Not a people person...

So, last Friday I went to another Scentsy party. Presley has met most of these people before but hasn't seen any of them in quite some time. I thought she would be okay & she was for the most part. Until I put her on the floor to walk around. Another woman there has a 18 month old little girl (only 8 months older than P) and she is the sweetest little girl in the world! She walked up to P & tried to give her a big hug. I thought it was super sweet but P didn't like it. She started to cry & pushed the poor girl away. I felt so bad. After the little girl walked away P started to feel better. She continued to walk around with her little carrot stick & was happy as a clam. Well, my phone started to ring so I got up to get to my diaper bag. Another woman, scooped Presley up (because she was trying to pull on the table cloth... Scentsy crap would have fallen everywhere.) & apparently scared the living crap out of my baby! She started crying so hard that her face was beet red. Poor thing.

Needless to say, I'm a little upset. I never wanted Presley to be so shy. I'm constantly feeling like a "bad" mom because I don't ever hang around other people. I mean, it wasn't her fault that those people scared her. When we first had her, Jamie was in a bowling league. She was always around people & always the center of attention. Norma (our "Filipino" grandma) was always holding her & carrying her around. She was never shy & never cried. Then, Jamie quit the league & we stopped being around people all the time. Every once in awhile a couple people would come over or we would go hang out with them... but it stopped. Apparently, I come off as being rude because I don't call & chit chat every single day. (I am perfectly content without being around other people 24/7) But for Presley, I need to be around someone other than Jamie. I'm thinking of getting a swimsuit from ON or Torrid. I already ordered Peep one from Old Navy.
I'm a sucker for anything nautical. Haha. The swimsuits here in Guam are um, for the petite & I am anything but petite. So, I have fallen in love with this super cute swimsuit.
I'm not really into wearing a swimsuit solo. I need a coverup. I'm much too self conscious. I have my eye on these two coverups. They are so cute & I could always walk to the pool with just the coverup on. Especially the teal one.

I just hate ordering anything from Old Navy. For some reason, it takes a month to get to me!! Which is crazy because everyone else I talk to CLAIM that they get theirs in a week... maybe two!

Ugh. Oh well.

I'm back to thinking that San Diego is such a super awesome place. I mean, it seems to fit us more so than anywhere else. We are a tattoo crazed family & I don't think that is ever going to change. The hubby designed me an amazing chest piece years back that I would love to finally get. I just Googled San Diego tattoo shops & 12 popped instantly. I would love to have my own "personal" tattoo artist. Who knows what I love & who knows how to tattoo me juuust right. Some people have such heavy wrists (JAMIE) that it actually hurts more than it should. *sigh* I'm still determined to get my Sanrio half sleeve. I plan on becoming a dental assistant or hygienist once we're in San Diego, so the half sleeve is easily covered. PLUS if we DO move to San Diego, we want to STAY in San Diego as long as we can. Jamie can do both shore/sea duty in San Diego. So I've decided to go ahead & get my schooling started as soon as we get to SD. I checked to see how much (on average) a dental assistant makes & it isn't that bad. I mean, I don't really want to work a REAL full time job. I am a mother first & foremost but SD is pricey. We'll get almost $2100 from the Navy if we live off base. So I figured we could afford to buy a house. Especially if I worked. I mean, if we really love it in SD, we might as well buy a house! I want a house that looks like a typical Cali home. Haha. It's just hard to imagine paying $200+ for a house that is basically the same as our home in Kingsland that we paid... um, $119 for. Haha. I am currently in love with these two SD homes.
Too bad we aren't moving sometime soon... 1 1/2 years left! WOO! We call in October for our orders... I hope SD has something for us.

Forever.

I feel like it's been forever since I posted an actual blog. I've been so blah towards the internet unless I'm doing some shopping. Which reminds me... Presley's Halloween costume got here a couple weeks ago!! It's soo adorable but they sent the wrong size. Alas, I will have to make do with what I have. If I sent it back, it wouldn't be here in time for Halloween. Just another reason why I dislike living here. The costume isn't that big... the front hangs down but that's easily fixed. The shoes are waaay too big but I'm going to fix those as well. We aren't taking her trick or treating. We are going to sit in our "yard" and pass out candy. Since we live on base, I'm pretty sure we'll have TONS of trick or treaters... we better we have a 5 gallon bucket full of candy! Haha. Aside from getting ready for Hallowe'en, my birthday was the 18th! Woo! I'm freaking 24 years old! I feel like I've been 24 for about 2 years now. Haha. It was a good birthday. Jamie bought me the new iPod nano that I've been drooling over... in gorgeous (product) red. I love it. It's so amazing. I also was able to do a Torrid shopping spree & spend almost a hundred bucks on more Scentsy. I finally have all the warmers that I want... until the next catalog comes out. Haha. He also bought me a super yummy ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery & gorgeous flowers. [See my super cute Scentsy warmer in the corner... haha] Aah, he knows me so well. Sunflowers & stargazers are my favorite. They smell sooo good. Only one of two friends came over. It was okay. Mary & her little family stopped by and had some cake. I always love to watch Declan interact with Presley. She's soo sweet & I know that when Mary has another baby, she's going to best the best big sister that anyone could ever ask for.

Another woman I know actually had to have surgery. She's only going to be left with one ovary. :( It sucks big time BUT she got pregnant on her honeymoon (last October) and she has a simply GORGEOUS little boy who is now 3 months old. Anyway, I need to check on Presley and get her breakfast ready. She's going to want some tasty oatmeal when she wakes up.

BTW: I hope the guy weedeating in front gets stung by the bumblebees trying to invade a piece of wood outside. They aren't supposed to mess with our lawn when we have stuff on/in it. They better not destroy our Halloween decorations... I will be piiiisssed.

One more super cute picture. We bought this HK toy for my niece, Emma. Presley is showing her some love.



And these are some birthday kisses for mama.

I need a hair cut...

badly. I haven't had my hair cut in years. I think I just might go and get it trimmed. I have so many split ends. I really think about 3-4 inches off would be good enough. I also want to get my hair dyed. Nothing special... just all one color and dark. My hair is naturally dark brown but with the dead hair (that I've dyed through out the years and then never cut) it's a weird light reddish/brown at the ends. I think after the trim if everything still isn't one color that I might get it dyed a chocolate brown. Every single time I see women with gorgeous dark hair, I want to dye mine again. Haha.

Katy Perry is the perfect example. Her hair is so beautiful. Bah. Oh well. We'll see what happens within the next few days.

I have a "candle" party this weekend. I'm trying to be more outgoing. Having this party is a big step for me. I usually don't like people in general. I don't ever feel that comfortable around people that I don't really know. *sigh* I just don't want Presley to be a super shy kid like I was. Heck, I am just NOW starting to open up more. That's sad. The only real reason behind the candle party is that I want more wax and I forgot which scents I love. Haha. Plus, a friend of mine loves candles and she doesn't have any Scentsy. I figured that we might be able to scrap together enough people to have a party. Haha. I don't know a couple of the people that I invited. They are new to the island and I figured it would be nice for them to have something to do. Plus, Scentsy rocks.


Meh. I decided yesterday that I didn't want to get another small SUV. The darn FJ is considered an off road vehicle and I want a family car. I want to know that my little honey bee is safe. So, I did some research. I now want a 2008 MAZDA5. They are awesome. They are a car/minivan combined into one! Haha. Th back door slides open making it easier to load and upload your little one. Tehe. Jamie told me that once his Dodge is sold, I can sell my Honda and then we can get a new car. That's fine with me. We'll probably be stateside by then and I won't have to worry about wrecking my new car or killing it on the awful roads in Guam.





Anyway, I'm off to make a grocery list. Today is payday. Hoooray! Haha.
