Malan's First Step

01/24/12
My baby took her first steps today. Me and her dad was playing with her and stood her up and she took one step and feel down, then got back up and took two steps and was doing so good. When her dad went to get the camera so we could record it, Malan started messing around, playing trying to get the camera and wouldn't stand up lol. Finally I got the camera while her dad got her and put a candy cane in front of her and then she started getting excited. I gave her the candy cane and she stood up and took some steps. I couldn't believe it, my baby getting so big. Malan kept taking steps. At one point she took like 3-4 all together without falling. We managed to get two videos of her *smiles*
Watch out now world, Malans on the go!

Weekend Recap

01/22/12
Well overall I had a good weekend. The usual being lazy, catching up on sleep, spending time with my daughter and her dad, cleaning, cooking and all that fun stuff. I could'nt go to the gym thou on Friday due to "female problems", so I stayed home and did my work out video which was good.
Malan had started to stand up by herself a lot more now, especially when she holds food in her hand, she will stand there for a long time and even do her little dance she made up lol. It is so cute. Me and her dad have started to pick her up and one of us will be away from her and call her to come to us. Malan stands there doing her little dance but she is so scared to move one foot infront of the other. Although she tryed it but didn't quiet manage to pick up her leg to far off the ground and fell. She didn't hurt herself. When shes ready though she will begin to take those little steps by herself, for now she will continue to stand up by herself and make me and her daddy smile.

Also on Friday it was my little sisters 18th birthday. She lives in England so I didn't get to see her or anything but I did messege her on my blackberry, which is nothing new. Modinat (my sister) had a party and I think she enjoyed herself which was nice. Its crazy thinking that my sister is 18 already. I haven't seen her since 2008 so I still remember her being that young. Even when she tells me shes going to drink and things like that it is so shocking to me because I still think shes so young. In England the legal age to drink is 18. Although I don't drink myself it's her life so no matter what my opinion is on that, thats all it will remain is an opinion.
I called my dad this weekend to so I could talk to him, seeing as I only really talk to him on my days off so I call him anytime between Thursday and Saturday. He didn't answer though, or he didn't call back so I might just try again sometime this week.
I had to make a new facebook page because I said I wanted the new timeline thing they have on facebook and ended up not liking it but they wouldn't set my profile back to the way it was and I hated the way the timeline app made it look. I just deleted my old page and created a whole new facebook, which I didn't mind because the facebook I deleted didn't have much going on seeing as that was pretty new so I didn't loose out on friends or anything like that, everyone just added my new page or I added them.

I also painted my nails this weekend seeing as I wanted to pass some time before I went to wash clothes. I painted them black and gold which was pretty pointless because my nails got ruined not even 20 minutes later. But good thing I did them just to pass time and not because I was going somewhere nice.

I found out my sister is having a boy which is pretty much what I thought, but seeing as my family is mostly all girls that kind of swayed my thoughts. My sister is due in May and my other sister was born in May so lets see when baby decides to come.
Finding out my sister was pregnant was pretty hard for me, especially looking back at everything I went through, I would never and still don't want non of that to happen to her. They say everything happens for a reason so if shes happy so am I.
Only thing my dad still doesn't know that shes pregnant which is pretty awkward with me knowing and talking to him asmuch as I do. Also she talks to him but shes still not quiet ready to tell him. I just hope everything works out for the best.

So there you have it that was my weekend in a nut shell. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Now its back to work!

Thank God It's Friday

I'm so happy its Friday, I get to wake up in my own bed next to my daughter and her daddy. Today I woke up with Malan and let Marlan sleep in. I made her usual breakfast (oatmeal and bananas). After I was supposed to go washing but the weather was terrible, it was snowing and it kept snowing all day so I wasn't even able to go to the gym either. Instead I did my work out video at home and worked out a little sweat there. We stayed in all day and just relaxed.
I cooked some dinner, which was chicken, string beans and rice. I'm not the best cook, but I'm getting better. You can see Malan was happy with her food. This was really the first time shes had a meal like that, she usually eats from mine or her dads plate or has her own baby foods. So today she was happy she got a "big girl" meal. I fed her for a while then after she sat in her highchair in the kitchen and fed herself. bad idea, lol. I'm happy she enjoyed her dinner though. After I had to put her in the bath and clean up the mess she made in the kitchen. Malan was so tired after her food settled and she got her bath. She played in bed and fell asleep. Me and her dad played in the living room to watch a movie, I ended up falling asleep then waking back up. I was so sleepy, Marlan stayed and watched the movie then later joined me and Malan in bed.
I love my Fridays/days off and spending time with my family!

My Pretty Boots

01/18/12
So after getting off work at 8am after doing a 10 hour overnight shift, I had to do a 3 hour cpr class right after I got off I was so tired. Well when I got home I saw a box sitting at my doorway. MY SHOES (I ordered these like last week before me and Marlan had that talk). So I was super happy when I got home and I saw them. I opened them to put them on and they where just to pretty. They're thigh high and the fit is excellent. So now I'v got my thigh high heel boots!
I got them off justfab.com . This will be my last pair of shoes for a long time seeing as I'm no longer shopping in order to save =]

Save save save

01/15/12
Today Marlan had a talk with me about money and how much I'm spending. I'v had my job since October and what money do I really have to show for it. I have new shoes, clothes and accessories. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not in debt or anything but I could have way more money than I already have if I would cut out all this unnecessary shopping I do. I have plenty clothes and way more than enough shoes and the worse part is I barely leave the house to even wear any of them. I'v got so much stuff in my wardrobe with the tags still on them but yet I buy more things.
Its like when I see items on sale, I want to buy them if their nice but I dont need them so I need to stop doing that to myself.
Growing up not having a lot of stuff and mainly everything I wore was second hand and now being able to buy my own things, its like I'm trying to make up for all the things I never had. I don't need to do that though because its only materialistic stuff that could easily be taken away from me. With that being said, I promised I wouldn't shop nomore, no matter how good the sale is or how pretty an item is. I don't need all that stuff, especially if I'v got a wardrobe full of new things and older things I can put together.
Its not a bad things wanting to dress nice and feel good wearing certain things, but first make sure your money is right. Clothes and shoes will be around for a long time, newer things come out and better things come out than what you just spent your money on.
From now on all I'm doing is saving, saving and doing more saving. Only buying the items I need, rather than the items I think I want!

It's Art

01/15/12
Marlan told me to get showered and dressed this morning. He wouldn't tell me why or where we was going. I got me and Malan dressed then he got up and did the same thing. As we was driving I kept wondering where it was we was going and why was it a suprise. When we got there I saw he took me to a art gallery. I was happy because this was mine, aswell as his first time going to one of these. He told me he wanted to show me there are different things we can do in the state that we live in (because I don't like the state we live in and want to move asap). This was a nice experiance and it did kind of prove there are different things we can do in this boring state. Malan had fun to seeing as there was another baby boy there that she kept looking at, waving and laughing lol. Marlan brought a piece of art to hang over the tv in the living room because it looks kind of plane, and I brought something little because I liked it and it was my first painting. I told Marlan I might start buying art now and slow down on my shoe addiction. He said "Oh no" lol.
I had a great afternoon with my family and hope everyone else does also.

Nice day out

01/14/12
Today around 5pm we went to watch Marlans little cousin play basketball at his high school, but by the time we got there we missed his game and ended up staying to watch the other people play sorry. After that me, Marlan and Malan went out to Applebees with his cousin and her boyfriend seeing as it was her birthday on Friday. We had fun, Malan just wanted to eat up everything and was so excited when the food came to the table. We then came home and now I'm about to make some hot chocolate once I log off the computer. Me and Malan are going to lay down and watch some movies because my nose is stocked up and hurts so bad. Its been like this since yesterday morning but it seems like its gotten a lot worse. I'm starting to get a headache now *sad face*.
Well until tommorow good night and I hope everyone has a wonderful an safe Saturday night.

Happy 22nd Birthday Barbara
