Bills, Bills, Bills.

Everyone has them, right?  Do we like them?  No way!  I know I hate bills but it's a part of life, whether we like it or not.  We all have our month to month bills like electricity, cable (most people), phone, rent/mortgage, etc. and there are many people that have credit card debt too.  Unfortunately, I am one of those people.  I don't want to put my financial business out in the web but my husband and I owe quite a few. Sometimes we try to pay more than the minimum but sometimes it's hard to … [Read more...]

T.G.I.F.

Yes, today is Friday!! That means I can sleep in for the next two days!  I am not a morning person at all.  I love my sleep and when I have to wake up, I'm kinda grumpy for the next hour but after that first hour, I'm ok.  I've always been like that.  I remember when i was in H.S., I would wake up at 6AM and snooze for about 10-15 minutes than after the snoozes, I was fully awake and ready for the day. I'm also not a night person.  I used to be but that was before I had kids.  Now that I have … [Read more...]

Random Thursday Thirteen

I've been reading blogs and organizing my desk all day.  So while I was reading my favorite blogs, I noticed that many people have a "Thursday Thirteen" on their blog.  So I thought, why not add that to mine too.  So here it is: I'm not feeling good today.  I have back pain. I wish I had a maid to do my laundry. My son had a half a day today so I made him do some chores. The Rachael Ray show that I was in (yesterday's show), didn't record on my DVR. I'm really upset because of it.  I … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday Papi!

Today's my Dad's birthday.  He would've been 56 years old.  Even though he is not here with me in real life, I feel he is with me in spirits.  He died 14 years ago, at the young age of 42, from complications with diabetes -  Just a week after we came back from our vacation from Florida.  It was a HUGE shocker to the whole family because he looked so healthy.  No one knew he was sick. He was always very thoughtful, lovable and a very caring person.  Everyone that knew him, loved him.  He was … [Read more...]

Sunday Sales!

If you love that four letter word - Sales, then we have something in common.  I try to buy things that are on sale most of the times.  I can't stand paying for something that is full price.  So I always sign up to get emails to different stores to let me know what is on sale for that week.  So I am here to let you know what's on sale this week, both online and in-stores. Target If you spend $50 on kids clothes, shoes and school uniforms at Target.com, you get free shipping.  PLUS, you get … [Read more...]

Ch-ch-changes…

I've been going through some changes as you can see.  I still haven't found the "look" that I want.  Until I get it right, you will see many different themes.  You know, maybe I should consider paying someone to redo my whole blog look.  I just don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it.  I know I like New York and coffee so it needs to come together somehow.  Hopefully I get the look I really like in the end. So does anyone have any ideas for me?  I would GREATLY appreciate it.  In the … [Read more...]

We will never forget!

Today marks the anniversary of the September 11 attacks.  I'm dedicating this post/day to the victims that died, their families and the heroes that helped during that traumatic time. I consider myself very lucky because I didn't know anyone who perished on that day but I do know people that know other people that lost friends and family members.  They are in my prayers. I can't believe it's been seven years.  I still remember what I was doing that day.  About 8:50AM, 4 minutes after the … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday

In case you were wondering, this is Grand Central Station in NYC.  This was taken before I hopped on the train to go back to the Bronx. F.Y.I. NYC always amazes me even though I've been living here all my life.  :) … [Read more...]
