Irish Village

As I have mentioned earlier, you will be seeing some of my Dubai Escapades with Beamer last year. This was taken the day he arrived in Dubai. We just had dinner in our apartment and headed to the Irish Village for some Bullfrogs.

1 shot Bacardi Anejo Rum

1 shot Vodka

1 shot Tequila

1 shot Blue Curacao

1 shot Gin

1 can Red Bull

Directions
Add all the shots of Alcohol to a pint glass, turning the mixture Blue then add the Red Bull to create the BULL FROG.

Today is gonna be one of those busy days. I woke up, prepared the hubsters clothes and lunchbox. Served breakfast. Then started blogging and FB. I dont open FB as much as I used to because I am sort of addicted to Words with Friends.

Today, I have to do some chores and finish another box I have to send to PI for my business venture and then  mail some postcards for some peeps. After which we will go visit Grandpa Dan's Farm where the wedding will take place. Then do some grocery for Ky's foodie!

Dress by TANGO

When Beamer arrived in Dubai, I brought him at the Skyview Bar-Burj Al Arab for a post-birthday celebration. His birthday is December 26th but we only celebrated over skype. So I made sure he got my birthday gift.

I have been to Burj for like 4 times already and being there for the 2nd time is not as overwhelming as the 1st. The first always will be surreal and amazing. However, its a different feeling being there with the man you love.

We have promised each other during that "date" that after 10 years we will be back in Dubai. I personally believe now that the world is my playground...

And I am tagging Beamer with me.

Lips Like Strawberry Wine

I remembered Sissy's daughters (upon seeing the Devil's horn) saying, "You're a PONY!" That was hilarious!

To say that yesterday was a busy day is an understatement! I was beyond exhaustion. 

I woke up 7am and started packing for the beach. Took a shower. Gave Ky & Beamer breakfast. Loaded things in the car. Went shopping. Then scouted new vintage stores. I found a kitchen deco which I will decorate on the Farm wedding in lieu of the traditional card box collector. I also found a mosaic plate which I love love love.

Beamer picked us up at one shop with his friend and we all went to another vintage store for comics. We then met Ron, the new realtor specializing in Rhode Island Areas. I think I like him because he gives good info of a place skipping some BS. We went to 2 houses. The first one is undeniably shabby and so not my style. REALLY! The second one is so homey. The minute we entered I felt that I can have kids in there. However, since we got a chance to cross path with some workers, we realized there are molds. And then the sky castles I've painted slowly deteriorated.

After which, we dropped Jay (Scott's new friend!) to his house and we drove from Barrington to Newport. We had snacks at Subway (my new favorite!) and then headed to the 2nd Beach. Ky was overjoyed.

Then we dropped by at The Ross' for a playdate of Ky with Sal. Beamer was taking care of the kids while I got addicted playing "Words with Friends."

By the time we got home it was 9:30pm. It was almost 13hours of work! I was dead tired!

Looking back, it was a good day! As a matter of fact, it was a fruitful, productive Lovely Day!

Life is Short, You Should get One

I woke up today feeling a little bit motivated. You see, I am a VIRGO hence the constant worries and perpetual depression. I am not mocking people who would rather end their lives than continue breathing, what I'm saying is: I embrace depression because it sort of awaken the creativity inside of me.

One of my favorite writers, Jessica Zafra once said: "Why would I end my life and make my enemies happy when I can make their lives miserable just by existing."

I love JZ. I am a big fan! A huge, enormous and gigantic fan! She is the top echelon of sarcasm and I am climbing still.

Where was I?

As you all know, I am extremely busy (or at least I should be, if I'm not bumming around complaining to the hubster) because of the upcoming Farm Wedding. It seems very odd that I feel so lazy when there are gazillion things to do. Good thing, Sissy was there to encourage me. She will be helping me with the planning for the Rehearsal Dinner on September 15th.

  

Scaling Fishes

I woke up today feeling refreshed. Yesterday, I had a "discussion" with Beamer regarding the dishes. I hate doing dishes! The same way I hate scaling the fish. An incident where I got a black-eye courtesy of my father, just because I refused to do so.

Anyway, we came to an agreement. I cook food, he do the dishes! I think its more sensible.

After smoking a ciggie in the porch (which I never did!) I decided that I'm such a bad wifey and I have to clean up my act. We then went to "The Raffa's" to celebrate the Glorious 4th!

There's a lot of food. I liked the stuffed (tuna) tomatoes, stuffed quahog (YUM!) and grilled hotdogs & burgers. Though I love Devil's eggs the one they did has a pureed yolk which I didnt like texture wise on my palate. Its delicious though. I also love Beamer's pickles which we gave the Raffa's during our wedding as a favor and they could not seem to open.

Kylee surprisingly was well behaved and I am so proud of her. She was so dirty after hours of playing with the other kids.

I had a chat with Beamer on our way home after watching the FIREWORKS at Newport. By the way, spectacular but not nearly as amazing as the fireworks in Dubai. We both agreed that next year, if we are still invited at the Raffa's, I will be cooking some foodie and we have to bring some drinks too. I think we also need to be celebrating ID4 by wearing a more patriotic wardrobe.

NB: As I was not in the mood, I dressed with jeans and a fuchsia pink top with my gold thong slippers. My apologies for not taking photos as I was a bit moody! Like, always!

The Glorious 4th

It is a common knowledge that the glamorous USA celebrate this day as the Declaration of Independence. Though the legal separation of the thirteen colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, I am not nearly as perturbed.

I am happy for the Americans. I am happy that the fruit of labor of their forefathers is now being gloriously savored by the masses, including me. And even if some mockery from other countries are publicly displayed stating that this country will soon step down as the "Strongest Country in the World" I still positively believe that on my lifetime it will stay that way.

Happy Independence Day America! 

To Drive or Not To Drive

As soon as the weather changed, my life sort of changed in a funny way. Suddenly I dont want to bum around wasting my time watching Real Housewives (OC, NY & Beverly Hills) and some catch up of CSI (NY,LV &  Miami) or even watching movies from either Red Box or Xfinity. 

Lately, I have been going to parties, wedding, christening and seem to enjoy the beach at one point. I love strolling at the beach after 4pm too. I am also productive at home and claim to be a domesticated Goddess (Move over Nigella Lawson!) and doing a god job with my culinary novicity. Believe me, there is a word. Check the Urban Dictionary! 

Since Sissy inspired me with her interior designing skills I sort of decided to redecorate my crib too. Beamer is just excited to move out and look for our perfect "LOFT." I am just starting with this one and he wants me to go crazy again? lol

I love Boston and I think I am more in-love with Boston than New York. Traffic in NY is just unbearable. Manhattan is a must see but I am adamant to call it a must live-on. Its just so fast paced and probably for the singletons. I might, just might consider living there if I'm working at "The Plaza" and I don't drive so I guess I can deal with that too.

Why don't I drive? My explanation has always been consistent: Some people dream (or visualize) when they were younger, driving a fancy car. I didn't. I dreamt that I was driven by a chauffeur.
