Who's Your Padre!?

Well we made it out alive...barely. I finally got home from my girls only beach trip to South Padre Island and I am wore slap out. I would have wrote this post earlier but instead I have been racking my brain on how 1 man can dirty an entire house in a week! So you guys can blame Michael for my extended absence. But I am happy to be home even though I had a fabulous time with some awesome ladies that I adore! This year there were 10 of us so we decided to rent out the penthouse in our condo...which resulted in me singing "I'm So Fancy" all week. Apologizes to all. 

The beach at South Padre is by far the prettiest of all Texas beaches.

There were a few downfalls...like when I was so hungover that I nearly tossed my cookies in a toddler's sand bucket on the beach. I really don't understand why I do that to myself!! I know I'm gonna feel like shit the next day but I still think I am a badass and can handle it. Once again I failed. :) Or there was the group of speedo wearing old men who planted their asses in the sand beside us. Who gave me the urge to toss my cookies again...this time without the help of alcohol!

By the end of the week I was so bloated from the fabulous food and all the alcohol consumed that I had to get right back to eating like a rabbit as soon as I got home. But I really think I could live on fish tacos for the rest of my life, then these had grilled zucchini and squash with them. Yummy!

Result of all the alcohol comsumed by my drunk ass...ducklips. 

Rolling Rock in a frosty glass..thank you beer gods!!

This should explain a lot...

All and all it was a great vacation filled with fabulous food, tons of alcohol and sun kissed tans! 

Be sure and stop by the Blog Baton Instagram tomorrow, yours truly will be taking it over for the day! 

Humpday Confessions

It's Humpday! Yay! That means that when I have the time I am linking up with fellow badass Kathy @ Vodka and Soda for her weekly Humpday Confessions linkup party. Since it's been awhile since I have told y'all about my dirty and weird confessions andddd I am on this new journey to drop some pounds from my ass. I decided I would share my health and fitness confessions with you guys this week. :) 

I confess...that when I eat clean, I poop a lot. It's like my body hates me for all the junk food and alcohol I have ever put in my body.

I confess...that if I see you at the gym with a full face of makeup, a coke in your hand, hair curled and your walking at a pace of 1.1 on the treadmill...I am most certainly giving you the side-eye and judging you at the same time! 

I confess...that I have had dreams of face planting on the treadmill, with a giant treadmill facial burn included. 

I confess...that I think I am burning more calories in some bizarre way when I eat spicy foods. 

I confess...that I get on the scale after I poop to see how much weight I have lost. 

I confess...that I will not run in public because my boobies are to big and I am not trying to give myself a black eye with small children around. 

What are some of y'all's fitness or health confessions??

Don't forget to go visit Kathy and the rest of the cool kids on the link-up! 

Ryan really wants to see you! 

Sriracha Broccoli

Happy Tuesday friends! 
Since sriracha is one of my favorite things on earth and broccoli is my favorite veggie, I just had to try this recipe that combines the two.

It's been said that I am a horrible cook but this recipe was even easy for me...and that's saying a lot! I made it a few weeks ago, and if you follow my Instagram you saw that I paired this side dish with a salmon fillet covered in roasted salsa. It was just Michael and I for dinner so I added a little more sriracha than what the recipe actually calls for since we like things hot and spicy....you know kinda like us! :)) 

Ingredients:

3 Heads of Broccoli

2 Tbs Soy Sauce

2 Tsp Sesame Seed Oil

3 Tbs Sriracha (your choice on how spicy you want it. Use 1 1/2 tbs for less spicy

1 Garic Clove

Handful of Crushed Peanuts (15 peanuts or so)

Black Pepper, to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 400°.

2. Cut the broccoli from the stalk into small florets and wash & dry well.

3. In a large bowl, mix all the seasonings and diced garlic together.

4. Coat the broccoli evenly.

5. Put the seasoned broccoli onto a baking pan.

6. Bake for 15 minutes, but remember to toss it half way through.

7. Serve with extra crushed peanuts on top!

***No reason to worry if broccoli is brown, cooked soy sauce turns it brown.

I Sleep With The Coach...

Hey sweet friends, since not working my days somewhat run together but for majority of you guys I know y'all are really looking forward to the long weekend. So, cheers to that!

I have been so hit or miss with my blog recently because you so busy. It's so bad that I was texting with a friend this past week and we were trying to plan a time to finally get together and the first weekend we have open is not until the beginning of AUGUST! Were only in MAY! Dear sweet baby Jesus...help me! Our Spring baseball season is in full swing right now so all we do this time of year is Eat, Sleep and Play/Watch baseball. I am not complaining at all, but I just need a day at the lake or by the pool break. Plus, I figured since I was washing the coach's clothes, cooking him dinner and sleeping next to him every night the guy would give me a damn break! *Hint *Hint

Butttt I do think I'm gonna get a little relaxation in tomorrow evening because we only have 2 baseball games tomorrow morning and were only playing an hour or so from home. So, I hope to be back to town by 3ish so we can meet up my bestie/sister-n-law/Michael's sister and brother-n-law for some hanging out, grilling and adult beverage consumption. Then, baseball starts back up bright and early Sunday so we can bring home 1st place! :) 

This made me giggle...

I hope everyone has a fantastic and safe weekend!

 Also, thanks again to all my fabulous followers who take time to leave such kind comments or send me sweet emails...it is truly appreciate it. 

Blog Update

Hello Friends!

Happy Humpday to you y'all, there is only a few more days until it's the weekend. Which I am eagerly looking forward to, since we actually don't have anything going on until Mother's Day. I am not even kidding...no weddings, no baseball, no practices, no birthday parties. It's been over 3 months since we have had a appointment free weekend and this sista is ready to enjoy it! But we do have Mother's Day plans Sunday with Michael's mom and grandmother, which is always good with me...because. who the hell doesn't love homemade Mexican food!?! I won't be getting to spend Mother's Day with my own madre because she lives so far away, but I did drop her card in the mail Monday. 

What do you all lovely ladies have planned for your special day??

The Fuentes' house has had a couple changes recently that I haven't had a change to share with you guys. -No, I'm not preggo yet. Butttt, Michael put in for an awesome job opportunity a couple weeks ago and HE GOT IT! We are so excited, the company is amazing and the benefits are fantastic! Plus he gets a brand spankin' new Ford crew cab company truck that he gets to drive 24/7! And then to top it off...this mamacita is now a stay-at-homer! After driving 2 hours one way to work for 5 years, I am very relieved to be able to have time for anything especially time to focus on ME! Which I don't mean in a selfish or bitchy way, I just need to put some effort into myself instead of trying to take care of everybody else. I joined the gym last week, along with going over recipes and meal planning. After seeing pictures of myself at my sister's wedding and then this past weekend, I really need be in there!!! Michael and I have developed so many horrible eating habits over the years so I know it's going to take us working hard to break them. I am kinda anxious as well about not working because the last thing I want to do is get bored. So, if y'all have any suggestions on making the move from career woman to stay-at-homer, let me know! :)

Quick Weekend Recap:

My cousin's wedding was beautiful as expected, Lane danced with all the ladies.....as expected. :)

We spent the night downtown San Antonio on the Riverwalk, we left Sunday morning to head home. We couldn't go home without stopping at The Snake Farm in New Braunfels. Lane absolutely LOVED it! The snake part was not fun for me but all the rest of the farm was, I highly recommend! They have a section where you get to feed goats, pigs, ducks, and a llama! 

 

Twerking and Spanx

Hey sweet friends, I am so sad that I am so behind on reading everyone's blogs, I promise I will get to it very soon. While on the road yesterday between Odessa and Fort Worth I had some time between singing my heart out to get come confessions together for Kathy's Humpday Confessions.

I confess...I think the real reason why my dogs hate riding in the car is because of the lack of singing ability I have.

I confess...at my sister's wedding rehearsal, I twerked in front of her soon-to-be stepdaughter.

I confess...halfway through the wedding reception, I took off my Spanx and was "free balling" the rest of the evening.

I confess...that I'm considering getting a 4' tall redneck pool from Walmart.com because Texas Summers are fucking hot!

I confess...I don't wash my hair but every 3 days or so, because ain't nobody got time for that! But no really it takes me forever and a day to wash this mop.

I confess...that just this week Michael and I have already googled "race of Panda Express's owners", "white beans", "Todd Chrisley gay" and "Justin Bieber's neck tattoo"...I am seriously beginning to think we have a problem with googling shit.

I confess...that I HATE working out and eating "right". It's complete bullshit.

I confess...that we have been so busy lately that all I really want to do right now is to sit on my ass at home and watch some mindless reality TV.

 

Wedding, Basketball & Easter Recap

Hey Friends! 

I have missed ya'll so much!
I feel like I have told y'all  how busy I am in every post I have wrote in the last 3 months, but I swear I really am. So here is a quick recap of why I feel like a hot mess...We had my sister's wedding this past weekend where I was a total badass when it came to my Maid of Honor duties. I totally rocked...if I do say so myself!

Lane had his regional basketball tournament, of course he rocked it out. Because he learned all his skills from his step mom! :) They did lose out, which isn't completely terrible because Nationals were 8 hours away. Please refrain from the judging me for being ok with our team losing...y'all do as much traveling as we do then you can judge me! :)

Our Easter was wonderful, we went to Michael's grandmothers' house...where she informed me in Spanish that I better be pregnant next time she sees me. I wanted to tell her that her grandson and I needed to have more sex to up our odds...but I didn't. :) Lane has grown out of Easter egg hunting so he helps his toddler age cousins.
