Time to bundle up!

I am a total California girl. If is is 64 degrees in the mornings I am "freezing" at work. I tried wearing my flip flops all summer but as soon as the cold chill started I had no choice but to hide my toes. Although I am cold, I am so excited for fall and then winter. I can't wait for the scarves, the p-coats and the boots. I am thinking of making a purchase later this week. I have not shopped in a VERY long time. I have been making my lunch every day in an effort to save dinero. But man I could really use a new pair of boots. We will see, maybe I have a coupon from DSW some where here. I will let you all know if I get some new kicks. Oh and The family already set a date for the annual Tamale making day. (Dec 12th) Super excited but I have to loose weight because I know that once the holidays come I am so tempted to just eat and sleep and my sisters cheese cake does not help.

"Cooking makes me happy" - Christina Vera

"Cooking makes me happy" ?!?! Did those words just come out of my mouth? I guess it was bound to happen one day. lately it has just been a lot of grilling outside. It has been hot, but i have been preparing all the food and making all the sides. A big improvement from my usually top roman. LOL So with that, I am looking for small easy things to make for dinner. If anyone has any they would like to share please do.

Amber

This is my BFF Amber from New York. She has a great voice. Don't Mind us screaming and the old guy walking by. LOL But her voice is so much better in person. Gives me chills.

The Most Expensive Movie Ticket Ever!

So thursday morning I saw the preview for "Away We Go" I emailed a certain person that I knew would love it as much as I. We decided to go see it however I could not find where it was playing near me. We found it but I was only playing in LA. So I jokingly said "road trip" But it really turned into one. We left Saturday around 5:30 pm and we arrived in Burbank at 11pm. We found a place to sleep and then hit the town. We found a small hole in the wall bar and had a few drinks. The next day we headed to the movies. It was great. So cute and I loved it. Then Rosco's Chicken and Waffles. I know does not sound like they should go together but holly moully it was good. It was the perfect end to a great last minute road trip. Great company and great conversation worth every penny!!!!

Uhh Laa Laaa

I have decided that I need to be more domestic. Today I made grandma's pozole. Yes me, I cooked!! I enjoyed it, yes it would be better to cook for two instead of one but I have to learn. I mean I have it all.... except the cooking gene. LOL Next I will try making Enchalladas. (Cant spell) I will keep you all posted on my cooking adventures. Oh and I also made this guacamole salsa. I am a regular Martha E' Stuart (Say with Mexican accent, Like E' Squirt). Ha Ha Ha. Also reading and learning from the book "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" I recommend it to all!! Have a great week!!!

"Mija...get the Letters" - Grandma

Ahhh.... New York was great. I was like Amber and I never missed a beat. So she had no idea that I was going there and I totally surprised her. She saw me threw the window at the restaurant and kicked her GF Tiffany out of the way and ran to me. It was great. 

We hung out, flew in a small plane to look over the city of Cortland (thanks to Tiffany's uncle who owns the airport and a few planes) we went hiking and saw so many beautiful water falls. I would post a picture but I don't know how. We also did kareoki (Cant spell) Well when I say "we" I mean Amber. For those of you who don't know she has such a beautiful voice. We just had a great time.

I made Grandma's green pozole and home make flour tortillas. It came out great. Amber made Carnitas and they we so good. We also had a few fresh margaritas a few nights, those too were great. It was just nice to be with my best friend. 

So get ready family because they want to come here this summer and Amber wants everyones recipes. She is the sister I never had and she totally wished she was Mexican. LOL!!!! Thanks for all the well wishes and blessing for my safe return. I love my familia!!! 

Good Times

Drama Free for sure. So I have been hanging out with my friend from high school. We always kept contact but since I had school and work we did not get to hang out a lot. But now that school is out we have been talking more. She is kind of going threw so stuff so i want her to know that even though I live an hour away I will always be there for her. 

So last weekend i went over to see her new place. Ended up staying for a drink and then going out with other peeps from high school. I had a great time. We were the only two girls in the group but it was great knowing that our guys would bail us out when the weirdos tried something and that we could all just dance and have a good time with no ties. They were like little brothers to me when i was in high school and middle school. (now they are all bigger them me) But it was fun to just go out in my flip flops and jeans. Dance my butt off and not have to worry that everyone is a couple. It was just fun.
