I forgot I had a blog.
Okay, really I didn't.
My life is just so busy and exciting I don't have time to blog.
Okay, really it's not.
Here's the good news. I'm not going to try and cover my 4 months of absence in one long rambling post. I'm just going to pick things up where they are.... but a little catch up first!


  •  Age: now 22
  • Sex: Female
  • Location: same
  • Daughter: Yes, and she is still amazing.
  • Relationship Status: In lots of love!
  • Work: Trichology Salon
  • School: Pretending it doesn't exist for another month.
Okay. Well now that we're all on the same page!
Does anyone else find it hard to believe it's July? I remember when the school year would drag on. and on. and on. The summer was finally here and it was never long enough. But, it was definitely longer than it is now! 
I remember January better than I do last week. So, I guess it's time to start embracing the moments; before they fly by and you forget them!

And it's time to be happy!

I have always thought I was pretty positive, but I think we can become so passive in the way we allow ourselves to think, we quit focusing on retaining the positive thoughts, and we're back to being Negative Nancy's before we realize it!

If you ever have to ask yourself why your life is falling apart. It's probably because you're allowing it to! (minus deaths and such) I don't know why it's so hard for us to wrap our heads around the fact that we actually control our own lives-- please know this is more for me to tell myself than preach to anyone else-- and with that, we control our happiness and everything that brings joy to us! So, I'm going to take time for myself. everyday. seriously everyday. In that time I'm going to do something that makes me feel happy, confident, loved, sexy, empowered... yada yada yada. and I urge you all to do the same. yes. you. my six followers! The difference it makes is amazing, yet makes so much sense! We can change our happiness in a day, actually in a minute if we choose to do so.


okay. I am now bringing my head out of the clouds.

Prelsey got her first pet yesterday... a frog. Not the type of frog that you can hear or hold, it doesn't even smell.. unless, you go too long without cleaning the tank. Yes. Presley is the proud owner of an aquatic frog. Princess Tiana. (The Princess and the Frog happens to be her favorite movie right now.) She is quite the princess too, her tank is full of "diamonds" and "rubies" AND she has webbed toes... so there you have it a true princess.

Now, onto P.T.'s tragedy, Presley doesn't quite understand that we shouldn't move Tiana's tank around too much. So yesterday, she was carrying the little aquatic wonderland to show Grandma Nancy her new pride and joy when one of the frog's delicate princess feet we're trapped under a ruby bigger than her. I explained to Presley how careful she needed to be and P.T. managed to swim away from the catastrophe unharmed. Or so I thought. As I was sitting here typing away, I checked in on the little gem and her hind foot is suddenly missing its webbing and crippled up to her body.



Poor, Poor Tiana.



Matt's quote on the matter,"...and how is it you do this amazing job of raising a little girl by yourself, yet you nearly kill a tiny frog in eighteen hours?"

Thank Heaven's Presley has already left with her dad for the weekend. So, I will now be leaving to do away with this once a princess and find her a replacement. Before my own princess returns.

Until next time! (which should be sooner that four months)
