My Sunday Before The Big Day

So I went to the gym this morning. I did the same yesterday. Good for me. I did 40 minutes on the stair master and a some crunches and weights afterwards. Though I didn't do too many weights, at least I put in 40 minutes of sweat. Sweat that I could feel drip down between my boobs and also the crack of me bum. That wasn't a good feeling. I got confused as to why I was so wet. ANYWAY....I left the gym and started my way back home. I stopped off at a store and bought some earrings. Nothing fancy but just some studs to decorate my ears when I didn't wear my fancy long earrings.

So today is Sunday and I usually clean up and wash my hair. I'll have to do that early so I can enjoy the rest of my day on the couch. I hope to watch a movie or two, at least. I don't really watch anything these days. So then what do I do when I'm home?? I'm gonna have to schedule my days now. Mas did that all the time when he was here. I would argue with him when he wanted to do the laundry by 8am on a saturday and I would look at him and warn him of a brutal attack if he didn't let me sleep in til 10. Come on, I work all week and I'm up at 6:30!! So maybe if I do that, I can enjoy the rest of my day and night. Yes, I have given in to his ways. Nooooooo!!

I've also manage to not spend too much money and budget myself each week. Am I saving? (next paragraph)

So this is the Sunday before my birthday. I turn another year older. Instead of getting upset that I'm getting older, I look at it as a blessing that I have made it another year. That I still have my family and my health and my sweet little Booboo. I had Booboo since I was 19 years old. I'll be turning 36 tomorrow. Oh my god. That's long, right? I mean, he keeps me young. I don't think he'll be around for another year. I thought that last year when he was 15 1/2. Now he's 16 going on 17 in June. He's on Medication and it helps him keep going. He'll still run like he's a puppy sometimes. But I know that one day he won't get up and run that way. When he's with me and he's on my lap, he'll look up at me and I wonder if he's telling me he's gonna go. But it doesn't seem to be the case yet. I'm watching him very closely. But back to me, yes, I'll be a year older. It's okay, I'm happy, but I'd rather be turning 22 instead. If I were born on a leap year, I would be 22 for 4 years. That's what I'd tell everyone. I DON'T CARE. If I was born on a leap year and it only comes around once every 4 years, then that's the deal. "You're 22 again, Lani?" "Yes bitch, so return that 23 year old card crap back to the store."

My tub is ready for me and it's filled with cranberry bubble bath. I shall enter it one leg at a time. It'll be a bit warm. Maybe hotter than warm. It'll feel good. I'll sit in my tub and think about my year at 35. It'll go something like this....

I was surprised by Mas with a birthday ice cream cake at my place. There were tears of joy because it was lovely and pink and I like ice cream cake. I knew I was gonna be eating it all. :)

*************************

I had my second birthday cake at my parents home. It was by Valencia. I grew up on that cake. I love it so much. I hope to get one this year. But I won't expect it. My parents would have to go out of there way to get it. I think the Bronx. :( But whatever it is, I know I'll be eating it all.

Oh please, oh please.

*****************************

My mother, no matter how old I am, will always pull out the table cloth. Very girly for a lovely girl. Her little princess. Do I mind? Not at all. Cause my mother goes out of her way to make my birthday special. Awww....

*************************

At some point in my 35th year, there was alot of light in my face. It caused me to cover my eyes a bit so that I could see in front of me. It was pretty scarey.

**************************

At another point in my 35th year, I gave my nephew a lolly pop. Scared that it was laced with some sleepy remedy, I later found out he was just sleepy and it was time for his nap.

Phew....

**************************

In the jungles of the San Diego Zoo, I found myself staring deep into the eyes of this creature. I thought that maybe he would look away, but he kept his focus on me and my camera.

********************

One night on my 35th year, I karate chopped Mas in the neck when he got out of line and tried to make fun of me. Little did he know I was faster than lightening. He understood me from that moment on. I did, however, feel bad and made up for the karate chop, by giving him a big LJ hug with love. :) He's a good guy and deserved it.

**************************

One day on my 35th year, I was bored at home. So I had decided to take out some dolls and put them to work on the streets.

***************************

On another day during my 35th year, I was asked to photograph someone's feet. She painted her toe nails for the 4th of July. I said she was crazy, so I tripped her and left.

*******************************

One day before I was about to wash my hair, I decided to pull my hair out straight to see the shape of it. My hair dresser had cut it into an entirely new shape. I had this picture taken so that I could show it to the new hair dresser so that he or she can avoid this shape and my hair wouldn't look so full on top. It was just all wrong. I never went back to her and it's been a year since I had my hair trimmed.

Okay, so that's pretty much it. My 35th year was very exciting. I hope this year brings me bigger and better things. I hope to have a new hair doo, finally update my website, lose weight and just have fun.

So enjoy your Sunday. My bath is still warm and waiting for me.
