Proof ...

This proof that I do not make up the drama that happens to me... ALSO proof I am not the person I use to be a couple of short months ago. I really wish I could savage every friendship I was in but as I get older I realize that it isn't all rainbows and sunshine. And randomly people stop picking up the phone when you call for no reason.

 

Now tell me this? If you haven't heard from a good friend of yours in a month aren't you going to pick up the phone call, txt, IG or send SOS to make sure they are okay?

Yeah? Me too!

I imagine female friend rejection/ neglect is just as bad as male sexual rejection ( ha.. not that I am aware of such rejection)

 

Adult Braces Month 19

Wohoo can you believe it ? I've had braces for 19 months. This morning at 2 am when I was up for no ungodly reason I counted . You can look back at my very first post about getting braces HERE.

Today I FINaLLY got my hiding tooth connected into the wire. I've had the dang bracket on that tooth since at least March . ( side eye)

Now I am still skeptical about how in the next 6/7 months my teeth are going to make this miraculous transformation to straightness. I mean if you look close enough you can see my 2 front teeth doing the tango at the bottom and they didn't dance until about 2 months ago and I am not feeling it.

I kept it real preppy today with my colors. This is the third time I've had burgundy (Maroon) 

I don't go back until Oct 7 so let's see what will happen in 6 weeks.

I feel like this has been a really sloooow process and I believe its my Ortho to blame.

My pre existing condition

Hello my name is Alisa 

And I am a Asthmatic  .

This is me at one of the local clinics getting my breathing treatment after a night of being expose to extreme cold and dust . Yes cleaning makes me not be able to breathe . Okay let me take it down a notch ... Dust is my enemy .

Luckily my mother in law works at this clinic and allowed me to skip about 20 people waiting in the lobby. 

I have clinic VIP status. 

And guess what ?! 

I got to skip the dreaded scale of doom.

I went straight to the room and got my vitals checked . Then a spunky PRN came in to listen to my pathetic lungs .

Which then she decided to inform me I needed to visit my primary so he can find me a better prescription so these random attacks don't happen .

After that a male nurse came in to give me 2 shots ( and I'm not talking about tequila ) 

And now I have to wait until I suck up all of this albuterol in the treatment before I can head to church. 

Thank God for PrNS LPn RN technology and medication. 

We are too old for this

When dinner leads to impromptu to swimming, ear piercing, and visiting 3 clubs in a night. YUP I am way too old for this . After hitting all of our favorite usually banging spots we ended up at a bar called Scruffs. My poor friend C was hit on by a college student who drug her from our table of creeping out on the dance floor to shake her behind on. HILARIOUS.

Get it girl!

 Proof that i actually left the house.

Sunday Social Week 28

Wake up Wake up!! Its 9 am time to catch up with me and the Sunday Social

 

1. Tell us about the family you grew up in, parents, siblings, grandparents.
 Well I am the youngest of 3 children. I have/ had an older brother Nicholas who lived in Washington DC . I do not remember him when I was a child. He probably left LA when I was 1/2. He passed away when I was in the 8th grade. He suffered from seizures all his life. He passed away at the age of 29. I have another older brother Richard. He is 10 years older than me. We have the same father. He moved to Seattle Washington when I was in 6th grade.
My grandfather the little that I remember for him was an amazing grandfather. He reminded me of what Santa Claus would look like if Santa was real. But he passed away with when I was in the 7th grade. Actually he was in prison from when I was about 4 until he passed away from cancer when I was 13.
^^^ semi depressing huh? So the rest of my family consists of  my mother and grandparents and we really don't have time to get into that.

2. Tell us about your husband, fiance, boyfriend, significant other.
My husband JMN or Fats is what you will affectionately hear me call him. He is great ( some days lol). We actually went to high school together and the first time I ever remember that he existed was my somo year of high school when I was taking my ACT. He sat behind me . A Nelson J Nelson . Then we had mutual friends and we started working together at Sonic the summer of my senior year.
He is the definition of a country boy and a mans man. He is very hardworking and plays just as much as he works.

5. Tell us about any other special people in your life.
I have a couple friends that are amazing. And I am very lucky to have them in my life.

When adults hangout ....

I don't have much of a social life. With that being said when i get to hangout with my friends and we actually leave the house I usually have to document it. Sadly enough i cant even take credit for arranging the epic night we had. AND everyone i hung out with lives in town but ONE.

E or as i affectionately call Creep now lives in Austin, TX and she doesn't love us enough to come here to  visit often.  Actually Austin is like 8 hours away and who in their right mind would come here just for friends. So E got all of us together to go out to dinner.

We had dinner at River and Rail. We got to sit outside and it was the perfect night. We basically ate queso and drank margaritas and reminisced on when we use to all work together and go out every weekend, drink and somehow pay our bills and survived.

 ( Thank Goodness for our clueless parents who supported us)

 

 Check out that view!

 I need this outfit!

Oh Louisiana

I have lived in Louisiana my entire life but there are several places in Louisiana I have not been to . It took me awhile to get to get to Baton Rouge and New Orleans which are the two most visited places in Louisiana. Our family vacations were always out of Louisiana.

Alexandria is about 3 hours away from where I live .I have been there maybe twice . The first time was for a baby shower ( shout out to Sara Lee and Baby Declan). And the second time was due to work. A couple days before I went to saw this picture on instagram . A photographer went for a wedding and posted about how beautiful and random this place was. So when driving to Alexandria my eyes were open looking for this place. Somehow on the way there I missed it. I actually almost missed it on the way home but luckily I was able to pull over on the side of the road and reverse all the way back . ( yes I am a dangerous driver)
 But this is what I found!!

Isn't this beautiful.

Just the way God made it..
