Days Go On and On….

Happy Hump Day all!

Here’s a little secret, being home sick for an extended period of time is BORING!  There’s only so much Cooking Channel, DVRed TV shows and pay per view movies I can watch. I bet if you  Google “couch potato”  you’ll  get an image of me!   So today I decided to take action to stop my growing cabin fever. I put on this outfit to get me out of my PJ rut and  went to the post office (which was a feat in itself due to the count that I’m still recuperating) to get some fresh air. I know that doesn’t sound incredibly exciting but it felt great to get out the house  and wear clothes that don’t have elastic in them!

Have a wonderful evening!

Vegas!

Happy Hump Day all!

Over the weekend I headed to Las Vegas with my buddy Tamera and her grandmother for a mini vacay. This was Tamera’s first time in Vegas and she had a blast! I played blackjack for the first time, won some money, ate great food and hung out all night (trust me I’m feeling it today! LOL). While this was my fourth time in Vegas its always a new experience with different people. Tamera and her grandmother (Granny as we call her) were the best travel companions anyone could ask for!

Here are a few pictures from my Vegas vacation!

Have a wonderful day!

Ooops I Did it Again!

Happy Hump Day all!

I had planned this elaborate blog post with pictures of myself and my family celebrating Christmas BUT while I brought my camera , I left my memory card back home! Arggh!  Don’t you hate it when stuff like that happens?!! My cousin Jessie was sweet enough to snap a picture of my outfit with my iPhone so I apologize for the grainy picture.  While forgetting my memory card was a bummer,   I had an excellent time with my family yesterday.  We spent the day  exchanging gifts, laughing and spending quality time with one another.  I am very blessed to have the family that I have.

How was your Christmas?

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday all!

My holiday social life kicked up in high gear last week and ended on a fabulous note.  On Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of having  lunch with a  group of beautiful and intelligent women.   We came together to see our dear friend who had come back East for the holidays. We discussed everything from “Scandal” (totally obsessed with that show!) to current political issues. I could kick myself for not bringing my camera to get a group shot of these lovely ladies!

Later that evening Tamera, Latasha and I got together for our gift exchange dinner.  This time I didn’t forget my camera and I was able to take some pictures between gift giving and laughs.  Dinner was delicious  and we had an awesome time.    After dinner we wandered the mall and finished our Christmas shopping.

While at Macys Saturday morning I saw this sequin jacket hanging on the rack.   This time last year I would have NEVER thought to buy this this jacket. I would have told myself that I looked like a big disco ball and passed it by.  Now I no longer feel that negative about my body so I snatched up the last 2x.   Once I tried the jacket on, I knew I was going to buy it and wear it to dinner that night.  I’m so glad I bought this jacket because it represents how far I’ve come from the person I used to be.

I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Have a wonderful day!
