day six

Day Six: Post a photo of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day. Why did you choose this person? What do you admire most about their life? What can you do to make your life more fulfilling?

If I could trade places with ANYONE... I would trade places with my step dad, 9 years ago.  I would have made sure he wouldn't have died.  I would have prevented all of this pain and emptiness from happening. I would have made sure my family would have never been torn apart.  I also would have loved to switch lives with him because he truly was the most amazing man I have EVER met.  He had zero enemies.  He had the stupidest jokes, he was so sweet.  He was compassionate, and charming, and honestly the greatest guy I have ever met.  I hated him when I first met him.  And I mean I HAAAAATED him.  My mom and dad had just divorced, and there this guy was.  Trying to act like my dad. Screw that. I did everything to sabotage the  relationship between him and my mother.  And no matter how rude I was to him, he was always so kind.  He would have me over and let me play on his computer, buy me slurpees, and just talked to me like he was a friend and not trying to replace my dad.  I ended up loving him as my father.  Don't get me wrong I love my dad so much, but Pop was special.  He showed us all how to love.  I mean even my Dad was friends with him.  How often is the ex husband and husband friends?! Uhhh never.  I just wish he was still alive.  It's been 9 years since he went missing to this day...and it still hurts just as much.  Tomorrow Sonny, Ikaika and I are going into Vegas...and we're going to go visit Pops grave.  This will be the first time I bring Ikaika there, and it hurts so much to know that he will never get to teach him how to change the oil or the spark plugs in the car like he taught me.  I hate January. I miss Pop so much.  And I am going to strive to be more like him so I can have him with me always. 

RIP Richard Charles Carno.  You are the greatest man, I will ever know.

day five

Day Five: Post a photo of your favorite memory. Why is this your favorite memory? What made it so special?

 

This is a tough one. Favorite memory of all time?! I don't have just one.  I have SOOOOOO many. Seriously, I could post pictures for days on this post.  So many great memories. This picture though was a GREAT memory.  It was right before I left for the Air Force. Ayana took Michelle and I to Vivid (what is now Toa) We got trashed. Beyond trashed in fact.  Sex on The Beach was the drink of choice, and I'm pretty sure we each had AT LEAST 10 of them. This bed that we are so seductively posing on was behind the bar and we were the only ones allowed on there. Yeah, we're that good.  Anyway, it was seriously SO MUCH fun.  I remember Shell and I were done for so we called Larry (whom I had the biggest crush on at the time) to pick us up. Luckily he was right down the street.  So we're walking through the Venitan wasted, holding on to each other, trying to find the front doors to meet Larry.  By this point my shoes were off, and I'm walking barefoot around the casino actin a fool.  When we found Larry we jumped in his truck.  Shell threw up quite a few times and all I remember was that her barf was bright pink.  It was hilarious.  That was so much fun.  I always have so much fun with my lover.  Good times, good times.  We actually were just talking about this last week when she was in town.  Gosh that was so much fun.  <3 LOVE YOU LOVER

Day Four: Post a photo that best sums up the night you've had tonight. What did you do? Why was it fun?

 

Thursday night was a pretty chill night.  All we did was play with the baby (like we always do) watch some Jersey Shore (like we always do) AND was going to watch Grey's BUTTTT NOOOO it was a freaking rerun again. boooo.  So we just played with Kaika.  We were the only ones home, so I cooked a lemon mustard chicken with rice.  I combined, lemon juice, dijon mustard, pepper, italian dressing, worcestershire sauce, and I think that's it.  It turned out okay...there wasn't enough worcestershire suce though.  So I wasn't the biggest fan of it.

Day Three: Post a photo of the cast from your favorite show. Why do you love this particular show so much? Who is your favorite cast member & why?

 

My favorite show is Grey's Anatomy.  Man oh man do I love that show.  I die a little every Thursday once the episode is over.  I could watch it ALL day if possible. I didn't start getting into it until about a year ago.  (I'm caught up with all the seasons) My brother and sister in law Ben and Amanda used to watch it when Sonny and I lived with them and that's why we started watching it.  I can't get enough.  I cry in almost every episode.  Man last seasons season finale I was pregnant, and it was SO INTENSE.  Sonny and I watched it before we went to dinner and a movie with my aunt and uncle and my eyes were blood shot when we met up with them.  My aunt kept asking me if I was okay or if Sonny and I were fighting.  I'd have to say my favorite character is all of them.  I love Christina and Meredith as a pair.  As well as McSteamy and McDreamy.  Dr Bailey is amazing! Cali and Arizona are cute together.  Although they aren't together anymore and Arizona is making me mad.  Alex is such a sweetheart and great in Peds.  Little Grey cracks me up.  And Avery is hot.  I think Christina can do better than Owen but he's good to her.  Tonight is Thursday.  I can't wait to watch the new episode because freaking LAST WEEK was a dang rerun!

day two

Day Two: Post a photo of you & the person you have been the closest with for the longest. Why is this person special to you?

The person(s) I have been closest with the longest are my cousins Cortney & Kristin.  Now, some may say oh but family doesn't count. Wah Wah... I consider these girls my best friends so ha!! Ever since we were young we've always lived next to, or near each other.  Whenever I am having a bad day I call Cort... I'd call Krissy but the hoeski never answers her phone. :) We always have so much fun together.  Man writing this makes me miss them so much.  We seriously have some of the greatest memories and inside jokes. I love them and I honestly don't know what I would do without them. 

LOVE YOU GUYS HOODED HOMIES FOR LYFE!!

first post of the year.

susususlacker... is what I should have named this post. Regardless, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

So, lets see... lets start off with Christmas. 

Christmas was AMAZUHZING. We did Christmas early with my in-laws. We did our family pictures. We were supposed to do them at some ranch, BUT the weather decided that wasn't going to happen.  It was raining ALLLLLL day. So we ended up doing them at my MIL and FIL's house. The color palette was Red, White, and Black. Mostly everyone ended up in black.  The pictures turned out phenomenal though.  I love them.

 

Ikaika and I have to get ready for his WIC appointment so prepare yourself for another post. xoxo
