Movie Madness

The Proposal: Very cute movie. I probably wouldn't buy it on DVD, but it is definetly a movie to see at least once. Ryan is adorable and him and Sandra work really well together. The ending is perfect. We enjoyed some ice cream before the movie and three of us split a yummy popcorn with butter (because you only live once)
Fav. Quote: "Marry me because I'd like to date you."

Since the rain is keeping me inside watching TV and movies instead of outside reading and sunbathing, I have put together a list of movies I neeed to remember to see...
1) My Sister's Keeper
2) Transformers (1 and 2)
3) New Moon
4) The Ugly Truth
5) I Love You Beth Cooper

Hmm except all of those are going to be in theaters (except the 1st Transformers) so I will have to save up!!! When did the movies get sooo expensive! Seeing those 5 movies costs over $50!

Getting taken out to lunch by my coworkers and my boss and my boss's boss and my boss's boss's boss (follow that?). Hopefully I dont spill spaghetti sauce all over myself or inhale my meal like I usually do. Time to use those table manners! Wish me luck! Any foods you avoid on a business lunch?

I got sleep! 9 hours of sleep on Monday and 7 hours of sleep yesterday! AMAZING. I never ever sleep and I feel like a million bucks! I would also like to thank Bikram Yoga for this because yesterday I sweat out some toxins and stress and opened up my lungs and whatever the other benefits are. slept. like. a baby.

So instead of my 2 black coffees before 10 AM, I am sipping on ONE delicious Hot Cinnamon Spice tea (still caffinated please don't judge). To celebrate one of my girl's birthdays we are going to see The Proposal and get ice cream tonight (again no judging its a work night and that movie looks so cute!)

I did eat some pre cut apples yesterday that left some neon yellow substance on my desk at work. I am pretty sure I ate cancer. I really hope whatever it was got out of me at yoga.

My family leaves for Greece/France this weekend without me. I hope they have a fun safe trip and buy me lots of "I am sorry you are a real person with responsibilities and cannot take a week off to come on this trip" presents!

ANYWAY the point of this post is that I am wearing one of my new favorite pieces today. A sheer white vest with ruffles around the front. I got it at Marshalls. My fabulous coworker said he loooved my look today and my vest thing is amazing and how great it looks over my black dress with my red heels and my fantasic necklace.
I say, "Thanks I got it at Marshalls!"
I must have said some sort of fashion slur because his eyes got all drooopy and suddenly unimpressed with my outfit!
Why does buying something at Marshalls make it non-fabulous? Does it really deduct style points? If the vest is great, why does the price tag or label matter?

UGH last time I brag about a deal!

My Keepsake Pictures

Thank you again to Allison for being so sweet and tagging me in the Keepsake Award. I have decided to put together a group of pictures that realy show who I am and where I am from.

My parents are from Venezuela. They got married young and moved to the US because my father was awarded a full ride to get his Masters and PHD here. Below is the common "coro" which is like a red flamingo!


Then they had me!


and my sister...


My high school friends will always be a part of my life.


But now I have my favs from college too!


I love my friends and family so much! I am a HUGE goof. It took alot of effort to not put up my ridiculous pictures. I am sure those will come later.

I TAG
Windy City Kelley's

Enjoy girls! I am off to finish my "Phish Food" Ice Cream and watch Jillian get her heart broken and put back together!

Does smiling encourage some sun?

Allison has given me the Keepsake Award!! I am so sorry that I have not had a chance to post my keepsake picture, but I will get to that tonight. Promise.

This weekend was pretty good. No sleep, but that's a good sign right? Too many fun things going on to sleep! I went to bed at 4:30 AM on sat morning, but was woken up at 7:30 AM by one of my guy friends because apparently they never went to sleep and wanted to keep drinking. I am not on their level so I went home and ran 8 miles... still drunk? Excellent. To recover, we had a low key drink and watch tv/movies in our apartment night on Sat. Sunday I went home for Father's day and ate alot of eclairs, boston creme pie, ice cream bars, and a coconut/sugar/sweetened condensed milk/cinnamon concoction (sounds gross, tasted delicous. It feels so good to just eat and discuss life with old friends and family. My mom and I stayed up until 2:30 AM watching The Women and HGTV (House Hunters International- St. Johns) Amazing.

Somehow I made the 7:00 AM train to commute into work this morning in the same outfit I had on yesterday because I was planning on going back to Boston last night, but don't worry I showered. I am a clean person!

On coffee #2 before 10:00 AM and it's raining and I have no umbrella.... again. Wish me luck. Sounds like the beginning of a tough day!

:-)Still smiling though...

Hey, it's OK.

You know how on a sunny day your umbrella is just sitting there, so obvious. Then on a rainy day, it goes missing? That's me today. New hair cut with blow dry, wet very wet. Can't even look cute on my 2nd to last friday here... EVER :-)

So excited to stop working and go back to taking classes. I wonder where my next job will be and what career I will end up sticking to, but for now I am just getting through today, then tomorrow, and so on....

I took a personality test bored at work one day. It was pretty accurate so feel free to check out my results or take the test yourself. Please comment with your results :-)



Finally, I did something yesterday so ridiculous that I almost feel accomplished. I managed to snack on 1,050 calories in nuts and berries last night thanks to Planters and their 8 servings per container. It's ok. I saved the 8th serving for today and continued to eat misc. snacks when I got home. Gross? Awesome? I am not sure :-P

When all else fails, put on a chick flick.

I went for my nice, slow 5 miler yesterday. I intended for it to be relaxing. It was not.

1. Another Red Sox game... why do I still not check their schedule before running past Fenway and being suprised by the MOBs of people (P.S. Did Red Sox fans just get cuter? Like insanely attractive? All tan in their red Tshirts mmm)

2. A limo door HIT ME. Yup. I was jogging past Fenway (checking out the new cuties in town) and BAM a$$hole goes to get out of his stupid limo and opens the door... taking out my legs... thanks man. I don't need those to run or anything.

3. There are no public bathrooms in Boston. This paired with the fact that I have to pee the second I start running is a BIG problem. There is a Dunkin Donuts ever 5 feet in Boston. Don't they have bathrooms? NO. I literally ran 3.5 miles before finding one.

4. The Arthur Franklin Bridge (or w/e its called). Its orange and twisty and connects the Charles River and the Hatch Shell to the Boston Common. For out-of-towners lets just say its a very busy foot bridge. The tall walls and a mix of bikers, walkers, runners, baby strollers, skateboarders, rollerbladers... its amazing people don't break their face daily when they turn the corner. I stress out on it. Before I get to the corner I now snap my fingers. yes I look stupid, but I don't splat into people anymore so you take what you can get people.

5. Doctors in Boston do not look like McDreamy or McSteamy. They look like Ronald McDonald if "Mc"anything. So don't expect to run by the millions of hospitals and find your dream guy. Better luck at Fenway tho!

After all that I somehow lost .5 miles. O well, worse things could happen. I ended my run on Newbury and shopped the rest of my way home. Everything was looking up until the VS girl went to measure me and asked "Do you wear some of our smaller sizes?" You just measured me what do you think? I am not gifted up top. Sports bras don't help. Dummy lady. How can you ask an A if she wears small sizes? I should have said "No I think I wear C's and D's. Why what size am I?" Argh.

Then a nice phone call with my mom added some unwanted guilt into my life because I wasn't sure if I would make it home for Father's Day. He likes to golf all day so how was I supposed to know that rain meant I had to come home because he can't golf???

He's Just Not That Into You cheered me up nicely though. I literally laugh out loud when I watch that movie. Ben and Jenn? Great!!

Puppies

My new addiction. Puppies. Adorable, clumsy, puppies. If only I lived in a pet friendly apartment! I could adopt all these guys and make the world a better place :-(

I wonder if I snuck one in if anyone would notice...
