Its at the library, so hopefully alot of kids are there!

Shes excited. I bought her a pretty skirt to wear. Its brown, with like red polka dots on it, and it has some tool underneath it so its not flat. its so cute.

Lastnight

Last night me and Mallory hung out. We went to El Camino, had a margarita, and then took our food back to her place and we watched The Hills. We had sooooo much fun!!

It was so nice to get out, and hangout with a friend :)

I think we are going to make it a tradition lol

Wii!

The price dropped this week for the Nintendo Wii!

I want one soooo bad, and hopefully will get to purchase one!!!

I am PUMPED! There are even games that Emma can play!! I saw a Disney Princess Game!
I think it would be something fun that both me and Emma can do!!

Xmas gifts.

Its been soooo hard thinking of things to get Emma. She has soooo many toys, and I realllly dont want to buy her a ton, but what kid doesn't want toys for xmas!

I love the disney stuff...(princess) Here are some things I am planning on getting her:

Princess Figurines

Princess Gissell Styling Station

Disney Magnets (there are over 70 magnets. There are backgrounds, princesses, dresses, etc.

This is a cute Tea Set! I thought it would be perfect for Emma becuase its tin, so she can't break it!


I was thinking about getting Emma a bike, but I dont think shes ready for it yet.
I think Ill get her a tricycle like this one... It says up to 5 yrs old.

These are a few things that I have looked at. I really need to get on the ball and start getting stuff for her so I am not slammed before xmas.

Townhouse!!

If I end up getting into the school I am applying for I might move so I am close to it.

I have been looking at properties, and I realllllly like this one!!
Its a 3 bdrm 3 ba townhouse WITH a basement and garage!!

I love the white doors. They look so sharp!

Bedroom 2

Upstairs Hallway

Master Bedroom, with Private bath

Bedroom 3


The basement is not finished, but I could put rugs down there, and put all of Emma's toys there! That way she can have her own little "toy zone" haha

Here is the back, its nothing special.

So far this is the nicest townhome I have seen. I hope to get a house, but this might even be better since I wont have to worry about upkeeping a lawn or anything.
This would be perfect for us!

xmas tree!

Me and Emma have this BEAUTIFUL Xmas tree. We only used it one year. I went a few times to pick out bulbs, but I never could figure out what color I wanted. The last time I went, I filled my whole card with silver, hot pink, and red bulbs of all shapes and sizes. my cart was FULL. then, before checking out Edel looked at me and said "are you sure you want Pink?"

and I just stood in the aisle. speechless. I looked at my cart, and thought, "I dont know " so I looked at him, and we left. I felt bad leaving the cart, but I panicked. I didn't know what I wanted, and it was like the 5th time we went to look. So my poor tree only had Emma's baby ornaments on it


anyways- I came up with a COOL idea! I want Bulbs that are pastels. They look really girly, but not too overpowering. bright light greens, pinks, blues, yellows, etc..


I think this would be sooooo pretty with like pearls, those boa feathers, or gathings of flowers, with my white lights!

Since we obviously don't need the tree this year, after Xmas I might snag some becuase all the bulbs are marked WAY down!

I want it to be girly, becuase its just me and Emma. I might as well make it girly becuase if I ever get married, a man wouldn't want a girly tree !

Classy

Lessons for Classless People:

How to be Classy 101

1. Choose your battles; choose your friends. Few battles are truly worth fighting. Stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves (mentally disabled, animals, children, etc). Be wary of those who appear to enjoy bickering. If someone is rude to you, either ignore them completely (recommended) or, once you have completely calmed down and are thinking clearly, explain how you perceived their actions and work towards a resolution. Never stoop to their level, and do not be hasty. Surround yourself with positive, polite people who encourage and live your classy, intelligent lifestyle.
2. Choose your words. The classy individual listens more than he or she speaks. Having a strong vocabulary is important, but do not use a word unless you are certain of its meaning. Use words to express yourself lucidly. Importantly, do not correct others when they use improper grammar. Differences in background, family life, and education cause people to speak differently, and often people use slang for effect. More than this, it is irritating and degrading to be corrected by a know-it-all. Do not insult, gossip, or slander. When necessary, voice your opinions appropriately and constructively. This encourages your audience to listen carefully when you speak.
3. Do not be a doormat. You must be courteous, but do not bend over backwards to please others. If you do, you may find yourself being taken advantage of in the future. Limit your time and availability and draw boundaries with others so that they are aware of your limits.
4. Break the stereotype shackles. More often than not, using labels in any way, whether to identify yourself or others, shows a lack of creativity, lethargic social skills, and a lack of careful observation. Give everyone respect and the benefit of the doubt.
5. Be assertive. Avoid passive-aggressive thinking; this is likely to trip you up eventually. Assertiveness demonstrates maturity, thoughtfulness, and confidence. Class requires balance, and assertiveness is a prime example of this concept.
6. Make sure your clothes fit well and that you are well groomed. Excellent presentation is half of the battle. Wear clothing and accessories which flatter your body and never wear anything you feel uncomfortable in. It is important to remember that modesty is key in earning the respect of others. A bit of cleavage may be fashionable, but true gentlemen will appreciate modesty more than exposure.
7. Avoid getting caught up in trends. There is nothing wrong with enjoying fashion or buying clothing you find attractive, but it is important to stay in control. Do not become a slave to fashion, or you may be regarded as foolish, "high maintenance", and/or shallow. The clothing you wear should enhance your personality, not create or alter it. This advice can be applied to many aspects of life in which you may feel pressured to "fit in."
8. Avoid desperate behavior like the plague. This is the kiss of death for the classy person. Only desperate times call for desperate measures. Take a deep breath, be strong, and move through the situation with elegance and grace. You will be the victor for it, no matter the outcome.
9. Seek wisdom. As difficult as it can be to heed the advice of those more experienced than yourself, it is a necessary step at times. No matter your age or ability, allow yourself to learn from the mistakes and victories of those older or more experienced than you. You will win their favor and be available to pass on your own wisdom or advice.
10. Be open to Personal Development. Do not berate yourself, but be receptive to constructive change. In our world, change is inevitable. Be a positive and flexible part of it and show others the way as well. Face life rather than burying your head in the sand and others will know instinctively that you are someone whose opinion counts.
11. Carefully consider tattoos and piercings. Let's face it: it is easy to judge by appearance. Therefore, take careful consideration when deciding if it is a good idea for you to get visible tattoos or body piercings. Even though a person’s outward appearance does not automatically show his or her inner qualities, appearances can reflect how a person is willing to be perceived by the world. Job opportunities may be limited by such an expression. Also keep in mind that although tattoos and piercings are expressions of individuality, they can be permanent or difficult (even costly) to remove. If you are in doubt about how a tattoo or piercing will impact you in the future, find another way to express yourself.
12. Be Knowledgeable and aware. It is wise to become politically, culturally, and religiously aware. Even the most basic knowledge can save a person from embarrassment and awkwardness. If you know in advance that you will be spending time with someone of an unfamiliar background, it is a good idea to do more in-depth research to avoid embarrassing faux pas.
