It's like there must be a full moon or something...

Me and Nina have been friends for about 10 years and it has been a great friendship. We went to high school together and we both went to college together and we have always remained really close friends. She is Leahs godmother and Leah was her flowergirl at her wedding. She came up to Huntsville this weekend and sent most of her Saturday with me and gave me the great news that she is preggers! I am so excited and happy about it, it is the best news ever! I can't wait to be there for everything and I am glad that she lives close. She was there when I had Leah and I plan to be there when she has her bundle of joy! I just want to say congrats to Nina & George and I can't wait to see cutie!

P.S. She is the second friend in the past few months who is preggers, so I have tons of baby showers to plan! I love it!

Cuteness!!!

My baby is growing up and I am loving every minute of it!

I can't believe it's here!

The day that I have been waiting for for 2 years is finally here! After my final this evening, I am done with school. I would have received my Associate's Degree in Web Deisgn and Development. It feels absolutely surreal and I never thought this day would come! I remember during summer when I was stressing about not taking enought classes to get done, it felt like I had an entire year left, but I hung in there, hoping that it would officially fly by and honestly it has. It has not always been easy and it is something that more than one time, I have wanted to give up on, because I am good at that. But I knew that it would be worth it in the end and it is. I know that I still have to begin to venture out and look for a career, but I am going to bask in this for a minute and enjoy.

I do know that I cannot take all the credit, because without my support, I would have caved a long time ago. I am gratefeul for God; who helped me and has been the ultimate friend in my life. I am grateful to my mom for helping me out with Leah, because that gave me the opportunity to go to school at nights. Also, Sandra because she made this experience the most fun and I am glad to have the opportunity to celebrate this with her ("We did it girl!!!"). And of course, my main love, who made me even go for it and who is so happy for me and that is what really matters and she has made me motivated and that is my daughter Leah; you are absolutely amazing and I love you more than words can describe...I am doing this babe for me and you!

Now for some Christmas Fun!!!

12 Days of Christmas!!!

This is Straight no Chaser singing the "12 Days". It's an amazing group and you are gonna love it!!

BTW....

Alabama won the Iron Bowl! It just goes to show how bad ass Crimson Tide really is! It was one of the most stressful games of the season (along with the LSU games). Because we didn't finally scored at the last minute, but Auburn could have come back and won, but they didnt...yay!!! So I love my Roll Tide more than ever and I am rooting for my Tide when they play FL this weekend. We are still at this point undefeated and #2, you couldn't ask for more... Roll Tide Roll!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!!

Hi Loves,
How are you? I hope all is well with everyone and that everyone enjoyed their vacations! It was nice to get out of Huntsville for a few days and spend time with family for Thanksgiving. I did also get to sleep in, watch movies and shop, so there are definently no complaints on this end. And one of the most exciting things about Thanksgiving is that it means Chritsmas is near and I absolutely love Christmas, but this year, I don't want it to pass me by like last year. I know it is going to be hectic at work with tons of deadlines, with school, trying to finish up my last 3 weeks, but I still want to savor the moments.
Some things that I have decided to do this year are:

• Write letters to Santa (just for fun!)
• Drive and look at Christmas lights
• Watch anything Christmas on TV and Christmas movies
• Go to the Living Christmas Tree
• Have a Christmas party with close friends
• Make cookies and treats for family and friends

Thats just some of the plans, so far. As of now, I am still trying to finish putting the last few touches on the decorations around the house. I am very excited and I really want to enjoy this year!!!

"My Delrium" by Ladyhawke

I am always listening to tons of different music and after scoping for this song for at least 2 months, I finally found out who sings it. The group is Ladyhawke and she is amazing!!! I love this song tons and along with an amazing sound, the lyrics to the song are pretty coolio. So I am attaching the lyrics, so you can read them. I can totally relate! You can youtube the video, just search for Ladyhawke.

"My Delirium" by Ladyhawke

Late night, waiting by the phone
Tonight waiting for an answer
Heartbeat drumming double time
I need one more chance to be near you

Still hanging on (for what)
Can’t operate (fired up)
I won’t eat and I won't sleep for you yeah
No rest till I (get through)
Cause I’m holding out (for you)
Am I the only one who’s insane

Hey you’re playing with my delirium
And the longer I wait the harder I’m gonna fall
Stop playing with my delirium
Cause I’m outta my head and outta my self control

Still here in this quiet room
Deep in delusion sending me over
Outside watch the world go by
Inside time stands still as I wonder

Still hanging on (for what)
Can’t operate (fired up)
I won’t eat and I won't sleep for you yeah
No rest till I (get through)
Cause I’m holding out (for you)
Am I the only one who’s insane

Hey you’re playing with my delirium
And the longer I wait the harder I’m gonna fall
Stop playing with my delirium
Cause I’m outta my head and outta my self control

(I won’t eat and I won't sleep for you yeah)

Hey you’re playing with my delirium
And the longer I wait the harder I’m gonna fall
Stop playing with my delirium
Cause I’m outta my head and outta my self control
Hey you’re playing with my delirium
And the longer I wait the harder I’m gonna fall
Stop playing with my delirium
Cause I’m outta my head and outta my self control

Leah's Community Project

At Leah's school, about 3 weeks ago they gave the students an assignment to create a model of their communities, using a variety of objects and they had to include in their project: a church, gas station, grocery store, fire station, police department and houses of course. So me being the procrastinator, waited till last week to finish it.
She turned it in on Monday and got 100%. I even included real lights throughout the town. It was amazing and I was impressed at how good, it looked. It looked better than everyone elses.

My prayer...

First off, today I want to say that I am truly thankful to be alive. Give God thanks in the midst of everything that may be going on. He is the true friend that will be there, through whatever you are going through. I want to remember daily to ask God to show me the path that he has for me. I want to ask him to help me be disciplined enough to be obedient. I want God to direct my path. I apologize for taking this long to realize how important God is and how I truly want him to be a part of my life.

Sweet Potato Pie

(Photo from coastaliving.com)

Me and Leah are going to Chattanooga for Thanksgiving next week, which I am excited about, because it will be a major vacation for us. Whenever I go to someone's house for Holidays, I never really have to bring anything, because I think my family thinks I cannot cook, which I am actually pretty good at it. But this year, I am going to go above and beyond and bring something and let them see my skills, so I decided to do sweet potato pie. This is probably one of the holiday dishes that I am the best at, so I am going to do a test run over the weekend, one for me and one for my girlfriend who is preggers as a little food gift. Anyways, I got my recipe from allrecipes.com and I am sharing it with you. Enjoy! and I will tell you how it turns out:-)

Ingredients
1 (1 pound) sweet potato
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust



Directions
1.Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.
2.Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
3.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

Thanksgiving!

It's that time of year...where holidays are beginning to roll around and to me it gets pretty exciting! I love the cooler weather, the leaves changing colors and the time we get to spend with family. This year I am really looking forward to this time of year, because this is when you have the opportunity to build family traditions and now that Leah is a bit older, that is going to be my focus this year. Anyways, I don't want to wait until next week to begin to give thanks for the many things in my life, so here is my list:
(BTW, lets take some time the next week and really say some things that we are grateful for everyday, whether it is little things or big things)

1. My amazing family. I forgot how great they really are and I am grateful for them all.
2. That I only have about 3 weeks until graduation. I can't believe I am finally accomplishing a goal in my life, that looked like I would never get there.
3. For having a job. It may not be my career, but it is a good job and I love it.
4. To have each day to live a little bit longer.
5. To really have the opportunity to build my relationship with God. I am ready to give my self and my life to him. He has been way too good to me, for me not to thank him everyday.
   

My better half...

Me...

Hi loves,
It has been quite a crazy week with so many things going on as far as the cats and I have had midterms and my mind has been going all over the place. On my fashion blog this morning, I posted about how much I miss love. And I really do miss it lots. But at the same time, it got me thinking....about the relationship that was most recent that I was in. In looking back now, I honestly became the worse version of me. It has never been as bad as this time around and tinking about the person I became, really makes me wants to cringe.
I have always been the independent, speak your mind person, with lots to offer and an outgoing personality. And being with that person, I got lost in the mix. I started cussing, which is something that never was this bad. I started yelling at him. My trust dwindled. I started being the needy, crazy, overbearing girlfriend. And the good thing about me is when I notice these things, I make sure to eliminate what gets me that way.
It saddens me to think, that once again, I let a man in and decided I didn't exist. Was I that lonely that accepting my own bad behavior was the way to go? Maybe I was that lonely, but now that it is all coming to me, I will always have to remember that I have to set the example for someone that means the world to me. She looks on at every move and will think that both of our behaviors are acceptable and that is not the message I am trying to send to her. I also have to remember, that having someone in your life doesn't automatically equal happiness. It doesn't. The one thing about being single, is you are free. No hurtful strings, the only person who can hurt you, is you.
I think one thing that I am going to have to do from this point on is pray everyday that God will make me a stronger person and be able to handle this single life. That God will fulfill my life and take the loneliness away, so that I can cope. That I will have the opportunity for myself to build my relationship with him first. I have to accept that when he is ready for someone special to be in my life, he will provide that person, if he feels it necessary, and when he provides it, it will be someone amazing. Someone who knows how to respect me and loves me for me. Someone that will think that I am beautiful. Someone that will want to spend time with me. And do nice things just because. Someone who can respect my child as much as I do. Someone who is attractive and a christian. Someone who will be my friend. That is my prayer and from today on, I am going to strive to be a better person and always remain ME. Because I am wonderful.

Bedroom Wishes

(Photo from etc. blog)

I would love to have these pieces in my bedroom, especially since my bedroom is black, white and red.

How cute?

I love this picture, it reminds me of my babies, Coco and Kiely. They have been detained to the bathroom, because they have fleas. I have been bombing the house to get them out of the house, so I sterilized my bathroom (which needed a good cleaning) and treated the babies with flea collars and spray. I think today I am going to get a treatment for them and try to give them a shampoo bath. We have to get rid of them! I am just hoping that everything starts working, because it is so uncomfortable and I need to get it together before Leah gets here this weekend. Next up, working on Leah's bedroom and that is what I am working on tonight. It needs a good vacuum and her sheets need to be washed and I am going to bomb her room. We will see if all this stuff works.

Leah's 7th Birthday-Random Pics

Blah Blah Blah

Hi loves,
I have been so trying to get used to the transitions going on in my life as far as school, work and personal. It has been crazy and extremely unorganized more than you know, but hopefully we will be back to normal soon. Anyways, fall is coming and it has been beautiful. A little rainy, but still pretty gorgeous. I hope everyone is enjoying this time.
It is Halloween weekend, so I hope everyone has amazing things planned for the holiday. I am going to be an Army Cadet and Leah is going to be a hippie and there are tons of Halloween parties and Fall Festivals this weekend, so we will be doing that. Have great fun and I will post some pics when I get back. xoxoxo

It's all weird!

I am truly glad that the week is almost over, because I need to just go home and take this weekend and relax and do nothing! The week has been rough! Work has been fine, because there hasn't been much to do (that will all change), I had an interview on Tuesday, which I spent about 5 days preparing for it and it went well, but we'll see. My ceiling above my shower has somewhat caved in, and it still isn't repaired, so I have been taking sink baths...ugh! And everyone is getting sick, and I am losing my appetite. I don't know what is all going on, but I just wanna go home and lay on the couch and do NOTHING!
The good thing about this week is that it is Fall and the weather is doing a nice change. It's breezy and crisp and I am looking forward to sweaters, Halloween, and hot chocolate. It is something I am truly looking forward to more than anything. Now I could stand to be cuddled up with my boo, that would be nice. Just doing a little ventin'....xoxo

Have a great weekend!!!!xoxo

(Photo from etc. blog)

I am working on this now on one huge wall in my living room. It features pictures of me and a few siblings and of course tons of pictures of Leah. Since I still have another 2 weeks off of school, I have been working on doing things around the house and one thing that I will be doing this week is moving around the living room and the dining room and do something a little different.Plus it will spice up the place for fall. I am excited! I need a little bit of a change. I love decorating for fall!

It's Friday!

Hi loves, I am so glad it is Friday! It hasb't been a bad week, but I always look forward to weekends. Anyways, anyone have special plans? I am going to my besties birthday party tonight, church tomorrow, dinner party for another friend's bday, and we are going to Oktoberfest, which we do every year, so I will definently take pictures for you all to enjoy. Hope you have a great weekend!

On a fairly weirder note, yesterday me and the beau broke up! I am honestly just a little inch sad and thats about all. I knew that it would eventually come to this, so I have been prepared to deal with this. He was a great guy, but in the midst of all the things he was telling himself, he didn't know how to be in a relationship and he wasn't ready for that. He had way too many irons in the fire and I just happened to be somewhere in between all of that and that just doesn't work for me. I just wanted to know that I was important to him, that I mattered, that I was an intrigal part of his life and even though he would try, I never felt it. He started off that way, but got way too comfortable and never could keep it up. Truth be told, because I didn't feel important, it my trust with him questionable, along with a few other things, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had had someone else on the side. It hurts my feelings a little, because I am honestly a good woman and I hope all the things he was doing was worth losing someone great. And don't get me wrong, I loved being with him, but he just couldn't give me what I needed. I was really starting to become unhappy and then I thought about it, and realized even when I was single, I wasn't unhappy, so I can't let another human make me unhappy, and thats how I knew it would only be a matter of time. I had already talked to Leah about the whole situation, and explained to her that I was unhappy and she understood and she didn't want to see me sad, so that defienently went better than I thought it would. It's going to be okay, but I am not going to spend my weekend moping around, I am going to spend it busy with my daughter and there will be bad days, but it will all work out.

TV is so good now!!!!

(The new Melrose Place)


(The old Melrose Place)

I love my shows, but now that its about to be fall, all the good shows are coming on and it makes my Netflix useless. Some of my shows at the moment are Gossip Girl, 90210, Top Chef, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Project Runway, Kortney and Khloe Take Miami and Bridezillas.
But one that just makes my Tuesday nights extra juicy is Melrose Place. I could never get into the original, which of course one day I will Netflix it, but the new one is so good and full of drama. This show takes me to a whole different place and it is so much fun! There is a twist and turn at every corner, not to mention the people on the show are beautiful. I love it! I can see myself making amazing martinis and watching Melrose and 90210. So much fun drama!!! xoxo

Sending love your way today...

Hi everyone,
Its a cloudy Wednesday here and just thought I would send everyone who is in need, some beautiful flowers to brighten up your day! Have a great day!! I will try to enjoy my day also! xoxo

My new music!!

I am a music buff!!! I love any and all types of music. It ranges from country to gospel to punk and right now, I have a major music crush....I absolutely love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They are amazing! The CD is full of melodic songs with a little bit of a punky edge. Its absolutely lovely and the words make sense. I think that reach all the musical boundaries with their music. I am so in love! The CD is "It's Blitz". Great stuff and I am tempted to buy all the previous CDs, thats how good it is.

My day...

Hi loves,
Today is one of "those" days. I have finally got done with the summer quarter of school and there is only one quarter left until graduation (yay!). I am supposed to be enjoying the next 3 weeks until school starts back and I have started off being sick as a dog...ugh! I have like yucky cold symptoms and I am at work, wishing I could go crawl back into bed. So I am at work watching my shows online (90210 & Melrose Place)...shhh..don't tell anyone. But I hope you all have a great day!

Random...

Hi loves,
How are you? I have literally taken some days off from the blog because I have been so busy with work and school. I am taking my last final tonight and I am so ready to be done. After this final, I will have 3 weeks out of school and I am so excited! This is time I will have to read, cook and watch all the new seasons of TV shows.
Anyways, I did go and see the movie 500 days of Summer and it was different. I emjoyed it and loved all the music and it shows the ups and downs of love, so at one point I wanted to cry, but it was really good. Anyways, I hope everyone has amazing weekends...I am not doing anything, I am gonna just relax and chill, take Leah on a picnic on Saturday, catch up on movies and shows and of course start on both books that I have neglected: "Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella and "Stori Telling" by Tori Spelling. Have a wonderful weekend!!!!

Cute Movie...

I want to see this so bad...maybe this weekend

I wanna be loved too...

I love this picture so much! I would love to get a great big hug right now! In the midst of all the beau issues I am having right now, I am so lucky to have amazing friends who completely have been amazing to me and they are my rock. They are almost as close to me as my family. I felt like I was going down, and they have been picking me up and it is making it so much easier to move past this place that I am in. Sometimes we just need to be reminded how amazing we are and that we deserve the world! And they let me know everyday. Thanks Cedric and Sandra, you are both amazing to me and I appreiate it!

Roll Tide Roll!

This is my favorite time of the year, because things start to get interesting. I pride myself on being a major diva all day, everyday, but when it hits this time of the year, my diva side gets extra humble. I generally don't like sports, but my dirty little secret is that I am absolutely obsessed with college football. And my team of choice? Alabama Crimson Tide. I love my team with a passion and I am a serious fan. So I am so excited because season starts on September 5th and this is when things will begin to get to be tons of fun! All of us Alabama fans stick together and drink together. So in honor of the first game, I bought one of the cutest Alabama shirts ever to wear with pearls(thats how we roll) and to wear with my cute jeans and for Leah, I got her Roll Tide ribbons for her hair to wear with her Birkenstocks and jeans. I also got decals for the car, and a new Alabama throw for the couch. I am beyond excited and I am ready to go meet new Alabama fans and drink Bud Light! For those adoring fans, follow this link to get the 2009 Schedule. But FYI, the first game is September 5th at 7:00p.m. in Atlanta against Virginia Tech and will be shown on ABC. Roll Tide Roll! I love you so so much!

Here is the link to the official Roll Tide page for the Schedule: http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-footbl/sched/alab-m-footbl-sched-09.html

Coco Chanel (and not my kitten...)

Ok, so these are the cupcakes I am getting for my birthday next year or any special occasion. Or on that note, I may even make a batch myself, when I have the time. How amazing!

Blah Blah Blah

It has been one of those Mondays.where its all blah blah blah. I overslept this morning, which made me get to work at 1p.m., which wasn't that bad, but this period is beating my ass this month (I know it's a TMI, but who cares?). The good thing about this, is that as the week goes on, it is going to be hella busy and I love busy. But my true wish at this moment?
I wish I could go home, open all of the windows and let the fresh breeze come in and lay on my couch for hours and watch tons of movies with ice cream and wine. Thats my dream come true at this point, but instead I have class and then I have to fold up the clothes I washed a week ago that I have been dreading folding up. Ugh...if only we could escape for just a day..xoxo

My Results

I finally have my apartment back to myself and I didn't realize how much I love my own space. I had a friend who relocated back to Huntsville stay with me for about a month and it wasn't too bad, but honestly, I am just too much, because I am borderline OCD and I love things in order. Anyways, back to my topic, now that I am by myself in my apartment, I am feening to make things and the first thing that I made was the Guacamole recipe from the Glamour magazine (August 2009). It was really good and spiced very well. Mine is a little liquidy, but still tasty. I am impressed; I may never buy store bought again!

It doesn't get any more beautiful than this...

I am having a little bit of an addiction with Miles Davis. He is an amazing musician and makes me smile with EVERY single song. Just makes beautiful music and he makes Jazz so worth while! One of the best albums is Seven Steps to Heaven. He makes me happy!

I am feeling sad today. I think because it is a rainy day here and very very gloomy, and if it were up to me, I would go home without ANYONE there and lay in bed and turn off the horrid blackberry. I need to be cheered up. I am even being mean to the beau and he isn't doing anything. I think I need a detox from everyone for like a day. I would love some flowers, some cheesy fries, a coke and a good movie. That would be amazing, but since it is back to reality, thats not going to happen. Ugh...yucky day!!!

On a better note...

Ok, so I am so excited because Leah will be starting ballet in a week. Yay! Its her first extracurricular activity and she is excited and so am I. I wanted her to be in something elegant and fun at the same time, so I looked online and I am impressed with it all. So I get to spend my weekend buying tights and shoes and leotards. I am really excited for her and I cant wait for recital time! Yippee!

Such a sad day (not really)!

Today kinda made me wanna cry for many reasons:

1. Because it is a new week and I just want onw day by myself to eat and drink whatever I want and watch movies and really all my current magazines...(maybe I will be spontaneous this week!)

2. My Leah started school today. I am very happy, because she was so excited and something about seeing my baby in uniform makes me feel so freaking proud. She started 2nd grade and I wasn't there and that made me a little sad. I have always been there and now to not be there feels horrible. But we did have a semi-girls weekend and I made her feel special; I got her toes done, we went to lunch, and we did major back to school shopping. So heres to an amazing day my love. Mommy loves you so much, you are the joy of my day, so I will not cry!

3. I woke up with a horrible headache and I have been getting them more frequently. I have gotta stop stressing about everything!

4. I am graduating in less than 4 months and my mom told me last night that she will not be attending, because of the fact that it falls on the Sabbath (Saturday) and it really hurts my feelings because I have been working so hard. I want everyone to be there and it kinda makes me sad.

Pics from Atlanta and Chattanooga

Me and babe went on a mini vacay a few weeks ago and had an amazing time. He had the opportunity to meet my sister and her husband and he also had the opportunity to meet one of my besties and her man. It was wonderful and we really needed that personal time together. When we went to Chattanooga, we went to the Aquarium, we went to lunch, and had ice cream after. That night we went to a Daquiri bar downtown Chatt. On Saturday, we relaxed and then headed to a comedy show in ATL on Saturday evening, which was amazing and very funny! My friends loved him and it was really a good time and much needed!
