Just an update!

So not too much is going on but I still wanted to write a blog so I am updating this page on a regular basis.


Work: right now it really sux! I go to work and don't know what I am doing. I am always getting traded off in different departments and end up doing dumb tedious stuff and it makes my day go by so slow. I really need to find a new job if it doesn't get better. I really want to take my manager's job. She is dumb and its super easy and I keep suggesting things to her to make things a bit more organized and not misplacing ppls things but she never takes my advice. Oh well... I am on the hunt!


Personally: I still have no real friends in VA. It sux. I think I'm at least ok to hang out with. I just want to have fun and have ppl over and have some drink and play some poker. Its really hard to like this place with no friends. I am starting at NOVA (northern VA community college) in the fall and I can't wait! I hope to meet some new people and learn alot more. I have never been to college and I know its just community college but I am super excited.


Patrick and I are still good. We just passed our 1 year together. I love him so much and I really want to get married. I have been excited and kinda eager lately cuz we have been talking about it more, even his mom brings it up and wants to take me dress shopping but still no ring. I know we are kinda tight on money right now so I can understand why he is waiting. I think I bug him about it too much tho and I really need to tone it down abit before he changes his mind. HEHEHE...


Physically: BLAH! My smoothie idea didn't work out too well. Why does everything taste better when someone else makes it? I have been trying to cut back on alot tho. I am not putting mayo on my sandwiches and really cutting down on cheese. I am so exhausted from work and taking care of India by the time I get to work out I am too tired. Its not working too well but I am still hopeful. I do feel like I am eating better tho.


I want a make over! I really need to get my eyebrows done, they need some shape to them. Not too skinny or anything but more like...




that. I wish I had a girl friend to go with tho ya know? I don't even know where good places are to go get them done. I also want to get my hair done. After looking at some pictures of me and seeing my hair from behind it wasn't pretty. It looks just dead and the blond from before is showing through so I need to do something about it. I really want to go for a Jennifer Garner look. Such as...



I want it to grow more too. I feel like my hair is on a stand still. I miss my porno hair! I guess I will just have to wait.

Sweet Tooth!

If you really know me, you must know that I have a huge sweet tooth! So for me its really hard to diet with out something sweet. I am not huge or anything but I would like to loose a few stubborn pounds. I have come to the conclusion that the best way for me to do this with my sweet tooth is SMOOTHIES!

I went to the store yesterday and got all the things I need for my smoothies. I bought a brand new blender a few weeks ago (mainly for my margaritas lol). I bought some not fat vanilla yogurt, bunch of bags of frozen fruit and I didn't buy it yesterday but I plan on getting some whey protein to add to my smoothies. I plan on replacing two of my meals (breakfast and lunch) with smoothies and then eating a sensible dinner. I am also going to start doing my tae-bo.

Ok but that's not even my point in this blog, I really wrote it to tell you all what else I got at the store. Since I am not really starting my diet until Monday I decided to grab some ice cream since I have been craving it for so long. I opened the freezer door at the store in the Ben and Jerry's isle and there it was...



OMG!!! I love Cinnamon rolls or anything that tastes like it...so I thought what better than ice cream that tastes like cinnamon rolls. I don't know if you can read it in the picture but it is... Carmel ice cream with cinnamon bun dough and cinnamon streusel swirls. I was sorta hesitant that it would be too much and not that great but I took it home anyway. I got it out not too long after I got home and fell in love with the first bite. It taste just like cinnamon rolls but ice cream! I am in love and just thought you'd like to know. hehehe...

I recommend this to anyone who loves sweets like I do!

Camping at the Lake!

So I went on a vacation...something I really haven't done in a long while. Patrick's family gets together every year and goes to Tennessee to South Holston Lake and camps. Patrick's dad just bought a new ski boat and got to take it out for the first time on the lake! I had never really been on a lake in a boat or anything so it was really exciting for me! I think I might even like it better than the beach, there is no nasty sand that gets everywhere, the water is cleaner and not all salty, and it wasn't too cramped like a lot of beaches get, plus I think there is a lot more you can do on a lake than on a beach.

I tried to water ski but even though it looks so easy its pretty hard to get up the first time. You need a lot of muscle in your legs to keep the skis together. I was also slung around on an inner-tube and some sorta float thing pulled by the boat, that was so fun even when it went to fast that we got thrown off! I got enough bruises and scrapes and a sunburn to show for it too!

India had a blast too! I got to meet more of Patrick's family and I really feel apart of it...I LOVE IT! I couldn't ask for anything better!

Here are some pics:

That's all for now. I have to get more Pics from his parents and sister and I will most likely be posting those on myspace soon! Take Care!

Welcome to my blog...Please enjoy!

Welcome to my new blog! I know I have a Myspace and all but my blog on there has gotten a bit down so I decided to start fresh!

I guess I should start off with a little about me. I am a young mom who just moved to Virginia from California with the love of my life Patrick. I am having a harder time than I thought but I am trying to find the best of it all. I just met Patrick's parents and sister when I moved here and they have been my family and that is so nice since I really never felt that before.

My daughter is named India, and she is a very extraordinary two year old. She is my everything and more. She is so adorable and smart and caring, I think its a huge reflection of me and I am so proud. Everything I do, I do for her.

Right now I am working in small part of a moving company called Capital Records (No not the record label). I am still on the fence with my job but I really see how I can grow in the company and I am focusing on learning more. I plan on going to Community College here in VA to get a degree as a graphic artist. I feel that when I accomplish that I will have finally met a huge life goal.

I am a mother, a student, a hard worker, I'm in love and just trying to enjoy my "new" life.
