♥My Resume♥

1. Therapist.
That's right! I am now charging people to sit on my couch, but only if they want to talk, like if they just sit there & watch t.v. that's free..but if they want to sit there & talk about stuff, then I have to charge..cause I like have the best advice ever & so I think it's worth it...light topics are not so expensive & if you are a friend or relative you get a discount. I except coupons to really nice restaraunts as well as gift certificates.


2. Personal Chef.
Chef Ramsey has got NOTHING on me..I can open a can in 0.2 seconds & I bet My son is the only who can brag to his friends at school, about how good his mom's Ramen noodles are! al dente baby. with lime. hmmf! ;)


3. Proffesional Multi-tasker.
Because I can play pet society in one tab, blog hop in another tab, chat on my yahoo messenger, make a martini, change a diaper, play pattie cake with my daughter, watch real housewives of Atlanta, give therapy (see #1), put lipgloss on, water my only indoor plant that has survived out of like 35 (I won't add green thumbs to my resume) & be on the phone arguing with a customer service representative for Guthy Renker!! all in the span of eh' 7 mintues, 2 if I had more coffee than I promise myself not to drink..


4. Mystery Shopper..
This is the trickiest job of all..I go shopping to by "certain" items, but when I get home I mysteriously have ALL kinds of things that I never knew I needed, nor wanted..then I have to hide all the evidence from my "Man"...so when he sees me in a new shirt & asks me "where did that come from, I've never seen you wear that?".. I can respond "UGH your JUST now noticing this shirt? I've had this for years..I just found it in the back of my closet..well it's cute right?"


5. Ghost hunter.
I've mentioned to you all my interest in ghosts & ghost hunting, well this week I took it to another level..The other night, I thought I heard something outside, so I put My chanclas on (sandals) & went out to see if it was a ghost (obviously this is my first thought, who's wouldn't it be?) so I am outside & do the usual "come out, come out wherever you are." for like 2 mintues silence..so I walk over behind my house very carefully...& finally I heard the "noise" again behind me, so I slowly turn around shaking like a leaf cause I was like so positve that I was going to see a floating head or something exciting like that, but low & behold it was my neighbor's cat, high on catnip or something. BUT the point is, I was ghost hunting.


6. Mexican
Yeah, apperently this is a Trait..why? well because we can play any sport wearing chanclas..(sandals) I just proved it above, I went ghost hunting in my chanclas!

♥Shower Song♥

Hi everyone, how are you? I hope you are doing Fantabulous!
First let me explain the title to this post, I have been singing the song "tommorow" from the movie "Annie" in the shower for the past 2 weeks straight! lol it's funny because I NEVER sing it throughout the day, but I have to sing it when I'm in the shower..random I know.
OK so I am going to give you all the excuses reasons as to why I have not blogged or been around by your blog lately & I apologize in advance & I am sure you will forgive me because these are extremely important reasons!First of all:

I was bored & I crawled under a rock....it was nice being under a rock, very peaceful & I highly recommend it..that saying "I'm going to go crawl under a rock" is actually good advice!




After I crawled back out of my rock I was abducted by aliens..and taken to their planet, I must say I liked this planet it was full of wonderful people who I could relate to A LOT because they all only wore 1 face, unlike earthlings who like to wear 2 faces.. I did not want to come back, but they insisted they must bring me back down to earth to continue to surround myself with idiots! LOL o'well. I'm back!


OK so here I am back on Earth & I have been trying to get everyone on a normal schedule now that my son is back in school & started 2nd grade =) ...So I have been cleaning, organizing, shopping & preparing him for 2nd grade! reminding him to be nice, helpful, alert & "dont pick your nose!"
I even made him back-to-school cookies, LMAO did you know they sell those? I swear everything is turning into a commercial holiday..well since back-to-school will be a new holiday I suggest there be NO school on the first day of school..just a suggestion.



LAST but not least in the very least..the reason I have not been around & mind you this is the most important reason...Pet Society on Facebook! I am addicted..how pathetic I know LOL..I am officially part of the "dark side" on Facebook I am one of those amongst millions addicited to one of those hundreds of games & apps...so although I have not been on the internet much at all, when I am..this is where I've been! OK so do you forgive me?? I will be blog hopping all week to catch up with you all wonderful bloggers..

(my pet) lol isn't she cute?




p.s. A special thanks to Nora Johnson of The Johnson Diaries, for the feature on this post! Thank Honey =) everyone visit her please, she is very witty & I love her blog!

p.s.s. I will be doing my first giveaway soon, so stay tuned!

I am leaving you with this song, so you can sing it in the shower too! lol

♥God's Coffee is good.♥

Hello wonderful bloggy friends..I am back from My vacation..I know you were all worried about me & waiting by the computer for my next post, the way you would wait by the phone for a friend to call.. LOL ;-) I did a lot of reflecting & grounding myself; putting everything into perspective...I needed to remind myself of what is ever-most important in my life & know that the fruit of our labors & the sacrifices we make will be worth it in the end. One of the my favorite mottos to live by is "You reap what You sew." I want to share a wonderful story with you all, that I know you will enjoy. I've missed you all, so I will be blog-hopping for a couple days catching up with you!



God's Coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some
expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live.

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."

God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."


Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

♤ ♣Twilight Madness I tell you!♤ ♣

I know right? what do you think of My header? I totally made it Myself, did I mention I love to do photo enhancements as well? & well if you didn't know before now you know..I'm one of those Twilight people..It's not just Me it turns out you don't have to be a Tween to fall in love with the storyline, much less Edward . I want to say a quick THANK YOU to all of you who stopped by My Christmas in July party! I enjoyed all of your parties as well! Moving on I am thinking I want to throw a Twilight Halloween party this year & as I was searching & googling I came across some wonderful ideas, decorations & more. If you look to the right..wait I mean left you'll see I found Twilight-inspired recipes, but since I update those I'll add the link here!

Twilight Cakes:









Table Settings:







Random Twilight stuff you can purchase:
Anyone else want a life-size cutout of Edward..no? its just Me..
for $32.99 Edward can watch you sleep! LOL

$2.45 to show you want Carlisle to be your new Daddy!

I wonder if these candies taste like..blood?

This is one of the nicest interpretation of Bella's bracelet, actually sold on ebay for $65

I Heart this ring, it's actually just a replica of a ring that Kristen Stewart wore in one of Her Vanity fair shoots..it's a Fox, hello of course I love it! :)


Well that's it for now, I hope you enjoyed this Twilight-obsessed post, I will leave you with the official New Moon trailer (although if your a big fan like Myself, you've already seen it!




p.s. My dryer broke yesterday, so I've had to hang My clothes outside (which by the way dries in like 2 minutes cause it's SCORCHING here) So I asked My "Man" to please hurry up & fix it or buy Me & new one & He says , "I thought you liked being old fashion?"...yeah He got "the look"

p.s.s. (I found these images through google & photobucket, if any of these images are yours & want credit or want them removed email Me @ 3pajaritos@live.com & I will gladly do so)

Christmas in July Blog PARTAAAAAAAY

First of all I want to thank Maggi for inviting Me to join this Christmas in July party, make sure to visit her @ Just add glitter & stir

I HEART Christmas..that's My new thing; instead of saying "I love" I say "I heart" LOL...OK So what are MOI fave things about Christmas?..Celebrating the birth Of Jesus Christ is the most important thing.
December is a month of celebration, chaos, debating whether this or that is the "perfect gift?" waiting in lines for hours,wrapping,taping,writing,cards,stamps,baking,cooking,relatives, etc. the excitement kills me! I love it! BUT My favorite part of Christmas is the giving part I heart giving to others, in fact I get more satisfaction watching others open my gifts for them then I do opening my own! don't get me wrong peeps, I heart presents too, so send them along & I will heart them all year long! LOL Merry Christmas in July!
Here are a couple of pictures from X-mas 07' I was 7 months pregnant with Maximus aka "Froof" (the first one was X-mas Eve, the second was Chrismtas day (night)



A picture of our tree this past Christmas, with the stockings hung above the fireplace..:)


(Click on the pics for the recipes)

My Favorite Christmas dessert Pecan Pie!


My Favorite drink extreme eggnog!


My Favorite side-dish cornbread stuffing!

"People change, Friends leave...

And Life doesn't stop for anyone". This is one of my favorite quotes, because it is so true & it has happen to me so many times. Although we may feel sad & it want it to stop, life cannot stop, We must keep going, keep our heads up, our faith strong & live. I've realized more than once that life is so short & so many countless times we forget how precious it is & we take things, people & time for granted. I've also realized that although I have countless irresistible qualities (i.e., kind, loving, funny,selfless,talented..) There are so many things I want to work on, so I am making a list of the things I want to focus on improving.

1. Patience..Now this is something I should be a master at, since I am tested with it on a daily basis!
2. Self pity..LOL I know that SO not sounds like me, but yeah I can get into these horrible "phases" where I feel sorry for myself for not having a Dad, wishing I had a "normal" Mom, for losing certain loved ones,wanting breakfast from Mcdonald's at noon & they stop at 10 a.m. etc... It's nice having friends who remind me to "snap out of it!" & So I will continue to work on this.
3. Taking my own advice..I swear I can give the best advice ever, yet not take it myself.
4. Strength. This should actually be #1, but I'll just say I'm not putting them in a any particular order.
5. Find more time for myself. Being a stay at home mom is a 24-7 job, so I find that I invest SO much into My family (which I should) but I also realize I need to start taking better care of myself, afterall "If Mama Ain't happy Ain't NOBODY happy." (that's not really true, I'm the opposite of that quote, if nobody's happy, I'm not happy,maybe that's the problem?)

Ok So I am sure I will think of new things to work on, but these are the things I want to focus on. What is the biggest thing you feel you have to focus on?
I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

oh before I forget I really want to start riding my bike again too!





And I cannot wait to pick up Coraline this weekend... It is a freakishly awesome movie!
