confessions =]

i love this blog =]

so confession time for me too =]

1. i dont think redbull actually does anything for me anymore..but i feel incomplete if i cant drink it every morning..speaking of that i need to go crack open a cold one [of redbull sugarfree] of course!

2. i love my job, but some days im just so exhausted..and not making the money my work is put forward; i wish i could just go cocktail and make way more money..but i know deep down that my life is to work with kids and that money doesnt mean anything when i see those faces.

3. i want to be married by 25, but i dont know if that will happen

4. i get jealous of people and the way that they live their lives and wishing i could have what they have; but then i have a wake up call [everytime] and realize i have great things also!

5. i love the passion fruit tea lemonade at starbucks..with extra lemonade;; and light ice; i do believe they put wayyyy to much ice in it. i drink it so fast that i dont need all the ice =]

6. i have no control when it comes to food; i have to keep a lot of things out of my house because i will sit there and eat..even if im not hungry =[

so fires in arizona are bringing smoke and terrible air into the vegas valley;

the smart genius i am went running this morning [at 5 am] you have to go that early if you dont want to melt in the heat..
well i started running; and i was going strong...after about a mile; my back started to hurt, my lungs to be exact. i started breathing harder and had to start walking back home.
of course the  day i decide to start running in the morning; i practically ruin my lungs =[
sooo...i worked out again tonight; [8 strikes]! my favorite class; drenched in sweat always makes you feel better!

sushi tomorrow!
well my form of sushi anyway [cali roll, and shrimp tempura rolls]. ive tried more exotic things but im a person of habit; and doesnt want to pay for something that i dont like; or may not like!

so countdown is less than 5 weeks until my cruise!

i am uber excited!

california giiiiirls

back from lovely mission beach, ca;

i left at 4 am..i am one crazyy girl..well as im driving down the 15..listening to my carrie underwood song "undo it," which will ironically be something i want to do;; because i look in my rear view mirror and this is what i see...

\

yep! silly me got pullled over!

and never ever in my life have i been pulled over or even been close to being pulled over; needless to say i was a wreck! not only did i get a ticket but the cop was not very nice and called me a typical "cute girl from vegas, who thinks she can get away with anything." and to answer your question; i didnt say anything sarcastic or mean or rude; i was weeping like a baby handing over my information; saying sorry and sir and i was nothing but polite?! so whatever that was a start to the bad day!

When i get to california the people i went with werent at the house yet so i had to walk around [which was fine i walked thru shops and on the boardwalk] and then an hour or two later they were finally there; the house we stayed at was amazing! it was so beautiful and right by the beach and i just absolutely loved it!

That day we just hung out and enjoyed the beach; it was chilly i must say [june gloom in full effect].

the next day we went rollerblading on the boardwalk to breakfast and back; then enjoyed the beach because it ended up being super nice out!

thennnnn...the best part for dinner we had steamed crabs; sent all the way from Baltimore! i have never had to experience taking apart my own crab but i was a quick learner and it was such a fun [and messy] experience!

then woke up thursday morning at 6 am and drove back to good ol' home! [ticket free i might add]

spent the rest of the day swimming with my family who left today!

today i went to a great little restaurant on my side of town and enjoyed a yummy chicken salad..and it was perfect! like the chicken was light and moist; and the lettuce was delicious.

oh! i had onion rings today also at lunch [and i HATE onion rings if i can control it]. but these were DELICIOUS!

i hope you all have a good friday and enjoyyy your weekend!

10 days! whoaaa

i cant believe i has been ten days since i have posted
well first off let me apologize!
then let me explain =]

so im sorrry!
this is why i have been absent

• graduation-my little sister S has graduated from high school =] i am so proud of her and can not believe she did it! not only did she do it, but she did it with a honors medallion and a advanced diploma! [someone takes after their older sister :)) ]
• family-obviously graduation and family go co in hand. since she graduated we had lots of family come in town and we have been super busy of every moment of everyday!
• babysittting- i currently have a "summer break" which consist of a week off..sooo i need to make money somehow
• last but not least! i leave for cali tomorrow! yay!

so back to normal posting when i  get back thursday =]
yay
enjoy your week loves

what a week so far!

yay so yesterday was hump day which means only two more days of work!
and then next week..only three more days and the school year is over!!
my kids are raising havoc on the thought of that!
my school runs a summer school program too..so after a week of "vacation"
i will be right back in there, but atleast i get some break!

the past two days have been blurs!
work work work, is all i did! then came home and slept!
yesterday was mr.m and myselfs 3 year anniversary!
woooo thats a long time!

what did we do? worked out =]
i went to the gym and "stepped it up!"
and then i ventured to a different gym to do my all time favorite class 8 strikes =]
its a cardio kickboxing class that involves well kickboxing, sports intervals [football run, drop, high knees], plyometrics! and abs and arms at the end. the class is so full that you sweat just standing in there and once you start moving..woooweee i am always drenched, like trickling down my legs drenched in sweat! its absolutely amazing =]  if you live in the vegas area definitely check it out =] your heart gets beating and you cant think about anything but jabbing, kicking, uppercut!
you go home thinking you can conquer anything; because he goes around and stands in front of people and pushes them harder, i always seem to be  a victim person he chooses!

this upcoming weekend will be hectic;
saturday will hopefully be going to one of vegas's crazy pools, then my family from california will come in and then i have to attend a work event!
sunday will consist of a birthday party for my lovey logan [which i nanny for] he is turning 4 =]
then going home and spending time with the fam bam in town!
then the week will consist of working, gym, fam bam!
then wednesday is THE BIG DAY..my sister is graduating from hs =] my lil sister is all grown up!
then bbq's and pool days for the rest of the week! yayayy!

happy thursday loves!
just keep pushing through, only two more days!

weather is beautiful today!

today the weather is phenomenal!
it is in the mid to upper 80's!
me and mr.m went to the golf course for a lesson [he had a lesson, i just watched]

golf

i have a farmer tan now from the sun beating down on me for an hour and a half
[yes i took this into consideration, but considering i am outside everyday with a t-shirt on for roughly 45 minutes i thought "hey..i wont get a farmer tan, I'd have one by now"
so i wore a cute hot pink polo and what do you know..right when  i got home i took it off to find that i had a farmer tan, and its not a tan; i got a little toasted too!
i don't know why? i mean i am outside..i thought my arms were at least used to it by now!
so what are you doing for memorial day weekend?!
it has been a pretty good one for me!
last night i watched the fights between rampage and rashad Evans; definitely thought rampage was going to win; if you didn't watch it *SPOILER ALERT* rashad Evans won!

source

but it was not the fight i thought it was going to be; i thought for sure there was going to be an actual fight;; but it was a lot of stalling and hugging! i thought you guys hated each other! ;)

i also laid out yesterday and worked on my tan a little; which should have helped today in my adventure at the golf course..but no! oh well =]

so then today after that we ran to the good ol' grocery store and got some salmon; salad; steaks; and a special dessert that i am currently making!

yum

for mr.m..i will be having salmon =]

caesar salad

and the best part! homemade dessert!

 

snickerdoodle ice cream sandwhiches!

that is just the picture but here is the recipe

i got it from Better Homes and Garden Magazine [aka favorite mag.]

1 16.5-oz. roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 Tbsp. sugar [i used truvia]

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 1.75-quart container container vanilla ice cream

1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, toasted

2 cups cornflakes, coarsely crushed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice cookie dough 1/4 inch thick; arrange slices 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. In small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Generously sprinkle over dough slices. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet. Remove cookies and cool completely on wire racks.



2. Spoon ice cream into large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to soften slightly. Stir in coconut. Using an ice cream scoop, place some ice cream mixture onto flat sides of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies and press together gently. Place cornflakes in shallow dish; roll edges of sandwiches in cornflakes to coat ice cream. Immediately wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze 2 hours or until firm, or up to 1 month. Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature before serving to soften slightly. Makes about 14 sandwiches.

i live in the city of sin [las vegas] and i tend to sin a time or two ;) ..
