I'm gonna give this a shot..

I finally have a blog! (Insert Applause here).

After many failed "I'm going to start a blog today!" proclamations after trying new restaurants on my travels, or finding the perfect side table at TJ Maxx, or why I hate people who take up sidewalks with over sized umbrellas, I decided it was time to stop being lazy and make an attempt at"blogging". So fancy the word! I almost feel like this is a job and I should pay myself, but then i remember I have zero funding.

A little bit about myself. Ill keep it short since I'm basically the only person who loves to hear all about me, unless you want more and who am I to say no to that?! My name is Kathy. I have an angel as a husband named Coco, and three delicious and rambunctious canines named Frijol Manuel, Lola Isabel, and ChaCha Marie. I love middle names (clearly) and think its weird when people don't have them. I'm Cuban from Miami and I very often like to include that in any conversation I have bc I'm damn proud of my heritage. ( Que viva Chango!). I live in NY. A city that stole my heart and that I now consider home. I am surrounded by a great group of friends that complete me (they are colorful and crazy), a dysfunctional family which I love (you'll read about them too, you've been warned), and a blessed life that often causes me to pinch myself to see if it really is real. I hate the telephone, and will never answer my phone (i find small talk meaningless). I love emails, and I suspect this blog may make me more catatonic!
There are 3 things I love more than anything in this world: wining and dining, travelling, and tanning (and not tanning bed tanning. Old school tanning with the sun). Reading gets an honorable mention. So do dinner parties at Casa Buccio that involve spontaneous dance parties, too much alcohol, and great conversations with my UN of friends.
So lets say there are 5 things I really like.

That's me in a nutshell. But to get a real sense of me, just read my blog title. I have a comment about EVERYTHING. or at least almost everything. It's my husband who frequently tells me "Thanks for your 2 cents, Suarez." This is always followed by some useless bit of info or pointing out the obvious which I am SO good at. And its true. I like to add my "two cents" anywhere I can. I'm sure I get some eye rolls, but these 2centisms are a part of me, and go with me wherever I may go. So who knows! You may get lucky on this blog and get some 2 cent wisdom from yours truly.

I hope you enjoy reading my ramblings and my thoughts and all my two cents. I like to share things I see, experience, purchase, or maybe just share some plain ol' thinking bits that pop into my elephant brain.

Here's to you. Here's to me.
Enjoy!
