Tierra sees a movie: Act of Valor

I saw Act of Valor with Officer and my brother in law this afternoon. When I say I walked out the theater with a puffed out  chest, wiping tears... man. This movie is definitely a successful recruitment video. My 28 year old self would have signed on the dotted line right then and there. Wow, wow, and more wow.
Act of Valor was action packed with just the right mix of emotion to keep you invested.

Team USA! What sacrifices "our" boys give up to keep us ignorant of the threats to our freedom. I'm truly appreciative :)

Funny but oh so true, Sales 101

This explains to a T my past 7 years in cellular sales any sales job actually. Too funny AND too sad.

Clap for me...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

This cake is gross looking I know...

What y'all get me? *crickets* That's okay because Officer put his love on top... too much? Oh. Like I mentioned above, it's my bday *pats weave* and I'm 28! I'm living and feeling greaaaaaat! As of right now, everything is somewhat balanced in my life, my goals are planned out and I'm steadily striving towards them. I won't lie though, 28 is so close to 30 that I'm frightened. When I was younger 30 was deemed old by my peers and defined by the 30 somethings we saw. However, 30 is the new 20 (*snaps for Oprah*) and my body is agreeing with that statement. But in the overall grand scheme of things, 30 yrs is about a third of your life time *sigh* 

Where did time go? Can I get a do over? Starting at year 2, I'm greedy :)

Have a wonderful day, enjoy yourself in my honor, I demand it!

Sidenote: You think Rihanna would give me some of her "cake?" I mean it is my birthday... I kid, I kid but...

-Toodles

I want....

Ooops, I forgot to tell y'all, my birthday is Thursday (Feb 23). I accept cash But of course AND................

I owe every game of this series, get like me

I haven't played video games in such a long time. I use to play RPG all day long during my full-time stay at home mom days. I only stopped because there's no games worth my time. But when this new Resident Evil comes out in March, I see myself fighting my kids and Officer over the television.

But only if one of you guys "gift" it to me ;)

Update on wedding stuff

I would have to lose a thousand pounds to look like her *pouts*

I know y'all missed me but not if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook (I run my mouth a lot) ;) I've been helluva busy, spending money, working and going to school. In between all that confusion, I've been doing wedding stuff.

Wedding stuff:
Looking at wedding gowns in boutiques
Getting measured for gowns
Crying at measurements
Purchasing the flower girls dresses
Etc etc

I finally bought THE DRESS yesterday. I'm kinda nervous because I ordered it online without trying it on (!) This automatically sent me into lose 50 pounds now mode. I want to look delicious in my dress especially since it's form fitting.


Sidenote: I found out I have hips this week. Like bare 2 children at the same time hips. 49 inches, huh?!
I still have multiple things I need to complete. Invitations, response cards, find a photographer, yadda yadda ya.

Sponsor me?

Happy Valentines Day

Whatcha get? I mean everyone is supposed to be dropping in diamonds, whipped into a sweets frenzy because of all the chocolate and chocolate covered accessories *wink* AND sneezing with delight at the long stemmed ruby red roses hand delivered to your office.

Oh, that didn't happen?

You're not alone. Let me squeeze onto the "I didn't get anything I was suppose to get on Valentine's Day" bench. *whew*
Officer's bday was last week and mine is nine days away. I love 'em, I do but $$$ is not my middle name. Plus I love him every other day of the year, I don't need a dead saint to remind me to handle mine, 'mkay?

But I am currently enjoying some pink & red themed candies (purchased by my own hand) and going out to enjoy some comedy (Kevin Hart, ugh).

If you're single, married, dating or in between, don't get caught up in the hype of Valentine's Day. Hallmark had this date circled and circled twice as their Black Friday (after Mother's Day). Save ya money, cook dinner at home and give him/her some good loving.

That's what I'm doing? I dunno, let's see funny the comedians are tonight ;)


-Toodles

Been gone for a minute now I'm back with the jump off...

Hey chickees and chickos! I have so much to update y'all on but I have to collect and organize all my thoughts. Give me some time okay? I promise it'll be worth it :)

Whitney Houston

REST WELL

WHITNEY HOUSTON

VOICE OF THE AGES

(August 9, 1963- February 11, 2012)

***Even though I don't know Bobbi-Christina, Whitney Houston's daughter, I'm saying a word for her every night. Poor girl is obviously taking it hard.

Young Money wants Yo Money

YO! 

You scared of banks?

Don't have no credit cards?

But still want to swipe a card when you stunting on them hoes?

Get yourself a Young Money prepaid card!

End scene. What the freaky freak? So Lil Wayne decided to jump into the world of celebrities pimping prepaid cards. He is preceded by Russell Simmons (The Rush Card) The Kardashian's Kard (ugh), and Suze Orman (The Approved Card). I can't stand these cards because of the fees that go along with them. And believe me the Young Money Card has some fees.

One Time Purchase fee: 6.95
Reload fee: $4.95
Monthly Maintenance fee: $3.95
on and on....

I know some people don't trust banks, I was building up resentment myself this summer when I started getting monthly maintenance fees. But getting charged $5 to simply reload the card is craziness.

I can't knock Lil Wayne's hustle. When the revenue from all the fees come in, I can visualize Birdman with that bright ass red tattooed star on his head, grinning.

*screams, YOUNG MONEY!*

That's only from one month of fees, you dig?

If I received a greeting card like this....

.... I would die laughing.

While I was on my lunch break at work today, I decided to walk around. As I was passing the greeting card section, a couple caught my eye. I started reading some Valentine Day ones and then progress to other sections. And then I saw this card:

Wow. I literally said wow out loud. The card and message was unexpected. I wanted to take a picture so bad but my phone was dead. But wow. I must add that it's totally something I would say BUT to only like minded people, lmaoooo. 

Viva Target for having the balls to carry this card ;)

Tat, tat, tatted up!

*Ahem* I have 2 tattoos in red zones (on both my wrist in little tiny print) and also one on my calf (not listed, whew). But if I could add something to this diagram and I can, it's my blog I want to note my hatred of people's decisions of getting tattoos of their significant others and spouses (!) names. I don't get it, at all. Like, are you going to be with them forever? forever ever? That's sooooo risky. But to each their own...

Answering questions pt 1

1. I know I share a ton of myself on this blog but sometimes I hit a wall on what else I could share. I found these ice breaker questions and decided to answer them. Here's part 1. Enjoy.

1. If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?
2. Fried chicken fried hard w/ french fries
3. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
4. I would be an elephant. They're big and graceful creatures. Elephants travel in herds of all females which I think is cool and help raise each others young. I can dig it.
5. What is one goal you’d like to accomplish during your lifetime?
6. I would like to open a center for young parents where they can receive free childcare as long as they stay in school. It will also have a job center, job training, and parental classes.
7. When you were little, who was your favorite super hero and why?
8. Although not a "super hero" I love XMEN's Mystique. To be able to transform into anyone? Well damn. I could get in a lot of trouble with that power... ;)

10. I really don't have a hero. I love Billie Holiday and her story.

13. If they made a movie of your life, what would it be about and which actor would you want to play you?
14. Hmmm... That's a hard one. I think I would want a movie about my life, birth to teen. I can't think of any actresses to play me. I got a big ego *ahem*
15. If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be and why?
16. I would be vanilla. Nice and creamy.
