Pure Romance Party!

I’m having a Pure Romance party with Lindsey Smith on the 14^th.  If anyone is interested in joining let me know so I can include you on the invite.  She’s an amazing consultant and goes over all the products in a fun yet tasteful way.  These parties are always a huge hit so don’t miss out.  Oh and feel free to bring a friend.  I figured why not start my birthday weekend off with a bang.  There will be some finger foods but nothing too heavy so you may want to eat dinner before.  The party will start at 7:30pm and Lindsay will begin her show at 8:00pm so please arrive no later than 8pm.  The earlier the better so you have time to mingle, eat, and sip on some yummy cocktails to help loosen everyone up.  For those who have never been please feel free to ask me any questions or check out her website at www.pureromancediva.com.  Need to order stuff but can’t come to the party?  You can always email her at lindseysmith@pureromance.com and just let her know that I’m your hostess.  Hope to see you all there.  Invites will be sent out in a few days.

Goodbye Long Hair

I’m pretty sure I’m chopping my hair off this weekend. The first three pics are from when I had my hair short before so more than likely it will be a mix of all three.  The last three pics show the color I’m looking at blending with a dark brown.  Katya is coming over Saturday to cut/color since she's no longer working at the salon now that she's nursing.  I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends!  What do ya'll think about the cut?

I needed that.

Nice to see that if I wanted him I could still have him.

K.Michelle- Kiss My Ass

I first heard this on VH1's Love & Hip Hop Atlanta and while it may sound stupid to some if you knew the couple she was talking about you'd love it.  Stevie J is straight up Stuuuuupid!

Chill weekend.

First weekend since being back from Florida and I must say I miss the beach.  I love Austin but I really feel like I’m a beach baby at heart.  I planned on laying out this weekend but due to the weather most activities were indoors.  I still managed to have a decent time.  Saw a few friends, had dinner with Kendall, my mom and Mak on Saturday  and even was able to make it back in time so Makenna could see her brother.  They went fishing and then came back to the house to visit for a few.  I was even able to squeeze in going out for drinks with Rachel once they left.  That was exactly what I needed after that visit with Lamonte.  Here are some pics of Mak, Xavier, & Vanessa (Xavier’s mother).

 

Destin, Florida 2012

We’re back from our trip to Destin, Florida.  This second year was much more enjoyable than last year now that Makenna is older.  She had a blast at the beach.  Trying to get her to leave each day was a challenge.  It rained the majority of the time we were there but always allowed for some sunshine so we could get beach time in.  We did some snorkeling off the beach, rode wave runners, checked out Harbor Walk again, and tried out the Seablaster.  Nightlife was spent at the Cabana at our condo, AJ’s or at The Village Door.  Live music & wine at the Cabana was my favorite out of the three.   The last Saturday we were there we also finally got to meet Alexis, Jessica & Gwan.  Alexis is Makenna’s older sister.  It was great.  The two girls had so much fun swimming and playing with eachother.  Jessica and I already felt like we’d known eachother for years after all our convos but finally meeting in person was even better.  She’s super sweet and down to earth.  Her husband Gwan was hilarious and had all of us laughing.  All in all a great day spent with some pretty awesome people.  Jessie is expecting another baby so seeing her pregnant was so cute.  We definitely will have to visit more often and I’ve already let them know they’re welcome at our house anytime.  I’d have to say this trip was worth all the money and time taken off.  I did everything I intended on doing and made some great memories for not only myself but Makenna as well. 

Lifestyle Change

I’ve been super stressed for the past week with all the issues going on in my life.  Car being completely F****** up,  Makenna’s latest tantrums, lack of $$$, and then on top of that fighting with just about everyone.  You know its bad when you get to the point where you have to check yourself and say, “Mommy needs a TIME OUT!”.  With all that, on top of the recent fighting with Lamonte its only natural that my blood pressure was up when I went to the doctor this week.  One thing I have realized is that Lamonte always makes my blood pressure go up and after talking to him I do the same thing to his BP.  So, this might seem crazy but I’ve asked him to not call/text/see me for awhile.  I need a break from him.  It’s nothing personal but with everything going on I just don’t need the added stress.  I don’t think he took it the right way and I’m sure it sounds crazy when we have a child together but I just hit my breaking point.  We know all the right buttons to push with each other and well that is exactly what’s happened recently.  I’m hoping with a little space we’ll both find that we’re much happier.  It’s time for a complete lifestyle change for myself.  Regarding all aspects of my life.  I need to start eating healthier, exercise, work on getting finances in order, work even harder on making better decisions regarding my current love life and the complicated situations I get myself into because of it.  Just need a clean start.  I really want to find a church that I love and start attending more frequently.  I’ve tried everything else so maybe a little faith will help.  It can’t hurt right?  So that’s whats going on in my life.  Nothing else too exciting has happened.  Xavier came to town and got to see is sister so that was good.  He’s such a sweet kid.  Makenna loved seeing her big brother and I loved it even more than she did.  I want her to grow up with her brother & sister around her.  Lamonte mentioned that X and his mother might be moving to Austin soon so hopefully that will work out and Mak can have him much closer.  =)

Just realized its time to leave work so that’s it for today.
