Daphne's Room is Missing a Bed

We've lived at our home for well over a year and we still had bare walls in the guest room/Daphne's room. I've had frames and artwork ready for hanging, it was just trying to get Trey to mount the things. Well, this past weekend Trey and I finally got around to hanging things up. It looks really different and I think D-dog likes it. One thing I should note is that our friend Sean doesn't have a bed so we let him borrow our matress from this bedroom. He needs it more than we do right now. So here is the bedless room.


Finally, pictures on the wall.


I've never been to a bed and breakfast, but this room makes me think BNB.


This corner of the room hasn't changed much, but now that I think of it, I'd have to say more dust has mounted on the guitar.


This is the tierra I wore on my wedding day. It was in a box before. It's too pretty to be in box where it can't be seen.


In this corner we put up the very purple picture. To the right are two small frames hanging. There's suppose to be one more, but the frame fell off the wall last week and the frame was damaged. I was home alone when it happened and it scared me half to death.

Sunday Morning Church

For half of my life I've been raised in the Catholic church. I was baptized when I was an infant and I recently made the decision to be baptized as an adult. This past Sunday I did it.


This was after the dunk


This isn't the whole band, but here is half of us practicing early in the morning before Sunday school


Bass Stealer!


Trey snaps a photo of me practicing the bass


My mom went to church with us to support my baptism

Trey is such a show-off

Stop Feeding Me Junk

ACU human resources hired me to tape an event yesterday and they feed me too. I was so hungry that I tried to convince myself the food was good. I'm usually really good about clearing my whole plate, but this time I just couldn't do it.

Later that night Trey and I were running late to Wednesday night church and I knew we had to eat beforehand because after class we had band practice. We stopped by Sonic and I ate a greasy hamburger, fries, and a soda. I told Trey no soda, but he insisted. Since I stopped drinking sodas I've realized when I occasionally drink one it burns my throat. It really hurts, no joke. It feels like acid.

Later, at church I joined the women's group and they had a pot-luck feast. I didn't want to be rude, since it was my first time there, so I grabbed a plate and ate more. It was around 9 o'clock that night, when Trey and I were heading home, he asked me if I wanted to get desert. I just looked at him like he was crazy and I told him my body was telling me to stop feeding it junk.

Change is Hard

For the past few minutes I've been trying to change the face of my blog, but I just can't do it! After changing the face, my sites saved to the right were deleted...grrrrrrr.

About the Truck: Before & After


Lots & lots of rust on the frame

Here is a one picture of afterwards

I like how it looks like new



I've been meaning to post these pictures of Trey's truck for a while. This is the first step we've taken to restore the C-10 1969 Chevy. We're both excited, but realize it will take years before it'll be complete. Here are a few before and after pictures of the frame.

TV Junkie


It's funny how we can go most of the year without cable, but when football season is here Trey insists it's a necessity we cannot live without. This year we opted for Dish Network and my eyes are bloodshot from watching. I watch because I'm bored and partially because I feel like I have to catch up with the TV world. I've been watching TV for about 2 days and I'm already getting bored with it.

Trey is out of town for a few nights. He went with several men from church to Promise Keepers, a Christian men's retreat. He touched base with me last night and it seems like he's having a ton of fun. It's sort-of scary being at home by myself, but last night my mom came over and we watch two movies before I went to bed. And to let the time fly, before she came over, I watched The Notebook. I managed to watch it by myself and cried like a baby because it's so heartfelt.

About the job thing, it's hard being rejected, but it's their mistake not mine. I'm a great worker and I thank God for something else. As they say, I'm still on the market...the job market, that is. Well, I'm going to have as much fun as I can before my summer ends officially forever!

P.S. It looks like it's gonna rain so this morning I drove the car and I didn't realize how much I missed listening to music while I drive. I cranked up the stereo and yelled out lyrics from the Starting Line as loud as I could: "SNAP BACK INTO FORMATION AND GET TO WORK, UNTIL THE JOB GETS DONE. EVERYONE'S GETTING READY, 'CAUSE THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FRIDAY NIGHT."
It felt good. I have to say everyone should use music as a stress reliever.

A Divine Workout

Okay, I rarely go to the gym past 8 o'clock, but for some reason yesterday I thought it would be a good idea. I'm really glad I went because I had two great oppurtunites to share my faith. One of them is too personal to share to the world, but I can tell you about Zena. I was just about to leave, but before I left I saw this young woman. She smiled at me and I couldn't help, but notice a massive bump on her neck. She was nursing it and told me a spider bit her. She went to the doctor and had it checked out. I didn't know what to say, but I knew the Holy Spirit was tugging at my mouth. I asked her for her name and told her I'd be praying this week for it to heal. I know it's not much, but the more I share my faith the more it becomes natural for me. I turned the corner and stepped out of the locker room and I heard her say, "That is so sweet." I don't know if she meant for me to hear her say that or not.

I'm still waiting to hear something about this job that I was interviewed for. No word yet, just lots and lots of waiting.

Shopping & Open Houses

This weekend was Tax Free Weekend, so I took my 12 year old sister to the mall to shop. We were there for almost an hour and she still hadn't bought anything. I wasn't planning on buying any clothes, but I walked out of American Eagle with very, very long pants. Even when I wear my tallest high heels with them they still drag. I guess I'll need to buy some new heels...Bummer. But they are super cute! That night Trey and I went to the movies to see Will Farrell's new movie. It was so funny and I think I embarrassed Trey several times from laughing so loud.

Even though Trey and I own our house and don't plan on moving or selling, we like to go to open houses at least once a month to see what's on the market. Sunday, we made a game out of it. We made a list of all the houses and ranked them on a scale from 1-10. The best house we both agreed on was worth the money and move-in ready. It was listed at 160,000. It was nice, but I don't know if I would want to live there. I'm a big fan of older houses, like ours. We did find a house in our neighborhood that was built in the 30's. I got some good decorating ideas by walking through that house.

Judaism is Illuminated For This Gentile


I finished reading Everything is Illuminated and I was blown away with the book. The next day I rented the movie and was deeply dissatisfied. I mean, the movie was good if I hadn't read the book, but I was let down completely. Last night Trey and I were talking about the Jewish faith and I had more questions than answers. I don't know what it is, but I'm really fascinated with learning about Jewish culture and beliefs. One of the questions I asked Trey was, "Why are the Jews, God's chosen people?" He thought this would be a good discussion for our Sunday bible study. I feel so ignorant, but I'm determined to learn. I always hear people on the evangelism channel saying we should pray for Israel. But why? Am I the only Christian who doesn't know? I bet more people are like me, they just won't admit it.

Ha, Ha, Not Funny Then, But It's Funny Now


Last month I hit the gym pretty hard so yesterday morning I thought it would be a good idea to give the gym a break and go jogging around the neighborhood. I grabbed my sneakers and thought it would be fun to take Daphne, my beagle. Last year she would jog with me on a mile route with no problems. I figured she would enjoy it, boy was I in for a surprise.

We jogged from South 7th street all the way to 14th, which is roughly half a mile with no problems. As we ran around the corner to head back home Daphne decided she was going to lay her little behind down and quit. I tugged, pulled, talked, and pleaded without any success.

I had no choice but to carry her in my arms like a little baby all the way home. This is not what I had in mind when I originally woke up. There's an older man who lives around my neighborhood, he saw me walking with her in my arms as he was pulling out of his driveway. He stopped me and said I could get water from his water hose to hydrate her. Somewhere between getting drenched in the sprinkler system and Daphne running away from me, I just wanted to cry. I was wearing a black t-shirt that was drenched in water mixed with sweat and topped with dog hair. Oh, I didn't even mention that Daphne was smiling and breathing her dog breathe right in my face. I was so mad at her, but all I could do was laugh.

P.S. I got an email that said I won't hear about the job until next week. I want it, I want it!

Air Hockey Leaves My Arm Sore

Friday night was I guess, date night? Trey and I went to Mr. Gattis and bought 20 dollars worth of tokens. We hit-up the air hockey table and played about 8 games. The next morning I woke up sore. To tell you the truth my right arm is still in pain.

Saturday we managed to meet up with a couple we hadn't seen in about a month, Linda & Steve Eilers. We went to dinner and watched You me & Dupree. It's a pretty good movie, but I know Trey didn't like it. He's super picky about movies, Yes this is from the guy that loves movies like, the whole nine yards, Friday, Little Nicky, and has at least six seasons of South Park. Speaking of movies, I just finished reading the Book Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foe. Last year it was released by Warner Bros. Independent Films and I can't wait to watch it on DVD. I told Trey he's more than welcomed to join me when I watch the movie, but I have a feeling he's not going to like it. I guess we'll see.

Sunday was amazing! I don't know if someone talked to pastor Steve about me, but I'm telling you he was talking directly to me. Even Trey said, "wow, this sermon is for you," my eyes were getting a little wet and I agreed.

The week ahead should be an interesting one. Today I will hear if I get a job, I applied for.

It's been a few days

It's been a few days since I've posted. I haven't been too busy, just the usual. Last weekend Trey and I were suppose to go camping. I had the whole trip planned with reservations at the campsite and everything. The day before we were suppose to leave Trey came home and said he feel down while he was working and needed to ice his leg. We talked it over and decided we wouldn't go camping because the main activity we had planned was bike riding. We scratched that and at the last minute made plans to go to South Lake to visit our Uncle Jerry and Aunt Karen. We made it a day trip and went swimming in their swimming pool and lounged in the jacuzzi. It was so relaxing and much better than camping. After we swam for a while we cleaned up and went shopping.


Trey found the official Dallas cowboys store and drooled on everything. He was like a baby in a candy store. We walked out of the store with a T. Owens jersey. He doesn't even like T.O., or at least he didn't when he played for Philadelphia . Yes, I know it's that time of the year...Football season. It's coming, it's right around the corner. I might as well kiss Trey goodbye for a few months.

Trey and I had a fight and I found a wonderful solution

My husband says I'm not much of a morning person, wow, I should record him waking up in the morning.

So the story begins, yesterday morning I woke-up first and turned on the main light switch. Trey is still asleep in bed, but once he realizes I have the light on he freaks out and starts yelling..."TURN OFF THE LIGHT!" What am I suppose to do get ready in the dark, could you imagine what my make-up would look like?

I was a little mad as I left the house, but Trey eventually called me at work and asked me if I was ready to apologize. I'm telling you that boy has nerves. Despite the whole ordeal, I found an easy solution. That evening I went to bed bath and beyond and purchased a sleeping mask for him.

We went out to eat last night and as we were sitting there I told him to close his eyes. I pulled out the mask and put it on him. He really liked it and he truly appreciated the gift.



So, this morning I had to come to work and I got out of bed around 5 am (I know it's ridiculous). Right before I left I looked over at Trey and he had the sleeping mask over his eyes. God, I love him and all is forgiven!

Scooting About Town



Rolling over a thousand miles the scooter is going strong. When I first got it the sticker claimed it got 75 miles to the gallon, but when I started riding it, I was only getting 70. I read online and found many owners claiming it took their scooters a while before they were getting 75 miles to the gallon and some of them even said they were getting 80. Now that I've broken the engine-in, I'm now getting 80 miles to the gallon too.

I ride it to and from work and it gets me from point a to point b. I would say I fill-up at least once a week and last time I was on empty I paid about $2.70. That's it! Can you believe it? Sometimes I feel silly, but then I think to myself "You don't look retarded, you look smart (and cute)." I get a lot of smiles and waves, especially from old men. I'm not too flattered, because most of the time it creeps me out.

It was super scary when I first started driving it. It's not like anything I was familiar with. You have to get a motorcycle license, which means taking a written and driving test. I don't know how to drive a motorcycle, but I have a license, if I wanted to. Maybe I'll get Trey to teach me on his motorcycle. One day. Now that I've been driving the scooter for a few months I'm not scared of driving anymore. Okay that's not entirely true, I do get scared when I see gravel. A month ago I feel off of the bike when I stopped at a stop sign. It was no big deal. The bike fell to its side and I hopped off before I fell on the street. Now when I see gravel I slow down, but not abruptly. I also stay away from highways and busy areas.

P.S. I always wear a helmet. I've almost been hit twice by crazy drivers. Everyone who rides tells me you have to look out for the other person.

Anorexic Christian: A Vulnerable Posting

Sometimes it takes an event in someone’s life to challenge his or her faith. Maybe a death, a break-up, a serious tragedy, in my case it's a major transition. I'm at that point in my life where all is possible and all is unknown. I recently graduated with the hope of landing the perfect job and with a promise that one was waiting for me. To my surprise, I was crushed to find out not all things work to my advantage. Despite the news I am hopeful and seeking God like never before.

I'm so thankful for this experience because it's drawn me closer to God. There for a while my spirit was so hungry. Since my focus has changed from me to Him, I feel so satisfied. I don't know how I did it for so long without feeding my spirit. I now know that whatever happens, everything will work out. Besides there are greater tragedies in life than not landing the job you hoped for. All I know is something is out there, bigger and better.

Hold The Pager

Sometimes the weekends are all Trey and I have to spend time with each other, especially in the summer. He works long hours and for the most part he has weekends off except when it's his turn to answer calls from the pager. I suppose he has the pager at least twice a month. He has to carry it and if anyone needs service, 24 hours he's suppose to respond.

Well, yesterday he received 6 pages in about 5 minutes. Even though he was busy we managed to have supper at a nice steak house. We sat down at the restaurant and played a few rounds of tick-tack-toe. Trey is extremely competitive and never lets me win any games. I won a few rounds, but he ultimately won the game. I told him he should let me win, but he said no way.

Abilene Zoo


Yesterday I spent time with my family at the Abilene Zoo. Even though it was hot it was worth the trip. Yesterday evening was so hot! 101 degrees to be exact. Trey and I rode his motorcyle to Buffalo Gap and my helmet was pretty soggy. The funny part is, we drove all the way out there and they didn't even have regular church because of vacation bible school.

Pretty in Pink

I wasn't laughing when I saw this hyena.

It's So Wrong...



If they mated.



This is from the Conon O'Brien Show, "If they Mated." When I was in middle school my friend and I entered the talent show and did a sketch called the Dominique & Austi O'Brien Show. We actually won 2nd place.

7th grade those were my glory days.

Near Death Experience!!! (Oh the Drama)

Yesterday, I made my way home on my scooter, taking the normal route. I was counting the number of churches I pasted while driving down a one-way street. Good thing I had church on my mind because I almost died! This gas-guzzler SUV pulled out in my one-way lane driving right for me, head-on. I hit the brakes and the mad woman behind the wheel continued to drive towards me. I couldn't switch lanes because several cars were on my right. The mad woman obviously needed something to grab her attention since she wasn't stopping, so sitting there waiting for the hit, I threw my arms up in the air and yelled, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" This got her attention and she hit the brakes and backed-up. You know I really wanted to get off my scooter and walk over to her vehicle and give her a lesson in driving, but I'm not perfect by any means. Can you imagine the girl who ran the red light, last year (that would be me), giving the mad woman a lesson in driving. Give grace, where grace is needed.

This morning I was thinking what would Trey do without me, if something happened...Well, he would go on an all cereal diet that's for sure, he would fall asleep on the couch every night, and he would convert our guest bedroom to an all Dallas Cowboys room. Good thing I'm not going anywhere.

A New Home

Yesterday, Trey and I officially became members of the Buffalo Gap First Baptist Church. It's pretty exciting and I'm anxious about getting more involved. This Wednesday I plan on going to a bible study. I guess that was the highlight of the weekend.

Friday was really low-key. I spent the night on the patio reading a book that I bought several months ago, while Trey fell asleep on the couch. I think work really wears him out.

Brandon my brother-in-law came over Saturday to help Trey organize our garage and disassemble his truck. So, now the truck is no longer in a million pieces it's in a billion pieces. I think in the next few weeks we're going to have the frame sand blasted.

Sunday we went to church and later I meet up with my mom to work out at the gym. Oh, yes and I also had a chance to play with my DVD player.

Saturday, July 08, 2006

It once was lost, but now it's found!!!

For graduation, my parents, bought me an amazing DVD player. It records shows onto a DVD-R, you can also burn DVD's by hooking up a camcorder via firewire, and more. I didn't tell my parents this, but I really haven't had a chance to play with it because the remote has been missing for about a month. That's so bad, I know. I looked everywhere for it, but had little luck. Get this, I would try to watch The Simpsons Season and I was only able to watch the first episode from each disc.

Yesterday, I wasn't even looking for the stupid remote and the darn thing magically appears where I promise I'd looked before...okay, maybe I didn't look in the exact place, but I guarantee I looked in the general area. I'm so glad I found it. I was getting ready to call Panasonic and order a new one.

Learning To Say No


The past month for me was insane. I had numerous projects to due and not to mention events and what not. Well, it's a new month for me and yesterday someone asked if I wanted to make some extra cash by editing a project. I thought about it for a few seconds and then told them no. It was hard to say no, but I'm glad I did.

P.S. Bruiser is doing much better, but he's still having problems walking.

Sad Scenario

This morning I got off of work and came straight home. Everytime I pull into the drive-way my dogs, Daphne and Bruiser, meet me at the fence. This morning Daphne was there, but Bruiser wasn't. I immediately knew something was wrong. I rushed through the fence and around the corner and I saw Bruiser lying down on the concrete. His tail was wagging and he was trying to stand up with his front legs, but couldn't manage to pull himself up. He started crawling with his bottom dragging on the pavement. I tried calling him and luring him in the house which he loves, but nothing helped. He managed to pull himself up temporarily and wobble through the door. He only went a few feet before plopping down. I've never seen him that calm before. I called the vet and Trey and I rushed him over. I don't know what's wrong with him and the vet's not sure either, but after taking some x-rays he thinks something might be wrong with his spinal cord. The vet recommends he be confined to a small space for a month and take medication. Right now Bruiser's in the shop with a massive fan blowing on him and I check on him every hour. It's horrible seeing someone you love in so much pain. I hope tomorrow he'll be up on his feet again.

What the 4th of July Means to Me


To me the fourth means, Independence, fireworks, picnics, family, and homemade ice cream.

Home Alone

I'm all by myself today. Trey went to Arlington to watch a baseball game with his friend Sean. Sean and him have been friends since middle school. It's pretty funny hearing them talk about their old school days.

I bet Trey's having a blast at the game, but I can have fun too. Who says mowing the yard isn't a blast or how about laundry? Okay maybe I'm a little mad that he's having all the fun, but he deserves it after last night. Yesterday we went to the drive-in and watched the Lake House. I know it must've been torturous for him. It was so bad on him that he fell asleep. I on the other hand, loved it! But then again, I'm such a sucker for romantic movies.

Goodbye Digital Media Class

No more digital media class.


Yesterday was the last day and tonight we're having an end of the summer banquet. I guess we'll eat and they'll pass out awards to the students. I know for sure they'll be screening the video I stayed up editing until 4 am this morning. As a matter of fact, I'm sitting here while it's burning to disc. I hope Trey can come with me. He just called and told me how he's excited because he talked to a guy who restores 69' Chevy's, the same make and model as his truck. Let me fill you in, if you don't know... Trey bought a truck our first year of marriage. He's never driven the thing, however it is in a million pieces in our garage if you'd like to see it. I love Trey to death and want his dream truck to drive one day. One day it will.

Plumbers and Toilets


Last night started like any other, then all of a sudden our front bathroom was ankle high in sewage water. It was a horrible sight and disgusting smell. Trey was yelling at me, "Dominique bring me towels, bring me towels!" So, now I have to go out today and buy new towels. No way am I using gross sewage smelly towels to clean my body. Yuck! The plumber came this morning at the crack of dawn and said everything was a-okay. Oh, the joys of home owning.

The Best Coffee EVER!!!


Before I begin, I want to say I've discovered my favorite coffee all over again! I love H-E-B coffee called Taste of Abilene, but I never realized they sold it seperate from there coffee bar...You know where you can buy it grounded. Well, I found it and freaked out!

Now switching gears, I guess I've been dancing around work I've been needing to do, but I definelty had fun this weekend. The highlight: rockin' on the bass Sunday during church and of course the coffee! The Low: staying up late and waking up earlier.

Trey and I rented Running Scared. The movie claims it makes Kill Bill look like Sesame Street. Based on that claim alone, I had to see what all the fuss was about. Indeed, it was pretty gory, but I have to say it was much, much better than Kill Bill.

Friday, June 23, 2006

I just posted a new video on my website

I just posted my latest video online. I worked on it for about 3 weeks and it was screened at the Abilene Country Club a few weeks ago. It was a lot of hard work, but very rewarding.

Summer Fun





Yesterday we spent time with the pups in the backyard tossing the football around. As you can see our Doberman is almost as tall as Trey.

Well, I can't believe another week has flown by. My mom is out of town so this weekend Natasha, my younger sister is staying with us. I have tons of video projects I have to work on, but that's the same song I've been singing all summer. I'll try to pull myself away from the computer that chains me, if I can I plan on seeing at least one good movie and walking my beagle. Trey and I will be going to church this Sunday. I think we found a church we both enjoy. The church is out in Buffalo Gap called First Baptist of BG. Wednesday we practiced with the praise and worship band. Trey played guitar and I rocked out on the bass. This Sunday the praise and worship leader wants us to play with them so that's pretty exciting. I can't explain how wonderful it feels to play in a band again!

T-Shirt Reads: I Don't Need an Encyclopedia Because My Wife Knows It All

That was the T-shirt we gave our Dad for Father's Day, along with another one that read: For Sale: Make Offer. We spent our weekend watching movies and were caught in a rain storm. Saturday Trey and I made our way to the Drive-in to watch the Fast and the Furious followed by The Break-up. It looked like it was going to rain and sure enough it began to storm on us. It rained for a good 30 minutes and hailed for 10. Luckily we didn't have any damage to the car.


By the way, The Fast and the Furious was suprisingly decent and the Break-up wasn't bad either. Oh, I failed to mention I received my diploma in the mail Friday. Yeah, I piece of paper that says thanks for the money and here you can have a paper. Real nice!

Where'd the Power Go?

Last night we went over to our friends house and had a wonderful steak dinner and then later we went to see my favorite: Garfield. I don't know if the couple we were with wanted to see it, but they were good sports about it...Afterwards, when we exited the theatre it was beginning to storm, so Trey and I made our way home for the night. When we got home I started to brush my teeth and Trey was watching TV when the electricity went out. I was scared, but Trey and I found each other in the dark with the guide of our cell phone lights. 15 minutes later, we were still in the dark.


Our neighbor called and said, your small dog, Daphne is in my backyard. When I went to get Daphne, Stacey our neighbor, said she put her back over our fence. I called Daphne's name, but I had no luck. I ran to our fence near the ally and heard Daphne crying. She was soggy and muddy. What a night!

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties



I'm not seven years old, but I'm super excited about the new Garfield movie. It comes out today and I'm gonna try to see it this weekend. Although I have to say I'm disappointed it's not showing at the drive-in. Tonight Trey and I are hanging out with a married couple from one of the churches we visited a few months ago. Trey said they were thinking we could watch a movie tonight. I'm pretty sure they want to watch the new Jack Black movie, Nacho Libre. OH BOY! That movie is either gonna be really dumb or really brilliant. Other than that I have to sort papers for class, work out, work, edit, and work on the yard.

Vet Visit


Poor Brusier is a sick puppy...we'll he's not ill, but he's having skin problems. He's been itching his butt bare. Yesterday we took him to the vet and they treated him. I hope he gets better. Last time I posted his weight he weighed around 75 pounds, he now weighs 93.

Tuesday, June 13, 2006

Entertaining An Idea


Last week Trey came home and asked, "What do you think about moving to Austin?" initially I said no way, I don't want to leave my house and family. Ever since he asked me I've been seriously considering the idea. I just hope Austin isn't a smaller version of LA because I swear if I have to pay 6 dollars a day to park my car I will freak out!

1,000 Miles Later

Can you believe I've put 1,000 miles on my little scooter? I think it's time for a tune-up. With teaching a class this summer and working on numerous video projects I haven't had a chance to ride it as much as I would like. I have to haul equipment and it's really hard to attach a light kit to my back.

P.S. I just posted this picture because I thought it was too cute.

Back to Normalcy...Sort of...

Last night my video was screened at the Abilene Country Club. I love making videos and it's so rewarding, but it's so creatively draining. Now I will move on to the next project on my list: Upward Bound Banquet Video....It never stops does it? At least I'm busy and not bored. Never a dull moment.

Sunday Morning



My younger sister had her first communion today so Trey and I went to church to see her. We spent the rest of the afternoon with my family. Trey and I ventured to take my niece with us to Target. That was interesting because usually its just us two, but it was fun.
