Real life begins again tomorrow!

Move along folks.....there's nothing to see here!

Okay, here's a picture of Albquerque that I did not take because I am still not back from my trip.



It's the best you're gonna get for right now, because I am out having a good time!

Mother's Day!

We should be taking the train to Santa Fe today to celebrate my Mother's Day!

But first, I have to wish my very own mother a Happy Mother's Day.

Thanks for being a great mom and putting up with all my crap throughout these years.

Hope your day is special and I'm sure I'll be talking to you (that is....if I'm not too busy having a great time)

Sorry this is so lame......but it's all I had time for!

We're gone

Hopefully there are no storms in the area and we are GONE!

On our way to a fun trip in Albquerque!

I was going to post some pictures of how we spent our last Mother's Day in Surfside, but alas......I am completely out of time and need to do some other things.

You'll just have to see them some other time or look back......there was probably a blog post about it!

Wish I had the time

Wish I had the time to do all the things that I'm passionate about.  You know, those things that always get the back burner because there are already several fires burning out of control that need to be taken care of first.

Some days (most days), I feel like I've lost my identity.  I'm just this little robot doing the same old thing day in and day out.  Not really thinking about the tasks because I've done them a million times before.  Not able to do some of the "creative" things I love to do.  My only "creativity" these days is designing a flyer for the schools or a sign for the stores.

Somehow I need to find the time to juggle all the balls in my life and still make time for some of the other things I am passionate about.  Like writing -- this blog specifically.  There are a MILLION things in my head that I want to journalize here.  Not only for those of you taking a peek into my life, but also for me and my family.  To look back on the things we've done and the places we've been. 

So, with that said......my first priority when we get back from our Mother's Day trip....is to start blogging regularly again.  I still have the passion and the desire to write a book.....but at this point in time, I'll be happy with blogging one day at a time.

P.S.  Stay tuned for the next few days while we're gone.....I'm not gonna let you down.  I'm going to do a few days of bloggin in advance so you don't have to wait until I return!  Enjoy!

A brief synopsis

  1. End of the Quarter
  2. First of the Month
  3. Deposit stolen from car
  4. Cris going on a cruise
  5. Taxes due
  6. Going out of town
  7. Trying to buy tickets
  8. Trying to lose weight
  9. Trying to manage life

Ok.  Lots of stories attached to each of those (of course).

 Just maintaining a normal life and trying to work hard and of course living the "ups" and "downs" of life.

Things a little rocky right now.  But things will get better again real soon.

Common sense wins again

Why is it we have to be logical and practical adults and always do the right thing?

Sometimes, it would just be fun to throw responsibilities aside and do something for fun and spur-of-the-moment.

Thus, the reason for this post.

All through the month of February we searched for good ticket prices so that we could go to Fort Lauderdale/Miami for our anniversary. 

No luck.  Nada.

Now this week-- one of the last minute fares is for that exact destination we were looking for.

So......should we go?  Or should we stay?

Big problem:  we were just gone a trip recently and we have another one coming up in 3 weekends.  We're trying to get things caught up and get ourselves on an easier work schedule. 

So common sense has won again.  We have loads of things to get done.

So goodbye to those dreams of hanging out on the beach, going to the Jai Alai, and just enjoying being away from our "real life".

And hello to getting all this work done so that we can enjoy a tropical adventure in the near future.
