Ipod

So I called Apple today to appease my husband. Apparently to replace the screen on my ipod will cost me an estimated $129 . WHATEVER.. it seems you pay 80% of the total price of the cost of the ipod. I'm still leaning toward the ipod touch. I have a feeling this guy didn't know what he was talking about.

So not a good day...

Very rarely does mom get sick. Now I get the usual sinus problems, but only once or maybe twice a year I get a sinus infection. This time I got the germs from someone else. People seem to think they aren't contagious when they have fever. YES YOU ARE. I'm usually up on my vitamin C & whatnot but this time I don't know what happened.

It started Sunday, I woke up with a cough and I could feel fluid in my throat. By Sunday night I was threating a fever and went down about 7pm. It was a rough night and my cough woke me up seems like every half hour.

Monday, I opened my eyes but never got up. I had no energy whatsoever. I got up long enough to drop my son off at school and got back in the bed, I coughed so much that I ended up vomitting orange juice which was all that was in my system,after that I fell asleep. By 10:30 I had a little energy and thought I was well enough to wash my hair, sit under the dryer THEN go to Walmart. Well I guess its safe to say I overdid it. I came home around 12:30, went to sleep and didn't wake up again until 5pm, I even left bags from Walmart in the trunk for my husband to get out when he got home from work! But when I woke up at 5, my cough was quiet, ears were better and my raw chest wasn't so raw anymore. So I threw in a load of laundry, dried them then laid around for the rest of the evening, watched a little tv and surfed the web. I really felt fine.

Today, I get up, get ready for school, get there and was there all of 30 MINUTES! UGH! This time I decided to listen to my body and not try to push it. My skin was very clammy, I was hot then cold. My throat hurt and my ears were stopped up. So I sucked it up and clocked out and went home. I hate missing hours. I need 1500 hours to graduate, missing hours is NOT an option. But what could I do. So I came home and got back in the bed and have been here since. I've spent so much time in my bed that I'm getting a little restless.

I swear I'm taking a can of lysol to school when I get well. If somebody so much as breathe wrong I'm spraying their ass down!

This is what part of my bed has looked like for the last 2 days..the other side is my laptop, current hair & fashion magazines and the last book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. My husband cleans this all off for us every night.

Tonight I'm firing up the humidifier. I can't take being sick too much longer!

Pics & Such

Call me the LV chick...lol so my nails match my bag. My husband says it's ghetto..lol, I think it's something different and fun for the moment. Ghetto? yeah..lol, but it's alright.

Initially I took this picture, just playing around..who would've known tragedy would strike the next day :(

R.I.P. precious ipod..it's been a great 3 years :( Friday I dropped her at school face down and the screen cracked from the inside. Music still plays but I can't see the menu or any of my videos, movies, etc.) I was sick to my stomach but I'm better because maybe it was just time for another one. So by the end of the week I will have my new tunes in my possession.

So I've been looking at the Ipod Touch for a few days and I think I've narrowed it down to the 16GB with 20 hours of video time or the 32GB with 40 hours of video time. Can't wait to get'er home!

I think that's all I got for now. I'm coming down with a little cough and I got to knock it out before it turns into something else.

Peace

Today

I'm trying to get in the habit of blogging everyday again. I especially want to capture school memories as I will be done in 5 months.

Today was an interesting day. Some days I love my school, some days I hate my school. I don't want to focus too much on the negative but sometimes I have to vent. I might have to dust off the old journal that I got last year, so I don't have to vent so much on my blog. Anyway, I'm going to try to stay focused on graduation and getting out of there and getting on with my life. Some days are just harder than others.

One thing I will/have to say is I absolutely cannot stand drama-filled bitches. Really, is your life so miserable that you have to sit up & talk about everyone that walks into the room and/or cause so much drama & confusion. Either say it to their face or shut the fuck up! Really. Be a woman about yours. Oh, you can't cause you know you'll get knocked on your ass. Me personally want to karate chop you in the throat my damn self!

And if that's not the icing on the cake, you like to talk about yourself too! And not in a bad way, of course not. You like to name drop & talk about all you have, and all the money you have. Who gives a shit? Do you see a care anywhere on my face? Really, check my forehead..what about the eyes? Didn't think so, shut the hell up! If you had so much money, then why come back a few days later & tell a table full of people that you're broke & mama or somebody had to send you rent money. You sound like a dumb-ass, GO TO THE CORNER and stay!

People like to say I'm mean, but of course not to my face,lol..Really I'm not, I just say how I feel and if I don't give a shit...it is what it is..simple. Sometimes I forget I go to school with a bunch of 18-21 year old trust fund babies. It's done got to where I take my ipod charger to school with me, just in case. One day I forgot it in a rush to leave home and be on time. I turned the hell around & went back and got it, otherwise somebody was going to catch a wrath that day.

Right now I'm in the midst of distancing myself from the drama. I don't know if it's cause I'm older that people feel the need to complain to me about someone they have a problem with. I'm not a gossiper and I despise drama, so I usually change the subject or simply get up and walk away.

The last couple months I've been enjoying and looking forward to my Saturdays. Because I'm booked and have so many clients on Saturdays, there is no time for someone to come to me with b.s. By the time I'm done with my last client it's past time to go home.

Ahhh, the joys of beauty school. Who knew the beauty industry was so hormonal. LMAO

Man it's been over a month since I last blogged. I've thought about it but just haven't had the time or energy. Trying to think back over the last month or so nothing new or exciting has really happend. Even though I'm still just a student in cosmetology school, my clientele has picked up significantly. So much so that my Saturdays are usually completely booked by midweek. I've had to stop relying on the school to keep acurate records of my clients and services they receive. So I purchased a client book and have been keeping track of all of them, I even handed out so many business cards that I have to reprint them at least twice a week, just to keep some on hand. In all that, and keeping up with homelife, I find very little time left for things I enjoy like hobbies and definitely very little time for rest. lol Thankfully, I only have 5 months left of school, then I can take the state tests and get my cosmetologist's license.

I recently have forced myself to start back scrapbooking at least. My goal over the next few months is to get all my pictures printed, to be ready to go for layouts. I was a little bummed that I wasn't able to get a Project 365 kit but I'm over it. The project is still achievable. So I have been keeping a list of projects and getting supplies organized for what I want to work on in the very near future. Who knows, I may even get something together worth showing on the ole rusty blog. lol

Until then, I'm headed to bed. My sleep pattern has been off the last day or so. Falling asleep around 7:30/7:45 only to wake up around midnight and be up til 4:30ish. Was so not a happy camper. So I've forced myself not to fall over unconscious for the last hour or so, so I can get a normal nights sleep.

That's all I got right now.

A couple looks

I wanted to do a holiday look and I had one in mind only it didn't come out how I wanted it to.

Initially I wanted to use red & green. Well the green against the red came out looking black so it looks like a red & black look. Which is cool. It gave me an idea for another look which I might try tomorrow. :)

This look was inspired by someone else, titled "Rainbow Eyes" I fell in love with this at first sight and I just had to try it!

I also plan on doing a few tutorials while I'm on vacation. I've actually missed it. So who knows what I'll be doing. :)

Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone who comes across this blog is having a wonderful holiday season. My family was very blessed this year to still be able to provide the type of gift-giving we are use to in the midst of all thats going on in our world financially right now.

Anyway, I didn't ask for much this year as I have come to the conclusion that I have everything I've ever wanted and needed. I did receive an itunes gift card and I need some suggestions as to what I should get from itunes. So if anyone run across this and have some suggestions holla at me! I have so much music and tv shows already that I'm stumped on what I should use it for. I've decided to split it with my son since he got an ipod for Christmas. :) I'm such a good mom. :)

I can't believe there is only a couple days left in the year. Where did 2008 go!? It's been a decent year. I can't complain. Alot of good things happened this year. And I can only imagine what 2009 will bring.

I'm hoping to make some changes to this blog in '09 and really utilize it. I've really been thinking about becoming a beauty blogger. So we shall see where this goes.

If you happen across this blog, then thank you for stopping by.

Be blessed and be safe!
