Ice Cream

Ice cream

on a hot summer day with my family is the best.

As I’m getting older I’m learning to treasure all the joyful moments I have with my family.

Like I said I love them more than I ever tell them.

Hot Fudge Sauce

Drizzle a small amount of hot fudge sauce in bottom of your dish. Sprinkle a few chocolate cookie bits and then add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Repeat layers and finish with more crumbled chocolate cookie bits.

Enjoy!

Shining over darkness

When others are feeling down, and are not in a happy place in their lives , some will try so hard to bring you down with them. Remember people….

“Misery loves Company”.

Don’t let them. There was so much negativity at work Yesterday. I felt like it was adding to my day. Everything was going wrong. But it was all in my head because I was feeling the misery.

So I didn’t want to share my misery, because love overpowers on everything negative in my life. I love all my readers, just because you guys take the time to read what I have to say. I would not want anyone to have felt a glimpse of my unhappiness. Today seem like things are better.

That's the reason I didn’t blog yesterday... I really wanted too, but felt kind out of place.

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."- Carl Jung

New Monday

The weekend is over (once again).

Hope that it was wonderful for everyone like it was for me.

Now we have another week to accomplish more goals, plans, and create new ones.

"Be bold and do the unexpected".

**********************************************************

So I was able to accomplish several of my weekend plans.

We had fun painting with my boys. They absolutely loved it.

Also did a little shopping.

Saw part of a movie… but didn’t really get to go to the movies.

I spend a lot of time with my family.

****************************************************

The boss is off on vacation for a week. I feel free!

I forgive...

"I forgive all Past Experiences"

I do not have to know how to forgive. All I have to do is be willing to forgive.

The Universe will take care of he how.

Paint the weekend

Its Friday... woohoo!

Saturday…

So I have a couple plans already... Saturday morning do some shopping (of course).

Get dolled up for no reason.
(and have fun with it)

Saturday night.... Work (ugh!) I have to start being nice to my scheduling manger again. I have not worked a Saturday night since... Well I don’t even remember when.

Sunday…
My only day off (Smile/Frown)

I’m going to “TRY” to get up sort of “EARLY” and make breakfast for my boys.


Then I’m going out to buy them paint stuff… and we’re goanna hang out in the back yard and paint some pictures.
(I remember in Kindergarten I use to love to paint, so it’s going to be fun!)I love coming up with some activities for them and enjoy watching them try it.


Then Sunday night… I’m having Dinner with one of my besties and my cousin. Then after were going to go watch 2 movies… I have never done two movies… (ahhhh!) I hope I’ll survive.

Were watching “District 9” and “The time traveler’s wife”…

So Readers… Make plans… have fun… and enjoy your weekend!!!

Living life... {Quote}

"For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit… start whenever you want… you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

10 Things guys wish you knew

I read this on Cosmopolitan August 2009 edition and thought it was very interesting for us girls. I also wanted to know the fellas opinions. Is it true?


1. We think its okay for us to have baggage, but yours still freaks us out.

2. We don’t understand why you like to draw out little arguments. After five minutes, we’ve mentally moved on to Xbox or working out or sex.

3. Quiet confidence is incredibly sexy.

4. Women marry men hoping to change them, and men marry women hoping they don’t change. It’s unrealistic, but it’s reality.

5. When a guy says he doesn’t know why you’re mad at him, deep down, he really does.

6. We’re terrified of ending relationships. We’re always hoping the “fade away” will work for us.

7. Men need a man cave- whether it’s an actual room or just time to decompress mentally.

8. We get self- conscious about hair on our back. A guy’s lying if he says he doesn’t manscape.

9. We like being the hunter/provider. And the last thing we want is for our girlfriend or wife to ask another hunter/provider for help. It’s an ego thing.

10. If you say to a guy “We need to talk” and he doesn’t run, he’s probably The one for you.


Interesting?

SLOW DOWN...

Today started as Ice cube say's… "It was a good day".

In the morning as I woke up, I felt great. Well rested. I told my self “Today is seems like its goanna be a good day”. I woke up earlier than usual, took a long shower, did my hair, and on my way to work all my favorite songs where playing on the radio. I walked in to work on time and found out that my boss was going be out the whole morning. The sun was not shining but that didn’t bother me. It reminded me that fall was truly coming soon which I have been anticipating. As soon, as the clock stroked 12, I walked out to lunch. The sun was too bright and it was so humid outside. On my way out my boss was walking in.

I decide to go eat lunch at home, and pick up some stuff I forgot. Since summer was leaving soon I choosed to make most of the sunny day. I also needed to go to the bank. However, I didn’t want to be back to late because the boss was back at the office. I drove a little bit faster than usual but at a fair speed with traffic. As soon as, I was a mile away from home, I realize the driver in front of me was on the phone. I sped around her; however I didn’t realize a police car on the side was checking the speed with his radar. So yes, he spotted me and stopped me. I got my first speeding ticket!

It was a good DAY…

"Until I wanted to do too much in one day."

Summer where did you go?

Summer is coming to an end....

I can feel the soft breeze starting to develop. I'm excited for fall but sad that summer is leaving so soon. There many trips I didn’t make and would have to re-add to my to-do list and save for next year. I only visit the beach once this summer. However, I took many lovely pictures of my kids and nephews that I would share very soon.

Idea: Pack a lunch and drive to your local park or beach and enjoy the sun… before it’s gone. You can even bring a book along.

A life without love is like a year without summer. ~Swedish Proverb

500 days of Summer

It really was not the love story I expected. It was great. Talk about love and hate... this had it. I notice that many guys went to watch it when their guy friends and I wonder if they thought it was a guy movie... or is it a guy’s movie? Maybe, I didn’t know...lol

Yummy!

This is cute... heart shape patties...


and its also look so yummy... and simple to make...

Lunch Time!

Don't Forget...

Forgetting is harder than people think, or maybe is harder for some of us than others. I can’t really forget, all I do is try to trap all those sad memories or happy memories that I know I'm no longer going to have and lock them away in a small box and push it all the way to the back of my mind. Yes, even those happy memories that I’m no longer going to have because after remembering them they make me sadder than the sad memories. Sad because it hurts knowing that I’m never going to be there again, I’m never going to be with them again.

When I work late at nights and I’m driving back home, and I realize I forgot to keep my box locked, I start feeling the warm tears flowing down my face. I think almost all my past memories eventually start to make me feel sad. However, I’m happy at this point of my life. I see my kids growing and I’m building up memories. Happier memories, memories that I can look back and smile and even laugh about.

Forgetting is hard…

SIGNS

I loved this... I had to share...



enjoy!

Life is Beautiful...

Life is Beautiful- however many of us tend to take many things for granted. Their many small and big wonderful things out there, things to do, things to see, things to experience. It does not matter how you exploit this things as long as you take a chance and make some time to do it.

For those young people that use every weekend to party and get drunk. Maybe you could visit the forest, Death Valley dunes, or the river. There are other trills out there that can get your adrenaline going. It’s better to have some memories that you can remember and maybe even some good looking pictures. Because remember when your drunk or passed out you don’t look all at that great.

So if any of you guys have any good places to visit… share! Cause I need way more memories and experiences to accumulate in my life.

Where I am...

First blog... how exciting. I been blogging on myspace but no one ever read them. Well, that was not at all cool. I wanted a better outcome of what I'm working on. I really thought that people would read them because myspace has my friends. The couple of people that I thought would be eager on knowing some of my opinions, thoughts, concerns. Cuase I'm not good on expressing feeling, emotional distress moments, but I'm great on writting them down. So where I want to be right now...

I would love to be sitting here just blogging away.. writing down every thought that comes to mind. Since lately I have come to realize that having some alone time is great. I have so many thoughts, plans, goal that come to mind. A great way to memorize them and hold on to our great ideas is having a notebook in hand. I have a bigger purse again... so I carry my pen and notebook with me every where I go. When something intresting comes to mind, I just take the time to pull it out and start writing them down. Try it... It's a great way... not to forget.
