Happy New Year... The Cliche Post of Resolutions... Kinda...Ish...

Happy New Years Y'all!!!

I hope your festivities for welcoming the new year were pleasant and that the "National Hangover Day" wasn't too bad-

My New Years was just PERFECT - You may click on "My Life on Instagram" (to your right and see my time at Disneyland) This year the fiance and I decided to keep it mellow (in terms of drinking) because the Champs can be my best friend and my worst enemy- And this New Year's Day I would rather spend the day hugging Donald Duck than hugging the toilet...

I Can't Survive without a To Do List
Along with the New Year's celebrations, there is always the inevitable conversation about New Year's Resolutions - And for the most part everyone that I spoke to - had an idea of something they wanted to change or improve in their lives - everything from - the ever so popular, losing weight to just making their awesomeness even more awesome... "Vinh-ism" +Victor Ngo 

Well, the last two weeks have gone by so fast and my calendar has been full with birthdays, engagements, dinner dates, a hike, shopping, shows, and travel (I work with kids - so I have the same vacation schedule as them - toot-toot!)  And the majority my time off work I would, conscientiously, let myself take a second to take a deep breath and take in the scenery and remind myself to live in the present... live in the present...live in the present...

Why... How freakin cliche... You see, on Christmas eve I had an anxiety attack, and I thought it was brought on by because I was upset with my pops but it wasn't... I kept on thinking (A dangerous past-time...I Know: from Beauty and the Beat LOL)

What I concluded was that I am in need of a major TO-DO List!!! 2013 was an amazing year! I got a new job, I traveled (Best destination: Paris, France) and I got engaged! Holy Cow! I was on cloud nine for like a millisecond - I honestly am incapable of being happy for more than two minutes-

And I have been duct-taping the crap outta the Tiny Person's mouth that resides in my head - Fred has been talking her head off!!! And I have been silencing her as well... I have been trying to live in the moment but I keep on getting in the way of that... All these wonderful blessings from 2013 have been gnawing at me, Fred and the Tiny Person in my head...

Why... because I need to pay for a major one - Planning a wedding will be fun to me - the stressful part is how am I going to pay for it all??? I also need to stop keeping this stress all to myself - instead I am going to do the charitable thing and share it with y'all...So...I figured out that I NEED resolutions this year...

In the past I have made New Years Resolutions and have been pretty good about following them through - but in most recent years I haven't made any resolutions - mainly - because- I thought that if I didn't set an expectation for myself that I couldn't disappoint myself - basically set the bar low...wonk-wonk... So this 2014.... I have a list... 

A New Years Resolutions List: A To-Do List,  if you will -

  1. Walking/Hiking: I really enjoyed my walk/hike with +Jenny Uribe and I would like to continue those walks with y'all as well and my son Patch :  (I walked 10,000+ steps while at Disneyland and found out that it's actually the daily recommended amount of walking - I hate the idea of being considered a sedentary fat woman/human being period) Booking these walks with people if at least once a week which leads me to #2...
  2.  Re-Connect with people - I have joined this Social-Media world and have re-connected, in a digital sense BUT still hardly any real life connections - AND partly because I am afraid to hang out (I know I get nervous even with people that I know)  - so #2 will be in baby steps - And I wanna start off with hikes/walks with those friends of mine and you know who you are - that I barely get to see cause of busy schedules, jobs, life, blah, blah, and so on... Onto #...
  3. Career: I am happy with my choices just not the people that I am working with - So I have to continue repeating the "Serenity Prayer" or leave before my fists accidentally land on their faces... So I will be researching other similar positions at least once a month -
  4. Tun-tun-tuuuuunnnnn..... WEDDING PLANNING: The fiance thought it was funny to remind me on New Year's day that the wedding date we've been set on and telling people about is only 14 MONTHS AWAY!!! He is thoughtful that way... And then comes major stress ball #4...
  5. How to pay for this WEDDING - The fiance and I have decided to do a "Savings Challenge" that my friend told me about a while ago and I finally started it back in December - I have refined her excel spreadsheet to meet our goals -
  6. It's a cluster-f**k  of 1-5 - because through out all of this I want to create/find a Nest for just me and my Babo...ayayayay...
By the end of this year:  I hope it's more of my...

Fatshion 101: Return of National Polka Dot Day

Happy New Year's Y'all! I am happy to be back! I am happy that it's the beginning of the year when the days feel refreshed and reinvigorated. I am not so much of the "new year, new me" attitude BUT a new year does represent a much more glacier pace of life for me. I kinda fell off the face of the Earth or at least my blog since September 2018... October, our birthday month was superbusy, November at work is an insane time and December is for the holidays sooooooo by the end of the year - I am just waiting with bated breath for new years! Aaaaaaaand January is also home to one of my favoritest days of the year! National Polka Dot Day! In honor of the the Polka Dot Queen herself, Minnie Mouse! If it has dots! I want it! I got it! ;-) And dude!!! I celebrated in what I can only describe as pants sent from heaven! They are from Zara and I bought them ON SALE, maybe six months ago and they come in XXL! I fell in love with them the minute I put them on SO ...

EDC 2016: Modesty, nudity and feminism

Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Give it to me to go to Vegas and come back more of an empowered feminist than ever! Damn right! First of all... (clap, clap) Let's get something straight! (clap-clap)) My anxiety/insecurity prior to this Vegas Wedding slash EDC thing had NOTHING to do with my body!!! (CLAP) I struggle with finding nudity an empowering source! And not because I'm fat but because I've always been a believer in less is more - in where, the less skin I show, the more enticing and the more empowered I feel. Yeah! Ladies and gents! It's possible! And an argument can be made of the same saying; Less is more - The less clothing you wear the more enticing and empowered you can feel! And I say "I struggle" with 'empowering nudity' because we are bombarded with nudity everywhere we look - We are meant to be made to believe that we should all be comfortable with nudity - well I hate to break it to y'all but - nah! I've written ...

Fatshion 101: Learning to Live with Intent and Balance

Note: I started writing this blog in March while on our way Home to the Happiest Place on Earth ---days before resigning from my job of six years... I’ve always enjoyed my time sitting at a desk looking out a window… Which is probably why as I sit thousands of feet above the sky I am inspired to pull out my laptop (That I’ve packed to finish work emails – on my day off)  but  as I type those words- I’ve chosen to f*ck that sh*t – I am going to use my laptop to blog! I am a little  conflicted on where to start –  I’ve had these thoughts, these words, this blog on my mind for a long time… (Clears throat: it has been well over a year since my last blogpost) I haven’t written for fun in ages and I know myself well enough to know that I shouldn’t have taken such a long break from journaling/blogging (Friendly FYI – I maintain a handwritten journal in addition to my blog) But even before the summer 2019 I stopped all forms of journaling completely – I insta-s...
