I had lunch with my friend Kristy at one of my favorite food joints, Flying Avocado. A wonderful place to eat yummy food, chit chat about life and relax. We did all of those things. I’m excited to start hanging out with her more. She’s definitely one of the sweetest and coolest chicks I know.
I came to work and had some nice chats with some of my regulars, my coworker who was on his way out and the security guard who loves me to death. They all kept a smile on my face.
Then Momcat and Popcat came in. They are Tom’s parents. I had a mother’s day gift for Momcat and since the break up, I had no idea if I was ever going to be able to see her to give it to her. It was such a good surprise to see Popcat by her side and get a few good hugs from him, he’s been like a father figure ever since I started seeing Tom and it’s just been comforting to have him around and realize how much he cares about me. He went inside to leave Momcat and I to talk. No matter what anyone thought or said about this, I needed it to happen. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. She is and will always be like a second mom to me and I’ll always see his whole family as my second family, no matter what. I love her so much and I know she feels the same. I’m happy that she still wants to see me and no matter what anyone else may this, this is very calming for me and it makes me happy to know that his family still cares about.
I got to see Geo as well, which is always fun if you know him. I’m sure many of you do know him since he is GEO and he knows EVERYONE haha.
I plan on going to the gym later, which will be the perfect way to end my good day.
I’m currently putting the finishing touches on my fashion blog. It’s only on tumblr at the moment, I may branch out to another blog site, but one step at a time! I’ll be putting up the link soon.
I do have a question for you wonderful people. I got a tripod for my camera but it only does so much for me. Does anyone (who I know/live in the Baltimore/Towson/Owings Mills area) enjoying taking photos and may want to collaborate with me on this site?
So I have some brainstorming to do for a new name before posting the site for everyone.
But in better news, one of my favorite fashion bloggers told me once I have the site up and running she’ll put it in her feed, which is so awesome and means the world to me.
You win some, you lose some, but now I’ll come up with a name that’s better than anything! Suggestions are welcome as well :)
I’m maturing and being able to accept when I’ve overreacted and have gotten myself worked up.
I know that only I can truly control how much positivity I exert and am surrounded by. It’s going to take some work and we all will have days, but it always gets better.
I just have to keep reminding myself that.
Also, Zumba is one exercise that will always make me smile and I’m not just talking about the 400 calories I burned in 45 minutes. It’s all in the dancing!
PS. Thank you Zach for always being honest with me, you helped me smile today, I appreciate that so much, love you dude :) <3
PPS. Tom, you may not always be able to tell when I’m upset but thank you so much for putting up with me when I’m having those days and in those moods, I love you so much.
I pulled up to my house around 10:30pm after an hour at the gym. I stepped out of my car and I just stared up at the sky. I gazed up at the stars, mesmerized by the number of constellations and the various loners lighting up the night sky.
Then I thought of you because whenever i look up I think as though you might be looking back. But I dont know where you really are, I can only hope you are watching over me. You were my rock. You always knew what to say to fix everything, even if it was just for a short amount of time. I realize it’s up to me now. Sometimes I just wish I still had your guidance. It was too soon, I wasn’t ready, no one was. I just miss you, I really do.
I love you dad. It doesn’t get any easier to deal with, just easier to hide.
Waiting on my thigh piece but in the mean time I have been wanting for a while now to get an amazing latte art outline in thick black ink on the back of one of my shoulders. I’m thinking either a rosetta or the heart/tulip combo. I’ve been searching for the perfect picture but I think if I was able to pour THE perfect one for me, that would make it even more special.
Coffee and the barista life has become so important to me. It’s a new found passion I would have never known I had if it wasn’t for Jay Caragay (my old boss and owner of Spro Coffee) and Bonnie Hohman (my current boss/owner of BB’s Cafe and former coworker/mentor at Spro Coffee). This tattoo would not only be a symbol of something I’m so passionate about but also a dedication to their love that they put into the industry and passed down to me.
She’s always telling me how I have an eye for fashion and I can put things together and they just work. I’ve been told that by many people actually. I am always humbled by it. It means a lot. I’ve always loved fashion and dressing in what I thought looked good and not what people were telling me looked good.
She has been telling me a lot lately that I should start a personal fashion blog and take pictures of my outfits every day and post them. I’ve always looked up to her when growing up because she’s always had such style and is a lover of products, clothes and designers. Obviously I take after her on this one.
The idea is cool and I’m always taking pictures with my macbook of my outfits…but I have a lovely Nikon D70s with SB800 speedlight that are dying to be used. I think I just feel like I’d need a partner in crime for this one. My tripod can only do much for me.
She thinks I should be a barista, fashion blogger and personal stylist. Haha, I love Reada, she gives me such confidence in everything I do.
I have been thinking hard about this and I think it’d be fun. Thoughts?
I forget the feeling since I live at home now and I’m usually just buying random frozen steamer meals and veggies for work.
I went to Giant after work last night and they had some great deals on produce!
I picked up carrots, celery, avocados, mangos, oranges, wigwams, apples, pomegranate, boston lettuce, baby spinach, green peppers, sweet potatoes, the cutest baby spaghetti squash, kalamata olives hummus, silk unsweetened almond milk, light n fit yogurt, deli cracked pepper turkey, a healthy choice steamer meal and these awesome organic multigrain snack chips with a bunch of seeds!
ALL OF THIS FOR ONLY $44!!!!!!!
Damn it feels good to be a HEALTHY gangster.
