Peace, Love and Justin Bieber.

Peace love and Justin Bieber.

Yesterday was a long day. It is Christmas at ULTA, which means extended hours and spending more time at work than I do at home. C's at her dads for Thanksgiving and is going to be home tomorrow, so I wanted to go DOOO something. Decided to go to Burlesque with the girls last night after work, simply because I could. The movie was a mix between Coyote Ugly and Chicago. I am absolutely in LUST with all the yummy make-up, wigs and costumes, though the story itself was pretty predictable.

At the theater there was a life-size Justin Bieber poster, begging me to take a picture with him.

Oh. yes. he. begged.

I obliged. duh.

Valency Fabulous

I have the bestest bestie in the world. It makes me sad that we live so far away, but glad that both of us are so well 'connected' that I can stalk her whenever I want! When I got home from work tonight, THIS was waiting for me.

I ADORE Bestey Johnson, like...A-LOT! Valency sent me a Betsey Johnson camera necklace!!!!!

Yay yay yay! swoon.

I collect camera necklaces and they are becoming harder and harder to find!


What you need to know is that Valency is SO fabulous that Betsey Johnson herself wears a Valency Fabulous top.

It's exclusive...you won't find a Valency Fabulous top anywhere....unless, of course you are Betsey Johnson!

I got a bright red rose ring to match my new, red full-color lip gloss (Pur Minerals 'Deep Amethyst'). Yup, yup ...
As much as I'd love to stay and chat, I has papers waiting to be typed!

Pictures from Cierra's Fall Set

Here are some pictures from the fall shoot of Cierra.

Enjoyage!

My Boyfriend and My Current State of Bliss

Love isn't a decision,it's a feeling.

If we could decide who to love,

then, life would be much simpler,

but then less magical.

Okay, first you must know that I ADORE my boyfriend. Living together has been strengthening,interesting, hard, entertaining, and comforting all in one. My boyfriend considers HD tv, oceans (and stuff like that) to be the most important time of the day.

I need lots of attention, so I've thought about dressing up like a piece of plankton for his entertainment, only I'm not so sure he'd find the humor in that at the moment.

He is SOOOO not perfect. JUST. LIKE. ME. I like him that way though, mainly because perfect would be oh-so-Boring. (I'm yawning just thinking about it...seriously) He challenges me every. single. day.

I'm sure I do my share of challenging him as well. Correction...I KNOW I do. I'm not that easy to be with.

I feel like I've never had assurance in a relationship, accept from him ...in high school. (But does that count? hmmp)

With my ex-husband and two boyfriends, I didn't always have that. I didn't always have comfort, or the assurance of knowing that there is someone there on my side. My ex-husband was/is a good man, but he was gone most of the time. We married because we were pregnant and then he cheated on me. My major relationship after that was bi-polar, selfish, needy and chemically dependant on everything and anything that could stimulate his purpose (which I'm not fully sure he ever came to realize). I tried to help him; Turns out I should've left the fixing to the professionals.

Finally, the police officer was horrible with money, a bad pet owner and needed approval from everybody that he came in contact with. He was not for me, obviously.

All that being said, I am flawed. I have baggage, but what 30 year old woman doesn't these days?

I cling abnormally to what people tell me they will do, particularly my poor boyfriend. It could be something as small as picking up a towel, be assured if he promised to do it...AND did'nt... I take notice.

Isn't love grand? ha ha

Conversations With My Brother

My youngest brother and his family moved away so he could pursue his Pro golf card. He's is about to spend the next year in Orlando to finish the process. He is the youngest of my three other siblings and I miss him and his family very much.

My brother: Hey! We'll be in town next week, can't wait to see you!

Me: I know you can't...I'm your favorite. lol

My brother: Some things never change, ha ha What's new with you, feels like I haven't talked to you in forever...

Me: Nothing, honestly. Same shiz, only I'm back taking classes.

My brother: Lame. Are you sure there is nothing new... it's been like.. two months since we talked.

Me: Yup. Well, ACTUALLY, there IS one thing.

My brother: What?!

Me: I got my period; that's pretty exciting

Ha ha I win!

Peace, Love and Lettuce

Today, Ada the guinea pig died. It was sad, she was sick and there was nothing we could do about it. Lame.

I wanted to post a picture or two of her for you, but my external hard drive housing just about EVERY picture from the past four years is NO-where to be found. It makes me crazy.

I digress.

THIS is the link to a post in April I did for the pigs.

Farewell Ms. Ada Pig, peace, love and lettuce.

Halloween 2010

Here are some pictures from Halloween night. Cierra's flower costume turned out perfect! She was wearing gigantic fake eye lashes, urban decay primer potion, and MAC eye color/ liquid liner. I sewed the knotted yard onto her green shirt and then sewed the leaves on, so it would look like a stem!
To top it off, I stuck fake grass into her uggs.!


I was Flo, the Progressive girl. ha ha



These guys were parked in front of their house with a smoke machine and old school saloon music. It was soo cool. Cierra wouldn't get candy, nor would I FOR her. (BUT I sure as hell took a picture!) I love our neighborhood! ;)



This family moved in this summer. We see this dog all around Dundee. Now we know where he lives! I think next year, they should paint him red so he could go as Clifford the Big Red Dog!
