Hobbies

What are your hobbies?
I have always hated this question.
A person would answer this question on a survey, a date, getting to know you questionnaire
I think the reason I have always despise this question
is because I feel I have no hobby.
To me hobbies are crafty
And remember I hate crafts
I was talking to Kara about what my hobbies are and
I have concluded that my hobby is eating.
I love to do it
I can never get sick of it
It makes me happy
It relieves my stress
It feels my bored void
And I love tasting new and exciting foods
Yep, eating is my hobby

Gratitude Rocks!!!

Oh the places I've been

I have been to a lot of places.
Well maybe not a lot but some really fun places.
I have only the left the country twice and it was only to Canada and Mexico.
Someday I will visit the rest of the world.
But I will share two of my favorites.
Hawaii and NYC

Hawaii was Ah-Mazing!
If I could bring my family, friends and job there it would be the best place to live
The people are so friendly
The weather is so crisp and clean
The view is amazing from any direction
It clearly is paradise

I know I am not in the picture below but I was there.
Such a beautiful city
I felt at home there and have such a desire to go back.
Gratitude Rocks!!!
- a camera to capture moments, airplanes to get me to these places, money to afford to go back

My Life's Soundtrack

I thought that this one would be hard.
I could only think of 3 songs.
Then I went through my playlist, then had to narrow it down to 15

1) Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves
Anytime I took a quiz to know what your theme song is, this always came up.

2) Sara(h) - Starship
Do I need to explain this?
It's my ringtone ;)

3) Somebody To Love - Queen
I should have this playing out loud everywhere I walk.

4) Imagine - John Lennon
This song was playing in the car of my earliest memory

5) Don't Worry 'Bout A Thing - SheDaisy
I try not to

6) Because I Have Been Given Much - Hymn
This is my favorite hymn and I try my hardest to be grateful for all that I have been blessed with

7) I'll Be There For You - The Rembrandts
Not only am I loyal but this song is the theme to The. Best. TV. Show.

8) Smile - Charlie Chaplin
I love this song and hope that my smile brightens people's day

9) Today My Life Begins - Bruno Mars
A friend gave me this song and anytime I am down I play this and it lifts my spirits

10) Lazy Song - Bruno Mars
Sometimes all I want to do is be lazy and not do a thing
Sometimes I accomplish that goal.

11) Only The Strong Survive - Elvis Presley
Amen. Amen!!

12) Good Life - OneRepublic
Two lines from this song are on my blog header.

13) Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles
Again, another song that brings me out of the dumps
I didn't think I was always in the dumps but apparently I am.

14) A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes - Cinderella
I have had plenty of dreams in my life, crazy and wonderful, that I would love to come true.
Someday. Someday.

15) I Enjoy Being A Girl - Flower Drum Song
As hard as it is sometimes, I really do enjoy it.
Plus I have all of my 'bring me out of the slum songs'

Gratitude Rocks!!!
- a mouth full of teeth, DVR, faith, a good story that had me rolling

Habits

Are habits really that bad?
I don't think so.
If you think about it they are only annoying to those surrounding you.
And you don't even notice any of your annoying/bad habits
unless someone tells/complains to you.
So I have been racking my brain to try to think of something.
The only thing that came to mind is that
I have a habit of never finishing books that I start to read.
In fact I am going through them in my head and I am already up to 10 books.
There are plenty more I'm sure.
My teacher mother with emphasis on reading is probably thinking this is not my child.
So if you have a book that you want me to read make sure it comes in movie form.
(hehehe)

If these weren't in my life...

...I don't know what I would do.
First let's chat about these two women that are with me in the photo below.
One, my sister Nicole,
We are as different as night and day
But I love her with all my heart.
Her birthday is coming up and she is having her first Mother's Day
May is this girls month
She is so smart, talented, and her laugh is so contagious
She, as well as her husband Brady, have given me the cutest nephew
This girl is naturally beautiful and I am in love with her dark features
I love you Buckley!
Second, my Madre
My mom is without a doubt the best!
She raised us all by herself and I know she will be forever blessed for her patience, courage, and will power to do what she has done for Nicole and I.
She and I are so similar it's sometimes scary.
We look like each other as well as think like each other
It comes in handy but sometimes it can bite us and we start to argue
She is my best friend!
I love you Mom!
Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!


Also I can't live with out movies
Movies describe me
People know me as the girl that loves movies
Who would I become with out them?
Probably someone normal
But that seems boring
I watch movies constantly
At work, home, heck I even have them on my phone
Last time I counted I own almost 400
The crazy thing is that that number will continue to grow
Happy thought in deed!
Just so you all know,
My favorite movie...
The Sting
Watch it! You will love it!

*Little disclaimer
Since I don't have a computer at home my days are business days
No updates on the weekend

Gratitude Rocks!!
