Party #3: The Stilletto Party

and finally, my SURPRISE party...I was

totally shocked...I didn't have any idea...

or makeup for that matter...but I was totally

surprised, my poor hubby was just taking

all my abuse (I thought he wasn't going to

do anything) and he never said anything.

I am just truly blessed and grateful to everyone

who is in my life...thank y'all for loving me...

my cousin, Herbert came all the way from NY!

okay not really he was already coming... Look at all the kids in the stairs...I mean it's

like we're running a sweat shop!
My nephew Johnny and Kathy doing what

every fifteen year old is doing...TEXTING
My Joel...he must have been hiding a while

he looks sweaty!

anything, they are my friends, my sista's!

They are there for me when I need to be

snapped out of my tantrums and when I need

things put into perspective..yup...my sista's

Birthday Bashes (sss)

So have I said how extremely blessed I am...

For my birthday, I ended up having THREE

parties! FIVE CAKES! this is after thinking

no one loved me, no one would think of me,

I'm-gonna-eat-some-worms kinda deal...yeah

I know...I'm a BRAT! But the truth is, I am

BLESSED, I am LOVED, and I am wonderfully

CARED for and I really could not have asked

for anything more!





This is on my actual birthday...

Turning the big 29

Happy Birthday to me!
so turning 29 is not that bad...
but it can always be better...
IE. better shape, better health.
I have to work on those things...
is it too late
for a new years resolution?

the best birthday gift...

my sister wrote this for me. love it. made me cry. a happy cry.

if you can't beat 'em, help 'em...

this is from a trip i made to Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico
beautiful little quaint town outside of Guadalajara.
I was walking down the cobble street when i
happen to look up...
and there were these little birds staring at me.
i stopped to asked the owner of the house if
they were real, he went off into this story
about how these little birds would build a
nest on his electric wire, he feared the twigs
and stuff they used for the nest would
catch fire, so he would run them off and
destroy their nest only to find them there
again soon after, so he decided to just build
them a cement nest...so now the little
birdies have a permanent home...
and they lived happily ever after...
