<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, that's right. It is 6:22 and I had a wild hair up my ass to <b>ACTUALLY </b>prepare myself to start blogging soon (aka - modifying my blog) and trying to put up a post before I arrive at Intellitec College for their Cosmetology Program. I could be getting ready, but why do that when you are super excited and feel its <u>literally</u> the best thing you ever thought about doing for your family?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know for me, its better than the hell that we spent the past year or so since the last I updated this blog. For real, if you want to step inside my shoes and almost loose your home, lost your car and could have been homeless, be my guest. But it seems like someone above (I'd rather say my grandmother, HEY Maw-Maw! I appreciated the rainbow, rain, sleet and snow you gave me to let me know you are still here for us - could have made it without the weird weather though because I know you're there) because as soon as it turned 2014, it was like my whole perspective on things turned around and we ended up getting a new car and moved into a new home after having our second son (Hello Saturn! and double-wide trailer - don't hate!). Did you really read that?</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="font-size: xx-large; font-style: italic; text-align: center;"> A SECOND SON!</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Anyways, ahem.. more on that later because I need to get back to the story I was going to tell. OH yeah, cosmetology. So here is the thing, I need to get ready but I wanted to keep everyone posted and to let them know that I am back and ready to attack. Thanks <a href="http://instagram.com/iisuperwomanii">@IISuperwomanII</a> & <a href="http://instagram.com/jadahdoll">@JadahDoll</a>, I owe you one!<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /><br />Can I say that I am super excited for starting because of this very video and this is literally my first day back in college. Wish me luck..I'll need it with all those personalities! I feel like I'll be working with drag queens..(just kidding, but that'd be awesome).</span></span></div>

'Get Ur Freak On' from the lovely Missy Elliott, 'Break On Through

played through a remixed version of the safari hunt theme in the

providing the highlight of the live-music soundtrack and holding her
own on the catwalk with some of the world's top models. Her new

after the Calendar Girls, Justin Beiber appeared with his new song
“As Long As You Love Me” through an acoustic set. What I had been
dreading for the past few months to watched, turned me into a Beibs
fan just from an inside joke I pulled with myself (the fact that I
pictured Zak singing up there and kind of felt proud!). At least you
can say that he sounds much better tha<span style="font-size: small;">n he ever did</span> from the 'Baby' days.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

soon as the glitter settles from the runway, the Victoria Secret team
will be thinking about next year's show. While it takes a year to
plan, it only takes about five months to see the vision come to life
and only that much more time to see the entire process on the runway. Are you ready for next year? I know I am, but only this time my
review will be the day after.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can already feel the tense
faces of those who feel the need of knowing and understanding why Wreck It Ralph
needs a reason to be in one of my parenting tips. Well you
cherry-chasing dot-muncher, I will tell you why.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Oh, you don't like Pac-Man? Too bad.<br /><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Just
take the hint that I am an adult in a child's body (a very tall body,
if I say so!) and that I want you to know that I absolutely loved the
Wreck It Ralph movie. Video games own my heart and forever will I love
references made within the movie. But why is this a movie to rave about
when it comes to parenting? Well....</span></span><span style="font-size: small; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">lets just say that his achievement to be fully-potty trained earned him a special trip in order to get big boy underwear...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">...for him to play with video game guns after the movie (also nothing new for us)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And there you have it, the reason why its a good thing to spoil your kid to new underwear, big boy (video game) guns, Taco Bell and a movie (might I add his first movie theater experience?) just for using the toilet on a daily basis for months at a time. Even if your child runs carelessly throughout the theater (like ours did), still let them have their big day.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After all, he or she will feel special for being embarrassed by the concept of peeing or pooping in their diapers and finally taking the plunge to poop in order to scream at the top of their lungs so they can say "I did it!". Be prepared and do not say that I did not warn you.</span></span></div>

even bat wing silhouettes! I want every piece and, between The Dark

that Audrey Kitching said it the best way when describing the Batman

better than the description considering that I am a huge fan of

character in Batman). Here is the link to the <a href="http://audrey.buzznet.com/photos/batmanxlazyoafcollab/?id=68261727#id=68261728">phot</a><a href="http://audrey.buzznet.com/photos/batmanxlazyoafcollab/?id=68261727#id=68261728">o album</a> if you want

significant other such as David who not only has the same vision as I,
but will include me in his plans for Sin7ul and become a Creative
Director (aside from the talented, Mr. JDBundy). </span></span></div>

short. Kind of ironic for the MLK, but get this... I am the Junior of
our family. Its kind of a joke / real relation to my immediate families'
dynamic. My dad and I are extremely close you see, and we share a lot
of things in common: our love for horses, kindred nature to living and
loving life, our natural ability to pull pranks, the awareness of how a
child should be raised (and this is no joke after I had Zak!), our unwilling ability to never turn down an argument, and the
list can go on for days.<br /><br />I could go on in other realms including
Valentine's Day and even Halloween, but I will save that for another

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">What a way to introduce Staying Healthy by simply saying the sex of a baby, or well.. the sex of a baby I'd rather have by the end of the year<span style="font-size: small;">!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Honestly, staying healthy should be a major priority for every woman who is either pregnant or wants to become pregnant. For me, I want to be able to exercise through my next pregnancy and to eat all the right foods, for what? Yes you guessed it, a girl! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span>Ah-ha, now you see where I am getting at with the title. Ever since I made up my mind about wanting a baby girl rather than a wedding in 2013, I knew that I had to make "this" pregnancy different because A) I had a boy and uh-duh, I'm sure you know that, B) my last pregnancy was anything but healthy even though it resulted in a healthy baby, and C) I want a baby girl so that only means eating the "right" foods with enough exercise.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Even though it is understood through my resolutions to become healthier through #11 Stick With Daily Routine and #13 Take Better Care Of Myself, the same requirements will be sought even if I have a baby. Starting in mid-February (when we get our taxes and purchase the treadmill off Jordan's hands), I will want to exercise at least five days a week and even if I have a baby, it will not stop me from wanting to exercise through two hours of treadmill, yoga and weights (as well as with swimming once a week, just because our family consists of mermaids, no joke!) until the precious baby arrives. Fourty pounds will NEED to come off me this year, no matter what! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />As far as nutrition is concerned, I will follow a baby-girl only diet even while I am during the conception phase. You never know when you conceive so its better to do it right than never, especially when a baby girl is involved. I will do whatever it takes, even if it means drinking a lot of pomegranate cranberry juice (I used to dislike cranberries up until Thanksgiving when I consumed myself of some cranberry jellies). <br /><br />Now that I got my plan down, can the baby just hop in my uterus already?! Just saying.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In about two weeks while working at Ross Dress For Less, our car broke down. At first, everything seemed like hell. Going to run errands, getting groceries, going to work...all of it. Just pure hell.<br /><br />Toughing it out, we walked everywhere on a daily basis. In combination of a three person household with a child, we each walked at least seven to ten miles per day. In total, that is far more than any average US citizen would walk in a given week if they were even lucky. But to add that on <i>every single day</i> for six months straight?<br /><br /><b>That would give the average US citizen a heart attack just from the thought, let alone having to actually do it.</b><br /><br />There
was this one instance where David, Zak (in a stroller, one mile is
enough torture for a kid to walk) and I ended up walking all over town
(approximately seven miles, not including the rest of what we had to
walk later on that evening) to get food at food banks. <br /><br />Just for
the record, before anyone wants to judge us on our circumstance, we live
in a home that has a total of $1500 in bills (which is the state
average for those with two-individual income and a child on the minimum with no cable, no phone and no luxuries).
At the time, Wilson and I did not have a job and was solely supported
by David's income. So it was a major blessing for Wilson and I to have
found a job when we did, or we really would have been on the streets and
that <i>just wasn't going to happen.</i> What we did without a car and
three jobs, was to support us in every way possible without starving
ourselves to death (it would have been nice to receive Food Stamps, but
we were "over-income"). <br /><br />My main goal in 2012 was to support my family and to get them back on their feet. That meant to have a job long enough to get everyone on their feet and to get Food Stamps so we could get bus passes while we waited on getting the car fixed. Adding Andre to the addition of our already three individual home with a kid, was just the icing on the cake. It helped me with being able to stay-at-home to watch my son and our animals, to manage the home, to start the jobs I originally wanted to do while working at Ross and to have more time for things that <i>truly meant something</i> to me, while he worked alongside Wilson and David at an operational business.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But back to the original story of walking seven miles to Food Banks across the entire town of Grand Junction. We ended up leaving at 10 and wound up arriving back home at 3 in the afternoon. Five hours people, five!? Add that onto the 20 pounds of food we each had to carry.<br /><br /><i>You would think that we would have slowed down<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">just</span></span> to smell the roses. Wrong!</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />David and I ended up organizing all the food we got into our refridgerator and pantry (which took at least some 30 odd minutes) before deciding on taking a break. This break so-called turned into watching a documentary named Dive! Living Off America's Waste.<br /><br /><i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;">"Inspired
by a curiosity about our country's careless habit of sending food
straight to landfills, the multi award-winning</span><span style="font-style: normal;"> documentary
DIVE! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and friends as they dumpster
dive in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles </span><span style="font-style: normal;">of
Los Angeles' supermarkets. In the process, they salvage thousands of
dollars worth of good, edible food - resulting in an
inspiring </span><span style="font-style: normal;">documentary
that is equal parts entertainment, guerilla journalism and call to
action."</span></span></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><br /></span></span></i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;">You would think that since we live in an economy with millions of families who starve on a daily basis, the economy would do something about it. Well you my friend, are most definitely wrong. At least for some people out there, they wind up like Jeremy Seifert who have been given the wrong hand in life and turn it into something positive. Something ful-filling and what can seem like the world to those who really need it. To coordinate and transport food to homeless shelters, food banks, food pantries and soup kitchens, seven days a week.<br /><br />To me, this man is truly inspiring. Inspiring enough that I will dwelve into the realms I would have never wanted to go in because of the waste involved, just to put more food on the table for my family and to coordinate a plan in order to reduce the amount of food just thrown out...</span></span></span></span><br />

<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have you ever watched Shameless (the American
version anyway)? Just note on why I ask specifically for the American version: much more raw (can you handle nudity? our family can..), easy-to-follow, and entertainingly brutal than the British version can ever be. Props to the British
version for being the first, but Michael Hissrich (the producer) made the US version more appealing to <span style="font-size: small;">its</span> audience.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The
American version follows the dysfunctional
family of Frank Gallagher, a single father of six children. While he
spends his days drunk (even leaving the states several times without
knowing, which <span style="font-size: small;">is</span> extremely hilarious in my opinion - but that's up
for you to decide when you watch it), his kids learn to take care of
themselves (mainly with Fiona, the eldest girl, in charge). </span></span><br />

<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now let me tell you, raising one kid is NOT easy
(even on a two individual salary)...but five others to feed, house
and what not, I honor Fiona's ability to do so without loosing her sanity. She makes sure that
e.v.e.r.y. single dollar is stretched so it makes a good use for what
the children and the home <i>really</i> need, without Frank's
back-stabbing help.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In honor of the show and the mere fact that every little thing must count, I decided to take the action upon myself a month ago when we had no money toward shampoo for like a few days (mind you, we're not poor...we just forgot to buy shampoo before we paid the bills!). I figured that since I really needed to wash my hair and our Dawn dish soap was available, I figured heck, why not?! The worst it can do is make my hair dry for a few days.<br /><br />Oh.my.goodness. The reaction of the Dawn in my hair as opposed to what I originally thought, took me by shock. <i>It was so silky after a normal shampoo and conditioner routine that I had to try it again the next time I washed my hair.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The same thing happened the very next time I washed my hair, which simply made me fall in love with the idea of saving money on shampoo while helping the environment of grease spills. Fiona, you're a lifesaver.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">(What I recommend is to use it every week, at least once a week to clarify your hair of all the natural oil<span style="font-size: x-small;"> bu<span style="font-size: x-small;">il<span style="font-size: x-small;">d-up</span></span></span>. I used regular shampoo the third time and it made it even more silkier than what my hair originally felt like the first time before I used the Dawn dish soap).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In approximately 17 days (or two weeks and 3 days if you want to get super technical), our Harley Quinn will turn one years old.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you asked David a year ago what I really wanted to do in 2013, he would tell you that I wanted to plan a<span style="font-size: small;">n intimate wedding of may<span style="font-size: small;">be 100 guests in Lexington, North Carolina in order for us to <span style="font-size: small;"><i>finally</i> ge<span style="font-size: small;">t married. <span style="font-size: small;">Wait, finally you ask?<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Let's jus<span style="font-size: small;">t say that when you file <span style="font-size: small;">your<span style="font-size: small;"> taxes joint<span style="font-size: small;">ly with your b<span style="font-size: small;">oyf<span style="font-size: small;">riend,
you become lawfully married in the state of which you have done so. So
be careful if you do not want to be "legally" married just yet<span style="font-size: small;">!<br /><br />For me, it was a different story. The mo<span style="font-size: small;">ment we signed <span style="font-size: small;">over<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">in agreement to becoming legally married, I started hearing wedding bells in my e<span style="font-size: small;">ars like my inner clock was running out of its tick<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">. But that was a year ag<span style="font-size: small;">o<span style="font-size: small;">, exactly on <span style="font-size: small;">January 26th, 201<span style="font-size: small;">2. Ever since, I had the running motion of <span style="font-size: small;">wanting to do anything possible to make sure that there was a ring on my finger (no diamonds, sorry<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">but </span></span>this bitch hates slavery!)<span style="font-size: small;"> and a w<span style="font-size: small;">edding of my dreams by August 2013.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to the first resolution for 2013, I need to become more feminine. With this start, I want to create posts on my blog every Monday and Friday. Beauty and Hair posts will occur every Monday, leaving Style posts on Friday. To introduce this post, I want to start out on Behind The Scenes with the MissGuided Spring/Summer 2013 office tour, courtesy of <a href="http://www.saraluxe.com/2013/01/meet-team.html">Sara</a><a href="http://www.saraluxe.com/2013/01/meet-team.html">Luxe</a>.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a scenario that has happened to everyone. One time in your life, there has been that one person to tell you that you hate a lot of stuff, are overly-happy, wayyyyy too bitchy, extremely over-powering, or something in "that" category. When someone has said such things, it is hard not to take the comment to heart.<br /><br />You know what though, let them say those things about you. If someone doesn't like what <b>YOU</b> are doing, then let them have their moment of self-pity on you. You keep glowing like a magnetic presence and let your radiance shine. There are <i>plenty </i>of people<i> </i>out there who will appreciate your glow and will illuminate your presence into their own.<i> </i>Such glow can give other individual's the confidence that they need in order to succeed in their own life and will give them a reason to be like "hey, I want to scream out whenever I feel like it and not bottle my happiness because others think its 'out-of-the-norm'".<br /><br />For me, I play the penis game out in public with my man. He also participates in the Pineapple game, the quick "bump-and-grind" (stop being dirty! we are that kind of couple who loves being intimate with one another and will let the other know <b><span style="font-size: small;">whenever</span></b> we need to), and will "play-fight" even though some people have asked us if we're in such an abusive relationship. I promise you!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whatever it is that you feel necessary to do, <b><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-size: small;">just</span></span></b> do it already. <span style="color: #111111;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">There is absolutely no <b>reason</b> for you to dim yourself or contract
your energy for anyone or any person on the planet.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #111111;"> </span></span>So from this tip, let your freak fly and not give a damn who cares otherwise!<br /></span></span><br />

If you don't like a certain thing, but you feel the need to do so because of it being a new trend and that you can maybe connect with people more, then do not do it. People will see that you are doing it just for the compliments and not because you actually want to do it. They will see right through to the lack of your enthusiasm when it comes to what you "try" to like.<br /><br />Coming from a Juggalette <span style="font-size: small;">herself<b> </b></span>and has been an example of reject by society, learn the simple fact that it is better to learn to love yourself with what </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>you </b>want to </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">do rather than to have a million friends and feel lonely on the inside because you really do not like what others love. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">More than two years old (and back when Zak was just a couple of months old), I purchased a book called Fabulosity: What It Is and How To Get It by Kimora Lee Simmons herself. In this empowering book, Kimora - a top model, mother to two daughters and one son, national media presence, and president and creative director of multimillion-dollar Baby Phat company - shares her personal secrets of success and Fabulosity. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Her book was and will probably always will be the instruction manual to empowering myself in all aspects of my life. Kimora would probably high-five me for listening to her when I kicked my ex-boyfriend to the curb after remaining a negative individual for almost a year and a half. Not only did I seek revenge on him from all the pain and suffering I had to endure, I learned how to unleash my inner and outer Fabulosity. Today, I am in a place where I want to be and I have a supportive fiancé who has let me quit my day job to do something I am most passionate about. Bless him for letting me stay at home while I watch our three year old and create the businesses of my dreams since September of 2012!<br /><br />Even though I am at that point in my life where I know I can make it while being a stay-at-home mom, I am at that road where I feel stuck. I got the house, a nice car, an amazing support system, the ability to be a full-time entrepreneur and student...but what I am lacking is a creative work-space. This is where I feel stuck and that is where Fabulosity: What It Is and How To Get It comes into play.</span></span><br />

Building a creative space along with an area that inspires me will help me step into the right direction while giving me that confidence to start my businesses rather than to be like "Ew, my walls are still white!"</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have always dreamed about being able to work from home and be my own boss. One of the many perks that comes with being a CEO is being able to get as many piercings and tattoos that you want. I mean really, what company policies will you have to live up to if you "can make the dough"?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Well, <i>if this woman can make the dough and become a success while raising several kids</i>, then you best damned believe that she will be modifying her temple. Unlike piercings, the uncoverable tattoos will have to wait until after I get married in 2014. Why you ask? Because that's how I want to roll and if I want to get a rib-cage tattoo or something that can be easily covered up under my wedding dress, then I will do it. I just do not want to start any sleeves and be up at the alter with something unfinished.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Piercings on the other hand, well....let's just say I want a lot of ear piercings and a bunch of time to guage them.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As you may or may not know, my fiancé is a rapper and has been apart of a <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/bundizzy">rap group</a> for several years with his best friend of over 10 years, JDBundy. While this may seem like an easy task, it will only include helping them with photography, web design, and getting them started so they start having shows. This may just be our year to get them a big name!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I get the idea of fixing up a starter home, but really? Every week there is something new that is wrong with this house and it seems to never end. At least the good side to it, is that we are renting it and whatever happens, the land-lord has to fix it. Aside from making sure all tiny renovations are covered, we would like to start decorating this home since we feel we may be here for a few more years. <br /><br />For starters, at least for this year anyway, I would love to start building my craft area in the middle room downstairs and to get our bedroom set up before working on any other part of the house. If I am down here most of the time, I need a creative space and right now, the white walls are lacking.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Not to mention, my butt needs to get into gear on becoming more OCD with cleaning because I've neglected that on my part for a while.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">David and I have talked about getting married at least for a year and we feel that it is only right to get married next year if we are planning on having a baby. While our wedding is only less than a year and seven months away (hello August 2014!), I do feel the need to make sure that I start on our wedding right away because we will be needing all the time and money we can get for all necessary preparations. So for this year, I would like to start on wedding projects both offline and online (through this blog anyway). </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Its also necessary that I get an engagement ring, but honey that will not include diamonds. My ring will be custom made by DesignMasters, an etsy shop that specializes in customized bridal jewelry. I've never been so heart-strung over a ring as much as I have for this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/109690969/14k-white-gold-three-stone-light-pink?ref=af_you_favitem">one</a>. While only $1250, it does not mean that David will be paying for most of it through a four month payment plan. Getting married is about combining your life, finances and what have you, so why not share the expense of a ring that can "symbolize our love". Our real love will be symbolized by becoming more closer and to love one another while we go through our trials and tribulations.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Aside from wedding preparations and paying for an engagement ring, I want to make sure that before my three-year old son has a name change before he goes to school. It won't be of good use to let your kid go into school with a different last name than your parents. That's like asking for my kid to get picked on and that will not happen. </span></span></div>

I am a concert person and missing out on conce</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">rts for two </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">years has been a drag. For 2013</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">, I want to see at least 5 concerts this year and this can include my man performing with his best friend through Sin7ul. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This one is pretty well self-explanatory. What you didn't know, is that I want to make one for my mother of me since I was a baby, of David and I, and growing with our kids.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Did I ever mention how many businesses I want to start? For starters, its this blog, graphic and web design, Hatchet Threads, Paws With Claws, and Wicked Minx Dreadfalls. This momma really wants to make the dough!<br /><br />For me, it would be a success if I could do the following for all five of my businesses: to start a yearly scrapbook, to get a business loan, to make a book of all information for each job, to get businesses cards, to have official websites, and to be consistent with my social media. Aside from my blog, I want to successfully start selling the merchandise that follows.<br /><br />There are also individual goals for each business, which includes the following: </span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>BLOG:</b> to be consistent with posting and to gain at least 200 followers.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>GRAPHIC & WEB DESIGN:</b> to start my portfolio and to successfully finish ten purchases</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>HATCHET THREADS: </b>extend the line and successfully finish 10 purchases.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>PAWS WITH C.L.A.W.S.: </b>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">to

</li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>WICKED MINX DREADFALLS: </b><span style="font-size: small;">successfully finish 50 sales and to promote successfully with my team of promoters.</span></span></span> </li>

For this year, I want to loose at least 40 pounds and the way I can get there is to challenge myself (whether it is rock climbing, 3k marathon or something of the like), getting a swim membership (which would be awesome since my son LOVES to swim and we could take him year round!), and to work out at least five times a week.<br /><br />As far as nutrition goes, I want to try to limit my junk food intake, take Alive! multi-vitamins, drink more fruit smoothies and to become more strict with my pesco-vegetarian diet (this means to limit my intake of steaks and chicken unless it is vegan friendly or organic). With the combination of both working out and eating healthier, I'll not only look good...but my self-esteem will be boosted ten-fold. Now what lady doesn't want that in her life?!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

self-esteem will be boosted through a healthy diet and exercise, do you
think I will be in front of the camera more? You best damned right I
will be. If I can at least be in front of the camera 50 times, I will
say that I accomplished something toward modeling in the near future.
With my self-esteem boost, I will want to have at least over 150 photos
of David and I (especially since we've only made about 20 since we got
together in 2011 and that's sad in my book!). There should be at least
over 2000 photos for my Colorado Sunrise 2013 folder and I want to
partake in the photo an hour per month for 12 months.</span></span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last and certainly not least, I want to be able to do two simple things (which may cost more than the measure of how simple it is). I want to be able to go to Ross and to meet up with everyone I used to work with, as well as to let Theron (the Assistant Manager) know the exact reason why I left, that I am making it, we have the car fixed (it was our inside joke), and that I will be visiting more often.<br /><br />Secondly, I want to be able to visit my family at least twice this year and to have David meet everyone (hopefully in both trips). My mom and I already agreed to let me and Zak stay for <span style="font-size: small;">three weeks</span> (if the pricing allows us to!) in May. Although she said she'd pay for the tickets, I told her I want to be able to help. The next time we go there it will either be after Zak's birthday or around Christmas, depending on when I walk for University of Phoenix.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In hopes of reaching all 15 resolutions, I know that I have to be consistent and to document all resolutions per month. Hopefully by the end of the year, I can say that I met my goals at least 75% of the way or more by recaping each month through <a href="http://beautesombre.blogspot.com/p/2013-resolutions.html">this page</a>.</span></span> </div>
