Mom got some Cock in New York! (Wish I did, lol)


Yep, mom took it like a woman on a mission! We saw these huge statues and made mom "violate" it. Check out the lady passing bye, she was shocked.

Momma got a new pair (or 3) of shoes!





Well,




I just got back from New York with my mom and we had a great time! It was very full and didn't really have time to do the "tourist" thing but we got a few things in. FI loved all the shows we went to, Legally Blonde, Avenue Q and Hairspray! Think mom was a little freaked out about Avenue Q. For those who haven't seen it, it's a bit politcally incorrect. It was my favorite! We went to the Yankees game and they pulled through for us that night with an 8 to 4 victory! We also took a ride through Central Park but got a raw deal cuz the bike driver had just moved to New York from Turkey 2 weeks prior and didn't really tell us all about the park. He knew about some statues but that's it. He was a nice guy though. I really wanted a hot guy, but he did ok. I was not able to get mom into the spa because of time but I did get her a few pairs of new shoes and she got a pedicure. I was able to get Mom 3 pairs of new shoes that will give her better support. She about croaked that the bill was about $300 but thought it was a good price for good shoes. On the last day we ate at Tavern on the Green. Food was good! I ordered a special cake for Mom for dessert that said "I love you Mom" but they forgot to give it to us after eating. Our waiter came up and offered it to us then. Mom did get a few bites of it in the hotel room but 96% of it went to waste. After eating, we went on a cruise around Manhattan. It was nice but thought it was a bit too long. I was definitely tired 1 hour into it of the 2 hour tour. Glad we were pressed for time and couldn't do the 3 hour tour!

The Dust Rules!


I don't mind all the construction, but the dust is getting out of hand. I feel like I am the Coal Miners Daughter, I mean son. Take a look at The Foo Dog, it's covered in dust. I can dust and the next day, everything is dirty again.

Livingroom Update!



OK, so it has taken longer than expected but the living room floor is almost done. The slate has been put down and grouted but I still have a sealer to put on it. This is going to make the floor shiny.

Come Back Post.












Ok, I hope my come back is better than Britney Spears's comeback at the VMA's earlier this week. I received about 4 emails recently that started out the same way...... I keep checking your blog for updates, but you haven't written anything in a long time. So, here you all go. Going to give you an update and hope to keep you all caught up on what's going on with me.

The last photos are what the kitchen area looked like before and the blue and green are the new colors for the kitchen and the cabinets are there with the blue front. The first few photos are during the remodeling.
Ok, well, as all of you know, Tyson and I went to Nikki's wedding. Tyson and I got to the airport with about 90 minutes to make our flight. We go to the airport and I forgot to print out our boarding passes at home, so we had to wait in line to print thyem out. I have never seen a line so long. Geez. Well, when we got 20 feet from the kiosk, we looked at the monitors and it showed that all flight was already boarding. UGH... We were going to miss our flight. We haven't even went through security. My stomach was starting to churn. Damn, I knew I should have taken a few xanex. Well, we got our boarding passes and heading up stairs to go through security. The line was LONG! No way were we going to make it. It was already 20 minutes past the time of boarding. We got through security and now it was 35 to 40 minutes since we saw the monitor showing our flight was boarding. For some reason, I told Tyson we should run to our gate. Of course our gate was the furthest away from security. We took off running and we got about 50 feet from the gate and heard on the speakers that it was LAST call for the flight for Reno! We started running faster and we got on the plane. Before we could even sit down, they shut the door to the plane. WE MADE IT! I think I even had tears in my eyes. What a stress reliever.


Ok, we got to Reno, got out fabulous car and checked into the hotel. Wow, it was very nice. We went downstairs to the casino floor and gambled a bit. LOST! Wasn't fun.


I noticed that the camera I had brought for Ken and Dawnell was not good so we stopped by Circuit City and bought them a new Camera.


We got in the car and drove to Fallon! What a nice drive. A convertible car, great sunny weather and a beautiful scenic drive. It was nice. We got to Fallon and everyone was there. I can't believe it. I was seeing all my siblings, mom, aunt and nieces more than once a year. It was great. We all got ready for the wedding and headed to it. The wedding was nice and short and we headed to the reception. A cute little boy named Gage rode with me in the convertible. We was great. The reception started and it was almost time for Tyson and I to leave and I still hadn't met my sister's new husband or any of his family. So, I told Nikki and she introduced us and as we were talking (10 seconds in) someone else came up and he started talking to them.


Tyson and I left and drove back to Reno.




Ok, So my house finally closed and I started doing the remodeling right away. So much for planning everything. I ordered the new kitchen cabinets, the flooring, new kitchen appliances, paint. I ripped out all the old flooring (not in the same day!) and the cabinets. It looks like my house is post Hurricane Katrina! I can't believe that I am living this way. Hopefully the floor will be put down in the dining, livingroom, kitchen and bathroom and the marble put up on the walls in the bathroom this weekend. After that, I should be able to put up the kitchen cabinets. I am getting closer to having a livable house.




Work is going very well! I am having a great time and enjoy every minute of what I do. I have gone to California (Los Angeles) to help my boss's dad pick colors for a multi-million dollar house they are building in the hills just north of LA and help my boss's mom design her new kitchen. What a beautiful house they have in Beverly Hills.




A couple days ago, I invited my mom to join me in New York for the weekend in October. We are going to go to 3 Shows, Legally Blonde, Avenue Q and Hairspray. We are staying at a great place in Manhattan close to the shows, Central Park and Times Square. I am very excited! Both Mom and I need a vacation!




Last but not least, Tyson and I are no longer together. Don't want to answer questions about it and I am not devistated or anything like that. I just think I am too selfish to be with anyone. I think God sent us hear to learn a lesson. I think my lesson was to learn to love myself. My entire life I just wanted to be loved and would do anything for it. I was so focused on making everyone else happy and making sure that they felt loved that I forgot about the most important person, me. So, I have learned over the past few years to love myself. I enjoy the person that I am and know that my self worth is not judge based on my job, what car I drive, the clothes I wear or whether or not I am with someone. Just because I am not with someone, doesn't mean that I am not a good person. So, I finally have found the love I was looking for, it is the love that I have for myself.
