Today is a very beautiful day. It is the beginning of my 8 week furlough from work.
A furlough is kinda like a vacation only you don't get paid. In other words two months to relax and do whatever you want. lol. -at least for me.
I have so many plans for my time and I can't wait to get to them all.
My main goal is to lose the 20 lbs that took me only 15 months to gain. So losing them in 8 wks is just a snap. Right?! I am going to work out 4 nights out of the week and rest during the weekend. I will get back on track with the healthy eating. I have swayed a bit over the past week, but I will be back in motion very soon.
I am very determined not to be bored, however, there will be a whole lot of sleeping involved with this 8 week off thing.
I know that this blog is kind of blabbery but I haven't been on in a while so cut me some slack. lol.
During my time away from you I have been fairly busy, I picked a new habit that I have not put down since I started. GLEE!!!! I really don't know what took me so long to discover it but I'm surely glad that I did. I totally have Bieber fever and am dying to see him in Tampa in December. I've started on that path once again to make my dreams come true. I've started at John Casablancas and i'm beaming with excitement. I am focused and determined to make my dreams come true and I truly believe that JC is the way for me to get there. But unfortunately I have to go now and I will talk to you again soon.
Much Love

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Lately I've been looking at the person that I am and the person that I used to be. I saw that a whole lot of things have changed. If you ask some they will say that I've "...fallen off the path" or that I've "...lost my way", others would say that I'm pretty amazing, bubbly, and adorable...
Want to know what I say?
...I say that I've definitely gained some weight since I've last seen a photo of myself, and that my face has really cleared up.
... I say that my hair has been very well taken care of for the first time in my life and that my new found love of mascara really makes my eyes pop.
... But most importantly I say that I have gotten stronger, in my mind, in my thoughts, and definitely in my heart. I stand up for myself more (though I'm still looked upon as somewhat of a feeble individual) I'm still getting there.
I am beginning to take the reigns once again. I shall take control of my life. I shall make my dreams come true one day at a time. Slowly but Surely I shall make my light shine so bright for ALL the world to see.
...I recently talked with an old friend so that I could try to encourage him, he used to be such a dreamer, but somehow fell off of that bandwagon. He asked me what is an aspiration and this is what I shared with him. "...Something that you aspire to do or to be, with all of your being. It's like when you think about it you feel this rushing wind inside of you and you've got to calm down because if you don't you might hyperventilate because the excitement is so much that you can't contain it"
What are you doing to make your dreams come true?

Honesty, Honesty, Where for art thou Honesty?
When since was honesty a distant memory or latent thought in the far black holes of our minds covered in cob webs?
When since was it something to be afraid of?
There is a huge gigantic line between honesty and audacity, so why is the world covered in lies.
I will no longer be afraid to be honest though others may quiver at the sight of an honest mind.
I'm not talking about "White" lies like the ones you tell your girlfriend when she drags you to that movie and you tell her that you enjoy it when meanwhile you're thinking in your mind that you would rather have someone stick cattle prods in both of your eyes and light them on fire.
I'm talking about the big stuff. Like the inability to be who you truly are around your friends and family. The constant need to hide parts of yourself from the world and keep them in a dark corner to never be found again. Why be that person? Why not be you?
I challenge you to be yourself and to not let the critiques, thoughts, and decisions of others shape the person that you look at in the mirror every morning. Be someone who is free just to be.
I'm hoping that whoever you are, and wherever you may be that you are truly content with yourself and who and what you've become.
You will never has as much fun as being yourself, when you are being someone else!!!!

Julie & Julia
Watching Julie & Julia a very cute movie that revolves around the one thing that I love more than life itself...
FOOD!!!!!!
It made me re-evaluate my plans for my life. My current plans are to go to school and major in Spanish Secondary Education and don't get me wrong I love the Spanish Language, and though I'm not hispanic it makes me feel like I'm part of some exclusive club (very dorkish to say). But anyway I am a person with so many dreams and ambitions. Though teaching is one of the things that I would love to do it is not where my passion lies and I am deciding at this very moment to change my path. I will work towards my passion and dream of taking cooking classes to broaden my horizons and open a cafe. I already have a title. ~Mama A's Cafe~ in bright red neon lights on a building that resembles a cottage ( I don't know why I chose a cottage.lol.).
Today I will change my major or maybe even my college. I have decided to be more pro-active in my approach to my future. I will no longer just let my life flog past me.
I promise to be a little more consistent with my blogging. I know that I have fell off but I'm coming back baby and I'm coming strong.
