Today is THANKSGIVING DAY!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying some good food and good times with family and friends today! 

I am thankful for having YOU...all my bloggy friends in my life.
I am thankful because today I ran a 5K and didn't puke nor pass out.
I am thankful because I am learning my way around my tiny kitchen.
I am thankful because the sun is shining and the weather is absolutely amazing!
I am thankful because today I will enjoy libations to enjoy my family a little better!
I am thankful because you are still reading this, ha!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my lovelies who celebrate today!

Now it's time for the weekly Coffee Talk with Natalie Blair from ohemgee...the blog

1. What is your favorite drink called? What are the ingredients in it?

I have several favorite drinks...but my go to is Captain Morgan and Diet Coke!

Patron's Coffee Liquor is super delicious as a shot, but make sure its chilled!

2. How old were you when you first got drunk?

Grandpa used to always let us "taste" his after dinner liquors so I was not drunk as a child...but my first time was in Cancun at 16 with my BFF Zulia. Thing is, Zulia's family owned a few bars in Cancun...guess where I was when I was not beaching it out?

As a matter of fact, I remember having a few of these...

3. Name an embarrassing moment about you or your friends that occurred while drinking.

I've had way too many. But I remember in college I ran away from my circle of friends, screaming bloody murder in the streets...lol

Liquid courage did help me get into the VIP section and chat up with the members of a certain band's party at a club [you didn't hear that from me].

Do you recognize this blue-eyed cutie?

4. What is your favorite party drinking game?

Flip Cup all the way!

5. Are you a happy drunk? Sad drunk? Sleepy drunk? Paranoid drunk? or other?

I'd say I'm a sleepy drunk! And when I'm not sleepy drunk, I'm courageous drunk!

Celebrating [one of] my last single girl night out.

6. Are you a hard drinker (straight liquor, shots, etc.)? Fruity drinker (daiquiris, mixers, etc)? not a drinker at all? or Other?

Hmmm...I guess I'd say I'm a hard drinker. I like my shots (tequila, vodka), whiskey and sprite, and even vodka soda.

I used to enjoy the fruity drinks, but that's just wasting your calories away!

Vodka soda has very few calories...

Get it over with and just get drunk I say!

and now....it's baking time!!!

Pour some wine and everything's fine!

After a recent check of my lovely iPhone photos, I've noticed I've neglected to share with you those little delicious things that just make my mouth water: food, wine, and some tasteful cocktails

I Think I Can Dance....errr Drink

Oh My Lyrical and Contemporary Gaaahhhh! 

It's Nick Lazzarini and Travis Wall from So You Think You Can Dance and All The Right Moves!

Ok...now deep breath in....out....

These boys are as beautiful in person as they are funny and sweet :)

I love meeting "famous" people, and by "famous" I mean those individuals that people other than my close friends recognize, haha! I tend to play 6 degrees of separation, and therefore, everyone's got a bit of fame in my book! Maybe I'll even take a picture with these celebrities if I'm looking halfway decent! Don't get me wrong, I am no paparazzo nor do I chase stars down Ocean Drive on South Beach. However, if the right amount of liquid courage is poured (a.k.a. lots of liquor is inhaled), I can become so uber ballzy, that I will even talk to you like if I'm your new BFF!!

Trust me, I have no business striking up a conversation with you unless I've had a few. Yeah, I know they are regular people, however, I'm somewhat nervously shy and hate small talk because it makes me feel awkward! I know...I'm a little crazy. Therefore tons of liquid courage is highly suggested!

I had already "met" Travis last year at the same club and around the time "Step Up Revolution" was being filmed in Miami, although he was not on set when I was filming scenes in the movie (click HERE to read more on my "movie stardom", totally kidding...but its pretty funny actually). At the moment when my friend Kelly spotted him while dancing, I was like..."SSQQUUUEEEEEEEE!!!!! They are herrrrreeee!!!!!!! *HICCUP* Travis is awesome! But I want Nick!!!! *mini hiccup* He is an amazing dancer too!" So after 4 glasses of wine and 2 vodka drinks just like that, I made BFF's with Nick because I recognized him! He was so hilariously funny the whole time, and I don't recall him ever giving me the "Get this drunk b!tch off of me" look. The tragic part of it all, is that hubby got more out of Travis than I did. So...yeah...maybe I should cool off on the drinks, but we had had wine and tapas earlier that night, and the club drinks were just the icing on the drunky cake...how did I not wake up with a hangover the next day...not sure but it was funny and a super fun night! 

I even heard JLo's dancers were at the club...too bad I can't play 6 degrees with them! ha!

Have you ever met a celebrity? 

Who was it and how did it go?

Hellloooooo Monday!

Ciao lovelies!

I hope your weekend was great and amazing. I certainly had one of the best weeks in a very long time. It was full of love, laughter, sun, car rides, dancing, and some libations ;) I can't wait to tell you all about the days I spent in the Florida Keys last week! 

Some other things I'm dying to tell you about...

* Movie Stars

* Workouts and Smoothies

I hope you make today an amazing start to your week!

What are some of the fun things you have planned for yourself this week?
