How are you? Crazy how fast this year is flying by!! One month left til 2012!!

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you eat lots, hang with family, see old friends?

My Thanksgiving was fun! I stayed local, didn't go back to Boston...I will be going back for Christmas though!

Rach and I decided to attempt to cook our own Thanksgiving dinner and it turned out pretty good! I'll admit instead of a full turkey we went with a Turkey Roast, which worked out great! I made green bean casserole and stuffing... she made potatoes, pie, and pumpkin bread! It was great!

Saturday night I did a little "staycation" downtown! It was a fun way to realize we live in an awesome city! A couple of us got suites and enjoyed the night. From dinner, to a couple bars, to just chatting with friends... it was awesome! My boy Karl and I decided to act like kids again and pose as if we were in an old school Puff Daddy/Ma$e video lol!

Have a great day and thank YOU for listening!

Yet again I proved to myself famiy is only a plane flight away!

Thursday I received a call from my mom saying my dads health had slipped. At one point on Thursday she thought he was not going to pull through. He had been slipping in and out of consciousness do to complications. That being said, I freaked out a bit and spent the day crying. I don't cry often, but I spent much of Thursday in tears! I booked a flight back to Boston for Friday morning and headed back! My sister and her kids did the same.

When I arrived at the hospital Friday night, it was somewhat of a miracle. He was awake (in ICU, but awake) and gaining strength. By the time I left on Monday he was out of ICU, breathing on his own, and making progress...

He is still having some ups and downs, but he is alive, he pulled through, he again proved to me that he is one of the toughest people you will ever meet.

Going home randomly like this was not bad at all. I got to hang out with my sister and her kids. I barely get to see them so it made up for some lost time. I spent time with my mom, spent time with my dad, and got the peace of mind that he is doing ok!

Thanks for ALL the positive words, vibes, prayers, and beyond that you all gave during the past few days... I'm a believer that it helped make this "miracle" happen!

Have a great day!

How was your weekend?!

I feel like Mondays get tougher and tougher to wake up for, because Im always so busy on the weekends! Busy in a GOOD way! So much fun stuff to do in this city its crazy!

On Friday night I hosted the Haunted Trail in Balboa Park! Big shout to everyone that came out! There is a room in the trail in which Sonic and I are a part of. He is a zombie and makes my head explode! When you go to the Trail, check it out!

Saturday I got to experience something that was somewhat "east coast" feeling in my mind. I always talk about how I miss things from the east (grew up in Framingham MA, about 15 miles outside of Boston), especially the seasons! I went up to BATES NUT FARM in the afternoon and it totally reminded me of the east coast fall! We got pumpkins, went on hayrides, etc etc! Check the pics:

Saturday night we all went out to the new McFadden's Downtown! Great times hanging with Geena and everyone!! Thanks to all that joined us!

Hope you had a great weekend as well!

What up party people?

How was your weekend? I had a blast doing some random things around town. Friday I went by the Haunted Trail in Balboa Park to visit the homie Sonic! I love going to Halloween type activities and seeing people scream like little girls!!

Saturday I hung out at the SDSU AZTECS homecoming game against TCU! Props to SDSU for their school spirit!! From current students, to alumni, they came out representing!

Sunday of course was a day for FOOTBALL! Shout to the Patriots for handling the JETS and the Chargers for handling Denver!

How was your weekend?!?

You know what? It's October, time is flying again this year! I know it's Monday..but since time is going by so fast, I think we should all make today a great day! A new start to a new week...the first Monday of the month!!! Cool?

What are you going to be for halloween? I can't believe its only a few weeks away! Lots of people are saying that they would like to dress as Charlie Sheen lol! Your thoughts?

So I get busted on for being "cheap"! I consider myself FRUGAL, not CHEAP! But nothing beats this lady... She sued Walmart because of a 2 cent disgression on a product she bought! 2 CENTS? REALLY?!?!?!?! Here are my 2 cents, GO GET A LIFE AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS! Check this article!: http://www.wgal.com/r-video/24282658/detail.html

Have a great day!!! Thank YOU for listening in!

Happy day after the 4th of July :-)

Are you recovered from the weekend? How was your 4th? What did you end up doing? So normally I partake in the craziness of PB and what not, but this year I tried to be more "mature"! I went out and about downtown SD for happy hour and food then headed over to the Hilton Bay Front for the "Big Bay Boom" fireworks! It was definitely all families with thier kids, then me...but I had a blast! For once on the 5th I feel awake and not struggling haha!

Here is a quick pic of some of the fireworks I saw:

So I got this reciept at one of my meals over the weekend! Really? Places want a TIP and then an ADDITIONAL TIP?!?! What would that be for? What if I want to give her "just the tip" ;-)

Have a great day!

Cool quote for the day:

"You have a gift. You have something to offer that nobody else has. Always be yourself and be thankful!" ... thus Im just Frankie being Frankie!

Got to see Lady Gaga this week and she rocked it in San Diego!
I was amazed at how passionate her fans are...um...her little monsters are! After watch Lady Gaga live, I can now see why! She accepts everyone and make everyone feel special. Lady Gaga sings EVERY lyric to her songs live and puts on a full show! I had a blast experiencing the full on production of her concert!
Here is a pic of the sold out crowd getting ready!
Here is another pic of Lady Gaga in action!
Audio is a little messy, but here she is handlin' the song BORN THIS WAY live on stage!

Holla!

The gym is funny, mon-weds the gym was packed and it slowed down towards the end of the week. CMON PEOPLE LETS HOLD TRUE TO RESOLUTIONS lol!

Have a great day!

Thanks to everyone that made my birthday weekend amazing! I can't remember the last time I had so much fun during a 3 day bday weekend! My younger brother MIKEY even flew in to surprise me. No matter what in life you do or where in life you go, there is NOTHING more important than FAMILY and GOOD FRIENDS! I was overwhelmed by the abundance of both that helped to make this a great weekend!

Me and my bro!

Have a great night!
