WHY?

 Saturday, January 31, 2009

I am back! As Re would say I have put on my big girl panties and I am dealing with it!!!

Tay Why won't you sit down in the bathtub? Your legs must hurt from squatting the entire time.
Why did you laugh at that little boy at the park last weekend? Was it not enough that he was crying put you had to point too!? Who taught you this?
Why did you bite that sweet girl in your class 3 times? Was the one bite in the face not enough?
Do I hurt you when I try and brush your hair? Is that Why you sqeal and squrim when I try? Or do you just like food and snot in your hair?
Is there something wrong with every buggy at Target and Wal-Mart? Is that Why you refuse to sit in one longer than 5 minutes?
Was that baby talking about you behind your back? Is that Why you pushed her down?
Was your ass on fire? Is that Why you ran through the mall that way?

FUNK-ALICIOUS

 Monday, January 26, 2009

I want to apologize for being MIA for the past week or so. I have been in a FUNK for the past couple of weeks and can't seem to shake it. I was positive that no one really wanted to hear me whining! I am sure Hubby would love for someone else to hear it but, AHH the joys of wedded bliss! Anywhoo.....when I can shake this off I will be back!

It is that time again!

The Prompts:


1.) Tell us about a memorable blind date.
A friend of mine-FRIEND set me up with a friend of her boyfriend who we will call ASS. Let me tell you that her boyfriend-ASS was not someone any of us liked. I still am not sure why I agreed with this. (Oh yeah...We were meeting up with some of our friends from college after dinner at a local bar and it was a free meal!) Anyway....ASS was one of those guys that is WAY to into himself. You know the type, when he walks past a window, a mirror or any reflective surface he checks himself out. Well ASS, we find out later was using roids, the cause of his lovely-let me pull you across the parking lot by your hair-personality, brings a friend who is just a mini-version of himself. GREAT! I am super stoked! We go eat, everything is going as well as can be expected! I am finishing with my meal and DATE asked me if I am going to finish my Chicken Parm. I said "no I am done." He proceeds to lean across me and stab my left over piece of chicken with his fork and said, "well I do need to bulk up!" WTF...are you kidding me. I could not wait to get to the bar and drink away this bad date! So we get to the bar and meet up with our friends from school and we are all dancing and doing shots, while I am doing my best to avoid DATE! When I see FRIEND, ASS and DATE all having a very serious conversation and looking at their watches. (I really didn't care what was going on he was so not my problem anymore!) I see ASS and DATE leave (thank God) and FRIEND walks up to me and tells me that ASS is bringing DATE home so he doesn't break curfew! WTF are you FREAKING kidding me! I just got set up on a date with a muscle head, food stealing, no manner having, youngin' with a curfew! Needless to say that was my first and last blind date!


2.) Other than the birth of a child or your wedding, write about a joyous moment.
March 16th 2007! It was the day Tay finally stopped crying! Tay had a terrible case of Colic! As first time parents we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into with a new born and it made it all the worse when she cried for 3 straight months! Everyone kept telling us that at 3 mos. most all babies out grow this! We were counting down the days......LITERALLY! We could not wait for her to turn that corner! On March 16th 2007 she woke up and was like a completely different baby. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, I could stop trying to see if she would fit in the microwave (I kid...) she had stopped that painful my belly hurts cry!! It was one of the BEST days of my life! (and hers too).

Side note----yes we tried everything swinging, singing, swaddling, warm baths, walking, standing on our heads, promises of a new car, diamond tiaras....everything we could think of! Until one night I got on the Internet and typed in HELP-CRYING BABY-WON'T STOP-SOS and that day I found one of the best products EVER! Colic-Ease! Check out their site here. I will not have another baby without it and have recommended it for everyone I know that is having a baby and even some strangers!


3.) Write about one of the most difficult decisions you have made in your life.
I'll save this one for another day!
4.) Share the best picture you took last month and explain why it's your favorite.
I blog at work so I do not have much access to my pictures.

No Habla Espanol!

 Tuesday, January 20, 2009

I knew there was a reason....check this post out. Blue Eyed Bride was able to capture exactly my feelings on this day! Check this out. I am not going to yak on and on about the Inauguration of President Obama! It is a historic day for this country. One that I am sure that not many people believed would ever happen. I personally did not vote for Obama, but I do wish him all the luck in the world! Anyone that accepts this position must realize that their life and the life of their family will NEVER be the same. I can only hope that the public, aka the media gives the Obama daughters the privacy and respect they deserve. They did not ask to be in the position that they are now in, they just love their Daddy! I am excited to see what the future holds for this great nation of ours!

Now on to my life....
Tay has started to stutter! I am hopeful that she will outgrow it, but I am concerned because I do not want it to get worse! We took her to the Dr. for her 2year check up last week and the Doc said that we should watch her for the next 3-6 mos and take it from there. I did notice that she did not start the stuttering until she went to the new school. Maybe she is just trying to talk faster than her little mouth can keep up.
It is unbelievable how her vocabulary multiplies on a daily basis. She is now speaking in sentences. Her favorite "Dora Boots on T.V. Mommy... NOW!!" Dora still holds a special place in her heart, but she is falling for Diego or "eggo" as Tay likes to call him! I can honestly say that Tay now knows more Spanish than I do! Ha....Maybe Dora and "Eggo" can teach Mama something too. Sorry for the short post, will post more later!

Ode to the letter "L" Part 2

 Thursday, January 15, 2009

Here is the second half of my Ode to the letter "L"! I am having way too much fun with this. Maybe I should pick a letter a week....hum?!

LED ZEPPELIN- I started listening to this group in High School and have loved them since. Yes, I was listening to them on a tape, not a CD! I just dated myself...oops. A friend of mine even had a Zeppelin train painted around her room. Her parents let us paint all over her walls (they were cool like that) and her and her boyfriend at the time made a train using the titles of Led Zeppelin tracks. The train went all the way around her room and featured some of our favorite songs. Kashmir...Dancing Days...Rain Song...Tangerine...Heartbreaker...Ramble On...Immigrant Song...Stairway to Heaven...Friends...Trampled Under Foot....Moby Dick...Thank You...Black Dog...Going to California....ahh the memories! Riding around drinking beer.....

LEIGHTON/LIVELY- Photobucketaka. Gossip Girls......This is my new FAVORITE show!! It keeps getting better and better. I cannot get enough of the Blair/Chuck storyline! Serna's storyline needs some revamping....I am not enjoying the Dan/Serna break up-get back together 3 times in one episode, Enough already! Oh, do the private schools in NY actually let their high school girls dress like THAT!? (This offically counts as 2!)

LOST- Ok...if you are a fan of the show you will understand my obsession with it and why I HAD to post 3 different videos from the show! The first one gives a ton of background setting up the show, which I have never seen before but could watch over and over. The second and third videos are previews for the up and coming season. I am so looking forward to 1/21/09!! Yay!









LUNDI GRAS- for the real meaning click here.
In my younger days this was my favorite day of the entire Mardi Gras weekend! P-raids do not start rolling until around 5pm so the entire day is for walking around the city, drinking some wonderful drinks and just hanging out waiting for the parades to start! Ernst Cafe always does a big street party, we would load up the ice chest and just hang out listening to music and of course drinking! I have not been able to participate in a very long time. Damn responsibilities! But one day......

Ode to the letter "L" Part 1

 Tuesday, January 13, 2009

Last year....actually about 3 weeks ago I volunteered to do a "letter" for a post! Sera gave me the letter L! I have actually been working on it for about 3 weeks but something else always came up.....daughter's 2nd birthday, Christmas, new year's, anniversary. I figured I would hurry up and post this before Mardi Gras!

Ode to the letter L-
(I am suppose to pick 10 things, I love/like, that start with the letter L and post)
*I was having so much fun and did not want to make this a marathon post so I am splitting it up into 2 different days.....Come back tomorrow and see the rest!*

LEMON DROP SHOTS-
Photobucket
Some of my best memories or fuzzy memories from college involve these shots! Re and I use to do these every time we went out!! I can say that when a bastard bartendar serves it to you HOT you wanna hurl on their shoes! Re-remember doing about a million of these in Kats miniature apartment?!

LEFT EYE LOPEZ- aka Lisa Nicole Lopes
Photobucket
"Lisa Nicole Lopes (May 27, 1971 – April 25, 2002), better known by her stage name Left Eye, was a Grammy Award-winning American rapper, singer-songwriter, teen idol, and member of the popular R&B group TLC.
Lopes contributed her own self-written raps to many of TLC's popular singles, including "Waterfalls" and "No Scrubs". Lopes was also a self-taught keyboardist and displayed those talents during her solo spot on TLC's headlining concert performances. She was also known for wearing a pair of glasses with a condom in place of the left eye lens in the beginning of her career, which was one of the ways the group promoted safe sex.[1]" Borrowed from Wikipedia




I think because I grew up in the 80's and 90's I have a complete weakness for TLC! Their music can really bring up some memories from a LONG time ago!!

LEONARDO DICAPRIO-

Enough said!.

LOUISIANA COOKING-
Photobucket
Pinch the tails, suck the heads! If you have never been fortunate enough to attend and eat some of the best food in the world....crawfish, then you have no idea what I am talking about!! I cannot wait until the first one of the season!

Red beans and rice with cornbread! A Monday night tradition in these parts of the woods!

Seafood gumbo with out a doubt is best cooked by my father! or even sausage and chicken--A personal favorite!


LABYRINTH- This was one of my fav.o.rite. movies when I was younger. "Labyrinth is a 1986 fantasy film, directed by Jim Henson, produced by George Lucas, and designed by Brian Froud. Henson collaborated on the screenwriting with children's author Dennis Lee and Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones. The leads are David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King, and Jennifer Connelly as Sarah Williams. The plot revolves around Sarah's quest to rescue her little brother from the Goblin King while trapped in a world that is an enormous otherworldly maze. Most of the other significant roles are played by puppets or by a combination of puppetry and human performance. It was shot on location in New York and at Elstree Studios in the UK. It was the last feature film directed by Henson before his death in 1990."-borrowed from Wikipedia
If you have not seen this movie you need to go out and find it and watch it as soon as possible. I'm almost positive you can get it on DVD and won't have to dust off the VCR-if you haven't thrown it away by now!

Seriously...5 years?!

 Friday, January 9, 2009

Photobucket

Today hubby and I have been married 5 years! Sometimes it feels like the time has flown by and other times I am like "only 5, it feels like 500!" We have been together a total of 11 years! Good Grief... it sounds like much longer when you see it in black and white! My wedding day was one of the BEST days of my life-EVER! It was so much fun that immediately after the wedding I decided that I wanted to do THAT every year! Well that was slightly impractical, but that just shows how much I truly loved every moment of that day/night! (Thanks Mom and Dad- I can only hope that we will be able to give Taylor what you gave us- we better start saving now!) The only regret about my wedding/reception is that we did not eat any of our food. We lived out of town so we were catching up with all of our friends and relatives most of the reception. They made us a to-go box but we were already in the limo on our way to the hotel so we were not turning around for food! We should have! I heard the food was great! Oh well...c'est la vie.

Photobucket

Everyone wants to know how you met your significant other. Well it is a kinda boring story...we hung out with the same group in college and after a process of elimination (sorry honey) we ended up together. At the time we "hooked up" I was seeing someone else.
DISCLAIMER: I was and had been in a long distance relationship with someone and during that time I dated other people but with the understanding that me and other boy would be together whenever I graduated or he got out whichever happened first. (No he was not in prison he was in the military!)
But the instant Hubby and I started dating I knew that this was going to go somewhere really special, so I immediately ended things with Military boy! I did not know that I would be sitting here 11 years later blogging about our lives, but I knew that there was a really strong connection and I would be kicking myself later on in life if I did not let myself "go there!" Well I went there and haven't looked back! Not to say that it has all been rainbows and sunshine, if I said that you would know I was lying, but it has been a pretty great ride! We have fought-I love a good fight, we have cried, and we have laughed!

Photobucket


This list is just a small portion of what we have shared in the past 11 years:

~an eviction after a SURPRISE visit-(Dad made a surprise visit and boy did he surprise me when he knew what a bong *ahem* a water pipe was) oops!-it was not mine! I swear!
~a graduation- It only took me 6 years, whatever, I couldn't decide on a major.
~7 cars-a bronco-(hated that car, we were left on the side of the interstate one too many times), a Mercedes, a 626, a 4-runner, an Altima, 2 jeeps.
~9 moves in 4 cities (The Burg, Orlando, Charleston, Louisiana- i know that la is not a city but don't want to give up all my secrets!)
~2 dogs-Smoke-I often wonder where she ended up- & Bowden,
~a divorce or two or three-not ours- former roommate, a family member and a good friend!
~so many weddings that I cannot even begin to count
~a couple of hurricanes-damn Katrina & Gustav
~a renovation-UGH,
~an addition-DOUBLE UGH,
~5 jobs-all mine,
~lots of Advil gel caps,
~too much alcohol (lesson learned no tequila EVER for hubby, btw-he still claims he was drugged!),
~tons of cab rides-thanks to that small incident with the cops,
~a couple of vacays-we should do more of these (oh yeah we need money for this)-Gatlinburg-he fished I read, Ft. Lauderdale, overnight stays across the lake, Disney, Universal Studios, Knoxville, Jamaica
~funerals-Mrs. Viola, Dee Dee, Jason, Alison, Father Joe,-thank God there have not been that many of these.
~some really good friends-(many that we are still in contact with on a regular basis, thanks to f/b, football games, cell phones
~and the BEST and BIGGEST thing we have shared in the past 11 years........TAYLOR

I cannot imagine my life without Hubby in it! He is the best husband, father, friend, brother, and son.
I am not sure exactly what I want to say today except to let Hubby know that I love him more today than I did yesterday and will love him even more tomorrow than I do today! Thank you for putting up with me and all my BS. Thank you for believing in me and in us when i find it hard! Thank you for my daughter! I love you (even if I don't always act like it!)

Writer's Workshop!

 Wednesday, January 7, 2009

*Update---Thank you Sissy for becoming my 14th follower!*

When I saw this at MamaKat's I knew we were back to normal in the blogging world....
The Prompts:
1.) Describe your latest obsession.
2.) Ask a loved one to use 6 descriptive words to describe you and report your findings. How well do they know you?
3.) Who was your first bloggy friend? How did you find each other? Do you still correspond?
4.) Tell us about your pet! If you have a weird infatuation with your dog or cat we want to hear about it (or if they just plain drive you crazy)...but please don't compare them to children. It's just not the same.
(Did any of you see that Housewives of Orange County when the workaholic type A Mom was talking to her daughter and asked her if she would be devastated if the mom died? The daughter was all, "I mean yeah, it would be hard...kind of like if I lost Chloe." And the mom was all "please tell me that losing me would be a little harder on you than if you lost your dog..." and the daughter was all "I'm just saying it would be really hard to lose Chloe, she's the closest thing I have to a child, so that would be hard." and the mom was all "I understand, just TELL me you are not comparing me to your DOG and that you would miss me more if I died!"
No? Didn't see that one? It was funny.)

Ahem.
Which one will YOU choose??


I knew immediately I wanted to do #2. But who do I ask........? I wanted to get some insight into what my peeps actually thought of me. Now, this could only go one of two ways; REALLY WELL or REALLY BAD!!
I sent a text to Sissy, Hubby and Re to get their responses! They did not let me down. Sissy and Re kinda FREAKED out and was all like "do you need them now, or can I think about it?" Hubby went straight for the inappropriate, but anatomically correct, boobilicious, and breasty (are either one of those words?)-sorry Dad. He is obviously a breast man!
After paying them each way too much, they gave me my 6 words.

Sissy Said...straightforward, thoughtful, cautious, appreciative, sociable, sincere.
Hubby Said...trustworthy, sensitive, stubborn, moody, beautiful, selfless.
Re Said...compassionate, sensitive, fun, loyal friend, smart, subdued/shy .


So the results, Who the hell knows! The three people that know me the best have thrown out a mixed bag of descriptive words. You can tell that Re and Sissy did not want to start an argument but Hubby went right for the throat! I will admit that I can be VERY STUBBORN when need be and that I am EXTREMELY MOODY!! (what female isn't?) Imagine how moody I would be without my "crazy" pills. SCARY!!!
Sissy threw in sociable, which caught me off guard that she sees me this way. I feel that I am way to shy! (Re agrees) I do have a hard time with new people and new situations. If I know you, not a problem, but until I warm up to you, forget about it, you are gonna think that I am the biggest snob ever! There have been certain circumstances where I have had to step out of my comfort zone and play the outgoing person that I am not. As a manager at a retail clothing store I definitely could not play the shy card. I had to interact with every customer that walked in the door as well as train and lead the associates! Also working in Orlando as a Recreation Intern I was forced to lead many activities that I could not and would not do if I were to play shy. (Leading the macarena out at pool parties- in a bathing suit no less, karaoke at welcome party night, dressing up as the Easter Bunny and delivering baskets on Easter Sunday morning). Maybe I am stepping out of my shy shell...We shall see!
Re knows that I am one of the most loyal people in the world! If you are my friend you are my friend for life. (But if you fuck me over--LOOK OUT--the Scorpio in me will come out and you wish you had never met me!)
Re and Hubby both said sensitive and that particular word can go both ways! Even though I don't! HA. I like to think the positive! I want to believe that they meant that I am sensitive to other people's needs, yada, yada, yada. And not that I am a sensitive bitch that needs to stop taking shit so personally and get over it!
I can say that all three of these people know me VERY well. They hit the nail on the head in every way possible. I am so tired of talking about myself!

Anywhoo......I want to thank y'all for playing!

"New School"

I just finished lunch with a friend of mine from High School! My senior year in high school there were six of us that were pretty tight, ie...go to bars, get drunk, and party, and we use to call ourselves the six shooters, gay, I know! We all had nicknames Phish, Penny, BeBe, Blondie, Grumpy-that was me-thanks to an unhealthy relationship with a guy whose name rhymes with Bason-, and ???? I cannot for the life of me remember what her nickname was....I'll have to find that pink Koozie, you know I still have it 15 years later, and get back to you!
*Update* So I found it!! I do have to say that at 16 we were so brilliant! Kre was the name we came up with! Good Grief we must have been drunk when we came up with these highly unoriginal names.
Anywhoo....It was so nice to meet with her and catch up!! 1 hour is so not enough time to accomplish this task. She is the type of person that it does not matter how long it has been since you last talked you can always pick back up right where you left off. Or maybe we just have that type of friendship!? Of course we gossiped about all of the people we could while throwing in tid bits about ourselves in between. We were at lunch for 1 hour and 15 minutes and I don't think we stopped talking the entire time. It was way over due! I would like to try and start doing this a little more. Taking a little bit of time once a month to catch up with a friend I have not seen in awhile! It helps to remind you who you were, who you are, and hopefully how far you have grown as a person in that time! If you have not grown any as a person it might be a little difficult to be reminded that you are EXACTLY the same person you were 15 years ago. Sad, but unfortunately we know many a person from good ole STA that have not moved beyond 16 or 17!

Today I dropped Taylor off for her 3rd day at the "new school"! This is what we have named it...I know very original! It was the only thing I could come up with so she could differentiate between the bad old school and the good new school. So the first day we left her wailing, red faced with tears running down the face, and this was just me!! I kid, i kid....It was not a pretty sight for anyone. I could hear her wailing outside. It broke my heart. The owner called about an hour later and let us know that she indeed did stop crying and she was doing really well! I picked her up from school and they let me know that she did really well. She played well with the other kids and even took a nap! The nap is like a litmus test for daycare. Nap=good day, No nap=BAD DAY! Tay didn't stop talking the entire ride home! She already seemed like a different child. Second day, she cried but it was not nearly as bad as the 1st. When I picked her up she even waved bye bye to new school as we drove away! This morning when I dropped her off she did not even cry! What a difference 2 days and a new environment can make!! I am so delighted that we have stumbled upon a new daycare that is going to actually enrich my daughter's life, or at the very least not stick her in a highchair for the entire day! So now I have to fight the urge to let Mommy guilt take over again. I am now beginning to beat myself up as to why I did not pull her out earlier, and how much she would have blossomed in the right environment, etc. UGH.......
Thanks for caring,

2009

 Friday, January 2, 2009

PhotobucketI am glad that we have welcomed in a New Year and put to bed everything that has happened in 2008. The biggest change in my life that occurred in 2008 was the changing of my career. I have worked in the Retail Industry for the past 5 years, and I had had enough. (Let me remind you- I HATE CHANGE! ) I have been working weekends and nights since I was 19 and wanted to spend time with my daughter and my husband at the same time! I wanted to be the one that gave Tay a bath, I wanted to be the one who put her to sleep, I wanted to be the one to help her eat her dinner. As grateful as I am to my MIL, my mom and Sissy for helping us out, I wanted to be the one doing all of the stuff they were doing! So I got my resume together and started the hunt for a new job. Since I have always worked in the Hospitality Industry I did not have the experience for a typical office job. (Hell, 8mos later and I still have issues making Fucking labels!) I could provide the best Customer Service you have ever seen, but I did not know how to make a pot of coffee. I knew how to handle an irate customer without blinking an eye, but had no idea how to input checks in to Quick Books. I could stay up for 24 hours straight putting out new product, doing inventory, checking in shipment, and training new employees, but I had no idea what A/R and A/P meant. If someone would just give me an interview they would hire me. I have a college degree, I present myself well (ie...I don't show up for a job interview with jeans and a t-shirt), I am willing to do whatever it takes to get the job right! I love to learn, so I will read and or study anything and everything I need to become a success at whatever I put my mind to. The problem was my resume could not portray what kind of person I was and that I could handle an office job. All it showed was that I had not used Excel since college in 1997, that I had never done A/R and A/P, and that I could marginally type. I just needed the interview! I have yet to go on an interview and not get the job. So the first interview I went on I got the job and now I am in an office 8-5 Monday-Friday! I got what I wanted. My boss took a chance on me because I had the education he was looking for but not the experience. It has been a rough road, my 6mos evaluation told me some stuff that I did not want to hear, but I am still here trying my damnest to impress my boss. I am not ready to accept the fact that I am not cut out for this job! I have done lots of different things in my life and I can and I will succeed at this one!

I don't make New Year's Resolutions, why set myself up to fail! Instead of a Resolution I have decided to just try and be better this year!

A better...

Mom-stop getting so aggravated when Tay throws a fit when she doesn't want to get dressed, get in the bath, eat, turn off the t.v., go to school, go to sleep, get in the car.....etc.
Wife- trying to cook once a week *gasp*, trying to find some time for Hubby and I to have a date night, even if it is once a month. I do miss our time when it is just the two of us!
Housekeeper-throw away some of the shit I have collected and hang on to because "you never know!"
Friend-invest some more time reconnecting with friends from my past. They are great people and we have a history that I do not have with other people! Reach out more to my friends that do not live here and actively participate in their lives even if it is just over the phone! I do miss y'all!
Daughter-help my parents out when and where I can
Sister-be there if and when Sissy needs someone to talk to
Employee-stop Blogging at work! (this one is gonna be the hardest)
Christian-this one should probably be #1, but I have to take baby steps where this is concerned

Writing this all out makes it seem like I have a long road ahead of me! But, no one ever said that life would be easy or fair! I have so much to be thankful for in my life and I want to be able to look back at the beginning of next year and know that I did not take for granted all my wonderful blessings.
When 2010 rolls around I want to be able to look back at 2009 and know---
~that I have stayed true to myself and am using myself to its fullest potential.
~that I did not give into my lazy slobbish tendencies all the time!
~that I did make the necessary sacrifices to make other lives better including my own.
~that I appreciated my husband and did let him know how lucky and honored I am to have him in my life.
~that I have started the process of loving myself!
~that I did take time for myself to nurture myself!
~that I fully participated in my daughter's life.
~that I remembered to thank GOD every morning and every night for giving me the opportunity to have more time with my daughter, my Hubby, my friends, and my family!
~that I did not cuss at EVERY person on the road even when they drive with their heads up their asses!
~that I tried to see the glass as half-full instead of my standard half-empty mind set!

Thanks for caring,
K
