Just in case you didn’t know…

I'm on Facebook!! Isn't everyone on it anyway? At first I didn't think I would be hooked but I am. I'm truly ADDICTED! I was also happy when I was told that you can personalize your spot with your own name too.  I think it makes it unique, unlike Myspace. So, don't forget to follow my blog and friend me! http://www.facebook.com/newyorkchica Thanks! … [Read more...]

Seems like a dream…

I couldn't believe the words my mom said to me last night while I was  at her house. She said, "Michael Jackson died!" I said what!? What are you talking about? Farrah Fawcett is the one that died today.  She said watch the news, they found him with no pulse and they couldn't revive him. As soon as she said that, I turned on the tv and went online.  I saw on TMZ that indeed he did die. I was shocked!  I could not believe it! I never knew the man but I grew up listening to his music and … [Read more...]

Trying to Lose weight? Remember to eat your fats!

Most people think they need to start eating low fat or eat no fat at all in order to lose weight. That is true, to a point.  They forget that our bodies need the "good" fats in order for our metabolism to work properly and to stay healthy and stay away from the "bad" fats such as saturated fats that clog up your arteries. The editors from Fitness Magazine say to have a small amount of fat in every meal.  It digests slowly, so you'll feel satisfied for a longer period of time and you'll eat … [Read more...]

Friday Fill-Ins

I decided to do one of these while I was reading Isolated Existence (which is a great blog),  so I thought I should do one too. So here are mine: 1.

Coffee helps me relax. 5. Thanks for the visit, I really appreciate it.. 6.Laundry sometimes can become very off-putting. 7. And as for the … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – The Ants Go Marching…

While I was picking up my kids mess in the bathroom, I spotted an ant. I grabbed a book that my daughter left on the floor and this is what I grabbed to kill the little bastard. How funny! I absolutely did not know that book was in the bathroom. I guess since we've been finding ants in the house, my daughter decided to leave this book in the bathroom and read it while she handles business. For more Wordless Wednesday and to participate, go to Momspective for great photos & 5 … [Read more...]

Just in case you didn’t know..

What a crappy day it has been! I've been exhausted all day long.  My husband has been feeling the same way too. For some reason, losing that "extra" hour is like losing your strength, in my opinion.  Yea, it's nice that you get more daylight throughout the day but you feel like sh*t too. As I was browsing thru the web, I found some interesting facts about Daylight Saving Time. I learned that the incorrect way to say it is, "Daylight Savings Time".  I never knew that.  There is no "s" … [Read more...]
