The company you keep

Someone once told me that everyone is in your life for a season and a reason, and the seasons are definitely changing. Since moving away from home, my friend count has been limited slim to none. Here recently a whole new set of people have been brought into my life, and its just crazy to see the difference between the "old friends" and "new friends." Don't get me wrong, new friends aren't better than old friends and old friends aren't better than new ones. But the new friends are a completely different type of people. And by different i mean dope. The company that you keep should be the type of company that you can learn, grow, and build with. That company should be the type that helps you develop yourself instead of bringing negative energy all the time. The new friends are just that type of people. Take for example, we (me, Nancy and Sarah) were at a liquor store trying to get change for door for Cphr Dvn release party, we each had one item and a 20$ bill. Of course the goal is to get as many ones as possible. The first problem when making our purchases was that the clerk didn't give the correct change back. when Sarah corrected the man, to me, it seemed like he got an attitude because he was corrected and then when he did give her the correct change he threw it at her on the counter. Now to me, when i have my hand out for you to put my change in and you put it on the counter, that irritates me. But when you throw it down like he did, that was just disrespectful. Keeping in mind that this man behind the counter was of a different background, and from what i know of his people, women are not on the same level as men. So in his mind he may have thought it was OK to do that, who knows he may put all females money on the counter instead of handing it to them. Now had i been with anyone else, the conversation when walking out would have been about how disrespectful that was and so on. But instead, it was about how nice it was for him to give us the change, and how thankful they were that he did. i was thinking about that and it made me realize that i am on a different wave length than the company i was in. I also realized upon conversing with Sr, that i tend to have a negative tone about alot of things. That's something i need to work on because the energy that you put out is going to be the energy the universe gives back, and if i continue on the negative path, then things will continue to be the way that they are now. So maybe with the new company that i have, i learn more, not only from them but about myself also. Here's to a new journey.

Cousin fun

This past weekend, we took a family trip to the yew dell gardens to go see the train exhibit and to explore this new place we've never been before. I heard on the news radio station that there was a train exhibit going on here, so i decided to round up the gang to go. And  by the gang, i mean team weaver, coco and Mikey. Mikey is Jr's little cousin by 4 months. When we go to the botanical gardens, we got to see the trains, Santa and walk the grounds to see what in the spring time, I'm sure is a very beautiful sight to see. The boys absolutely loved watching the trains. I knew this would be a good thing to go do, because there is at train set that is around the Christmas tree at Jr's day care and we have to stop and look at it every morning for at least 5 minutes.

 After looking at the trains, we went and saw Santa. Mikey ran straight up to Santa with no problems. Jr on the other hand was a little bit more of a struggle. After he saw Santa give Mikey a candy cane, that kinda helped coax him to go sit with Santa. This is actually the first picture i have of Jr with Santa, im glad he likes to take pictures.

 Once we got some candy from santa, we decided to just walk the grounds of the botanical gardens. I mean i did pay to get in here, so im about to get my monies worth. I am actually excited to go back during the spring to see all of the plants and flower in bloom. Good times with family, cant ask for more.

ok im going to be better.. for real this time

ok ok ok, i know my last post i said i was going to be better about my posting.. yeah.. that was 3 months ago. lol i know im bad. but here i am again.. back at it.

so i am also starting up another blog, this one is from the prospective of a musicians wife. my husband has been doing music for as long as ive known him, and here within the past 6 months, things have really started taking off for him. Hes been making alot of good connections, and getting to asked to play more shows. His  facebook page has been getting more likes, and his soundcloud is getting more plays and even has free downloads. if you are currently reading this, i want you to go to his soundcloud play a few tracks and post a comment on here and let me know what you think. please feel free to tell a friend about both of his pages and also my new blog as well.

continued it shall be..

ok so let me first start out by saying i am so excited for the Sons of Anarchy season, its ridiculous. The premiere started out kinda slow and then picked up with in the last 30 minutes of the hour and a half long episode. I think i may have had high standards since i was kind of disappointed with last seasons finale. But none the less, i will be tuned in every tuesday, fighting my sleep to stay awake for the whole episode. :) now that ive expressed my <3 for that outlaw club, let me continue on.

i know i have kind of strayed from posting about my lovely journey as a mother to this continually growing child of mine. This little boy is 2 yrs and 4 months, he has been moved out of the 2 year old class he was in and put into the 2 going on 3 year old class. he was just too far ahead of everyone in his previous class. This child stands to my hip bone, and is now starting to talk. and when i say talk it is the "whats this?" "I want" "look mommy" etc. it blows my mind how fast this little boy is growing. some times i just feel like i cant take it. lol this is him writing with his chalk today on the porch.


I have also realized that i am that mother that loves to have the sleep overs and other kids over my house for jr to play with. I have had a coworkers child over twice, while they went out. Jr has come to love these times just as i thought he would. Him and his friend O were having a blast, and ended up taking over my bed  

 also just as an update, i have cut my lovely lady locks off. i actually combed them out then chopped off all my hair. whaddya think?

Horray for today!!!

i have been waiting for this day for a whole year now!! today is the season premiere of one of my favorite shows. Sons of Anarchy will be on in less than 20 minutes. Now if only i can get jr to pass out so i can enjoy my show in peace all my prayers will be answered. this will be continued

D.I.Y. queen in the making

Thanks to my new found hobby of pinning, i have found a recipe to make my own laundry soap. I remember my mom saying she made some and was very happy with her batch. So i found the recipe and decided to make my own as well. I made all of this with 3 ingredients that cost me less than $10.00 total. And because its so concentrated its going to last longer than a regular box you would buy from the store. My mom said its supposed to last six months since you only use a table spoon per load. I can handle spending 10.00 for a six month supply! Here is the link to the recipe i used. Happy washing
