When I was a kid...
Having a slight moment of nostalgia and hilarity at the same time. Believe it or not, I was a very interesting child and my imagination was ( and continues to be) too big to fit in my body. For example:
When I was a kid…I had not one but FOUR imaginary friends whom were creatively named: Plintín, Gigático, Genie and Coco Rico ( I was a Spanish-speaking kid).
When I was a kid… I...

Monday Mood-lifters November 15, 2010
It’s Monday, yet again. Day one for most things: diets, jobs, school, weekday stress. Instead of dwelling the workload or eminent future, let your mind wander off to pretty things and fun facts.
Mondays aren’t so bad.
My future bouquet ( when I get married….eventually) could potentially be made of brooches like this one. Either that or yellow tulips, I love the cartoon-like...

Children's book lessons for life.
I have been an avid reader as long as I can remember, often getting lost in the pages written by Beverly Clearly, Judy Blume,or R.L. Stine. In my college years, my childhood reignited when I began reading some of my favorite books aloud at the Pre-school I worked for. Seeing these stories through the eyes of an adult lifted the veil on so many values that were engrained in me and inspired me to...

Story time with Mr.President
Some days, you forget that celebrities, politicians and all other prominent figures in our society are at the very core, exactly like we are. The video below really put a positive spin on Mr. President Obama, regardless of flaws ( which we ALL have), he seems like a whole heartedly loving person and terrific father.

Fun Friday: November 5, 2010.
One of my favorite childhood memories was having Fun Friday at school. I remember in third grade, if you had good behavior all week, you’d be eligable for the elite crew who lunched with the teacher in the classroom and got to watch the Price is Right ( still don’t understand why it enticed us so much) So, relive the Fun that comes with Fridays and let your moods be jolly.

Amy Winehouse Ruins my party
I’d be lying if I told you that I don’t enjoy Amy Winehouse’s music. I was a big fan of her album, Frank especially her song, Tears dry on their own. I even dressed as her for a costume party.
But, Why must you make me cry?? Today her cover to ” It’s my party (I’ll cry if I want to)” was leaked and it has been making people cry all over the...

Stay Awake Survival Kit: Office Edition
(My dog, Riley and his pal Rex cuddling on my couch)
Ever had one of those days you practically have to use office supplies to affix your eyelids to your face in order to stay awake? We all have them. So, what happens when you work a 9-5 on a hamster wheel in a cubicle? You must find ways to stay awake and alert and that in itself is a mission. Luckily, I deal with this...

I don't wanna grow up- I'm a Jersey Shore Kid
Well well well, if it isn’t my FAVORITE Halloween Group costume of 2010. Tell me these kids don’t look identical to their over-paid, un-talented, over-exposed (to the sun, that is) elders?
Jersey Shore Jr. is far more frightening than any apocalyptic predictions.
And by the way, What happened to Vinny Jr.? is he still an infant?
That is all, have a good monday

Love beyond the Mouse Ears
In May 2009 we lost one of the most treasured voices in our generation, Mickey Mouse. Wayne Allwine who voiced Mickey since 1977 up until the current Mickey’s Playhouse. The saddest and most touching part of this story is not that our beloved falsetto mouse voice went on to heaven with Walt but, that in real life Allwine was actually married to Russi Taylor who did the voice of Minnie...
