Some yummie items I made..

I love to bake and here are just a few mouthwatering samples of my amateur baking and cooking abilities. Creating is fun and I love to make yummy goodies. The woman in my family can cook in amazing ways and a few of us can bake pretty well. I enjoy both quite well and have fun doing it. I hope to improve my cooking and baking so that I continually get better and better at it. Hope you enjoy some pictures of my made to order delights.

You can not help to dive right into this great big city. Taxi stands that date back to he early 1900's and murals made from kids on the streets to express their feelings, murals on vans, street vendors and so much more just light up this wonderful city.

Antique New York indeed. Love the Schmucks sign the best I must say. Just a little bit of my Jew coming out in me.





GRAND OLD NEW YORK CITY IS THE MOST HISTORICAL PLACE IN THE STATES. THE HISTORY AND CULTURE HERE ARE MORE ALIVE THEN WE ALL ARE.

Daytona, Spruce Creek....

It was a warm lovely day in March when I my niece and I went for a little adventure. In the back woods of Spruce Creek there is an entire world of nature hiding out from all human race. There are trees dripping with moss, waterways lined with old trees and birds perched so high you can barely see them. You could certainly hear there remarkable songs that bounced from ear to ear as their songs lingered in my mind. The smell in the air was filled with a lovely floral smell of sweetness and beauty. The trails were lined with untouched nature and you could tell there was a out~poor of respect for the grounds we were on. The land was bursting with green everywhere, my eyes were dancing like a girl in Zumba class.












Just a few pix of Daytona. I was there a few weeks ago and it was so lovely. My niece and I walked around some trails and these are the result of the adventure.

Elizabeth Taylor dies........

I woke up to a very cold and snowy morning, yes it is the 3rd day of spring. As I turned on the T.V. early this morning a very sad broadcast was announced. It was the passing of the great american classic icon Elizabeth Taylor. She died at age 79 from heart failure. She had been ill and suffered many illnesses but seemed to be in better health. On this sad day it reminds me of the time passed and how with the loss of Elizabeth Taylor also dies an era of classic actors that have left us all. She had so many roles in life from actor to mother to a wife and so much more. I think her greatest accomplishments came from the work she did with AIDS. She started a fund even and educated millions with the knowledge she was putting out there. Elizabeth Taylor had also received a humanitarian awards and other "things" giving her recognition and thanks for the work she had done. The last time she was in the news was last year when Michael Jackson died. That was a frightening day for so many. For Michael Jackson to die, just like that. No way impossible, he was untouchable. So it seemed. His Dr. apparently administered a lethal does of something that accidently killed the music legend. I recall the numbing feeling I felt when the news was given to me over a broadcast. I grew up loving, listening and dancing to Michael Jackson. Just like so many of us kids that grew up in the 80's. When someone dies that you have grown with all these years, even when they dont even know you, its a terrible feeling. You still feel sad and wish for them to be back. It a true sign that we are all mortal and that time is not on our side. We must all live life and be kind to all others. Well I digress............. my cousin came into town today and took me out to eat for my birthday. We had dinner in Little Italy at_________ and yuuumi it was perfecto'. I will be dining there again. After we finished eating we hoped in a cab quickly to avoid the pounding of the sleet falling from the sky. We need to go to 5th ave and 23rd street please, I told the driver as we slid across the wet seats. In a flash we arrived in Flatiron at the Eately which has gourmet everything! It is a for sure must do if ever you are in NYC. As the hours ticked by it was time for all of us to head home. So off we went, dogging the massive snow flakes and ice pounding us. On the 6 train to Grand Central and then home. What a remarkable day just like every other day when I am blessed enough to share another day on this planet.

Headed back to NYC

Sunday 530 pm

Leaving Bridgehampton now. It was very pretty there.. We went to a pumpkin patch where the kids played like maniacs. It was so cute. It was a pumpkin patch that had all sort of fun things for the kids. A hay ride, slides, races, and so much more. We just left an apple orchard where the kids actually did pick some apples and we had such fun.

Now as we journey home I am anxious and excited for I have yet another date with a boy I have been "dating". I am not quite sure what all this means with him but I do like his company. I have a date with a boy tomorrow that has been asking me out for about 2 months now. I met him out one night when Loren Lief of The Party and I went out. I think this guy is much younger then me. Probably late 20s or maybe 30. He and I are supposed to go out for ice cream. I am not sure if thinks that is code for sex but it is not. well not with him anyways. Dating multiple people at once is serving me right. It is helping me not get caught up with any one boy imperticular. Not that its a bad thing to focus on one boy but I have a tendency to get my heart involved, which leaves it hurt sometimes. Nothing that ever stops me dating and crushing on the boys though. Whoop whoop that much I know.

NYC is becoming better and better for me. Work is tough but pays so well and my personal life is going better then it has in ages. I have a very close friend here who has become like an angel to me. She and I have had so much fun in the city together. For a while we were going to movie in the park, Bryant Park had Monday night movie in the park. We would bring the hello kitty blanket relax on that and munch on delic goodies. When I would bring in the tasty delights it would be wind, cheese and crackers. we would have just the best time. Most of the time they would feature a black n white movie which I just love the best. I grew up watching black n white movies with momma and have loved them since.

Hamptons

Saturday morning on the way to the Hampton's for work. It may sound all fun and glamours going to the Hampton's but really it is not. After all you must remember that I am going to work not play, and there is nobody there that I am friends with. Sure there is beautiful walks I can take at ten pm when I am off work but really at that point all I want to do is crash. Working with kids is a very physical and mentally demanding job. I do not know how some families have 4 kids and more. It is part of my responsibility to take care of two small kids and one baby on the way. The Hampton's where we go is quite beautiful. It is called Bridgehampton, there are tons of farms and organic pick your own stops everywhere. It is about an hour and a half from the city, unless we hit traffic. Boy when there is traffic here it is a ton filled with pedestrians, cars, trucks, delivery vehicles, cyclist, horse and carriage, vespas, skateboarders and so much more you cant even imagine!! NYC is incredible! To my surprise however this city is amazing whit traffic. There is so much congestion yet it flows so well. I don't know how they do it but I think it is a combination of man y things one being the fact people here work together. I think you almost have to work together in this crazy city. You are always in other peoples personal space you must be able to tolerate and work with others here. It a very interesting blend here, the community is so independent and keeps to themselves but the other end is that they are also so unified with others work together . So enough about all that lets get to some good juice in my life......

I started aggressively dating a few months ago. After the last relationship I had ended I just chose not to date for a while, like for a year while. Then I met a guy that sparked my interest and that is what got me back into dating. I have been so busy with these boys its been a blast! I never knew dating could be so much fun. Dating in NYC is like nothing I have ever been exposed to before. There have been some pretty hilarious dates I have been on that's for sure! There is actually one boy that I am possibly becoming a little sweet on. We have been having such great fun together and I am liking it very much. We have been chatting for about a month only so its always a ball in the beginning. I am liking his company very much. While we were out the other night in the Meat Packing district dinning, who other then Kelsey Gammer strolled right in and was greeted by a some friends! I was like uhhhhhh really! That was my first star experience where they are chilling like its no big thing out in public. He looks older in person then on screen, but was defiantly recognizable. You know some stars you would not recognize if they walked right past you but him nahh he was so him! I was loving life. I felt a little high all of a sudden, it was an amazing experience for me.

Flight Attendant

Well here I am on a flight back home to Ft. Lauderdale. The car picked me up at 430 am and my flight left promptly at 630 am. Flying out of LGA is so easy I love it! After watching the sun come up over the city it was time to board the bird. The line went fast and smooth ahh Spirit airlines I thank you. Now I am flying high above the clouds and the view is magnificent. Looking down at the clouds is an whole new perspective as opposed to laying underneath them. The clouds are so beautiful, each is unique to the next, no two are alike. Remember as a child playing the game of what shapes , faces or animals you could find by staring at the clouds. I remember finding all kinds of animals in the clouds. It was always best when my brother or sister would be playing with me and we would share in each others excitement in our discoveries. The billowing clouds are so cool they just dance around the sky, sometimes together while other times by themselves. Clouds have such personality! Clouds are very important they give us so much. If it were not for clouds we would have no shade, no rain, and nothing to dream about walking on. The old saying to walk on the clouds would be quite intoxicating if only we really could walk on them. I think this may be as close as we get to walking on them. One of these days I want to parachute out of a plane and see how that feels. There is something I have always loved about flying, something that fills me with emotions that are at times overwhelming. Not sure when it all started but as a young person I had dreamed of becoming a flight attendant. For many years that was my dream. I took it so far as to apply with United around the age of 22. I remember the interview was in Miami and very extensive. After the 1st interview if they liked you then you were called to a second interview in Chicago and then after that they would confirm you either have the job or don't. One of the questions on the application was do you know a 2nd language, I know sign language so I put that down. Another was would you relocate for the position, my answer was no. So after the first grueling interview was over I went home and went about my life as I waited for the envelope to come. The envelope would contain my acceptance for the 2nd interview or my letter of no thanks Alee we don't need you. Well when the big manila envelope finally arrived I was so nervous and super excited to see what fiat lies inside. I opened it up only to see that there was a 2nd interview request!! Yippie I jumped for joy and called my parents immediately! They were so proud of me and very thrilled for whatever the future was to hold for me. My parents always supported me with genuine emotion.

United was going to fly me to Chicago for a 2nd interview! Wow you talk about excited! I was so happy. They required you to have a navy blue suit on for the interview, so I ran to Macys and bought one. I was looking very sharp in my new suit and feeling like I had the world in the palm of my hand. The day finally arrived and I was to fly off to Chicago and interview with the main headquarters. The interview was shorter then the first and there were very few applicants. They seemed to focus in on the fact I did not want to relocate and that I did not know Spanish but I did not let that slow me down. I pushed through the interview process focusing on what I can do as opposed to what I cannot or will not do. Once the interview was complete they flew all 10 of us back home and again the waiting process began. About 2 weeks later another manila envelope arrived in the mail and once again I tore into it with great excitement. Only to read that they had gracefully declined the option to hire me :( well well well now that's not what I had expected. I was very disappointed to say the least. Turns out relocating was part of the job and I will be honest as crushed as I was , I was OK with. I asked myself if I would be happy relocating and leaving my family the answer was no so I was actually fine. It did take a while to shake the ugh feeling of not getting a job I had tried so desperately to get. I was hoping United would hire me local but when you are a new hire it just does not work that way. So I picked myself up and continued on with a new blue suit that was very sharp and I knew I could use it some other time. I never did re apply for a flight attendant position. after that I sort of lost my will for it. I do think I would have made an excellent flight attendant and I think it would have been so much fun. I was angry and upset for a while but once I reminded myself that God has a plan and t trust in that plan then I was able to really be at peace with the decision of United. Needless to say I did not fly United after that ;)
I do however still have an extra application I had taken with the thoughts of reapplying which you could do only after 30 days. Once that 30 days rolled around I had no interest but I saved the application to remind myself of the past and of the journey I have had in life. Its saving little things like the application that has given me the ability to have a more clear recollection of my life.
