HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY TO MY E....

Halloween 2009

So this year I honestly had a blast hanging out with old friends, new friends and a close family member of mine. I got a little creative with costume ideas, then wound up settling for one I loved, Miss Krueger. I had this awesome face mask for one side of my face but the damn spirit gum I bought irritated my skin and by the time I was finally done attaching it, my face was on fire! Gotta say thanks to E for helping me put it on. Anyhow, that kinda bummed me out for my costume so I went more cute than half cute to my Halloween/Birthday party!



Anyhow, I am happy to report that I was the ONLY Miss Krueger in the house and not even a sighting of the O.G. Freddy himself made an appearance. Come to think of it, I didn't see one Michael Jackson impersonator NOR did I ever hear "Thriller" played. Hmm interesting. It's like a given that you'd play that song on Halloween or in honor of it. I mean come, you KNOW dj's couldn't wait for 1999 new year's eve night to play Prince's "1999" so why not oblige the same to M.J.? Anyway, I had a blast, saw some great friends (old friends from the "I'm in my 20's days) and also met some new ones that I think will become great ones (Jessica)! I also hung out with a close confidante of mine and it felt good to have some ME time. On the actual night of Halloween, I decided to stay in for fear of damn 5-O's and also drunken drivers. Though I turned in early that night, I kept waking up because my mom and bros were out..they had a great time too from what I hear ;-) Mojo even got in on the action. She was the "Little Devil" which suits her because she straight out doesn't give a hoot! Alright, enough rambling, enjoy the pics and hope your Halloween was just as fun as mine.

HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY HELLO KITTY!

My fixation with Hello Kitty began when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I remember a friend of mine came to school with some stamp sets and stickers and wanted to trade some of her stuff for some of my lunch. I had the best lunches at school. My mom's packing of my lunchobox was legendary! Not only would I get a spectacular sandwich, but she would also put the top juice boxes, chips, twinkies/zingers, string cheese, pickles, etc. I mean at any given time at lunch I would sit down at the bench and have 10 classmates sit beside me begging me for something out of my lunchbox. On this particular day, my friend Margarita, a little natural redhead with freckles, who I later nicknamed "Strawberry Shortcake" asked me for my chips. I was ready to hand them over when she suddenly pulled out this stamp set and said, "I'll trade you these for your chips." I set my eyes on that stamp set and it was love at first sight. I still have that stamp set! I then told my mom about it and she took me to my first of many trips to the Sanrio store.




I have owned everything from stickers, notepads, purses, shirts, underwear, sweaters, stamps, jewelry, shoes, etc. The list goes on and on! I can never have too much! I then became a My Melody fan as well. However, Hello Kitty would be my first love. As time went on, my passion for her grew further. I began purchasing things for my office and car. When my nieces were born, I bought them Hello Kitty as well. I have also been known to purchase items of her for children of friends and also my younger cousins. I have thought about getting a tattoo (small but still present) as well. I am just not sure where I would put it. But I am still considering it! Anybody who knows me knows my love for her. I am 35 years old now and I must say that my love for Hello Kitty has NOT dwindled one bit! I still love her til' this day and I will forever love her!


HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY HELLO KITTY! You have and will always continue to bring joy to my life!
