Birthday Bumps and Bruises

As you may know my uneventful birthday was this weekend. I was just waiting for the day to end as usual. It didn't go by without its up and downs. My oldest twin, Bubba Boo, had a fever. He runs fevers at least one a month. Every time a take him to the doctor and they say he has some infection( throat,sinus,stomach) and gives him an antibiotics. Well, his father says that he ran fevers like that when he was young and stayed in the hospital. He never knew why though. I'm going demand that he is sent to a specialist of some sort because he is not very good patient when he is sick and he's such a dramatic actor! Even after the fever broke he was playing the victim with his Grandma. I told her that Bubba Fat is going to be a star one day:) My youngest twin, Brownie Pecan, was well mannered and content and seemed to enjoy our trip to Kanpai in Spartanburg. But you can't take him in a store because he's kleptomanic. He touches everything and there is rarely a time that we don't walk out of store and he has something at the bottom of the buggy or stroller.He's strategist, he'll be a good with money one day because he knows what he's doing!

I got some cash, birthday cards(I love getting cards!),and two DVD's, Madea Goes to Jail and Why Did I Get Married. I have all of the Madea movies now. If there is anything that can put me in a good mood is a Madea DVD. Tyler Perry is so talented and Madea reminds me of Granny, Big Granny,and Aunt Lib all in one.

Only thing that I asked of God for my birthday was for my family and sanity to be intact. Those who know what's going on in my life right now, well I'm not "fighting" anymore because I won battle #2 on Friday. Hallelujah!!

Thanks to all of my family and friends and fellow blog pals for my well wishes for b'day!!!


Love you all and may God bless you beyond your wildest dreams!!!

29....

Look who's 29!!!

Next! ANTM Cycle 7 premiere...

This season's ANTM is a the tackiest one I have ever seen. Here are my views on it:

-initially Monique was my favorite but her personality is absolutely sickening almost intentionally bitchy. It makes her look real ugly. She would have NEVER stole my bed because I would've gotten crunk on her and I would've just gotten kicked off the show.

-I like A.J. but how many times has Tyra done androgynous? I mean give it up, Tyra.

-I like Jaeda too. Doesn't she remind you of Corinne From Cycle 5?

-Was Tyra's hair like horribly big? Tell your stylist to not your double tracks.

-I like the twins but I'm partial to twins anyway!

-Anchal remindes me of the Asian girl from last cycle. Beautiful yet very ethnic but no self esteem. Plus I don't think Anchal has a lot of variety in her look. She's a stunna though.

-I'm pissed that they eliminated Christian. And I know what ya'll are thinking,"J's taking up for her cuz she's from Columbia S.C." I thought that she didn't know her angles that's all.She was beautiful.Melrose should have gotten the boot.She had one the best themes and she screwed it.

I won't be watching it this season. I rather watch the new season of Top Chef. ANTM Cycle 7 reminds me of the Real World. Once they did the Las Vegas Season, it got real predictable.

peace!

The Wednesday Haul

Today I hit the Avon store and got the new Bohista fragrance by mark.It's "a earthy blend of of ginger lily, magnolia,and chocolate. Yummy!! I also got the Bohista Suedeshadow Quad and Lip Gloss Quad. I haven't tested the eyeshadows but the lip glosses are so nice. First, they smell like cotton candy, taste sweet and look beautiful in their palette. I put on the bronze( there two bronzes but the other has a red highlight to it.). I also picked up Milk Made Milk Bath Milk.Now this was discontinued back in 2003 but this Avon store had some for 2.50 a box. The bath milk packets make the water look like milk. Avon used to make one that water looked like chocolate milk and smelled like chocolate!!

I also did the usual Wal-Mart run of diapers,baby wipes and toddler clothes. I mean my boys are growing out of every thing I buy them. But I got for myself Caress original soap( smells like my Granny), Caress Cashmere Luxury Silkening Bath Wash and Caress Glowing Touch Bath Wash. Both of the washes are new Caress products. They smell divine and can't wait to use them. Well off to watch ANTM!


Love,

Confessions of Birthday Hater

I have a confession to make:
My birthday is Saturday and I hate my birthday. Not because I'm getting older(I'll be 29) but I always get my hopes up to have a great day and it doesn't turn out that way. Now I'm not the one to have parties for myself or hope that someone will throw me one or ask my friends and family for ridiculous things like out of town trips and dinners they can't afford or gifts I don't need. I just want my family and my sanity to be intact. Last year right before my birthday my dad was diagnosed with cancer. 2004: my children were preemies in Neonatal Intensive Care. 2003: spent the entire day alone. 2002: my boyfriend at time and I were on the outs. 2001: I was working the entire day. 2000: my best friend got married on my birthday.Sounds like the millenium won't give me a break.:) But there is good news.I'm planning a Sephora haul with any birthday money I get, I don't have to work, and going to Kanpai of Spartanburg with my mom and children for lunch. So there is light it the end of the birthday tunnel.

Muah!
