Well the food was good and thats all that really matters right? lol Gonna have leftovers for dinner, which I am REALLY looking forward too!

I kinda saw a commercial for the Luck One but I dont remember what it was about, but Zac Efron does look good in the movie. Very much grown up lol So yea we can either do the movie and drinks at my place or your place! If we do it at my place maybe I can make frank do some bbq food too!

Ah ok then, I am sure we can tie it up nice and tight. He doesnt slip out of his harness right? Before we trusted phoenix out back without a leash we would tie her up and she would sit there, but then if frank and I went inside, all of a sudden she was standing next to me in the kitchen LOL I'd be like... how the hell... She no stupid. She can slip out of her harness any time she wanted to and she knew that LOL Luckily she is now trustworthy so we can let her run around with no worries! I am REALLY looking forward to BBQ days though... Im so hungry...

Yea maybe I will have some sangria tonight with dinner lol yea like I said when I had the drink at the bar I went to all I kept thinking about was how the drink reminded me of spring/summer. I still have to perfect it!

Haha I get like that with books and relationship sometimes. It kinda sucks getting that meh feeling, but like you said maybe you need to read a nicer relationship book cause the ones you described sound kinda sad/depressing... lol!

Ive been reading mostly paranormal fiction so not much relationship mehness there, it just makes me want to hook up with a hot vampire or werewolf... lol! Btw my coworkers daughter red fifty shades of grey and there are definitely parts in that book that get you all hot and bothered LOL

lol Yea I am the only weirdo that doesnt mind sand in my food because it reminds me of when I was younger.. Oh yea! Those strawberry lemonades are awesome and I am looking forward to those too!

Yea that wine pheonix does it weird... lol! And yea I saw tucker barking at phoenix cause she wasnt letting him get her LOL I was like "oh you so silly tucker..."

Yea I thought this weekend was gonna be a bit different then what it was lol. Frank and I thought we were going to all sit and eat dinner together like we normally do on holidays, so we were both kinda like awww.. when we found out everyone ate already lol! You can always come over to our place and we can watch/drink to movies together! And sorry about you having to seperate food and stuff by yourself!

I cant wait until it gets warmer out so we can do bbq's and sit outside. You can get tucker a longer leash and just tie him up to the stairs so he can still run around a little but not run OFF lol

Yea we took the sangria home. There was a lot leftover. I used the pitcher you told me about so I just gotta remember to bring it back to PA next time we head out there.

Well then you need to tell manny that you need your own date nights, no brothers allowed LOL Sometimes you just gotta tell them straight out that you wanna spend some time with them ALONE! lol

I just hate getting sand in places there shouldnt be sand but other then that I love the beach. I used to go a lot with my parents and sister when we were younger so going to the beach is always exciting to me. Even eating sandwiches that somehow have collected sand on them are awesome LOL! All that reminds me of good times as a kid :)

Yea I did some major cleaning in our bedroom last night, spent all day dusting, organizing, and clean and I STILL have to finish up clearing my desk and dusting one of our chests in that room... But I started going through my jewelry, throwing stuff out that I dont use, fixing up my wardrobe so my shoes are all lined up, hung up my bags and put away my makeup, so yea I guess I am girly... LOL But all the colors of my wardrobe are dark colors. I really like getting dressed up when I am going out somewhere nice cause since I dress in jeans and a tee all the time for work, I want to feel awesome when I am going out!

Haha you tell phoenix! She shouldnt be barking angrily at anybody! lol At least she is starting to like playing with tucker. This weekend they are going to go nuts.. again lol

Yea frank was telling me this weekend we will talk about vacations and stuff. This should be a nice weekend :) Yummy food, good drinks, crazy dogs, and vacation talk!

I have to buy this stuff for the sangria this friday. Im thinking about buying enough to make 2 pitchers if need be cause I know I can kill one all on my own... LOL SO good! I told frank its the kind of drink you have when its really nice out and so you sit outside with a nice refreshing drink just enjoying the day!

I cant hit up zuesy baby too much cause sometimes he is just disappointing and tends to take out money... LOL I gotta pace myself with those games! Also gotta play jackpot party! Sometimes that game is good to me... But I am REALLY looking forward to just staying at a hotel away from brooklyn! lol

Frank wanted to go last summer to the beach a lot too but because of his work schedule and him having to work every other sunday it screwed things up, but ever since we first went to LI beach he enjoyed it and has wanted to go back. I think because that beach is so nice and clean and quiet, COMPLETELY different then Coney Island/Brighton beach lol

Im girly when it comes to going out, I love dressing up, putting on my heals, doing my makeup and hair. Its more me liking to look sexy then girl. Now my sister is girl! She wears the pink all the time with the side pony tail and the cutsie earrings and stuff like that LOL I cant do that.. I think I have one pink dress, and its a pale pink, a nice summer dress but thats about it! I cant do pink unless its makeup lol and even then I dont really wear much pink makeup. Im more like the sexy devil then the pretty princess... LOL But the Tea Room is all about the girl, little doilies, little tea cups, old thin petite waitresses with the short cut white hair that are soft spoken LOL completely different then what you would get at a NY restaurant, thats why I enjoy it. They even give you a big flower pen to sign your bill with haha!

Yea phoenix doesnt care for water. Even when I give her a bath she has this pathetic look on her face LOL But once she is out of the bath she goes NUTS. Zooming back and forth in the apt, jumping on the bed, rolling all over the place lol I remember my first dog being like that, and even Cody, my ferrett, was like that after a bath too! Its lots of fun lol

It feels like only a few weeks though... lol Yea I have vaca coming up at the end of april, going to florida for a week. It feels like non stop vacations for me.. Im lovin it! In november frank and I went to AC for a few days, then Feb the cruise/PA, now april forida, and May AC again. Woohoo!!

Oh I am REALLY looking forward to dinner next week. I told your mom I wanted to try and make the white sangria I had at a bar for the dinner so I have to go buy the stuffs. I may ask your parents to get me some strawberries from produce junction too! I need to get cava white wine, grand manier, white grape juice, strawberries, and mint leaves! mmm mmmm mmm! Im so hungry....

So is Manny going? lol All the guys can drink together and all of us ladies can go off and do our own thing! Like looking for zuesy baby! lol

I feel guilty for not being as social as I used to be, and yea I blame it all on BPL lol cause the computers have been super slow here for a long time and so I just gave up. During work is when I did all my sparking so after the comps here started slowing up i kinda stopped hopping on. But I dont think we should feel like its a bad thing, the most important thing is keeping track of our nutrition and fitness and thats what spark is for. I try to catch up with a few of my spark friends every once in a blue but I dont thnk we should feel like we are bad for not being social. Like for example I am getting a bit overwhelmed with one of my spark teams and I REALLY feel like I shouldnt be feeling like spark is work and stressing me out LOL Sometimes I kinda just wanna go on hiatus lol

Oh yea, I am hoping we get more free rooms after may! lol I would love to go back!

Yea frank has been saying, thats it this year whenever I have off on sunday we are going to the beach! lol Gotta get him some new swim trunks!!

The Tea Room in florida isnt that bad, the prices are pretty decent, lol its not like the one she went to where you would have to save up a months worth of salary to afford.. Actually if I got to orlando during the time im in florida and someone can take me to the tea room I will send you a pic of how it looks! LOL SUPER girly!

There is a dog beach somewhere but I forgot where. There arent very many anymore. There is a little spot, its called the dog beach I believe but its just a lake lol, in prospect park that the dogs can swim in during off leash hours. We tried getting phoenix up in there but she wasnt havin it lol. Im actually excited for phoenix, I feel bad for her during the winter cause she has no fat to keep her warm haha so during the summer its nice cause she is super happy, loves the warmth, her tail goes bananas. Plus since she is not wearing a jacket covering up her brindle fur, everyone gets to see her beautiful color!

Ive never been to that place in SI.

Well just a few more weeks before AC! My dad and maggie are really looking forward to it. Frank and I can already see my dad and your dad sitting next to eachother drink grand marnier's lol!

No I havent emailed her yet cause I hardly go on myself for the same reasons you dont go one lol I love my spark friends and spark teams but at this point I havent really been in the mood to be social. I just want to log on to track my food and fitness and thats it! lol

Oh I hardly EVER straighten my hair anymore cause there is no point. Since I am always working out, it will just get frizzy and curly and will take me another hour to fix it up again so its straight. To much work! lol

We were thinking of friday the 11th and saturday the 12 for AC. The beach bar doesnt open until memorial day weekend which is sad lol I really liked the beach bar and wanted to go to it again!

Oh good! I need to order the two bikinis I saw online at Victorias Secret. Gotta get my motivational bikinis lol I just want to do more beaches and brunches. And hey even if we go to that restaurant early in the day, you can always have a brunch cocktail and so that gives you permission to drink in the afternoons! But yea frank definitely wants to do the beach a lot this year!

I would totally do tea time! lol There is a place in florida called the tea room. Its a REALLY cute/girly kind of place. Sort of reminds me of when you see movies or shows with little girls having their own little tea partie lol But the food is so good and its just different then going to the regular ol' restuarants, I enjoy little things like that heehee

Im just looking forward to bbq's, flip flops, shorts, no jackets, walks to the park, and eating outside at restaurants! I told frank I want to do a picnic this year in the park, so we have to do that too! lol

Yea when she told me that I was like "um... ok..." LOL Ima about to send a message like "listen you need to look for a new leader now cause I dont want to do this anymore.." lol. See thats how I am, I rarely get on the comp when I get home cause I just want to relax, eat dinner, and watch a movie or one of the tv shows we usually have to catch up on. So I havent been on as much as I used to and I feel like I am letting down my spark friends cause I dont visit them as much as I used to lol.

Yea he is a nice guy and I remember when frank found out his brother was sick, but luckily he is fine now. Sometimes you have to go through something scary in order to really have that motto. lol You have it on good hair days, thats good!

Yea I want to be done with these credit cards already lol this is what has me broke and I dont want to worry about not having enough money to go out during the summer cause I AM gonna make this an awesome summer! Dont worry if frank doesnt work on a sunday and manny doesnt feel like going to LI beach, frank will take us! I want to try that restaurant thats right on the boardwalk, I dont know if you remember it when we went to the beach last year, but I wanna go tanning then afterwards have lunch at that place, or any of the other places around there.

Oh man I love going to brunches! I havent been to one by a beach but frank did the brunch on a boat last year and I enjoyed it a lot! I cant wait for summer either! I want a beach body too! lol

Yea I had asked the actually team leader a while ago if we should get a third person to help because I wasnt always on and she is hardly on, and she said "lets just push eachother and we can motivate eachother and then we can motivate the team." I was like, fine.. but now its just me and let me tell you, that Jillian Michaels team is not a small team, there are a TON of people who are on that team so its hard to keep up!

That sounds good for the second month. I think frank and I will be ok cause we are doing the workouts together so if we dont get to do it in the morning we do the workout at night.

We go down the block sometimes during the week, but for the most part its on a friday when we go. The last time we went it was either a friday or a thursday, I forgot. Its when we saw franks friend miguel. Its just nice to get out.

I am hoping that I can pay off my other credit card bill soon so that its TWO less bills to worry about, cause I paid off my other one, then I will have more money in my pockets, and then I can have money to go out! I told frank I want to go to brunches, there are a few I wanna try in manhattan, I know how much you LOVE manhattan lol! But they are really nice ones where you go nicely dressed, I want to try A LOT of the restaurants by us cause there are so many new ones that we havent tried yet.

Frank definitely wants to go to LI beach this summer too, so yea. Summer is gonna be awesome!

lol its ok, it has been a long week and the computers ate work DO suck. This is why I am hardly on spark and so I havent been keeping up with my friends, and its hard for me to keep up with the Jillian Michaels spark team because the ACTUAL spark team leader is never on, and it was just the two of us, and so now I gotta do everything lol I told frank I shouldnt be stressing over posting new topics and stuff on my spark team, this shouldnt feel like a job lol Ohs well!

Yea I am really glad we are all doing insanity. I like it a lot. I cant wait until maybe another week or two when I will see results! Thats how I felt once we got phoenix. I had time in the morning to go for my morning jogs and work out and stuff, but then when we got her, all that time was dedicated to her in the mornings. You will figure out a way dont worry, you still got a couple of weeks before you have to worry about the hour long workouts lol!

Yea eww... Idk if I wanna read anne rice now that there is that nast part in the boook. *gag* lol!

Dont worry next time you come over you can look through my library lol it aint going nowhere.

We should all go out soon, I had a good time last night, and I am going out for a friends bday tomorrow. I like going out, makes me feel young and like I have life and I am not just a home body LOL! When frank and I go down the block to the bar I love it, cause even though its only down the block, its still out of the house and we have a good time. Summer is right around the corner which means elora's outdoors! Woohoo!!

I definitely can get away from life for a good amount of time lol I need a nice long break sometimes to feel refreshed. Unfortunately BPL doesnt let that feeling last for very long once you get back to work... Bastards!

I couldnt stand all the ST in p90x lol I think I'm the only one who didnt mind the yoga. I like cardio A LOT more then ST so Insanity is fun for me. p90x wasnt that exciting for me, I got bored easily. The only workout I really like is the kenpo workout. All the others I dont care for.

I am TRYING not to checkout that many books LOL I used to have like 50 and I NEVER got to any of them and so they just took up space in my room. Now I just check out a few that i know I will get to, then return them, then checkout another few! Most of the books on my card are craft stuff. lol The little elves are making you read ya??

Aww I didnt mean to turn you off with donna boyd! her writing is like Anne Rice but not as bad, detail wise, as Anne Rice lol. Donna Boyd makes werewolves sound like beautiful creatures which I like. I also like Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. I gotta get the second book to the series but its a quick read, I have it at home if you are interesrted! Since you guys are coming over this weekend your more then welcome to look through my little library lol!

Yea I have been feeling really bloated the last couple of days cause of the stuff I have been eating. My tummy isnt liking it. I dont feel TOO crappy because my tan is making me look like I got some tummy muscles and stuff lol! I gained back the weight I lost before the trip so I am back up to 165 but I dont really feel discouraged because I am starting to get into my routine, and since we are starting up insanity, I should lose it, and hopefully have a flat tummy, by the time summer comes around! I just have to remind myself that I am actually at the weight that I was in high school, and I actually liked the way I looked then, so its not that bad. I just need to lose 10 pounds to get to my goal weight and I am will 100% loving myself! Its weird though, its like once you have reached your goal weight, and you gain a few pounds, you look at yourself in the mirror and think your fat. We are the chicks they make fun of in the movies LOL! Like why chicks when the burnett was having a breakdown in the changing room.. SO sad! lol

I caught the tail end of Live with Kelly this morning and she had just finished making cake in a cup. It was chocolate cake mix that you put in a mug and then heat it up in the microwave. She said the recipe is up on her website and I REALLY want to get it but I am afraid that once I know the recipe ima be making cake in a cup like every night.. o.o

Weekend is almost here! Just gotta get through today and friday and then BAM! Pernil, ham, arroz con gondules, tostones, cake, and drinks in our souvenir cups! lol

Oh I can be away from regular life for a LONG time and I will be just fine! LOL

Its a little sucky to be back, but since frank and I had off for a week and a half, I am not dreading going back to work. I am happy to be around my workout stuff again cause I need to now get rid of this vacation weight I packed on! lol But yea it kinda made me excited for summer. I definitely gotta work on flattening out my tummy for the beach!

I should have at least 1 book waiting for me at work! I am super excited lol its my favorite author and I have been looking forward to her next book for a while! I also should be getting the second book to the hunger games series. It was actually a pretty good book and I am looking forward to how the movie is going to look. Now I am reading a donna boyd book called the promise. There is a quote on the cover from another author that says "donna does for werewolves what anne rice did for vampires." something like that, which is true. I read the first book to this story which was called the passion and I really enjoyed how she portrayed werewolves, and so I finally put this book on hold before going away on vaca not knowing it was the second book to the passion.

I have so many books I want to read but I feel like not enough time! lol

I wake up kinda late in the mornings so no time for sparking! lol Gotta spark a little tonight though since I am not going to be anywhere near a computer for like a week and a half!

I packed up my coconut lime verbana, this other one I have from victorias secret that kairi got me for christmas one year, I forgot what its called but it has like a coconut citrus kinda smell, and I packed my victorias secret body spray, very sexy, cause it smells like coconut and I love it! OBVIOUSLY I love my coconut scents lol!

Its been so long since I have gone to bath and body, I have to hit it up one of these days to get the new scents!

I am all packed and ready to go! I got all my makeups and clothes and books and jewelry and shoes! LOL Im ready!

lol! Your so good.. I try to read around frank but if the book that I REALLY need to try and concentrate with, then I cant read around frank cause then he keeps talking and asking questions and then after a while he starts asking "are you mad?" Or stuff like that and then I get mad and say "No Im just reading!!" LOL SO I like doing stuff that I have to concentrate with when he is asleep or not around, but watching movies or tv shows, or eating breakfast or dinner I cant do without him, I always wait for him!

Ewwww lestate... gross..

I am the same way with holds, lol I like when they come in for me, gives me something to look forward to at work!

I dont get on the comp to often when I am home, I'd rather do other stuff, so I dont update my spark stuff very often. Tumblr I add stuff here and there, and shelfari I usually do at work when I am on desk heehee But I havent really been on spark lately so I gotta catch up with some peeps today so I am probably not gonna be on much tomorrow and tuesday, and then wednesday we are GONE! Woohoo!!

Today I have to clean! No more shopping for me lol I got the toiletries needed for the cruise yesterday, and some makeup to go with my dress heehee, and so I am SET! Today I clean and pack!

Have fun shopping!

By the way, if you like evanovich's books, I think you might like Kate White's books. They are mystery chic-lit books, not funny like the stepheny plum books, but they are good. One of the books to the series that she wrote is over her dead body. You can just look up that book here or look up kate white and it should show you which book is book 1 to that series.

Tomorrow I am going to wake up nice and early and start cleaning the apt, I dont think frank and I will be able to move the furniture so the book case can be moved to his room, but I will at least make room and stuff so that when we get back from our vaca we can do it. I have heading back to barnes and noble again and so my book collection is going to start growing again because I want to buy all the books! LOL I usually just go to the scifi/fantasy section and buy books from there. Like yesterday we went and I bought the 4th book to one of Rachel Caine's series, which I didnt know came out! I was like another one! Must. Get! And then I bought a Patricia Briggs book because I have been wanting to try her stuff out. I also want to start buying the rest of the books to the Kim Harrison series that I love. I definitely want those books in my book collection cause at some point I want to read them all again. Im a boo hoarder.. lol

Phoenix cant stay out in the heat too long either but its not as bad as tucker cause she hardly has any fur.. I just have to keep her in the shade cause if not she can get a sun burn... lol

Yea I dont like books with SO many details. Thats why it was hard for me to get into Anne Rice's books. I read the first book to her vampire series, Interview with a Vampire, and I enjoyed it, but when I started reading the second book, Vampire Lestat, I couldn't finish it.. I want to try and give it a second chance though lol cause I heard her vampire series is really good.

I dont know if I would go to the library to read lol because working at one I know how noisy it can get! But I would definitely go to coffee spots and get a big cup of coffee and just read there. Last Sunday, I woke up early, made me a cup of coffee, and just sat at the kitchen table and read my book while frank was sleeping and chris was playing his game and it was awesome! I gotta do that more often..

I havent tried those books yet, I heard they are a little tough I guess to read. But I heard they were good, the movies were definitely good!

Frank has been trying to convince me to move his closet thing to the bedroom, and move the bookshelf I have in the bedroom to the computer room. I have been saying no no no cause I like the way it looks there, but now I am thinking about it, and if we do swap those two things then I can get me ANOTHER bookshelf and so I want have to trip over my books in the bedroom no more!! Woohoo! lol I was going through my locker at work and pulling out books to take home with me and I am just like, omg where the hell am I gonna put you guys...

I love going to starbucks, or barnes and noble, to read. Sometimes I just need to get out of the house cause then I feel like I am a trapped animal lol Plus, for example yesterday and today, I had like 100 pages left in my book yesterday, I was trying to finish it but frank kept talking to me, and joking around, and just interrupting my reading, and then this morning, I am trying to finish up the last few pages and my coworker kept talking to me and interrupting my reading. Thats why I like going somewhere where I can drink a cup of coffee and read without having to worry about anyone interrupting me lol Thats another reason why I can wait until it gets warm out, because during last summer, when I had a day off, I'd pack a back with a blanket, some water, and a book, and take phoenix to the park, and then I'd set out the blanket on the grass, and read while phoenix sits and enjoys the sun next to me. I loved that and I want to do it again, like right now! lol

lol Yea I only buy soft cover books because they are 8 bucks, hardcovers are too expensive! lol But yea most of my books are donations and deletions. I still have a ton of books in my locker at work that I need to bring home but I have nowhere to put them because my book shelf is packed! But I just cant stop taking books that are in really good condition and that I am interested in reading. I'm a book hoarder...

I cant say I ever cut school and went to barnes and noble to hang out there lol but before we got phoenix after work I'd go to barnes and noble, pick up a book, then go to the little starbucks in there, get a coffee, and start reading my new book and just stay there until frank got out of work and then I'd pick him up. I told frank that I want a library room like the one beauty got as a gift from the beast LOL!

But yea whenever you want come up, just let me know beforehand so I can clean up my room so you have room to actually look at the books lol

Unfortunatelly I dont think the kim harrison book will come on time.. Booooo! lol Yea I am going to take about two books cause of the plane ride, and also while sun tanning and stuff I will read! The Hunger Games book should be coming in if not tomorrow, the day after, so I will take that one and this book called City of Souls thats by Vicki Petterson or something like that. Its part of the Zodiac Signs series, which I kind of like. If you ever just want to come over and look at my book collection your more then welcome to lol! I have a pretty big selection of books..

I have up to I believe book 11 of the stephanie plum books, so just let me know when you finish those, I can give you the next coupld of books. I am up to book 6 now.

Yea thats one reason why I like buying books cause I like not worrying about when I have to return it. I love walking through the Barnes and Noble, picking out new books, and buying a new book mark, lol I just enjoy it a lot.

lol cool. I think I read one of her books a LONG time ago but I cant remember. Yea her books look like they are a lot about summer time and stuff like that. YA books are pretty good and fast reads like the rachel caine books. I have to start the series over so that i can have the characters and events fresh in my mind because there are a ton of other books to the series that came out and I havent read yet, but those books were fast reads! I'd finsih a book a day, but they were really good. The one I am reading now is ok, I am kinda getting into it, its just I dont think I can read the books to this series back to back cause they are all like 900 pages long lol! I need a break from each book! I am trying to finish this one up cause I have hunger games in transit and another book called incediary by Chris Cleave, he wrote Little Bee, I dont know if you ever read that book but that was a good book, sad but good.

I am hoping the next book to Kim Harrison's series comes in before we go away cause I would really love to read that on the ship!
