Glowstix. Day 3.


Who knew how much fun a couple of highlighters and black lights could be?  I went to a co worker's party tonight and had a ton of fun with my girls.  I complain a lot about not having too many quality friends but the girls from my job are the absolute bomb, I adore them.  It was great seeing everyone out of work clothes and drinking and dancing and having fun.  Though the party did end really early and abrupt (1:50 AM... whatttt?!) I can say I had genuine fun.  It's been a while.

As for my day... still no gym. :( I did do some hardcore dancing on Dance Central today but I want to get to the gym soon.  I went to Bloomingdale's with Maribel today and picked up the cutest pair of Betsey Johnson earrings in the shape of red lips!!  So cute!  I love funky jewelry.

Thrift Shop Blues.

I went thrifting today with my little sister and although I didn't find much for myself she scored this pretty sweet dress and belt for less than $15!  The dress is actually floor length but our grandma is going to cut and hem it for her.  I love it!  Definitely a cute and feminine look for the spring time paired with some cute flats I think this should be a spring uniform!




I didn't leave completely empty handed.  I did find these pretty sweet gold knot earrings.

H.A.M.

I am a natural born ham and I've come to figure that the higher my blood alcohol content, the hammier I get.  So now I'll grace you with some pictures of me at my hammiest.




All of those pictures were taken December of last year at my cousin's pre-Xmas party in Brooklyn.  Look at how in love Luis and I look!  Haha that's one of my best friends ever.  Love him to death.  I am such a ham!

Day 2

Was anyone else's March as uneventful as mine was?  I'm glad that March is over, that just leaves us one month closer to the summer!  Today was a pretty good day.  I spent 30 minutes rolling in bed this morning unable to get out of it.  After only sleeping 4 hours your body does a crazy thing and literally traps you in the warm chains of your blanket.  Weird.  Enough said, I was late to work by a few minutes. OH and on my way to work it was raining which then turned into slush which then turned into FULL BLOWN SNOW.  Seriously!  Like a blanket of snow was falling and I felt so helpless.  Needless to say nothing stuck and by the time I left work at 3PM there wasn't a single trace of snow.  Nice trick, Mother Nature!

As for my goals I set today I completed a lot of them.  Woke up early, went to work, thrifted a little with my sister.  No, the gym didn't work out so well for me because I am so exhausted.  I did pick up an Xbox Kinect today with Dance Central so in all fairness I did put in some work on that game.  I love it so far!  I'm probably going to head to bed in a few so I can catch up on some much needed ZzZz's and hit up the gym in the AM with Ashley my sister.  For real this time.

I'm feeling good, universe.

Enough with the want's, more with the do's

Small to do list to remind myself of the small, yet important things that need to get done tomorrow:

- Eat breakfast and take vitamins.
- Pay half of my AT&T bill.
- Pay half of my student loan bill that is overdue.
- Pay Maribel what I owe her.
- Visit a thrift shop with Ashley.
- Make a week's worth of a meal plan.
- Food shop.
- Gym.


Happy April!! Looks like April is staying true to its roots. New York is a very wet state right now. Despite my disdain for cold weather, I actually enjoy the rain.

"And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed, they don't know my head is a mess."

That's me. Dark under eye circles and all, learning to love this life I live.

The end to my childhood.

I had what you could probably consider a scary infatuation with the Little Mermaid. Ariel was my idol. I have pictures dating as far back as 1993 with my little grubby hands gripping a Little Mermaid coloring book. My mom tells me I used to cry for Ariel. I think that's why I love swimming so much today.

Ariel wasn't the only one I was obsessed with. I was literally obsessed with all Disney movies I remember I had this little plastic pink chair that I used to station right in front of the TV and watch movies back to back.

One of my earliest memories of my dad was his triumphant victory on Super Mario on the NES. Yes, I know this is the Super Nintendo but this system was my all time favorite.

Long Island beaches will always be a fond memory. I remember beach trips were entire day trips and we used to take enough food and drinks to feed a small militia. I miss those days.

I had an obnoxious amount of Barbies when I was younger. In fact I remember owning a gigantic Barbie doll house that I could actually hide in and it had a fold out mat with working streetlights and the inside had a bath and an elevator and working lights. It was pretty legit.

Rugrats literally taught me everything I know today.

I, like so many other little girls, was obsessed with the Spice Girls. I actually lost a friend once due to a fight on who was allowed "to be" Posh Spice. She was my absolute favorite, I never lost an argument.
