The Quest for My Swagger Pt 1: The Shoes
The quest to get my swagger back begins. Up first, shoes...
A Look Back: 36 Weeks...
I realize now why some prisoners commit crimes shortly after leaving prison in hopes to be put back in (well, kinda). At 36 weeks and 1 day, I was allowed to finally leave the prison that was my bed. Although truth be told by that stage, I didn't want to. Well, I did but I was so tired most of the time that I wanted to run and do what I had to and then jump back into the bed.
Love Letter
I am proclaiming November as mushy month (and maybe December too). This letter is written for my sister, who I love dearly and is moving away to D.C. soon...
A Look Back
As I inch towards my baby girl's first birthday, I am looking back to the journal I have kept since we found out we were having her. It's amazing that a year has gone by and now I can hold her and cuddle her and love her all I want to (and I am not on bed rest: thank you Jesus!). Here's what I said to my frog princessexactly one year ago.
Confessions of a Skinny Bitch
I am a skinny bitch. I mean let’s call it like it is. I’m the chick you give the evil eye to when you’re at the gym (if, let’s say, I still had my gym membership). I’m the girl whose friends call her skinny bitch to her face and think nothing of it. I’ve always kept my mouth shut about being thin. Apologizing, without knowing , for the way I look. I avert my eyes when someone speaks about weight feeling as if I should take blame for someone else’s battles with their body. That’s about to end.
Not Yo Mama's Candyland and Other Halloween Memories
Halloween with the Frog Princess was wonderful. But there was also an awesome story hidden beneath an innocuous Halloween party...
Mami Mementos
As we approach the frog princess's 1st birthday, I am looking back and reading the journal I've been keeping for her since I was pregnant. I didn't write as often as I liked but, a few things have caught my attention. Sometimes I read some things and think: holy crap! Did I write that? This is one of those.
Got Costume?
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it reminds us to have fun and gets our creative juices flowing. Here, I talk about some of my costumes of Halloween past and look forward to Halloween future!
