Ello there!

So this weekend definitely brightened my spirits from this past week. It wasn't a bad week but it just wasn't a great one. Very difficult to say the least. BUT behold the weekend proved to be a success! Kor came down for the weekend and spent the whole time here, which was grreeaaatt. We finally had a cute little date night tonight, god knows how long it has been since we did that! It has just been a crazy busy couple of months and every time he would come home from school we both would be way too tired.

But that all changed tonight! : ) We went to this cute little place called Tradition and went shopping for some stuff I needed for christmas [handmade gifts this year! whoop] Got to Michael's and another great surprise! Not only was half the store on sale but some guy that worked there gave us an additional 15% off my entire purchase! HOLY CRAP was I happy! Only spent 29 dollars! Cheap date, I know ; ) We got something quick to eat and then headed back home to build our $8 gingerbread house we scored at Michael's as well. Watched a movie and now I am relaxing while he is in my brother's room reading and falling asleep. Unfortunately he has to leave early tomorrow but he will be back soon enough.

I should be getting to bed too. Working on some secret presents/stocking stuffers for my family and than probably hitting the hay. Super tired and have to work tomorrow : P Last week of school as well which is freaking sweet!! CANNOT wait to be done.

Here are a couple of photos from this weekend and that I have been meaning to post. Hope everyone had great weekend! A new week to start fresh : ) Goodnight!

Aloha...

Woo haaa Wednesday! So today has been a day, went to work and got home later than I wanted to. A very busy week so I really won't be able to post what and as much as I want. But I do promise this weekend I will do a mega, awesome and long post with stories, photos galore! 2 tests in the morning and a house to clean, oh what joy!

Hope everyones week is going a little better than mine, I will be back soon!

It's been a Monday

today to say the least. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night so I am absolutely exhausted. I have a lot of school work to catch up on so right now I am just posting to say HI! and I will be back with stories, pictures and some laughs! Hope everyone's week started off a little better than mine!

Lots of Love!

Thank you..

Everyone in my life,

Thank you.

Thank you for: always being there; being able to make me see good in people; helping me through tough times; showing me who I really am; making it easy to let you go; being a true blessing in my life!

I cannot believe today is Thanksgiving, boy am I excited!!

: D This is my favorite time of the year [ of course more enjoyable somewhere where the "norm" in november ISN'T 85 degrees ] BUT today is a true blessing. It isn't hot, a little humid but that too shall pass. I couldn't ask for a better day for today! Nothing exciting so far but I do need to go get ready... soon of course.

Last night I got to spend Thanksgiving Eve [i created a new holiday, if you didn't celebrate there is always next year silly] with my 4 year old niece. We made s

mores, made hand turkeys, decorated my sister's apartment [w/ said hand turkeys and some paper loops!] and watched Cinderella. I couldn't have asked for a better night. AND since she had eaten before hand, I had to make myself some dinner... and oh boy did I treat myself. I was running through Publix trying to find SOMETHING I was in the mood for to go with pasta and chicken. Millions of possibilities, I know, but I wanted to try something out of the ordinary.... so I did!

I sauteed some onions in a pan, cut up my chicken in bite sized pieces. The best part you may ask, I sauteed some pears with the onions AND made a kick ass goat cheese cream sauce. Heaven?! YES! Put it over linguine, and BAM! Heaven in a bowl. Holy moly it was delicious, I do have to say there was something missing but it was divine. I have leftovers so that might be my light [haha!!] lunch before turkey turkey turkey! Oy vey, I'm dreaming about it now...

If you are up for it, I would definitely try that out. There really isn't a recipe but it included: small yellow onion diced, boco pear diced, chicken breast diced [vegetarians can substitute something of their liking or sweet baby peppers goes very nice as well!] goat cheese, heavy cream, salt pepper, little garlic, and cooked linguine! mmm

mmmmm so delicious please do try!

Mine turned out looking like this:

Yes, I was smiling. That was before I ate it! Very goood : )

So enough about food right!? mouth watering yet? Sorry about that.

Well anywho I should get going and get ready. I was supposed to have already left for my hubs house, WHOOPS!

Have a great holiday everyone!!!

new post!

coming tomorrow! its way too late and i have a busy busy day ahead of me!

errands, work, gym and babysitting! might not sound like much but that will be taking up my whole day!

be back tomorrow!

good night and happy early turkey festivities!!

This has been odd

to say the least... a very odd last couple of weeks or so. I think it might be my new prescription from my doctor. Very moody and short tempered, and i do NOT like that! I try and stay away from that as much as possible.

But I did get some fresh ink on thursday, SEE:

Isn't it just wonderful!? I had this idea to get betty boop about a week or two ago when i was out to dinner with my hub and best friend but it didn't happen that night so I have gone back and talked to my artist, Jared. He did the piece on my arm [ my mixer ] and I love it all so far. But I got this for my grandma, who by the way told me it wasn't me fair that I was getting betty boop and she wasn't, she's so awesome ha ha. It means a lot to me to have a piece of her with me at all times.

Well anyway, it has been a very weird week. Just been feeling down and out, just a little stressful i guess. BUT I am going to try and turn that around this week!

For now, I am going to go relax and do some laundry! Have a great weekend!

my little cave

is where I have been for almost the last week.

came down with some sinus back-up saturday and I am still trying to fight it off..

I will be back soon. Promise.
