What have I been up to you ask?…
Quote of the day:
""What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.""
~Bob Dylan
Not writing in OD that’s for sure lol. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to, signed in, and then backed out. Not because anything is wrong, but because my mother is moving into another apartment and I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of stuff she has accumulated over the past 27 (yep, 27) years that she has been in this apartment.All this so that she can move into an apartment…3 buildings up in the same complex. Oy!
Besides packing and cleaning like crazy, I’ve been looking for a job of course. No bites yet, but when God is ready to bless me with one I know it’ll be great. In the meantime I decided I needed to get serious about my makeup business. I’ve decided to commit to doing makeup. I can’t even begin to tell you how scary that is for me, but I’m gonna do it. Even bought a website with money I don’t have, le sigh. Now if I could only find someone to put it together for me! Any takers? I’ve learned that you have to have a website to really be taken serious in this industry. I also want to take this class in NY in January, but it’s $400 I don’t have. Until then I’m practicing on myself like crazy, and trying to do as many brides as possible to help build my portfolio.
Wedding planning has stopped, seriously. I feel so silly planning a wedding when I don’t have any income coming in. I promised myself that I would jump back on it after Christmas though. Jonathan and I started counseling tonight. It made us argue, but things got resolved. He’s such a headache. Instead of saying how he feels he hides his feelings and acts like a tough guy. Whatev brotha, whatev. This is good for us though.
Saturday I go with him to his brothers graduation in NC, but we’re coming back up Saturday night. I’m blown because that’s the same day as my churches inauguration/dedication service, but I already committed myself to going to NC. Oh joy! Then Tuesday is my b-day. Yay! Next Friday is my moms b-day, and then saturday is moving day. I’m hosting christmas dinner so I have to come up with a menu quick! I will be in a rush to decorate as it is (bleh), but oh well. Anyone have any recipes they want to send me? I’m open! So far I just have barbecue beef brisket on the menu lol. I need help!
This is what I’m wearing Christmas day:
I’m wearing the shrug over the top, dark skinny leg jeans, and the tall boots my dad is getting me for chistmas. Yes, I already know what he got me because I paid for it! lol. My mom went to the store to find the boots, but couldn’t, so I had to go online and order them for my dad. I got him a great deal too. After using my savings code, I got him 2 pair of boots for the price of one. Go me! lol. Free shipping too. Here they are:
I’ve spent a boatload of money, on me, and have only gotten like 2 christmas gifts. My mom wants some purse. Lawd, the lady has expensive taste and my pockets aren’t ready. Jonathan wanted a pea coat so I got him that. Got his sister some smell good. Yep, that’s it. Bleh.
I’m off to go pack some more and then practice my makeup more. I promise to write more. I feel terrible that I haven’t. Latas! Oh, and remind me to post pics from the Maxwell concert as well!
