There’s more to me than a title.
It finally happened. Carlos got a hold of a pair of my heels I left by the side of the bed. Granted, this is my fault. I should have put them in my shoe container in the closet, but I didn’t. On the positive side, I have plenty of other brown heels and have had these pair for over a year. But it’s still sad. I’ll miss these heels.

On May 11th, I was blessed to celebrate another birthday. Every year seems to pass by so quickly. This year our traditional family dinner also included my grandma. (She recently had major back surgery and moved in with us now that she needs help around the clock.) It was nice to have her there and spend some quality time with my family. I guess as you get older you start to appreciate them more and more. At least that has been true for me.
To many more years of good health, happiness and love!

Last night was the PRSSA Cord Ceremony where we told our seniors farewell and congratulated the new officers. I am pleased to announce that I will be the Director of Public Relations for PRSSA at UTSA! Going to school full time, working part time and still acting as Chair of Guadalupe Home can be overwhelming at times; however now that I am taking less classes, I can finally devote more time to PRSSA and share my contacts and knowledge with others. I can’t wait to make this organization even bigger and better than in the past!

Our billboard for Guadalupe Home is now up! If you live in San Antonio you can see it at 281 and 410 right in front of the airport Drury Hotel location. Thank you SO MUCH to Bob and Carmen Drury for making this happen. We certainly hope this will help raise more awareness about Guadalupe Home and increase our volunteers and donations! I could not be more excited about this!

By now you all know how much I love the Rocco Dispirito cookbook I purchased. Here we are 4 weeks later and I’ve lost 5 1/2 pounds! Yesterday I decided to try making the banana walnut muffins and they were (not surprisingly) delicious! Who knew muffins could taste so good without all the sugar and calories?! If you want to try making these muffins too I’ve posted the recipe below.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 packets of powdered stevia
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup skim milk
1/4 agave nectar
2 bananas mashed
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp banana extract
1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
small bag of walnut pieces
DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a 12 cup muffin tin with Pam. I found that combining all of the dry ingredients and then the wet ingredients was easier to do. Make sure to use a handheld mixer as you go, so the ingredients will mix easily. Then spoon the mixture into the 12 cup muffin tin. Once you are done sprinkle the walnut pieces on top. The recipe suggested walnut halves, but I like the pieces better so I can put more. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Enjoy!

Last year was the beginning of a great partnership for Guadalupe Home when the San Antonio Run For Life was created. This year Guadalupe Home plans on creating a team to participate in the race and help raise more awareness about a great event supporting not only Guadalupe Home, but also the San Antonio Coalition for Life and Allied Women’s Center.
If you haven’t already please visit the San Antonio Run For Life website to register early. Also, if you would like to be a part of the Guadalupe Home team please let me know!
See you on September 8th!

Remember the commercials as a kid where the cute puppy or cat would paw at the toilet paper roll? Sometimes it would go down stairs. Sometimes it would just keep rolling. In the commercials it’s super cute. In real life … not so much. Lately Carlos has learned how much fun this can be. It was funny the first time. The second and the third I wasn’t laughing. Oh Carlos Friday. I gotta love him, but I need him to stop wasting toilet paper. LOL

The older I get the more I think me and my sisters and my mom DEFINITELY look alike. What do you think?

Was it just me or did Easter come and go really fast this year? Maybe it was because on Good Friday I had to go to school and take an exam, instead of having the day off like everyone else. Who gives an exam on Good Friday anyway?! Oh wait … a professor who isn’t Catholic. Duh, LOL!
On a separate note, I learned that trying a recipe found through Pinterest is not the best idea. Especially if you double it up to make more than you should. Lesson learned Pinterest. Lesson learned.
Hope you had a great holiday weekend!

We all knew it would happen. Last season I played softball with no injuries. The third game of this season however … well let me explain.
I had to slide into a base THREE times, while I was catching I had a ball hit me directly on my chin and give me a big bruise AND welt, and then who could forget when the softball hit me in my back because the pitcher TRIED throwing to the catcher to get me out at home. I wobbled back to the dugout after that one. So EVEN THOUGH I had on my three quarter spandex pants I still managed to mess up my left knee and chin again. Yep, I look like I was beat up from my knees down. And it’s perfect timing too with bikini season right around the corner. How the heck do I hide these scars in Vegas when I go in June?!
A part of me feels like getting a tattoo now that says “softball scars por vida.” Just so people know I’m hardcore like that. As if the scars on my legs aren’t enough. I better look into some sliders now. Seriously. Because we all know my competitive side isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
