Thirty so far.....

To be honest with you, I began this blog site when I turned thirty to simply document my life at thirty! 

well....two months later!! lol  ummm similar but with heighten alert!   Sounds right!  Def more of a sense of alertness at all times.  For many reasons, one I'm new to the area, yeah I still consider myself new especially in new areas I have no idea with relevancy where I live or how to get home!!  But yes always alert!  A Lil explorer Ive become.   I truly have. As I usually do to new environments: I do venture out and explore just so that I wont be in the aforementioned predicament of me not knowing how to get home, aside from a Cab! 

I got here (Chicago) at the end of fall, as the winds were picking up force and swooshing away the fall palate of yellow, red, orange, green, purple, browns....a rainbow of fall!  Soon the cold winter came and it did not disappoint.  Setting a new record with the Blizzard of 2010!  Insane!  And now all the April Showers!!  Crazy seasons here! All which do not happen in Texas whereI am from, or at least the way these seasons slowly fade into one another! Just as I remembered them in my childhood growing up here!

Summer is now about to get here and I need to really bust a nut and get a movin' to a fitter self!  This month of May.........I VOW and RESOLVED the following;

to lose 12 lbs

eat healthier

run once a day

lets hope all goes ok!

summer has to be funner if I'm healthier, right?



Feliz DRINKO de Mayo

FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO!!  ......h

as a French instructor I do have a problem with today's holiday...lol the French lost to a battle with Mexico and now it has come to be known an excuse to get drunk, usually downing some delicious Ritas alongside some nice crispy chips and salsa and queso....actually sounds like I should go out for a drink!! lol The only problem is that I'm in Chicago.  No big celebrations like we do in Texas. No happy hours to go to and get dollar ritas! and free nachos!! ugh!  But yes...Happy DRINKO de Mayo!!

Lol!

What a week! what a week! Hell where did April go? Like for real? Where did April go? Grant it that most of the month was spent under an umbrella as the ever so popular saying "April Showers bring May Flowers!!"  did not disappoint! and without a doubt these flowers are everywhere and are about to bloom any day! Maybe for Mothers Day this Sunday!  Another holiday!  Insane!    But preShoutOut to my Mom and sister: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!  Both you rock! Mom you are the best cook ever and sister clearly you are the winner of all sisters! Happy Mothers day!
