Random Moment. We all have them.

Even though I started this blog with the intentions of only noting the places I traveled to and my experiences abroad, I figured.. why not take advantage of this thingy and speak on the randomness that flows through this overworked mind of mine.

Summary of my thoughts. ((who does this? lol. oh well))

Fashion.
Latest and greatest. 4 to 5 inch heels. Hot. Not wearable in Spain but definitely the stock of my rock back in the states. I always felt self conscious wearing such high heels because I always felt so extremely tall, but at 5'2, 3 to 5 inch heels do not make me tower over everyone. Because I live by the motto, "its not how tall you are but how tall you feel," I always forget that my 7 foot stature is of my presence and not my physical being.

Food.
I realized that grandmas cooking is only a delicacy when referring to a grandma from back in the states. No offense to the Spanish food lovin individuals out there, but Miss Phan is in need of some FLAVOR!!! No spice in her life in Spain. Literally. The only spice they have out here is salt. (AND I DON'T LIKE SALTY.) I hate to sound like a whiney spoiled American, but when your exposed to the luxury of flavored food like Mexican, Vietnamese, Roscoe's (lol), you can't get used to bland.

Fitness.
Because I'm shedding a couple pounds, unvoluntarily, (due to the lack of yummy food that I probably would end up over eating if I were home) I've expanded my work out routine. I figure since I'm losing the weight, might as well sculpt the body. Did you know..excercise improves the quality of sleep.. Well I know that's not rocket science but because those of u who know me know that I value my sleep, thought I'd share some knowledge for all you insomniacs out there.

Friends.
I spoke to my ladylove Quanice Hawkins today,(I know, I totally put you out there) and I realized friends are food for the soul. I didn't realize how hungry my lil soul was until she re-juvinated it with some of her TENDER LOVING CARE (yea.. Michael Jackson moment.) Friends fill in the gaps of your heart with fuzzies when everything else frustrates you. I love my ladies, I love my life. Mushy moment I know, but credit is given where credit is due, and I wouldn't be the woman I am today if it weren't for my love bugs.

And lastly, since I'm on a roll covering all the "F" factors...

Family.
Moms is commin into town!!! Shes gunna be out here spending spring break with me :) She's a trooper.. a ride or die.. a down for the cause type of momma. We are making our way from Spain to Paris to Rome. Updated details will be included after the adventure is completed.

This is a lil lengthy for my taste so I'll end on that note. Besides, who doesn't appreciate happy endings :)

Adios Amigos.
