Really, I leave out so many important things when I do get around to posting... it's sad.

BIG DAVE aka UNCLE DAVE had a birthday!! The weekend of his birthday coordinated with my last week of school, so that could have been the reason I was too pre-occupied to post about it.

Regardless, there shouldn't be any reason for not posting a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the best brother and uncle EVAH!!

Here's a pic of the big guy himself sporting one of his lovely gifts from his nieces. The enormous flower was accompanied by a yummy smelling candle and a pretty bell. It must be nice having THREE nieces and NO nephews.


The next even wasn't forgotten about, I was actually waiting to post about it, and then didn't post. My Harper turned ONE yesterday!!! We had the party on Sunday, so I was waiting to post till yesterday -- but then it turned into the usual pish posh of stressfulness that is my life.

She had a GREAT party and I put together a little montage of it here if you want to have a look see.

I really can't believe she's one already!!! It seems like yesterday I was posting about her being born, then all of a sudden shes walking and even saying words!! Frakin' kids, they never let ya catch up.

One of the cutest things about Harper is how she shares. No matter what she has, she is always right on top of seeing who else wants to check it out. She shared her bday cake with her TT. She loves to read too! She is always grabbing books and bringing them over to the closest person to see who will hook her up with the story first. Shes a great kid, and it has a lot to do with her great parents.

That reminds me! She's coming over tonight! WOOOOT.


LOVE YOU HARPER LEA!!!

Ok, and last but not least... the prop bet is ovah tomorrow and I'll go ahead and post my final count today as I think it will be accurate

-21.5 lbs

J did a great job too and the bet is a push. But it was a lot of fun. J is a very funny guy and so easy to get along with. He made it a lot of fun thru txt msgs and the like... a little ribbing and humor go a long way. Thanks for going thru it with me J. <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4JcaWf8xOl9oSJhfPMbuSi7M6_NFN4F0OFzKLzhbYeUImTY2_NizXTpC2sWF1ucQ2P2wPwkp6duRCQIyHDR8OjiXqdP-baday064wrYVbAK4gD05-m4dbZsdR5ascHN4oX6yJMw/s1600-h/preFATpic.jpg">
The first is a pic of me pre weight loss in vegas -- I mean I still have a long way to go (I want to lose 50 lbs more) but not a bad start.

WOOOOOT. 35% to MILFdom.

It has been too long --

but I've been a lil busy, mkay?

I finished out my summer quarter at school! Big W0o0T.

I would show you my Digital Video final, but it's so bad I don't want anyone to hurl. My final InDesign proj turned out ok, well for getting the proj requirements on Monday and having it due Wednesday anyhow. Same prof as my Typography class, if you remember that one.

It was an tri-fold layout for the new Helvetica Film

Maya started back to school last Wednesday, she is in the THIRD GRADE NOW! So crazy. She loves her new teacher cause, "She wears high heels every day, and her hair is pretty, and she has a great skin tone". I know, wtf? Girls.

Anna isn't going back to the same pre-school this year. We had so many issues there last year, and it was going to cost more this year, I couldn't bring myself to pay that much money for people to piss me off on a regular basis. So, she will be in the pre-school at my College this year. For now, she will only be going when I'm in class (full time has a waiting list) but since I'm on a Pell Grant it costs practically nothing, and even better, it's a GREAT pre-school. She is pretty excited.

I'm almost to my weight goal (well for the prop bet anyhow, long ways to go for the real goal). As of last week I had 4 lbs to go -- so I'm working double time to get it off. I haven't noticed a huge difference in my clothes etc. but I do feel a lot better, I feel stronger, and I like that. One bad side, I thought as we aged the first thing to go was the mind, that is a myth. It's the boobs.

So now I'm off school for two weeks. I don't have any huge plans, but I do have 4 goals:

1. Get my resume laid out in InDesign.
2. Find a part time job.
3. Work on some side projects for logos etc.
4. Get a couple projects done around the house (I haven't decided which ones yet)

We will see how it goes, cause I still have Anna with me during the day, and I have an enrollment for work going on too.

Oh, and I got my haircut yesterday. Fun fun.
