.happy new year

my last day in 08 was the perfect example of a roller coaster! i went up, with excitement, then down with disappointment then back up! my son had a doctor's appointment 9 a.m. and i wasn't expecting what i was told. my 3 year old son, who just turned 3 on the 17 of last month is 3ft 4ins already and according to their charts, he'll be 5ft 11ins by the time he is 13 and 6ft 4ins by the time he is 17! i'm 5'2! i can just imagine how it will feel to have to look up at my son when i am speaking to him! they also told me that my son may need to get his tonsils removed. i finally made up my mind to go to the comedy show with one of my best, so that brought me back up.

we get to the show and comedian Willie Roe came on after a funny white comedian who has a thing for black women. Willie Roe gets on the stage like, "fuck that last comedian, i love me some white women" and turns to this lady in the front row and asks her to come up on the stage so we could see her clothes. so her turns to the dude she was with and asks him "you ever been with a black woman" and he says no. this dude turns to me and says "come here baby".. i tried to hide my face and said no so he kept saying "come here" and started walking off the stage! so i got up! he tells the white man to hug me, he extended his hand to shake my hand so he shouts "I SAID GIVE HER A HUG!" so i give him a hug and the comedian slides the man's hand down to my ass! i walked back to my seat and got another drink! later on in the show.. he goes back to the man and asked him if he was still thinking about the hug and this dude said yes! so he asked did he want another and he said YES! so i had to get up again and give this man a hug! by this point... i'm so tipsy that i got up real quick and walked quickly back to my seat!

after the show, we went to my twin & friends house party. so many embarassing pictures were taken that i refuse to post them! there was one not so bad pic that i will post since Bran says its ok.

OK... just one "don't drink and dance" pic!

a while back, i came across this great artist. i was so impressed with his skills that i asked him to do something for me to use on my blog. and this is what he sent me! i am so in love with this! as soon as i have the time, i am going to change my blog around and add this as my header. thanks again Justin!!

EDITED......

as tired as i am and as early as i have to be up, i really should be sleep but something won't let me rest. the last few nights, i've found myself thinking more and more about my clothes. i've realized a few things and came to a few conclusions. i've come to realize that i am a little too hard on myself. i really don't give myself enough credit for the clothes that i make. i mean, i'v had NO school training, and i don't use patterns. one day i asked for a sewing machine and got one for xmas that same year. i got some fabric and looked very closely at a shirt that i loved and figured out how it was made. i can look at a garment and tell you how many pieces it took to make it and sometimes i can put something together in just a few short hours with no flaws! so why am i my own worse critic? i've even thought about ending this blog because i think it lacks what people are interested in. with the kind of month i've had, it could be just stress taking over. so i wish everyone who reads this, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND PLEASE BE SAFE!
