Story of HIS life...

I saw this cartoon on Facebook and I just laughed my ass off! 

This is totally hubby and I every single time we watch a movie at home together.

I'm known to fall asleep everywhere I go...movie theatres, restaurants, and even on top of the speakers at the clubs...yeap!

Thankful Thursdays and Coffee Talk!

HELLO THURSDAY!!!

I cannot believe its finally Thursday! This week has gone by so fast, while at the same time, things appear to be moving sooooo slow!

For many years I had always had something to do once I got home, whether it was bringing work home, going to class, or doing homework. I feel that this is the first year where I can actually relax. That I don't feel I'm behind on something! It's the best and weirdest feeling in the world!

I guess I'm used to being busy...thing is, I need to use that pent up energy to go to the gym. lol....that hasn't happened like I want it to, but IT'S HAPPENING!!!

I'm so thankful that my perspective on life has made life easier and that little light shines down on me!

So now...this is what I do when I get home:

So now that you've wished you were at the beach...chill out and relax. Grab a cup of coffee or make your favorite iced tea to read Natalie Blaire's Weekly Coffee Talkx4! 

1. You're at Target or Walmart, what's the first department you hit?

Woooo...Target...that's my drug! I'd say I hit the $1 section! I'm a sucker for it! I end up looking for fun little trinkets I can give students as prizes. I took hubby with me on my last visit and he had a blast and found fake moustache stickers in that area. I think if I went to Starbucks first I'd probably go a little haywire with all of the caffeine and just spend!!

2. What are 3 items you always have stocked in your home, fridge or pantry?

I guess toilet paper, Weight Control Oatmeal, and deodorant?  I must wipe my booty. I must have my breakfast that will keep my belly full all morning..it's embarrassing when my tummy is hungry when I'm working with the students!

3. Do you prefer shopping alone or with others? Why?

I like grocery shopping alone. I like taking my time and looking at prices and what not. Even when I go with friends to shop for clothes, I feel rushed, then again, I love when they can give me an honest opinion about a not-so-swanky dress, ha!

4. What's the biggest splurge you've ever made?

Splurge? Maybe spending like crazy amount of money for some crazy Zagat rated restaurant.

5. What's the best deal you've ever snagged?

Best deal? hmmmm...I'd have to agree with Natalie, e.l.f. make up had some awesome deal where I got tons of make up for $1.

Chickenbugger say what?!

Hello my little chickenbuggers...

I'm so sorry I've been MIA. The thing is that since school...ok, "work" started in August, I just haven't had much time to come on and write much! I feel like a horrible bloggy friend :(

All in all, life is going great! I can't complain. Although maybe that little big spat hubs and I had last night. We aren't the perfect couple, but dude, we sure try to argue/fight the "right" way. Notice the word "try" there, ha!

I think I'm using too many "quotation marks"!!!

Anyway, I needed like 3 different breathing breaks to clear my head and not poke him in the eyes a couple of times. Aahhhhh! You know that it's love when you fight because you love each other.

Well, now onto some other stuff that is cooler than freaking cool...
I'm going to one of the many Oktoberfests this Friday! Woooheeee! Drink till I puke I say!!!! ....NOT!  I think I deserve a night out, for reals!

I've been a really good girl at work....that's if you don't count the many times I arrive late (Miami traffic sucks the big cheese!!!) Either way, I'm planning on giving myself some time to write some reports at home this weekend. Ever since I lost my USB, all I do at work is look for files in different emails that I can recuperate!

And oh my sweetpuffs, I am in love with Emma Stone. 

via

My girl crush is so amazingly awesome!

I think I've watched Spiderman, Easy A, The Help, and Crazy. Stupid. Love. oh about....1,200,319 times!

And don't forget...

Inked

Oh Adam Levine...how I love looking at thee!

I have always wanted to get a tattoo, however, I'm just completely undecided as to what I want and where I would want it. I just know it has to represent me and nobody else.

At first I looked different symbols in Chinese, Arabic, and Japanese that described a Dancer, to dance, or love. Next I looked into butterflies, but I never really felt close to those either. However, these searches have caught my attention...

Do you have any tattoos? What do yours mean?

Coffee Talk: Part Deux

I love getting together for Coffee Talk with Natalie Blair! This is week two of this fun adventure and I think I am liking loving it!!!

1. What is your favorite kind of coffee? Iced? Hot? Frappe? Or are you a tea kind of person?

Oooooh... Well, I love my coffee iced or hot. My go to coffee is Starbucks' Grande Skinny 3-pump Mocha. 

I just downloaded the Starbucks App to my iPhone and it is AWESOME! I can save my drinks the way I like them, and if I'm going to pick up coffee for my friends, I can include their drinks orders too! That way I never get it wrong.' My favorite Starbucks seasonal flavors are Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Caramel Brulee Latte. Before Starbucks, I hated coffee....thank you Starbucks!

I did however stumble upon a Caribou coffee shop in one of my DC trips and their Mocha was delish too! If they ever open a store up in Miami...hmmm, at least I have their K-cups to keep me happy at home ;)

2. What is your dream computer/laptop? And what kind are you using now?

I don't really have a "dream" computer/laptop. I must say though, that my MacBook Pro is pretty freaking AMAZEBALLZZZ!!

3. Have you ever regretted a blog post? What did you say?

I have written things in the past that I have deleted. During that time I didn't really have a lot of followers so the blog was mostly for me. And although I wrote my feelings out, certain things I wrote, I did not want these to be a part of me. I know...accept who you are and blah, blah, blah. I did, I just didn't think I was in the right place at that time :)

4. What is your favorite book?

I am a non-reader, although I know I should probably pick up a book and my reading glasses! I guess I could say that my favorite book(s) are the Harry Potter series. I have YET to visit Hogmeade and Hogswarts in Universal Studios! 

5. What's in your bag? 

Gah...you really want to see? I have receipts, my cosmetics bag with my fab Falsies mascara, lip gloss *pucker up*, pimple cream, wallet, advil for that time of the month, keys, cell phone, Starbucks gift card, and my healthy snacks (I am always on the go).

You mean you've read all this and haven't linked up with Natalie Blair yet? WHAT?!

DO IT!

20 Years and 3 Thousand Miles Away

I have to say I am a lucky lady.

via

How is it that after 20 years and 3 thousand miles away I am still able to stay in contact and see my childhood friends. I have to say this is pretty cool.

When I first moved to the States, I'd write and send them letters, talk on the phone every so often. Well, now we have Facebook and WhatsApp so the distance just gets smaller every time!

Luckily, Gaby moved to Miami a year after I did. We went to the same middle school so we got to hang out a lot. A few years later, Marysol went to college in Miami while living with her sister. Unfortunately, I went away to college, so I didn't see her as often as I would've wanted to. But in between Micaela and Claudia would always come to visit.  To top it off, Claudia moved to Miami about 2 years ago, so although now we are all older and have more responsibilities, we love getting together at the drop of a hat!

This week I got a surprise phone call from Claudia, telling me to drop everything because Micaela was visiting and we would be getting together tomorrow!

Tomorrow!? Well...OF COURSE!

Fast forward, heavy thunderstorm and a deluge falling on top of Gaby and I....and off we go to meet the crew in South Beach. No, we didn't go clubbing, some of us have children, a job, and a 1 hour car ride to get home. But we did share some drinks and a Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate :)

AndiePants, Micaela, Gaby, Emilia, & Claudia

Did I mentioned Micaela brought her little sister Emilia who I had not seen since she was crawling and in diapers? MAN, I felt old!

Have you moved away from your hometown and still keep in touch with old friends?
