Purposeful Serendipities

I used to be heavy on getting acrylic nail sets done with nail art at the beauty salon, but each trip was an experienced in itself. I love living in the hood for the good bargains and discounts, but I hate the extra stuff I have to deal with along with my good discount. First off you have to deal with the loud mouths who feel the need to get their services, and to tell everyone in the store their business by being super loud and obnoxious! Then you have the seat reserver/eye roller, the one who wants the owner Mr. Lee himself to do their nails and feels the needs to abuse and side each every customer or nail tech who prevents her from doing that. I loved getting my nails, but I felt like I was being punished at the same time. You also have to remember that nails require touch-ups which means I'm punishing myself bi-weekly. Double FML.

So anyhow lately I have increased my nail polish from like 5 to like 30 or so. I also purchased a nail stamping kit and some rhinestones to help my creative juices to flow. I have managed to come up with some cute designs, and I also have managed to fail a couple of times (I'm still learning proper stamping techniques! lol )


Anyhow here are some of my creations:

Hey Blog World! This weekend has been hectic and quiet at the same time. It was mi madre birthday so we spoiled her and took her to this Cuban restaurant that has an amazing fried red snapper dish. I brought her Zumba for her Nintendo Wii (I'm sooooo plottin' on that) and I brought her a watch too that I wanted to return so bad just because I felt like she made up wanting it. I honestly feel like she couldn't think of anything else to add to her "Daughter-Buy-Me-List:" (My mom is super spoiled. We give her everything her non-tech working behind can imagine!)

Anyhow I baked a Lemon Raspberry cake that i pulled off of the Betty Crocker website. All who knows me, know that I am not a fan of the kitchen, but I manuveured around and managed to make some bomb ass frosting and my cake was 2 LAYERS with filling in the middle!!!! I think I deserve some credit!!! Anyway my mom said it was good but that could have been a mom answer. My sister's "bitter dose of reality" children didn't hesistate to tell me they weren't feeling it too much. My boyfriend also felt the need to tell me the flavors didn't mix. I still think lemon raspberry is an awesome combo. I think it was too much lemon going on, and I didn't care for fresh raspberry or the candied lemon zest as I imagined. Some times things are better enjoyed when left simple (i.e. some homemade cake and frosting is sufficient enough). Here are some pics of my cake.


On another note: Currently job searching and hating it/beyond frustrated by it. I have a daily list of employment sites i visit religiously. I mean I watch a million reality shows with plenty of talentless people or work or encounter people in positions without the mental capacity to back up their title. Nothing in life comes easy, so I'll continue My Post-Grad Hustle & Flow Lifestyle.
Anyway I'll be in Jamaica in 2 weeks so take that Corporate America!!!! ;op

I recently purchased my beloved iPad 2. My iPad 2 was pretty serendipitous in itself because it was by luck that my sister’s co-worker happened to have an extra one. Of course being the tech junkie/closet apple product lover that I am, I couldn’t let this luck of fortune past me by. It took a little money scraping and favor-asking, but I got my iPad2 the next day, and it was love at first click/swipe. Now I have suffered the consequences of budget lunches/dinners and now a temp turned off cell phone, just because I chose my iPad 2.



The people in my life keep waving that red flag in my face saying, “Oh that is because you brought that stupid iPad”, ensuring that I don’t forget I brought myself an elaborate present. However they are completely forgetting the fact that getting the iPad 2 right now is either a lucky walk-in at a store or a 3 week waiting period game. I GOT LUCKY!!!! So what my phone is not working for approximately 8 hours, phone conversations are overrated! So what I have been eating Ramen more than once or sharing food with my 2 year old nieces!!!! It’s better than nothing. I work hard to splurge on myself every once in awhile, even if it is a little outrageous.

If it weren’t for my chance of luck, I would have stuck to my budget methods and got my iPad 2 or e –book reader device when the time was right. Seriously though how many times have you guys saw a shorter cashier line and opted to continue waiting in the long line with the extremely slow and careless cashier, or how many time have you gone to the amusement park and paid the $15 VIP pass so you can ride the faster without the lines.

While you are shaking your head at me with your judgmental eyes! I’ll be an app ahead of you HATER!

As I begin this post by typing it on my new iPad, I shake my head in amazement at how our world has changed. I just got off Yahoo.com and came across an article talking about equipping Girl Scouts with credit card swiping smartphone machine to help increase the facility of cookie sales. It made me laugh a little bit I didn't know if I should compare the cute little girl scout to a bible waving Jehovah witness dedicated to weekly harassment sermons or to the pesky telemarketer ready to supply u with the new coolest gadget and only needs ya card to send u a trial.


Lol regardless I guess good job for the Girl Scouts of America, and for the little girl that will use is cool device or manage their mini cookie empire it will be great job/business experience. For all you no money having people that deny the girl scouts standing in front of your local supermarket, you will need to come up with new excuses.

Recommitment ceremony and the bride wanted a full-size cake of the bride and groom, but only the bride made it to the big day. LMFAO! First off this seems so . . . what’s that word again . . . hmm. . . tacky?!?! I don’t like to judge, but really you want to get married and eat a big cake of you?!?!? What happen to there is no “I” in Team or how about the word “LOVE”. Would it have been too simple to just get an edible photo cake of the couples most romantic moment and put it on a cake or individual cupcakes?!?!? If the cake was at all symbolic of their marriage what the hell is the message? “Guess Who Runs Shit?!?!” I wonder what was the cost of the Bridezilla cake?!?!? And who the hell is eating all that damn cake?!?!? Oh yeah I forgot we are all obese Americans! Double SMH & a Sham-MutherLovin-Wow!!!!
