Mother's Day Win

-

I really don't know how to say this without it sounding offensive so, here goes. I've never really been a fan of Mother's Day and Father's Day. Not because I don't love my parents. My parents are my world. I guess because I felt I didn't need a holiday to show my appreciation for them. I call my mother on a daily basis and tell her I love her everyday. I probably should call my dad more often also. I do tell him I love him often though. I'm sure there are MANY more things I can do to show my appreciation but I try to let them know as much as I can.

Having said that, I now have had a change of heart. Yesterday by far was one of the best days ever! Mr.Andrade totally made me feel like it was my day and whatever I wanted to do was a go. He surprised me with a trip to Shoeteria where he bought me my white Docs. I have been wanting white Docs forever and a day! I couldn't believe he remembered that. We walked over to the Docs section and there they were. Turns out I got the last pair! Well, the last pair in my size. I had to get the ones on display but didn't mind. We got 10% off so it was a total win.

Our next stop was to Pasadena. He wanted us to get off and walk around the stores so I could shop. At that point Sam was tired and we had forgotten to pack a stroller. We opted to leave. I'm kind of glad we. I might not have had self control and I'm almost certain Mr.Andrade would have said yes to everything.

The last two final stops were Best Buy and DSW. We went to Best Buy first and I was wondering what we were doing there. Turns out he wanted to get me a new computer! My computer (as much as I love it) is old and extremely slow. We are really in dier need of a new one. I felt really bad though. I'm kind of a guilty shopper. I love to shop but once I buy whatever I want, I then feel guilty. I feel I should return it or I don't need it. I told Mr.Andrade thank you but maybe we should hold off. I could see him get a little disappointed and hurt but those weren't my intentions at all. I just thought that would have been way too much. I asked him  for the John Legend cd and another pair of shoes. He seemed somewhat better and off we went to DSW where I walked off with 3 pairs of shoes.

At the end of the day as we were laying in bed, Mr.Andrade still wasn't satisfied. He told me he felt my mother's day was rather blah. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I assured him the day couldn't have been better and this by far was way better than my birthday. He had done an excellent job of making me feel appreciated and special. Which is what mothers day is really all about.

P.S
I forgot to mention dozen roses he sent me. They were white, pink, and yellow. Just lovely! Sam however, stole my balloon.

El Tepeyac Cafe-Boyle Heights Some people freak out when I tell them I love going to restaurants alone. They think it's weird and can't imagine doing it. I find it to be the most relaxing experience ever. I can sit down, enjoy my meal and play with my phone if I choose to. If you've never done this I totally suggest you try it. One thing I've never done alone is go catch a movie. That is definitely on my to do list.

It'Ah Really Is Ah His Birthday!!

This year Mr.Andrade turned the big 3-0. Being the hard worker that he is, he worked on his freaking birthday! I tried to plan something big and extravagant since he was turning 30 but, no dice. Mr. Andrade is a mellow dude when it comes to birthdays so, I had to cave and go with his wishes. Not totally might I add hehehe. The night started with a nice little romantic dinner for two at Frida's in Beverly Hills. The place is very small and very cozy. We enjoyed our meals and service. He had Carnitas and I had Enchiladas Tapatio. To drink I had a Chamoy Margararita and he had a Jack and Coke. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very low key. Guaranteed we will hit up that spot again. After dinner we went off to meet up with family and friends at a cool little spot called Down & Out. I instantly loved it! Their decor consisted of celebrity mug shots and pin up pictures. Mr. Andrade seemed to like it also, which is what mattered since we were there for him. It w...

Coraline

Sam getting her hair done by the amazing Amanda. Sami and her faces. This is actually after her second cut. She originally didn't want to cut it so we trimmed it. When Amanda was done Sami started complaining saying it she wanted it like Coraline. Amanda having to cut it, AGAIN. This is when Sami finally was asking for the Coraline cut. Coraline #2 Coraline, we owe you! Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of long hair. I don't like it all. Not saying girls with long hair don't look nice, some girls have gorgeous long locks but they're not for me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid my pop's refused to let me cut my hair. I use to cry and cry and my dad wouldn't budge. I remember for my second grade pictures I tucked my hair inside my dress and kind of pulled it out a little bit to give the impression I had short hair. I loved those pictures. One day, I think my mom either felt sorry for me or...
