This morning I woke up to find my inbox bombarded with pictures from Korea and the Netherlands. Made me chuckle.

As most of my amigos know Mr.Andrade has been overseas since January. He's working on some project in the Netherlands at this time. Prior to that he had been in South Korea. I asked him numerous times to take pictures. Even if it was a picture of a freaking street sign just take pics! He is not too keen on taking pictures because he hates making it obvious that he's a foreigner (even though he technically is) and drawing attention to himself. These are the AMAZING pictures I've received from him since January. Enjoy.

This is what happens when you don't put your makeup away properly.

I like to think of February as my month. Since I was born in it I proclaim it! True, there are other fortunate folks who were lucky enough to be born in this glorious month, but still, it's my month. I love my birthday! I like to think that my birthday is from February 1st to February 28th or 29th depending if it's leap year. Silly I know but it's totally true. I just think that when it's your birthday you should enjoy it to the fullest. It's your day! I even get totally excited for my dude's birthday. He on the other hand is very meh about it. As soon as my birthday month is done I immediately start planning for his. He's a March baby. This year I was a little worried I wasn't going to enjoy my day. Main reason being is that my dude is away. He's traveling the world. No, he's not in the service (although it feels that way at times) it's for work. His job gets projects going around the world and he gets to go build them. Pretty bad ar...

  Last week I decided to take my daughter to the Discovery Science Center. We hadn't been there since our visit  last year . I had been looking for different museums to take Sam and then seen that DSC was having a Dora exhibit. Sam loves Dora and I knew she'd have a blast. I decided to look no further. Sure enough, I was right. I took my mom with us on our a little trip and we both got a big kick out of seeing Sam run around with a huge smile on her little face. The exhibit was really cute. The museum isn't too big but seems big enough for her. They had a little slide, a car where you put acorns to give it fuel, a little jungle and a vet station. You'd put an animal on an MRI looking table and it would scan the animal and tell you about it. Very cute stuff. There was also an exhibit upstairs about recycling. Sam loved that also. Her favorite one was the one with a conveyor belt. You had 15 seconds to figure out what was hazardous, toxic, recyclable and I th...

People always give me a hard time for not going grocery shopping alone. Today I finally did it. Well, I should admit not by choice. Mr.Andrade is away in Korea and Sam I am ended up falling so asleep so my sister had to stay behind. I did not enjoy my trip to the grocery store one bit. It totally sucked. I felt lonely and it only made me miss Mr.Andrade more. To make matters worse when I get home I find the new neighbors being all cutesy in the laundry room. Can't wait for my beau to get back. I'm looking forward to having some brews and hot wings with him. It's one of our many things.

This is something I've wanted to blog about for sometime now. I kept going back and forth about it because I didn't want to offend anyone and I didn't want it bite me in the arse. I realized today I try to keep my blog very P.G. 13 to make sure it won't get me in trouble. Actually, I've known for awhile. Having said that I hope no one's feelings get hurt or no one gets offended with this. I love my boyfriend with all my heart and soul. I love him beyond words. There is no one I'd rather be with. Even when he annoys the hell out of me and I want to sock him in the face! Anyone who knows me would completely agree. We are boyfriend and girlfriend not husband and wife. Yes, we live together and have a daughter. We are a beautiful family but again, we are not husband and wife. When I introduce him to people I don't say this is my husband, I say this is my boyfriend. I know it sounds totally ridiculous to some but it's true. My boyfriend will say I'...
