Thanks to <a href="http://www.moltobellaphotography.com/">Stacy</a> for the motivation to update this thing. she has also been a bit of a blog slacker too so i thought i'd let her know she's not alone.<br /><br />along with the update, u may notice i've changed the name of my blog. my life is going through some drastic changes and i really don't have an outlet to vent. i cannot vent on facebook or myspace due to the in-laws (soon to be out-laws) being in my social network. yes, u've guess it, the hubs and i have decided to part ways. being a stay-at-home mom is going to put me at a disadvantage. i've got 3 kids and no income, but i do have a plan. just need to put the plan into action.<br /><br />i've decided that i am going to scrap this process. i need a creative outlet and a reminder to myself. so i'll be doing a book of me and i'll be sharing it here. i have some great quotes that fit this situation. one of my favorites is something that Linda has said to me too many times to count, "take the knot from your stomach and hand it to the person causing it" couldn't be anymore appropriate and has earned a coveted spot in my book. <a href="http://www.moltobellaphotography.com/">Stacy</a> always posts amazing quotes on her facebook and a week or so ago she posted one that really hit home for me. that one will also have a page.<br /><br />thanks for reading and keep a look out for the 1st pages of my book of me.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17770530908911773381noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343887854821404402.post-79843768510460201142009-06-29T18:10:00.001-05:002009-06-29T18:11:58.544-05:00check out this cool giveaway! <a href="http://lisafalduto.blogspot.com/2009/06/prize-package.html">http://lisafalduto.blogspot.com/2009/06/prize-package.html</a><br /><br />i know its been forever since i updated this thing...maybe i will later on, lolNikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17770530908911773381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343887854821404402.post-56108418235981571832009-03-13T12:46:00.002-05:002009-03-13T12:53:17.774-05:00friday the 13th faveswow, so what a great day today will be! my BFF melissa will be here later tonight from Texas. i cant wait!!! so here are my faves!!!<br /><br />**dole mandarin orange fruit cups: my kids LOVE these and they are so easy! no need to peel!!! i hate peeling! lol<br /><br />**Sam's Club: i went for the 1st time yesterday and it was AMAZING!!!!! you wouldnt believe how much cheaper is is to buy string cheese in bulk!!!<br /><br />**HOT SEX: no, not the dirty kind, lol. its a kind of liquor and its SOOOO tasty. i think ima get a bottle for melissa's visit.<br /><br />**PRIMA: sorry they are just gonna be on the list for a while. i've never seen so much prima stuff in person! its amazing!!!!<br /><br />**The Melting Pot: OMG its amazing!
