Ode to the Mom Agenda

I love this planner & highly recommend it to everyone who uses daily planners, Mom's or just women who like to make their days easier & much more organized. I am not a Mom yet, however, being a single 20 year old. I cannot get enough of my Mom Agenda Planner!!! This agenda is a 2 year planner. Yes, 2 years 2010-2012. How wonderful is that?! Thick cover, reminds me of a novel binding.

To me it is the crème de la crème of planners! Ultimate organization.. Here is a brief description:

They come in various colors & cover designs. Prices range from $40-$45. I have the pink desktop Mom Planner. It is a 2 year planner with address book, note pad, Monthly & weekly calendars, Vacation planner and so much more!

Happy Thursday Friends!:)

And I'm spent!

And I'm Spent & with no pictures to show for it.  My camera broke on the drive up. I am very bummed that I have no pictures to show you girls at all. Forgive me?

Yes, I am back from my weekend vacation in Maryland/DC and I am exhausted.

It was a great time with my parents & sorority sister. We stayed at her home and it we had a wonderful time.

On Friday, we ventured into Baltimore, visited Little Italy. We ate at a place that I believe was run by the "M****". If you catch my drift. ( wink * wink). So, that was super uncomfortable and very Godfather like. We walked around the Inner Harbor, which was fabulous. There is the Domino Sugar Factory on the harbor. You can smell the sugar being cooked… it was really amazing!


Saturday, we toured the US Capitol & Library of Congress. Can you say... WOW!!! I was just in awe by the size of these two American Landmarks. Who in the world knew that these two building were built back in the 1700/1800's by hand?!! The craftsmanship is jaw dropping. I found myself, just staring at everything & thinking.." My oh My… now this is craftsmanship at it's finest" We don't build things like this anymore.


Saturday Night- Dinner at a Portuguese Restaurant called - Tavaria! Yes, I was psyched. My beloved culture is now in MD area. My parents were tickled pink as I was - ha-ha. I am 100% Portuguese - first generation. I grew up in this world and now, living in the Carolinas. I am not around it anymore, therefore, I get super excited when I find a place t hat offers my food :)


Overall, the trip was great, many memories were made and I did miss my readers/friends. How was your weekend?



Until next time- Adeus,

Silvia

IPhone 4G..Gotta Have it!

How excited was I to see Steve Jobs announce the new Iphone 4! I am a nerd for gadgets. I can't help it. The only problem is.. Cost. I can't afford half of this stuff that comes out. I really want the Ipad. I am saving up for one and the new IPHone 4 when I am able to. My cell contact will end the beginning of next year. So, I will definitely be purchasing this little puppy in white & once my laptop passes away ( perhaps 2-3 more years? Ha-ha). I will invest in the newer version of the Ipad. ( You know, there will be a newer Ipad 3 come that time :) ).

So, what do you all think of the new Iphone 4? Do you have an Iphone already? Or are you like me, saving your pennies & waiting until you renew your cell contract?

I'm a Bookworm & I am Proud!

dnI am a true book worm. I read all the time, books, magazines editorials, newspapers etc.. I read on my lunch break, in the morning when I wake up and begin my day, even before I fall asleep I try and read 1 chapter before bed. My friends always ask how do I go through books so quickly, my answer: I am addicted to reading :)

Here are my top reads for the month of June:

1). Hannah's List by Debbi Macomber
2). The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
3). Island Beneath The Sea by Isabel Allende
4). Heart Of The Matter by Emily Giffin
5). Pointe and Shoot: A Jenny T. Patridge Dance Mystery by Natalie M. Roberts

What do you like to read? Are you a book worm too?

Happy Tuesday :)
