i made a bike!

i made this entirely in html/css. it isn't an image when it's live. YES!

(and yes, it IS green glitter.. i want this bike!)

anyhow, school this quarter started last week and i'll say.. it's going to be so much more time consuming/difficult than last quarter. holy -javascript - batman! HOWEVER, i'm getting so much closer to my goal of getting that good paying job.. and i can really see the light at the end of the tunnel. or whatever. cliches annoy me.

my heart is good.

my child is good.

we've both been relatively healthy. (well, luke was almost hospitalized a few weeks ago.. but he's much better).

i've made luke a deal. if he learns to read, he can get his own computer.  i know that sounds extreme and expensive.. but let me say. the kid can do math better than anyone in his class however, when it comes to learning sight words? he could care less. he thinks it's boring and trying to get him to read a book ? he cries. like i'm killing him.. he cries.

so. bribing him to learn to read? perfect. and anyway, reading will take another year or so (plenty of time to save up) AND he'll have to have a computer the way the school system is these days anyway. so, win win. 

good day.

new years resolutions.

1. finish the circus.  hopefully around 5th quarter. i'm entering 3rd quarter now.. so we will see! this is super exciting to me..
2. get a good paying job. enough to begin paying off debt and owning a place for luke and i. 
3. be better with money. save save save. dave ramsey.
4. move out/move away. this is contingent on finishing the circus and finding the good paying job. hopefully an opportunity will open up for me in richmond, va. ooo i hope so.
5. be healthier. eat healthier, drink water, drink only 1 coke a day. i think this will help my thyroid stabilize and my hair grow back in.
6. try embracing being a lady. ie- wearing earrings and frilly stuff. maybe even wedges?
7. be happy. try new things.

there.

Happy birthday to ME

Whew!! I had cake with my family, my brother was in town so we took photos in engagement poses (haha), I went to Atlanta and hung out with friends.. I had waaaayyyy too much fun!

Christmas 2012.

Christmas 2012 = Success.

I hope you all had a fabulous day!

Merry.

Have a lovely holiday, guys.

f it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. sometimes, it’s the only way.

picture heavyyyyy

holy crap! i've been busy.

finals, two christmas parties, kid was almost hospitalized, etc... i guess pictures will explain better.

for tradition's sake, laila and i lost our minds while studying for our 

programming final and did this silly photo shoot. (lexi joined us!)

yep.. this happened (a lot). 2nd quarter in the bag!

so after finishing up my last final, i came home in the middle of the night to a kid 

with lungs not moving air well. . 

so, the doctor it was. it took 2 one hour treatments to allow us to leave the doctor. 

she even said had i not been used to this, she would have hospitalized him. 

that night, he really wanted to do something christmas related. 

however, being outside wasn't an option. christmas lights drive-thru 

at chik fila did the trick.

this cutie was given to a sweet family with two young girls.

he's so adorable.

ah! i've lost quite a few pounds! success!

i took this at a retail complex. this was after the sandy hook shooting.

tragic.

i ate two chocolates and both had the same thing inside.

hmmmmm...

we had a mom and luke day date.

i was so nice and long overdue.

i always forget how hilarious he is.

oh, and we christmas-ified the house.

a little car nap in the parking lot of the school before panel.

laila, lauren, and i at our secret santa christmas party.

laila's awesome present to me!!!

ugly christmas sweater party at fado! great times.

my sleeping friends in atlanta.

merry christmas!
