Very indicative of my weekend life. Hanging out with my mom, sister, niece and nephews BBQing, scootin’, wearin’ my gold hoop earrings, and waitin’ for the paletero.

Didn’t go out tonight because I wanted to make sure I don’t get more sick. So, like, what else would I do on a Friday night but put on a face mask, paint my nails, watch Portlandia, and order this sweater from Forever 21?
I want hand tattoos so badly but, like, I know I shouldn’t get them. I’m not at the point in my “career” where it would be acceptable to have tattooed hands (I’m in social work so it’s an office/business attire setting). I never hide my arm tattoos (my thigh ones, yes) but the HR lady hired me knowing I had tattoos so I feel like it’s not a big deal. I plan on getting even more, but for now, no hand tattoos. 😥

My most favorite of all albums from 2012.

I’m so late on this, but whatever. Some of these songs didn’t necessarily come out in 2012, but I still obsessed over them.

(A really good makeup day)
I kept trying to figure out if 2012 was a “good” or “bad” year. I guess I mostly compare every year to 2009 because that was probably the crappiest year I’ve had to date. So in comparison, 2012 was great. But actually, it really was. I turned 30, travelled a lot, dated a lot, and I think that now I really know myself pretty well. Like anyone else, I have my bouts of sadness (the latter part of the year truly kicked my ass), but I’m trying to see the silver lining in things. I can’t say I have my whole life figured out; that will probably never happen, but I can say that I know who I am and what I want in life. Now, I just have to go about how to attain all those things I want for myself. Yeah, it’s taken me 30 years to figure it out, but I’m OK with that. I just want to start/keep being positive – not just taking it one day at a time, but one hour at a time.
On another note, I don’t know where this blog is headed. I’ve had lots of internal monologues about what I need to be doing with it since I don’t blog as regularly as I did in the past. But I do appreciate that I still get e-mails and comments on old posts. I’m sure I’ll have it all figured out soon enough.
Oh, and look for my favorite photos of 2012. I’ll be posting them in three parts today.
Happy 2013, y’all!
