Back to School Back to School

It's the first day of class!!!
It's the last first day of class in undergrad!

It's only 8:58 and today has already been a good day. I woke up on time, felt great. Put on some cute clothes made a mug of tea and headed off to hear about my independent fitness class. I love getting credit for something I already wanted to do anyways. It's fantastic. And my friend is in my class...plus she happened to be enrolled in Argentine tango and needed a new partner since her partner dropped the class...so I might be in that.

Currently...I'm cooking some breakfast, then I'll head off to work with my babies.

I'm just all smiles today. Probably a mixture of the goodness so far today, the high from performing for the MLK commemoration yesterday, and excitement for the rest of the day (TFA phone interview, hopefully booking spring break plans, hopefully some shopping, with luck a little Argentine tango, and of course a good time dancing it up with the Black Anthology dancers).

Catch ya later... PURRciZion

A Sunny Christmas Eve for Me

♫ ♪ Today is Christmas Eve! ♪♫ Sings Chiquita as she skips merrily around the kitchen making a breakfast of bacon and toast in her pjs and robe. When I wake up to things like this that I smile to myself and remember why I like coming home so much.

Today is Christmas Eve, and here in Florida its a fabulous day filled with sunshine and a high of 78 degrees. So Happy Christmas Eve! everyone, and if you don't celebrate the birthday of my friend Jesus, Happy Thursday and Enjoy the Sunshine!

Yesterday was as productive as I would have liked but I got a considerable amount of things done. Chiquita and I went to run errands and ended up trying to see Mrs. Katrina my favorite stylist but she's out of town, so no hook-ups on the hair for at least a weak, oh well ::shrugs...keeps it movin:: Then we went home picked up the other sister and headed to the mall. We enjoyed a brunch of our favorite, Chik-fil-A...where I discovered a girl from my graduating class now works. It amazes me how some people do a complete 180 because she's definitely someone I would have expected to leave town and do big things. Anyhoo, after the mall we went to our favorite store, Ross. I swear its better, than Kohl's, Marshalls, and TJ Max. Like REAL TALK, we find amazing things there. As soon as I walked in the door, I found all the gifts I still needed to get and spent less than $20 on three people on some amazing presents . Yay me!

When we got home, I informed Chiquita that it was time we start working out again. On of my RA friends shared with me this amazing workout plan called Couch to 5K. I hope to run in the March of Dimes so that's how I'm going to get ready. If anyone at school wants to work out next semester let me know! Check out the plan!: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

For the rest of the day I just pestered my mom and sisters and tried to evade doing chores. Oh! I also made this FYRE tortilla española.

Mmmmmm it was delicious. Sometimes I miss Spain so much. And Ecuador. I seriously think there has to be some Spanish or Latin American heritage in my family because it makes no sense how much I felt at home when I was abroad.

But enough with the reminiscing...I have to get a move on. Today's goals: wrap all presents, work out, clean room, plan next semesters RA programs, practice lines for BA and MLK celebration. Ready, set...GO!
