WOW!!!! Well since my last inspiration i wrote about the chaotic weeks that i had coming and all i have to say now is that I was able to conquer everything!!!! Well there was only one thing I was not able to do which we (bf & I ) decided we had to place our house search on hold till i went on winter break other then that i was able to finish all my papers and exams; doesn't mean i finished ALL my papers and exams just the ones due up to now still missing a final exam, 3 discussions, 1 quiz, and a paper. I was also able to go to my cousins wonderful wedding and have family quality time with them at the Keys. It was great! Following weekend my brothers wonderful wedding which may i add was beautiful!!! Unfortunately my dear bf forgot the camera so no pictures meaning another task for ME get pictures from everyone else. The following week we concluded with the big event of Thanksgiving which was delicious, and fun.I can go into details about everything but i will be writing here for a good week. So i will refrain from everyone getting bored. After all those things i decided that the best way to use my weekend off from school and homework was to spend some quality time with my brother, sister-in-law and bf which ended up being the best weekend ever! I was very happy that i was able to spend time with all of them and go shopping, bowling, dinners, and do guitar hero nights plus movie night. I can't wait to do all this again. Oh yea lets not forget bf & i were able to complete the whole Christmas gift list and finalize our Christmas vacation. YUP Chris' dad, step-mom and brother were all nice enough to buy us tickets to join them in Peru for the holidays. So off we go to Peru on Christmas day!!! How exciting!!!!!!

The way I see it .... #296
Well today was a very productive day... You know sometimes you manage to put your alarm clock for a certain time but yet you love snoozing it, and going back to sleep.... Well that was me! I knew i had 20 million things to do and should start my day early but impossible! Went right back to sleep... FINALLY i decided to stop being so lazy and realized i had to do things so i got out of bed and right to my duties not until i realized i only had an hour till my appointment with the Realtor. Don't know how i manged to get ready, wake up the bf, call the Realtor, mapquest the address, get all the papers ready, drop off a car for an oil change, get Starbucks and get there with 15 minutes to spare. TALK ABOUT FLYING THROUGH EVERYTHING.
While drinking my wonderful coffee i saw that the cup had a little saying and decided to read it... And ding ding ding i got another inspiration!! The bold letters said the way i see it #296... i really haven't noticed the starbucks cups if they all have the same saying but i thought it was wonderful.
"By the time excutives get married, take on a mortgage, raise kids, cope with the crabgrass, climb the corporate ladder, do their best to manage career pressures, build their net worth and get into their 40's, they've lost touch with what they believe in and care about most deeply" By Allan Cox CEO Coach & Author of Your inner CEO Unleash the executive within
LOVE IT!

INSPIRED!
AH! After 3 years of leaving the blogging world i got DRAGGED back into this by my wonderful future sister-in-law (just 9 more days) THANKS! How will i ever get myself into this when i am going insane with everything i have due. In the next 3 weeks i need to turn in 3 papers, 2 final exams, 2 weddings and i am hosting THANKSGIVING!!! Lets not forget house hunting, spending time with the family, bf, and shopping for all these events!!!!!!!!
I know why? well i am insane.... but after reading this article i got inspired and decided i would write my feelings..
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-kass-13-nov13,0,2881384.column
Reading this made me so upset! WHY? Because this is why our world is the way it is. Maybe this might be my Social Work part of me talking or just simply my heart thinking and not my brain. You see sometimes you must think with your heart and not your brain!!
The article proves everyone that
A. We shouldn't be afraid to express our feelings and
B. Many ppl just follow along with what others say so that we are not considered "stupid"
THAT IS WHY IN TODAY'S SOCIETY WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT CLASSES AND EVERYONE LOOKS DOWN UPON PPL THAT ARE NOT CONSIDERED THE "IN CROWD"... TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE LOW AND HIGH CLASS HOW PPL SAY THEY ARE MORE REFINED AND BLAH BLAH BLAH.... NO YOU ACT THE WAY YOU LEARN AND EVEN IF YOU ARE RICH IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU MAY HAVE THE BEST ATTITUDE AND SOPHISTICATION SOMEONE IN THE STREET MAY HAVE...
WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF WHO WE ARE AND WHERE WE COME FROM!!! MAYBE THEN WE WILL MAKE A BETTER WORLD!
AND WITH THAT THOUGHT I WILL LEAVE YOU FOR NOW... BUT I WILL BE BACK WHEN I GET MORE INSPIRATIONS
TODDLES!!
