being broke

is no joke. I've never been this broke in my life! I don't know whether I am coming or going ... We said that we're saving for a SUV but why when its just us three and and our two cars work fine ... Then we switch and say that its for our cleaning credit jar, then a house, then a vacay ... but the only sure thing I know is that I am broke and I want to buy things. Okay, the things I want aren't the things I need but I want them so bad that there almost a need and now I'm wondering if that counts ... I feel like a kid on punishment and their allowance has been taken away and that is one of the punishment factors ::urgh::

The New Year is atop of us and I need to set a few resolutions ...
(1) to stop spending frivolously..,.
(2) to be the black Martha Stewart, both home and kitchen
(3) to actually see through a few event plannings ... ::urgh::

Now that I am thinking about it, Mister Marley's birthday is less than 8 weeks which means I need to get the ball going on his party planning and maybe that'll be one of my resolutions but before I jump to 2/14, I need to get to 12/25 ... OH NO Christmas is fast approaching and I haven't bought any gifts which means I have to hit the malls with these craze people ... #prayforme

here comes the bride

and I am excited to say that my work BFF Adriaen is getting married. I so love her and can't wait for the big day. After ten years she jumping the broom and I am excited to announce that I am planning the bridal shower...

I have so many ideas but something seem to want to stick but one thing for sure, she wants lavender and lavender she will get!

I LOVE WEDDINGS!

It's my Anniversary

and that Tony!Toni!Tone! song is stuck in my head and it's on repeat. I can not believe that we're made it a full year. For me to say that it wasn't hard would be a complete and utter lie that would cast me straight into the pits of hell so I won't say that but I will say it was a challenge, a challenge that was more than worth seeing us grow and develop together and separately.

So for a treat for our hard work we decided to take a vacay, out of state! With weeks on deciding which state to fly to and months of general preparation we decided on Houston. I've always wanted to go there, the weather is similar to Orlando and it's a CityPass city! So we saved whenever we could, requested days off, watched the weather and packed accordingly and a few days ago we were off! It was both of my men first flight and they were excited me too since it my last was six years ago...

The CityPass allowed us to visit the Space Center Houston, Downtown Aquarium, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston Zoo, the Children's Museum of Houston, and the Health Museum for only $78!

Wowzers! It's been a WHILE...

Man, time sure do fly, it's the ending of the year and I'm trying to start this thing off right. I haven't updated in awhile but that's due to the lack of commitment and the stress of life but mostly because I lacked direction when it came to how to run this blog. I wanted it to be so much and ideas were dropping in from every which way and that's not good to an impressionable soul like myself. So this time I pledge to make it different.
