My Mean "Mug"

From the title you probably didn't think I would be actually writing about a mug, but I am. I don't really think of myself as a collector of things. I don't like clutter and saving things. It drives me crazy. I do, however, have this tiny collection of Romero Britto mugs. If you know me, this would shock you because my color pallet doesn't stray away from blacks, whites, grays, and silvers. Romero Britto is an amazing Brazilian artist who loves color. He combines pop art and graffiti and does it in such a way that makes you happy just by looking at it. Back to the mug. Britto had a collab. with Disney and from this came some amazing mugs with Disney characters painted on them and I am lucky to own some of them. I shop Amazon religiously to try to complete the collection. My favorite of them all is my Grumpy mug, he was the first of my purchases. I am NOT a morning person and obvi. neither is he, but we have spent many mornings together being "Grumpy" and enjoying our coffee.

I currently own Grumpy, Goofy, Donald, and Mickey. I am trying to get my mom to give me her Minnie mug (Don't judge, she doesn't use it) and I am watching Tinker bell on ebay... Universe if you are listening, I can't wait to have them all :-)

We made it to Friday...

Made it to Friday, I thought to myself as I opened my eyes to my fourth snooze alarm. It's been a long and busy (in a good way) week at work and home and I am looking forward to day two of our book organization project at school. Made it to Friday,  I say to myself as I get out of bed and become instantly anxious at the thought that I... Made it to Friday... The thought became scary... Scary because tomorrow is Saturday and we are hopping on an airplane to fly to the Bahamas in less than 24 hours. Don't get me wrong, I love Fridays, I love the thought of being in the warm sun, I love the thought of Friday before spring break...but... I hate the thought of flying (even in first class). We made it to Friday, I tell myself, this time in a bummed out way because tomorrow is Saturday and I have to fly. Flying makes me nervous. I am still having trouble deciding which movie I will watch during our 3.5 hour flight. Usually I feel ok once I have a good distracting movie picked out and ...

“You don’t sound like your name is Ana.”

My husband and I have pretty tricky names. Tricky for others to pronounce and even trickier when people try to spell them. We are really spoiled with delicious takeout options  in the area where we live and will oftentimes order in on the weekends. I’m usually the one to place the orders via the phone because I have dietary restrictions (low carb diet). When placing the orders I always tell the person on the phone my name is Ana just to avoid any confusion and it works like a charm. This morning was different. I was up pretty early feeding my niece and my ever so thoughtful husband asked if I wanted some breakfast takeout. We usually never order out for breakfast but today was different. We were too tired to cook. He dials the number to our favorite breakfast spot that’s about two minutes away from home. He places our order and at the end the person on the other line asks him; “what name should I put this order under?” He replies without thinking; “Ana...” We hear a long pause unt...

Gratitude  On this last day of the blogging challenge I woke up feeling grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this challenge that forces me to find small parts of my day that stick out just enough to write about it. Grateful for waking up on this beautiful island on day two if our spring break vacation. Grateful for all the people I have around me everyday. Grateful for the opportunity I get to sit with the little humans and enhance their already wonderful minds. Grateful for my beautiful little family. And most importantly, grateful for this wonderful life.
