Last Post of 2010

So I'm not up for all the hoopla this year. I worked til 7 tonight and got home around 8:40pm. Sadly I was beat, broke and my tummy was rumbling for some good eats...so I came home threw down in the kitchen and am about to partake in a Margarita before I hit the bed and wake up in a new year. I am not going to write resolutions b/c I already know in my mind the things I can/will/need to do to make 2011 better than 2010.

I miss my Poops so much. It's only been about 3 days since he's been in Kentucky with my parents, but it feels like a lifetime! :( But I skyped with him yesterday and of course call and talk to him on the phone every day. I really don't have to much to say but let's go out and make those dreams a reality and I hope every1 had a safe, festive last day of 2010. Stay blessed

FLMM! :)

Another Day, Another Dolla

I was happy to get called into work for tomorrow and Friday. A mere 11 hours of work, but I will be able to put a dent in some of the things I have to pay and most importantly buy Poops a couple pair of shoes that he definitely needs. Life is not perfect, but I am thankful for the little I do have. I actually have alot (in terms of emotional fulfillment - can't ask for anything better than Liam), but it's the material things I am so desperately lacking! So hopefully something wonderful materializes in the near future, I have a 2nd interview at the laser procedure office i applied for about 2.5 weeks ago. Hope that's a good sign.

I am in the process of taking steps to improve my health...details on that to follow.
I miss Poops something terrible, but I know I am doing the right thing for our situation. I love him too much to have him here in the midst of moving, me stressing about job huntin, etc. He is home with Granny and Pops with space, toys galore, good food and my whole family who just loves his little face - for that I am grateful. So tonight I go to bed thankful and hopeful for my future. Law school, good job, healthier me, better Mom and raising a smart, respectful son here I come! :)

As the Year Comes to a Close...

I have had a very busy past few days! Xmas came and went REALLY quickly. Poops is now in Kentucky with Mom & Dad and I'm already really sad. We drove to NYC with Adam and Ada and we just got back tonight. So loooooong! Also we missed Blizzard 2010 here in NYC, so I am thankful we left when the road conditions weren't terrible. I am back on my grind job hunting for cosmetics jobs and praying to God that He will make a way. I still can't believe in 5 short days, this crazy year will be over. I can only hope and pray and look forward to wonderful things next year. I am making this a short entry. I am exhausted! I will write more ASAP. Good night!

The Love of My Life!!!

Vlog

Here I am...shitty quality..bleh!

And This Christmas, Will Be...

I still can NOT believe it is Christmas on Saturday! It feels unreal! I am not having a Christmas like any I have had before, but I do get to go home and spend it with my family and well that's the ONLY thing I want to do every year anyways. I bought Poops a Christmas sweater, some dress shoes and will be buying more sippy cups and other essentials. He still needs boots and some more walking shoes. He's good with clothes. I wish I had enough money to buy something for my parents. I feel guilty when I can't get them stuff til about 6 weeks later (tax return). Even my friends don't get their Xmas gifts til the day AFTER Xmas when all the holiday gift sets are 50-75% off! But hey a bargain is a bargain and they are mostly here in NYC anyways.
Poops will be staying behind in Kentucky when we go down there until February...or for just about a month if  the job offer comes through...I am not so worried about it anymore. What is meant to happen will happen and I know that I will find my way to happiness eventually. So it's 90% likely I'm moving back to KY mid February.
I'm ready to ace this LSAT, get into L-school and begin that new chapter of my life...for what I am looking for, I have decided that Fordham University will be my first choice. I am applying there PT (for the first year) depending on my LSAT score and also for a dual degree - MFA in Creative Writing. That way I can do two things I am passionate about that are on opposite sides of the brain :).
I still am not feeling the holiday cheer. I don't know what the difference is between this year and every other. Well we didnt decorate around the apartment and there hasn't really been any snow. Not to mention this month just FLEW by...I guess?! Until the next time...

Mama the Mua's been Working!

Hey! Sorry it has been a couple of days. Got 5 days in a row freelancing in Jersey City and although an almost 2 hr commute...well worth it and I'm enjoying and of course happy to pick up some days at work! God is good! I am hoping that this is a precursor for more good things that are about to happen in my near future with job prospects namely from that Australian brand I interviewed with on Wednesday! Here are some pics of my makeup/hair lately. Enjoy :)

I must confess...

To amend a previous review I gave of the Iman Luxury Radiance Liquid Foundation...I must say that I really do LOVE it! It has grown on me. Although it does come OUT of the tube a golden color, it actually blends into the orangey/cool tone that I love wear on my skin...I'm actually excited. My skin looks dewy, youthful and well Luminous! lol I use just a pea size for great coverage. I am definitely going to buy her powder now. I have finally found a way to be stylish, radiant AND frugal :) YAY :) Here is a pic of me wearing it recently:

Thanks to My Followers!

Hey so I realize this is kinda corny, but I would just like to shout out the 9 people who have followed my blog! I have been at this for 3 months :) and I'm glad people actually care about what I have to say. :)
On another completely random note. I'm sure most people have taken those personality tests that put you into 3 of the following categories that you rank the highest in (realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, conventional). No matter how many times I took those damn things I continued to get the same results: Social, Enterprising, Artistic.

At first I was kind of disgruntled with my results. At 14, I didn't really want to be told that after college I could go on to become a teacher or a hair stylist or better yet a social worker. All of those things were SO not appealing to me. Now that I have fully understood the extent to which those categories can reach, I now know they fit me to a T! :)

Lesson Learned

This past week has been nuts! Poops had his surgery on Thursday and made it through with flying colors. He is doing great and you would never know he even had surgery. Me on the other hand, I feel like poopie warmed over. I have some sinus issues and have felt terrible since Friday. I have pretty much been hibernating this weekend. Looks like I will be going home for Christmas after all, probably December 22-29.
The whole Macy's situation fell through, they were NOT going to pay me what I believe I deserved to get paid or what made sense for the position. So another one bites the dust. When I tell people I will be leaving NYC in February, they all ask me "why?". I'm f-in broke that's why! lol I can't find a job even paying enough to sustain me and let me pay my rent. I have no choice but to leave. It's December and I just don't think I'm going to be able to pull off finding a job in the next 8 weeks! :/
Also, this week I thought I had lost a good friend of mine because of my assholishness. Yeah! I really need to work on that...Til next time
