Some Christian humor...
From an email I got:
T.D. Jakes (a well-known preacher) was returning to Texas after a speaking engagement. When his plane arrived, there was a limousine there to transport him to his home in Dallas.As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver. 'You know' he said, 'I am almost 50 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?' The driver said, 'No problem.'
T.D. gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, 'I know we are supposed to enforce the law but I also know that important people are sometimes given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person.' The supervisor asked, 'Is it the governor?' The young trooper said, 'No, he's more important than that.' The supervisor said, 'Oh, so it's the president.' The young trooper said, 'No, he's even more important than that.' The supervisor finally asked, 'Well then, who is it?' The young trooper said, 'I think it's Jesus because he's got T. D. Jakes for a chauffeur.'

Bobby Brown and a Speeding Ticket
So, yesterday was just a crazy and awesome day (the baby was born, remember?), but it ended kind of poorly. Before I get to that, I have to tell a funny story:
After leaving the hospital and our visit with Sandy and the baby, Katie and I found ourselves at Jerry's Deli on Sepulveda. So, we get ourselves some breakfast/lunch (whatever) we pay our bill and start heading out. As I'm getting my keys out of my purse, Katie stops, turns to me, and says (rather loudly, despite trying to muffle her words), "Is that Bobby Brown?"
First I thought she said, "Is that Bobby Flay?" (My sister is an avid Food Network watcher, so it was a reasonable mistake....hahaha!) I start looking around at all the people standing in the lobby area, trying to spot a red-headed, white guy, when I see Bobby "I-ruined-Whitney's-career" Brown, sitting on a bench, looking right at me, and snickering--mouth open; gap in his teeth and all. (He totally heard my sister). It immediately dawned on me which Bobby my sister was actually referring to. I said with a smile and without moving my lips, "Sho' is," and then we walked out.
As soon as we got outside I was like, "I thought he said he was poor and living in a car?" (Referring to the fact that he is picking up food in an upscale part of the Valley.) Hahaha! I been reading way too much of the Celebrity Gossip blogs. OMG!
That crap was hilarious. We immediately went on a clowning rampage the entire ride to my mom's house. We were saying stupid stuff like: "We should have back-handed him and said, 'How dare you ruin that woman's career!'" We were acting a fool in the car. You know you are washed-up when people are not excited to see you, but amused. Muahaha! Thank you, Bobby Brown, for giving me a good laugh...
So on to the bad stuff...
I'm on my way home from work. I'm tired. I've been on the road on and off for about 5 hours today. I just want to get home, upload baby pics to my computer, and sleep. So, I'm in the fast lane and I'm stuck behind some idiot going only 55 mph. I finally get fed up and do a totally illegal lane change through a couple of different lanes so that I can get back into the fast lane and passed this guy. I bone out doing probably 85 or 90 and take off. So, a few minutes later I decide to get off one exit early so I can drop by El Pollo Loco to grab dinner, when I see the flashing lights behind me. Dangit! I'm caught.
He had been trying to catch up with me since my little manuever. I totally got my first ever speeding ticket. Crap! My good day was totally tainted. I guess it was my fault so I can't get too mad at anyone but myself.... well except for the a-hole going below the speed limit in the fast lane causing me to get mad. =)
Actually, I got off easy. He only got me for the speeding and left out the part where I was tailgaiting the idiot and where I made an illegal lane change, AND he also only put down 80 mph when we both knew I was going more. So I guess I can't complain too much...

Kaylin Olivia Becerra
Yay baby!
Born 10/2/07 at 2:58 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs., 15 oz. She was 20 3/4" long.
Aw, my baby is finally here! It was so crazy too because right about the time she was born I was dreaming that she was being born.
Yeah, we were a little mad because "daddy" didn't call us right away, but as soon as we saw that kid the madness went away. She is the best. I already love her to death!
Yay baby!
Thank you, God, for our little miracle!

Funniness...
Remember when I wrote about Victor's 1st Birthday and how totally used a rake to score a pile of candy for Ruben? Yeah, well here is the pic to prove it. Muahaha!
And here are a couple pics of Victor and me at his birthday... just for the heck of it:
Come on, Baby!
Man, this baby keeps playing games with us! Sandy's baby, that is. LOL! Last week, we could have sworn this baby wasn't making it past the weekend, but alas, nothing! Come on, baby!
I guess we will be waiting for this Wednesday, October 3, the day of her scheduled C-section. Just 2 more days until my precious baby gets to come into this world. I cannot wait. Just one more joy to have in my life. I am so happy! Yay baby! Hurry!!!! =)
Yesterday, I took Baby to Denny's for breakfast and ran into Juan's parents. I was like, "Where is my baby already?" They just laughed. Then his mom started telling me how worried they are and how much they can't wait for the baby to come. Then we sat there and talked about how stupid Kaiser is (I bet you every minute around this country someone is talking crap about Kaiser Permanente... haha!).
Then--and this is too cute--she started getting emotional on me talking about how she wants Sandy to treat her like a mother and how she wants to be like a mother to Sandy. That made me feel so good and made me have a whole new respect for Juan's family. I am just so relieved to know that Sandy will be going into a family that already loves her so much. Things could have been a lot different and a lot worse, but thankfully, by the hand of God, things are turning out okay for Sandy. That makes me so overjoyed... you don't even know...

One birthday down... One to go...
Kim's birthday was this weekend. We took her to Disneyland, and of course, we had a blast. Baby was a rockstar, as usual. She got on all the big rides: Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones.
Next weekend is Katie's birthday and we are going to the Pirate Adventure show, which is like Medieval Times, but with Pirates. Can't wait. Looks pretty cool...
Anyway, here are some pics of our trip:
( Baby, Maddie, and Me on the famous Tea Cups)
