2009

Well, I sure hope that 2009 rocks the socks off of 2008. Lets just say that 2008 was pretty much the worst year of my life. Between the rocky roads of "Chris and I" and then my bipolar and borderline diagnoses, and my fall into a world of addiction, to the rise out, to the death of my mother... I pray that good things come to me in 2009.

Besides the fact that at the moment I am sitting at home by myself with a toddler, it holds promise. I am heading out tomorrow morning to visit family in Louisiana. I will be there until Sunday. I havn't been "back home" in forever. I wasn't born there, but I used to go there every summer and to me it's always felt like home.

Tonight, i dont have any plans. New Years Eve and I don't have a baby sitter so I can't go out. Chris, however, may. I don't know yet.

Thats all for now! I hope you all have a great night! Have a drink for me!

CANCUN!

So.... my best friend Merinda, remember her? I told you that if you followed you would hear a lot about her. Well, a few months ago, she mentioned to me that her "granny" had a time share condo in none other than Cancun, Mexico! And the great part was that she offered her week this summer to Merinda and her bf Andrew! Well, they invited me and Chris. We didnt know if we were going to be able to go for sure because she didnt know exactly what week and the guys have to ask off for work WELL in advance to make sure they can get off. So guess what? She called yesterday with the date! WE ARE GOING TO CANCUN!

I am so excited!

We are staying at the Royal Caribbean Resort! She is coming over today to keep an eye on Lance while I apply for jobs because we need extra money if we are going to make cancun!

Obsession of mine.

I LOVE to organize things with plastic bins and containers. I mean I LOVE LOVE LOVE plastic bins and containers. I have five bins under my bathroom counter. One for lotions, one for face products, one for Chris' clipper set, and one for feminine products. Ok, I guess there are 4. BUT there is a plastic container of baby wipes on the end. I have them in my pantry, in my laundry room, in my pantry and of course my closet. I bought two new new ones last night and I was happy. They make me happy. Idk why. They were for Lance's room. He got probably 100 matchbox sized cars for Christmas, so one was for those, and then he got a kitchen food set so he can "help" mommy so I got one for that.

Another obsession of mine are shoes, I realize that this is my biggest material love and I have never touched down on it. It's bad guys... i have shoes that I have never worn. I buy shoes even if I have nothing to wear with them. When I go shopping for a new outfit, I pick out the shoes first. All the money that I get to spend on myself, goes to shoes. If it has a heel you bet I will love it, especially if it is a stiletto heel. OMG, I am getting excited about just typing about them...*sigh* I have a kohls gift card... think I might hit up the shoe department first, whatdya think?

Something Super Cool!

I LOVE these. I want to try them so badly! I love wearing my hair bumped! But with certain hairstyles, I have a hard time with it.... This is perfect! Go check it out!

mmm!

My favorite food in the world is steak. I love it all, cooked medium... with a side of mashed potatoes and maybe a salad.

The other night Chris and I went with Merinda and her boyfriend (also a good friend of mine) to Chilis. I ordered a sirloin steak. It was so good, but I could only eat a few bites due to the chips and salsa Chris ordered before the meal. So, it is not even 10 o'clock yet this morning and I have already eaten half of my leftover steak...

As much as I love to cook (most of the time) I CANNOT cook a steak. Sucks.

I love the prime rib at Texas Roadhouse, but I havnt been there in forever, probably over a year.

Another thing I love are the really gross plascic surgery shows. Just an FYI post.

More from my brain later!

Autumn Rain (my mom's bulletin poem)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Black Friday?

Is today another Black Friday? I kinda hope so, I have a gift card for kohls that I would like to use. But I would like a killer deal on whatever I get, maybe a new bed set for my bed, I could use one. The comforter I have now, I have been using since before I had Lance and it has a rip in it. I am so picky about what goes on my bed, that i doubt I would even find one at the first 5 stores i went to, so i might just get some shoes or something. :P

Also, Lance LOVES his smart cycle. I am so glad too, my mom ordered it online for him right before she passed away so it is kinda the last thing she gave to him. I need to go to walmart today too. When Chris was slicing our ham last night he accidentally spilled the honey and brown sugar glaze that I put on top of it, all over the floor. I need to invest in a mop and some mr. clean, multi surface cleaner for my floor. My entire house is a wreck. I just havnt really felt up to cleaning it lately, which was a mistake because now I have pretty much 3 xs the work to get it done.

I do however have TONS of leftovers!
