Seeing more clearly now

I got my eyes checked a few weeks ago and it just so happened it was on the day I had my pampered chef party and Lugo's going away party. I remember I as blind for about 4 hours after I had my pupils dilated. YUCK that really sucked! Today I picked up my new eye glasses and everyone at work likes the way they look on me. Mianna said I look younger and look like a college student. Now all I need is my braces and I'll really look 20 some thing. ehehhe. I love my new BCBG Maxazria glasses. ehehhe, I had to go designer... I'm such a nut. I have contacts ass well, but only need correction in one eye with the contact. I had Mianna snap this shot of me in my new look.

XMAN

We went to see it today and I loved it! We all loved it. way to go the movie is making big bucks!!!! Holly looked so hot with her new slender looking bod and salt and pepper looking hair.

Crazy Busy

I have been so busy I haven't had time to sit at the computer to update my blogg. I worked at my full time job today but I'm off from BeBe for today and tomorrow. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I'll be working both jobs. I'm off from CRC on Friday and Sat, but work at BEBE both days and that makes a total of 57 hours this week. I'm finally getting the hang of the register at work and started helping clients with purchases and fashion decisions. So far I really like working at Bebe and the girls I work with are the coolest. Friday I had my pampered Chef party and for anyone that wants to order let me know by Wed, since I'll be closing the party then. We also had a farewell party for Lugo since he will be leaving this week to Puerto Rico for good. Rich finally painted the remainder of the living room and made me sad by painting over the kitchen. I was so sad I cried. He painted it without even asking me first. I was so hurt and now I have to paint it back, it's so ugly and blah! I have to get off this thing and take Mianna to the store to get a Bday gift for her best friend. I'm out!

Avenn's Busted Lip!

Hippo poop

While we watched the Hippo's play it was so funny when one of them started pooping while wagging it's tail and the other one was drinking from the water. The entire crowd broke out in a loud EWWWWWW!!!!! it was the funniest thing ever!

Girls Night Out

My night out with girls was a success. We ended up going to a club in South Side called the Globe. We did shots of patrone all night. Well I had 2 1/2 and called it quits and only drank water and XL energy drinks..mmmmmmm, But S and C had so much fun and we danced our booties off. The atmosphere was great, but the kids looked so young, man we are getting old and it's so strange to be around such a young group of kids. I was having flash backs of when I was in my 20's and that was not too long ago. Our partying days of about 10 years ago, was filled with so many memories and good times. I wish I had some old pictures, but my friend M has all the pictures. I like to look back at them and see how skinny I was use to be with my short ass skirts and belly baring tops. This celebration was for S's Bday and lets just say she had way tooooo much fun!

Indoctrination

I start my indoc for BeBe on Monday and Tuesday night will be my first day at work. whooo whooo. I'm so nervouse but excited at the same time. I keep telling everyone that I'm Jamaican with 2 jobs man!

Hooked on Sugar

While we were in Tampa shopping at Sephora I decided to buy this bar of soap by Sugar and I'm hooked after my 7 day test. This soap smell so good and makes me feel so soft I don't need lotion after my shower. I still put lotion on, but O man O man, this stuff is the best. I went to Sephora on Friday and they only had 3 bars left. I was told they would stop caring them, but I could still buy it online. I forgot to buy the last 3 bars, but hope they still have it when I go up next time. Rich even likes the soap.

Their back

The racoon is back and this time it's not just one but two racoons. I watched them from the window as they tore into our trash yet once again. I guess they are really hungry and might have young ones to feed.

Rich took the test... HE loves this car the 07

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago!

You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull.

Lost and Dead

We lost one of our bear hamsters when she got out of her cage about a month ago and never found her. We did find her sister and she just passed about 2 days ago. Mianna was not real sad, but we might get a new baby one day.

Drained

I got up this morning to call my job and tell them I'm sick!!!!! I am sick! I'm drained to the bone, my body is so week and my head feels as heavy as a bowling ball. I took some Day time medicine and it did clear up my nose so I can breath now, but I just feel week and limp. I spoke with my neighbor about doing our gutters and so it looks like we will probably get our gutters up in the next few weeks. I have plans with a few girls from work tomorrow to just hang out and do some shopping but if I don't feel so hot tomorrow we might have to cancel. My job asked me to work from 10-2 tomorrow and it's suppose to be my day off. I'm probably have to go in sick and all. O well. Looks like the cold that Mianna and Rich have had for 2 weeks now is finally catching up to me and this is how it usually goes within our little circle of sickness. Moms always get sick last because they need all there energy to take car of the kids and husband. Then when we are sick , no one takes car of us. :0(

Home early

I woke up this morning and felt sick. =( Mianna and Rich had been sick for a bout a week now and yesterday I was thinking , my time will be coming soon since I usually get sick after they get sick. My throat felt sore this morning and my nose was clogged. I decided to just go into work and that was a big mistake. I felt a little dizzy at work and so I decided to call it a day after 4 hours and I'm home now. I just had to check my email and now I"m off to rest. I Hate having a cold in hot weather.

Unsteadiness

Uah... I guess my dizzyness was still precent after that taunting test at the Dr office today. I hope I return to normal soon. I just have a sence of unsteadiness, no spinning, but more like a sway from side to side or front to back. I took Miannas computer in to have it upgraded with memory and a new video card if needed. I would have done it my self but the shop I normally go to had moved and so I found a new shop and just decided to have them do it for me. I love taking computers apart and messing with the inner workings, ehhehe. I need to spend my off time catching up on house work and laundry. I need a maid. With two jobs I will be so spent and not able to keep up on my house work. My daughter will have to step up and really start cleaning. We are thinking about sending her to Hawaii for the summer, but not sure if she wants to go yet. My friends mom lives in Hawaii and had asked if Mianna wanted to come out with her grandaughter for the summer. If I was Mianna I would go! After the computer store I took Mianna to watch Scary Movie4 and then out for an ice cream treat.

Minature Horse

I was at my Dr appointment today and this lady had a minutre hores for a guide named Conffetti. She had such soft hair and nibbled on my leg a little. I really got a kick out of Conffetti and instantly took a picture with my cell phone along with video and I blogged it from the Dr's office. ehehhe. My testing went well, but they did find that I am missing about 75% of my balance and it stems from a vistibular problem. I will have to do some physical therapy to retrain my brain to register my movement and balance and I should be a Okay again. I can't believe my brain had only been operation on 25% balance... that is a huge percentage. It's not only the barin, but my ear balance and the brain registering the balance.... WOW, anyways, I'm on my way to more recovery and I feel good about it. Todays tests made me so dizzy that it brought back memories of a few months ago when I was having bad vertigo.

New Job

I got the job.. LOL, not even sure if I told you all but I went for an interview a few weeks ago and I ended up landing the Job. I turned in my resignation from CRC on monday but today decided that I want to take it back, I know I'm crazy...... My Big boss said that he would love to see me stay and wanted to know the reason for me leaving in the first place. I told him it's not that I'm not happy, because I am happy from time to time at my current job, it's just strickly the money. I want to give this new job a try and see if I'm any good at it and if I excell I could make way more than my current position and have more freedom to save, invest, pay down my cars!!! and SAVE!!! I want to buy a second home as well. I'm trying to be super woman and work two jobs. My big boss said it was all okay with him but he was leaving the final say up to his right hand lady and she will make the final say as to if they will take back my resignation. If she says yes I'll be happy, but if she says no then I'll have to work part time at the new job and KICK some retail sales butt butt for that commission. I'm hustler at heart and definatly know how to get the $$$ bill ya'll. I'm not afraid to go for this new possition full force, but I'm trying to test the waters and see if it's the right position for me. I love the store and the clothing plus the discount is awesome since I have been a shopper there for over 10 years now. The area where I work is the ritzzy part of town and so the shoppers are plentiful. My new manager is a lady name Jennifer and she has been in retail for over 13 years and she is Tai. The mix of associates are from all over and so many I havn't met them all. I'm ready for my new venture.

Back from Tampa

We got up early Friday and drove 3 1/2 hours to Tampa and got there a little too early to check in, but we Decided to go ahead and book the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. This was a really nice and I mean nice hotel. It's a lot nicer than the Hard Rock in Vegas. We were able to check in an hour early, but before we did that we went to the historic downtown and ate some sushi at a really nice place. I had my Hard Rock Special massage booked for 2pm and while I checked in to have my swedish massage with hot rocks, Rich and Mianna checked into the room and decided to hang out by the pool and play a game of pool. The Spa was really small but soooooooooo serene and beautifully decorated. I was in heaven with this massage and hooked for life. I will have to strive to get one at least once a month or every other month. I wish I could aford it every 2 weeks, like I use to get at the old apartments. After the massage I hung out in the spa and layed down in the steam room for about 10 minutes and that was really peaceful and relaxing as well. I was going to get into the indoor jacuzzi but decided to join my family outside and just in the jacuzzi out there. But before I left the spa I took a nice shower and fell in love with the huge shower head that come down on me like rain. I want a shower head like that in my bathroom... ehhehe. The pool at the Hard Rock played music under water and Mianna was amazed by that. I never got to hear it because they had a live band playing when I got out there and had turned off the music. We had to stop swimming after the life guard had found some thing that wasn't quite right in the pool. I suspect it was poop from one of kids that were down that end of the pool. We were at the deep end and so we never saw it, but they shut down the pool and we all retreated to the jacuzzi that was right next to a huge waterfall wall. After swimming we decided to go back to the room and get dressed and head to the mall. Rich got his watched sized and Mianna and I just tooka look around the mall and had fun playing in Sephora and bought some dirt; no not real dirt, but the hair product by Johnathan product. I love it and it really works. After the mall closed we decided to eat at California Pizza Kitchen and then headed back to the hotel. Rich and I went out at a little after midnight when the club Floyds opened up and we almost cosed it when we left at 5:30. I danced my boody off and had such a good time. The drinks were so over priced but we still had fun. I was too pooped to go gambling and not really into gambling so Rich went back down to play a little poker. No luck for him, but he had fun. The next morning we got up and requested a late check out and got ready to go the Bush Gardens. The park was fun but we didn't really have enough time to ride too many rides. Rich got on the huge coaster called SheiKra. I better get my butt butt to bed now, it's almost 1am.

Tampa for the weekend

We are going to Tampa for the weeked and having a fun time at Bush Gardens on Sat. We will head home Saterday night since I work on Sunday. Friday we will hang out by the pool and then check into our hotel and just have a relaxing day and evening and then spend the next day at Bush Gardens. I'm not sure if we will stay at the Sheraton or The Westin. Rich would like to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel I would love to go to the spa at the Hard Rock and also the pool is so NICE... o man I have to make a choice. Rich will be stuck to the machines and poker tables. ehhehe

MY MRI and Tshirt

Today I had what I hope is my last MRI and it went well. This MRI was to concentrate on the stem of the brain and it was louder then the previous areas I had done and so I couldn't hear the salsa music at all. I had on my Red T shirt that Rich got for me and got nothing but compliment and smiles from men. This one guy said to me in the parking lot that he likes my shirt and that it's TRUE. ehehhe. Okay so I love this shirt and the shoes I had on with it were just the cutes ever with polk a dots. It's a cute sandal by Nine West. ehehhe. Here is a little snap shot of my shirt.
