I only had three slices of pie. Gosh.

On holidays, atleast for me, it's a free for all. Diet are thrown out the window, calories don't exist, real life skills don't apply and all responsibilites go on pause for the weekend.

 

I decided that I am probably not the only one who feels this way. If any of you dare disagree with me, you are all filthy rotten liars and I am hardcore judging all of you.

 

 

Eat like we are going to the electric chair. Thanksgiving is known for these enormous amounts of food, long dining room tables that have every square inch of the table filled with something on it. I mean, I know my family has bread, cornbread, pasta, salad, antipasto, soup, and then the real meal of turkey, potatoes, all types of veggies, sweet potatoes, gravy, stuffing and then all the wonderful desserts that follow. I mean, us Irish-Italains, we eat like champs. Woot woot! But, we all eat like we are dying tomorrow and we are never going to see another piece of food for the next year until the next Thanksgiving. This my friends, is why the world is obese.

 

Take a nap after eating. Yes, we are all just so dang exhausted after we fill our little bellies with five pounds of mashed potatoes, but c'mon. That ain't healthy. I mean, I am totally not saying that we should all take a family job around the block after dinner, but sleeping totally defeats the purpose. You eat and then sleep. Spend some time with your family, jeepers! Play cards or something. Heck, watch some football!

 

Stay up all night to go shopping. I was always so incredibly against waking up and going Black Friday shopping. I always just wanted to punch everyone who went and waited in line for stuff. I mean, what's the point? I said that no one was ever worth waking up at an ungodly hour of the morning to go and buy something on sale. Homegirl don't play that. But, I caved this year. Well, kind of. I wanted to go, then didn't and then when I fell asleep around 11 PM, my mom woke me up and told me we had to go. I was not a happy camper. We last 45 minutes. We walked around the stores, because we didn't really have a game plan, we just wanted to see what it was like. Sooooo not worth it in my book. I would rather have sleep than save money. #sorryimnotsorry

 

Think it's okay to wake up in the middle of the night to eat a second meal. I am guilty. I have woken up in the middle of the night and went out and made myself another plate of food. It's usually mashed potatoes and whatever pie is left over. My belly likey the comfort food. Should I really be eating again after I stuffed my piehole all day? Probably not. Does that logic stop me? Not in the least.

 

In conclusion, we do cray cray crap during the holidays.

Just wait until Christmas, it gets worse.

Oh boy.

Gobble, gobble.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that you are all going to spending your day with your family, friends and loved ones enjoying some totally yummy food, awesome company, delicious desserts and maybe even a little pinch of football. No matter what you are doing today, I hope that you enjoy your day and think about all the wonderful thinkgs that you are thankful for and blessed to have.

 

 

Family // My parents are honestly the absolute best. I know all children say that, but my parents seriously are the bomb, like tick tick. They are super supportive of me, always have been and always will be. They don't care about anything but my happiness and well being. Good parent award to them! They always look in my best interest and want me to have a great life and just live life as a happy person. They brought me up in a Christian home filled with love and faith and I will always thank them for that. Also, my little furball, Ruby. She is a cutiepie who occassionally loves me - aka: only when I have food. But, she likes to hang out with me and play and just sleep, mostly sleep. But, I love my little pup.

 

Work // My job, my place of work and the people I work with are such a huge part of my life. I am honestly at work and with my co-workers more than I am with my family and friends. I am a super lucky person that I actually get to work with my dad, so I am always thankful for that, to always have him there. But, I have also built so many loving relationships with people, which made them a second family to me. I can honestly say that they all watch out for me and love me. I have an amazing friendships with some of them and I am so blessed and thankful to have all of those wacky Italians in my life - and the few Irish & Spanish ones ;)
And yes, that is Teresea from RHONJ in one of the photos.

 

Friends // My friends are the sisters I never had. My friends all even call my parent "mama" and "papa". They are seriously so connected to me and fill that void in my life of a sister. Being an only child was hard, but when I met each one of my girls, we have been inseperable since - including my cousin, even though we have been besties and sisters since I was born! These girls all have my back and will always support and love me. I am so blessed to have them.

 

 Among others things to be thankful for:
the invention of the iPhone, and all it's amazing apps like Instagram
Essie nail polish, because my nails always need to be lookin' fabulous
Dunkin Donuts, because God knew I needed it and created it just for me, no one else
Target and it's amazing products where I spend so much freaking money
Twitter, so I can know exactly what all my friends are doing at that very moment
Food, because who needs a man when you have amazing delicious goodies

Anyways...
Go eat some pumpkin pie for breakfast and be merry.
I mean, that's what I am doing.

Oh, how Pinteresting!

Happy Wednesday turkeys & pilgrims. How are you all doing today?

I hope you are doing better than me, who is hiding behind her lapstop screen, drinking gallons of coffee to stay awake who needs to sit through four hours of a professor blabbing and plow through a six hour shift at work. Yeah, now you should pity me.

 

Because I am not feeling a creative energy to post something witty and muy interesante due to the fact that I spent four hours writing an eight pager paper last night that is due today. I had to bullcrap my way through the paper about 1960's women's rights. Riveting, I know. So, when in doubt, pin it out.

 



 

 

I think that this look is just adorable! I love the pops of pink, and I would totally own those shoes. Pink with bows?! It's a must have. It's a modern take on something classy and elegant. Kind of reminds me a little of Audrey Hepburn.

 

Found a recipe for this Italian egg biscuits and I totally died! My Nana used to make these all the time. I remember I would go over when I was little and we would make them together. I actually really want to try out the recipe for Christmas and see if she approves.

 

My inner conflicts all the time.

 I hate you. I love you. Let's be friends. You're a loser.

 

Yes. I like them and I can not deny. I mean, there is just something about a big ol' cup of coffee in the morning just to warm your heart. Cheesy, I know!

 

Essie's "Recessionista". Goshdarn, I like this color, I like it alot! But, whenever I go to buy it, it's always sold out. I need to get my hands on this, because I have the perfect color that can be an accent nail. Dang it Target, you need to re-stock this color!

 



 

I should be up at six. So, wake me at 6:30.

Happy Monday, babes! I hope that you are able to make it through your Monday kicking and screaming, with three cups of coffee and without stabbing a co-worker. I mean, at the end of the day that's what I look at: the possitives. I lived, I am slightly more awake and no one died. Success!

 

Guys, I seriously suck. S.U.C.K. Because I come onto Blogger on my Monday morning (when I am trying to keep myself occupied during my 8 AM torture English class) and read about how my favorite blogs had such a wonderful weekend with their friends and adorable boyfriends and then I look back at my weekend and I just think "daaaaang, I am boring". Sorry I am not living the exciting life yet, but it's coming! You just wait, babies!

 

This weekend I did work Friday and Saturday; I had plans for Friday night but they canceled, so I ended up going out to dinner alone and having a grilled cheese and big ol' bowl of amazingly home-made rice pudding. #YOLO #SingleGirlProbs Then my wild Saturday night consisted of a shower and stuffing my face with a calzone, and splitting a pizza with my dad. (you would think I weigh 1,245 pounds) Sunday I went to church and out to breakfast. I then headed up to work to visit my homegirl Michele and sit with her on her lunch break and I saw some of my fellas and spent a little time with them. I ended my Sunday on a great note that including some pumpkin pie, eggnog and the American Music Awards. (Sidenote: Taytay did AMAZEBALLS in her performance of "Trouble" ah, I love my twinnie so stinking much!)

 

I am sooooooo not looking forward to my week because I am working everyday this week, which will give me just about 40 hours. I mean, I am not gunna complain about the big fat check. A dolla makes me holla, honey! I just know that I am going to be freaking exhausted. Dunkin', this is why God gave me you. (Yes, I went all Blake Shelton right there, whatchya gunna do bro?!) But, I do love my co-workers and this is just gearing me up for Christmas. #FoodIndustryProbs

 

May your Monday be merry and bright.

Yes, I started listening to Christmas music.

You should too.

 



Questionable purchases of a shopaholic.

I love to shop, and I can not lie. None of my friends they can deny. Cause when I walk into Target with a red basket and money in my wallet I get broke.

 

Hey hey, who knew this little blonde thang could rap with the best of them?! And by the best of them, I mean that one time when Taylor Swift rapped with T-Pain. I mean, I am by no means amazeballs, but I try, for a white girl.

 

Now, onto my real post which is how I have a problem with having money in my wallet and spending it on really stupid things. I mean, like, things that don't even make sense. I am going to walk you through some of my most recent purchases and you can tell me that I am a crazy loon and need to be taken away from stores in a straight jacket.

 

Awkward purchase #1 is Purple Lipstick. Like, wait. WHAT? Who on Earth buys purple lipstick. I mean, people usually know what kind of colors work for them and then there are those people who love makeup and just buy up e'rythang. But I just bought it. I just bought it for the heck of it. Now, I need to find the most appropriate place to wear it. Can I even pull off purple lipstick? Who the heckers knows.

Oh, stop! Thanks Britbrit!

 

 

Awkward purchase #2 is three packages of Christmas cards. Guys, guys, guys. IT'S NOT EVEN DECEMBER. Does this make me a wackadoodle? I feel like it may be money wasted but then I was like, shooooot girl I bought these and I got them ready before e'rybody else. But seriously guys, three packages, just chilling in my desk, waiting 40 days to be used. Rad. I am ahead of the pack, Go me!

 

 

Awkward purchase #3 is a large lint roller. It's practical, and only a dollar at Target. Yes, all of these things are very true. But, what you don't know is that I carry it in my purse. Yes, I carry around a big honking lint roller in my adorable Michael Kors bag. What even? I don't really need a lint roller, but I will always be prepared in situations like "OMG MY VICTORIA SECRET SWEATSHIRT FUR IS ALL OVER MY YOGA PANTS." Yes, I will be there with my lint roller to take all of the little fuzz babies off of you. I gotchya back, homes. Don't judge me!

Don't look at me like that Britbrit!

 

I make a lot of questionable purchase and this is by no means the weird ones. But, I thought that I would share this week's silly things I blew my money on; besides lots of gingerbread lattes, holla!
