Grey Thursday/ Black Friday

     

My favorite time of year ! Great sales - weird people- holiday season !

Unfortunately retailers thought it was a great idea to turn ash Friday ( I think that's what it originally is ) to a Thanksgiving event . I really did not like the fact that workers were spending time away from their families on this day because people wanted to fight over TVs and Apple products . I hope they do not permanently change this shopping event .  Any who although I feel this way I was out shopping last night . I'm not the type to shove and push but I got some amazing deals on clothing, music, and movies.

 I hope you guys had a good time as well :)

This picture is soooo acurate ! I could go off on a tangent about how girls substitute sex for love . I'm the most guilty of this situation.

New York- Kids

    

I have no idea where the people who are reading my blog are from .. BUT i will tell you I am from a semi small town in Northeast La. There a lot of space everyone to buy a bunch of crap and put it on their land.
Even with the heavy existence of technology there are still a descent amount of kids that are outside playing. Mothers/ Fathers are within sight of their children. You know everybody here usually knows everybody's business so they kids aren't too out of line in public.

In New York, I had no idea when school was in session or not. I would see see kids on the subways, in Central Park, restaurants, and walking down the street in the middle of the day. THAT AINT NORMAL.
A couple times i came across some kids who obviously went to school and was going home. They were all waiting on the subway. It blew my mind because they had to be no older than 11/12. When i was 11 or 12 the most i did was go to the mall, which a parent dropped me off at 1030 and was i had to be home by 1.
I cant imagine them taking the subway to school everyday. What about kidnappers? What if they are being peer pressured to skip school. I felt like these kids were such grown ups. maybe this is why they are so in dependant by the age of 15/16. They have had a little taste of adult hood. And they go wild.

It made me just want to hug a kid and take them home. Because at that age they aren't realizing they have all their lives to be adults . But you only have so long to be a kid. Stay and hold hands with your mommy some more.

Lifetime of Fatness

    

Once upon a time there was an overweight girl that hit rock bottom several times. She has been apart of many diet programs, gyms, and nothing has worked for her. This is the story of AMN.

FAT
Why must you follow me everywhere i go??? I am so sick and tired of my clothes not fitting . And wearing a undershirt to smooth our my fat. I hate the way you make me tired and unsociable. I hate not being able to shop for jeans in stores because they no longer carry cute clothes in my size. Please GO AWAY!!!

FOOD
All i want to do is love you! I want to stuff my face with fries, cheeseburgers, chocolate shakes, and Reese's. But when i enjoy you the number on the scale goes up. Why cant we just be friends.

Scale
You are not a good friend. You always put me down when i need you the most.

My list could go on and on. I am a person living with Fat. This is a disease. In the last 3 years i have successfully gained 40lbs. To lose 20 and then gain it right back. I have no idea why this keeps happening to me. Apparently shelling out money does not make me want to do anything about it faster. I have tried Weight Watchers meetings and online. I have joined Anytime fitness, participated in several group classes. I have bought a treadmill and i have even used my neighborhood as a breathe of fresh air. Now i am currently in Crossfit. Anyone ever heard of that? Well its a gym box where you have a coach that makes up workouts WODs that will make you want to die in a puddle of your own sweat.

Home - Southwest Airlines

    

I would have never thought I would ever be glad to come home from a vacation . Actually this is my first time ever !

For 7 days Fat and I were in New York City. Some would call that a dream to be able to visit a place that everyone in the world knows and wants to visit. I just started thinking about it maybe about 6 months ago and decided hey why not !  

Luckily I have some friends who are world travelers so they gave me some tips on what to do there . My friend Kim told me about how cheap Southwest flights are. So I signed up for an email newsletter (omg the emails)  . When I tell you their flights are cheap I MEAN their flights are cheap ! ( raised eyebrow) just wait it out ! 

 

We flew out of New Orleans / Kenner MsY Louis Armstrong International airport ! ( why does this airport have some many names) 

Folks were like why fly out from there ?! Well although NO is 4 hours away from us they have more airlines to choose from ( trans air, southwest, united, continental etc) plus it would have been more expensive to fly out of my hometown  with the gas included to New Orleans so why not ?! 

My good friends Kayla and BDD informed me about a cheaper long term parking . Get this we were going to pay 100 to stay at the airport . ( something you gotta do) but because of them I parked at the good ole Hilton for $40 and they shuttled you kt and from the airport ! Hello bargain ! 

Easiest process in life ! Nice airport minus the lack of good food ! Come on New Orleans !!!!!!

The flight was comfortable there was direct TV via mobile deceives and laptops . Even for $8 wifi !! Internet in the skkkkkky

3 hours later bam! We were in Newark NJ

New York

So I'll be talking about my trip in several parts . I just wanted to warn you guys in advance .

Astor on the Park

Astor on the Park is were we stayed for 6 glorious nights . Now as you will see  in the pictures this hotel is cute, but one of the smallest rooms I have ever stayed in. Normal rates for this hotel is $258 a night . ( psh) We paid $89 🙌🙌🙌🙌.  

We had a king size bed, TV, mini table, chair good size amour, and a bathroom. And I must not forget a window unit air conditioner . Thank God for it !! Because the heat was on in the hotel and I can not sleep in a hot room ! 

The staff was very nice ! Anytime I need to ask a question they were more than happy to answer it or go figure it out for me. The only problem was their we're no Americans . So anytime I wanted to know about a local restaurant they have me Italian or Asian  . Though I love Asian and Italian food some days I just wanted a grill cheese or a burger . 

All the reviews I read about this hotel were positive but everyone mentioned to get a room away from the elevator and a window over looking Central Park . That view was amazing.  every morning I was awoken by the sun. 

Very safe location ! No bugs ! And hot water ! The elevator is a bit creepy and old and there is only 1 for all 11 floors. AND they have old school keys instead of a fancy magnetic card.

If I could get the same rate, I would definitely come back ! 

Honest and polite people, clean, and great location you can't beat that in NYC

"It Won't Stop"

I love when you pulling up in your jeep
Bumping all your beats
Js on
With your shades on
Just to bring me something to eat
You the man up in these streets
But when it comes to my heart
That don't mean a thing no oh

So I hop up in your ride
Ooh it's hot as hell outside
Got the top down
With the doors off
With your hand on my thigh
Drive slow ooh
Take your time

Every little thing you do got me feeling some type away (away)
When you gimme that thunder you make my summer rain
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) [2x]
Everyday, everyday

[2x]
And it won't stop
Oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Yeah

With every single part of me
My love for you is constantly
Forever and ever on repeat, on repeat
And it won't stop
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I love when we pulling up to the beach
Sand down to my feet
Sun down
Nobody around
That's one hell of a scene
You rocking my body, (rock, rock the boat Aaliyah)
Don't it sound familiar?

'Cause it feels like ah ah aye aye
Looking up in space
It's just me and my ba-ae
And we feel so amazing
Oh oh
All night
Ooh ooh ooh

Every little thing you do got me feeling some type away (away)
When you gimme that thunder you make my summer rain
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) [2x]
Everyday, everyday

[2x]
And it won't stop
Oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Yeah

With every single part of me
My love for you is constantly
Forever and ever on repeat
On repeat
And it won't stop
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Everyday, everyday
I can't breathe
You take my breath away from me
Here's my heart
You got the key
Put that on eternity
I love you 'til infinity
Infinity [4x]

My babe
My everything
And when I think about it
Don't be making me wait baby

It won't ever stop
My heart won't skip a beat baby
And it'll keep going on [5x]

[2x]
And it won't stop
Oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Yeah

With every single part of me
My love for you is constantly
Forever and ever on repeat
On repeat
And it won't stop
Oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

   

Gossip Girl Series Finale

    

If you guys know me personally, you know that i love to read. I spent majority of my teenage life escaping reality in my room where words came to life. Its shaped my life. From the words I speak the clothes i wear and the dreams i own.

One day at the library i came across a series of books called Gossip Girl by Cecily Von Zeigslar. I read one and soon or later i had blown through most of the series and waiting for more to be published. At some point i stopped because other things were more important things came to my mind.

In 2006 when i was TV surfing at a friends house a commercial came  on the CW. And although i wasn't really interested with the actors and actress at the end of the commercial Gossip Girl flashed on the screen. I jumped up and screamed scaring my friend who was in the kitchen. I had no idea books came to television. I went home and read every article there was about the new show and when it was coming out .

I watched the first season online every week. ( I didn't have cable)  I bought it the first day it came out on DVD at Target . I fell in love with the real life characters that finally had a face. My imagination and the visual that connected blew my mind. I told everyone who would listen to me about how great this show was. Even comparing it to the Sex and the City ( my favorite show of all time) .

I stopped watching GG online and waited for every season to come out on DVD where i would be couped up in my bedroom watching episode after episode. 6 seasons of this show aired and i couldn't be more satisfied with how it ended. Even though it has been a year since its official end date i cant express how exciting it was for me to watch a part of teenage years come to life. And i couldn't have finished at a better time with my friend Elise and my upcoming trip to NYC.

I think this is a Polaris 850

IG & FB

It is safe to say that I am addicted to IG. I realized 2 years ago that it was not safe for me to be on FB. So I go in and out of using it. My main reasons now for using it is Crossfit and looking at previews when I get pictures made.

I am a creeper . Let me expand that ! I enjoy learning . I enjoy absorbing any and all information that surrounds me . FB & IG is not healthy for a person like me because there is so much out there. I could spend hours researching people.

I noticed there was a problem after I fought my sleep one morning just so I could look at what happened the night b4. One eye closed squinting at a bright white light . ( no  bueno )   

Also I noticed that I  am starting to seek others approval. There are a certain amount of likes I want to obtain on each picture and if I don't it makes me feel like I'm   not good enough . Who needs to feel that way from 200 ppl ? Not I !

So I have decided to take a new look on IG and FB. I will only be viewing twice a day .  I think it will be healthier for me to let there be some distance Btw me and my followers .

Wish me luck

Picture of a Picture

I really love pictures . I think the reason I hold on to the past so much is because I vividly remember things because of my pictures .

I started family pictures last year . It's important that I remember my family just as they are.
