Getting back to myself

I was from a small town in Mississippi so Memphis, TN might as well have been New York, NY. My grandmother would yell out the screen door "Get your fast tale in here. And tell that boy if he can't cut his hair he can't come in this house." They used to tell me my accent was sweet and I would think they sounded just like me but I guess that two hours south made all the difference. I would run in her house in my too short shorts and flip flops. My grandmother used to say that I moved too fast for the dust to even stay on my feet. I was going somewhere. I didn't know where yet but it didn't include that tiny town I came from. The women I saw from there had babies and husbands but no lives. I wanted babies but I wanted to live first and I didn't care if I ever had a husband. I vowed to not become boring just because I had kids. I would travel and do things with a baby at my skirt tail. I would show my kids how to ride camels and elephants and swim in lakes.

Things changed, and I grew up. But I have decided to get back to that girl. With the dreams and the plans. I've decided to get back to myself. I'll let you know how it goes.

Things you should know about me if we're gonna be BFF

Little Miss Mama (a new fav of mine) is hosting a linky party (YAY!). So here goes!!!


Things you should know about me if we're gonna be BFF


I have slight OCD. I check the stove several times before leaving even though I haven't turned it on that day.

I can (and do) love my BFF's kids as much as my own. I spent almost as much on them as my own for Christmas



Ferrero Rocher are my all time favorite candy but I don't buy them for myself because they are so expensive.

My second favorite pleasure is chocolate covered strawberries... YUM!

I often give baked goods as adult presents. I have been told my sugar cookies are awesome!

My pregnancy with Connor was kinda difficult. I find myself talking about it alot because it didn't go as I wanted it to, but I am working on not talking about it so much lol.





Most days I don't wear makeup

Alot of days I put on a necklace, feel silly and take it off. So I have tons of necklaces I never wear.

My best friend lost her dad this year and I felt like I lost my second dad as well. He was a great man and I hope he is watching over me and Connor.



I would chose Dr. Pepper to drink every time.

Men are my weakness. I'm a single mom now so I have alot of crushes. *wink*

I will love anything if it's pink.

I love to carry giant purses with all my secrets inside.



I have no idea how to fold fitted sheets, baby wraps or underwear.

When my husband I seperated an old flame that meant alot to me contacted me about getting back together. I started talking to him and then one day I logged into facebook to see him tagged in HIS wedding pictures. He had gotten married that weekend.




I can't watch ASPCA commericals without crying. And also I want to rescue every furry thing I see but I can't because I don't have room for them.

I love the smell of gas, paint and fingernail polish. When I was pregnant I craved the smells.

I hate milk, macaroni and cheese and cream style corn and will throw up if forced to eat it. Just ask my kindergarten teacher.
