TAG: 7 Random Things About Me

I was tagged by my EX co-worker/friend... sha.. wait she will kill me if I type what I really call her soooo we shall say... @ConvertingMe of Converting a Spendthrift. :) I have been racking my brain as to what I can say about me! :)


From what I understand of the rules: I am to list 7 random things about yourself and answer a couple of questions. 




1. I have an addiction to Cafe World game on Facebook. It is almost shameful that I play this game so much but I do. I will play for hours on end like I have nothing else to do. (OKAY I know I stole this but it is sooo true for me!) PS-- can you plz find me, friend me, neighbor me, and send me stuff?! :) LOL



2. I am half mexican and WISH I could speak spanish. Sometimes I listen to spanish radio stations and pretend to know what they are saying. It sucks because I can't even have a conversation with my 100 year old great- grandmother since she ONLY speaks spanish! :'(  

3. I am from Cali!! I wish I stayed... sometimes I feel like I wouldn't have gained so much weight if I stayed there.... but I still love myself regardless.... it's just an observation. In Cali there is a smoothie king, starbucks, something healthy on EVERY corner as opposed to DC where there is a nail shop, liquor store, and corner store (chinese, anything and everything FRIED) on EVERY CORNER! grrr...... 




4. I have the WORST road rage EVER!!!!!!!!! I swear that my whole persona changes when I am behind the wheel. I acknowledge and am working on it..... #justsayin




 5. I have lived on my own for almost 10 years and I will be living near my mom for the first time in 10 YEARS! I don't know how I feel about it yet.... excited... but nervous at the same time! :)

6. I like being a girl. I am still the BIGGEST tomboy ever. I LOVE being outside and "tinkering" LOL but I have a new found love of makeup, haircare, clothes, etc. It is crazy when I look back at where I was and where I am now...

7.  I LOVE heels, but I feel like I don't walk in them "sexy"enough so I secretly practice ALL the time infront of the mirror at home... and pretend that I am uber sexy and get it IN! :)

My Grandma isn't she Fabulous! :)

OMG... How COuld I forget! I CUT MY HAIR

How could I NOT share my haircut with you all. I am so sorry!!! It has been 2 weeks. I cut off so much hair and had it thinned out. My hair was so heavy I had constant headaches.  ANYWAY! I used my heat pass for the month and I got to see how long my hair really was! It was longer then I thought it was!

So on a much better note, I love the fact that my hair was so straight that I almost never wanted to wear my hair curly again! SO I am fighting with myself about using heat or not.... I don't know. Either way, enjoy the pics! :)


PS-- I saw some new makeup looks that I want to try!

It took 2 people to dry my hair!

Blow dried to a puff :)

All falat ironed-- now to work-- cut

It is all gone now

Possibly a small wig for someone

What do you think?

All done, and I feel kind of cute!

Eye make up coming soon?!

My Phone has been DESTROYED

Okay so Let me begin by saying It's not my fault. Those that know me... know that I am not GREAT with phones at all.... BUT I loved this phone SO MUCH that I have not needed to replace it for almost a YEAR!!! I was so proud of myself! I was so excited. I can't explain to you how I knew that I was about to break my phone BUT I somehow knew.

From the beginning, my friend had a funeral to go to yesterday and I picked up her son (3 years old) from day care. We then went to go pick up my son from daycare. When I was standing in the daycare struggling to greet my son, keep my "other son" from running away to play with new toys, AND having to sign the paper for receipts etc. I realized I do NOT have pockets on these pants. DAG I should have left my phone in the car.... Oh well we are here now.. deal with it... So I gather all of my things and retreat to the car. My "other son" went to open the gate and I said pull he is pushing... I say let me help... his reply: NO I CAN DO IT... So I was like okay it is important for him to learn... after 3 unsuccessful attempts I step in... he then stepped back bumps into me....

NOW in that split second I had a decision to make.... drop my child (non walking at that) OR drop the best phone I have ever had and risk it breaking....

you tell me what decision I made: 

 I am not made but I am blown to learn there is a $100 deductible to get a new phone, I can't see ANYTHING on the screen, I am struggling to remember what apps I had on my phone, what numbers did I save to the phone. HOPING that the important numbers are saved to my Gmail as a back up....

WELL we shall see when I get a new phone... Until than... my calls have been redirected. 

Miserable until my replacement appears:

PS-- If I have MORE trouble with my new phone I am going to rethink my contract with Sprint. #justsaying
