memorial day weekend: thank you to those who have served our country!

memorial day weekend signals the start of rising temperatures, sizzling cookouts, longer days, and beach vacations.  oh, summer, how i have longed for thee.  

but let's not forget the main reason why memorial day is celebrated.  no, it's not because some people are able to take a day off or because shopping stores have massive sales.  memorial day is a day to pay tribute to those who have served our country, to those who have protected our country, and to those who have died for our country.  without those people, our nation would be in ruins and the united states would not be the powerhouse that we are.  so, i would like to thank those who have fought for our country and i appreciate your service.

i hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend.  i sure did, even though it was uber hot up here in the northeast!  

until next time!

back from MIA!

i've been [m]issing [i]n [a]ction as of late, and i apologize.  i just have not been motivated to write about anything because it seems like it's just the same thing over and over again that spins around in my head.  repetition gets dull to you and me both, i know.

as some may know, i just got back from a 5-day trip to MIAmi (yes... again... lol) and it was fun as usual.  i had oyster shooters for the first time, went to the everglades to visit the alligators, started the soul train at clevelander (and let me tell you, it was such a blast.  we are the party starters!), popped bottles at mansion (it wasn't as fun this time because our table was located at a terrible area of the club and the music was blah), beached it up a million times, played king's before we went out (that's always fun), played charades one night (girls dominated!), and danced up a storm in brickell on our last night.  all in all, it was an enjoyable trip with lots of memories. :)

next up on my list of adventures includes skydiving (june 12) and a beach trip to OCMD with a bunch of friends (always fun!).  


i promise to update more frequently!  toodles!
