it's been awhile

sorry for my absence. i say that like so many people are reading this. i have been pretty busy. school is out. i've got four kids home with me. good times.

my dad came and watched my kids for me while i went to school. it took me two weeks. i know that's not a very long time but i didn't get a degree and i need to get to work as soon as i can. are you wondering what i have gone to school for? real estate. yes, i am aware that the market is not good, but i was presented with an opportunity and i took it. last week i took my state exam, and guess what? i passed. go me. yesterday i signed my contract to work for an agency and i should begin working within the next few weeks. ill try to be a better blogger.

ps i bought a cupcake cookbook. i can't wait to try out one of the recipes.

whole foods

i could wander through the store aimlessly all day. their fruits and veggies remind me of fine art with their vibrant colors and oh the beautiful flowers. the word organic actually excites me. i have issues, i know. and they have these cookies. they are called jumble cookies. OMG  that is all i can say. they have basically everything in them. my advice. find a whole foods, wander around the store for hours and reward yourself with a cookie

ps my dad has promised to help me with my life as long as i help myself first. today begins "operation help yourself." wish me luck.

eat pray love

i got the book last night. i was laughing by the second paragraph. im so happy i decided to watch oprah yesterday. julia roberts was on talking about her role in the movie adaptation of the book. and the movie looks like it will be awesome. i highly recommend you get the book.

ps i really want to get myself some japa malas. they are so beautiful.

a slight change of plans

i know, i know. i was gone a lot longer than expected. my 3 day get-a-way was great. but i came back to insanity. i kinda knew i would. my house was messy, my kids were crazier than normal but i was happy to be home safe and sound.

i got my tattoo. i left here with a plan of getting a cherry blossom tree up one side of my back. i came back with a not even close to being finished Buddha in a prayer position in the center of my back (covering a sad looking butterfly i no longer liked). my piece is going to be amazing!! the artist doing might be more excited about it then i am. check her out here i will post pics soooon.

ps my dad is here for a few days but i'll try to post anyway. happy friday.

take a deep breath

and relax. thats what i need to do. im very nervous. tomorrow im hopping on a jet plane and going to see my besties. im kinda freaking out cause i dont really like planes or what i should say is i dont like flying. im sure everything will be fine and ill be back here posting how awesome my trip was, but for now my nerves will get the best of me till i land tomorrow. so my sad little blog will be quiet for a few days. au revoir les amis.

ps tonight i went and got red highlights in my hair. im kinda lovin the way it looks

my new facination

i have a tendency for obsessing when i find something i like. my newest obsession? buddha, and all things asian. im actually contemplating becoming a buddhist. im not sure if i believe its a religion so much as a philosophy. i need to do more homework on the subject. in search of enlightenment. thats me.

ps im getting a tattoo on friday. im super excited.

a day for momma

its very cold and windy here this morning. not very spring-y. but its ok cause my hubby made me strawberry pancakes and mimosas for breakfast. and my children bought me cards and flowers. lobster tails might be on our dinner menu tonight (they are on sale yay!). all in all its a very nice mothers day. hope yours is happy too

ps dont forget to call your mom. mine called me this morning to tell me she'll be getting married for a 5th time next week. i have nothing to say about that.
