Happy Birthday BABY!!

2011-11-21T01:50:00.004-06:00

It literally feels like we just had you a few months ago. I can remember balling when we found out your sex. I cried to Mimi and then to Papa. We were all so excited to finally meet you. I'm in love with you in a way that NOTHING can ever come between our bond. Everyday with you has been amazing. I am thankful for you and Dada. I love watching the 2 of you sleep. The chemistry you both share is amazing. Mama's boy only exists when you are sick or Dada is working. From your many faces to your many dance moves, I giggle thinking that we have created a monster.

I'm sorry for tearing up while everyone sang "Happy Birthday" but I'm just so happy! So happy to be your mother and so happy to have given your Dada the best gift ever. I've captured so many memories of you within this first year, the 2nd is going to be even better.

Again, I love you with all that I have. Mama and Dada will spend the rest of our lives proving so. If I could carry you all over again, I would. ONLY the same, exact way. Hugs and Kisses to my Booski. If anything ever happens to one of us, always remember that it's because of you that we push so hard. You deserve the world!

Happy Birthday!

Bam Bam had an AWESOME 1st Halloween!

The Love of My Life

Happy 11 months to my Baby Boo, Drew!

2011-10-22T02:32:00.004-05:00

It makes me sad to know that my baby is turning 1 next month. I'm so anxious to see what his future holds. My favorite new thing about him is that he follows behind his Daddy everywhere he goes. Sometimes I feel like he loves him more..until daddy leaves for work. I hear "Da Da" 30k more than "Ma Ma" and I love it! I could write a book on all the great about him thus far. I can't wait for next month! Again, I may not dig other ppl's kids but I am grateful to have had mine. Happy 11 months, Baby.

Words will never express

2011-08-22T02:27:00.005-05:00

...the unconditional love we have for you. We love spending everyday with you. You teach mommy and daddy as we do you. When I pictured having children, I never expected to be blown away as I have been. We love everything about you. As active as you are, Mama is just waiting for you to start running. I appreciate you for making it easy for me. I wouldn't trade you for anything. As I watch over while you sleep every night, I pray that God continue to provide Daddy and me with the proper tools to ensure that you stay wealthy with love. Happy 9 months, baby. God-willing, you'll see 1!

You Are The Best Thing...

2011-07-22T04:11:00.004-05:00

Mommy and Daddy love you oh so much! We thank God for you daily. You have changed our lives forever.. HAPPY 8 MONTHS TO YOU!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

2011-06-19T00:56:00.002-05:00

We thank you for everything that you do. Happy 1st Father's Day! You are an outstanding Father and today we celebrate you (just a little more than usual). I love you babe.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!

2 years in!

2011-04-24T23:39:00.002-05:00

I LOVE ME SOME YOU AND OUR BABY BOY, DREW!

11 years in the making

2011-02-24T23:33:00.009-06:00

Everyone knows the story of how we met but no one knows that Babe stole me from my high school boyfriend. During our early college years he listened to Donell Jones faithfully. By the end of the first semester I had to decide:

Halfway into our relationship I told him that no matter what I would always:

Years later he decided to be together:

Through all of the ups and downs we've had I can truly say, "He's my lover, my baby's Father, my lifetime partner, and my friend!" Til this day WE:

Happy Anniversary (in 4 days), Booski! (last year this time, baby was made. Please, no repeats.)

he's growing so fast..

2011-02-20T00:23:00.004-06:00

and we love him so...

Thank you Lord for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us.

Wrapping up the year!

2010-12-31T18:43:00.002-06:00

What a year 2010 has been! I celebrated my one year anniversary, lost an in-law but gained a son and welcomed my cousin home. The decade didn't go too bad either. Yes, there are obstacles we all face big or small but in 2011 learn to embrace them because it could always be worse!

get them draws cleaned and that house in order before midnight!! Leave all negativity behind after today and remember to eat those nasty black eyed peas. Surround yourself with positive ppl and positive things will happen in 2011. Stay close to God and all things great. Be safe tonight. In Jesus name, say Amen 3 times. Happy NYE suckas!

A vow to my baby..

2010-12-22T00:07:00.002-06:00

It is my mission to love you, unconditionally. I promise to keep your best interest at heart when making decisions for you. I will make it easy for you to talk to me as u grow older and not judge you. When I am wrong, you will know. My pride will not take over the love I have for you. I will NOT stop being your Mother when you become an adult. Nor will I make promises that I can't keep. I'm not striving to be your best friend, just someone you can confide in. Your future will never be jeopardized by me. If there should EVER be a time where mommy and daddy struggle, understand that we will go without before you do. We're new to this parenting thing, but we refuse to fail. Always, I’ll do my very best to make sure you are loved... Happy 1 month!

Love,
Mommy

Last Call

2010-11-05T01:12:00.003-05:00

So, boo is working and I'm here waiting for my baby. Actually, I'm hoping he doesn't make his presence before his daddy makes it in. I HAVE NEVER been so emotional in my life. I have cried EVERY FREAKING DAY for the past 2 weeks! My feelings are easily hurt. I can't get through a TV show without boohooing. This is the pits! I bet you're wondering about the chronic constipation, huh? It's subsided. Now I have indigestion like a beast. This boy better have a lot of hair! I talk to him everyday and night. No longer is he doing cartwheels; now it's more rubbing his knees slowly against my stomach. Baby DRK's bag is packed and in the car. Car seat and stroller...check. My bag is still in the house and I have a feeling that if something unexpected happens, I'm gonna forget it! Again, I can't see how any man can let his lady go through this alone. It's a lot to handle at times. I've been doing well up until now. I'm ready to see my boo #2. Nervous yet? On and off. I'm more so worried about how much breastfeeding will hurt. My doctor says I'll be able to sand paper walls by the end, hahahahaha. Considering there are only 3 weeks left, this is probably my last blog until he gets here. Welp, time for Ambien. I need sleep.

He's almost here!

Birth Prep Class

2010-10-04T23:44:00.004-05:00

Welp, 1st birthing class is out of the way. It was quite interesting and entertaining. I really thought Dimi and I would be distracted or bored. I'm extremely proud of him. The man didn't embarrass me tonight. We met some interesting couples as well. It's good to see people with personality in such a personal environment. We won pregnancy Bingo and our gift was a swaddle cloth....didn't put that on the registry... With only so many (little) weeks to go, I'm getting more and more nervous. Not looking forward to an 8 to 10 pounder traveling through something the size and width of a strawberry, perhaps. SSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH Next week, LABOR VIDEO! I'll be sure and bring my earphones for Pandora while everyone else watches the video.

where is my baby??

7 months

2010-09-12T17:14:00.003-05:00

Welp, my bowels are back to normal! The most annoying thing now is shaving my belly line ever so often. It's funny how hair just grows at its on command. This (pregnancy) has definitely been a smooth ride for me. Me deciding to get pregnant is God's way of saying, "Don't knock till you try it." I'm not sure yet if I'll do it again but for now, we'll just enjoy the many experiences day by day.

Here's to you...our final trimester..

6 months

2010-08-14T22:07:00.003-05:00

halfway mark..

2010-07-18T21:31:00.002-05:00

20 weeks for you technical mothers and 5 months for the rest of us!

My pregnancy thus far...

2010-07-12T23:45:00.004-05:00

So, we're almost halfway through the pregnancy and I've decided to share this experience publicly. I'm aware that every pregnancy is different. GOD has blessed me thus far....easy going. I may have a few complications but nothing that makes me regret this decision. To be quite frank, I saw myself dreading pregnancy.

In the beginning, I had a random craving. Dimi and I hopped in the car and started moving. I wasn't sure of the destination once we got on the road. I started out wanting ice cream. 25 minutes into the drive, I discovered I'd rather have Grandy's rolls. We ended up ordering those along with okra and fries. Since then it's been pretty normal food cravings. My top 3 places to eat at any given time are Taco Bell, Chipotle, and Chick-fil-a.

Thankfully I have a man that shows interest throughout the WHOLE process. He has attended EVERY visit with me, not to mention every experience as well. The least my OB and I could do was show Boo what women go through. He sat through the probing and pap smear. It was beyond hilarious.

The changes in me are baffling. You start out fluffy. I was showing at 2 months. Your clothes look frumpy. The only thing that still fits cute are my shoes! The doctor says I've only gained 3lbs. UNBELIEVABLE! I just pray that I don't come out of this experience looking like a sponge. So many females have. Jesus be with me. I HATE SWALLOWING PILLS. My throat is not made for this. Constipation is out of this world. It feels like labor in the butt. I keep a fresh bottle of water under the sink...in case I need assistance pushing. Only once, did I think of having a Whitney and Bobby moment. "Be careful what you ask for." My b's have become swangaz! The soreness has faded but the milkman is in business. I went from wearing camis or dresses without bras to purchasing new bras. There are times when I feel like they're on the ground (looks to the floor). Maybe cement is formulating inside instead of milk. It's no secret that I have a big nose but man I'm not looking forward to the spread. Back pains and migraines are worse than before. The most difficult symptom to deal with right now is salivation. It's thick and sickening. Some gagging may occur but pickles seem to ease the discomfort.

That's all to share for now. We intend to take it day by day. I'm enjoying every moment. I welcome no horror stories because once again we are all different. I am concurring my fear of pain for the meeting of my baby boy.

There Goes My Baby.....

2010-06-25T22:50:00.002-05:00

we found out the sex of Baby DRK earlier this week..

WE made it!!! One year down.

2010-04-25T00:14:00.004-05:00

They say the first year is the hardest.....hmmm, not so much. I loved it. We've had more fun married than dating, in my opinion. We are blessed and that is all that matters. God willing, there will be more. Yes, the"belly bump" is in effect. Love you Boo Boo. FUnny thing about our trip right now is, we are BOTH sick!!!!

2010-04-13T13:53:00.000-05:00

2010-03-26T03:54:00.001-05:00

I love him.....

that is all.

And we still......10 yrs later

2010-02-28T06:02:00.002-06:00

Do u know what today is? It's been a long decade 02-29-00. Feels like it was last week when we were breaking up just so I could lose 5lbs (it was a mind thing and it worked). It took time to realize that the grass is never greener on the other side. I used to sit up with this anxious desire to know what our future held. On the outside friends and fam see the happiest and "funnest" couple and I'm finally at a stage in my life where I 100% agree. Let's face it, he is a family favorite. He was made for me. It's great to know that 10 years later, I still make him smile and he sees me as he did day 1. Most of all, he loves me without being told. God willing we'll see another one. Happy 10 year bae!
Please Lord make sure he keeps his baby gravy to himself tonight :).

No matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. - The Notebook

Kings' 1st CHRISTmas

2009-12-27T17:11:00.007-06:00

...Well it was straight as usual. Every year gets better and better. I appreciate having the opportunity to sit and marinate in the time spent with my family. I'm usually working and leaving Christmas Eve in heavy traffic and returning back to work the following day. Boo was thankfully home to enjoy this Holiday as well. In addition, we celebrated our 8th month anniversary.
I loved the fact that Austin had snow flurries and all I packed was a lightweight, leather jacket and thin scarf. The scent of hsit swayed through the house while Daddy cooked his homemade greens. Ahhhh, the feeling of your stomach turning in your sleep.
The bond of my family has thickened. You'll know where Im coming from if youve ever spent time with us. Granny picked up a new phrase, "go kill yaself" and I managed to take the sweater off my Auntie's back, literally. Thanks to my Bro, I'm hoping for better sleep habits. Christmas was great! Allow your ppl to smell the flowers while they can. Who knows.....maybe Ill be blogging about our first sonogram by April (Kanye shrug)..

Wrapping up 2009

2009-12-22T04:35:00.005-06:00

WE sometimes take GOD for granted. Not everyone may feel they have experienced how great HE can be. Your existence is enough. I have many talks with HIM about what my next purpose is. I always structure my conversation around guidance, never asking HIM to give me anything. Ppl always ask why I stopped working and I feel it is because HE said it was time. Time to change it up. Anyone who knows me, understands my work ethic. Once I became Mrs. King, I had to leave behind what LJH had done. My deeds with family and profession were done. I spent a lot of time meeting the needs of others. If money, time , or work was needed I made sure that void was fulfilled. I am overly gracious for my husband taking over the role as the profit, protector, and provider. No way is this permanent. The "Go Getter" just wants to make her next move her best move. I guess I write all this to say that GOD don't make mistakes. We're on our way into 2010; if u haven't found your purpose by now, its time to reevaluate what's important. Support one another. I'm not perfect, but I believe I know where I'm going.

Mr. and Mrs. King's 1st Thanksgiving

2009-11-26T22:17:00.004-06:00

....So I took it upon myself to cook dinner. I had no idea how much work was put into it. Note to self: ake sure Sage is in your spice assortment. Kenya and myself had good everywhere to find it. We even visited an Indian Supermarket..still came up short. Although, there was consumption of herb in my body. My pores bled for about an hour. Finally we found the sage at Tom Thumb for 5 damn dollars. There were no worries of me messing up, being that my parents know how to throw down. I just don't do it. It takes too long to complete. Below are pictures of the dishes prepared and the itis that kicked in.

Let me count the ways...

2009-11-09T16:46:00.008-06:00

....A few reasons that allow me to love you...

your dimple
your perseverance
your armpit scent
you let me be myself
your corny jokes
your whack sense of humor
your touch
your laugh
your hair
your smile
your sarcasm
your charisma
your funny sense of style
your scent
your support
your companionship
your friendship
your tenacity
your courage
your hustlerisms
your t-shirts I wear when youre gone
the thought you coming home
your personality
your desire to please
the way your eat chicken
the expressions you make while fixing something
yo big booty!
your intellect
your having an answer for EVERYTHING, even if the answer is completely left
your level of concern for me
your taste in music
your rap music
your handiness
your patience
your need to be right

...AND SO MUCH MORE!

There's Hope

2009-10-28T03:01:00.003-05:00

I just found a pic that was designed after we broke up for the last time. I don't know if Dimitrius ever saw this but he will now. Couples can persevere through anything. If it's meant to be, it will happen. I've always been that way. Lesser than 2 yrs later, we did it.

Happy 6 mths boo boo...

"Happily Ever After"

Guess what i did today
Those were the words i said to you
It was last May, don't know the exact day
In my hand there was a ring
And you told me that you loved me
More than anything in your life
And i asked you would you do me
The honor of being my wife (yes i will)
I will be your man, your protector, your best friend
'Til my humble life is ended
Then time begins again (couldn't we)

Couldn't we please be happily ever after
We can be strong together for so long (our love goes strong so long)
Couldn't we please be happliy ever after (couldn't we be, baby)
Leaving you never stays forever strong

When i was away (umm...hmm)
Some friends became just faces
Some people grew apart
But you stayed right in my heart
In so many times, could picture this day inside my mind
And for so many years, ooh
I knew it would be you here with me, ooh (yes i will)
Take you for my wife, the center of my life
And i will never ever fade
From this choice I've made, ooh...oh

Couldn't we please be happily ever after (come on)
We could be strong together for so long
Couldn't we please be happily ever after
Leaving you never stays forever strong (hey...ooh...hey yeah)

You don't have to look no further than me (don't look no further, baby yeah)
You don't need much more than my lovin' to make you happy (I'm so happy, babe)
Beneath the side of God, i will make this vow to you (come on baby)
I'll be right here, stay with me (stay with me, baby hey)

Couldn't we please be happily ever after
We could be strong together for so long
Couldn't we please be happily ever after
Leaving you never stays forever strong (no, no i will never leave you, ooh

Black Romance

2009-09-24T23:55:00.012-05:00

If I had the chance to meet any Black Power Couple, it would be the three above. They all compliment each other in the most respectful way. To me, the root of it all is to know what works and companionship. In my personal relationship I feel that myself and my King possess the same qualities as these impressive men and women. How often do we express the beauty of black romance with one another? Expression of black romance is seen by others. It's not just physical. I sit up and I think to myself...I tell Dimitrius every chance I get how cute he is. I kiss him. Fruitful, we are. Short kisses here and there, hugs to embrace the warmth of his body. At times I look at him while he's working just to catch that indentation on his cheek appear. Physically we do change, but I love my man everyday the same as I did when I first told him I loved him. Which that moment happened in the bathroom of his Mom's apartment. One once asked was chivalry gone? No, perhaps the woman can play a role in opening the door, taking the bill, rubbing his feet.
Now yes, there are days when we feel defeated but Im sure the first couple does as well. After defeat comes the best love making in the world! If you think it's great before you disagree then wait until the end of the storm. I see him as the greatest human ever made for me.
He finds me humorous and spontaneous. And I find him predictable and complimentary.

PS I love to watch him sleep...

Happy 5 months Babe!

I salute you

2009-09-02T14:39:00.003-05:00

Every once in a while it is a couple's duty to give thanks for each other and show appreciation. I love everything about you. You make me better, just a little bit everyday. I'm your Bonnie and you're my Clyde. This journey you have taken me on thus far has been truly fascinating. As we took those vows not only did we make a promise to one another, but to everyone that shared that day with us. As ur wife, it is my pleasure to support you, make you want to come home, and make you proud to have me on your arm.

Our 1st baby, Rileigh's, first day

2009-07-08T20:43:00.008-05:00

Today we brought home 6 wk old Rileigh King. I went thru hell and hot water to get him. I feel like I went through labor. I plan to take great care of him. Right now we are letting him walk around and get a feel for the place. He loves my scent so far. Here are a couple of pics and a video.

The Honeymoon

2009-05-01T23:02:00.009-05:00

Dimitrius and I have been in Costa Rica for a while now, 6 days to be exact and I am extremely ready to return to the states. You see so much here. I forgot my digital camera at home and our cell phones don't work over here so I was only able to capture still photos of everything. The first thing is the fact that there is this gravel road that separates city from the resort. The road is 5 km long and it IS the bumpest ride u will ever take. Pot holes, the worst. Shout out to the KIA owners. I've also noticed that every daewoo, kia, and hyundai that the US has rejected is definitely here. That Kia Sportage did the damn thing. Dimi says that KIA should come over here to do a commercial. Just take 30 seconds to ride on that bumpy ass road. The kids have a shack for a school and not only that, but I've noticed that the little kids attend school maybe 3 days out of the week and get out around 11. The older kids go about twice a week. I saw noone at school today....and we complain about our school systems, hell Ima keep my mouth shut. The bulls here are out of control. They own the streets.
I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with the way we raise our animals. These bulls are the most malnutrition creatures I've seen in my life. You seriously can't tell a bull from a cow. All I wanted to do this week was lay out in the sun and get a tan. I did that x2.
Tamarindo is a city right outside the resort with different areas to eat, drink, and lay on the beach. The clothing that they sell is overpriced and filthy. It's 50% off in places if you pay with cash and only 5% if u pay with their money. The damn super mercado was like walking into Fiesta without air. Frozen foods were half way refrigerated. No air circulation even existed throughout the entire store. The temp outside was already 989 degrees. We later got smart and discovered an auto mercado, which felt like Waltmart! I doubt if there are any laws in this country either. We had to carry a copy of our passports in case we got pulled over. Not only that, but they bribe you to keep you from going to jail. Whatever cash you have on you, they take it. We kept no more than $40 at one time.
All in all, I had a great time. If you come to Cosa Rica, stay at the JW Marriott and ask for Margarita or Alejandro on at the pool. Tamarindo is a good place to go eat and save money on groceries. Understand the currency so you dont give yourselves a stroke when u see the price of things. 7000 colones equals $13....and go from there. Im so ready to return home. I am extremely homesick. I sure as hell pray that I didnt catch Swine's Flu either.

In the end......

2009-04-27T17:50:00.003-05:00

Bridezillas is now gone. I've said "for richer or richer", "I do". I have been under a lot of stress and now I find myself relaxed and serene in Costa Rica. I want to thank everyone that shared this moment with me. Dimitrius lies beside as my husband....how cool is that? I'm going to do my best to make him happy. this wasn't meant to be long, just had stuff on the brain. Now im about to go outside and soak up the sun.

Full Force

2009-04-17T00:41:00.003-05:00

I am beyond upset right now. I am entirely frustrated with everything! I have the most lame, cheap,demotivated, obnoxious bitches in my wedding. I am supposed to be happy. These are the times that we live for and the shit is just ridiculous. Bridezilla has started taping and I'm afraid that they are about to catch some heat. If I would have known it was going to be this damn bad, I WOULD NOT have had most of these trifling bitches in the wedding. I'm so close to promoting bitches to guests. I'm sure we'll do fine without them. They have had 11 months to prepare themselves for this and shit ain't even together. I've been trying to hold my tongue because I know I can be a heartless person but at the same time, I shouldn't have to even put up with this. This is stuff people do around prom. Yes, high school. I'm tired of people complaining when they already know I'm far from a have-assed person.Bitches bet not expect much from me right now, because I'm sooo done. I just wanna sleep and wake up and it be over with!!!

FIRE PROOF...

2009-04-12T21:37:00.002-05:00

The final assignment given by Pastor Scott was watch the movie, "Fire Proof" together. He says that any married couple has to partake in looking at this movie. Besides the horrible acting and the one, familiar face, Kirk Cameron, the story has a great plot. Not to spoil the story, but it's about a couple on the verge of divorce that lacks the most important thing in their marriage. At the end of the day, never leave your partner behind.

Oh, the feeling...

2009-04-07T05:25:00.003-05:00

I'm not sure how to feel right now. I think, more than anything, I'm just ready to get this over with. I went a picked up my easel portrait and just dazed at it for a while. I think I'm still in shock. Never have I been the type so say I'd be where I am now ( getting married). I sit here restless, thinkinkg, intensely. It's going to go either way. Maybe I'll be really good at this or terribly bad! Cameras or no cameras, this is real! I'm going to go through every possible emotion on the days leading up to. I'm not sure if I'm rushing into it, but I am sure that he is the one that I want to wake up next to for the next "several years". I am realizing that it's the little things that keep us together. An example he texted me 2 days ago and wrote Musiq- beautiful, download it. Then he proceeded to write, "I think of you when I hear this". My mama asks me every time we speak whether or not I'm nervous. I respond with no. She says it's ok because she's nervous for me. At the end of the day, I am making the right decision. Dimitrius has stepped up to the plate and is claiming what is his and I respect his gangsta for that. Baby, that's just why I love you so much! Good night!

Bridal Portraits are dunzo!

Well, I took my bridals yesterday!!!! Now, it hasn't been windy all
week long, but soon as I'm ready to take my pictures, that wind just
starts blowing!! I had to ride downtown in my gown because there was
nowhere for me to change. Me and Tanya did our facial run-through with
Ms. Marlo; Kendra curled and pin tucked me up and we were on our merry
way. I'd show you the proofs, but I don't want to spoil the fun,
because I'm realizing that people really do pay attention to my blogs.

The deal has been sealed!!!

We've purchased our bands and pre-marital counseling is over!! So, it took us two evenings for Dimitrius to decide what band he wanted. I went into it thinking that we were going to come out with a tungsten band. Well he rocked my world!!!!! We all know that those bands are under $300. He decides that now HE wants some bling! With much disappointment, I give him what he wants. I bet Tanya will be ecstatic about this one. In both stores it took me no more than 15 minutes to decide what I wanted. At the end of the day, the rings somewhat, compliment each other. I think we have 48 days left, so now I guess I'll get started on my list now. Tootles!

I found my reception dress and shoes. I recommend anyone looking for a gown, drive to Frisco and get a great experience. It is totally worth it! I went in, said what I wanted and they found it!!! Efyouseekay DAVID"S BRIDAL!!!

my funny valentine

2009-02-14T10:40:00.003-06:00

This year I decided to do something different. I got a little creative and decided that I'd create a calendar. What man wouldnt want to look at the woman he loves EVERY SINGLE DAY? The shoot was nothing like the ones I'd done for pageants. It was a lot of fun. I will admit that I was shy in the beginning. the funniest thing, I consider myself to look decent undressed. Well as we finally decided on a look, I went with the 1 piece instead of the 2 piece. Thank ya JEEESUS, I did. What ab, muscle, or tone I thought I had, disappeared on camera and was replaced with, flab, stretches and extra meat. LOL. All in all, I think the pics turned out great. Hell, I may get discovered once these pics get copied!

DAVID'S BRIDE IS PISSED!!!

2009-01-05T21:18:00.004-06:00

THE BLEMISH THAT YOU SEE IS NOTHING LIKE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. I HATE THIS PLACE WITH THE MOST PASSION THAT ANY ONE PERSON COULD HAVE!!!! NOT YET HAVE I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. I GOING TO TRY TO GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT USING FOUL LANGUAGE. DADDY SAYS PEOPLE WHO USE CURSE WORDS, REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. I RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE GETTING MARRIED STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS MENTAL INSTITUTION. IF I COULD SPEAK ABOUT THEM FREELY WITHOUT DESECRATING MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, I WOULD IN MY SPARE TIME, DURING AN ARSONISTIC MOMENT, BLOW UP EVERY SINGLE ESTABLISHMENT IN THE US OF A!!!!!! THEY CAN NEVER GET SHIT RIGHT. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING; THIS TIME IT'S BIG! MY EFFING DRESS ISN'T EXPECTED TO ARRIVE UNTIL 2 WEEKS BEFORE, DUE TO EXTRA LENGTH NEEDED. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ORDER A DRESS KNOWING IT WOULDN'T ARRIVE UNTIL 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEIR WEDDING? I'M ON A NEW MISSION TO FIND A NEW DRESS AND YES, I WILL GET MY DAMN MONET BACK, FASHO! FORGET TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT, SPEND BILLIONS ON A GOWN THAT YOU'LL NEVER WEAR AGAIN AND WAIT FOR YOUR DAUGHTER TO WED, SO THAT YOU WAIT TO PASS DOWN TO KNOWING HER ASS IS TOO BIG!!!!!!

Price of entertainment...

2008-12-28T22:06:00.002-06:00

I am wedded out! I find it very perturbing that I had to make all these accommodations for people on my very own day. I have basic requirements that can't be met. You could say with the price of what everything costs, people would be willing to do the small things. Hell, they're being catered to for 1 1/2 days on us. If it were up to me, they'd eat once and drink water. I request that family members wear black or blue for the sole purpose of photography. I prefer black with a pop of blue. I originally wanted it to be a black tie event due to fact that I am a fashionista and nothing less should be expected of me. Dimi claims people should wear what they want so no one has a reason not to come. I am nowhere near traditional, so I would expect no one to expect that. First off, this is an exclusive event. I know lots of people but only a select few will be invited. My immediate family, friends, and co-workers will be the only crowd attending. I'm past everyone elses suspense on what the day will bring. I am going to do what will make me happy. We have decided to get a wedding planner for the simple fact that I just don't have the time to plan by myself. My pretentious bridesmaids don't believe in manual labor. I'm still in search for a DJ and another photographer. I'm about to go off the deep end, shotly.

2008-12-01T03:37:00.004-06:00

My friend, Jacque sent me this in an email. She thinks she'd be crazy to get me this as a bridal gift. I'd have to think again about this one. Dimi is gone quite a bit.....

A KING'S LOVE

2008-11-25T00:44:00.015-06:00

We've had a trying relationship. Many bitches and dudes have come and gone...well not THAT many! The grass is NEVER greener on the other side. Dimitrius and myself are at a place where it is time. Our relationship is one of a kind. We break for the worse and pick right back up like nothing ever happened. If you've ever seen "The Notebook", then you've seen our story. I have befriended a damn shrink behind this man. I honestly never thought I'd be in a position where I'm planning a wedding! The happiness that people see, definitely has some suppression behind it. We've worked hard to get where we are, but what can I say, HE completes me.Women gold-dig to get to the top and me, it just gets handed to me in a sense. Hell, let's be real, I made him for me and no one else. We started at the bottom together in the UTA dormitories. I have an extreme attraction for his level of intelligence. My babe has those cute little dimples that appear when he smiles. I notice this thing he does with his lips when he's playing video games or pretending to be Mcgyver. He turns into L.L. for a minute with all that lip action. He makes me laugh even though I find many of his jokes corny. I support him in anything he does whether I'd agree with it or not. I love the fact that he is willing to take risks. If I had a dollar for every time we adjourned and saved them, this wedding would be paid off. That would be the reason I'd become demented in the past, present and in the near future. Sorry, adhd kicking in... Are we seriously going to have to fornicate at an old age!?! When is old, too old to fornicate? OK, back to our regularly scheduled blog. He is my soul mate and I pray that one day I can give him in return what he has given me. I don't necessarily have much experience or guidance on how to make a marriage work but I do know what not to do. I guess I won't be the old lady with 13 cats living in the corner house!

June got em going KRAZY

bridesmaid humor

WHO DO THESE FIRST 2 SENTENCES REMIND US OF??

"She says she's my friend," thinks the bride, "but will she attend 10 events related to my wedding, drop $250 on a dress she'll never wear again (which I have chosen specifically for its hideous color and unflattering cut that will make me, the beautiful bride, look even better by contrast), and smile while doing it?"

The answer, most often, is yes. There are, amazingly, few recorded cases of brides found dead on the day before the wedding, three fuchsia gowns pulled taut around their necks.

But wouldn't you rather your friends not be fantasizing about homicide as they pose for portrait number 1,280 on your special day?

Just know that I'm making sure you b!tches look as FAB as yours truly!!

I am..SAsha FIErcE

I've listened to this CD everyday since it was illegally downloaded by someone in my household (lol)! I still bought it though. Beyonce and myself have the same alter ego name. All of the tracks on Sasha's side are things I've been waiting on her to talk about and explore. There is no way a woman that bombshell and driven can stay humble after everything she's been through. I can relate specifically to "DIVA" and "EGO" for a number of reasons. There is nothing wrong with a female praising herself for a job well done. "Single ladies, Put a Ring on it", well let's just say I agree with Bey. If you liked it that much, you shoulda put a ring on it. My other favorite is "Hello". Babe you had me at hello and I've been telling you that for years now. "If I Were A Boy" is my least favorite song. Not only is it depressing but she's speaking about ish that we've already known about every dude walking. I say cry a river, get over it, and get even. They will only do to us what we allow them ladies. I'll play disc 1 when down and out and ready to kill a b*!ch. For now, I think it's time for me to learn to steps to this video so myself and my niece will have entertainment at Christmas time.

The Weight Loss Challenge

2008-11-19T16:15:00.003-06:00

My BIG DAY is rapidly approaching. Believe it or not I've been signed up for Bridezillas. I am extremely picky when it comes to spending my own money. The few that know me understand I will not look any kind of way especially on my BIG DAY! I'm far from being a plus size chick. I have a deadline to be a little smaller because I have purchased my wedding gown in an 8. For those of you, who have NO experience in this field, you must know wedding gowns run small. I love my body, small boobs and all, but I've got some friends who are doubting my success. This, will make me accomplish the the weight loss challenge. I'm in need of toning up a bit in my belly, leg, and arm area. Tanya and Kenya seem to think I'll be unsuccessful...TRAMPS. I need to rid of the fatback. I plan to achieve the 15lb weight loss by utilizing my weight watcher tools as well as my trainer. I'll keep you posted per month. Wish a sister luck!

Hi! My name is lajune and I'm on weight watchers...
