Is the grass ever greener on the other side?

Is the grass really greener on the other side? Have you ever come to a fork in the rode or faced a hard decision? One path seems old and familiar the other path seems new and promising and very enticing like it would almost be easier to go over t the greener side. But the question is it really greener on the other side.  Just because something looks good does not mean it may be right or good for you it might even be just like the other path just paved better.  Maybe it’s all about landscaping and making our own paths in life making our outlook and our scenery a little better doing what makes us happy. So it could be greener on the other side or it might not be.  At the end of the day what makes you happy. (that’s it) xoxoxoxo Izzy

Bottoms up!

 



        If you are ever in Cambridge MA, you have to check out this place called Cuchi Cuchi.I went here last year for my Birthday. I honestly did not know what to expect but once I arrived to see a very small person and the hostess salsa dancing at the front door I knew this was going to be a good night. The atmosphere and spending my birthday with good friends was amazing. The drinks and the food were great too.

 

Bottoms Up shots. These are fun because you have to take the entire shot befor e you can put your shot glass down. hence the name bottoms up shots.

 

The shots all had fun names and we tried them all:

Ménage a Trois
Green Goddess
Brazilian Wax
Ripped Stockings
Diphthong
Passion & a Smoke
Orange Truffle
One Splendid Swallow

The food was Great. In this picture is the Chicken Kiev and the Mexican Deep-fried Tomato, Amazing!!!!

The décor

I have been here twice, once for my birthday and once for my girl’s birthday. I definitely want to go back. It is a little pricey but worth it if it’s a special occasion. Well Bottoms up and enjoy. (Thats it) xoxoxoxox Izzy <3

Goals:

I think it’s wonderful to have goals. Goals for now and goals for the future, short term and long term goals. The future is what I mainly stress about so I am happy I am getting things underway to better establish myself for the future. So next month I will be going back to school to earn a certificate to add to my Bachelor’s degree my resume and my work experience. I also intend to work out during my time off to get that six pack for my trip to Miami for my girls bachelorette party (watch to Miami!!) we are definitely not the bad girls of Miami, but I definitely want to look BAD in my bathing suit. I am so excited because everything is scheduled and Working out perfectly.  Spring classes’ end may 9^th and my trip is in June.  Bettering my mind body and soul while on my mini lay off vacation.  (Nameste, I bow my head to you)  xoxoxoxox

Clair huxtable is my mom

Clair Huxtable is my Mother to the T or my mother is her with a West Indian flair. Neither mothers take any crap or back chat and will let you know. Below is an episode of the Cosby show that a watched a few years back. in the episode Vanessa went to a concert and her parents found out. as I watched Clair discipline Vanessa I felt like I was watching my mother on the screen. My mother would have reacted the same way except Cliff would not have been able to hold her back. I love how she asks Vanessa a question then when she is about to answer it she yells: "Shut up!"  Clair Huxtable is my mom. I Loved the Cosby show we need more shows like this.

Clair: "Big fun with the wretched"




xoxoxox (thats it) Izzy

Confucius say.....huh?!



This was my fortune that I  received at the end of the day friday. I thouht this was very interesting.

Thats it xoxoxox Izzy <3

TGIF???? More like TFTL!

I know the picture is blurry but the broom says: "The Witch is in"
























   So this past Friday was interesting to say the least. Let me start out with saying I Love Fridays. Fridays are the highlight of my week because it’s the end of my work week and then it’s on to the weekend. I especially like Fridays when its payday. So this past Friday I thought would be exciting because it was pay day ad we were also getting a catered lunch because it is also the end of the month.
   So about right after Lunch is when things turned bad.  My Boss walked up to the cube in front of me and said to the woman who sits in it: "Hey can I talk to you for a second" (she said this in the nicest possible voice, not typical for her) when she say this to you "Hey can I talk to you for a second" beware because it means you are in trouble and she is about to flip on you. About 5 minutes later the young woman emerged from the office manager’s office and started to clean off her desk. She looked over my cube and told me she had just been laid off. I was like "what!" but not surprised because her as well as I knew she had issues with management and were both expecting she would have been fired or laid off by now. After she left My Best friend who I also work with text messaged me in disbelief but she also saw it coming as well.
  So this is when it gets completely out of control and we definitely did not see this coming. My boss walked up to my best friends cube and said the infamous words: "Hey can I talk to you for a second". When I heard that my heart sunk into my stomach and I said to myself  "NO WAY!" five minutes later my best friend walked from my bosses office right to my desk severance package in hand and told me she had been laid off. Now I was shocked and scared, for her for me. This was crazy! She asked me to walk outside with her after she cleared off her desk. I walked out with her although fearful that I should probably stay nearby in case I was next on the chopping block. I came back to my cube sitting waiting with butterflies my heart was beating so fast and I just kept thinking what I will do. I thought about taking certificate programs and going back to school full time while i look for a new job. I sat and waited anxious I could not concentrate as she kept calling small groups of people in her office. I group went in and she informed us that there had been some layoffs and that our company has been over staffed for some time. She said she did not anticipate any more layoffs but she is not going to swear on a stack of bible that there will not be any either. I was not relieved after this meeting I was mad because she laid off all the "younger people in the office" and I still feel like I am next maybe not this week but I feel it’s coming. Now I won’t be caught off guard. So TGIF???? More like TFTL (Thanks for the Layoff).

Good bye Cube

Good bye Cube



Good bye cube, Deuces!




PS: I really feel for my Best friend because she is getting married in June and had all these wedding expenses. I definitely think she will land on her feet. She was just a little thrown off Guard.



My Best friend and I







Whats cooking

While shopping at a West Indian supermarket I saw this soup: have you had your cock soup lately?

She said: "ooh my favorite"

Chocolate covered strawberries are my Krytonite! the way to my heart is through these. you also have to make an effort too.

Who said that Chivalry is dead?!

 "God damn you the sh-t and I’ll rip my heart out and hand you the sh-t And I dont really know how to handle this sh-t But tonight its moonlight and candles and sh-t"

 

 

 

Lil Wayne – With You Lyrics

[Lil Wayne - Verse 1]
Shawty badder than a 3 year old
keep playing and imma eat her like a pita roll
Im just sayin with my love I could feed her soul
two day getaway and we dont need our clothes
we at the pool and she lookin like a center fold
two tattoos but she say she gettin plenty mo
She got Indian in her family, Seminole
me and shawty go together like chemicals
and she get mad when I call other woman hoes
you send a rose, I pick some flowers and send her those
tall glass of Merlot get her in the mode
two tall glasses of Merlot get her out her robe
I whisper in her ear, than lick around her lobe
and when she check her watch, it’s never time to go
and with her brain she should make the honor roll
And when I came, she caught me like the common cold.

[Chorus]
God damn you the sh-t
and I’ll rip my heart out and hand you the sh-t
And I dont really know how to handle this sh-t
But tonight its moonlight and candles and sh-t

[Drake - Hook]
With you baby
With you baby
with you baby
with you baby
With youuuu and only you

[Lil Wayne - Verse 2]
Uh I say damn I must be left cause you the best I ever seen right
shawty put me on, you got me gone like some green lights
See you with your girls, they probably telling that he aint right
Bet they be the same bitches at the wedding throwing rice
Lets get together over night
Shawty im a pro and you are lookin like the protoype
But see that I took your advice,
sometimes you got to blow it twice then shake it up and roll the dice
Im crusin on the road of life but I need a passenger
Appettite for lovin, ma im hungry like a scavenger
I-I be on that lavender
I-I be in the bath with her
Then I gotta go under that water like a mariner

[Chorus]

[Drake - Hook]

[Lil Wayne - Verse 3]
Now she dont know about me
But Imma put her on it
And she aint show up out me
But cant go without me
We probably aint supposed to be together
but I wonder if our love affair her could last forever
And shawty Im with ya
Smoke alot of weed but I could never forget ya
Then I told her to her face,
If everyone was like you the World would be a better place.---------> This song is off of waynes new Album I'm Not a Human Being

Some people say its not about looks but Swag and swag can make anyone sexy. Just ask all four of Waynes Baby mothers Toya, Lauren London, Nivea and Sarah Vivan.

My Chick Bad Remix

Who’s real who’s fake?

“He’s phony she’s fake, that’s the type of people I Hate”


Shout out to all the people who are real! Never apologize for being yourself. In life you eventually find out who is real and who is fake, who matter and who never did. So if your real and you know it clap your hands (Clap Clap).

Working out in my stilettos

Yes I am Getting my Daily exercise in y stilettos.

So every day at work I make it a point to take the stairs instead of the elevator. So  I clime 8 flights of stairs in my stilettos every day. The main reason I do this is to keep active and to do some form of exercise when I am not at the gym. I mean I'm sitting down at my desk in front of my computer for eight hours or longer a day. I probably take the stairs 4 to 6 times a day. Doing this makes me feel less lazy more active and like a did a little something if I decide not to go to the gym and if I do go even I feel even better. I’m strengthening my ankles thighs and butt. Now I just need to work on the gut.

 

(That's it) xoxoxoxoxo IZZY

Saki and Sushi

Saki and Sushi.......YUM!

This place is a hidden gem in the suburbs. When you drive in it looks like you are driving onto an abandoned property with an abandoned house. But inside is cute and the food is AMAZING!

Fall into the GYM! (I'm just saying)

In the fall and the winter we tend to be less active. I mean seriously who wants to go out in the cold. That’s why at these times I get my gym membership up. I need to keep balanced; I think we all eat a little more during this time of year especially around the holidays. So I am going to start to get active. It’s always good to keep a bag with sneakers and gym attire on you or in your car that way you have no excuse not to go. I just need to plan what week I am going to start and then keep with it until spring and then even through spring. I might start this week or wait until October but I need to get motivated soon. Why pay for a gym membership if you’re not going to use it. That makes no sense at all.

So Fall is around the Corner

So fall is around the corner…… looking forward to layers, fall fooliage, new clothes, Pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread (Mmmmmm)

Vampire diaries

Tonight is the season premiere of Vampire diaries. I am so excited; 8pm can’t come any sooner! No one better call me, text me, email me or ask me to go anywhere because my Thursday nights are completely booked. I have a standing date with the Vampire diaries. This season like last season looks good, finally we get to meet the character Katherine we have all been waiting for and see what sort of trouble she will stir up. Hence “the year of the Kat” This should be very interesting and entertaining to say the least.

PS: I HATE COMMERCIALS!!!!



Vampire Diaries New Season Trailer.




song playing during the trailer--------> The Pretty Reckless - Make Me Wanna Die

My Day Off

My day off consist of finally doing laundry, Cleaning out my closet and sorting through my clothes deciding between what I do and don’t wear. The things I don’t wear I will be donating to Big Brother Big Sister and  The Salvation Army. Fall is on the way and I am cleaning out my closet to make room for boots (over the knee, rain boots and booties), skinny jeans, jackets, gloves, sweater dresses and so on. New things in general and getting rid of the excess clutter. I need to get organized. Let’s just say this is long overdue and about time.

Labor Day weekend……… (Shout out to Earl)

Yes we took shots to Hurricane Earl for not ruining our weekend. So the weekend consisted of a Steak off. We had 4 different steak entries and all were very good. Next was the mix drink competition. We had a buttered nipple, a skinny drink, a jolly rancher and last but not least Hurricane Earl. I brought the bitch wine and skinny girl Margarita. I also would like to add that I won the hors d'oeuvres (appetizers) and the Pasta salad category I did not even know I was entering the competition. Next we sat and played games and laughed with each other while voting on whose dishes were the best (all done by anonymous ballet), Prizes were given to the winners. This was a great rain free weekend with friend’s drinks and GREAT food. (that’s it) xoxoxoxoxoxoxo <3 Izzy

The Steak

Pasta Salads

My Appetizers with the Steak Shish Kabob (these were Amazing)

Jolly Rancher (Tastes just like a Jolly Rancher)

PS: I Love cookouts that don't just have the traditional Hot dogs and Hamburgers I may be small but give me My Meat (that's what she said). That was one of the good things about this cookout. my Only regret was that I thought about bringing my Spicy chicken to throw on the grill but opted out and just brought my Appetizers and pasta Salad. well there is always next time, everyone thought this was an awesome idea and a great day. plans were made to do this again next year.
