How do you feel about Drake's new album?

December... And a Dating Update

{looks so much better on the iphone}

It is finally here. It has been a year since my whole life changed and I got more serious about school and saving money and working with kids instead of in sales. It's also almost been a year since the whole relationship I had of mine went down the drain and it has been a constant headache for mostly the whole year after, which is now finally over, again.

As we go into the holiday season, I wish I was in Florida with my niece. But I cannot go there until January due to school and work.

Here is what I have been learning in the past couple of months........

-School is also almost done, which I am sure everyone else is very excited about as well, except we finish December 22nd... like who the hell is really thinking about what is on their final on December 22nd? The only thing I am thinking that day is, who the hell do I need gifts for and where in the hell am I going to get them that doesn't have a line out the door where I might die trying to buy it?

-I have been promoting my restaurant that I work at hardcore, and would appreciate it very much if you could go and "like" it by clicking this link on to Facebook: Olives Restaurant

-I have had crazy shit happen with men and "relationships" in the past couple of months since I have been MIA, and its too much stupid shit to write about or even wanting to talk about it, but I can sum it up in some sentences:

-My ex will always be the person that he is and he will never change no matter how good I am to him.
-Portuguese men are my new favorite people
-21 year olds are so fucking dumb
-If I am asking you for help as a desperate measure and you tell me you can be there in an 1 1/2 hours, pretty sure you will not be graced by my presence again
-If you're 45 and stalking me at my bar and having flowers delivered to me and shoving money at me and still I am not attracted to you, give up!!!!
-Albanians are crazy as fuck but so damn hot
-Nice men will always finish last... just like nice girls.


-iPhone touch screens are very difficult, even worse when driving or drinking.

-I made sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving but I burned them and had to redo the marshmallows... lol

That is pretttttty much the gist of life living in my new apartment.

Bring it on holiday season!

cant wait to go back to florida! january.

I am back.

{picture}

i am back.
i took a long break from here due to having to move and being stressed about it and not having any time to do anything but search craigslist for apartments, but I have finally moved and now have some time back in my life again.
i was also suffering from things to write about as well.
I have a couple things on my mind i'd like to write about again though, so they will be up and coming.

i hope all has been well and i look forward to coming back to the blogger world again.

Someone Like You - Adele

gotta love this song... what's it mean to you?

Finally - An Apartment

The 2nd floor... finally.

This search has been horrible. And it sucks even more that it is closer to my piece of shit ex, M, who I am no longer talking to, again, but you know what? I will not go out of my way to see him or talk to him or communicate so as long as he returns the favor, it will make no difference that I live closer. It was supposed to be like that, I move closer and we are done again. SO I just can't wait to get this move over with.. I love my apartment I am in now, but I can't stay here forever I guess, so it is what it is.

I will be able to enjoy life besides having craigslist control it now lol.

Searching for Apartments

is the worst thing in the world!!
And second worst thing, moving.


October is going to be a crappy month.

Beach Beach Beach

Proactiv: Does it work!?

{picture}



obviously like everyone else in the world, I want perfect skin.

And obviously like half of the world, it is just not happening for me.

I have tried so many different things and I wouldnt say that my skin is HORRIBLE... but like, i want it to look like the picture above!

Now, i just ordered proactiv because i believe the commercials lol and i want to believe it will make my skin look like the above.

So, I want to know.... have you tried it?! Does it work? Tell me tell me!!

Remembering 9/11

Never forget.

Egg Donation

{picture}


i havent looked too too much into it yet, but i have considered it before. but now that i am looking into it, if i were to get chosen, i think i would do it. i dont mind if there is a kid of there that looks somewhat like me that isnt mine.

How do you feel about this? Do you agree or disagree? Would you do this?

He isn't perfect.

I was wrong.

i was wrong. people dont change. although i knew i would be wrong, but i wanted to at least give it a try to make sure, but thats what i get.


unfortunately, no matter how good you are to someone or how hard you try or everything you do for them, it makes absolutely no difference because if they don't care about you and only about themselves, it will never work.


i am sorry i wasted my time again.


fuck it. 

A Cute Pregnancy Announcement

a really cute idea!

Here's to long weekends!

{picture}



i cannot believe its september already, and i have to go back to school already next week. blah! although i do love the fall, i hate what comes after it. the time with summer is always so short and so hot that when fall comes its a relief but i wish fall lasted as long as winter and then it was spring.

i hope everyone has a nice labor day weekend. do something fun and summery to end it :)

Hurricane Irene

west side highway nyc

How were you effected by the hurricane? I really didnt see or hear much of it. I stayed with M in the Bronx and it was pouring rain and the most we did was run down to the Irish bar and drank, but on the way back we got soaked from running in the pouring rain! It was good times though.

Although today I did get into my car and there was a puddle of water in the drivers seat floor....How that got there I have NO clue..

Anyone else have any damage?

Earthquake in New York City?

Thats about all that happened or so i saw in DC... no damage in New York City...but still. ARE WE IN CALIFORNIA?!!?!

We get winter -- don't give us this earthquake bullshit!

I did not feel it, i happen to be in Bed Bath and Beyond at that time and honestly if it did happen where i was, I was looking at sheets and comforters so there was no way I really would have noticed.

Right before this all happened there was a fire at my preschool, so we had to bring the kids out from nap time so that was crazy...

very interesting day!

And a Happy Weekend to you...

{picture}


Although the weekend this week is not my favorite because I am working every night at the bar, i hope everyone else gets to enjoy their weekend.

sorry i have been MIA, the summer and life has taken over and i havent had time to write about anything, and i havent been home much.

between my ex now not really ex but more so the present but not dating (whatever the hell that means), work and my other work, and starting to look for apartments for october, lifes been busy. All i want to do is go back to the beach and just lay out haha

looks like come end of october i will be getting a 1 bedroom apartment.. unless i can find someone to live with, but i really am not going to just settle for someone. and i COULD live at home... but my choices are the cat room or the basement...... and its far from my job(s), friends and school. ehhhhhh.

have a good weekend xo

Forgiving and... Forgetting?

{picture}


is this possible? are you able to forgive someone you loved who has hurt you? are you able to be with them and get along and make things work and forget?

i am in the process of working with this right now and and even though i want to forgive and move past everything, i my jealousy keeps getting in the way, when the things that happened when we werent together, i can't really be jealous of because i was doing my own thing too and pretty much in the same exact way.

my real question is, how do you put aside jealousy so that it doesn't ruin everything?

especially when the other person is being honest, and even though i don't fully trust him, i know he is being honest based on things he shows me. its so hard! when did it all become this hard?

Yellow

{picture}

i have more and more been liking the color yellow and i really need to start buying some new clothes.
but i have SO many old clothes and I have no idea what to do with them. Is there anywhere that I could sell them, even if its just like $5 or so?

any ideas, besides a tag sale.. because that is next! lol.

Pretty Flowers

{picture}

lovely flowers... it reminds me of it being almost Fall... which I am and am not excited about. I love wearing sweaters and all that stuff, but then again, i know what is coming after that.

are you looking forward to the fall?

Summery Hand Bag

Nuichan has this really cute bag at their Etsy shop that I found and I wanted to share it with you!
It is all so cute and summery and I have been trying to find a nice cute summer bag and this is right up my ally.

Check out their shop on Etsy. This bags $29.

Don't Mind the Noise

another reason why i love new york... this is so classic.

Bikini Waxing

{picture}

I did it.
I swear to you this was worse then getting ANY of my tattoos. No bullshit.

Has anyone ever gotten this done? I need to hear your experience.

It wasnt that the lady sucked or anything either, it was just that painful. It was also my first time and I dont know if I can ever bring myself to doing it again omg!

Please tell me your thoughts!

A Beach Vacation

{picture}

Finally I have a weeks vacation off! I am down the Jersey Shore with my family and we are literally right on the beach. I am SO excited about that. It is soooo nice. I got here this afternoon and I cannot wait to go out to the beach tomorrow! I will probably drive on down to Ron John's Surf shop tomorrow or so and get some clothes (love that place and there are not many of them)

It will be nice to hang out with my family and then some of my friends are coming down this weekend to go out and partayyyy. It should be a good time!

Anyone going on vacation this month? August is usually the vacation month.

Jersey Shore, Season 4, Italy!

Get More: Jersey Shore, MTV Shows

Love it! Watch this, this season looks so good!! And it starts August 4th when I will be down the shore! Wooohooooooo. I am not leaving the shore until I take a picture in front of their house or at the tshirt store or with one of them. lol.

wish me luck i leave on Monday!

It can't always be sunshine and peaches

{picture}

it had to happen.

21 years old, is not for me... too immature and it couldn't work. so cute, but not for me. i tried and it was not getting anywhere. I deserve someone who tries for me, makes an effort for me, and not just when i drive to them or go see them or when its within a 5 mile radius that is only convenient for them.

although i am really sad about it right now.. i wish this feeling would just go away. i dont want to feel bad.

free of men, it isn't that bad of a feeling. only at certain times, but not terrible...

i will deal with it i guess.

Hand Written Letters

{picture}

i got a handwritten letter the other day from my ex. it was probably one of the most meaningful things I have gotten in a very long time. I asked him to write to me when he was away for the month, to see what he would come up with when i realized that no one had written me a letter like that since I was in high school or so and dating my high school boyfriend.

it is on a very different level to receive hand written things now because of the communication that we have nowadays, especially with texting and facebook and all that crap.

have you received a hand written letter recently?

Have you ever seen a volcano?

I never had. Until I went to Costa Rica. This is Volcano Arenal. It is still active and at night you can see the lava faintly coming out of the top. A very crazy awesome experience. Not every day can you go and see a volcano.

Costa Rica was one of the best vacations of my life and I have been since wanting to go back. Their motto for the country is "Pura Vida" and I have been in love with that ever since and I have just recently gotten it as a tattoo on my side. Everyone that I met there really cares about their life and how to make it better and be happy. They can live off of nothing and still be happy. It is very amazing to see especially coming from New York where we have everything here and access to everything at any time.

They even paint their palm trees...

Both coasts are beautiful and amazing to see, especially when you rent a car and drive across the country. Although it seems like a crazy idea and dangerous, as long as you have a map and a spanish dictionary, you are good to go. I would recommend it to anyone who goes to Costa Rica definitely to rent a car, you can go so many more places and see so many more things this way.

If you have never been to Central America and want somewhere to go, go to Puerto Viejo Costa Rica or Jaco. They are both very nice places and they are also very safe.

Have you ever been?

Happy Friday

{picture}

have a lovely friday evening everyone... i know it is rather hot all around the country today, so try to stay indoors or go swimming! (dont go to work like i have to!)

enjoy the weekend :)

My Niece

And I love her sooooooooooo sooooooooo much.

I was so sad to leave. I will be back there in September. Ugh i love this little munchkin!!

Inside Your Heart

{picture}

‎"Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people – they always go away sooner or later. You can’t hold them anymore than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you can really have are the ones you hold inside your heart."

An Un-Traditional Wedding Dress

{picture}


How do you feel about the non-white wedding dress? Will you only wear white? Or would you consider something else?

I honestly will be wearing white, because it's the only day i'll wear a white puffy dress like that ever lol so i will take advantage...

What about you?

I Just Love This.

{picture}

i dont know why, i just do.

Florida Round 2

{picture}

I am finally going to meet my niece! She's 1 month old and it's her mommys birthday this weekend. I CANNOT wait!! It is a much needed vacation and I am so so excited to meet this little girl :)

I will post pictures when I get back!

No Kids Allowed Restaurant - Thoughts?

A restaurant in Pennsylvania is banning kids under 6 years old from coming to eat there. What are your thoughts on this?

I can understand where the owner is coming from, but honestly? In this day and age, are you REALLY doing that well that you can pick and choose who your clients can be? Most restaurants I know are begging for business, and this guy can just turn it away?

So I dont really see it from that stand point, and I work in a restaurant and it really isnt that obnoxious, yeah its a little more work, but hello? People with kids can't go out to eat for 6 years with their kids because of assholes like that?  No thanks.. I think its just wrong.

Gimme your thoughts on this.

Cute Summer Tote

Cute summerish tote :)

Car Problems

{picture}


I have been having the most ridiculous car problems ever this summer. I feel like a lot of other people have as well, but I have needed a lot of help in the car department lately from overheating, to breaking down, to stalling... you name it!

Good Sam ERS is the best place to go and they offer a bunch of different services like 24 hour customer service dispatch (VERY important, you never know when your car will break down), no mile restrictions OR expense limits, coverage in the US Canada and Mexico, and they are the nation's largest RV specific dispatch and RV Repair Network for motorhomes, 5th wheel and travel trailers (great if you are going on vacation with your car or rv or motorhome!).

If ever in need of help, that site is the best one around that I have found and I would highly recommend checking it out to see what kind of deals they have, especially the summer offer they have, and even more because cars are overheating more in the summer with this heat.

Have you had car problems lately?
