my ego

i love my blog
so really i do
maybe it's ego
or a slight feeling of being misunderstood
there is something i love about letting others into my world
getting to know me (quirks and ugliness)
judging if they must from a far and comfortable distance
my day to day what "i think" is funny
out into the universe
oh, and I do NOT think I am a good writer by any means
and don't even try to judge me on grammar
I am doomed

holidaze

With the holiday fast approaching I am holidaze.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I LOVE the holidays with 110 percent of my heart...however I am already dazed. Dazed, with the amount of work I put into this insane LOVE for Christmas. I want to get the MOST perfect gifts and make the the people I love so happy inside! I haul the kids from store to store, from Santa to portraits, to parades and carriage rides. I decorated the house the day after Thanksgiving, on nine hours of sleep for the week. Really, with midnight shift and shopping that was one tough week. Oh no, I still have to get my Christmas cards in the mail. I am officially one week into December and I am OVERWHELMED with the amount of goodness I MUST create. I put these super HIGH expectations on myself to make everything perfect (thanks Mom) and I kill myself living up to them. With that being said...I LOVE IT. I thrive off the stresses of Christmas, the bad parking, pushing in stores, the rude clerks, the last minute shoppers, the unbelievable deals, freezing SNOW, and all my last minute sewing projects.
Wouldn't trade this HOLIDAZE in for the world.

seventh annual

Seventh Annual Black Friday Shopping
It's a Mother-Daughter tradition...this year we had two extra shoppers
Vince and Jessica

We started at 1am at Toys R Us
Vince couldn't take the crowd nor the HEAT
TIP**Seasonal cashiers...Do NOT care about their jobs and will give you whatever price you think it "should" be
WALMART is INSANE with sale items/aisles wrapped up in brown paper
you could not put ANYTHING in your cart until 5am and had to keep moving -no loitering in front of items...it was musical carts without music or fun
Target a decent zoo with average sales
Leo's Coney wraps it up...HOME 8am
Items bought
Hot pink karaoke machine -Cars tent -Lil Handy Tool Bench -Littlest Pet Shop -Hungry Hungry Hippo -Easy Bake Oven -3 sets of PJ -2 Hannah Montana shirts -Shoes for my brother -2 Sweatshirts -Barbie 3 musketeer -Hula Hoop

oklahoma

Oklahoma
One of my very best "teen" memories
My Mom and I went to Ann Arbor on a school field trip
we chatted like girls on the bus ride
my Mom is young, cool and everyone was jealous
she bought me a eyeball ring, it was the first time I'd ever seen one
So, this time around I took my Mom
nothing fancy a local production
amazing voices and talent
never disappointed in Oklahoma
however...my Mom keeps asking for an eyeball ring

tree saving




We tried to save three
neighborhood trees
Rallied the neighbors
all called the city
Fought the power
crushed the man
Instead I was lured
into the worst of two evils
No trees and more yard
further sidewalks
Or a lot less yard
and still no trees
because they
damaged their root system
on purpose
we lost...the battle

Tigers amazing season
