Time Flies!

& to think my little mama has gotten so big & she's not even a year yet. I was going through my phone while I was thinking about "Goodness I've had my .com for three years now" & realized, time actually flies. I look through these pictures of my little one & I realized that no matter what you can't change anything, but love the memories that you have, embrace them.

When I first created my .com I was using Tumblr as my host. Later on I realized I wanted something a bit more personal & moved my .com to Blogger. Although I have been the ultimate slacker, I can't help but enjoy having a .com. It is my own, my own space whenever my mind wants to run free. It's the place where I can turn to & share things, or give things (if I have things to give away). lol. I owe so many people so many things for just being there & thanks to my .com it's brought some amazing folks into my life.

Three years later, some memories that come with it & even a few tears, I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. You live & you learn. I wish there was a way to show my blogs "growth" from then to now like I can with Mizi, but Mizi is far cuter than my blog & easier on the eyes! lolll.

With all of my rambles done & said, thank you all for your support. For being readers, for trying to keep me motivated & making sure that my mind is used to it's fullest potential.

Class of 2012!

I have to say this has to be one of the happiest days of my life. I can put together a few, but watching my little brother graduate definitely reached the top of my list. He is brilliant, absolutely handsome & as he said we have a connection, this bond, that are like a pair of twins. He is my little big twin!

Exhausted does not even begin to explain what I feel because of this day, but all in all today was the perfect way to spend it. Half a day, all to go & drive to Pennsylvania to see him in his cap & gown, get his diploma & throw his hat in the air in celebration. The only unfortunate thing was that he felt really sick because he didn't eat, & I can relate to the same feeling. Other than that we spoke about college, his plans, how he wants me involved & just telling him I am too damn proud.

Sidenote: We were talking & he said "Hi" to some little hoochies & they were giggling up a storm all because he said HI! Like chill little chicks get a grip!

Anyways,

As you can see I was ecstatic! I wouldn't have ever missed this day for the world. I didn't cry, but I got emotional & I am just a proud big sister.

To my #1 man, my little brother, my twin;

I couldn't be happier! I am proud of you & I know your mom & our dad will not understand us at all. They won't understand the pressure they put on you, but I understand. You are loving, understanding & open minded. Your mom & Reg raised you well & Dad threw in a little something something lol. Just know that no matter what it is, whether you want to vent to me or just laugh it up, I am here. I am glad you feel comfortable enough to turn to me, to be honest with me. We have a relationship a lot of brothers & sisters can never even relate to. We are on in a kind!

I love you more than you will even know & I'd give you the world & more if I can.

My Monkey!

My Monkey! a photo by Ahlexandria on Flickr.

This is Noah. :) Remember the beautiful KD?! Well this is her son, my godson, my darling monkey. He was over here this weekend & we ended up walking to pick up my camera. WOO! Got my camera back, got to mess with it & got this picture of my little boobee!

Just figured I'd share him with everyone & the picture I ended up loving of him being 1 month old this past Saturday. Kids grow up so fast....I see it by the pictures of some of the bloggers lovely children. Ay!


Happy Tuesday everyone!

Versatile Blogger Award...WHAT THE?!

I honestly didn't expect to be nominated for anything due to my lack of posts. But, I'm glad to know that Dari still has faith in me & continues to read whatever posts I do randomly post up. So thank you to Dari for my nomination entirely. (Click her name to follow her).


Award Rules:
- Nominate fellow bloggers
- Inform the bloggers of their nomination
- Share 7 random things about yourself
- Thank the blogger who nominated you
- Add the Versatile BloggerAward Pic on your blog post



Facts...dear ol' facts:
To try & think of some that aren't already in my 'About Me'....

• I always love to learn new things, although not all are interesting, gaining knowledge is key to success.
• As bad as my kitten is (Mizi is still under a year old), I love her more than I could have imagined to love a cat...aside from Hello Kitty.
• I try to juggle more than I can, but it's because I get bored easily of one thing & have to be on the up & up.
• I'm the ultimate slacker of blogging & the crazy thing is I actually love doing it. Clearly just not enough to get posts out there huh?! lol.
• I'm on to give someone the benefit of the doubt until it completely just goes down the drain.
• I'm very protective of the ones I love & although tiny, my mouth is large enough to say a lot of hurtful things.
• Lately I've realized that I have to just take it for what it all is.

I want to nominate people & keep this flowing, but I also don't want to insult anyone if they aren't included in my nominations. So I have decided to nominate people who need the motivation just as I do & hopefully this will be a good reason to blog more. Shoot it's given me good reason!

- Steff     - Lee     - Bri     - Alexis     - Sam     - Cindia

I hope they blog more after this. :)

Thank you again Dari for the nomination.

Slackers Of All Slackers!

The sunset along the beach of our hotel (RIU Guanacaste) Costa Rica.

Can't deny how much of a blogging slacker I am. But what can I say...I get busy, I get lost, there are times that I just don't know what to say. I've been trying to figure out what to write about but honestly what is it that will keep readers interested? Then I remember, BE MY DAMN SELF! So here I go making all the attempts again....

My golden birthday was on the 24th of May. Golden birthday = the year you turn the age of the date you were born. To think that I'm really 24...lets hope I can look 21 & under. lol. As always I go away with my friend Milly, as tradition, to a new country each year. This year Steff came along with us which was pretty damn fun. I always plan where to go & what I love is that who I travel trusts where I choose & are always down for it! This year I chose Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is a country filled of rain forests, volcanoes, friendly people & beautiful wildlife. It was interesting to learn that they do not have four seasons like we do, but two. They have a dry season where everything is brown, then a rainy season where it can rain for four days straight. We ended up going during the cusp of both of their seasons. So while we were there it did rain, but we definitely ended up catching plenty of sun. Not only did we tan, we enjoyed our all inclusive drinks by the pool & unlimited food. Steff even built up the courage to zipline through the rain forest, which included a close to a mile long water slide in the rain forest, horse back riding to the other side of the rain forest & a spa like finale. We were literally in the steam of the volcano, then put mud all over us, to wash up & dip in the warm pool waters heated by the volcano. Wonderful way to end the trip.

If you don't travel you have to! It's one thing I do for my own sanity & to explore the world. Next year who knows where we'll end up going, but I do know I'm excited for little trips around the U.S. throughout this year.

Hopefully this was a good way to come back to my blog. More to come this week, including pictures.

Talk to you all soon. Hope all is well.
