Meet Charlie

There's a new addition to our house and his name is Charlie. He is an 8 week old brown tabby.  And he is a pistol. I forgot how much work little kittens are-- he is into everything!! Curiosity might just kill this cat but in the meantime I'll enjoy his cuteness.

Are those your nails?

My entire life I have been a nail biter. I have tried every intervention in the world to stop biting yet nothing has worked. Always. A. Fail.

Until, a couple of months ago. I found my intervention. All this girl needed was a ring on her finger!!

I couldn't stand to look at my pretty shiny diamond engagement ring & see nubs for nails!! So, cold turkey I quit.  I've even taken up a 'hobby' of nail art. Check out theses ALL natural, ALL mine beauties!!

DJAndiB

DJAndiB is in the houseeee!!!! Ok, yeah, it’s a cheesy 80’s  way to start a blog but if I were a DJ that'd be me...

As a kid, the question everyone wants to know is: What you want to be when you grow up?...As a kid I never imagined that I would I go into to education and become a teacher, hell, I surprised the world with that career choice. As a kid though, I always wanted to be a DJ. They had the coolest of the cool job. They dressed fly, they talked ALL the time, they were in all of the social hype. Plus, they got to be around music 24/7. What could be a better job for me?

While others were playing house and basketball outside, I was playing DJAndiB. My mom would clean the house and I would set up a DJ booth. So, how does one create a DJ booth, you ask? Well, I would baracade myself in a fort like set up, using chairs, and pulling them up next to my mom’s Philips stereo system. I would get my emcee on the whole time-- all while playin the cuts, making up commercials, promoting special events, ...you name it.


Believe me, it took real skill peeps.

Sometimes, I wonder how life would have been different if I had I actually become a DJ. Hmmm, is it too late to chase after those childhood dreams? Sometimes, I just want to quit my job and do it! Who knows, maybe I would be working for a local radio station? Or even have my own company that DJ's parties and weddings. I wonder if it would have brought such fullfillment that it did as when I was a child. Well, there's only one way to tell... yea, you guessed it... throw a party and yours truly DJ it!! Oh yeahhhhh. I'm already getting those warm fuzzies just thinking about it. Get excited, friends.... :)

It's the little things in life...

On rainy days when I have to be at work when I rather sleep-in, it's 'Opps, All Berries' the only available one time a year Captain Crunch cereal that always brings a smile to my face on these dreary mornings... We all know the berries are the best part!!! The breakfast of champions... It's the little things in life! :)
