I think the next pair I buy will be by skullcandy. I’ve been eyeing those thigns for a long time, and if you look at how much I’ve spent total on crappy headphones it more than pays for a pair of nice ones!

I totally missed out on part one, but I’m going to go ahead and do part two anyways

28) What’s your biggest “what if”?

The shop is located in Detroit and some of the customers can get pretty rowdy, so it’s definitely an entertaining watch if you’ve never seen it before!

My little girl is getting so big!

Aunt Amanda is home from rehab for her bath salt addiction! Wahoo! She is doing great. To reward herself, she’s planning on taking an awesome disney world vacation for her and little Janice, Jr.!

Speaking of that sweet baby, Jerome was sad to see her go but very happy that she’s back with her mama. Here’s a recent photo I snapped when I went to see them last week.

 Hope everyone is having a good week

1. How did 2011 treat you? Any highlights?
I’m not going to lie,  2011 has been a really hard year for us. It started off with Vernon’s dad being so ill we weren’t sure he was going to make it. Then they lost their home. Lots of sick days from work…. we’ve had lots of car trouble with Vernon’s truck, and ended the year with some not-so-great news from Lo’s cardiologist. There were a few highlights though, and I’d say the top one was our vacation to Panama City!

2.Got any specific high hopes for 2012? What are they?
That it’ll be a better year than 2011!

3. Name 3 goals for the upcoming year.
In 2012 I want to lose a little weight, GET ORGANIZED, and start saving more money!

She’s always been a very stable and logical person, so how she fell into this, I’m not sure. I know she mentioned that she read an article about this couple who used “bath salts” and that they went into a hotel and pepper sprayed everyone, including their CHILDREN, who were sitting outside on the sidewalk crying, while they were on their rampage inside.

That’s what makes it so hard to believe about all of this. She knew that stuff made people go whacko. I just hope with all my heart that she gets the help she needs for herself and for her sweet baby Janice.

I’m sure you’re thinking wow–what if they don’t ship in time? But one of the reasons I felt alright waiting is because I scored a FREE year long membership for ShopRunner (free two day shipping on participating sites). I ordered some electrical switch plates yesterday using my ShopRunner account and they were waiting on me when I got home!

I also got her some other great gifts. We’re going to pick out a few more smaller items along with some clothes (she is growing like a WEED! 2T tops are pretty much too small for her!) and Santa will be ready to visit Lo! I am so excited!

Meet little baby Janice! Isn’t he just precious? They are both doing well in the hospital and should be able to go home today or tomorrow. What a perfect Christmas present! I can’t wait until Aunt Amanda, Janice, and Janice Jr. come over for Christmas dinner and to exchange presents. I’m really excited to buy gifts for the baby!

I’m not going to mention what I got Aunt Amanda since she reads my blog but I did get Janice, Sr. some dj gear after hearing that Janice was in need of some more equipment. I really hope Janice likes it, and that I got something that will be of good use!

In between work and going back and forth from the hospital, I’m trying to fit in more Christmas shopping. Lo’s baby sitter’s gifts are taken care of, as well as Mimu. Still a lot more to go!
