Gracias...

So i must agree that maybe time is standing still as we move from each stage of our lives to the next. So as my life is crazily moving i want to take a moment and say "Thanks" . My mom said a very nice prayer yesterday before our big Thanksgiving Dinner...thanking God for allowing us to be together one more year with a great feast. So I'm thankful for My fathers hardwork , my mom's hardwork inkeeping a warm, beautiful home to come back to every night. We could always do without the nagging but she's a great woman. Thankful for my family that came over to share a wonderful evening full of laughter, for seeing my little cousins growing up so fast and hopefully turning into smart young men and women. For my boyfriend 's presence...finally a holiday not away from each other. Thankful for the job that keeps me on my toes...as much as it may annoy me and thankful for the real wonderful friends and the moments we continue to share and memories we continue to build.

Gracias...so its not about time standing still....its about me standing still long enough to appreciate the beauty of all the great things in my life...especially the laughter that rings throughout my home and life in general.

Gracias...

Lost city girl...

Not long ago..my days were full of work and nights were full "life". I'm only 24 and lately i'm feelin like i'm 50. This new career has taken me a whole different way...and although i enjoy being part of something big, which with hard work will be something greater i cant help but miss the old days. The days when everything was turned into a hangout , bar hopping, lounging. When someones' farewell or birthday turned into a night of funny crazy events. Holiday parties at work mingling with people from all different backgrounds sharing one main thing..the love of creativity and the love of having a good time. I myself, the creator of weekly "Margaritavilles" turned into a night full of funny encounters, dancing competitions or kareoke. I felt like i had it all even though i didnt...and although the career was lacking in excitement..my coworkers and city life made up for it.

I ve always cosidered myself a city girl..love the uniquenss of the city and the people in it...the fact that you can make an ordinary event a crazy, with stories to retell time and time again, reminiscent of my long gone Madrid "marchas". My weeks were full of life...happy hour, dinners, lunches...then weekends with the boys and sometims the girls...couldnt complain...bc it seemed like for a year college life was extended into my real world life.

These days the most exciting events in my book are nights at home with a glass of wine and loads of laundry to do for the next morning. Surrounded by the same people...and days full of people complaining..the highlight of my day extremely happy customers leaving my place on cloud 9. I guess this is sort of my pity party...but i am entitled to it..i had gotten used to feeding my social spirit..hanging out nite after nite and meeting different people or jus simply hanging w those in the my same shoes.. Lately i feel like my social spirit is slowly dying, I cant help but miss what i used to have. These days its rare if i meet any interesting people my age...let alone have the opportunity to hang out with the old crew. I work hard..i jus want miss my old social life at times...most of all I miss the city :(
