This past March I went to Dallas to visit some family and my babies are getting so big!

Life and times of Love: 2011 Goals

Save money to travel in 2012: Decided on the trips (Vegas and Miami) now I have to save the money.

Life and Times of Love: 2011 Goal- Ran 10k (Check)

I’m not a runner, haven’t been a runner since high school. Yet I took on the task of running the 10k. I tried my best to follow a training schedule put together buy my roommate, yet after a few weeks the motivation just wasn’t there. I was not going to let that defeat me. I would not and could not give up because I set a goal and I was going to achieve it. The 1^st few weeks were full of pain, ever part of my body ached. I was sore in places I didn’t know I could be sore. I tried to involve strength training in my schedule thinking that would help with the pain but still it didn’t. Finally I came to the conclusion that I should get a massage. Bad idea! My massage therapist tried to convince me that maybe running just wasn’t for me due to the fact I was still in pain after 3 weeks of training. At this point I was really discourage but I am not quitter so I didn’t give up I just complained more. My roommate trying to be a good friend helped a little by encouraging me the best she could which to a point was getting on my nerves…..haha….So I continued to train, not hard but I trained. And on April 2, 2011 I ran the 10k! I’m not going to lie it was still hard because before training I didn’t run at all. Around 3.5miles I lost motivation and thought about walking but I didn’t, I ran the entire thing and I feel so accomplished. Does this mean I am going to run the half marathon or a marathon….no. What that means is that now I enjoy something that I used to enjoy. Running is now a part of my life, at least 2 days a week.

He Still Love's Me-Beyonce(The Fighting Temptations Movie)

All we ever talk about is partying, fashion and MEN

My friend and I were talking one night and he told me that he feels girls love bad boy. He feels that women take and take but keep going back to them. See he used to be a nice guy but a girl did him wrong and now he is a ass hole and he feels that girls love it. I believe that is half way true but no girl really wants to end up with the cocky ass hole. We want the nice guy with a bad boy swagger. Makes sense right.....

So he goes on to tell me about how good guys finish last because most girls are a product of their bad relationships. We are.....we have a cycle and we tend to follow it until either we are done/ over it or some guy comes a long and break it. We want to learn from our mistakes but truth be told the old saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me," is right. Shame on us, we go through this over and over again, saying love is the reason. Through it all we really don't want a guy that will keep treating us bad and hurt us just because he is afraid of getting hurt. We want to be in something safe or something we can control. I don't believe that love is safe and our lives are not our own to control. So let's not let our fears hurt others.

In the end of the conversation we couldn't agree....He wants to continue being the ass hole and I refuse to continue to let guys treat me like I am unworthy.

Life and Times: Cooking

I love cooking, I can do it every day. For some reason it calms me and makes me happy. One of my earliest memories as a child is being in the kitchen with my grandmother. Just watching her and how making sure the people she loved were fed made her happy. I learned from her that no matter what the task was if it made someone she loved happy it was worth it. Cooking was that for her. So I picked the task and ran with it. Not everything I cook is a success but like most things in life, it is a trail and error type of situation. I try new recipes every once and a while. During this past holiday season I took on a spinach quiche.


Success!







I also tried Brownie cookies.


Work in progress. I really don't think desserts are my thing but I will keep trying.

K-liners

L: I want to be a jet setter and go to exotic places. Do you think going to exotic places make you an exotic person….hmmmm…..probably not.

K: No it makes you broke

L: Maybe when it is no longer a baby I will baby sit. Between the ages of 3-11 I am your girl……no teenagers don’t like them until they are like 20. Haha…….maybe a newborn that doesn’t cry to the age of 1. Just saying…..But your kid might be funny so it could be up for discussion.

K: Wait? Are you judging on babysitting my kids on how funny they are?
