Blah Blah Blah

It has been one of those Mondays.where its all blah blah blah. I overslept this morning, which made me get to work at 1p.m., which wasn't that bad, but this period is beating my ass this month (I know it's a TMI, but who cares?). The good thing about this, is that as the week goes on, it is going to be hella busy and I love busy. But my true wish at this moment?
I wish I could go home, open all of the windows and let the fresh breeze come in and lay on my couch for hours and watch tons of movies with ice cream and wine. Thats my dream come true at this point, but instead I have class and then I have to fold up the clothes I washed a week ago that I have been dreading folding up. Ugh...if only we could escape for just a day..xoxo

My Results

I finally have my apartment back to myself and I didn't realize how much I love my own space. I had a friend who relocated back to Huntsville stay with me for about a month and it wasn't too bad, but honestly, I am just too much, because I am borderline OCD and I love things in order. Anyways, back to my topic, now that I am by myself in my apartment, I am feening to make things and the first thing that I made was the Guacamole recipe from the Glamour magazine (August 2009). It was really good and spiced very well. Mine is a little liquidy, but still tasty. I am impressed; I may never buy store bought again!

It doesn't get any more beautiful than this...

I am having a little bit of an addiction with Miles Davis. He is an amazing musician and makes me smile with EVERY single song. Just makes beautiful music and he makes Jazz so worth while! One of the best albums is Seven Steps to Heaven. He makes me happy!

I am feeling sad today. I think because it is a rainy day here and very very gloomy, and if it were up to me, I would go home without ANYONE there and lay in bed and turn off the horrid blackberry. I need to be cheered up. I am even being mean to the beau and he isn't doing anything. I think I need a detox from everyone for like a day. I would love some flowers, some cheesy fries, a coke and a good movie. That would be amazing, but since it is back to reality, thats not going to happen. Ugh...yucky day!!!

On a better note...

Ok, so I am so excited because Leah will be starting ballet in a week. Yay! Its her first extracurricular activity and she is excited and so am I. I wanted her to be in something elegant and fun at the same time, so I looked online and I am impressed with it all. So I get to spend my weekend buying tights and shoes and leotards. I am really excited for her and I cant wait for recital time! Yippee!

Such a sad day (not really)!

Today kinda made me wanna cry for many reasons:

1. Because it is a new week and I just want onw day by myself to eat and drink whatever I want and watch movies and really all my current magazines...(maybe I will be spontaneous this week!)

2. My Leah started school today. I am very happy, because she was so excited and something about seeing my baby in uniform makes me feel so freaking proud. She started 2nd grade and I wasn't there and that made me a little sad. I have always been there and now to not be there feels horrible. But we did have a semi-girls weekend and I made her feel special; I got her toes done, we went to lunch, and we did major back to school shopping. So heres to an amazing day my love. Mommy loves you so much, you are the joy of my day, so I will not cry!

3. I woke up with a horrible headache and I have been getting them more frequently. I have gotta stop stressing about everything!

4. I am graduating in less than 4 months and my mom told me last night that she will not be attending, because of the fact that it falls on the Sabbath (Saturday) and it really hurts my feelings because I have been working so hard. I want everyone to be there and it kinda makes me sad.

Pics from Atlanta and Chattanooga

Me and babe went on a mini vacay a few weeks ago and had an amazing time. He had the opportunity to meet my sister and her husband and he also had the opportunity to meet one of my besties and her man. It was wonderful and we really needed that personal time together. When we went to Chattanooga, we went to the Aquarium, we went to lunch, and had ice cream after. That night we went to a Daquiri bar downtown Chatt. On Saturday, we relaxed and then headed to a comedy show in ATL on Saturday evening, which was amazing and very funny! My friends loved him and it was really a good time and much needed!

This is what I am making this weekend!!!

For the last 2 weeks, I have had the strangest craving for guacamole ever and it has been stronger than ever!!! And I love it with tons of tomatoes and it is perfect with yellow rice and grilled corn (perfect for the vegetarian). I found this recipe in the Glamour magazine for September 2009 and I am excited about it. I am going to make some for me and the beau with some Bud Light Limes. Perfect summer fun!!!

Just venting a bit...*

Ok, so I have been thinking alot about love and relationships for the last week (I know it has nothing to do with this blog, but since it's my blog, its all fair game). I am so aggravated with everything having to do with love. So many relationships and marriages are crumbling and alot of it has to do with cheating; now that makes me more upset more than ever. It makes me mad, because I am so sick of men wasting women's time with their cheating shit. They are being selfish and not thinking about who is affected in the meantime. Men don't realize how emotionally beat down and bitter women become because of this. It hurts and it hurts really bad. I remember when I went through that with my last boyfriend and it took me at least 9 months to recooperate just from everything. When I got out of that relationship, it made me question eveyrthing I was. I felt ugly and fat and like I was the scum of the earth and I compared myself to everyone else and it was such a bad place for me and it was painful. It pains me to have to see people go through what I went through because it is so hard and now it is so common.
The funny thing about this, is men wonder why women are crazy and bitter and they dont realize that they made us this way with their cheating antics and lies. At the end of the day, everyone wants honesty and to be with someone who genuinely wants to be with them, who truly loves them, in the midst of ups and downs. Women are unique, beautiful people who contribute to the way the world is run and we deserve so many amazing things and respect. We want to be loved genuinely for who we are and unconditionally.
Let me give this message to all the men out there: Don't waste our time, if you don't want us or you know you have other things going on that may cause you to hurt us, please leave us be. We have enough issues, we dont need you being one of them. Be honest with us, because regardless of how mad we are, we can respect the honesty. PLEASE!!! You don't realize how many women are broken and damaged because of you! There are some good women out there, if only you could give us the respect that we need.
* This message is for women, because I feel like addressing the man. I know women do the same things, but today I am taking up for all my women, because we deserve it!

Let's talk about heartwarming!

I went this weekend to see Julie & Julia and let me just say...amazing! Such a wonderful movie and I would go back and see it again. First off, it is written by one of the best directors, Nora Ephron, who directed movies such as You've Got Mail (my favorite movie) and When Harry Met Sally. All her movies are heartwarming. Eveyrthing about this film was great and on top of making me hungry, it made me want to cook (only if I had time). The storyline of this movie was amazing and it is a definite buy movie when it comes out. One thing I loved about the movie is that both Julie and Julia had men that were amazing and stood by their side in the midst of everything. I want that and for now, I actually have that and my beau truly makes me happy and gives me reason to be exactly who I am. I appreciate him also for everything he is to me, which is an amazingly, stunning, gorgeous, great father, makes me laugh kinda guy and I just want to say to him, I Love You babe!

Oh Summer...how much I love thee!
