorko proud Papa

Happy Grandma Derba gives us her "Real Smile"

Beautiful Jasee :)

Welcome Brinlee Dear!  and Good job Jasee and Jord....you make some pretty dang cute babies...keep it up:)  We're sooo happy to finally add another girl to the Burrell Grandkids.... Zoey needs some help!

Bad Wife Card

So I have this thing.... I HATE.  (make that a double hate) ... Grocery shopping.  It is most definitely a quality I get from mi madre.  I just dislike it alot.  Jor-hay and I have been married 4 months (exactly July 2nd) and would you like to know how many times I've been grocery shopping??  FOUR.  That is a 4 times.  Tht is once a month if you need me to make that any more clear.  It's not like me and Jorgio starve....I make dinner on a regular basis! Alright.. so my husband won't say I'm a big fat liar....I've been good at cooking dinner regularly except for in the last two weeks.  I thought I could get away with an empty fridge......butt the actual emptiness of each and every shelf can't be hidden  (insert image of sad empty fridge...i'm too embarrassed to actually show you mine).....I do have condiments though!  5 bottles of Hines Ketchup in fact.  If we could count condiments as REAL food i'd have a great fridge....but the idea of that doesn't always sell =) 


So now on a night when my Hubby leaves me to go and get his basketball on, I actually have an oppurtunity (blogspot needs a spellcheck) to get some grocery shopping, but i am GLUED to the couch, because there are dishes to be put away and Sex and The City (a show I know mi madre wouldn't approve of me watching, yet I can't find the clicker so it's staying on) is on the telly. 


So.... I'll make it to the grocery store tomorrow.  Hopefully..... :)

This is for my bed

Jorge told me he's not gonna let me go to bed until I write atleast one post! (he said that yesterday.....and you see how well that worked out)  So here is my post!  I am Saydee, formally Saydee Marinda Burrell, but I got married to this hunk (Jorge):

isn't he dreamy:)

and now I am Saydee Marinda El Barragan :). And it has taken 3 days for me to write this stinking post! So hello bloggerworld. it's nice to finally officially be apart of you.....I hope i don't turn to hate you like i do most technology....and on that note,  I'm gonna go make some cookies with my Mexican man. Goodnight =)
