Google+ Hangout With President Obama.

2012-02-01T02:56:00.000-05:00

I stay away from politics on this blog but I saw this on Google+ and thought why not. This is the first completely virtual interview from the White House. I find it so cool that we are able to do this. I really enjoyed the last 5 minutes or so of the video because they were personal questions. I don't know about you, but I like when the presidents have a non political conversation. You get to see their sense of humor etc.

It was 16 years ago, I went on a blind date but I took my sister with me. We met...

Fairy Tales vs. Reality

2012-01-31T18:08:00.001-05:00

Guest post written by my buddy Alice Mays I can’t wait to say those two little words that every little girl dreams about from the day she is old enough to play with dolls. “I do.” I’ve dreamed about finding my prince charming and marrying him. Now those dreams have become a reality. It’s just like Cinderella. Except they don’t show Cinderella and Prince Charming trying to compromise on major decisions such as registering for dishes,...

This is Kelly Clarkson newest video. I have been a fan since the beginning. I really like this song as well as the video! This is my newest anthem, lol. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone! This is the next CD I'm buying, have to change up from Adele. Mis hijos are tired of hearing the same songs over and over. Ha! Enjoy the video.♥ image credit: muumuse

Slightly New Blog Look.

2012-01-22T19:51:00.000-05:00

As you can see I changed the look of my blog a bit. I'm still making changes here and there but for now and I sort of like the way it looks. I want to change the template all together but Blogger has limited options. I tried using a customized template but I lost some of the plugins so I changed it back. I freaked out, thank God I backed it up before I made the changes. What do you guys think? Is it too dark, font is too small, it loads too...

High Quality, Stylish And Affordable Glasses.

2012-01-05T02:01:00.000-05:00

As I get older I have found that I need to use my glasses more often. It wasn't until four years ago that I had to start using glasses, which is about the time they say you start having problems with farsightedness. Lately, I have noticed that even when I'm wearing my glasses I still can't read some things because the font is too small. Which means is time for me to get a new pair of glasses. Something I have been trying to put off because my...

Happy New Year/Feliz Año Nuevo, mi gente! Can't believe this year is almost over, it went by so fast. Seems like it was summer not too long ago. This year was sort of uneventful for me and I'm happy to say I didn't have any major drama! I'm so ready for a new year. Leaving all the bad spirits, bad memories and bad luck behind! Just woke up from a nap because it's too hot in here. I have the window open in the kitchen but it didn't make a...

The Author of this post is Freddy Savage I am so fed up with my satellite TV (wish I had stuck with my digital cable service provider). A few months ago they changed over to some sort of new system that is messing up my life. For some reason the picture keeps on scrambling and I can't get anything on demand. I am so annoyed because every time I call they tell me it's only temporary while they switch over, but they don't offer to credit my...

First, Feliz Nochebuena/Christmas Eve to everyone! I woke up early (8:30 AM, yes that's early for me) to put the pernil in the oven and enjoy some of the morning silence. It was so quiet! Yes, you would think since I live in the city I would love noise but no, I don't. It has to do with getting old and previously living next to a crazy woman for years. Anyway, as I said 2 days ago I haven't been into celebrating the Holidays...

Where Did My Holiday Spirit Go?

I feel like scrooge these days. I have been trying to get into the Holidays spirit, but I have been feeling blah. The weather being so warm doesn't help either! There are no decorations up or presents. Bills needed to be paid and I figure we can always buy some things after Christmas at a cheaper price. I still feel shitty about it though. No way around that one. I threw away our Christmas tree 2 years ago and never replaced it. To make up...

Kelly Clarkson - Jingle Ball Performance!

2011-12-22T11:09:00.002-05:00

I'm a fan of Kelly Clarkson. Love her music and the fact that she doesn't care about what people say about her. Critics commenting on her weight or whether she's a lesbian because she has never been seen with a guy. You can see her here performing at the Jingle Ball. Would love to see her in person!

If you are like me, the bigger the explosions the better the movie! Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol gives you that and more. Great casting (Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner) great acting and a great story. Something that is very hard to do after a trilogy. Sure, you may have great casting and great acting but the story most of the time sucks. Not this time! You have the chance to see Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol in...
