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! : )

Always, Mommy Of A Jamexican

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!

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
