Freaking Friday-HECK YES!

I am sooo excited for it to be friday. Normally Fridays are not a big deal for me because I work weekends but man oh man.... After being yelled at for two hours yesterday by a not so nice resident... and with only having to work a half day today. TGIF For real...

Okay so I hate to say it but I was so excited last night for Jersey Shore Season. All the Guidos and fist pumping ha got to love it. Peronally I love Jwoww She does not take shit from anyone! and snooki is just crazy.....
Angelina: Yeah well you're too tan and you're disgusting.
Snooki: I AM tan and I like being tan BITCH!


So just a few random notes. I have a private youtube that some of you know about but I changed a handfull of the videos over to a public youtube. All Aries.. Labor and every few weeks since he has been born. Check it out. I will be doing weekly Vlogs starting next week.



Also My sister is insanely creative you should watch her videos below are my three fav.

YUP YUP THURSDAY FIVE

“IM THE BEST THERE IS … I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND I PISS EXCELLENCE” Oh and how could I live without “YEAH I LIKE TO DRINK BUT I ALSO LIKE TO OWN BUISNESSES” So on that random note from the crazy world of my Sisters, who I might at are mexiCANS not mexiCANTS… Here is everything and anything that means everything or nothing to me this Thursday.. YUP YUP it’s the Thursday Five….

Five… Just because you are a debt collector and you deal with rude people all day and that has caused you to become an angry conniving person and just because you hate your job and are unhappy with your life does not mean that you need to walk into my office and be rude and disrespectful to me…someone who is helping you. P.s. don’t lie. P.p.s. Dear world appreciate the kind people and be one yourself. BE a light. Don’t go around trying to put other peoples out! NO BUENO!

Four…Earths best baby food actually taste like real food!
Three… 352 days until I get to marry the most understanding patient man in the world(according to this lil Latina) And only 306 days if we decide to move up the date. How blessed am I that I get to spend the rest my life with my Best friend. Days like today remind me of how lucky I am to have a partner that is so fun relaxed and goofy. Because when I get tense about something he reminds me that its okay to calm down breath and just have a good time! : )

Two… Beautifulpeople.com a dating website where you can only be a member if you are a beautiful person has announced that they will be sponsoring a companion egg and sperm bank for its members to sell their eggs & sperm for a fee. A spokes person said at first they hesitated to open the bank to all people(ie ugly people) but that they would be opening it to all people because “everyone -- including ugly people -- would like to bring good-looking children into the world, and we can't be selfish ...."…………. REALLY.????? Well that’s all I have to say about that one!

One…
Mucho amor!

My Wedding Wednesday

So our whole wedding is going to be centered around being as creatively us as possible. Here are some of the fun things we have put together so far!
Is it a little early to be thinking of my wedding cake?Found that on wedding bee and I just LOVE it! Perfect for our color scheme.

We also Love the idea of this for a late night snack! All the little cake balls will be green with brown drizzle on them or brown with green Center Pieces Brown Coffee Beans with green candles inside.

We are still having a little issue finding our ceremony site. Chances are we are going to end up moving our wedding to June 4th 2011 and having the ceremony at the Garden. I really want my wedding date July 16th, but I would rather be able to get married at the garden since that is the only place I have ever really imagined getting married! This week I hope to finish up the guest list and book our photographer for the engagment photos so we can get out the save the dates!!! I also found two dresses that I LOVE and cant decide between them : / Maybe I will buy them both and wear one to the ceremony and the other to the reception! : ) How did you figure out which dress was "THE ONE" can two of them be "THE ONE"?

Mucho Amor!

BOOM Chicka BOOM BOOM.. THURSDAY FIVE

I Just have to say that this short little under caffeinated Loud Mouth Latina Is having the MOST AMAZING THURSDAY MORNING! It started out NOT SO GOOD. I was Sleepy as could be! I mean think eyes drooping Running into walls sleepy.. But then as I was sipping my WEAK morning coffee and reading through blogs I came across the most amazing title that INSTANTLY brightened my day… WAIT FOR IT…..SAY IT SLOW… HAKUNA MATATA… SING IT… It means no worries.. for the rest of your days! See now I know you at the very least cracked a smile! Big thank you to Jagged Little Life. Now that I have smile on my face here is everything and anything that means everything or nothing to me this Thursday…
Five… I seriously need some organizing inspiration. Any fun Organizing tips out there? Four... 359 Days until I get to marry my best friend!!! : )

Three… Dear Cutest blog on the block....Why is my background going to be deleted tomorrow? LAME! Time for a new look any suggestions?

Two… I like Red(Trader Joes) Curry sauce better than Yellow(Traders Joes) Curry sauce... *shrugs shoulders* Im Just saying

One… Oh my growing baby boy! I can not believe he is walking. I really don’t know where the time has gone. I knew time would go fast but I had no idea it would go this fast. He is so much more of a little boy now than a baby boy. He understands everything that is going on around him and has developed quite the personality. I love him so much and just wish I could slow down time a little bit. What a blessing motherhood is! HAKUNA MATATA... Its our Problem-Free Philosphy...Have a Blessed Thursday!

My Wedding Wednesday

I found the most amazing Reception Venue! A family friend is opening a restaurant downtown and he is going to let us use the entire restaurant for the Reception.. WHAT A BLESSING! So Reception venue and food CHECK Ceremony site not so much of a check…. I seem to be having a hard time finding an outdoor space to have the actual ceremony. Everywhere is either booked or requires you to have your reception at there partner space! Its crazy how fast outdoor spaces get taken. Especially here in Minnesota where an outdoor wedding is only possible a handful of weekends out of the year, but like my amazing love told me “have faith because God will lead us to the right place.” How amazing is he?

This week I got my inspiration board done… super fun : )

What do you think? I am in love with chocolate brown and the shade of green we picked out not only compliments it well (in my opinion) but also is one of the wall colors at Los ComPadres! I am just so excited. I am looking forward to touring some new ceremony site options this weekend, and I am making my second trip to look for dresses! I have discovered I DO want strapless and I DO have to do some hard core arm workouts! Which brings me to another thing I have discovered… Its time to start a serious crack down on my workouts! Any suggestions other than P90x and Insanity(I already do them)?
Love Always,

Thursday Five

There is a seriously large clock, which by the way is a strange word, in my office staring at me. I mean really it wont stop looking at me. See right isn’t that unusually large? If it had a second hand I might jump out my previously mentioned minuscule… still dirty… office window. The music playing is taking my mind to a pleasant place. Don’t you just LOVE how a good song can always put a smile on your face? PAUSE… COFFEE BREAK… Ahhh Warm Caffeinated goodness! Is it really Thursday? Where and How did this week disappear? Well I suppose its time… Here is everything and anything that means everything or nothing to me this Thursday…

Five… Bill Compton … who are you and what have you done with my favorite vampire Bill Compton.. oh True Blood you make my heart melt.. GO WATCH if you haven’t… I still say the writer of Twilight obviously read the Sookie Stackhouse books and got “influenced” to write a movie. I’m just saying!

Four… Bumble Bees are actually really beautiful!

Three… If my face seems droopy it’s probably because its melting in the humidity! I mean Cheese and Rice the humidity is hotter than the heat.

Two… SUPER bummed The only place I ever imagined getting married at...got booked for the day I wanted it literally moments before I called to book it : (
On a happy note excited to go look at dresses tomorrow with the lovely Jessica P.
What was your favorite part of planning your wedding? How did you NOT stress about it?

One… Aries Aries Aries.. Has A HUGE personality to say the least. He can Pre walk. Take 10-12 un assisted steps at a time sometimes more. He is still pretty wobbly but its cute/scary/ oh shit I am never going to catch him now! Oh the Joys Of Motherhood!

As always Mucho Amor

My Wedding Wednesday

I am pretty excited to be adding a new post to my weekly schedule. Just one more thing for me to ramble on about! The title I am sure gives it away... WOO HOO I am getting Married. For those of you who don’t know me very well let me give you a little background on Jacques and I...
We have been together for 4 1/2 and known each other for 10.
We met the first day of high school He thought I was mean and I thought he was obnoxious.
We were the furthest thing from high school sweethearts, rather hallway acquaintances.
We went years without seeing each other and randomly the spring after high school we reconnected. It was kind of a wrap after that the first two years together I don’t think we spend more than 24 hours apart.
He is my buddy! He makes me laugh, He drives me crazy, and he always knows how to make me feel better. Best of all he is the most amazing father to Aries that I could possibly dream of which makes me love him that much more!

^randoms from over the years^
For those of you who actually know me you probably know we have been engaged for the past 4 years the time was just never right we had goals we wanted to accomplish and excitingly (not sure if that’s actually a word lol) by next year most if not all of those goals will be completed and the time will be right to get our marriage on! WOOT WOO

Now enough of the boring mushy stuff and on to the fun stuff....

The knot.com
myweddingblog.com
perfectweddinguide.com
weddingchannel.com

The list goes on and on. geez thought it was a big decision to just pick a date and now I have 50 billion more to make.
Out door or indoor?..
Big wedding or small?..
how many bride maids? four?
what type of dress do I want
what color theme?
what kind of flowers?
what kind of food?
what kind of music?
Dont forget the cake!

Plus there is the invatations


Did I mention the list goes on and on? Thank gosh I have a year and a few days to plan this I don’t know how some of you put it together in months and some even weeks. Honestly If I could really have it my way I would have a small backyard wedding and have a BBQ for my reception haha but I don’t think my family would be so down with that!

I would LOVE to hear your suggestions/ideas/ect....

Looking forward to sharing my journey!
By the way its July 16th, 2011

Housewife Bootcamp



So it has become painfully Obvious I desperately need to be apart of this boot camp! I set 5 goals last week and am sad to say I did not complete them all! I started to clean Aries room and then became extremely overwhelmed with just how much was in there I am however proud that I got about 1/3 of it done and enough to actually set up his crib(the bumpers are not actually on the crib they just were for the picture).
I was also able to completely clean my kitchen and do ALL the laundry! WOO HOO!
By next Tuesday I hope to complete...
HIS BEDROOM!
HANG THE DARN PICTURES
MASTER BEDROOM COLOR CHOICE
CLEAN THE BATHROOMS*ISH*
GET A BETTER IDEA OF THE TYPE OF WEDDING DRESS I WANT
The last one is not really a house chore but I am excited to be doing it.
This Friday a friend, who happens to be the fiance of my loves best friend, and I are going to go try on some dresses and really try to figure out the style we want. Its hard to get an idea just looking on line because you don't know what the dress is going to look like when its actually on you. I cant really decide if I want something more Spanish traditional or something more over the top? or something more simple?... As of right now am kind of leaning more towards something like this...

For those of you who are already married what style dress did you wear?

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR WEEKLY GOALS LADIES!

How do you Relax?

What A CRAZY weekend! I Missed out on my Freaking Friday Blog and Super Random Sunday BLOG! : (
DO you ever just have one of those weekends where you feel completely revitalized after? I Had the best most relaxing weekend I have had in MONTHS. Friday was just plain fun. Jacques and I had our 5 year High School Reunion.

It was a belligerent amount of fun. For some people both literal and figurative! $10 for all the beer you could drink. To say the very least people took FULL advantage of that! All in All it was nice to see people, not through a facebook picture, and it would be nice to do it more than every 5-10 years.
Jacques and I randomly ended up getting Aries from my parents and staying at a hotel for the night! It was amazing and fantastic to have a night away from home! Aries even slept the WHOLE night!
Saturday and Sunday we just hung out at home together! Its been a long time since we have both had work off for so many days in a row!

I also stumbled across a new caffeinated addiction… GREEN TEA! I used to be ADDICTED to Caribou Coffee’s Green Tea but it had been years since I took a sip. Let me tell you my body instantly relaxed in to a state of calmness after I had that nice warm cup of tea! I was thinking that I want to try some organic tea? Any ideas of some really great organic tea? Also what is your Favorite way to Relax?

AHHH Life is good and I feel blessed to have such a wonderful family! : ) I hope everyone’s weekends were fantastic!

He was so excited for bath time he just couldnt wait for the water! : )
