Don't you just get annoyed when you log onto blog about something? Then as soon as it you are logged in, it seems as though you cannot find the words to say what you want to say. I know what I want to say, but sometimes just getting it out is just really annoying. I am not at a loss for words by any means, more so at a loss of how to put my words in order to make what I have all jumbled up in my head make sense to everyone else. I think differently than other; at least I think I do. I am sure if someone could share my thought process with me for one day they would definitely not understand what I was thinking of, but I get it and understand it in my own way.
I guess this is what I get for not writing regularly here on blogger or even in my note pad on my laptop. Anyways whatever! It is halloween day and I need to get some last minute things done. While on the topic before I log off I might as well share what I am doing costume wise for my little one. I have this really adorable handmade tinkerbell style outfit. So, therefore she is going to be tinkerbell, but I am also doing a little bit of makeup. Before you crazy moms out there that are against makeup on a baby let me say something first. No I am not plastering her face in cover up and all the stupid stuff you see other Mother's do. I am doing the look off of the movie Ever After (it is a cinderella story, for those of you who don't know the movie well), and if you look at the picture on google image if you google ever after makeup, it is a sheer shimmer with rhine stones. It is more of a masquerade look. So I am taking that look and making it fit the tinkerbell/fairy look. With my own added touch to it to make it look more natural though. I will be sure to take some photos and share with you what I have done for her halloween makeup look.
Well that is all for now folks. Eww I sound like the pig off of merry melodies saying the 'that's all for now folks saying.' LOL.

My Passion
Besides writing poetry and novels, I realized I have been pushing away what has always been my passion. And what made me realize this was the tv show 'Project Runway'. To see how much passion the people put into their designs and how much they love to design clothes. It got me thinking of what I have always wanted to do since I was twelve years old. That is a beautician; a more fancy way of calling yourself a makeup artist & hair stylist.
I had come across this at home training course for a makeup course here in Edmonton last year when we first moved here and been keeping my open for the opportunity to save my loose change and left over money for it, but then kept dipping into it. So now I am going to be more responsible and not spend my extra money no matter what. The kit costs near $1585 for the whole learning kit give or take. The kit comes with over 30 dvd's and most of them being over three hours long. It also comes with a makeup kit with the basic colors and also professional makeup brushes. You do a lot of projects and take photos of yourself after doing an assignment or project and upload it to your personal account you have with them and they grade your work. You learn everything from the comfort of your own home and I can easily do this during my daughters nap times. She sleeps for a good hour, so I could do an hour a day for however long it takes me to do this.
I almost forgot how it made me feel when applying makeup on myself or a family member and friends. I have done a plethora of my friends makeup for christmas formal dances and such along with my own. Let alone my own makeup for my own wedding. Also my best friends wife for their wedding day as well (at no charge, since I am not professional). Although, she loved it. So from this point on for however long it takes me to save up for this kit I will do it until I have the money to do so.

Stuffed Meatballs
Oh yummy yummy yummy in my tummy. My mother and I just finished a batch of stuffed cheese meatballs. We divided the batch, half balls filled with mozzarella and the other stuffed with herbed havarti cheese. As for seasoning we put italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper and salt into the beef with a dash of sriacha sauce. And it smells so good. Mom just pulled the meatballs out of the oven. The aroma is just flowing all through the house right now and my mouth is salivating as I am writing this.
I am sorry that I did not think to take a picture. I will try my best to remember in future posts regarding food.

How Do You Tire Out Your Toddler?
I have been trying to find ways to tire out my wee one, but the baths before bed time don't work for me and I can't seem to get Aaliyah engaged into walking around the house long periods of time during the late evenings at all. I get her to climb our stairs with myself following closely behind, but she will only climb them about two times, which is not enough to tire her out. I even tried letting her play in the pool about an hour after supper hour and let her just play that does not work either. I even take her to the park down the street and she plays like crazy there, but it is not enough to get her tired out. So what I am wondering is what the heck am I suppose to do to get my energetic child to sleep so easily.
If you saw her for yourself you'd think she drank a bunch of redbull's and coffees. Oh the joys of being a mom can be so tiring at times.

Quick Post.
Sitting here waiting to go out with hubby and baby. So I figured I'd jot down something on here. As of today it is 16 more days to go until the day I leave to go to my hometown. I can't wait either. I miss all my friends. I keep playing in my mind what I will do with certain friends, but God only knows what will really take place. I keep thinking that I will be able to see everyone that I want to see, but I am coming to terms with the fact that I might not see everyone.
Well what was intended to be a long post on here has to come to an end, my daughter is done eating her green beans and that is who we are waiting on so we can go and run our errands. I will be sure to try and post more frequently.

A Lonely Night
I am here by myself, not really the baby is here. Although, Jonathan has an awkward shift where he is going to be spending the night over for his short change. He works until 12 at night and has to be back to work for 8am. So, here I am lonely. And can't sleep. Jonathan is my security. I don't feel safe in bed at night with out him by my side. And for this one night makes me think of the military wives that deal with their husbands being gone months at a time.
I don't like Jonathan being away from home right now for the one night. I am sure I'd be a basket case if he were in the military. So, to keep myself together I am trying to busy myself until I get sleepy and thank God for David Smith and his blogs. I am reading the two newest ones that I have not yet to read. After that I am sure to go onto wattpad (a website for writers) and see what's up on there for some good reads.
Well my baby is up as well now and is crying her freaking head off so I guess duty calls for a diaper change and a nice hot fresh bottle. Later taters.
