Surgery, man does it stink! I had an osteotomy on my hand and my poor bones are just hurting! Plus typing at work is hard. You know, this is when you figure out what co-workers are the most helpful and who really cares. You know the results are always surprising to me. For your 411, if your about to spill your poptarts, ask for help! It's always there! Do you know how many times i dropped my poptarts, until I actually asked. The 5 second rule does not apply in the kitchen at work. Yuck! Also, never be stubborn! That I truly can be!

OK yall......I'm Baaaaack

Yeah...I've been away for awhile. But I have new experiences, thoughts, ideas to bring to the table. Its time to get it out!!! So, anyway, if you like to read, get ready! I've done some updating and additions like you would on a house. Same body, just a different look. So far, I've gotten engaged, grown gray hair, had hand surgery, worked my butt off, gained weight, got rid of the black hair, and changed my outlook on life. Yeah, I got a lot to tell ya! Stay tuned!

Why Do Women Love Shopping?

Why do we love shopping? Why does anyone for that matter? I will tell you why I am addicted. I am a bargain hunter, I love to bargain shop and find things that no one else will find. Items that are not sold in every store make you unique. When I shop, I don't just buy the first thing I like, because I know when I walk into another store, it will be there for half that price. My fav bargain stores are Ross Dress For Less and The Rugged Warehouse. Man! You can find some pretty awesome stuff for like up to $7.00. The only thing that I buy expensive is purses. There is nothing like the feeling of having a good quality expensive purse to carry. It just makes the entire outfit. I don't know why I am like that, but I am :). Also, good makeup is an expensive thing but you have to get matched if you are going to work in the corporate world. Before I started working for Estee Lauder, I hated expensive makeup, it was just entirely too much when everything you needed was at Loreal at Wal-greens. Well, I was wrong. Getting your natural shade of makeup matched to your skintone makes you look more professional and more natural and better. I have many ideas different for every shopping need. When I need to get out of the house, I do a little shopping at small stores other than the mall. Makes me feel better too if I have had a rough day. There is something about spending money versus leaving it in your bank account....well I'm not sure. Anyone like me? Please let me know I would love to hear from you!

Ever Been Up Late @ Nite, and CAN'T SLEEP??

Ahhh, I have this problem almost every nite. I take a nap during the day and can't seem to sleep. So here I sit, online looking for something to do. I think I have too much energy sometimes. I'm totally full of it and I don't know how to handle it sometimes. I think I need ridalin. That is probably why I don't pay very good attention in class and such. I try really hard, Promise! But, oh well. That is why I am a C student, just your average, ordinary, hard-worker. I hate that, but I never seem to do better. I think I have figured a remedy to falling asleep though. CANDLES! Light some of those babys that smell real nice, like apples or pumpkin spice are my favorite. They seem to relax the room and put you in a state of comfort and relaxation. They help!! If you have a better solution, tell me!!

I'm a model, and it is extremely hard to do. I am 5'1 and not tall enough to do runway, but still not tall enough to do great posing. So, what do I do? I stay positive that no matter what, I can do it!! Modeling is not about being tall, it is being a role model for your peers and showing them that no matter who you are, you are beautiful in your own way, and with your FLAWS! Such as scars, they tell a story about you, don't be afraid to show them off! Any kind of flaw is a story about your life and we should celebrate ourselves! I model because I like to show my personality and who I am to other people, its my way of being "taller than the crowd" haha, that is my perspective. I also do modeling, because for once I have done something and accomplished a task. I never finished my cheerleading, or my tumbling, or my dance classes, my parents were too busy so I am fulfilling a dream that I have so I can look back and say, "Yeah, I really did that :)." If you have a similar experience or feel the same, please let me know! I always respond to anyone that talks to me, so share your thoughts!
