Firsts

Yesterday was the MONUMENTAL first day of freshman year for Jessy.

Oh holy crap was she excited. I was with her from 9 pm until almost 11:30 getting

the full download of info. Apparently...her school is big enough to house the entire U.S. Army and she got lost going to every single class, also bigger people (upper class men) are terrifying and will like eat you or something. She was so wide eyed and excited and it was like the most amazing moment of her life and all her teachers are incredible and the hallways are paved with gold and there's a make your own sundae bar at every corner and all that good stuff. To be completely honest with you I am literally holding my breath. I wasn't very good in high school. OK I chose partying over school and as best as I try to tell her about my experiences but I know for a fact that most people don't learn life lessons through someone else. I am so scared that she might damage her future like I did mine. Any tips?

Let's Play Catch-up

**School's about to start so my baby loves are leaving me for another year and my visitations are limited to weekends and trips to the library and oh my god hold me because I am so going to cry massively and freak the fuck out because they are growing up and in a little while I'm not gonna be the cool young aunt anymore...I ramble...a lot

**Summer was a sweet loving happy success...I learned to fish...We went on the boat and I did not puke not once...I love that Cuban/ in your blood/ raft training...We had some awesome family bonding times that damn near drove me to tears...We laughed, we hugged, and we perspirated...a lot

**You know how when you break up with someone and after about a month and a half you get back together but in that month and a half you both kind of got used to being single so getting back into that whole relationship mode is slightly complicated...Well I am more than glad to report that The Boyfriend and I are almost over that little storm and our little ship is making it over the big ass wave so take THAT! writers of a perfect storm I don't care if physics proves me wrong I believe in little ships dammit!

**So here are some photo high lights of this summer...

Public University SUCKSSSSSSS

To all new parents...

I beg of you...start that college fund for your kids because financial aide barely covers anything and public universities suck...

Oh yea and your kid having to work full time + over time to pay for the aforementioned suckish university sucks even more...

It is with this in mind that I am taking the leap into private university heaven and student loan hell because if I stay at my current school I may never fucking graduate.

Please parents hear my plea and don't put your kids through this. Start a college fund. Hit up the grandparents to start a college fund too. Anything you can think of but have the money stored away.

If you're thinking your kids are going to get by with scholarships you're sadly mostly wrong because scholarship committees are staffed with pretentious a-holes and if don't floss three times a day then BOOM! no dinero for you homes!

Please tell me I'm not alone and that Public U sucks!

The Skandals

Awesome new band!

Moving The Masses

I found a site about two or three weeks ago through ZoeyJane's fantaboulus blog; if you haven't checked her out then you must must must!

Anywho, the site is called Violence UnSilenced

It serves as an online support group for people suffering and who have suffered from abuse.

I can't even begin to imagine the horrible pain these men and women must carry around with them and so this site is my pick for Moving The Masses.

Please head over there and show your support.

On a much much sadder note

I have thought of a million ways to write this, I still feel it is not my place to write it but something in me says I must.

A friend of my family who has been married for a while had a beautiful baby girl about a year ago in addition to her daughter from a previous marriage. Needless to say everyone was head over heels for the baby and when she became pregnant a second time her husband and her were overcome joy. Eight months ago she gave birth a beautiful baby boy who was born with a congenital heart deffect. He has had four or five extreme surgeries and has never left the hospital in his eight months of life. He is currently on life support because the doctor's are afraid his little body can't take the recovery processes on its own. Our friend Gretel has quit her job and now lives full time in the hospital with her baby boy. I come to you not asking for money or anything of the sort, I come asking that you keep the Vidal family in your prayers with the hopes that one day this special little boy will see more than a hospital ICU. My heart aches for those who have to watch their children suffer and even more when they have to bury their own children. I know I will never truly understand the pain until I have children of my own but I still see the injustice of children suffering. I ask again to please pray for the safe recovery of this little boy. Religion matters not, God can hear us all.

Thank you.

Procrastination (and why it took me forever to get the work outs going)

So about 56498416554098 years ago I pledged to start walking two miles everyday...

Didn't happen.

Last night however, after much procrastinating and finding every excuse in the book me and one of my girlfriends headed out to a nearby park and walked on the track...

I never did make those two miles, but I speed walked one and I painted my toenails (hadn't happened in over a month).

Plus my room and dresser drawers got some clean up actions so all in all it was a very productive night.

Tonight I am going to dinner with my best friend in the whole wide world and then after its back to the track.

P.S. I thought I was completely out of shape...turns out I am somewhat out of shape but I'm mostly just lazy.

P.P.S. That mind over matter stuff really works, next time your working out don't picture thin celebrities...picture yourself thinner. Totally works in a second wind kind of way.

P.P.P.S. The shoes in the pic are Steve Madden, $ 38.99 at DSW

Soak Up The Sun

My uncle just got a boat.


What do South Florida people do with a boat?


Head down to the Keys. Rent a trailer big enough to fit 40 at a marina. Go out on the aforementioned boat to a nearby sandbank. Swim around and drink Coronas.


Well not me for the last part. My family doesn't let me drink alcohol so it's straight up water and sodie pop for me.


We also blister under the HOT sun!

Going back next Weekend and the weekend after that.

Can't wait one bit!
