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.

i want this. bad.

my sleeping friends in atlanta.

merry christmas!

im sick. boooo.

things you want to say to an ex // your views on mainstream music

blog challenge topic today makes me a bit hesitant. something i'd like to say to ex? .. it's all been said before and thankfully, i'm past it.  so i'm going to bypass this topic and skip to the next. there's nothing i'd really say that needs to be said. no hard feelings with any of them.

so. next topic.  views on mainstream music. 

as i get older, i find myself knowing more mainstream music than i used to. i went through that, "i'm too cool for pop music" phase. but whatever. i can embrace the crappy synthesizers and computer vocals. i guess.

but not nickelback. sick. or anyone that has vocals like his.

and rap-rock. kid rock? but now he's country? no. bon jovi on the country station now? shame.

but i loooooove kings of leon, gotye, kanye west, jay-z, the lumineers, taylor swift.. etc. so. i'm ok with it. 

the line stops at bieber. ew. and rhianna. although that birthday cake song is good.

i'm a contradiction.

bullet your whole day.

• luke walks in my room around 9am, talking talking talking, and waking me up. he climbs in my bed.
• we snuggle and he watches youtube videos.
• he asks for breakfast, i decide breakfast in bed.
• i nap through his saturday morning cartoons.
• when they're over, i wake up, check my email, facebook, texts, phone calls, instagram, and whatever else i'm connected to.
• we get out of bed and on this particular day, my mom is off so we talk a while and i help her get our christmas tree out of the garage.
• 2pm we put the christmas tree together 
• i give luke his lunch and hop in the shower.
• i throw my clothes in the dryer to get the wrinkles out and start putting on my makeup, getting ready to go to work.
• get dressed, go get gas, come home.
• give lukester and puppies kisses and bid farewell.
• head to target by 3:45... and work/text until 11:30pm.
• hollar. i'm off . 
• get home and can't make it out of the car yet. i check my email/perezhiltion and have a moment to myself in my car.
• 12pm get out of the car, give piper a snack, and head to the shower.
• now i'm in bed writing this and about to do final projects.

yess.

what a fabulous life i lead.
