And they know just how to cheer you up after a rough week.
Love that lady.
Thanks, Mom.

THE BLANKS ARE BACK
1. I am so cold. All the time. Winter in Pennsylvania is not for the cold-blooded .
2. The bravest thing I've ever done was Hmmmm, I don't think I'm all that brave...after I go skydiving I might say that if that counts .
3. I feel prettiest when I'm fresh out of the shower and squeaky clean after a good workout .
4. Something that keeps me awake at night is thinking about the next day's schedule...so frustrating when I can't get my mind to stop .
5. My favorite meal in the entire world is Chips and Queso, Guacamole, Tacos, and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cake for dessert .
6. The way to my heart is through (this is cheesy, but) sincerity; this girl doesn't handle fake very well. Chocolate Ice Cream also works .
7. I would like to win the lottery? Oh, and tell Lady Gaga she's ridiculous. Who wastes three days of their life in an egg?
Ah, it feels good to be back on the Friday train.
Happy Friday friends!

WOAH BABY
This little thing called LIFE has been keeping me quite busy; and just like that, before I know it - BOOM - it's almost March and warm outside! Yikes. Slow down life. You've been good to me, but you're moving a bit too fast.
Freinds, get ready for a Whirlwind of the past month and a half...
I survived THE CRUISE and it was amazing; I absolutely loved it...Music, Sun, Friends, Food and Icy Cold Beverages; what's not to love??
After the cruise, January pretty much went by in a blur...Between work life, social life, family life, and dating life (that's right, I said dating life...!!!!...but don't get too excited, those details are strictly confidential) the days just flew by and clearly the good old blog here took a back seat.
After what felt like a bagillion days in a row of below freezing temperatures and snow that wouldn't stop falling and still refuses to melt, February finally came. And so far has been a great month. The cold is definitely getting old, but I'm keeping my spirits up with thoughts of warmth and some much-needed sweat sessions at the gym (very necessary when you're stuck indoors for months at a time!)
I was able to make a short trip to New Orleans in the beginning of the month. Although it was for work, we were excited to get out and explore the streets at night. I can't believe I've never been there before, the city has such a neat vibe. I was hoping for warm weather, but we didn't let the 30 degree temps phase us; we had a great time. And I got to do the one thing I was looking forward to the whole trip, walk in the streets with an open beer...where else can you order a beer to go?!
And most recently, I got to spend a whole evening with the cutest niece ever. It's been a while since we had one-on-one time and as usual we had so much fun - We colored valentines, made mini pizzas together, Mac served me 'coffee' from her new Little Tykes Kitchen, SHE read ME all her books , she showed me how ahe knows all of her letters and numbers, played in the bubble bath and most importantly giggled ALOT at each other. The girl is just so funny, she makes me crack up! And everytime I laugh she starts laughing and tells me I'm silly: "Kia, you silly!"

Don't mind the beads; I got them legitimately with jacket on and all :)
Second best part of the trip? The layover in Dallas when I had enough time for lunch at Pappasitos to satisfy my constant Mexican food craving.
Cheeeeeeese. (Froggy needed a tissue...)
There you have it...the time you've missed (as a blog reader) in a nutshell...the girl is back! Love you all. Thanks to everyone who's getting my butt into gear and back on the blog train (not to name any names ::cough cough:: Heather, ::cough cough:: The Mom, ::cough cough:: Shannon and Steph).

HAPPY [LATE] NEW YEAR
Friends, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Although all the Valentine's displays already out in all the stores tell me I'm a little late on my new years wishes...
I celebrated at Pietros, a cute restaurant up the street, over cocktails and a nice dinner with these ladies and their boys; it was low-key, cozy and wonderful. Just my style! There was a day when I loved the hype of a packed room full of crazy people ringing in the new year, but my old age has gotten the best of me and now I love nothing more than being surrounded by a small group of friends. It's the best.
No big resolutions this year; I respect people that make them and stick to them, but I'm startin to think they're a bit overrated. For me atleast. I usually forget what my resolutions were by June anyways. This year I just plan to keep on keeping on. And I'm ok with that.
And here's to BLOG YEAR NUMBER THREE...can you believe it?!?
