I am so happy that I get to post. I have been dyin to get back to my blog. I have been dyin to do things for me, but hey, I know I will and I think that I actually have. Mia's graduation was a week ago. I am so proud of her. I thought that I would cry, but getting people in the pictures and coordinating shots really kills the whole ambiance and the moment passed. It was great! We screamed so loud for her and everyone knew it. Then we went to go eat dinner. Hometown here we come. The bill was like 264! There were a lot of people. Lots more pictures. Lots of food and lots of love. Lots of jokes and name calling and of course way too much chatter. It was great to have everyone there.

Friday. Work in the morning. Eat Wasabi. Had tempura green tea ice cream for the first time in like 5 years. MMMMM.. Ran some errands. Took Mia shopping. Went home. Set up. Rolled Lumpia (story of my life).

Day of Party: wake up. Get ready. Clean up. Take Mia to get her 8x10 developed. It looked beautiful. Went to get her outfit. Go home. Continue to clean up. Make party favors. Make board for people to sign. Get camera ready. Freak out about clogged sink.

Party: The food was wonderful. The DJ was great. Alot of dancing and picture taking. We were so excited that everyone came together and had a great time. The pictures prove it!

Next Day: Neeko's 12th birthday. First work all day. Kat dropped off food. Went home for about 10 min. Two cigarettes. Went to go buy cigarettes...witnessed beer run...kids suck these days. Castle park. Castle park was fun. I love taking pictures of my family having a good time. Then.... Dennys. Love eating! Obviously.

The past week was a lot of relaxing and tv and crocheting...but alas still no laundry. LOL!

Lot of stress this past week with the brown spots on the yard and the sprinklers and the landlord and the computer's pop ups... and as always financial problems have reared it's ugly head. But things will be okay....

Will it ever stop?

Okay, so my birthday, moving, mother's day, father's day and baby shower gifts, and work displays have come and gone in just one month. But now there is the craziness of my sister's graduation and brother's birthday in just one week. Party favors, candy leis, cleaning and setting up (party's at my place). It is so much later than I wanna be up, let alone I need to wake up tomorrow and get materials and make candy leis, run a couple of errands, and be at work before 11. Then I get off work at three. From there, I have to do my sister's make-up. Finish any leis that I can for an hour. Then the ceremony. AGhhh!! But I think that I am handling the stress and pressure and ticking clock alot better than before. It's all gonna work out great and I am so excited for her to be graduating.
But after this, Ryan's party and gift, then Alora, then the baby... then Nee.... oh and she graduates too.
I'm going to bed.

Finally... Pictures!






















Finally... I have a new camera and pictures on the computer. I opened a shutterfly account. So excited! I have a Fujifilm sd700. I love it. I love that it doesnt't go into my purse. It's my new baby. So much has been going on so far. Really enjoying and using up this day off. Today I am gonna take Mia's cap and gown pictures. Kinda nervous because this is the first time I will be using a background. Hope it works out well. I think I need to stop by my work and grab a spotlight. No fun. But we'll see. I love my new camera. And I have taken tons of pictures. Lots of the lil princess diva, we went to a club, Courtney's graduation, Samiyah's birthday. I opened my very own shutterfly account. Love being able to post pictures. Love it!

This Should Have TONS of Pictures

I am extremely bummed to say that I am without a camera. Yesterday we had a kick back to celebrate my birthday and there were tons of pictures. I mean all my good friends were there and people I hadn't seen in a while. Such cute good shots, wonderful party moments. Things that I wanted to remember. Memories that I know we would enjoy. But, alas, someone has taken my wonderful camera including my pictures. I am sad about it. I think it was these two girls that we didn't know and nobody cared for either. But, they deny having it and there's no way to get it back. UGHH!!!
The party was fun; my only regret is that it was, like I said, all my friends. So I had to entertain all these people, but I hung around my cousin, her boyfriend, my old friend Erica, and her boyfriend. They were the only people who didn't know anyone else. Everyone else could get into groups. I must say that I feel bad if anyone was bored. It was like a reunion for friends to act like it was still high school again. And I hope that no one hated it that bad. I enjoyed it, up until the case of the missing camera came up. I'm always such a worried hostess. But I started to freak out a bit because of the incredible mess. This morning when we cleaned up, it wasn't that bad. I must say that all the help was incredible, but my sister, Venisia, was the driving force. She did more work than I did.
I didn't end up going to the baby shower that I had requested this day off for since like 6 weeks. No gas, no money, no ride from a friend who super bailed and never answered her phone. But, it gave me some time to work on the diaper bag due for this baby shower (with an IOU for delivery this week). My goal is for the bag to be done tonight and the wipe holder and changing mat tomorrow. Once that is done, Father's Day display and then no more deadlines that I don't impose on myself.
Well, got tons to do before I go down for the count... only one more episode of Sex and the City... I swear!
