Freaking 'Fantastic' Friday!

Hello!! IT’S FREAKING FRIDAY! I can NOT believe it. Every week seems to go so slow and then all of a sudden it’s Friday and I can’t believe the week is done! HOW CRAZY! My thoughts are BURSTING with excitement for this weekend! I LOVE to make people smile and am so looking forward to throwing the Independence Day BBQ for all the residents that live in the apartment community I manage! I am even more looking forward to making the cupcakes I found over at A Beautiful Mess But what I am really JAZZED UP with excitement for is the award that the beautiful wonderful and sweet Chelsea from over at Cream & Cotton gave me! THE VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD! So here it is….
The Rules:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share seven things about yourself.
3. Pass this award along to five bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason!
4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award.

Seven things about me…

1. I am 5 foot nothing(and a ½) and am so used to being so much shorter than everyone I actually feel uncomfortable in heels! Geezz what kind of girl am I?

2. I will take caffeine any way I can. Rockstar, coffee, chocolate, nos, redbull, coolers you name it I love it, BUT I didn’t have a single drop the entire time I was pregnant!

3. Probably due to my lack of interest in heels I live in a make believe world where its okay to wear flip flops all year even in the below zero winters we have!

4. I am Terrified of orange cones.. the ones you see in construction zone! I don’t know where this phobia came from, but its there. I will take a 20 minute detour before I go in the direction of an orange cone… everyone I know makes fun of me for it!

My 'Thirsty Thursday' Five

I just have to start by saying Today July 1st… THURSDAY… I feel so blessed. Not for any particular reason but just because. I think sometimes in life we feel like we need a BIG reason to feel blessed and forget that if we take a step back and look at things for a far there are a whole bunch of little things in our life that make it a blessed one.
My finger is twitching being this serious so without rambling to much more… here is everything and anything that means everything or nothing to me this Thursday…

Five.. So P90x/Insanity week went like this… … …
Do you hear the emptiness screaming? I had EVERY intention of doing it but sometimes(most times) intentions are empty and its actions that speak. Well I am speechless because I had no actions. I woke up this morning and realized after eight cups of coffee, because God knows I don’t realize anything when I am half asleep, there is NO “I will do better next week” I have to do better this week, because NEXT week always turns into NEXT week! Therefore I did insanity at 8am.. Not the best idea I have ever had but I am glad I did it! Sometimes you just got to prove to yourself you CAN(FOR MY SISTER(S) SAKE I HAVE TO MAKE IT CLEAR EVERY THURSDAY WE ARE mexiCANS not mexiCANTS)! Now I just have to prove I can CONTINUE!

Four…True Blood True Blood! OH MY True Blood!
I am so mad at bill I just can not explain. As if he is someone I know in my personal life.. gosh I am a nerd! This show NEVER fails me! so outrageous. That sex scene gave a whole new meaning to mind blowing sex! Jacques and I both were just silent. Did that really just happen? As always addicting, intoxicating, amazing… But damn you true blood! really? after an episode like that I have to wait two weeks to see another one? (that’s how mad I am … I said damn!)

Three…I don’t think I have ever been so excited for the 4th of July weekend as I am for this one. I LOVE any reason to be with friends and family and this year we have TONS of plans… well not TONS but enough to make me smile. Friday I am hosting a Independence day BBQ for all the residents that live in the building I manage. Saturday we are getting together with a friend to swim and BBQ and Sunday my family is getting together to swim and BBQ I love when my family gets together more than anything, growing up Hispanic the main thing I learned was FAMILY IS EVERYTHING! Monday I think Jacques Aries and I might go to the zoo it will be Aries first time which should be exciting! What are you doing for the 4th?

Two… Beauty isn’t everything.. enough said!

One.. Aries Aries How Great is he! This whole learning to walk thing so much fun! Probably one of my favorite stages! The look on his face when he realizes he is stanging by himself and the concentration and effort into trying to move one foot in front of the other is so cute! I don’t even remember what it was like to not have him in my life! I don’t know how I could possibly survive without poop poop diapers, constantly dirty clothes thanks to him “sharing” his food with me, crabby teething days, and no sleep at night….
And of course that smile! Which makes everything worth it!

I as always hope you had an amazing week and I hope your Friday(limbo day) and weekend is even better...

This my friends was another week as

Mommy Of a Jamexican!

Trader Joe's and Costco Girl

Oh hump day how I love you so! You give me hope that the weekend is in sight! : )

Today is the last day of the month...It is such a bitter sweet thing. I am excited for a new month, hopefully a less rainy month I am over June gloom, but I am so sad in just 9 days my little baby is going to be 9 months old. I can’t believe it. I just don’t understand where the time is going?

On another note I was reading A Beautiful Mess and Mommy of a Monsters Blogs yesterday and they absolutely inspired me to try my own little "Tasty Tuesday" I ended up with a variation of Mommy of a Monsters Curry Chicken! : ) I am a Trader Joe's and Costco girl so that’s where all my ingredients came from!

It was BEYOND amazing and I am looking forward to trying some new foods. Because of my Hispanic background I generally only cook Mexican Food I am ready to branch out and learn some new recipes! : ) What is your familys most cooked meal?

I hope everyone is having a beautiful blessed Hump day and I can not wait for my share my Thursday Five with you tomorrow!

Super Random Sunday

A week or so ago I bought some new shampoo and conditioner, something from Tigi-BedHead, I used it today for the first time…. It was like an orgasm on my head(oh yes I said it). Really though the smell of warm vanilla overwhelmed my senses and the creamy conditioner left my hair feeling ridiculously luxurious ! Nothing makes me smile more than great hair which is usually the product of great shampoo and conditioner. Some women like shoes I LOVE shampoo and condition. This love probably stems from my 5 plus years in the salon industry. So in honor of Super Random Sunday, and while we are on the topic of hair, here are JUST A FEW{=) of my many hair styles and colors over the years!

Whats your favorite hairstyle or product? :) I hope ya'll are having a beautiful blessed weekend.

Love Always,
Mommy Of a Jamexican

Freaking Friday

Being the ridiculously indecisive, random, and forgetful person that I am, French Vanilla… NO black… or a Carmel cooler?.....Caffeine…..

Right back to the topic… I have decided to Begin a Freaking Friday. Nothing Extravagant Just One Simple Random Freaking Friday Story. This Freaking Friday comes from my trip to Staples office supply where I Planned on Getting INK for the Printer….. I ended up at ULTA, don’t ask, five minutes in the opposite direction of Staples. After Browsing for Conditioner, as I am out, I walked out the door with Just this….

The colors Go on smooth and Brighten up my eyes and for only $10 Its The Perfect Set of colors for a Brunette Like Me! And that My loves is my Freaking Friday Story! Sweet.Short.Simple.
Some How I made it home without the INK But Managed to stop Right next door at Trader Joes for some JOES O‘S Cereal… !Classic Freaking Friday!
Have you ever ran to the store for one thing and ended up somewhere else for something else? What’s your Freaking Friday Story?

Much Love,
Mommy Of a Jamexican

My Thursday Five

"A seed ascends around the turntable." My endorphins are bursting as the sun beams down on my lightly bronzed face. My thoughts are skydiving as they are junked up on caffeine. Oh Thursday how I love you so… You excite me with your almost Friday status! From me to you here is everything and anything that means everything or nothing to me this Thursday!

Five… Although approximately two months away I am getting a little nervous for this semester of school! With the assumption that I would only be working part time I signed up for 16 online credits. And congratulations to me I got a promotion. Now at 45-60 hours a week and an 8 month old these 16 credits are going to be …well they are going to be an adventure to say the least. HOWEVER I know I can do it, because like I mentioned last week I am a firm believer, thanks to my mother, that anything you put your mind to you can do! Oh and I plan on doing it because like my sisters always say… We are mexiCANS not mexiCANTS! : )

Four… I said last week I was not one for recommendations but apparently that is changing. Being the amazing man that he is My LOVE went to Ulta by himself *SHOCKER* and bought me a hair dryer. My first thought when he arrived home was “ahh he does listen” My second was “this dryer is going to suck” lol but again *SHOCKER* The thing freaking rocks! Perfect for a consistently on the go mom like me! Thanks to my rockstar (mmm that reminds me of caffeine) Latin/Italian heritage I have insanely thick hair and not just thick strands or a lot of hair… yup I got both! (feel free to ask Tammie my amazing hairstylist lol) ANYWAY normally my hair takes forever to get dry but this baby gets it done in 5 minutes! SCORE! So this week I highly recommend the Rusk Speed Freak Hair Dryer a little spendy but totally worth it!
**Thanks Babe You’re the Best**

Three…By the end of the season you are going to be sick of me talking about it, but once again thank you TRUE BLOOD for being in existence! Dirty, Raunchy, Captivating, Simply Amazing!

Two… Starting P90x and Insanity Round two. I was doing great with it the first time around seeing results and then I just stopped because of the whole promotion jump to full time hours thing, but now that I am starting to get my groove down with work I am about to beast and go so hard! That’s right I JUST SAID BEAST! 

ONE… First I just have to explain for those of you who were wondering Aries is a Jamexican and that is a Jamaican and Mexican(Jamaican and Mexican.. apparently her really CAN!) which are the two many ethnicities that he is… Look up a jamexican on urban dictionary and give yourself a laugh!
Oh my little big Aries how you are growing so fast. He is starting to try to take steps.. Yes that’s right steps. I can’t believe how fast he is growing. It seems like next week he’s going to be ready to potty train and I am going to be in a rocker on the balcony with a cane to my right and gray hair on my head!

Life is a blessing and this was my week as
