Hi ho Hi ho...

Not that kind of ho! Just kidding...Today was an exceptionally busy day at work...no time for fun and games or shopping. I found out today that I will be a guest at yet another wedding. When we got married we said we couldn't wait to experience a wedding from the other side. And we have been blessed with 6 weddings in just a little more than a year.

We had Brandie & Deech Hassan on December 2. A beautiful wedding of our two great friends.

My Dad and Sheri's wedding on December 15th. True Allen Cameron Style with some extra tables and chairs.

We will be going to my Cousin Dana's wedding coming up here on the 30th of March. I haven't seen her in years and it would be great if all the Cousins could make it (Jenny I'm speaking to you!) It has been something like 20 years since we have all been together...Yes 20 YEARS!!! that's sad considering I am only gonna be 28. But none the less...It too will be a very special occasion.

Ivan's Cousin Jenny is getting married somewhere between April 4th to the 6th. A big fancy occasion with hundreds of people. What the heck am I gonna wear???

My Lil Brothers wedding on the 15th of June...I am excited but also nervous for him...He is kinda shy. I hope he just lets go and dances his ass off all night! I know he will atleast save one dance for me ;)

Then we fast forward to 2009 which seems so far away but in actuality it's really right around the corner. Jenny & RJ's Wedding!!! They are so great for eachother...I passed judgement right off the back in when I first met RJ about 3 years ago...But I couldn't imagine my Favorite Cousin with anyone else but RJ. He is a sweet heart and she is so smart they are such a great blend.

Then there is also Jay and Krista's wedding which is a wedding that I won't be going too but I wish them the best of luck! He deserves a good girl like her and she has brought nothing but the best out of him. I am sure they will share their pics with me and I can't wait to see those.

I never thought in a million years that so many people I knew would be getting married all around the same year...It's crazy. But I am proud to say that Ivan and I are the trendsetters of 2007!!! But, ya know what??? I might not have gotten married in 2007 if it weren't for my Sister giving me her seasoned advice. A veteran...she got married a few years ago. So...CONGRATS to Christine & Darrence for being the first ;)

Now...What the HECK and I going to WEAR to these next four weddings??? It seemed that when there were just two wedding I could get away with wearing the same thing and switching it up with shoes and accessories but now I have a dilemma ...I need 4 dresses or something. Oh god Oh god! I better get shopping!

I gotta go...Sorry...I need to scope out a few ideas here on my trusty laptop so that I can get an idea of what to look for and what I need to buy online. Not to mention deals!!! I got to get 4 great deals.

Tales of an Insomniac Shopaholic...

Ok...I can't sleep. It sucks. It's 1:53 a.m. EST atleast I don't have to worry about getting up for work tomorrow cause it's Sunday. I didn't sleep well Friday night and slept mid day to this evening so it's definately the reason I am up still. I hear my dog and husband snoring away and I am just jealous. I wish I could just fall asleep when my head hits the pillow. I wonder what that feels like. Or to be able to sleep even with the t.v. or "miscellaneous" noises sometimes its light. The clicking of the blinds because of the Ac is blowing. But, the AC is one of the most comforting noises when I am sleeping...I always fall asleep when it's on...Or I lay awake until it click back on and then I try to hurry back to sleep. What a chore! I have thought about buying one of those noise machines that makes the static noise. I have acutally picked one up at various stores in the Mall like Sharper Image or Brookstone and even I think at good ol trusty Walmart, But, I always seem to "put it back" LOL I am just not sure if will work and ofcourse I can return it if it doesn't but, I can never get around to returning things. I probably have $200 worth of things to return. Any who, maybe some day I will get one of those machines. I think one from Brookstone would be best. Well, I am signing of here and hopefully I will get sleep sooner than later.

No Outing for the day...

Today is Saturday and all though I would normally have made it through a couple stores already I am restraining myself because we are planning to go to Tampa next weekend. So that's a sad face for today, but, I SUPER BIG SMILEY FACE for next week!

My latest "Spree"...

I went to Walmart...Walked around for a lil bit to stretch my legs. I spent $11.oo! Wow big spender. Wanna know what I bought??? Mini Hair clips, Bubble Bath and Bath Salts AND my best purchase, SUNFLOWER SEEDS!!! I decided I am gonna plant them in the front of our place :) I know they grow really tall and I think it would be fun...best of all...1 little packet of quite a few seeds cost $1.50!!! What a bargain :)

Yes...It's the small things that matter to me!

Do you ever go to the store...any store...and shop around and then put things back??? LOL! Do you put those items back where you got them from or just throw em where ever when you think no ones looking??? HAHA I will be honest since I am confessing of my shopaholicism - I do a mixture of both :-/ What about you?

BTW...Yesterday I did shop...ONLINE I wasn't feeling great but I did manage to shop. There's no stopping this girl I tell you. But , I swear they were necessary Items. Really.

I love Coach...

I LOVE coach!!! Not just for the C's...The bags stay together and are really worth the money. Most people close to me swear I get a new bag like every other month, but this is not true. Maybe they think this cause my bag always looks new :). Anywho...My Very First Coach bag I got onsale at a Ross I think. I only bought it because it was coach. It was a tote with pink lining. I have since past that on to my Sister. My next Coach was "Heather"...Oh Heather how I miss you so :( But I know she is in good hands. I gave it to my sister again. See I can trust my sister will take good care of my bags like she knows I take good care of her kids...YAYA :) But Heather was a big purchase I paid almost 300 bucks for her....SO I figured I would name her. I think it was my Mom's idea to name her. I bought Heather when I was living in Hawaii. And she traveled with me around for about 3 years!!! (Yes I am still referring to my bag that I named) On numerous Airplanes and then Cross Country From CA to NY then back to good ol Florida in 2005. Yup Heather has plenty of memories with me. Now Heather is with Chrissy and made some memories with her and the kids I am sure. But, Chrissy got a new bag this past xmas and I think heather is napping somewhere in a sleeper. What's a Sleeper??? A sleeper is a bag that "expensive" bags come in. It's great it keeps them smelling fresh of leather and dust free! what an invention...How come I couldn't have thought about that? Damn...I would have been able to buy SOOOO many more things.

Since Heather I have gotten a few other great bags...My newest and most favorite is my Sig Denim Tote...LOVES IT! My husband now spoils me with a new bag on big occasions...and even sometimes when I make up an occasion ;) Like our 3 month wedding anniversary...Everyone celebrates that right??? He is great! Not just cause he buys be nice things...But, he really understands me and just get's it...Not many men do. Thanks Iv! I am not gonna make a run down of my "inventory" but, most of my bags are limited edition ones and I am grateful for each and every one...aaaaah the smell of leather!

Well...For now I am not shopping for any Coach because it's winter and the styles are icky...I have my eye on something for a while now...LV! Yeah baby...A Speedy25 Very versatile though and I am sure to get many many years of use outta that. I only want one and that's it. Then ofcourse a wallet too...at some point :)

I'm hungry...Where should I go to get something to eat?

The begining...

It must have all started when I was so young...Maybe it was when I would go to CVS with my sister when I was like 5 or maybe it was when I made my first purchase of like lipstick or something when I was 8 or 9. But, I have been shopping ever since. I love it. The way it feels to have a bag with something new in it. Or even the newest product. It's great! I love walking into the mall and walking out with lots of bags...Or even into Walmart. Walmart is a shopaholics paradise because you can spend so little and get so much CRAP! Even if it's crap it's still my crap...LOL So I wanted to start a blog and wasn't sure what to title it. So I figured I would make the title about something I know lots about and enjoy doing. Also, I plan to write just different thoughts and such on here. I hope you enjoy and are entertained.
