Just Got Paid, It's Friday Night...

    I meant to go out and shop on my own today. The time has flown by though. I think I'm bout to rush and put something on. Then maybe even treat myself to Applebee's! Yesss. N.B. just texted me, maybe he can come along. Then, I can get the 2 for $20 deal. Hmmm....

   As an early birthday [May 22] gift to myself, I was planning to buy this. Ima have to wait a week or two more, but I'm excited. =] I saw it on the commercial with Beyonce, but I wasn't sold til I played my little cousin's. So much fun and portable. Can you say fun on the go?

Speaking of that, here is my little cousin and I. I look cross-eyed or something for some reason in this and don't mind the off-key singing and my dance-face. Hehe. Who cares? We had fun! Enjoy.

Bounce!

This.Christmas

And This Christmas...
was a very special Christmas indeed. I hope the same goes for you and yours. Thanks for all the 'Merry Christmas' wishes!

Anywho, I didn't get back home yesterday til' like 2-ish in the morn. Cali [code-name] and I started shopping around like 11. I don't have to tell you how crazy it was out there. I got some sweeeet deals, including the $10 off purchase at JCPennys. Score! Haha. I managed to get 12/14 people on my recipient list a gift. I think I will pick up something for the last two later. I was sooo excited, not about the amount of money I spent [which was an all-time high] , but my family and friends' reactions. Especially my Grandma...she loves CokeCola, but I noticed she didn't have any in the fridge. I decided to buy a 12 pack and wrap it as part of her gift. When I gave her the gift, she shook it a little and said, "This is exactly what I need! Haha. Sho nuff is." Made my day right there.

All in all, the gifts were good, the food was good, the day was good. Thank God for that, you know. There are some many things that we have to deal with and worry about, but today was different. It's about the blessing of the day and the opportunity to be with people you love. I guess thats how it changes when you get older. As a child, you just focus on what you're gonna get. As you get older, you become excited about the things, time, and love you will share.

After my sister and I finished tripping out at my Aunt's house, I head to Cali's Aunt house, as I promised to do. He really had me in suspense about what he got me. After I open the gift from his mom, which is a bath set I plan to break in soon, he gave me the gift. I started to unwrap it...jewelry box. I opened it...I knew it either had to be earrings or a ring. It was a ring...well, promise ring, which he has yet to share the promise with me. His family started to trip me out. They were picking at us. Haha.

Man, I tell you...sometimes I feel like he deserves better, but God forbid that our relationship should end. I really do appreciate and love the guy...not for the materialistic things, but the way he finds a way to love me despite alllll my flaws. Thats something special there.

But...let me get off this computer...I'm still at Cali's.
Post pictures laterrr. God bless! =]

Are you photogenic?

My friends tell me I am. Then I look sideways. If photogenic means you have to take about 100+ photos, then you may have 0-5 good pictures out of that set...welp, then I can be considered photogenic. Haha.

My bestie (miss him) and I were discussing this...we both agree that we only have good pictures when we take it ourselves. I mean when someone snaps a pic of me...more often than not, I don't like em. Haha. I usually make faces or throw up the bunny sign...can't go wrong with that. Plus, I just like making faces and throwing up the bunny sign so...

Posted are a few pics that made the "cut." I think I look skinnier than usual in these, hence the title.

This Evening I Woke Up...

...and I really didn't get anything accomplished. When I got up, my moms and sis were walking in with groceries. So, I helped put them up. They also brought Zaxby's! How nice!

Couldn't eat it all, got full quick. After which, I decided to go ahead flat iron my hair. I was looking like Denise off the Cosby Show. Everyone can't pull that look off...including me.

I did not get any visiting done. I know I need to go see Cali [code-name] and his fam, but I just wasn't feeling it...well the driving there part. I enjoy chillin there. Doesn't feel awkward like the ex-boyfriend's house or anything like that. It's like they adopted me right into the fam. Plus, his mom can cooook! =] Always a plus.

Anyway, I text and arranged for him to come get me tomorrow. So I shall be at his house most of the day. That is after I go with my G-ma to the cemetery to put some flowers on G-pa's grave. I usually would make a fuss, but eh...I wasn't bothered to go. I know she needs/wants someone to go with her. 

Hm, I need to get my Christmas recipient list done. Cali and I should be going shopping Wednesday. Luckily, I'm not the only person who has yet to buy gifts. Haha. Hm, I reckon I'm gonna get him some polos. I'm not sure if I'm going to get The Baller [code-name] a gift. I'll tinker about that.

My mom gave me this today... She told me "You need this...see, it has an angel on it." Few days back she had to help me through one of my episodes. So, I knew what she meant. I really appreciate her being there for me. It's a candle holder if you were guessing. I know you may be thinking, "So what?! Its just a candle holder." Of course, it has no meaning to you, but I love gifts like this. It's not about the money behind it, but the thought.
