note to self: stop procrastinating. 
if only time went a little bit slower... 

so I could catch up.. ya, know? 
seems like there is just not enough time... 
time, where art thou? 

ok, I gotta go now, I'm in crisis mode. 

Hope you're having a crisis-mode free week!

to Up-do or not to Up-do? That* is the question.

So, my close friend Olivia is getting married to my brother-in-law t-o-m-orrow! eeeek! SO EXCITING!!!! I cannot wait!  It is really cool to have a close friend become family and I can't wait to see what wedding dress she has chosen, since she can be sooooo mysterious and quiet about her wedding details... heehee, speaking of dresses... um, WHY did I wait until the LAST MINUTE (aka this week) to find myself a dress to wear to her wedding? I mean, I have known about this wedding since last year.... why didn't I get myself to dress-shopping long ago? Is it the glory in the last-minute hustle? NO! It's just i put things off... mama is a procrastinator. and a baconator, but for now, lets focus on the procrastinator...

anyway, I was getting depressed and near tears as each day this week i would hit up a new bundle of stores only to emerge empty-handed and crushed... there wasn't a dress that made me happy... until yesterday... I walked into a store and snatched up ALL THE "POTENTIALS" (dresses not men) and was totally in the dressing room for like 40 minutes... and found TWO dress options that finally made me happy!... so, hopefully today, I will feel like they are a match still... cause' I can change my mind in a hot second and decide I don't like what I was planning on wearing and start a square one again...

and so now that next issue is HAIR?? How should I wear my hair for this very special wedding??? Up-do? Down? Curly? Braids?? I am leaning toward up-do... a semi-casual "flowly" one... but I might very well just leave it down and curl it too... the easier route sometimes lures me with the "minimal work required" tag line... but Here is what I am thinking...

What do you think?

Option 1, 2, 3, 4, OR 5??

if not, I might very well show up in curlers instead :)

Guilty Food Pleasures.

Don't ever ask me to be your "diet" buddy. I am a bad influence and also, easily influenced when presented with loaded burgers and sweets. Exhibit 1, 2, 3, & 5 as references.

I was supposed to be eating "healthy" this week.... and my brother INSISTS on taking me to a burger joint... and presents me with this...>> Hot Wings, Ranch Dipping Sauce & Home Fries... How in the world am I supposed to say no to this?!

{side note: haha, my brother matches the tray!} Ok, I have to begin by saying I have never had a "pretzel" bun before in my life.... until this burger.... this burger is called: "the hangover" Why? I have no idea? Maybe it has something to do with the theory that a greasy meal helps get rid of a hangover? Ever heard that one? Ok, movin' on... So, WARM, freshly baked pretzel bun, made to order patty, VELVEETA cheese! And chili... with: JALAPENOS... ok, there was no way to explain my happiness when eating this burger, typing this out and seeing the picture makes me want to go to that restaurant and order one right.now. total delish if you have a place in your heart for all the wrong things to eat... like I do :)

Next on the: "there goes eating "healthy" list is: the smiling face below loves ice cream, and who am I kidding, so do I and especially this awesome shop in Little Village, Chicago that caters to my taste-buds and offers the most unique tailored homemade ice cream flavors! If you grew up in the hood with eloteros selling mangos and elotes on a stick, and drinking warm cups of Abuelita chocolate then you understand why I am so in love with this shop! :) The variety of flavored ice cream is: Horchata, Avocado!, Abuelita Chocolate, Mango, ELOTE!, Coconut and they even make their own Pistachio Ice cream, yummy!

this smiling face makes me say yes to Ice cream :)

What is this? A mouse! A Chocolate BROWNIE Mouse! I have to say, the brownie was the best I have had in a long time. Thankfully, my son ate most of it... but he had to pry it outta my hands :)

This is a shake that I made in my effort to combat all of the above. And that was my dietary confessions for this week a la no self-control and beloved guilty food pleasures. The end. :) 

Did you give in to any guilty food pleasures this week?


Thank you for stopping by today, hope your day is rockin!

Pinterest finally got a hold of me.

O.M.G Where have I been? Seriously, I just discovered Pinterest like 2 weeks ago... Ok, so I have had an account for several months... probably over 6 months, but I had no idea what it was, it seemed overwhelming and I didn't "get it." Well, maybe it was just that I didn't want to take the time to "get it." I figured come on, with my etsy shop, facebook, twitter, blog, tumblr, instagram and drawsomething accounts did I realllllllly need to LEARN pinterest too? and so I avoided it and that was that until... I landed on pinterest one way or another and I "pinned" something...

oooh, that was exciting... and I saw some more eye candy that fed my braid obsession and pinned that...

and I pinned that and that and that! 

I think I can credit downloading the pinterest app to my phone with pushing me over the ledge to be a full-blow pinterest lover.

I bet you the girl in the neon dress pictured below is pinning via her phone! :)

And who am I kidding avoiding Pinterest? I am a visual person by nature, and I love to be inspired and Pinterest allows me to organize my visual inspiration unto various boards and keep being inspired. I feel like this is a true love-match. 

P.S I found this drink on pinterest and made it on Sunday, it was so delicious! :)

Anyway, I felt like confessing and telling you that I have a new beloved cyber distraction via the visual inspiration galore I found via pinterest. 

Oh & pinterest "suggested" I "find friends to follow" via my gmail contacts, facebook contacts and heck, when I was logged unto twitter it sifted through those contacts and so i am pretty much following all of you = fyi. :) And I am loving what you pin!

Is this a phase I am going through that will fade? Does pinterest have a hold on you too?

Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a wonderful week. :)
