Well here we go. This is just me rambling at almost 2am( profanity included, you have been warned)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So I've been absent. For a while.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Partly because I seriously did not have anything earth moving to share,all is the same. Same job, same husband, same crazy nail polish hoarding.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Somethings have change a bit. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I discovered I'm jealous. Not in a mean-I-want-to-take-your-shit, but more on the yeah, I'm jealous and I wish I could do, buy, post what you have kind of thing.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I've also discovered that I have anger issues. I'm astounded by e amount of fake people around me. I'm mad I let my guard down, I'm mad that I care so much. I'm mad that I let it affect me.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I don't want to be a bitter person, I want to live my life, enjoy it to the fullest but the anger keeps creeping in. Even when I make it a goal not to care...here I am, with my bastard heart, caring again and getting my feelings hurt.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>And no, is not the Husband. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I know I cannot change people, so all I can do is move forward and understand that some individuals are NOT as amazing as you thought they where. That I have the power to let it affect me or to move on.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I just don't fucking want to care anymore. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want to se these fake ass people, pretending to care and yet doing the heck of a great job of being assholes, and not care. </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want to be able to tell them in their face, in a calm and respectful matter " hey, I think you are an ass, I think what you do is wrong, so please spared me the shock look when I don't speak to you and ask me a hundred times if I'm mad, because...why are you asking? Obviously you know you did something wrong and now you want to play coy. So excuse me if I no longer buy into your bullshit anymore. Fuck off."</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Nice, huh?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> I just think it's too long so I have to tweak it a bit.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>There...I think that's enough ranting for one night.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>If you are still reading...I am going to try to write more about NYC, what is really like living here (let me tell you, the whole visiting the hottest spots, the shopping and the whole Carrie Bradshaw idea of New York is NOT how most of us live.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>New York can be lonely.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I'll be back soon...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span>How Do You Celebrate?</strong></div>

2. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Do you like to celebrate it or do you prefer to keep it quiet?</strong> depends, I love to celebrate but not necessarily with a party, going out for dinner and hanging with friends are a favorite.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.984375px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
3. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Have you ever had a surprise party?</strong> Nope 'cause I am too OCD and control everything around me (or try too)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.984375px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">

5. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Do you tell the truth about your age?</strong> yes, specially since 90% of the time people think I am under 30 which being 37 it's the greatest compliment ever. (or maybe I'm just immature haha)</div>

Hello Monday! I actually don't hate Monday's and this particular weekend I was so busy I was actually looking forward to it (what?!). Our little guy turned Four and like every Mom out there I can believe it, this is why I tried so hard to enjoy every minute of being with him. Friday the Hubs had the day off too so we spend the day Downtown shopping for the supplies for a small gathering, my little guy sure loves NYC and going where all the hustle is. Besides his little gathering and making all the decor by hand ('cause I rock), there was a family affair on Sunday and boy do I enjoy them. Here are some pics of it all:</div>

It felt like winter was never going to leave us. Gosh how I love when it gets warm I can just hope on the train an go downtown, go see the city, go watch tourist be amazed by this city. We've been here unofficially for almost a year and still I feel like a tourist.<br />
I now know how to navigate the subways and most buses (thanks former job, you gave me the confidence to go out there).<br />
<br />
One of my most favorite friends that enjoys my downtown escapades has left me for 3 months. She left last weekend to train in TX to be a flight attendant. I am so proud of her, she has degree in Fashion Design and did well in the industry but after cuts and low budgets and unemployment she jump in at the opportunity to explore her love for traveling. oh but how I miss her...<br />

I know, sexy uh? not really but my feet have been killing me and I notice wearing traditional flip flops with no support do not help me, like AT ALL. then I remember I had these stack somewhere behind all my heels, dusted them off (They are over 10 yrs but I rarely use to used them so they look almost new) and oh my word, my feet where singing. So I told the hubs my ugly sandals are here to stay. And then I dusted this pair <a href="http://www.birkenstockusa.com/products/women/sandals/Gizeh">(the Gizeh)</a></div>

It may look a little hippiesh but seriously, the comfort of these are so worth it (you can also try them at QVC for easy pay) Once they molded to your feet it is the most comfortable sandal ever, I figure the back buckle would help me keep them on while going up and down all those stairs at the train station.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.984375px;">This weekend the Hubs turned 39, I had decided to get a small get together for him and it turned out great. The kick of it was that I have been tracking my food, not so much as dieting but to see what I am putting in my body, consequently I have been making better choices. I didn't even notice until my oldest mentioned that almost everything I made for the gathering was healthy: a fruit salad, Humus, homemade Salsa (the best ever, seriously) AND everyone ate everything and where asking for recipes! Yes, we had a taco dip and regular Dominican cake but it felt so good that everyone was on board with the healthy choices, go figure. The Hubs was so happy, he loves having people over and spending time with all of us.</span></span></div>

2. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Name the movie that you are most embarrassed to admit that you love.</strong> None since I proudly announce that I like all sorts of movies, I'm easily entertained no matter how silly/stupid.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.984375px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">

6. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If you could star in one reality show, which one would it be and why?</strong> The only reality show I watch is the Real Housewives (except the Miami one) -don't judge. It would be hysterical but I don't qualify for it :)</div>

7. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If someone rented a billboard for you, what would it say?</strong> I would like to think I would choose some inspirational quote about moving on and letting go, but I am in the process of healing and a little angry still so probably something among the lines of "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and F*YOU!"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.984375px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">

10. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If there was a movie being made about you, which actor would you choose to play you?</strong> Rebel Wilson or Ana Faris, we don't look anything alike but she has to be funny and able to make a fool of herself.</div>

This weekend was full on: Friday we took the little guy (along with some Family that came from abroad and my SIL and BOL),downtown to NY Museum of Natural History, our little Dino buff kiddo was going INSANE which was awesome to watch. He had been several times to the ones in DC but this time it was so different for him, guess he is getting bigger. We also walked around, had lunch and ended up in Central Park.</div>

There has been a lot of changes, as you know and I'm excited of all of them, even the ones that scare me. I'm learning to trust life, God, divinity and my gut. Things happen and you can either dwell on them or rejoice on the opportunity to change things, to have adventures and to learn new things. Like not to wear heels all the time no matter how downtown cool it may look.<br />

Last year was a difficult one, you all know that from all my sad little post. But I'm ok with that. I am owning up to say it was ALL OUR FAULT everything that happened to use. We are responsible and should own up to those facts. But I also realize other people should be held accountable for their actions, for being awful with us for giving us their back, for treating us poorly, for showing their true colors. They have EVERY right to be that way, and I have every right to not tolerate that, to move on and don't take their shit, to not make an effort for anyone that is not willing to make that effort to me.<br />
<br />
It is really sad to leave people in the past and behind you, people you once loved so much. But the lesson remains: not everyone is meant to be with you forever.<br />

I just want to say my piece and be done with it, move on and just share how much I am enjoying living here. Finding new places to shop, a new beauty place, going for deals at Target but I haven't been able to do that, I discovered I am still angry and hurt and it will take me a little while until I can post and not talk about the same thing over and over, so I opted for not posting. Does it makes sense? probably not but that is me, I don't make sense must of the time :)<br />
<br />
But things are changing and hearts are mending, spring is coming and with it a new perspective.<br />
<br />
I hope I can get it all in photos.<br />
<br />

OK, I may have some basic pieces but the majority of my clothes are either stained or eaten (from being in storage) or in serious need of replacement (I am looking at you grey pants). I also got rid of an insanity of clothing I have been keeping for God knows what.<br />
Seriously, the dress from my cousin's wedding from 10 yrs ago (way fancy and long, and I would never be able to wear it any where else), things that did not fit properly, items that I got as gift that look horrible on me...etc. I believe the total count was 3 massive Black plastic bags (the one's use for the outdoors).<br />
<br />
I still have a teeny tiny closet, but when I Google or look on pinterest for tiny closets they look like mansions compare to mine. Yeah, that tiny. But I am making it work.<br />
<br />
First, I decided that what I have does not work for me. I spent way too much time and effort to put an item together, and more time's than not I am not happy with what I am wearing or what I look like. SO I bought this ebook (mentioned before)<a href="http://www.thenobrainerwardrobe.com/about-the-book/">The No brainer wardrobe.</a> and decided I need pieces that work together for work, but that I can also alter to work on weekends.<br />
<br />
Then I found this amazeballs blog: <a href="http://www.puttingmetogether.com/search?updated-max=2013-02-17T21:25:00-08:00&max-results=7">Putting me together</a> and it has change my world. I cannot wait to go home and work somethings together. She is so fab and I love that I can see 7 different outfits using one key piece, like this:<br />

She is amazing! Please go check her out.<br />
<br />
I have started shopping for key pieces such as a white button shirt, a chambray shirt (Old Navy) so each paycheck I will get 1-2 pieces that can work with what I have. I cannot wait to try more of her tips.<br />
<br />
My goal is to be all set up by Summer! wish me luck.<br />

<br />
I am so glad I get an extra day to be home, Saturday we had family over and we didnt get to bed until after 3am! I made a dessert from the homeland and it was amazing (it's made out of red beans) and enjoyed some Valentine's themed movies.<br />
<br />
I know It has been the norm for me not to write in this blog.Is not so much that I don't have time (which I do not have much)but more of what to write about. I wanted to write about living in NYC, what I see everyday and the new job and all, but it all seems so silly when my camera has died (not completely but is not worth it, focus is off, etc) so I can't really show you much.<br />
<br />
I am planning on saving some $$ to get one rather soon but until then it seems boring to have post and no photos (and in case you didn't know I don't have a cell phone, in NYC,in these times, I get it, and no I don't have one).<br />

<br />
(above is the area where I work, no..not Macy's, but across the street from it)<br />
<br />
The things that I have learn so far:<br />
<br />
1.New York men will pretend to fall asleep in the train so they don't seem like jackasses for not giving up their seats.(I am still young but so many times I have to give my seat to the elderly or pregnant ladies because these guys wont).<br />
<br />
2.People will run you over in NYC. I don't walk fast and I don't rush or run to catch the train, there is always one behind. Apparently people don't know this because they will seriously push you out to get to one. Same thing walking downtown. I must look like a lost soul since I am always looking at the buildings and everything around me rather than rushing.<br />
<br />
3. In case you think people are kidding EVERYTHING is more expensive here. Going to the market makes "me heart flutter". But you can find ANYTHING at ANY time.<br />
<br />
4.Life can be good in NYC. Lots of family around, people visiting, gatherings. It has been good to us so far. (Both the Hubs and I have new jobs- he started today).<br />
<br />
5.I am really not a health food fanatic. We have a chef at work that cooks healthy and balance meals (which makes me insane), and even though they have fruits and snacks for us by 3pm I am dying for a snickers bar. Some day I do hope to get used to it. Hecks, I am saving some major cash with their food since is free. Oh, Quinoa how I loathe you.<br />
<br />
6. SHOPPING IS FUN! there is so much to see. So many places with cool unique things, plus is enjoyable just to window shop. I am downtown now and is so easy to pop to a store at lunch break.<br />
<br />
7. There is always something to do around here.<br />
<br />
8.Old buildings are gorgeous, unless you have plaster walls and old heating appliances, they are nuisance.<br />
<br />
9.I am glad we came around to a place that has a lot more culture than before, there is a lot more Spanish people around us and I hope the little guy will pick more of it now.<br />
<br />
10. IT'S NEW YORK BABY!<br />
<br />
I have to say change has been good so far, there are things that I miss a lot from our former home, but I also appreciate things that I have now and I am glad to be rid of some other things that I was holding on and where really not good for me.<br />
<br />
So there you have it, that's all that I've been up to. Job is good and busy, for the most part everyone is super nice, except for one person that annoys the crap out of me but just because we have different personalities, not because we have any issues per say.<br />
<br />
So off I go to finish cleaning the house, then off to lunch with the kiddo and then the market.<br />
<br />
Over & out<br />

Not only I got sick for the holidays, which made it really awful for me to work, but I got my aunt flo and a tooth ache in the same week. Not fun peeps, not fun.<br />
<br />
I am finally recuperating for being sick, finally went to the dentist (with no insurance) and I am back to work the streets of New York. The one AMAZING thing that happened to me was that I got a new job, one with office hours, one in the 34th street area, one where I do not have to work weekends, I get to travel, have insurance and one that would allow us to finally catch up with life!!!<br />
<br />
Turns out it was a job I had applied back in September, they kept my resume (which I thought It was bogus when people said they would) and they called me back, on the day that I was at my in laws, got an interview and the guy hired me right away. I am so happy.<br />
<br />
I start this week so I may finally get some pictures of downtown. I will share the few we got the weekend before Christmas; but first lets enjoy another Friend Makin' Monday!<br />

Yesterday was a quiet Rainy Sunday, the subway was not as packed, people where playing Christmas music in almost every stop I got off. I saw more kindness from others, it felt good to be walking in the rain...until I got to 34th street and people where going nuts about a new shoe release. Really? beats me. I sure hope Santa can afford to give me a camera soon.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I am joining FMM again!<br />

6. <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If you could change one thing about the last year what would it be?</strong> I would have much rather have a smooth move instead of being homeless, not have our stuff broken or stolen, but I have to say I DID learn something out of it and it force us to re-evaluated lots of things and prompted us to move to NYC.</div>

So I have been thinking (applause) about the things I want to do in the house, so many little projects, things to replace, things to paint and reorganize, give away, etc.<br />
Since our disaster move, where things got stolen or broken, half of our stuff is hanging with glue and hope. Some other stuff we can wait (and will wait) for them. I am getting in a new mood and feeling.<br />
<br />
I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I am, I realize what not having a home can do for one's soul, I hope you never have to. But I digress, I learn that no matter what my home looks like, it is MINE and is loved, and happy, and it keeps us safe and warm. So yeah, there is more important things right now, but that does not mean that we wont work hard to be and get better, so one day all those little projects can be accomplished. <b>One little step at a time</b>.<br />
<br />
So, for purposes of making my own project list, I will show you some of our rooms and what we plan to do in them.<br />
<br />
First the Kitchen. I do like it, I like having the table in a breakfast nook, sitting with my coffee and looking out the window. First we will paint, ass some shelves in the wall next to the fridge (ceilings are about 12ft)<br />
Next to the stove there is actually more space, I want to paint one side of the wall with chalk paint.<br />
You see this to the right of the entrance.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
This is part of the entrance, is shaped as a reverse L so this would be the long part. Kitchen entrance is before the tree.<br />
We want to take the shelves of the bookcase and put them higher with brackets so we would have space underneath it for a small Ikea Desk and situate the computer here. (hallway leads to bedrooms, bathroom, and there are 2 closets on the opposite wall of the frames)<br />

The living room actually gets tons of lights, therefore new curtains, get rid of all the scrapbook including the tower pf paper, the corner desk is broken and being held only on one side, so it will go once the entrance gets redone. Sorry for the dark picture and the mini Indiana Jones wanna be kiddo.</div>

So that is just some of them, the bedrooms also need some work, some paint, some new storage, curtains, but all in good time. Just being at home has been a good treat but I look forward to the days when I can start decorating again.<br />

OH MY someone was crazy enough to give me an award.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found out on my last post that the lovely Jenn has nominated me for a Liebster. Follow<a href="http://losingmyscrap.blogspot.com/2012/11/liebster-award.html"> her link</a> so you can see what is all about (sort of like paying it forward kind of thing).</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">
When I had a home I used to go all out with fog machines, strobe lights, a Big Halloween party. Now is more simple since we have a Halloween Movie night in which we do some fun trivia. For Christmas we are planning to do a Hot chocolate gathering but I also love doing all the decor for the Holidays and walking around seeing all the pretty homes and stores.</div>

And I'm gonna tell you the truth: I had NO IDEA it was this bad. We didn't have cable, internet or phones; our apartment is in the back garden which shapes like an U, our front trees where moving a lot, it was breezy but being from the Caribbean it did not look that bad. I actually slept with my window open (I kid you not).<br />
<br />
By Tuesday when we got the connection back and saw the news I was " what the heck?! where were we?!<br />
We did not loose power or water and now we know how incredible lucky we where.<br />
<br />
I went to work on Wednesday, so I check and the buses have been re routed, the main road is full of huge trees so I though, uhm, maybe some branches where down...instead I got this:<br />

Basically a huge trees fell down the road, one fell on FOUR cars crushing them (excuse the lack of detail since my dear teenager took these). Then another one fell across the street to the house, they took down to light post along with electricity for that block. It was just one block down from us. Not only we got lucky because our complex is not so expose to the trees as the ones you see in these pics, but also we got everything back and they are still in the dark!<br />
<br />
<br />
Getting around has been challenging especially Wednesday. Overall we are not complaining and actually grateful for the things we take for granted.<br />
<br />
I believe and I know things will recover and people will heal. Also my beloved NJ where I lived many, many years...so scary...so sad.<br />
<br />
With the state of things we thought Halloween was cancelled, and since we had our Halloween Movie night Saturday we didn't think much of it, but when we went for a walk our little guy saw other kids dressed up so he wanted to join them. We Trick or Treated for a little while and he got his pumpkin filled in just one block. So thank you to all my neighbors who where in the spirit of celebrating still and making it festive for the kids.<br />
<br />
Hope you all are staying well.<br />

I am so over tired by the time I get home from walking all day the streets of New York, then is home life and cooking, making a tower with Legos, racing cars while multiple episodes of "the Land before time" are in the back ground.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do cherish these moments too much and therefore have none to spare right now. I only wish I can get a camera faster because the beauty of this city is worth keeping a record of. Even the ghetto parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The one magnificent thing is I am in dire need of pants, all this walking has made me loose some hefty pounds (no idea how many since I have no care of weighing myself) but I look utterly ridiculous pinning my pants and pulling them up all the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me give you at least this:</span><br />

I just had no time to write anything these days. The good things is that I have become a sort of expert on taking all kinds of public transportation in this HUGE city. I actually KNOW where I am going, all by my self (ok google helps me a tad before I go out) and have not gotten lost :)<br />
I am so happy.<br />
<br />
The great news is that I am working again, even thought I miss being home with the kiddo, it is very flexible, I am actually a secret shopper and have to go to several stores during the day (the actual Co. pays me- not an agency) and I can make my schedule too. Yay. Yay for paychecks. Yay for getting store discounts. yay for getting paid to shop (no, I don't keep what I purchase).<br />
<br />
The SAD part is not having a camera right now for me to go around. I've been to Harlem, pass the Apollo Theater, sat today at Bryant Park @ 5th Avenue, walked around the fashion district.<br />
<br />
<br />

This is where I was doing my work today, sitting here filling out forms. hard work, huh? Let me shut up now 'cause winter is coming and walking around in the cold is not my forte. ..ahhhh so many beautiful views and no camera to show you.<br />
<br />
But don't despair, my good fellows at Nikon have an awesome new little camera that I think will do for what I want/need now.The Coolpix S01 3x.<br />

It is tini tiny.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love that I can put it in my pocket and not worry about it. Do I still want the 1J? yeap, but is not realistic right now, so I am going to be a good little girl and save up for this one instead. </div>
<div>
<br />
Now if only I can find a classy, comfortable, cross body handbag that does not make me look like I'm still in college, THAT would be golden.<br />
<br />
Over & out.</div>

I am loving the smells, the crisp morning air, walking on Sunday Morning to the market, the salted caramel hot beverages, the window being open all night and smelling the rain in the middle of the night. Our place is coming along but taking waaaaay more time than I thought. Having very limited closet space makes it hard to decide what to keep. Thankfully I just purchased the e-book "The no brainer Wardrobe" and this has made me realize that I need to work on my new wardrobe now and not keep anything that does not make me feel fabulous. I highly recommend you give it a try.<br />

<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #783f04;">Fall Favorites</span></h1>
<br />
1. <b>What is your favorite thing about this time of year?</b> BOOTS!, scarfs, crisp air, and hot cocoa<br />
<br />
2. <b>What do you hope to do again before Summer is officially over?</b> gosh, does cleaning counts? finish this place, I have way too much crap apparently. <br />
<br />
3. <b>When did you last go on a hay ride?</b> two years ago with the little man, last year we couldn't go but I am hoping to go apple picking and get in one this season<br />
<br />
4. <b>What is your favorite pumpkin dish?</b> Nothing. Pumpkin is so not my thing.<br />
<br />
5. <b>Do you decorate your home for fall?</b> some, but I usually jump right into Halloween instead. I LOVE Halloween.<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <b>Do you have any hobbies that are seasonally specific? If so, what are they?</b> uhm...not really. but I like scrapbooking and for some reason I do it more during the colder months. Also more baking is happening here.<br />
<br />
7. <b>Apple cider or hot chocolate?</b> Hot chocolate (my Mom makes the best home-made-from-scratch). Apple Cider is not popular in the homeland so I have never gotten in to it.<br />
<br />
8. <b>Are you a fan of football? If so, who is your team?</b> Nope, but the Hubs is so there is a game always on.<br />
<br />
9. <b>Share a fond Fall memory.</b> Apple picking with the Hubs for the first time, going to the Renaissance fair and haunted houses. And a very special Halloween weekend in the Poconos with family.<br />
<br />
10. <b>It’s not Fall until</b>…my Birthday! I love having a September Birthday.<br />
