The Lake Charles Coven

Ok so now everybody knows I am a die hard twilight fan and that i have seen the movie now 6 times. I am going to go even further and let you all in on a little secret. I totally think I should be on set for the next twilight movie, New Moon. 1. because I think I am a vampire. 2. because I dress my little sister up like a vampire and take pictures of her, which I think are believable..So introducing Kandace......Kandace has only been a vampire for a short time but she is doing well in the 10th rainiest city in the u.s. (Lake Charles) Louisiana. She is a nursing student right now, but don't worry she is a vegetarian vampire, meaning she won't drink human blood! ok I need to be stopped! I am trying to find out if there are more vampires in this area.... stay tuned......

Twilight Mania

How long have I waited for the Twilight DVD to be released. It seems like forever! I had so much time to think about it, that I decided to have a DVD release party. Yes a twilight party. I seriously went a little overboard with decorations and costumes....but I have no shame and no regrets! I looked high and low for red, black, and white decorations to coordinate with the series book covers. Apples, red ribbon, chess board and chess pieces, and the red and white flower. Everywhere I go I have to talk about the books and the movie! I was in line at Hobby Lobby, getting candles and I told this girl about my party and she completely went off on how Twilight changed her life and that is all she thinks about. I was thinking to myself "crazy" when all along I was feeling the exact same way! I am actually worse.....I think I am a vampire...whatever.. Im having a blast. I encourage everyone to read the books and watch the movie!

Haley as Vampire Rosalie Hale. I bought the exact necklace she wore in the movie and I even bought colored contact

Here is Kandace as Alice Cullen. I talked her into getting the choker that Alice actually wears in the movie. and she also got some colored contacts. Kandace...Im mean Alice did a wonderful job cohosting the party....I mean she didn't bite anyone.This was the beautiful cake we had made. The Cullen Crest is on top along with the initials of the main characters Edward and Bella. On the side is the checkerboard and apples that represent the first and fourth book. The Flavor? It is italian cream, for the Volturi, the Italian vampires.

I had a blast decorating my house with posters, framed stills from the movie, red apples, and lots of candles!

Me and my human husband, Jeremy. It's so hard not to bite him! LOL

Learning

I went out for an hour or so to do some shopping. I came home and Charlotte, who was left under the care of her Dad and Brad, had learned something new.........

So now if you stick your tongue out at her, she'll do it back. It doesn't take much to entertain me. have moved my garage sale date from March 7th(which has already passed) to March 14th. I finally got a big load of stuff priced and got it out of the house and into the garage. Sooooo, yeah for real this time it's March 14th, March 14th, March 14th, March 14th. Unless.......No!....March 14th. I'll let you know when it really happens.

Little Helper

Its hard for me to try to keep the house clean and care for Charlotte. I was never a good housekeeper before I had a baby, but of course it's even harder now. I don't like living in a dirty house, but I keep so much stuff that I don't know what to do with it and then there is no place for it and I can't bear to throw it away. I need professional help for that, I've concluded. I was able to do all the laundry this passed week and clean our bedroom. Charlotte helped me......

Can you find Charlotte in the picture?

Charlotte likes to watch t.v. which it is hard to keep her away from. What can I say Like Daddy, Like Daughter! I am just kidding Daddy doesn't watch t.v. all the time. Charlotte would if she could though.

Charly and Daddy

Charlotte's favorite pastime is hanging out with Daddy and "Uncle" Brad playing xbox 360. The men take turns playing tiger woods golf and holding Charlotte. Charlotte loves them and could spend all day with them. When I come home, from the rare occasion that I am out, I notice they teach her new things.

There is Brad and Jeremy and yes that is my Christmas tree still up in February....What!?

Hey Ya'll

Soooooooooo, yeah this is awkward. It has taken me a little longer to get on top of things since Charlotte has joined our family. Charlotte is a little over 4 months old, and she is getting huge. I swear I am trying to enjoy every minute of her but, she is still growing to fast for me. She weighs 15 pounds and 7 ounces and she is 24 inches long. Her hair has lightened up a bit and, but she is losing it...hmmmm.......her eyes are still grayish, they have no color. Every now and then I see gold in them, but I think they are still changing. So far Charlotte smiles and laughs at us, she can roll over on her belly, but she doesn't like to be on her belly for too long. She loves loves her daddy. She loves the sound of his voice, she loves to sleep on him in any position,(curled up, sprawled out, side by side) and her eyes twinkle when she looks at him. I am so happy that they have bonded while I worked in December and the beginning of January. Speaking of that. I have resigned my position as Estee Lauder Business Manager and I am now a stay at home mom. More of staying at home....not so much cooking, cleaning, and blogging mom, but just staying at home....I'm working on fixing that too. She makes my heart melt when I look at her. I can't stand how much I love her. Being a mom is not what I though it was going to be. After all the advice, warnings, and predictions. It's way Better!

Pregnancy recap

Ok so I have been MIA for 9 months now. I am alive and well and i'm trying to conquer the blog! Moving backwards a little bit......the first 3 months of pregnancy I spent lying on my back in bed, unable to eat much, but hey I lost like 20 pounds! months 4,and 5 I went back to work but didn't work so much. Jeremy was in school and I didn't want him to drop his classes to take care of me, so I pushed myself to go back. I sat down alot and didn't do much selling, ran to the bathroom alot and took several breaks where I ran to a dressing room and took short naps in the large handicap dressing rooms with the long padded benches. I was still sick every morning, so I was grumpy and whiney. Months 6 and 7 I got a promotion at work. Estee Lauder Business Manager! A position I've wanted for a long time, but worried I wouldn't have the focus or energy to do a good job. I did ok. I am sure my beauty advisors would call me scatter brained, disorganized, and flaky, but I know they think I am a great motivator, and the morale is better. Still they know I am not quite myself. Month 8 I am miserable, but everyone tells me I look great pregnant, which is nice. I am tired of working, but thankful I can work. Month 9 we are trying to get the nursery finished, I am trying to make an appointment to get maternity pictures done, and need to get my roots done, and etc. I am tired of being pregnant by this point. The heartburn alone is killing me.
