It's all the same, a cruel cruel game.

I have finished the holiday, it was great -- a little less bitter than usual, but its over now anyway.  I have to see where my life goes in the next few days.  I am very lost and confused and wish that my answers came clearer than they are.  2012 is now approaching.  I didn't ever think that this is where I would be in my life at this time.  It is odd that the things that we think we will do, we only sometimes end up doing.  I hope in the end that I will look back onto all of this, and onto all of my life, and appreciate the good times, and feel great admiration for where I have taken myself, and what I have become.

It's Winter.

Here we are, December 1st.  I am feeling as I do every year with the passing of seasons, tired, anxious, and unaware.  So many changes have come and are to come.  I am not working, but have been able to take advantage of the ridiculous amount of free time that I find.  I have planned a trip to Europe for after Christmas, and then oh yea, here comes Christmas.  The sun sets too early, and there is a bitter chill coming through my cracked window that once was warmth from the sun.  I have burned my ass 2x on the steam pipe in the bathroom, and all I want to do is bake.  I have been decorating making the most of it all.  I hope that this winter is much less sad and nostalgic and lonely than last year.  Here's to the new year approaching and new adventures.

A few of my favorite things

Well today it certainly doesn't feel like it, especially since the sun is blinding and it peaked at 90degrees, but summer has ended.  My least favorite time of year.  The life and energy starts to fade and cooler shades of grey replaces it.  Rain and cold kicks in along with over eating.  Well, that could be all year for some people I guess.  Here are some pictures of things that I like to remind me that although my favorite time of year has passed, there are still some things that make me happy.

I can't get enough

Had a wonderful 8 day vacation.  The Poconos were great, so relaxing, and better than I had hoped to be able to recharge my batteries.  I even had time to go horseback riding.  A couple friends came to visit and all in all it was a perfect vacation.  We tried to stay up late and party it up all night and you should have seen all of us passing out by 11pm after like 2 happy hour cocktails.  Then it was up at 9 almost every day, spend the whole day at the lake and repeat again.

Guess what tomorrow is...

The first day of vacation! Two years coming, thank god.  All I have to say is barbecue and late night swimming and fireflies and old school game night with pitchers of margaritas.  Bus leaves at 8:50am so that means 4 hours of worrying that I didn't pack enough, and one hour of scrambling and then I leave.  Two hour bus ride, and I'm back in the country with good friends and eventually good weather.  Lake Ariel here I come and all I have to say is front room or back porch?


Until I return enjoy the blog world and see you soon.

Summer is here and so is...

Summerstage!!!

And other happy festivities.  Love summer love my friends love life. Che bella la vita y la belleza que nos da.

Planning a trip to Mexico

It's finally happening.  I'm planning a trip to a beach in Mexico for some beer and sunshine with my sister.  Hopefully it will be occurring around that time where the heat here gets to be unbearable, and is perfect for toe soaking.  I haven't done anything eventful for a whole month, and its time to start or else summer will be gone.  It hasn't really been much of a summer so far though, I have been to the beach one time...ONE TIME!

I spent yesterday cleaning and doing the laundry and searching flights from NYC to Guadalajara, or Newark to Guadalajara or NYC to Puerto Vallarta and well you get it.  Trying to find the cheapest ones.  For some reason they are quite expensive into the next 3 months.  That's a shame.  I guess times are changing.

It is a crappy dreary day here.  I want to crawl back under my faux down comforter with two fans blowing on me.  Maybe I will just get on the couch and watch the Real Housewives of NJ.  Sounds great.

I had a terrible dream last night about a certain ex crazy roommate of mine harassing me at the mall.  It seems she is a bitch even in dreams.  Screw you ex roommate, I was sleeping.

Here are some pictures of when I went to Mexico in 2009.  Enjoy.
