Ramblings of a Young Mama

Wow, it's been almost a year!

2011-01-26T12:27:00.004-05:00

I just made some yummy peanut butter fudge, and thought I'd share the recipe!

1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk, I just like to use cream)
1 cup peanut butter (I prefer Reese's!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar

1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
4. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
5. Pour into an 8x8 inch dish. Chill until firm and cut into squares.

It's yumm-oh! And a helpful hint, if you have some wax paper, line your pan with it first and then it comes out super easy and just peels off the wax paper!

A Grand New Year

2010-02-14T15:58:00.003-05:00

This year has been nothing but great so far.. Justin is completely out of the picture I think.. He hasn't been here, or tried to contact me since he came with the cops to get the last of his stuff.. It's a great relief.. I've found someone new to keep my attention. I love it. He's great! Keegan likes him, and he is good with him.... His boys love me and I love them.... Alls good :] I'll keep ya posted on that ;)

Keegan is growing like a weed! We are potty training and it's an up and down process! He's doing great at day care.... Hasn't really been having any accidents there, it's just tackling the at home accidents.... We will get there :) He also just had his first haircut about three weeks ago.... He doesn't even look like the same kid! It's crazy! I miss his hair, but well that's part of letting go of him being a baby! He's my big boy now.... I can't believe I have a running, crazy, rotten two year old!

I love my job! I love the kids! I can't imagine doing anything else! All in all.... Things are good :)

Something has to give!

2009-12-06T13:55:00.002-05:00

My emotions are yet again at a breaking point. From all of the mess that is my break-up with Justin to trying to figure out how to get out of the hole he has point me in financially. I feel like I get one step forward just to be knocked back four steps. I'm not sure how much more I can take. I'm trying my damnedest to be strong and believe that God doesn't give you more than you can handle, but I mean really can't he test someone else. I just need a break. Something has to give. Being the holiday season I think everyone is struggling. But I just feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water. All because he's a lying bastard that didn't feel he needed to pay the bills that HE was supposed to pay. Seriously you are 26 and you don't feel the need to be responsible. I guess that's why you were single when I got with you. Had I had known that I would go from having ONE son to TWO I would have never came here with him. I guess you live and learn. I now have a job that I absolutely LOVE, and a place to call my own. Granted I am struggling, really struggling, right now trying to play catch up (and pay everything needed in the current time) because of him, but I believe I will come out of this on top. It's just going to be rough and right now I'm not sure how it's going to happen but it will. Maybe I should play the lottery. Gosh, it will help if I could hit it, but really that's not practical. How I wish it was though. Having all of this idle time is doing nothing but giving me more time to think about everything. They say idle hands are the devil's playground and really I believe that idle time is the devil's time, as well. The more time I sit here alone the more I think and the sadder I get about it all. I'm thankful to have a healthy, gorgeous son and a job, but really I need something else to give. I'm doing my best to provide the best life possible for my son and I feel like I'm just being spit in the face for trying to do it on my own. I really need a break.

I'm beyond excited to go home to see my family and friends in a little less than two weeks, but I know that when I come back I'm going to struggle more than I am now. Taking two days off work is going to put me back 18 hours of pay. That's devastating that it comes to me seeing my family and friends for Christmas or being able to make all my bills. It shouldn't be this way. I wish that he wouldn't have put me in this position. Really. I don't know what to do.

Something really has to give.

So maybe..

2009-10-03T23:00:00.008-04:00

Friday Fill-Ins #140

2009-09-03T22:53:00.004-04:00

I know I know it's been a WHILE! a loooong while..

1. I feel tired.

2. Photoshop is always fun. (well almost always)

3. Right now, I can hear these things: Everybody Loves Raymond, the a/c and my laptop keys.

4. I can smile and I'm glad that is possible.

5. The last time I saw my mommy was the weekend after my birthday & I miss her sooo much.

6. Relaxation is in order for this Labor day weekend.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to computer time, tomorrow my plans include nothing really, sitting on the couch & watching college football with Justin and Sunday, I want to do the laundry!

What? An update?

2009-05-30T21:08:00.004-04:00

I'm going to attempt to update this today. It's been quite a few weeks. Where do I begin? I hate my 'so-called-job'. They haven't given me hours in well, almost a month. Yes you read that right? I had 4 1/2 hours this past Sunday & the only reason I had those was because I called in. :| I need a new job. I've put in application after application, but nothing seems to be coming thru. :( hmph.

Keegan is really sick. He has projectile puked on me two days in a row. Now it's only been one time yesterday and one time today, but I feel so bad for him. :( I just wish he felt a little better. We're doing Pedialyte & crackers. and that's a struggle, because well Keegan HATES Pedialyte. I mean he refuses to drink it! So I've been attempting to mix it with juice per his pediatrician's suggestion. I hope this virus passes soon!

Justin is doing great in school! He got a 100 on his last test & made the Director's List for his Marine Theory 1 & 2 Courses. He's tickled pink. I'm so very proud of him! He has a 4.0 too! ;) I was so afraid that we were going to get down here and he was going to let being back in this big city get to his head and party away this education, but he's done much better than I had originally thought! He's working his booty off studying and working all week! He deserves these achievements! I'm so proud of him! (I think I already said that but oh well :P)

On to more me I guess. I have a very big, exciting birthday coming up! ;) in 17 days! & even more exciting, my mom is coming to visit the weekend after my birthday! I can't wait to see her! It will be a little over 3 months since I've seen her! I can't wait! I've been CT'ing for Mandy {but of course}, Robyn {from Chubby Cheeks aka Robyn's Chic Scraps} and now Robyn from Scrapper Girl Designs! I'm loving it! Check out my Squishy Scraps Blog to view some of the goodness ;) I guess that's all for now! I'm so stinkin' beat!

Until next time,

5. Well, first of all I think I love digi-scrap goodness.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to digi-scrapping, tomorrow my plans include cleaning out my car & spending time with my hunny bunn and Sunday, I want to maybe go to a park!

And...here we go!

1. If we had no winter the world would be hot all year round (Oh wait, Florida is hot all year 'round :| - I miss Virginia!).

2. Life is a perpetual astonishment.

3. If I had my life to live over I wouldn't because everything happens for a reason.

4. I'm mama inside of four and twenty hours.

5. If you've never been thrilled ride a rollercoaster.

6. To be interested in the changing seasons you need to experience them & live where you get SNOW.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to scrapping with Mandy's new kit, tomorrow my plans include the boat show in Daytona with Squishy & Munchkin Butt and Sunday, I want to relax, but I have lots o laundry!

Until next time,

Mother's Day in Clearwater

2009-05-12T16:42:00.006-04:00

I had an awesome day. I love my honey! He got me a sweet card and then preceded to tell me how hard it was to find a mother's day card from a boyfriend. LOL. He's a nerd! We had seafood for lunch, and it was delicious! I looooove shrimp! Here's the view from the restaurant we ate at & really this picture doesn't do it justice! It was such a beautiful day! {Click to get it bigger ;)}

Keegan had a ball in the water. It was our first time to the Gulf and I'm not sure I'm going to want to ever get in any other body of water again. It was so warm and so clear! I was really surprised by it! On that note it was also the saltiest water I've ever been in. lol. Here's some more pics! No laughing :|

[ He's trying to be independent! ]

[ LOL - see the sand flying! ]

[ i love this <3 ]

[ :) he's such a sweetie! ]

[ sooo purty ]

Needless to say, it was the best time we've had in a long time out. :) On that note that's all for now!

Look-alike

2009-04-24T13:12:00.005-04:00

I did this thing once before when Keegan was rather young, only a few months I think, and it told me that he look equally like the both of us, and well I was really upset. I guess I knew he looked like him I just didn't want to see it since I was the only one raising him. KWIM? I was looking through old myspace blogs and saw it so I decided to give another go and, YAY! :) Here it is.

Needless to say I'm tickled pink about that & wanted to share!

Until next time,

My Squishy Scraps Blog..

2009-04-10T22:16:00.004-04:00

Is up and running.. Check it out and follow me! ;) I've been trying to upload my new freebie for literally two days! and well, I've come to the conclusion that my computer hates me! I really am trying! My new blog design was made with my mini kit, called Springtime Fever, if you want a little sneak peak ;) Well all except the background, that came from my Hello Sunshine Papers!

Anywho, http://squishyscraps.blogspot.com ! ;) The home for all of my new freebies, and scrappy goodness, so this one can get back to being my personal blog - so to speak! Hope to see you there!!

Until next time,

A real update, so to speak!

2009-04-10T00:25:00.006-04:00

Where do I even begin? I miss my mom. A lot. I never in a million years imagined myself being 16-18 hours away from her. I have been webcamming with her so she can me and the baby and we can see her and well it sucks! We probably won't be going home until around Christmas time. I'm hoping to see my family before then. But it probably won't happen. I really miss home and everyone there. I just keep telling myself, we're doing this to better our lives together. We're doing this to give Keegan a good life. I truly believe this. But in that same sense, it doesn't mean that it isn't hard. :(

On another note, our apartment is pretty spacious and comfortable. I'm pretty close to unpacked completely. There's just a few keepsake boxes left to go through and sort out. I'm hoping to accomplish that soon, but we will see I guess.

Keegan is growing too fast. 17 months already. He knows where his nose is now! It's sooooo cute! but he's a becoming major PITA a lot now too. I guess I can blame that on the "Terrible Twos" beginning! Any pointers from you experienced moms on how to deal with him hitting and biting things? Since this is a new found habit. He doesn't bite me or anyone else, just things. (like the couch and my phone) It's rather annoying to say the least. I dunno..

Justin loves school. I'm so glad too. He likes his job too. Now if only my job didn't act like they were going to give me hours and actually did give me hours we'd be fine. GRRR. It makes me so mad. I came here expecting nearly full time hours and I get my first shift not for when I got here, like it was supposed to be 3 weeks ago, but for this coming Saturday and it's a whooping 4 hours! ARE YOU SERIOUS! That's such a waste of time. :| It's irritating. So I'm looking for a new job! Anyone got any ideas?

I'm loving designing scrap stuff again! I'm working on transferring it all out of my personal blog and into one for just Squishy Scraps, but well I'm just too lazy to make the template :P I will though! One day ;)

On that note, what do you all think about how I'm doing? I'd really love to know as I'm nervous as all get out about it. I like to think I'm doing ok for a beginner, but then again I'm kinda bias :D I guess that's all for now!

Until next time,

Funky Polka Anyone?

2009-04-05T23:00:00.005-04:00

I told you I'd be back with a new freebie! I just love polka dots! But ya know I'm not really sure why! Anywho.. Here's 12 papers, lightly textured and with 4 different sizes of polka dots. I hope you like 'em as much as I do!

:) I'm excited on this journey I've started again! I will do elements it's just a matter of mastering one thing at a time ;) I'd love to know what you think about my papers and if there's a color scheme or idea that you'd like to see!

Since I've made you read all the way to the end there are 2 downloads. You can find them here and here. I've used Dropbox, because 4shared was being annoying, AGAIN! lol!

I'm also in the mix of making a new logo type thing and packaging so I may have those on the next freebie! Enjoy :)

EDITED TO ADD:
Here's the my NEW packaging on this product WDYT?

[ Click to view bigger! ]

I'll have this preview zipped with the papers soon! :) Like the new better than the old? I think it's much better.. Let me know your opinions.. I'm also in the mix of uploading a new freebie as I type this ;) so watch out for it in the next day or so!

Until next time,

Introducing Squishy Scraps ;D

2009-04-03T04:00:00.009-04:00

Well, my little surprise is out of the box. I've decided to get back into making scrappy stuff again and, I've teamed up with my bestie Mandy from Super Mom Scraps to bring you this little ole mini kit called 'Hello Sunshine' ;) I did the papers and she did the alpha & elements! You can find her post here! This is my first attempt at dabbling in scraps in a little over a year so there's only 6 papers but I like to think they are great! I would love to hear what you have to think :)

Here is the portion of it that you will get when you go to her blog!

[ Click to get a better look! ]

& here's my preview. ;)

[ Click to get a better look! ]

Now this was supposed to be up around midnight, but I've had the worst time uploading to a sharing site so .. yea! But, you can find my paper download {here}!

PLEASE let me know if there are any problems downloading.

Also, if you have any questions, problems, concerns, etc., you can just leave me a comment, I'd adore them anyhow! *wink, wink*

Again I'd loooove to know what you think about my portion to this collab :) It could equal some more freebies in the near future ;D

Also, what do you think of my logo? Love it? Hate it? Lemme know your thoughts!

P.S. I should have my blog for Squishy Scraps up and running soon, but you'll just have to bear with me on that! I guess that's all for now ;D

Until next time,

I am..

2009-04-01T11:51:00.003-04:00

You Are Facebook

You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends.

You are interested in your friends' lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix.

While you enjoy sharing online, you don't want everyone to know your business.

You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

Which is really rather funny, since that's the one I use the least ;)

On another note I'm in cahoots with Mandy for a little surprise! I'm kinda nervous about it, but also super super excited! This could be the beginning of something fun! So keep your eyes open for that in the next day or two ;)

Until next time,

Friday Fill-Ins #117

2009-03-26T22:43:00.003-04:00

Here's my weekly ritual..

1. "In a hole in the ground there lived Mr. Squirrel."

2. "I'm just a girl in this twisted world but that ain't no matter."

3. "After dark the rain began to fall again, on this gloomy day."

4. "Break away from the hold of the Spanish galleon."

5. "There was a hand in the darkness, and it tried to pull me in."

6. "Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, and well that's the story of my life."

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to absolutely nothing, tomorrow my plans include spending time with Justin until he has to go to work and Sunday, I want to get some of these goals around this place accomplished!

Until next time,

Candidly Huh?

2009-03-25T16:59:00.001-04:00

I found this on Mandy's blog and thought I'd give it a go..

You Live Your Live Candidly

You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.

You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations.

You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many acquaintances.

You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

How Do You Live Your Life?

..sounds about right! ;)

Until next time,

2009-03-19T21:57:00.004-04:00

I have a ton of things to blog about but no where near the time to do it! I'm working on some schoolwork and trying to still get settled in to our apartment! I will update soon :) But for now..

..here we go!

1. Why do we have to deal with cranky people?

2. Old quirks are now habits.

3. I have never seen someone complain about something so stupid.

4. I had never heard the phrase "woah" and it make me smile so immensely.

5. I'll do it by myself, the way I always do.

6. How [w]as I to know life is a work in progress?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hopefully relaxing & watching a movie, tomorrow my plans include being out and about and familiarizing myself a little more with this big 'ol city and/or going to Tampa and Sunday, I want to work on my schoolwork!

Until next time,

Friday Fill-Ins #115

2009-03-12T20:19:00.003-04:00

Woo-Hoo a couple hours early this week!

1. When I look to the left, I see my wall.

2. The living room is the room that has the best view in my home.

3. Let it work itself out.

4. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap!

5. Bathing is a responsibility that all qualified citizens must share.

6. If you have any comments feel free to share the love.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to spending time with friends, tomorrow my plans include packing the moving truck & resting up and Sunday, I want to relax and then head south to our new beginning!

Until next time,

Some time to blog..

2009-03-12T19:45:00.004-04:00

So it's really been a while since I have sat down and blogged. I have a little bit of free time so here goes :)

The last few weeks have been CRAZY! Between packing, sorting, school, work and everything else under the sun I'm lucky to even have my mind! I'm just about done packing! I've got some sheets and what not to wash up, some clothes to box up, and Keegan's toys to pack and then I'm done. It's really surreal to me still I think. In 3 days I'll be heading 1000+ miles south to a new beginning! Excitement, Nervousness, Wonder, Scared, Nausea, Anxiety, Curious, Overwhelmed are some among many other feelings that are going through me right now. I feel in my heart that everything will be ok. It's just this initial move I think that has my guts in a pretzel shape at the moment.

I've really been slacking on my school work because of this move. There's just been so much to do. I know I shouldn't be slacking on something so important, but on that same note, Keegan and being done with everything are really important. I hope everything will be ok will school and my grades will be back up.

I worked for the last time up here yesterday. I can't really believe it. Like wow, next week I'll have new co-workers! That's nerve-wrecking all in itself since I have no clue what the people are like down there. Most everyone is welcoming, waves to you and has random chit chat with people they don't even know up here. I live in a pretty country small area. I love it! I'm moving to a big city - eh, not so sure I'm going to like it. I guess we'll see!

Keegan is being a little poop-head lately. I guess I can blame it on "Terrible Twos" beginning. He's 16 months now and boy oh boy does he like to throw some temper tantrums! GRRRR! He drives me NUTS-O sometimes! As if I'm not crazy enough already ;))

Justin and I are doing well for the circumstances. I'm stressed out and we are bickering a little because I keep snapping on him. It'll be fine once this move is done and all. I'm so stressed about the drive down and getting everything moved in by ourselves. I just keep telling myself we'll be ok. Everything will go off without a hitch. Or that's how it happens in a perfect world anyway! [ please note this is NOT a perfect world! ]

I REALLY miss designing! I just don't have the time or the creativity these days! My lovely bestie Mandy has also propositioned me to team up with her and create some scraps. That could be in the works once I'm settled in, in Florida. [ keep your eyes open for that ;) ] I did do a paid siggy this week and a few blinkies with the little bit of spare online time that I've had. They turned out pretty good!

Alright, Backyardigans is on and Keegan is wanting to snuggle me and watch them so that's all for now!

Until next time,

Friday Fill-Ins #114

2009-03-11T13:42:00.004-04:00

So I'm like days late, but I still wanna add it while I have a chance ;)

And...here we go!

1. Cleaning Brandi's living room was my last random act of kindness.

2. Another place is where I shall be.

3. Honesty matters in matters of the heart.

4. Coffee, tea or kool-aid.

5. Sometimes we are on separate paths.

6. Our life reminds me that there is love.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with Cathy & Dave, tomorrow my plans include pictures and my girls day and Sunday, I want to RELAX, before I have to PACK PACK PACK some more!

Until next time,

Until next time,

Where did the time go?

2009-03-02T16:26:00.002-05:00

Is it really March 2nd? Where did January and February go? I feel like it was just yesterday we were sitting on my couch bringing in the new year! Hmmm.. So I'm struggling a lot with school. I'm just trying to do a million things at once. With this move less than 2 weeks away it's truly crunch time and I still have so much stuff left to do. I'm not sure where to even start :|

On to something happier for a bit, Keegan is growing like a weed. He seems to learn a new word, or understand something new like everyday! It's amazing. I can't believe this time two years ago I had just found out I was pregnant. Where oh where does it all go? I'm glad I've taken so many pictures.

Justin and I are doing great. The only thing left to finish this puzzle right now, is a queen mattress. I mean, we can use the futon if we need to for now, but we'd really like a mattress for the box springs we already have. I guess we'll just wait and see.

I need to make something to eat. I'm starving!

Until next time,

Friday Fill-Ins #112 & #113

2009-02-27T16:36:00.003-05:00

2. Whenever I'm with my son I'm happy.

3. I wish life were simpler.

4. Lasagna was the last thing I ate that was utterly delicious.

6. Other than this one, Mandy is the last blog I commented on.

I'll omit number 7, because I can't remember what my plans were last weekend!

and this weeks Friday Fill-In!

#113

1. I'm sorting, I'm packing, I want someone else to do it!

2. Why do I have a million things to do and not enough time.

3. How does this thing called life work, anyway?

4. Every morning, I put a shirt on my body.

5. I consider myself lucky because I have a gorgeous little boy.

6. One day we’ll see if the decisions we make are the right ones.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to laundry, oh the joy, tomorrow my plans include working til four and then picking Justin up and Sunday, I want to relax, but it's doubtful!

Until next time,

So I'm a Slacker..

2009-02-19T13:29:00.013-05:00

I know I know, I've been slacking my blog, so I'm going to try to make up for it now! THERE'S GOING TO BE AN OVERLOAD OF PICS IN THIS POST!

First, here's a great picture of my boo butt in Pop-Pop's hat & sunglasses!

(Click to make it bigger - it's straight from the camera)
It was adorable, he kept taking them off of Pop! Man we're going to miss them!

I had an awesome Valentine's Day! I got up and ready, went to get Justin, we drove down and rode the Metro into DC. We went to Chinatown and then to the Art Museum right there! It was an awesome day! Around 6ish we headed back to the Metro to come home. I guess it was after 8 when we got back to town! We then went to Castiglia's for our Valentine's Day dinner.. mmmmm, I looove Italian! Anywho, we are sitting there waiting for our salads to come and he puts this little box with purple wrapping paper & a white bow on the table! I was like OMG! So I slowly unwrapped it and found a ring box. I opened the ring box to find a 10K white gold ring with two stars and 1/4C of diamonds! I looove stars, so that's why he bought stars! It's so pretty. He then said. "This is a promise ring, so that you know I'm not going anywhere. I bought you diamonds because diamonds are forever!" The reason behind all of this I'm pretty sure has to do with our big move! and really I'm glad he did this because it reassures me a little more that he's still going to be here! I'd have pictures of it but my camera died at the end of the museum so {blah}!

Here's some pictures from the trip! (all are clickable & straight from the camera)

[ CHINATOWN ]

[ PRESIDENTIAL CUPCAKES, THEY WERE GIVING THEM OUT ]

[ PREAMBLE IN LICENSE PLATES ]

It was such a great day! Then on Sunday, we got Keegan back and went to Hagerstown to do a little shopping for our apartment! Just our little family :) !! We got our dishes, glasses, silverware, shower stuff, and some other miscellaneous things! It's coming up on us super quick! Well I guess that's about it for now!

Until next time,

Disturbing..

2009-02-17T11:16:00.003-05:00

I'll blog later with my Valentine's Day stuff and a little bit of just updates, but I was reading on my mommy boards today and found this! I thought it needed to be shared.

2009-02-13T15:12:00.003-05:00

1. It seems like this day will never end.

2. Clean up when you're done, please?

3. If I thought you were in trouble I'd come running!

4. Happiness is what I think of most when I think of you.

5. To me, Valentine's Day means another day for love.

6. Faith gives me strength.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to coming home from work, tomorrow my plans include spending all day with Justin and Sunday, I want to relax with both of my boys!

Until next time,

the Ferocious Beast ;)

2009-02-11T13:37:00.006-05:00

Maggie and the Ferocious Beast is on and Keegan is standing on his train dancing! lol, but anyway!

Monday night I went and got Justin after work, just so I could see him. I hate that we are both working so much, but in the same way it's good because we need the money for the move. Speaking of the move, I added a little something to my sidebar it! I guess I'm very nervous, to say the least, about it.

Last night I had to work from 6-10. We were busy, but not really. We were only busy because there is usually three or four of us and it was just me and another associate on the floor. :|

I'm such a procrastinator, I'm here, on the computer instead of cleaning up. Ugh, i just don't want to do it. I don't know, but Keegan wants food now so I'll BBL!

Until next time,

Sleepy Mama

2009-02-09T10:10:00.002-05:00

So I got my final grade for ENG 101 last night, & drum roll please, it was an A- as well. I got 242/250 on my final essay. Not too bad! I'm very happy with it! So my cumulative GPA is a 3.67 so far. I'm good for that. They could have both been A's instead of A-'s but hey whatever they are still A's and isn't that all that matters ;)

I worked last night til 2am. I'm kinda sad, they are doing away with the shift I'm used to working on Thursday, I'm going to miss most of my regular crew! It'll be okay though. I like the other people I work with too! ( well most of them {hehe} :D )

Justin & I are still waiting to hear from the apartment place. We sent them money an entire week ago, WTH?! We should have heard something by now. KWIM? I guess we'll wait and see if he calls today. The apartment is pretty much the final piece to the puzzle. I'm becoming more and more nervous each day that it gets closer to that big move. :( I really don't want to move away from my family, or take Keegan away from them for that matter. On that same note though, we are trying to be a family ourselves and this is why I am going.

I forgot to add Keegan's vitals in the last bloggity blog. As of Friday at the doctor's check up. He weighed 24 pounds 10 ounces and he's 32 1/2 inches tall! Where did my baby go? He's now a running big boy!! :( The doctor said he was ahead of schedule with everything and since he's only 15 months I was glad to know he was progressing well. He also said he was a very "proper" child. LOL, he is not proper, he just behaves at the doctor's office!! I dunno, I guess that's all for now.

Until next time,

Just a bloggin'

2009-02-07T15:53:00.003-05:00

Hmm, lets see where to begin? Let's see

1. I got an A- for my final grade in my GEN 105 class! I passed the final with 250/250 points!! :) I'm still waiting for my ENG 101 final grade! I'm sure I did great!

2. Keegan has been sick all week. We went to the doctor on Wednesday; Double Ear Infection & Upper Respiratory! YUCK!! We get a five day anti-biotic to treat both in one. Friday he had a check-up for his last set of shots until he's 5. We go thinking they won't do the shots because he's sick, but.... his ears were very much cleared up and his lungs sounded a lot better. I was soo happy. So he got a combo shot, and his chicken pox vaccine! I'm glad he's up to date and I don't have to worry about shots for a while ;)

3. Justin is icky sicky too. He has been for a week or so and I feel bad for him. Shit, everyone around here has been sick except me! On the subject of Justin, I took him home on Wednesday and I'm not going to see him again until, get this, NEXT WEEKEND! We both have to work this week :( Hopefully Friday I can get him, but if not, we'll definitely be together on Saturday, you know since it's Valentine's Day at all! {insert sappy awwwww here}

4. I have no creativity lately. It sucks! I really wanna make something! It took me like 12 tries just to make an avatar the other day :|

5. I'm still putting off my laundry! I really need to do it. It's seriously overwhelming though! I guess that's all for right now.

Until next time,

The Rules of Man (ha ha)

2009-02-06T21:49:00.002-05:00

I was looking over my myspace blog and happened to come across this and started laughing at it yet again! It's something else! So off with..

RULES OF MAN

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
2. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
3. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
4. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
5. Crying is blackmail.
6. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
7. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
8. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
9. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
10. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
11. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
12. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
13. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one
14. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
15. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
16. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
17. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color . Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
18. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
19. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.
20. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
21. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .
22. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.
23. You have enough clothes.
24. You have too many shoes.
25. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
& lastly 26. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Until next time,

Friday Fill-In #110

2009-02-06T11:48:00.002-05:00

1. Please don't tell me that I can't do something.

2. Can you function in the morning?

3. The color orange makes me want to put on my sunglasses!

4. I have a craving for pineapple.

5. If my life had a pause button, I'd pause it while Keegan was snuggling me.

6. Eyes are the entrance to the soul.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to catching up on schoolwork, tomorrow my plans include laundry and Sunday, I want to be able to design a bit!

Until next time,

Funny Funny Stuff!

2009-02-05T17:24:00.004-05:00

Ok, this is one of the funniest videos I've seen in a LOOOONG time! But beware, some the "products" are adult related! ;)

Until next time,

I was tagged, TWICE!

LOL, it's been a long day and I never really primp anymore anyway! Here's two pics! One that's a little more my typical kissy pic & one smiling! Disregard the fact that these are with my webcam, I'm too lazy to go upstairs for the digital camera ;)

There you have it. Me after a long day ;)

My five people are Jennifer, Joy, Robyn, Mary, & Jolene.

Until next time,

It's Yet Another Monday!

2009-02-02T13:02:00.003-05:00

UGH! So my mom is still in the hospital. I'm really worried about her. She was getting better, no puking and a lot less pain in her stomach on Saturday. and then yesterday she got worse. I won't go into the gross details, but let's just say she was definitely puking again.

I had a really hard time leaving Keegan with Melissa (my friend Amber's mom) last night, because on my way down her road Keegan began puking everywhere! I got him to her house, threw everything in the washer and bathed him. I stayed for an hour and a helf to make sure he was ok enough for me to leave for work. He was running around and playing with Jacob (Amber's son). So I figured it was ok for me to leave him.

Work was long last night & tonight is going to be long too, that is if I can find a babysitter. We have 37,000 scheduled mark downs to do between yesterday and today. HOLY MOLY right?! I guess it makes sense tho. They are prepping for the *new* spring merchandise.

I have an appointment to go tomorrow to do my taxes at 2. I'll be so glad when they are done. Then we will know exactly how much money we're going to have for this move!

I miss Justin. He will hopefully be here tomorrow. I'd really like to have him here tonight to watch the baby so I can go to work. But I guess that'll depend on if I can find someone else to watch him tonight. Really I'm hoping my brother's dad will keep him. I have both extra babies tomorrow. So not looking forward to that, but it's a money thing.

I guess that is all for now!

Until next time,

My February Desktop

2009-02-01T03:27:00.003-05:00

Until next time,

2009-02-01T02:18:00.003-05:00

I decided yesterday that I need a new blog layout, ;) and well seriously 7 hours later I have one! I have had absolutely no creative juices today, that is why it took me so damn long to do. So what do you think? ( You can find the credits at the bottom :} )

Let me know guys!!

Until next time,

Just a lost soul in this path called LIFE

2009-01-31T21:50:00.006-05:00

I have finished both of my finals and turned them in [a day early, go me!]. That's a little weight lifted off of my shoulders. I start my second block of classes on Monday. I'm kinda nervous. I wonder what my new professors are going to be like? One is a man and one is a woman, that is all I know so far. I really like my current ENG 101 professor. I hope they are like her. lol. what are the chances right? My next two classes are CIS 105 - SURVEY OF COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS & ENG 102 - RESEARCH WRITING! Hmmm, the computer class shouldn't be too bad & English, well it's English class! :P I printed both of the calendars and what not, but I haven't had a chance to look over them yet.

On another note, my mom is still in the hospital. She has been really sick for almost a week with an infection in her intestines. and get this, the doctors can't tell her how it got there! She's kept the first day's worth of chicken broth down since Monday yesterday. She hadn't eaten anything, because she was puking so much. I'm just hoping she can come home from the hospital soon. We'll see.

Keegan didn't take a nap all day long, so I guess at around 5:20 when my brother and every left, he just passed out until like 20 til 7. Which sucks! But he wouldn't stay awake. So now here it is after 10 'o clock and he's still awake playing! I'm just having a very blah day today. I worked on school work all day and now I just wanna relax, but I have a 15 month old running old. Well he'll be 15 months old tomorrow. Whatever! Same difference!

Off to creativity, or rather my lack there of. I just really don't have any creative juices flowing! I owe my darling Mandy and few things and I feel horrible that I haven't gotten to them yet. :(

On a more exciting note! Me and Justin were approved for an apartment today, pending the background check, but we're not worried about the background check! The leaser? gave us all of the paper work to send him our security deposit so that's pretty promising ;) Isn't that super exciting! So now, we have one more step to our big move to Florida pretty much completed! I have so many mixed feelings on this. It's becoming crunch time. We have something like 6 weeks maybe? I'm very nervous, since I've never lived anywhere but this 20 mile span around here, and now we're moving literally 1,000 miles out of my comfort zone. We will see what happens! It'll be an adventure! I guess that's all for now

Until next time,

Queen of Procrastination Here

2009-01-30T22:30:00.004-05:00

It has quickly become the end of my block of classes and my finals are due on Sunday. Keep in mind that I've known about these finals since 2 days before my classes started, when I downloaded the syllabus and calendar! I know that these finals are 250 of the 1000 points for these classes, and I am doing what, blogging and YIM'ing with Mandy! Yeah, I don't even know where to start. ERRRRR.. As a matter of fact, I haven't even started one of them! The other is half way done! THANK GOD! I don't think I could do both of them in these two days. I have to have them turned in before I leave for work on Sunday, because when I get off it will be too late to turn them in. So that leaves like less than 48 hours.

Totally off topic, but my adorable little Keega-butt is laying on the floor all spread out, ridiculously cute! He looks like a little angel when he's sleeping, but oh no, he's a rotten little demon toddler! LOL! ;))

Anywho, back to these finals. I need to get to them, so I'll be back later! [ hopefully with news of finished assignments ;) ]

Until next time,

On another note the Sweet Shoppe From Our Blog to Yours this week, is about cupcakes! Mmmm, I looove cupcakes!!

WHAT A DAY!

2009-01-22T23:41:00.005-05:00

First of all let me warn whomever might read this, I'm about to rant off! If you get upset or offended easily do not read this post!!

I've been on edge for a few days because I've had two extra teething babies in addition to my teething toddler!! and well, when one of the babies starts crying the other one does and they squeal and scream. It's rather loud and causes me to have a headache. I spent Tuesday through this morning with Justin. Which should have been awesome, but only Tuesday night was, yesterday and today were crazy hectic! Tuesday we cuddled up and watched a movie and then snuggled in bed! It was nice. It has been a while since we've gotten to just relax and snuggle!

On another note, everyone has been on their f*ing periods or something around here because I swear people don't know how to be pleasant. They're either screaming or being snippy. I'm so tired of it! I'm a human being, a woman, among many other things as well. SO WHAT THE HELL MAKES PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN BE ASSHOLES TO ME!! I'm so tired of everyone taking their damn annoyance or anger or whatever the hell it is that's bugging them out on me!! Seriously WTH guys? And another thing. My schoolwork is paying because I can't concentrate to do it 100% and that's pretty f*ing important! I can't support my son with ease without that degree! Is it really that hard to keep after their grandchild long enough for me to put an un-interrupted hour of schoolwork in? NO, they can't do that because that would be too difficult, they worked all day! Whoopty Do! I usually have 3 children 14 months and younger, (mine being the oldest at 14 months), for at least 9 hours a day during the week, a part time job, and I'm working toward getting a degree in school!

And another thing! WTH possesses people to be rude about something they are getting for free!? We have lives, children, husbands, other jobs, PAYING customers, housework, schoolwork, and whatever else we do with our lives. So what makes people think they need to be rude to us when they've only been waiting less than a week! I'm sorry that some of our designers are having computer or real life problems right now. Don't be a rude little ass because you feel it took too long for someone to have the time to get to it! Go to another board and wait well over a week for it! With that said, I love those of you who are appreciative! That's what makes me what to do this for everyone for free.

I'm done my rant for now! I feel a little better getting it all out!

Until next time,

My Candy Heart

2009-01-21T20:36:00.003-05:00

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out.

Your heart is open to where ever love takes you!

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out

Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking

I jacked it from Mandy ;)

2009-01-20T13:40:00.001-05:00

Daffodil

What Flower

ETA: What a Daffodil is, for Mandy! LOL, I shoulda added it the first time!!

You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party. You don't need too much attention from the host once you get there as you are more than capable of making yourself seen and heard.

Until next time,

You Know You're From Virginia When..

2009-01-18T10:38:00.002-05:00

Speed limits are just suggestions

You have at least two friends who have no idea what their relatives do...because its "top secret" government work

Most of your senior class wend to Mason, JMU, Tech, VCU or UVA

When people ask where you're from, you tell them DC because its easier to explain

You've never told someone you're from Virginia without putting "northern," "central," or "southern" in front of it (See above.)

It's not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you.

You know yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through. (Yeah, man...at least. Probably also happens everywhere else.) A red light means 2 more can.

You actually know what the black boxes at stoplights are for.

Despite the fact that Virginia fought for the south in the Civil War, you are not, under any circumstances, a "southerner"

You are amused by visiting relatives who are actually excited to see Washington, DC

You took a field trip to Williamsburg as a kid

You are amazed when you go out of town and the people at McDonalds speak English

You or someone in your family has a Smart Tag

An inch of snow and you miss 3 days of school

All the potholes just add a little excitement to your driving experience

Crown Victoria = undercover cop

Subway is a fast food place. The transportation system is known as Metro, and only Metro.

They just tore down the old farm house across the street and put 12 new McMansions in its place

For the cost of your house, you could own a small town in Iowa

If you stay on the same road long enough, it will eventually have three new names.

You have to dial the area code to call your neighbor

"Vacation" means spending a day at King's Dominion or Busch Gardens.

"Going to the River" means any stream with water.

You have never been served tea without the waitress asking "sweet or unsweetened?"

Your favorite past time is telling West Virginia jokes.

Anyone who can't trace his or her ancestry back to at least four generations in Virginia is an outsider.

"Going to the beach" means anywhere from Ocean City to Virginia Beach to Myrtle Beach.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Virginia.

--The really funny part about this is that all but like 2 or 3 are right on! LOL! Just thought I'd share!

Until next time,

My new layout!!

2009-01-17T16:31:00.002-05:00

FOBTY 1/15

2009-01-16T17:48:00.003-05:00

This intrigued me ;). I just love Sweet Shoppe! I used to buy anything I wanted, but since I became a mama, my priorities changed! lol, that was to be expected, anywho, here's what I got!

You Are a Discount Shopper

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales.

It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal.

Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices.

Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Until next time,

2009-01-16T17:09:00.007-05:00

I figured I would try something new! I was browsing blogs & saw this on Danita's and figured I'd give it a go.

1. Enough with the cold weather.

2. Money or the lack there of causes me to be conflicted.

3. I've been craving pineapples & gatorade.

4. Keegan makes me laugh.

5. I wish I could go to get a new tattoo next week.

6. The big move has been on my mind lately.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting off of work, tomorrow my plans include designing, schoolwork, & laundry and Sunday, I want to make something creative for myself!

Until next time,

Is he the right one?

2009-01-09T17:44:00.010-05:00

I've been trying to make my mood better today, but it just isn't happening. Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had. I'm not going into details. So in light of trying to cheer myself up some way, some how, I figured I saw this quiz, I should take it. I love him. Let's see what it says.

Is he the right one? Your Score: 90%

Right one? He is not only the right one he is perfect. Do not loose him take care of him! I see a good future ahead.

Take this quiz at MyHotComments.com

Not too bad I guess ;)

Insomnia & My Life..

2009-01-07T02:13:00.003-05:00

Where do I even begin? I guess with the fact that it's after 2am and I'm still awake. Not designing, or even doing anything productive, just basically reclining on the couch thinking, listening to Sports Center. Yes, Sports Center! What else is there on TV this time of the night except porn & infomercials? Keegan is tossing and turning. Man, I really hope he doesn't get up! I'll never get him back to sleep. Anyway, I think I'm good he looked up, grabbed the bink, and laid back down.

Justin went home today. Obviously right? Since I'm awake in the middle of the night, for no apparent reason. We had a great couple of days while he was here. We did some apartment hunting for the big move. I think we decided on a complex called Chelsea Park. So now it's just a matter of getting everything finished up except the actual lease signing! I'm super nervous about this move. I've never lived anywhere outside of this 25 mile country radius before, so moving like 1,000 miles out of my comfort zone worries me. I know that I'll be with him and Keegan, but it's going to be hard for me not to have my family close. His first day of class at MMI is April 6th. So that means we need to be down there at least 3 weeks in advance, so that we have time to get settled in & he has time to get settled in to a job before school starts. I still have to figure out which Kohl's I want to transfer too. I guess whichever one is closest to the apartment we end up at.

So everyone makes New Year Resolutions right? I hadn't really thought about it until I was reading the Sweet Shoppe Blog the other day. I really need to get this extra weight off. I have just been lazy with it since I had Keegan. Definitely to lose the 15 or so pounds to get me back to a comfy weight. Another resolution, is to put more time into my schoolwork. It's very important and I definitely don't put enough time or effort into it. Finally, I need to go to Florida with an open mind! After all, if nothing else, it will definitely be a life experience! & I'll get to finally meet my online bestie Mandy. I think there will be something around 100 miles between us. and heck that's not too bad! We'll see!!

Until next time,

How funny..

2009-01-04T11:59:00.005-05:00

2009-01-04T11:31:00.005-05:00

How glad I am to say Good Riddance to 2008. I'm hoping 2009 brings a lot better luck! I brought in the new year with a kiss on Justin's forehead, because he was passed out. Not exactly how I planned it, but it'll work. Keegan is growing faster than ever has 2 of his back teeth now, so that makes 10 total. Where did the time go? My baby is a toddler. A growing, running, screaming, pointing toddler. WOW! What happened to the time? Today is the last day of my winter break from school. Back to schoolwork. It sucks, but I know in the end it's all going to be worth it. I guess that's all I have for right now.

Until next time,

It was a 750 word essay on mastering a skill. *barf* Our winter break is 12/22/2008 to 01/04/2009. OMG 2009!! Where did this year go? I'm watching my redskins play right now, they aren't playing their best, but they certainly are playing better than they have been!! right now the score is 10-3 Redskins over Eagles :)

LET'S GO REDSKINS!!

I bought Keegan some stuff, my Pop Pop some shirts, and my grandma some au natural whipped Cocoa Butter. Other than that I have not bought anything. and ICK, Christmas is 13 days away! Totally CRAZY!! Where did this year go? I just finished my school assignment that was due today and now I'm anxiously awaiting 5 'o clock so April will be here to get Trenton. Then it's shower time, drop Keegan off with his Uncle, & then out with my love for a romantic night, since today will be the only time I've seen him this week and the only time until next Thursday :( DAMN WORK!! and then after that I won't see him until Christmas Eve at the earliest because I work 5 days in a row. I hate that we live 30 mins apart!! Enough ranting. I'm counting down the hours until Trenton goes bye bye.

Why God made moms

2008-12-02T14:30:00.002-05:00

Answers given by 6 year old school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the sticky tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?
1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot..
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between Moms & Dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and Dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but Moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

LOL, I thought I would share this. I just found it in my email, from quite some time ago.

Until next time,

Time for a blog

2008-12-01T02:50:00.005-05:00

Oh what a few weeks it has been. Where to begin?! For starters, I'm into week 3 of being back to school, and I think I'm doing pretty good so far. Wow, week 3, 6 more weeks and these 2 classes will be over and I'll be starting new ones. That's bizarre to me. I really love my one instructor, the other one, not so much. I guess that's how life goes though.

Keegan is growing up a storm. He's so cranky and icky right now though. We spent Friday night in the ER. His temperature was 102.9 when we got there, and before they gave him any medicine 3 hours later it was 103.8. My poor baby has a bad ear infection. I never knew it could cause his temperature to get that high from an ear infection.

I really should be sleeping. I just can't seem to fall asleep. I'm laying here thinking about making a new blog design, since I think it's pretty safe to say Justin isn't going anywhere. That makes me super happy. He's so great! and he's amazing with Keegan. Really that's the important one. Keegan just seems to really like him and that makes me glad.

Thanksgiving was wonderful. We got up early, got to my grandma's so that they could spend some time with the baby. Then of course my mom, and little brother came up a little before 1. We had dinner, and then pie. I guess around 3 or so we headed back down the mountain to go to Justin's so we could do thanksgiving there too. We relaxed for a little while, went back to my house and then mom watched the baby so that we could have the night to ourselves for some Thursday Night Football. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings, watched the game, and then came home and cuddled til we fell asleep. :)

On that note, oh the errands I have to run in the morning. I need to go to sleep.

Until next time,

Well this is interesting..

I wasn't too sure what to think about getting brown, but I love the meaning.

Your Inner Eye Color Is Brown

You're smart, thoughtful, and the ideal woman for most men

You are kind and easy to trust. Men open up to you like no one else.

It's this inner warmness that attracts guys - and makes you an instant soulmate.

What Color Eyed Woman Are You Really?

Until next time,

What color should my blog be....?

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.

You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey.

You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.

You're a Part Time Brainiac

No doubt about it, you have the potential for big brain power.

But potential doesn't get you to genius. It's going to take some work.

Like most smart people, you enjoy a good intellectual challenge every now and then.

But you do tend to shy away from anything difficult, frustrating, or complex.

Push yourself to think, learn, and explore more... even when it feels bad.

You have the capacity to solve amazingly difficult problems. You just need to let yourself do it.

Are You a Brainiac?

Until next time,

Hmm..

Well, let's try this again. My stupid ass browser just closed itself out. I've had a weird off day. Not sure how to explain it. I really want to design something, I can't seem to find the creative spark in me. :/ I feel very tired and run down and yet, I'm not really sure why. My day hasn't been overly busy. I only drove to m'burg to get Justin. and then we hung out with Cecilee and the boys . Bladen and Keegan tore into so much crap. lol. Well they are toddlers right. he he. Eli is growing so fast. I can't believe it. He's just a mini Bladen, but with brown hair. Now I'm watching Monday Night Football. Why? Well it's football, i guess, even if it is the Cardinals and 49ers. LMAO. I dunno. That's all for now. *sighs*

Until next time,

http://sweetshoppedesigns.com/blog/?p=650

but anyway.. off to the results from "What your cute monster says about you?"

What Your Cute Monster Says About You

You are a giving, open, loving person. You truly want the world to be a better place.

You appreciate what you have in life. You are very content.

Your inner demon is sensitivity. You are very sensitive, and your sensitivity can be a double edged sword.

People think you're cute because you're generous. You are easy to love - it's part of your charm.

Oh my it's been a while. I feel like blogging tonight. These last few days have been chaotic! From shopping for party items to making things. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I made his smash cake tonight. Aww its huge!! It's a 9 inch chocolate on chocolate round cake! I hope he has a good time with it. I'm very upset but, happy at the same time. My baby is turning ONE!! Ahh, I'm sorry if I'm rambling. On another note, my cranky ass father's side of the family won't return my calls. Well except for my Aunt Sheila. So I don't know if they are even coming to his party or not!! It's whatever I guess. Their loss if they don't come. I really hope they do because I would love to see my sister and 2 youngest brothers. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
Oh yeah and my Redskins are 6-2. How exciting is that!! I'm hoping we can take the Steelers on Monday!! But on that note I'm out for now!!

Until next time,

I would die for that

YAY!! The Redskins won!! I couldn't be happier there. Work pretty much was long. But not too bad. I have to work tonight too. Hopefully it won't seem so long. Hmm.. I haven't talked to my online bestie in a few days and I miss her tons!! I hope you are doing well Mandy Lou. Keegan is doing ok. He's not better, but he's not really sick anymore. Praise the lord!! I still feel like poo on the other hand. It hurts to breathe :/. I think I'm going to take a nap. Ta ta for now!

Until next time,

Yesterday..

2008-09-28T14:43:00.008-04:00

We all went a family reunion yesterday!! It was good, except it rained, a lot. We camped out last night and then came home this morning. Well the tent leaked! My back is killing me, everything was soaked, and the baby is cranky! Hopefully, he won't be sick again. He just seemed to be getting better!! I have to work tonight at 8, and I'm hoping to see all of the big game today before work. It's going to be close since they don't kick off until 4:15 :/. I guess we'll see. That's all for now. Not in a blogging mood. I feel like poo!

Until next time,

My toes!!
