The karma tree

WHOA!! i had a wonderful weekend! i was home Thursday night my parents as usual rolled out the red carpet and Lyndsay allowed us to plan her Bachlorette party in MY CITY!! que rico it was a time to remember! When we woke up this morning and started talking i got to thinking something in my recap to emily later.

Karma I shared with Lyndsay how my friend Jenn got delt some bad hands at a few things. Lyndsay's reaction was well perhaps that is karma for a few of her decisions. Lyndsays thought process was well I would never do some of the things she did so thats why the negative happen to her. I simply replied was she wrong with her spirit but correct from a business end?? It always too hard to tell the two apart.

In my recap to emily I explained I don't think Karma is this simple!! Yes what goes around comes around but what about the lessons we just have to learn to grow. Not every time a guy breaks your heart is it karma not every time you dont get a job call back its Karma Sometimes WE need these negative situations to occur to build strength. Look at a tree. It doesn't do anything wrong. It just tries to grow and sometimes its unlucky and gets stuck in a hurrican but if it survives now it is a taller stronger tree then the lil wimpy vine that only made it through the rain storm.

It may seem silly but sometimes even good people need to get some tough situations to occur to them in order to really become stronger better more independent people. Im not the greatest person and Ive been really lucky getting to follow my dreams and have some of them handed to me. And i have also gone through some really difficult and draining times both mentally and physically and emotionally. Did i deserve a few sure but lots of them I think have molded me to be a strong independent women noow thats just about loving life and having a good time :) So the Karma tree makes sense I believe.

feliz cumpleanos papi!

its May 17th!! its my dads birthday! happy 70th papi! yup 70 years my dad has been blessing this earth! my father is the one that gave me my tough exterior and the desire to work hard! he says only lazy people work while they are sitting and if you can't find it and and i can then im going ot hit you with it! My father never has never believed in racism or gender roles. My father has taught me the importance of seeing everyone for who they are. He has reminded me the blessing of forgivness and compasion as we all struggle with different situations and emotions. My father has pushed me in many directions and has forever supported what makes me smile.

He introducted me to the yankees, basketball, horseback riding and the joy of cooking. He constantly reminds me how great my mother is and how proud of me he is. I'd be lost without my dad. he went through so many struggles in his lifetime and has ensured that i didn't go through half. He many not be able to protect me from every situation in the moment like he could when i was 5. But Him instilling honesty, strength the ability to try and try again , my positive attitude and bright smile ( him and my mommy created) IM GOOD !!

life isn't easy for kids or for parents but you make it work! You find the perfect flow and as we get older we appreciate our parents more and looking back im very happy my dad thought i was a little boy and made me chop wood, change the oil in the car and get my hands dirty. I will learn to speak spanish dad i promise!!! Thats the one and only mistake my dad ever made that has impacted me but Hey dad we can't win them all!!! I love you today yesterday and forever and ever thank you for being you!!!

im up and ready to take on the world!!! except my swollen ankle from last thursday night doesn't want me to :( my bad foot again in swollen and cut :/ happen in a club again how ironic! otherwise life is good.

Lyndsay is getting married this time next month and her bach party this weekend is gonna be great! we are going home to see my mom and visit some other high school biddies!!! i can't wait!!! we are going to have a great time here in NYC! Its gonna be so fun to have the Milford girls in NYC! Especially since they never come!

Im gonna go start this fabulous day now!!! xoxoxox

i heart <3 you thats it thats all i got

i love life i love the ppl ive been blessed to meet and the ppl i will come in contact with. Im simple maybe boring but over all i love to just smile and hug my friends and well laughing is part of it all!!

deals on wheels

NYC continues to over whelm and surprise me almost every single day! There isn't a day that's past that i haven't had some sort of surprise or discovery or something amazing has happened. My luck as we all know when its up its sky high when its not well we know i resort to tears the fetal position and chocolate. Well ladies and gents Im up on the cloud right now!! Flying high!!

NYC discovery to make me smile : 252 Broome JIN Japanese cuisine Its perfect its sushi they have happy hour rolls for $3 and above all i love the atmoshere. Its nestled in walking distance to mi casa or just 1 stop on the F to Delancy. Even though the $3 rolls aren't huge I really just enjoy this lil hide away it "so new york" as they say small quiet trendy and the service is good.

NYC makes me smile when i get my hair done in china town for $13 and my back was killing me so the massage i got today with the hair really helped!

i had a Monday off so after hair and sushi i went to whole foods to purchase this tofu the girls have been trying to get me to love. I'm not a fan of the texture so i purchased extra firm! lets see how this goes... How the hell am i gonna prepare it??? I'm on day 35 pescetarian and I'm still into it!! the palate enjoys the change but i need to get more creative now so my new tofu and goat cheese purchases need to jazz things up!

i did almost shed a tear today as i missed out on the jet blue $10 seat sale :( i thought i was hitting it back to the MIA or the chi but its didn't really work out that way i just miss my friends is all NYC i heart you and your over priced wallgreens prices and street food that i can't resist and guys that look oh so scrumptious but i need a beach flip flops and tanning oil

gross

Miami was a blast it went by too fast but i always love going to see my love monsters. We drank on the roof top jet skiied and enjoyed many hugs along with fun in the sun!!!

but what was an insane and gross discovery was the black head that i had!! ewwww i have had it forever!!!! like literally for ever i thought that this was a MOLE yes a mole!!! Maybe at one point i thought it was an ingrown hair but since it never popped and picking did nothing i assumed i grew a mole. NOPE vikki loves to pic so as i returned from the bathroom vik points and asks what is that?? OMG its a blackhead and starts squeezing it! She loves to pick and squeeze and omg it just starts oozing and ozzing!!! Sooo gross so cool in a gross way but the damn thing is lingering. i mean on 3 separate occasions in the last 2 days we have squeezed and pus comes out!! its like never ending gross!!! but im glad a discovered it because the ugly black spot in gone!!!! wooohooooo

xoxox hope you love my gross LOL
