Aries Update: 12/31/12

It reads and I quote: If you feel restricted and can pin it on a certain reason or person, consider yourself lucky. Most people don't realize how they are being limited. This fits me to a tee, I do feel that I just want to spread my wings and fly, and what I am doing in my life is getting old and I want to do other things, knowing the reasons does not mean that you could change your whole life overnight though! I know the reasons that is for sure, but what are my capabilities of doing what I want to do is the questions I need to address first and foremost in my life! Restless, yes that I know, what I need to do about it is the problem I need to solve.

Alfonso's Meatballs!!!

Alfonso's Homestyle Italian meatballs!

Alfonso's meatballs will be sold at Big Al's deli (south wood ave. Linden) beginning Jan, 15th and remember Big Al's has the best subs in town.

Merry Christmas!

Well guys, it is here, I just love this time of year, some humbugs ask me why and I say because it is the only time of the year when people are united and full of love and kindness for each other! If everyday could be like Christmas time the world would be a better place! I hope all your dreams and wishes come true and you all have a wonderful holiday!

Angels!

I sit here and try to go about my day, I do fine and than waves of saddest overwhelm me time and time again!  I did not know any of the loss souls that perished in the Sandy Hook elementary school, like so many of us but now they are a part of me !  Holidays are around the corner and we all have to go about our business, celebrate, smile, go on as always, that is the way of life, the old saying is life goes on, no ifs and buts about it.  My promise to myself is that each and every time I feel sad, I will remember all the angels smiling down on me, I will feel their hugs and warmth all around me and let them bring light and happiness into my life. I feel, that God would have never taken them away, for no reason at all, I have to believe there is a purpose and a reason. I believe in angels, and it comforts my soul to know that 27 more beautiful angels will be opening their wings and give warmth to my heart and soul. 

To give!

I love being a giver, always have been and always will!  I like to see happiness and joy!  When we were growing up, my mom did her best with giving as much as she could for the holidays to her children and those she loved.  I learned at a young age what it was like not to have what others had.  Looking back on that, I now know it is what made me the type of person I am and I would not want it any other way! I learned by giving in the long run, fulfills your heart a lot more!  Thank you mom for all you have instilled in me, you were the kindest person I have ever known and taught me well!  I love you always and forever!  Till we meet again in the heavens forever and ever!  xxoo

Disrespect vs.Bad temper!

I had a long conversation with a friend , about the difference of a bad temper vs disrespect, my opinion is a bad temper is when you get cut of driving a car and you curse your ass off or have no patience and fit out at an object not a physical human being!  Disrespect is something all together different, that is when you are a person who just uses the excuse of having no patience and is just down out rude, arrogant and just a plain rotten individual.  By the time the conversation was over they agreed more with me than before,  examples helped also, and I have quite a few to talk about!

Overwelmed!

I have been reading on whats happening at the sandy hook school!  How and why is this happening! When you send your child to school, they are suppose to be safe, not murdered by some derange manics with guns!  How dare they do this, how dare they take all those lives! God bless all those lost, and for all the families they left behind in pain and hurting from the gore of their being, in shock from not understanding what was to be just another day, not the end of their life as they knew it!  Just children, how dare those gunman walk the earth and the one who is dead already, I hope hell is burning you right now as I speak and your pain will be everlasting!  I cannot even fathom what its like for all the families, God bless them all, for their lost is great! Amen!

Before and afters!

Hi my friends just wanted to show you all how much will power my men have.  My husband Bob was very overweight but decided to loose it all and that he did, as you can see by the picture on the top.  My son Rob was not overweight but bulked up for football in the picture on the top, when football was over and done with it he decided he wanted to go back to his original weight.  They both did what needed to be done on shear will power, now me on the other hand needed a little bit of help by getting the lap-band procedure. LOL  What can I say no will power for me, but I do not at all have any regrets with the operation!  I love it and feel and look the best I ever have.  I have a before picture which when I get the courage to show all I will, you all will be quite surprise of how being overweight changes how you look.  But I want to say, that no matter what weight you are, always and I mean always be proud of who you are, inner beauty far outweighs outer beauty!

Dylan!

Little Dylan, my great nephew, I love this child so much!

Good night all!

Time to take an Advil  for my back and neck and headache and try to get a good night sleep without waking up 3 to 4 times a night!   Even with not getting good night sleeps, I still love life and if God allows I plan on being around for a while!! 

Memories!

Like the corners of my mine, I just love that song from Barbara Streisand's movie The way we were!
Going through all my photos is making me kinda of mushy right now!  What could I say, I am just a sap for memories and all those I love!

Nothing better than family!

There is nothing in the world like family, in Manhatten NY at Christmas time, last year!

Snow storm!

I love this picture, I find it very calming and quite!  You just know that when your inside your home everything is warm and cozy and safe.

Christina and me!

My niece Christina and me at the Ice ring in Woodbridge for a birthday party.

Cousin!

It was great reconnecting with  my husband cousin Bill at last years wedding, he was in our wedding 30 years ago!  He is a lawyer and a very good one at that!

Fun times,  last NewYears Eve wedding with my husband and son

                                               

Best part of my day!

The best part of my day is going home to people who truly love me and I them! There is no better feeling than that! You know the saying there is no place like home and that is the truth!

Last Night!

I was watching the X-factor last night, I have had my favorites since beginning of show, but last night a really enjoyed 5th Harmony's performance.  They all have such nice voices and together they sound just great!  I really hope they get to be part of the top 3.  Fingers cross!

The more I try!

The worse it gets, I am trying to figure out how do get my pictures right the more I do it the worse it gets.  I am determine to get it right, but as of now I need a break from it, my brain is feeling like mush, computer savoy I am not!  Whats a girl/women to do?

Our christmas tree, great I learned how to get picture on blog now the problem is how do you
rotate it so it will not be upside down!  Until I fiqure this out enjoy my tree, it really is a nice one. LOL
Oh boy, I just keep making this worse, how do you rotate this crap!  Now I cannot get rid of me off this thing.  I really did not want to get my son involved, he is a great kid but for some unknown reason for himself he always figures things out, as for me it is a big, big, Huge, problem!  Thats when (me) mommie dearest comes out!

Positive vibes!!!!!

Labels for meatballs approved and ready to print, now all I need to do is get through the holiday and start this business in full swing!  I will let you all know when in store, please send lots of luck my way!  We all know anything new is scary!  Positive attitude is always there for me, but when negativity surrounds you it could get a little ruff!

Me experimenting with my cell phone camera yikes scary.lol

Me experimenting with my cell phone camera yikes scary.lol

Mondays!

Mondays are bad enough, plus the rain makes for a bad start to the work week!  Oh well whats a person to do, oh I know, just be glad you woke up at all!  Life is wonderful!

Really!

A person who says to you its not always all about you says it because most of the time its all about them! They don't care about much of what anyone says!

Move!

If I hear the word move one more time I swear, (I cannot say the rest) but the word move should be use this way or least that is the way I was brought up, excuse me please could you move for a second, I don't care how busy a person is, manners is instilled in you no matter the circumstances!  Some people should remember that, behind close doors as well as in front of them!

Sometimes!

You know sometimes when I wake up in the morning I will remember a dream sobbing for my mom! I realize that no matter how old you are you never stop missing the people you loved so much in your life! I remember most her touch!  Funny, of all things just her touch!

Friday!

I am so on schedule, and if I say so maybe even better than that.  Guess what LOL tree is decorated yea!!!!  Going tonight to get chopmeat for the meatballs and I enter a sweepstakes the Ellen show is doing!  It ask what would be the best thing you could want!  Now you have to know what I wrote, of course I wrote about my great Alfonso's Homestyle Italian meatballs and the dream I have of marketing them,  $20,000.00 dollars would surely help don't you think!  I have always believed in a dream and all the possibilities that come with it!  Until my last breath I will always believe that dreams really can come true!!!!  Love ya all!

Check!

Meatball labels approved, check Vacum pac sealer in, check  now I just have to wait for label to come in and begin the making of Alfonso's Homestyle Italian Meatballs.  I figure if a person can make a successful  business by stuffing a cupcake I could too, with a good Italian meatball!

Label!

I was just send the proof of my label for the meatballs.  I have 4 proofs to choose from!  Decisions, decisions!  Need to show the family for opinion! 

Old Friend!

Just ran into a old friend I have known since I was a kid!  The pass is a great thing!

Tree!

Tree is going up tonight  and decorating Sat. Just saying!  Do you care, I hope so!  LOL

So much on plate!

Hi all, I have so much on my plate right now, feeling a little overwhelmed.  Believe me I am not complaining, well maybe a little.  LOL  I am the type of person that needs everything just so, one of a very few phobia's I have, the other being if you touch my curtains, watch out!  When the holidays come I feel like there is no way on earth I will accomplish what needs to be done and before you know it, Christmas is here I did it with no problem. The problem is I get so nervous about it and it takes a lot of the joy out of it for me. This year I think I have paced myself a little better, but than I decide to start a little business venture which I believe you all know what it is " Alfonso's Homestyle Italian meatballs"  and now between that and the holidays I think I kinda of did it again to myself and all the anxiety is setting in , big time!  I want to get it started right away, while the plate is hot!  I have everything in the works as I speak, and now I have to just approve the label and start making the meatballs all while I get ready for the holidays!!!  ekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!   Okay, now I am calming myself down and saying everything will be good, everything will turn out fine, calm yourself down and breath, long deep breathes. I refuse to have a heart attack just because I think my meatballs will be the best in the world, and Christmas came at the wrong time LOL.  I feel so much better now that I let you all know how I feel!!   Later friends!
