The Emancipation of KlasikMiMi

Balancing Act ...

2011-07-29T19:50:00.000-07:00

Although I’m all about makeup I also enjoy all things fashion. Celebrity Fashion Stylist June Ambrose has a style all her own and I am always amazed at how she turns her clothing into a work of art. Always stylish, June still finds time to be a mother to her two beautiful children. I’ve recently tried to find that perfect balance between mommy and makeup artist. (communication is key)

I especially love the relationship between June and Summer. I would love to one day have a daughter and go shopping with her and take her to shoots. How cute would it be to have a little fashionista and I already have my little Prince Charming. Well heres to June, Summer, and Chance…

I Beat That Face With A Brush

2011-02-24T17:21:00.000-08:00

So as I stated before, I have been gone for quite a while. I have been handling some business and personal matters but I feel that I am now getting back into the swing of things and am more equipped to handle anything thrown my way. I got so great advice from my sister (owner and founder of Cups Full of Cake) and some other close friends.

On to what you want to hear about... the photoshoots...

This year has already been major for me. I've been able to work on faces of other people and through referrals gain more clientele. Here are the photos of all the work that I have done so far.

There are some more, but you get the idea. I am in the process of organizing a photo shoot for myself and then for some models so that I can build my portfolio, not of cell phone pix but of professional pictures. Of course I will keep you all posted and if you dont see me posting on my blog, feel free to remind me, lol. There is also my youtube channel KLASIKMIMI.

Well okay loves... enjoy your night/day...

Love Always

Where Is Waldo?

2011-02-23T07:54:00.000-08:00

Hello Loves:

    How long has it been since my last blog post? WOW! I'm so sorry about the wait. I was having quite a hard time dealing with a few changes in my life and now that I have a new found strength I am able to deal with that issue and so much more.

    In life there will be people that support you and then there will be people who make sure to support anything negative in your life. People that dont see the bigger picture, people that are so set in there ways that they feel the need to push there own beliefs and customs on you. DO NOT let those people take control of your life. While I still understand the importance of "following the rules". I also understand the importance of individuality and we all have different wants and needs. I see no wrong in pursuing my dream, as long as I dont lose sight of reality.

    In life there will also be people that mean well and although they do not agree with your decision they will support you 100%. Treasure these people but be ready to take some things they tell you or advise you with a grain of salt. While meaning well, the words they choose may very well discourage you. (2/15/11)

    (2/23/11) I'm finishing this post, as I have found a new found inspiration. Dreams do come true. While I am not sure how this will all work out, I am willing to take that leap of faith. I cant go into this blinded but I also cant NOT go into this because someone blindfolds me, if that makes sense.

OVER AND OUT!!

1am...have u seen my sanity

2011-01-16T22:24:00.001-08:00

Its 1:14am and im laying in my bed with tears rolling down my face. In life we all make decisions and honestly don't know how some of them will work out but we hope for the best. I hate that I feel this way but did I make the right choice? I guess its times like this that force you to figure out why you made whatever decision in the first place.

My ipod just switched to John Legend- This Time... water works for real right now.

I hate feeling unsure...I hate the pain that comes with...I always feel like I get the bad end of the deal...no matter how grand it may seem... ha... right... its give and take and sometimes I need to take a step back and see where the give and take comes from....

Unfortunately I can't see my screen anymore...I'll update later.

    Some things and people just can't be explained. You know the type that come around at the right time in your life and fill it with more meaning. I can say that so far I've been quite blessed. I have the best friends anyone could ever ask for and I wouldn't trade them for the world. My love, my heart my everything makes all my heartache take a trunk seat, lol. He has been my rock for years and I'm so glad that I came to my senses. No more running away from what I know, I'm facing my fears dead on.

LOVE... is a fear for me.

    I have had bad experiences with this word and emotion. I would like to think that I am the most faithful person you will ever meet when it comes to friends and such. I will cut you off in a heart beat if you {mess} with me and mines...but that's for another entry. I always end up with the short end of the stick and that's where this fear comes in. When I love, I love hard... and when there isn't any positive feedback from the other, I feel stupid and theres that fear again.

    2011 is going to be about facing all those fears. Loving everyone... YES EVERYONE!!! Those that hurt me, those that hate me, those that think I don't know they hate me (yea i see y'all) ... Its on... I Love You...

    They say that hurt people hurt people and I'm not willing to sacrifice my family (bc my friends are also family) because someone else is unhappy. That's what it all balls down to, hurt people. Let it go, not just in 2011 but in your life. Let it go!! Go hug someone, tell someone that you love them. I know black don't crack but if you want wrinkles early on... stress!

    I have a MUA career to look forward to and there is no way I'm getting early wrinkles bc of someones unhappy state. I will not allow you to take my joy and have power over my life.

    So here I am... a different person, growing everyday in a different way. I love you all and you should all love yourselves. Love ends and begins inside of you. Look in the mirror and forgive yourself. Cry if you have to. Then let go of all the fear in your life and LOVE like you never thought you could.

*doing the pretty girl rock* LOL

Hair today...gone tomorrow

2010-12-26T12:42:00.000-08:00

I thought I would show you my new hair. Since its winter, I find it much harder to have my natural hair out without breakage or going out the house with a wet head. That had to stop, I have been sick twice and winter is just beginning for us. So Friday my friend did my hair. She is a professional hairstylist and makeup artist so you KNOW we had lots to talk about. She gave me some makeup advice and tips for the future. I am so thankful for that conversation. These last couple of months I have been getting some great tips and hopefully 2011 will be my year.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekends, now im off to finish editing vids and watch football...

Xmas

2010-12-25T16:32:00.001-08:00

So today is Christmas... or to me just another day I get to chill out with the fam. There wasn't much to my day besides some cleaning that should be taking place as we speak but I'm having way too much fun with this Blog. I went and got me hair done last night. My friend did it and man did she do a killer job... im really happy with it.

So in our conversation she told me to get rid of my fear to work with other people and do makeup on there faces. How true she is bc thats one of my biggest stumbling blocks. So we have to set a date to go out and do each others makeup. Im thrilled but nervous as well. I'll be fine im sure. She has grown quite a lot and im very proud of her. Im very happy for her and I hope that she continues to do well. Of course I'll do my best to support her and encourage her.

Well I guess I should get back to cleaning so toodle lew ...

I really should be doing better about my posting. Enough of that though because it just seems as though thats the way that I start all of my posts. Im home from my meeting and I missed my sis @curlynixs ... sigh...

Last night my son decided to start coughing in my face and later on proceed to come in my room and get up underneath me. OH NO!!! Now I have a sore throat and I just took some medicine. So as I write to you, please remember that I am so drugged up. I dont think the tea that I just had made any of this any better. LOL

I still have yet to post about our crazy night in NY. I have to post that and maybe it will help you all to have a good laugh, or cry. I also have some CD reviews to complete. As soon as they are complete they will be uploaded.

All in all tonight has been awesome and just a reminder of the people and things that are of importance in life. Bumping into people that you hardly know and those that probably knew me as an infant. Good times. Its about 7:30 now so hopefully everything will turn out fine....

Friendship

2010-10-26T08:23:00.000-07:00

Have you ever felt as though the people that you truly love and would do anything for don't do for you the way that they should? Just think on that...

This weekend was an awesome weekend. I had a long day out in service on Saturday with my friends. We went to a small cafe like place in the area and ate lunch and then went on returns, some productive and others weren't. Sunday was even better!! But I'll get to that in a sec. I loved being able to spend the day in service and then come home and rest. It's a good sort of tired and sometimes I don't want to get up in the ..... ok MOST of the time I don't want to get up. Knowing that I am doing whats right makes it worth while though.

Sunday- WOW!! We had so much fun. Sometimes I am truly taken back by the brotherhood and the way that we know each other without knowing each other. Despite different attitudes, backgrounds, and skin color we all are in this together and its like we've known each other since birth. You've got to love it. We sat around a fire and made smores which was awesome. My friend assisted in making this crazy smore bar that was so yummy. White chocolate, milk chocolate, peanut butter, marshmallows (of course), graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers ...OMG... it was so good. Then we had a lesson on how to make successful smores and for the most part we all got it right. Even my son was spotted roasting a marshmallow. Hmm what else... We got to play volley ball and I actually put some effort into hitting the ball. YAY Me!!! There were caramel apples and rice krispy treats on deck, lol. I was really happy on Sunday.

Now, the title of this blog entry is "Friendship"...Sunday I was able to bond with another one of my close friends (sister). I mean this whole year I think that I have been doing a lot better with coming out of my shell but Sunday was a real milestone for me. We talked about relationships, the good the bad and the oh so ugly. LOL. We spoke about some friends that we have lost spiritually and the road that they are headed. I wish that there was some light bulb moment that I could force upon some of these people to help them realize that there is nothing out there for them but heartache and death (ultimately). As the saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink". Well I think that at this point in my life that is where I am. I wish that there was a way to make her see that this is where she needs to be and that she would be so much more happy. I feel that I have a fight within myself ...more of a loyalty thing. (ok now this will all tie together) As I was driving home Sunday, I thought to myself, partially out loud, that I may have lost one...but think of how many I have gained...people that truly love me and are there for me through it all. My bestie is far from me but very close to my heart and I know that I can count on her. I have so many sisters in my hall that are my true sisters. Little sisters, big sisters....and I love them all so very much. (getting misty) ......(sigh).....

So the moral of this story (blog entry) is to know who your real friends are...make sure you love them, because we never know what the day will bring... I can safely say that if family is a blessing... I have to be the most blessed chick in the world...

SURPRISE!!!

2010-10-09T20:53:00.000-07:00

Today my sis surprised me and came to my house...how crazy is that. I thought I was going downstairs to help out my sister in law and I see my sister in the hallway. I screamed and hugged her. I was shocked and so happy at the same time. That was a great surprise. Unfortunately she's up here for a funeral. Since this is a 3 day weekend for me though, Im sure we will get into something. Now how is that for surprising....

I also gave our big sis a makeover today. I think it came out real well. I should have taken a photo of it. Just one step closer to having the confidence I need to go further with this makeup gig. Plus she loves makeup too, so I was able to share some advice and talk about makeup for a day. That was nice...

Im yawning every 3 seconds, so goodnite loves...until next time...

Ne-Yo Soul Nights

    So I thought that I'd post right before I went to bed tonight. No really big updates, sorry. I am excited for this weekend though. Saturday is my 6 month anniversary and I cant wait to spend the day getting all pretty for a night out with my babe. Sunday is his talk, the first with his new outline, and I really cant wait to hear it and I know he'll do good. Plus you KNOW we goin out after that too. I plan on getting real fat this weekend. Ooo and speaking of food, I cooked tonight. Fried chicken wings, mixed veggies, and mac n cheese. YUMMM!!! I even called my sis in law to join in on the good eats.

    Today was such a crazy day, the rain made it horrible. I tried to make the best of it with a doc visit and lunch with the Mr. We had fun, but tomorrow is back to work. -_- .... So when I got home I watched that movie "Dear John".....i was so pissed...i didnt like what happened before the ending...not as fairytale-ish as I wanted, but I guess it turned out to be a good movie anyway.

    So I lay here with my laptop on my lap...*funny* and my ipod playing through my stereo sharing my day with you all. *yawns* Well now I think I should sign off before I fall asleep with this thing...and it gets hot...lol.... so before I burn my legs... GOODNIGHT!!!

Makeup and Freelance

2010-09-20T13:08:00.000-07:00

    Lately I have been thinking about doing something on the side. I had to think long and hard about what I wanted to do and whether or not I would be satisfied doing it. I came up with the obvious, if you know me, MAKEUP!!! YAYYYY!!! I'm going to take this slow and try my best to stay committed to my decision. I have to say that I am somewhat inspired by my sister (STINKKKKKK)... who has gone into a business of her own. *proud moment* As soon as her site is up and running I will let you know the address (Clue: cupcakes).

    So I've been doing some research and I am not giving up my current job for this however I am going to freelance. That would be easier for my schedule and hopefully more bookings on the weekend. So I need to make a website, portfolio, business cards and complete my kit. Afterwards I will be able to network and dive straight into it.

    Lets see where this goes....

Random Look Into the Meaning of My Blog

2010-09-20T12:23:00.000-07:00

    So I was taking a look at my blog and trying to decide what I was going to do with it next, as far as the design, pictures and so on. Last night I tried to fool around with some designs and so far I put up a picture and a "Muzik" playlist. There is a lot more where that came from, just be patient with me.

    At first glance, I'm sure you can recognize where the title of my blog came from. If not then you missed out on a great album. I thought that maybe an explanation of the title was needed so here I go. When I was younger I used to write a lot, poetry that is. I have notebooks full of stuff that I wrote. Ever since my dad died, in 2001, I haven't written as much and I think that's a little backwards but I really haven't. I penned some stuff around the time of my pregnancy and then stopped again. So this blog if anything is freedom to me. I can write how I feel and share it with you all. Maybe when I get things sorted out at home, I'll post some of my writings and let you all in on them.

    So that's the reason for the title...Anyways, be on the look out for more changes to the blog and many more posts.

LOVE...MiMi ♥ ♥

She Works Hard For The Money

2010-09-08T08:04:00.000-07:00

Ha!! I finally posted something without my sister having to remind me. Yayyy for me!

Today is Wednesday and I have yet to get into the swing of things. I am so tired and it seems like I am still on AL time. I would love to sleep in all day but now I will be starting a new schedule at work. So that is next to impossible unless I take a day to myself and I would rather pay some bills and get that out the way. Isn't that the way it goes though. After the good news from my supervisor I immediately thought of ways to save and save and then thoughts of paying off certain things began to flood my mind. In short I realized that Biggie was right....(lol) More Money More Problems... whether it be baby mama drama or bill collectors, More Money More Problems. That right there should be a clear sign to anyone that money can't buy you happiness. Maybe a Porsch but not happiness. ;-)

Yesterday my son started his first day of Pre-K 4 and he is going full time now. I'm such the proud parent. Although I was unable to make it to his first day at school, I feel good knowing that my mother took him and he enjoyed his day. His school has a website that I can check to see what his class is doing this week. On another note, he has off tomorrow. He just started and he has off. Man... why dont they do this at work. I want naptime and coloring time and lunch with a healthy snack. That would be so awesome to have off for all these holidays that no one really cares about. Dream on MiMi...

Ahhh, let me get back to work guys...I think I'll post another by lunch time...

BESOS!!!

Sweet Home Alabama

2010-09-05T16:25:00.001-07:00

   I'm sittin in the kitchen at my grandmothers house and my phone goes off. (transformer sound) ...its my bighead sister and of course she told me to update my blog. She's my reminder, lol. Thanks Stink....

   I've been gone for a week and I'm dying to see my husband. We've been on the phone like two high school fools in love but now that its official its not enough...ya digg..hope u do.
Where: I took a week off to go find my sanity in Alabama. My dads family is out there (here) and so I figured since they never saw my son and haven't seen me in 5 yrs this would be the perfect time to take a flight...and so I did. I stayed Mon to Mon and leave tomorrow.

   What: Not much I pretty much ate my life away while I was down here and discovered a new love for catfish....omg....they told me the day after what I was eating and I was so shocked bc up north our catfish sucks....my point is fresh fish tastes totally different when its shipped than when its right out the water down the block...but that's a no brainer right.

   Drama: There was a war between the eldest of the tribe called 3 and myself this weekend. One of the similar looking ones joined in union with a person that has been removed from the cong and my bbm status started a war. I simply stated "Marry only in the lord"...next thing I know, I'm being told that I'm pathetic without my husband and I wouldn't be anything without him and "Superman def rescued a hoodrat with a bastard child" lol....funny stuff...and that my only defense from the insulting truth is the person that rescued me....hmmm...after calling these wonderfully ignorant people all types of names in my mind and over the phone my superhero tried to talk me calm...but at this point, you've involved my innocent 4 year old son and as a mom...there's no saving you. Unfortunately I'm related to these people so I guess I have to be civil...but superman is sure to help Lois lane....I mean, why not....(hahahaha) «gtn the last laugh.

   I'm too tired to type anymore..Updates soon to come...

Toodles my loves!

GoodMorning and Ziti

2010-08-12T06:12:00.000-07:00

Good Morning everyone. My sister told me that it was time for a new post and that must have been about last week sometime. Of course I was thinking about posting all along but it just never seemed to happen. Anyway, here I am...

This morning I am stressing like crazy. I have a farewell party to go to at 12:30 and I have been asked to make baked ziti. Now thats not bad in and of it self but I have never ever ever made baked ziti, nor do I remember liking it that much. So I have the task of making something for the first time and something that I dont really like. In my opinion you could make lasagna. But thats just me. I called my mother frantic about the ins and outs of ziti. Who knew something so simple could stress me out this bad. I've gone over it one million times in my head and still Im stuck. I think Im nervous because I usually dont cook for other people outside of family and close friends. Im cooking for people at my job. This could go one of two ways and trust me I dont want it to go the wrong way. I'll never hear the end of it. Anyway I think that its time for me to face my baking fears and get a move on them noodles. LOL.

PS...

What will i wear???

A Klasik MiMi Mess

Music-Makeup-Hair (July Favs)

2010-07-05T15:33:00.000-07:00

I decided that you need an update on all things MIMI...lol. Pretty much things and people that I am feeling at the moment. Maybe I'll make a video to support this post. We'll see but for now lets get right into it.

Music: (I'd like to think that when it comes to music I am pretty much all over the place. I will listen to anything that sounds good to my ears, not Hot 97's. That means that I can listen to anything from Tokio Hotel to Rascal Flatts and back again to the Temptations and around the way to LL Cool J. Got it? Hope so... So anything that I post as far as my musical interests are MY own opinions and what I honestly listen to. ) Getting started. For about 3 weeks now I have really been on this cat named Miguel (Miguel Jontel). I'm not just talking about his single "All I Want Is You" although that song is hott too. He can SANG and he's sooo easy on the eyes. If my mind serves me right, he is 24 yrs old. I'll let you check him out and tell me what you think...

Makeup: As someone who LOVES makeup, I wouldn't dare bore you with all of the products I am currently using. I will however wreck my brain to only share ONE product with you that I think is worth the bang. So here it is....Dior Addict Lip Glow...

This lip balm is awesome. I would recommend that everyone go out and buy this. Especially for those of us who are on the go and don't have the time to argue with ourselves over what color lip we would like to wear out the house...foundation, concealer, powder, Dior Lip Glow, and OUT!!! That's my everyday get out the house routine and it doesn't even look as simple as it is. This lip balm is worth the $30 (give or take a couple bucks). It has SPF 10 in it so its perfect for protecting your puckers from the sun. Dior Addict Lip Glow responds to the color chemistry of your lips to create a shade that is uniquely yours. Smooth it on to moisturize, add sun protection, and enhance your natural lip color.

Hair: For those who have no idea, I am a natural chick. I love it and I refuse to ever be overcome by the creamy crack. I'd rather get a quick weave and go back to my beautiful curls in 2 weeks. LoL. I have been trying different products on my hair since about November of 2009 which is about when I got my BC (big chop)...uhhh was that clear enough for you? Big Chop = woman who has become pissed off by all the split ends and over processing of her chemically damaged hair goes to salon or stands in mirror with scissors and CHOPS her hair off...Ok, maybe I'm being too dramatic. Its really just when we take off all the relaxed hair and are left with natural, usually very short, hair. So anyways, I have been on a product journey since the end of last year and I have had some fails and some very good outcomes with certain products, but I have to choose one... Miss Jessie's Quick Curls... this has to be the only product that I can honestly say, if used right, will not leave my little curly fro frizzy for days and will help to define my curls. I would recommend this for my natural sistas who would like to keep the curls and delete the frizz and keep your hair soft not crunchy. It also has a great smell, someone is always commenting on the smell when they get a whiff of my hair.

So that's it...if you want to hear good music check out Miguel. If you want moisturized lips with your very own tint, try Dior Lip Glow. Lastly, if you want defined curls without all the frizz and crisp crunchy stuff, Miss Jessie's Quick Curls is for you.

Love yall!!! ~MiMi~

Viva La Natural

2010-06-23T19:03:00.000-07:00

I've been natural since about November of 2009 and I absolutely love it. Only recently have I begun to feel the effects of going natural and the way people feel about it. We are shown today, in all sorts of media that beautiful is long straight or wavy hair.

Since my hair has grown out, I have been able to try new things with it and although its fun, I am currently feeling like I cant get around the whole "black panther" look. I feel like a 70s bad child with perfectly a perfect fro all the time. My new style is a "puffy tail" which still reminds me of the picks with the fist on the end...soooo yea. Im battling myself right about now.

I guess I need to work on being more secure in my skin. I constantly hear people tell me that my hair is "good" so I should probably be thankful and shut up. But I am still faced with MY hair and own insecurities when I look in the mirror. Although I wouldnt even dare put creamy crack back in my hair, I find myself missing my pixie cut with the sharp V in the back........

Time to buy a straightening comb....

How Much Is That Puppy in the Window?

2010-05-23T20:10:00.000-07:00

Today I went down South Jersey just to hang and shop and visit...Ended up falling in love with a puppy. Now you know how the husband feels about me having a dog. He is in NO WAY allowing that to happen. He seems to have a morbid fear of dogs, which i can respect. However, Im talking about a puppy that is no more than 10 pounds full grown soak and wet.

The lady let me hold the puppy. He was soooo cute. He was a mix between a maltese and a yorshire...a morky...lol. He fit in my hand and i cradled him onto my chest. He lay there with his paws on my chest as though he was holding on to me and i could feel him lil body shaking and then he calmed down and I knew for sure that I was meant to have him.

After the hubby denied me my new love who i have named in my little heart "Snuggles", i almost bust out into tears on the way to the car. I had to hold it in at the risk of embarassment and him questioning my tears, although it wouldnt have taken a rocket scientist to realize why i was upset. So I lay here in my big ol king size bed with my husband watching half ton mom while our son lay in his own bed in his spider man themed room and i wish that i had a small puppy to top this lovely family off.

Dream on.....

Baby Fever

2010-05-14T18:06:00.000-07:00

     What a day today was... This morning I woke up and had a brief little talk with hubby. Lately I have been feeling like I want another baby. My son will be 4 this year and I miss the baby stages, well sort of. I cant tell you how many people I know that are pregnant now or that have just had a child. Maybe thats the reason for my strong feelings. Im not sure but I have even gone so far as crying over this. I have prayed about it. I never had such strong feelings before, its odd. When I had my son it was a shock so it wasnt like I had the urge and then got pregnant...NO! Anyway, after talking to the hubby he decided that its not really cost effective and I agree with him, but its not helping with the way that i have been feeling.

     I had to pick up my nephew today from daycare and being with a 1.5 yr old and a 3.5 yr old really gave me a reality check. I made some runs to the bank, staples, toys r us, and a friends house and i felt like i ran cross country. It was more like being tired from having to strap the both of them in and make sure one was sitting in the push cart while also making sure the other wasnt ripping things off the shelf...and then making sure they werent having a screaming match in the car. Then to fight with them for about an hour about taking a nap that they both needed, but bc they were so wrapped up in each others company it took them forever to finally pass out. UGHHHH!!!

     Although i was drop dead tired, drained, and had a horrible headache, after it was all said and done, the feeling came back. I watched a movie and at the end the couple had a child....i started to cry. I just cant help it. I wish that I could but i cant. I honest to God want to have a baby. Maybe its because Im so wrapped up in family life right now and that would just make my day, but I really do want a baby. Someone that I can say is OURS and made from love. I just miss the feeling and all. Maybe after taking a few deep breathes and considering the reality of it all I will change my mind...*breathe*

    Nope, its still there.... :-(

A New Day

2010-05-12T17:07:00.000-07:00

Today the hubster had off of work and we spent our bi-weekly date at the IMAX theatres seeing Iron Man 2 again. Much better in IMAX. That was fun, we went to mall afterwards and shopped a lil, then ended it with Auntie Anne pretzels (me: plain NO salt him: cinnamon sugar).

This morning while in the process of doing something on the laptop for my mother I got pissed at that piece of crap and decided that I would buy a netbook this evening. So this evening after picking up my son, we went to Costco where i successfully purchased a NEW laptop instead of a netbook. OMG talk about happy!! I haven been dying for a new one since high school, mind you i graduated in 2005.

So I come to you this evening with my new laptop, saying HELLO OUT THERE!!! And sharing my day as well. Maybe I will log on later...if not, goodnite!!!

Today is May 9th, just another Sunday in which i spend my day calculating the week ahead. However I did manage to go to Ihop today and eat a rather large breakfast. I had plans of coming home and cleaning the mess that was made somewhere in between my big clean on Thursday and today. I was all set to do laundry and then come home to a made up bed and a movie night with the fam....how quickly things change. After that breakfast I came home and had the best nap ever. Felt like a good nights sleep, you know the one where you don't have to work in the morning and you KNOW you can wake up whenever you want to and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Like that!! Now I am up and sharing my day, weekend with you.

This weekend, like so many people, i shared in the joy of going to see Iron Man 2. I liked the movie. My personal opinion is that although good, it wasn't better than the first one. The first one was just BOMB. Moving on...

Hopefully I can become more consistent with posting on this blog, even posting on my cell phone. Pictures and video to follow soon enough. For now, I'm signing out again...going to attempt to clean...

So this is the beginning. For some time I've been wanting to write a blog. More like letting out all the crap I think of during the day. And that's a lot of crap. Some of it might be legitimate and the rest is, well....crap.

Anyway I guess this is the part where i introduce myself. I'll introduce myself as MiMi. Glad to meet you.

I plan on writing about a lot of random stuff basically making this a public diary that isnt too personal.

As much as I'd love to continue on about this blog and the things that it will be featuring I am so tired and I would rather make out with my pillow right now.

Signing out....MiMi
