How Insensitive
Do you ever catch your self mentally censoring what comes out of your mouth? Lately i have found myself doing this more and more. Today a thought came to my mind ... what if i stop and say whatever the hell i want to whomever i please. What a free way to live life. Some people really deserve some things to be said to them, but most of the time i try to put my trust in the universe and hope that they will either learn it on their on or it will come back to them somehow. Every day i encounter so many rude, entitled people. And aren't the people that have this entitlement the worse type of people? Well I'm getting stronger every day, and I'm forewarning that I'm sorry if one of these days i just stop censoring myself because the older i get the less i care about what people think.

The Good Life
What is it that makes the majority of all girls i know obsessed with the entire Real Housewives Franchise on Bravo. How many are there now? New York, New Jersey, OC, Atlanta, and coming soon Miami, Washington and Hollywood, I've heard all rumored. WOW. Pretty soon bravo is going to have to give them their own channel. The Real Housewives Channel. I would love it, not only would i love it but i would be hooked 24 hrs a day. What is it about these woman that has us so enthralled? Is it their lifestyles? their beautiful houses and beautiful cars? Their husbands that pretty much put up with all their ridiculous behavior and outlandish antics. Is it the summers in the Hamptons, the private yachts on St. Martin. I could go on. The white range rovers? $4,000 + designer purses and shoes? The luxury to wake up one morning and say hey today ill start a clothing company, and I'm going to name is V by Vanessa (joke), basically I'm going to copy all my favorite designers and call the designs my own. (if you watch I'm pretty sure you can figure out who from Atlanta is doing this) It seems like these woman live the life and of course anyone would love to watch and envision that life for themselves one day. But as my momma always taught me the grass might look greener on the other side but it probably isn't. And who knows whats going on behind those closed doors. Poor Tamara and her psycho husband. Nonetheless these woman are extraordinary to watch i love every second of it and i can not wait for more.
On a side note when you watch the show you see the same old game that woman have been playing with each other for years. The cliques, the we like you we don't like you, the sides. It's sad that woman have to gang up on each other this way. If we supported each other more and were nicer to each other i cant even imagine the things we would accomplish. I've experienced this is my life and i saw it my mom's and i hear about it from other friends, ay woman when will you learn that we are not the enemy.

April Played a Fiddle
A whole month and a day since my last entry, some would think that I have abandoned the blog world. The truth is simply that April was a hectic busy month. The month started off with a chaotic yet entertaining trip to Bimini. After that it was New York City and then finished up with a trip to Tallahassee for a graduation. I know...it’s a hard knock life, but hey someone’s got to do it. I seriously feel like I have not had one second to breathe at home.
At the same time I have been tormented over this whole ordeal that I am going through with my lease. OMG, this is the third time that I will be turning in a lease, and the fourth time I will be entering into a new one, and never in my life has it been this hard. The news speaks about this country being in a recession and car companies going out of business, one would think they would be so desperate to make a deal. I have one thing to say about that, it’s a LIE. BULLSHIT (sorry), but it's the truth. These car dealerships do not care to make a deal or be cooperative. They only care about taking you for all you are worth. Thank God I started looking early; I don’t need to turn my car in until June 7. Not that this really matters because I have no miles left in my lease, so essentially I can't even drive my car. The monthly payments that these dealers are asking for, wow, you would think I was trying to lease a Bentley or a Range Rover. It’s so discouraging I almost want to give up and just walk to work every day. Only possible if I lived in NYC, but I live in Miami and a car here is absolutely necessary. I will stay strong, at least I have time on my side, and I will not pay a ludicrous monthly payment. As a warning to all car salesmen out there call me sweetie or hunny one more time and I might file a sexual harassment suit. Basically, this whole car thing is the only thing I have been thinking about the past two weeks but I do see a small light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully it will be over soon…for the next 3.

I Am Loved
I have known this for a very long time, but more than ever this weekend I have learned once again that the most important things in life are Family and Old Friends. Where would I be with out my family? That’s a scary question and I think the answer is living a very sad and lonely life. Like I'm sure any other family we are not perfect, we fight. But we make up very fast as though nothing ever happened. I love holidays and this Easter was just as special as any other because I had my family to spend it with. I just want to put it out there in the universe how truly thankful I am for them I know I don’t show it every single day so it’s important that every once in a while I do show it and say it.
Old Friends. I don’t mean new friends that you just made that are fun...you know for a good time. I mean those friends that have been with you through years and years through your worst and your best. I am fortunate enough to have a few very special friends like that in my life and I want to say thank you to them for everything. For cheering me up and making me happy when I needed it the most. For calling me out, when I've needed to be called out on. And for telling me how it is, because who else is going to tell me? I love and I appreciate you very much.
I am in a very content mood today, not too happy and not somber, just content. Happy to have what I have and to be where I am and excited/scared to see what the future brings. I know, though, that no matter what that future is, scary or good, I have my family and my old friends, and not everyone can say that. So I am very lucky and very blessed.

food is my happiness
The weekend of food. I was lucky enough to try three new restaurants this past weekend, one was not so good, and two were absolutely delicious.
The last Thursday of every month an Indian restaurant, The Indian Palate, in Coral Gables, Florida has a bollywood night. Very very fun, but the food, the food not so good. I love Indian food, I think it’s a culture that really knows how to use flavor and spice. I had never tried a traditional Indian buffet and I must I will most likely not be trying one again. The night though and the experience as a whole was very different from the usual, and very fun. The bollywood theme makes for a great ambiance, there’s a DJ playing hits such as songs from slumdog millionaire, a big movie theatre size projection screen playing bollywood movies, a belly dancer, and a henna artist. The belly dancer was exquisite it was all very entertaining, everything was beautiful. I would like to give this restaurant maybe one more chance, but I will be ordering ala carte no buffet. If you are looking for a very good place to try Indian food for the first time, or for the 100th timego to Guru on Miami Beach.
It does get better, much much better, and that better is Sugarcane. One of the newest hotspots to open in the wynwood Miami area, same neighborhood as Joey's another one of my absolute favorites. But wow sugarcane, the food was amazing. I loved everything I tried, and I tried alot. The menu is mostly made of tapa size plates perfect for sharing and allowing the eater to taste more of what the restaurant has to offer. From palmia tequila cocktails, to the torrejas (french toast desert) I was blown away. Walking into sugarcane and reading the menu was as exciting to me as being 8 years waiting for Santa to come on Christmas morning. You must try it, and you must must get the goat cheese croquettes, and the bacon wrapped dates, my two favorite things that I ate.
I finished the weekend with an exquisite brunch at yet another new wynwood restaurant. Morgan’s, decorated to look at an adorable purple house you would think to see in key west. It is the perfect place for a Sunday brunch. All types of sangrias, red wine, white wine, and rose. Mimosas and bellinis by the pitcher do you really need another reason to try this place. Don’t be discouraged by the wait, I was a party of three and they told us it would be an hour but it was more around 20 minutes. This is not your average greenstreet brunch. This is crab so big it looks like jumbo lobster benedict, cheese plates with the best fig marmalade, real maple syrup sides of bacon, and light as air french toast drenched with cinnamon sugar butter. Next Sunday go to Morgan’s you can thank me later.

Forget to Remember
I came up with the best blogging idea while i was falling asleep. Now i cant remember it for the life of me. Mental Note: Keep a notebook and pen on my night table so I don’t forget!!! I’m really sad about this :(
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Is St. Patty's even a real holiday? or is it just another excuse for people to go out drinking and get wasted. I’ve never been a huge fan of st. patty's, its not like you know...Halloween! Either way ill probably have a beer at one point tonight.
