Just Call Me......

Just call me a book slut! That's what I have been doing lately--reading books of all sorts! For both school and business! That's my excuse for being MIA and I am sticking with it!! :) I hope that my blog will change a bit in the next couple of weeks or months: new layouts and a different range of topics! But until then we shall stick with the basis: vintage, inspirational words and other fun topics!!!

BREAKING NEWS.........

I totally wish my to-do-list resembled this one above but it doesn't! here is so much to get done and so little time. So let me apologize for being a blog slacker; I am wrapping up the semester and papers are due. As a matter of fact two papers are due but I am taking it one day at time!! So I promise I will post Friday's cocktail and I will dedicate it to everyone who is a lush and make it a double doozy! :) And by the way get ready for Cinco De Mayo post who knows I may have some pics from my Cinco De Mayo excursion!!

Terrific Thursday

Just wanted to say Good Morning, here’s a Cup of Joe to start your day! Have a Terrific Thursday! The weekend is only one day away! Enjoy!

A Free Getaway...Not Really!

When life bring you different obstacles, don't you wish you could just go somewhere and:

But where would you go? Where would you escape to get away from some of the drawbacks that life has to offer?

Magnificant Monday! Well Not So Much!

Magnificent Monday to all!! I hope you feel better than I do because I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and I feel horrible. Can you imagine suddenly being hit with the common cold or better yet the flu? I am taking everything you can possibly name that deals with cold symptoms. I MUST get better, I have a presentation for school and plus I have this thing called life that goes on!! So, I CANNOT stay like this for long! If anyone knows of any home remedies they want to share please do. FYI there is not enough time in the day for me to go to the doctor this week but if I am still feeling like this by next Monday, guess I will make that trip!!

Jones + Soda= Fun

I think of myself as a fun person and I every time I see a Jones Soda I think of fun! I don't know why but I just do! It's quite odd! However, I think if I ever get married I would want to have a few cases of Jones Soda on hand to give the wedding some color, some flavor and a little twist! Just looking at these soda pops brings a smile to my face. Now only, if I can just taste one---everything will be fine!!

Are You A Risk Taker?

I have so many thoughts going on in my head, all productive but they won’t go anywhere! You want to know why? Because I am afraid to act on them, I am pretty sure that some of you may have things you want to do but you maybe afraid of failing or not succeeding. Well it’s okay to be fearful we are only human but we as humans should take risk, take a chance---you never know where that road will lead you until you try! In the meantime while we are building our courage up here is a great quote that may help to inspire you:

Ha! I just crack myself up! Have a good Monday!

No One Said Life Was Easy, Or Did They?

As you all may know I am a graduate student—well I'm a non tradition graduate student; which means I work full time and go to school! How do I manage to do it? Yes that’s what I want to know! It is hard and times do get tough. I am constantly reminding myself that I will get through this, or saying to myself "this too shall past" in order for me to continue pressing forward. Working and going to grad school is hard, the work load is heavier and of course more is expected out of you. But I manage to deal and excel, I am by no means a quitter but trust me I’ve come close! Besides my constant drive, my family and mi novio makes this so easy for me to continue. They are so supportive and behind me 110%. However, my Mr. Everything gets the short end of the stick because we don’t get to enjoy each other as much as we would like, we do manage to have date nights, which I do enjoy! But it’s hard keeping everything together without breaking down. With that being said:
