Pictures.

For months now my Mother has been bugging me to put together picture's of my cousin so she can go & get some prints to frame. I don't wanna say I haven't wanted to do it, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I rather just push the thought's out of my mind, because I knew if I went thru the pictures I would "crumble" I guess you could say. So I waited. I waited until I knew that I could go thru them without "crumbling."

I decided to go ahead & do it tonight since it's been literally months. I didn't "crumble," but it wasn't easy either. It's still one of those surreal things. But the card is filled with the good pictures I had. So now tomorrow or this week my Mother can go & make her prints. The good thing out of finally doing it is that I thought of a lot of good memories. Memories that will help me get thru this.

Coming Soon.

As you all know my job is from a staffing agency which means that it is temporary. Ever since I started I never really knew how long I would be there. What I did realize was that no matter how much everyone liked me they would not be able to hire someone on full time. Yes I work there full time, but I mean as a permanent employee. I honestly haven't really gave much thought to when the time came that my assignment would end.

Well the time has come! No worries tho! My agency has something already lined up they want me to interview for! Yes I was a little sad, because I have bonded and made friends with all my co-workers. But I know as small as this world is I will most likely run into them some how some way. So it's not so bad. One thing is for sure is that I will keep in contact with my co-worker! She is too crazy & I know she will txt me to check up on me.

Like I said I'm a little sad but I know that better opportunities await!

Jersey.

So every week I have been checking the NFL shop to see if they have my size in the Minnisota Vikings jersey, and they NEVER DO! WTH! Obviously it's a popular buy so why don't they make more of them?! I have been waiting for my size to be available for almost 3 months! WTH NFL SHOP! I feel like writing an angry email or something lol. I doubt it will help but I'd MAYBE feel better. Okay I won't, but still lol!

So let me explain the importance of the jersey. My cousin Lucas, who passed away, LOVED the Vikings. Even more than the Cowboy's lol! When he was younger he played pee wee football for, you guessed it, the Vikings. His jersey number was 50! One time when my cousin had a seizure and his brother had called 911 we went over to check on him and when he was coming out of it the first thing he started talking about was the Vikings. He truly loved football.

For the this jersey is more than a shirt to wear on Sunday's; it's a memory, a story of something more....of us 2 bonding over something we both had in common. He always bugged me about ordering one to wear this coming season so for him I am! Well when they get my size! I'm getting the white instead of the purple, so far, with the number 50 & for the name Sky Walker. My cousin loved Star Wars & his name was Lucas. Pretty self explanatory!

So NFL Shop hurry up and get my size in!

Eat before you are hungry. If you plan your meal before hunger strikes you will make healthier choices.

The Little Match Girl.

Found this short randomly so I decided to watch it.  Man was it good & sad.  I cried!  It's like 6 min long, but it's sweet & meaningful.  Recommended watch!

Fit Tip Tuesday.

Need a quick way to tone your arms? Pump out a few sets of tricep dips! Using a chair or bench, sit on the edge with your elbows pointing behind you. Extend your legs out and lower yourself up and down the edge of the chair, focusing on using your triceps to power your move. Keep your chest up and look straight ahead. Your arms will look and feel instantly tighter!

Upgrade.

So I finally joined the ranks of 4G & android phones. After some careful thought my brother & I decided we needed to get with the program lol. So after long discussions of changing service providers & what exactly we wanted, we finally upgraded. It took a few weeks, but now I have an awesome phone lol! Presenting my new "baby"

Spiffy huh? At least I think so. I wanted to get the new Samsung Galaxy 2, but decided not to spend the extra $$$ when I could get the LG MyTouch for practically free. Plus I hear they are already coming out with the Galaxy 3. So far I'm satisfied. I haven't used the internet yet since my plan won't fully change till tomorrow. Once it kicks in I will really be testing it out! Having a mini computer with me 24/7 is not good! LOL!

Bad enough I'm addicted to texting so now being able to access Twitter & Facebook all day is not going to be good! I'm going to try my best to be good about it though, I promise! Today at work everyone was making fun of me, because I left the plastic cover on the phone with all the labels lol. I didn't want to already scratch my screen so I left it on until i bought some screen protectors! Which I went today & picked some up & some ear buds!

Simple. Black. Match my phone. My brother also got the same phone so I bought him a pair too but he got the blue ones. They work pretty good & they have the cushion on the buds so I don't have to worry about them hurting the inside of my ear! Next up is our phone cases! I found them really cheap on Amazon! For under 7 bucks I got 2 black jelly/silicone type cases! At T-Mobile they wanted $25 a case! I'm a little hesitant since they were so cheap online so when I get them in I'm hoping there not some piece of crap! But on the bright side if they are I didn't waste too much on them!

I'm ready to kick some 4G booty! LOL!

Frizzy Hair?

Home beauty experts swear by avocado—and not just to repair damaged hair. Its oils (which are light and moist like our own natural skin secretions) and proteins boast the best combination of nutrients for smoothing and weighing down unruly hair.

To Use: Mash up half an avocado and massage into clean, damp hair. Let sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with water. Amp up moisturizing power by combining mashed avocado with 1 to 2 Tbsp of a hydrating ingredient, like sour cream, egg yolks or mayonnaise. Treatment can be applied every two weeks.

Fit Tip Tuesday.

Learn to read (The ingredients)! Before you put anything in your mouth read the ingredients! If the first few are things like fructose, sucrose, maltodextrin or hydrogenated anything, skip it! It is not food, it is a food-like substitute.

So......

Today I went & bought another shampoo! I KNOW I KNOW! It makes 8 bottles, but I needed it! I needed a clarifying shampoo! Don't now what that is? Well it's a shampoo that removes the residue from other hair products you might use. It basically cleans out the hair!

It'a an inexpensive brand that I bought at Walgreens for a dollar! No harm done to my pocket! I also bought a Rimmel lipstick that was on sale for $2.49! Couldn't resist! It's normally almost 6 bucks! I think the drugstore is my new best friend for make up! A few weeks ago I bought 3 pretty nail polishes with the salon brush for $3.98! They are only $1.99 each but still I got 3! LOL! Okay okay enough about my guilty pleasures lol!
