back to reality.

ny was awesome! so is being home! work is aight today because i need sleep asap. so we realized that we need our very own scotty to beam us up to ny anytime. we love our fl and ny life but life wont let us have both so out adventure continues. let's wait and see where life will lead us. we're trullu blessed that happiness follows us always.

travelling clothes.

new york, here we come baby! yes, my brighton stripe + jeans for comfort. boots + slouchy sweater for warmth especially with the expected sleet from this morning's forecast. i have my scarf handy. of course miami decided to be bright and really sunny today. overdressed much?? i need a sign over my head that says "ny bound after work". charging my ipad for entertainment (eventhough i won't get to use it, it's practically sophie's). a bag of cheeseballs for snack.

i am sooooo excited! i heard there will be chinese food waiting for us. real chinese food and by real i mean real ny style take out which is actually far from the authentic chinese cuisine. lol.

on a sidenote, we were greeted this morning by these lovely flowers blooming on the side of our driveway.

a little under weather today. boohoo.

love and marriage.

hubs and i have been married for 6 years. like all marriages we've been through lots of adventures. some awesome and some not so nice. anyone who knows us knows that we fight like cats and dogs. like kids. literally. i read an article about ellen barkin and don drapkin's relationship and i'd have to say that ours is pretty much the same minus the bazillion dollars.
our marriage is extreme, we never have a "just ok" time. either we're super crazy and annoyingly cheesy about each other or it's wwIII. that's normal, at least in our book. lol.
our biggest problem is we love each other too damn much. and it doesn't help that we're both spoiled brats who needs attention and always expect to get what we want. best part is making up. and just like kids, we both wait who's gonna say something first. sigh. why can't we just skip the whole drama and get to the good part. i guess that's what makes it good.

time machine shoes.

i don't particularly love this outfit but i do love these skimmers from jcrew. i got them like 7 years ago. so much that i have them in three suede colors and even bought one for my mom. i was holding holding on to them for years until now that i'm working again. and that goes for pretty much all my work clothes and shoes. the problem is everytime i wear pointy shoes i feel like i am outdated. like i am back in 2005. that's the year were i officially stopped wearing my "nice" clothes and say bye bye to working in the city - company relocated and dress code was changed to casual. i mean i am happy just being able to wear my clothes again - what am i talking about!?!? i am psyched that they even fit!!! anyway the pointy shoes - are they really out of style? if you notice i haven't worn any pointy heels! it is only in my head? or should i dig up my old shoes too?

tgif.

today i am extra happy because the last time i wore these pair of jeans was when i was i think 25 years old! that and i woke up early and no traffic today. tgif peeps! tomorrow, a much needed buffet and shopping!

my polka dot skirt.

this skirt is a target find for $12. a size bigger than my usual but perfect for times when i feel blah. like today, i woke up so late that i didn't have time to wash my hair. yeah, that usually put me in a blah mood. and of course by late i mean 6:30 am. which means 1 hour for sophie and 30 minutes for me and that's including breakfast. sigh. anyway i love pairing this skirt with colors!!

more goodies from work today.

another reason why i love my job. i get lots of freebies. i'm talking about lots of food, seafood, bacon, meat, chicken wings, kitchenware, shirts, barware and today some goodies for sophie. can't wait to give it to her! what can i say i love me some freebies!

new york bound.

we booked our flight to ny!!! only for a weekend but oh so excited to see everyone! now we wait. for 10 more days!!!!!
on another note these were taken in three different rest room. this is my t.o.m. pants. yes its that time. t.m.i. much?

four more days.

today is the continuation of friday. what a long day! best part: carpooling with by babies. and lunch with hubs!! i swear that guy makes me smile! and sophie just cracks me up! and oh our bea.u.ti.ful weather!

hello weekend.

what a long day. tgif!

my colored tights.

this morning, i put on this blue tights which is one of the darkest color in my box of tights since we are having the perfect tights weather condition. I wasn’t too sure about it since the company I work for is conservative and old fashioned – it might not be work appropriate. So I decided to pair it with a black skirt, you know, balance the blueness of my legs. Lol. It was either a black below the knee skirt or a shorter than my usual skirts. Of course I went for the later which is again not solving my dilemma of wearing work appropriate clothes. So my perfect solution, pair it with black ballet flats and a casual gingham top. Tada!

it's feeling a lot like christmas.

yes, it's freeeeezing here in sunny florida. they're not kidding when they say that it gets cold here in the wintertime. who's "they" you ask? just about everyone! who you know, have been here a lot longer than us!! and you know, have lived their whole lives here!!! it's like it'40 degrees (i know it's not even THAT cold) with a lot of strong wind!!! It's hard to explain. the best way to describe it is it feels like one of those rare "nice" day in the middle of winter and the sun is out but when you get caught in the shade, it is freaking cold. that plus the wind. this weather would have been perfect during the holidays. we were in shorts during christmas eve. i kept asking hubs to play christmas songs to get me hyped up while cooking.
