   Jinxes suck, Mexican list, & mai strawberry pie story
I believe that if I watch the 1st half of the SPURS game, they'll end up loosing. It's been proven on many occasions. I also believe that if I watch to much of the free throws, they won't make it. So while the SPURS are barely in the first quarter, I'm here on the computer writin to ya'll out there in Internet Land. As for the free throws, I only watch it before the player shoots. More often than not it works. So yeah. I'm a superstitious person. So instead of enjoyin the game right now, I'm gettin updates on the score now & then from mai mom.


Here's an e-mail mai mom sent me. It's called "True Mexicans" It's very funny.... if ya get it.

If you can run and play any sport while wearing chanclas....Mexican status!!
If your late tio left you a van and you turned it into a taco vending business. Yes, you're a Mexican.
If you have ever hurt yourself and your mamacita rubbed the area while chanting, "Sana, Sana, Colita de rana....." You're Mexican, big time!!!
If you have your last name in old English lettering anywhere on your car, truck, or tattooed on your back. Yes, you ARE a Mexican (and a proud one too).
If you refer to your wife as your ruca, your hina, your wifa, your old lady, or your vieja, guess what? You're a Mexican.
If you throw a "Grito" (AHHHHHH HAHAHA HAI!!) every time you hear Vicente Fernandez, then not only are you a Mexican, but you are a drunk Mexican.
If you have ever been pinched in church and been told "pobrecito de ti si lloras" or "Vas a ver orita que salgamos." Yes, you're definitely a Mexican.
If you grew up scared of someone called La Llorona, or fear the dark because of El CuCuy! Yes! Mexican!
If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys" or cake as "kayke". You're a Mexican.
If you use manteca instead of vegetable oil and can't figure out why your butt is getting bigger......You might be a Mexican.
If you have some tias that dress up in their prom dresses to go to a birthday party at "el parque". You are a Mexican.
If your tias and abuela dress up in their Sunday best with heels and all to go to the "pulga." (AKA the Flea Market) Then, yes, you are a Mexican.
If most of the houses on your block are painted bright pink, mint green, and purple. Mexican.
If you use the bushes in front of your house, the fence, or the top of an old car to dry laundry. Yes,
you're a Mexican.
If you're congested and your mamasita rubbed "Bicks" (Vicks) into your nostrils and gives you "jugo de sebolla" with sugar, (grandma's recipe) to help relieve your symptoms. You're Mexican.
IF YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPLANATIONS FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE, YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TRUE MEXICAN. VIVA LA RAZA!!!
You know your laughing your head off. It's all in fun, so don't get all "adoloridos." (offended) Just pass it on so another Mexican can laugh too!

There, I passed this on to all the Mexicans out there ^.^ & please don't get all "adoloridos" about it. ^.^ Think of it as one of those, "you know you watch too much anime when...." lists


As for the strawberry pie story. Mai mom & I saw strawberrys at "hell" (H-E-B, our grocery store) the other day for $.99 and they had some BIG ones! We bought two 1lb cartons of them. Then I saw the strawberry glaze & decided to make a strawberry pie. Then we bought the ready made pie crusts that you just have to put in the oven to bake. That was yesterday. Today, mai mom was nice & baked the crust while I was at skewl.Then after skewl i came home and did the rest. i washed, and cut the strawberries, successfully avoiding eating the really BIG ones (horray for me!! ^.^). Then iput the glaze & spread it around the strawberries with mai finger (the glaze is very good by itself ^.^). Then stupid me, I put whipped cream on it and put it in the fridge for the required hour. About 15 minutes later, I opened the fridge to get tea out for dinner & noticed that the whipped cream had melted and was now running off the sides of the pie (not really sides since the pie is a circle, but ya'll know what i mean). I was mad but we left it in there and after dinner, i took it out and since i thought it looked like mai niece had spit up all over it, I decided to try and fix it. I found a tub of Cool Whip and dropped spponful after spoonful on it and spread it over the melted whip cream. Every now and then, it'd catch on some of the glaze, leaving red streaks over the top. It looked good. I made it look good ^.^ & It tasted good too. ^.^ Surprisingly there's still some left. ^.^

Well, i gotta go. It is now 11:10 and the third quarter should be starting soon. So I'll leave ya'll to dream about the loverliness that is Strawberry pie and the glorious feeling of the SPURS being ahead of the LAKERS by 10 pts. at halftime (according to mai mom) ^.^
