A day with my Sisters!

Saturday I took both of my sisters to the Baltimore Aquaruim. My have prices gone up. It is now $30 for adults and $20 for children. Back in my day(like I am old or something) I remember it being $5. Oh well... Luckly mom was financing this... LOVE YA...
Cara had a blast and that was what is important. My goal is to get the little demon out of the house and experience new and exciting things outside of shopping. Of course we still will make the stop in the gift store know matter where we go. But here are some photos of our day...

1st Day without my Bestest

So, today is my OFFICIAL DAY without my Bestest... my wifey... ASHLEY...I am trying to find the ways to cope with the situation....lol... I think I am okay now... I just pray I dont need back up for the next 20 days...

Now needless to say, she did leave me with instructions/daily instructions...

1. Wrap up the apartment(drop off keys/pick-up remaining junk)
2. Sell textbooks on Amazon.com ( we need $$$)
3. Keep my cell phone on @ all times(I am the designated 911 contact)
4. I AM SURE I WILL THINK OF THE REST... lol

Christmas Decorations 101

All I can say is... WOW!

After a long day of playing where in DC is Erin & Ashley to do some much needed shopping for our big extranganza on friday... We were off to the Sterlings residence in Baltimore...

Driving through the neighborhoods became an adventure of the Christmas lights show of the year. Who needs to pay Merriweather $20 to see some lights... When you can drive around town laughing your freakin head off trying not to blow any brain cells... I mean for real..

So we finally arrive at the Sterlings Residence to be greeted by an array of Christmas decorations that worlds can not describe... So of course I took pictures to share with you our experience...

Preparation for the 80th Birthday Bash

Tomorrow is the big day and we are preparing for the festivities... in the mist still dealing with my everyday life...

So last night I was out with one of my friends, when suddenly I received an urgent text message from my brother. Now let me say this... My brother barely even calls me nor sends a text... So I am to scared by this in the 1st place...

The text messages goes a little like this:

Jordan: we have a situation

Me: whats the problem... u have no more life lines

Jordan: a dress that looked good in the 1980s ain't gonna work... seriously...

Me: lol... ur so crazy

Jordan: lol I'm not trying to be funny, if you saw you would understand the seriousness of the situation.

Me: oh god!!!! NO!!!

Jordan:HOLY FREAKIN GOD! GRANDMA NEEDS HELP WITH HER WARDROBE FOR SAT. of course i told her she looked fine but you or mom need to break it to her that sparkles just wont do!

Now today after work I am headed to the mall to find this woman a dress, so she doesn't embarrasses me and of yea.. HERSELF... Lord help me...

Beauty is Pain!

Today was the offical day of my mother's transformation! How exciting can this be? Well...very... Except one minor aspect... Damn the pain! lol... But I can almost relate! Key word here... ALMOST!!!

After a long day... work... straight to class... and than the hositpal... I saw the newly reinvented DIVA! Boy is she hilarious when on drugs... She was so happy and almost cried to see me... Telling me how much she appreciated that I came and didnt have too... But this is my mother.... Where else would I be....

Now I must say... the hosiptal was quite nice. Private rooms... your very own nurse and tech... tv... and free local calling... I didnt get to experience the food though... as the darn Cafe shuts down at 8pm... Isn't this when the party gets started!?!?!?!?

Back to the Diva at hand... Looking good.. for being in the hositpal. In and out of sleep... But I would be to if I had all these drugs pumping through my system. She did manage to stay awake to listen the Vick Story and how much he stands to lose $$$$ wise... Oh yea... and some story about fat people... how ironic... lol... But the time is now coming for the private nurse to come in and do what they do best... ANNOY THE SHIT OUT OF YOU ... you may ask how... THEY ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE DIVA MOVE OUT OF THE BED.. I can only imagine how this is going to go down... They better give some major pain medicine...

With a very supporting job... and some great dear friends... They helped even me overcome the fact that my mother was going to be in a 8+ hour surgery... And you never know what can happen... But I thank you all for your support and prays and phone calls! It has meant a great deal!

Anyways... This is only day 1... I shall be spending the rest of the week with my Diva mother at the Estate! Beauty is Pain and we have a ways to go!!!! BUT WE GOT MEDS!!!!
