27 and better than ever!

my bday was friday..i turned 27...and it was a cool birthday...not what i expected...not sure how i feel about that...but you gotta roll with the punches right? i was expecting a quiet birthday...just real chill...but of course when you have all your info on various networking sites...well, you dont get quiet...basically my coworkers threw a surprise bday party for me...well, it was supposed to be a surpsrise, i ended up finding out the day of when i came into work...but its the thought that counts...i work with some of the sweetest people...i had planned on going home after work and chillin...but ended up at the bar and then an afterparty at my place....i had 4 drinks..i felt so bad..i went and worked out the next morning...after popping some excedrin and getting a little grease in my system...my tummy was kinda queasy after the alcohol...

my girl maries hooked me up on sunday with brunch...she really did that damn things too..stuffed french toast, canadian bacon, sausage, eggs, fruit and mimosas! i ate to much...and to exercise that meal off too..lol...

funny, i was just reading earlier in the week about all the sugar in alcohol, lol...i know im a little crazy right now about counting calories and watching how much i eat...but im really beginning to be happy again with my body and im an extreme kinda person at times..im sure ill settle down in a while, once healthy eating and exercise really becomes a way of life for me...i had taken to wearing loose shirts cause i didnt want anyone to notice i had to unbutton my jeans halfway through my shift at work..and now...well those jeans are loose and i feel a lot more comfy wearing shirts that show my curves...im feeling like i felt in college...except a grown version...lol...i want to lose a little bit more then it will be all about toning and maintaining..i dont want to get skinny...i love my booty and my breats...i just want to be toned and curvy...im getting there...everyday it gets easier...

my ex called me over the weekend..i didnt even tell him it was my birthday weekend..i mean really, why? funny how i remember his...but back then i was all into him and he was into himself, so i dont expect him to remember something i told him back then, its not one of the things he remembers about me, HA!...yeah...but we had a good convo...i think we can truly be friends...and not just say it...there is no anger or sadness in my heart anymore thats long gone, i grew up, i healed and i found a wonderful love for myself and i found someone who loves me for me...but really as much angst as he put me through..if i unveiled all the extra shyt i was doing while dealing with him...i dont think he could handle it, even now...so i sit, lol..after our convo over the weekend we are cool...i think he understands where i am at in my life and i understand him...and those are the kind of convos i appreciate..i like to be understood...

on my way to work today one of my tires decided today was the day to get a hole...so ill be up early dealing with that...but thats just part of life, right?

i think the best thing about my birthday was that i got to talk to all my girls..i love them...they always bring laughter and good times...i am so thankful i have beautiful women in my life...emerson, i called you!!!

Happy Fourth!

i have been telling myself for the last couple weeks to get up on here and write something, lol...i have been slackin on my posting...

Happy Fourth of July!

I'm at work, missing my girl's party...she even told me she set up a slip and slide that goes right into the pool...not that i would get on it and slide into the pool, lol..i just got my hair done...

my boyfriend decided to get a puppy...meet marcus!



he is a 2 month old pit terrier...cute aint he!

see my man's hand...isnt it nice and strong looking, lol

clearly, im in a silly mood...but i suppose thats good...hardly anyone is at work today so we are chillin, just talking and having a good time while we work and collect our holiday pay...

working out had been going so well...i havent been to forever 21 in a long time...usually whenever i go in there i just get pissed because i can never fit anything...my "girls" cant breathe in those tiny shirts...i swear the tag on the clothing says large, i would go try it on and it would fit me like a small...well i went in there last weekend and saw a cute dress...i got brave and tried on a medium....IT FIT PERFECTLY!!! so now i have to go back and try on more stuff..it was so motivating...every time i dont want to work out i think about how i felt when i slid that dress down on me and it hugged all the right spots...and i get my butt on the treadmill...

now i have to find somewhere to wear the dress...im also on a misssion to find the perfect pair of jeans...and then buy 5 pair on them, lol

my bday is next week...im hoping the boyfriend took my victoria secret hints, lol...i keep getting on the web site and showing him stuff....

im getting ready to take a small vacation at the end of the month...im going home to see the fam...i havent seen my parents in almost a year and the last time i saw my big bro was in november when he came to visit..isnt that crazy? living so far away definitely has its downside...i talk to them about every other day so i dont feel as disconnected as i could..but i do miss them a lot...i need to make more money so i can go home more often...all i plan on doing when i get home is eating, shopping and hanging out with my fam...i will be metting my bro's new girlfriend...should be interesting...im pretty protective over him...my mom likes her so i hope i do...

i had a little incident when i was on the treadmill the other day....ill have to share that next time....

have a happy fourth...eat some bbq for me!
