American Eagle Model

I have 3 gorgeous sisters (and one handsome brother!).  And I have always loved to take pictures, especially of them.  But now that two are married and moved out, I have my youngest sister Tori to take pictures of.  This one I took during a snow storm one year.  It turned out to be my favorite picture I have ever taken. 

She is gorgeous.  She could definitely be an American Eagle model... plus she is wearing all American Eagle apparel in this picture!  Maybe another snow storm I'll have some more cool pictures to share.

Ripped in 30

So this past Thursday (April 5th) I started working out.  I usually never am consistent with working out and go back and forth between workouts, sporadically doing some P90X, and making my own moves up.  But this time, this very past Thursday, I found my exercise calling.  Jillian Michaels called me by name as I started week 1 of
Ripped in 30:

This is seriously the most amazing workout I have ever done.  Ever since starting 5 days ago, I have lost a few pounds.  But not only have a shed some weight, I am more TONED... already, just in 5 stinking days! This is seriously blowing my mind because I feel like it's too good to be true.  But this is the real deal!! My mom, sister Victoria, and boyfriend Phil have all noticed that I am leaner and more toned.  So that makes me really excited and motivates me to keep at it!

This coming Thursday (12th) I will be starting Week 2 of the workout video, and I cannot wait!  Hopefully by the end of Week 4 I will be ripped! ;)

Little Prankster

I am truly a prankster at heart.  I love getting a laugh by doing harmless pranks to those around me.  

This enjoyment of pranks spills over into my work-life.  I work at Granite Transformations (http://www.granitetransformations.com/southjersey/), which is my father's, plus two other men, business.  I don't let the fear of my father firing me stop me from pranking! ;)

So far I have gotten 3 people in the office with my classic prank.  What is that prank, you may ask?  Well it involves half of a sticky note and a computer mouse.  See below for exactly what I am talking about:

I cut a sticky note so that the sticky part just fits under the mouse in order to cover the light that allows the mouse to move.  The "victim" slams the mouse around trying to get it to work, but it is all in vain.  Once they decide to pick up the mouse they realize they have been Punk'd! (not really). 
Though it isn't the most "risky" or "adventurous" prank, it has provided a few good laughs.  I have gotten responses such as: "Where is my dang mouse?!"  "Did someone break my mouse and try to fix it with tape?" (I tried tape instead of a sticky note one time).  So it is an "innocent" prank that will provide a chuckle.  Give it a try! Let me know if you get some good responses!

Glitter and Glitz

Last night I pinned my hair up again.  So naturally, my hair is abounding with bouncy curls.  My sister (Victoria) also decided to do some crazy make-up on me, and then dress me up.  She took almost 100 pictures of me! I think she enjoyed it more than I did.  Here is a resulting picture:

Thanks again to everyone who has been reading my blog! I hope you all enjoy reading my posts as much as I enjoy posting them!

Castillo

A couple years ago, my friend Arielle had a few girls over for a party.  She tried to convince us to watch an anime movie, which I wanted nothing to do with.  We finally gave into her pleads.  It turned out that I loved the movie, and I still love it to this day!  It is entitled Howl's Moving Castle.  It's about 2 hours long.  If you're adventurous and spontaneous, watch it!

Enjoy it! I trust you won't be disappointed!

A Westie is a Man's Best Friend

If you ever come to the conclusion that you desire a dog, have West Highland Terriers at the top of your list!
This is my puppy (not really a puppy, she's 4 years old!).  Her name is Leia (taken from Star Wars).  She has to be one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen!

Fashionable Footwear

About a week ago, I was thinking that I needed a great pair of spring/summer shoes.  Approximately a day later, a TOMS magazine made its way to my house, and while perusing its pages, I fell in love with the Spring crochet natural TOMS. And here I am sporting my new favorite footwear!
