You know you are a mami when...

when your 2y/o asks in a full sentence "mami, I want to watch Airplanes. Please" and you suck it up and watch it for the 2nd time within 3 hours.

Me likey... audiobooks!!

I have about an hour+ commute to work each way, so I spend a lot of time in the car. One way to pass the time is listening to audio books. It is easy, entertaining, and it makes the time fly by. Sometimes I get home, park in the garage, and stay there for a minute so I can keep listening.... from time to time my hubby comes and check on me when I do that. 

I have read many books that I love, like:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Tori Spellling Books
Fifty Shades of Gray - trilogy

----The list goes on----

But, in the last few months I have been introduced to many multi-books series that I love:

Poison Princess "The Arcana Chronicles" by Kresley Cole

Divergent, Insurgent -- and I will listen soon to Allegiant by Veronica Roth
*Awesome narrator - same narrator as the Poison Princess... very talented!!

Naked Werewolf series by Molly Harper

The problem with series, is that once you read them you might have to wait a few months or a year for the next book to come out.

I'm currently listening to Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

I got curious about this book after watching a preview of the movie a few days ago. The movie is coming out I believe October, but I couldn't wait... it looked so good, I had to know more. So far I'm hooked!!!

If you spend a lot of time in the car, give audiobooks a chance. They have an app for Apple or Andriod phones. Enjoy listening!!!

Ok, so I'm totally a reality show addict... I was going to use the word that rimes with shore, but this is a family friendly blog!! I think 2 or 3 ago the show "Most Eligible Dallas" premiered on Bravo, and I was completely hooked. Hey, I live in the DFW -- Dallas-Fort Worth area, so I can live vicariously in the Dallas cool and beautiful socialite scene through this people, right? So, I fell in love with Courtney... yes, the girl that got steamy kissed against the wall by best friend/bad boy Matt. So hot!! 

Anyway, last year Bravo gave her, her own show "Courtney Loves Dallas", where we follow her after she quit her job in retail and she becomes a full time fashion blogger. #Iwantthatjob!!! The girl might be a little ditsy in some areas of her life, but she is a smart cookie and has made a name for herself. She is collaborating with Bauble Bar on some awesome pieces. So, all that to show you this... look down, now!!

I LOVE her fashion sense. Don't get me wrong, I can't wear most of the things she wears, wore, photo blogged, but I this chubby girl can love it!! 


Ok, bye!! I will be writing more often, I need to... so much to say!!


*P.S. This is a bonus, the episode of the steamy hot tub and kiss me against the wall scene... thank me later!! http://www.bravotv.com/most-eligible-dallas/season-1/videos/betrayals-a-weekend-getaway-and-more?cid=related_sfv_OCT13_A

 

Mami's has been busy...

This is I think the 2nd or 3rd time I start a blog. I decided that this time I was going to work on it a little more. This was before I decided to go back to school.

Yes, I'm back in school. This translates to I'm burned out!! A full time job, 2 boys under 2, and school is a lot to handle. But I'm doing pretty good. I'm on my second of eight classes that I have left to finish by BA. Yeeeeez, I've been working on this, it seems like all my life. But, I'm just a few months away.

I just want to have that diploma and be able to start my job search again. These days, where some many well educated people are still unemployed it is very difficult to land a job. I have tons of experience, but some jobs require a BA or a Master... yes, they say required!! Hey, I have seen receptionist jobs that require a bachelors'. That is insane!!

Anyway, it's a little past midnight and I need to go to bed. I will post more soon, so many things to talk about... kids misbehaving at school -- how do you handle it?, my guilty pleasure = reality TV, product reviews, and more!
