Okay, so I haven't logged in some time now!
I have been busy busy busy! Not by my choice. Pretty much because I HAVE to be right now, with school and goals.
I'm not one to enjoy time away from hubby. Honestly, it kills me. But then again, I'm passionate for what I do as well.
School has been great! Besides the 88 I made off an extremely hard exam today. I KNEW I was going to ACE it! I should have double-checked it! There were obvious wrong answers. Blah. Anyways... Other than that, work is amazing as well. Trying to get an entire list of procedures and prices down is rather complicated.
Here are the things I offer:
*Microdermabrasion
*Dermabrasion
*Facials
*Machine Facials
*Bacials
*Chemical Peels
*Waxing
*Makeup
*Permanent Cosmetics
*Hollywood Teeth Whitening
*Airbrush Custom Tanning
*Laser Hair Removal (soon to come)
I am looking to Intern for a local Entertainment industry such as for Movies, or News... so if you "know" anyone, give me some info! :)
My ultimate dream is to perform makeup applications for Specialty Clients at the Grammys & Oscars within the next few years.
I've met James Ryder who has worked with Katie Holmes, Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, Alyssa Milano, Billy Dee Williams, Andie MacDowell, Judd Nelson, Taye Diggs, Lauren Holly, John Goodman, Thora Birch, Dennis Hopper, Steve Buscemi, Christopher Meloni, Scarlett Johansson, Timothy Olyphant, Robert Wagner, Jennie Garth, Harvey Korman, Vanessa Williams, Ricki Lake, Mercedes Ruehl, Eric Roberts, Janeane Garafolo, Gregory Hines, Joe Mantegna, Morgan Fairchild, Tilda Swinton, James Spader, Bridget Fonda, James Earl Jones, Faith Ford, Cathy Moriarty, Beverly D’Angelo, and more!
What an amazing artist!
Ooops, time flew by just now! I have an appointment to make at the gym!
Bye bye Blog, Hello LAFitness!

My Forcast
Friday, January 16, 2009
..I'm so tired.
My body is shutting down.
Hopefully I'll regain strength soon.
When it rains, it pours. And when it's cold, it hails.
I'm ready for this storm to end.
My tears alone, can create it's own ocean.
I pray these winds will soon die down.
The waves from my own ocean can destroy this town.
But as I lay and fall asleep tonight.
I'll dream of the beginning when that Northern star was so bright.
As a man that was found falsely-guilty, I fall in His place.
But as He waits there for me, I'll soon see His face.
I guess it isn't so bad after all.

Closing This Chapter!
I have not ran in 2, I repeat TWO whole weeks!!! Although I still have managed to get my workouts in at the gym, it's driving me crazy.
As some of you know, I injured my leg (Tibialis posterior-the middle muscle in the calf) on December 18th. So I layed off of it for a week.
On Dec. 29th, my first day back to run... I did it again! So every since then, I have not ran. Plus, the injury took a dive. Because I've been walking differently "dodging my Tibialis" I've been putting more strain on my foot, which has caused my Abductor Hallucis Trans Head and the outer Abductor digiti minimi in the foot to inflame and cause much pain. Great!
On the flip side, I've been swimming... alot!!! As for working out, it's equivelant to running, but less strain on the body.
When I started swimming I could only swim one lap. Sheesh, for loving the water, I never thought it was such a workout! But I swam 30 LAPS freestyle and felt like I could still do more!
That's a 775 meter swim!
So I'm excited to say, that now because I have been obedient by staying off my leg/ankle/foot for a whole 2 weeks, I can tell it's finally getting better! But I'm not going to test it out...

An Incredible Love
Friday, January 2, 2009
Why do I love you?
Your faithfulness
Your loyalty
Your big blye eyes
Your love
Your hugs
Your touch
Your kisses
Your honesty
Your silliness
Your jokes
Your strength
Holding my hand everywhere we go
Your kisses on my forehead
Falling asleep with your arms wrapped around me
Your contentment
Your commitment
Meeting you through Christian Single Adults
Having watched you get on one knee in the Water Gardens
Having fun smearing chocolate fondue on each others faces
Rough housing
Table Humor
Tickle-fights
You’re my best friend
My forever love
Falling asleep in your arms half-way through every movie
You’re so comforting to be around
I can’t get enough of you
I can’t live without you
It hurts when you’re away even for work
“Guess what?”
Bebe
Gimme kissywoo
The son of a King, my prince
Your constant prayers
I love how tall you are
You don’t hesitate to rub my back
You’re the smartest man I know
I love eating healthy with you
I love how you always bring me a glass of water and my primal before bed
I love how you have my vitamins sitting on the counter every single morning
I love how you wont let me fill up my gas tank
You open all doors for me, and the one time I opened my own, you didn’t like it
You walk in front of me when I’m walking downstairs, so if I fall, you’re there to catch me
You kiss me every time you open the car door for me
There is no end to your love
This is just a glance of things Jimmy does for me. There are only 2 men that I know of that are this amazing. My husband, and the man who raised him.
I hope you find a rare man like this.
