The one thing I miss the most when I'm away from home is my bed. There is nothing like sinking into my mattress and having that kind of sleep that feels like a hibernation! I also love that I can go about the house here in very little clothes... Shorty shorts and a t shirt.


I love my nieces so much, it's so hard to say goodbye. I was fighting back tears at the airport. It's funny you think you really know what love is, but loving a child is so much more pure and intense. I can't imagine what it will feel like when I have my own children, I can't wait. It's especially hard to say goodbye to Zooey now that she is almost 5, she cries when we leave and it makes me so sad to see her sad. She is the sweetest, most beautiful, inquisitive, little girl it's always such a joy to be around her and teach her new things. Kyla legitimately thinks I'm her grandma now and she is the most stubborn, crazy, silly, cuddly ball of love and cuddles. Alice thinks she is older and always getting into everything because she wants to be just like her sisters. It's all around madness and I love every minute I have with them... So precious!


As for my boys, they are precious too and my family and I are so lucky to have men like (e:Paul) and (e:Terry) who take our family in as their own, let me use their car, and spend quality time with my nieces. It means so much to me and my sister and mother. People like this are not common!

It's so hard to find a balance between crazy party me and auntie me... I was so hungover on Saturday, it was like a near death experience lols! But (e:Mike) tends to bring out the monster in me!

(E:yesthatcasey) and (e:libertad) I owe you a fried chicken dinner next trip!!!!


I had the best plane ride back of my life with a whole row to myself.... And a less than half full plane with no children. Amazing.


Miss you all so much already!

A little construction gone wrong...


The truck fell in the hole.

Not only was the plane from Phoenix to Charlotte freezing, it also feels like they don't even hear the Charlotte airport. All these people walking around with t shirts on... And I have on two jackets and a good and scarf.


I am so happy I packed literally every warm clothing item I own for the next week. Anything below 80 is like winter for me. Maybe PayPal has an office somewhere in the tropics....

2 cups honey but Cheerios

3/4 almond milk

1 banana

3 mints

3 ricola cough drops


None of it stayed down. Being sick is pissing me off because it interrupts my whole daily routine. I couldn't even go to the gym or for a walk... I could barely manage to pack and shower. Here's hoping to ok travel... I want to just sleep the whole way.

I suddenly became sick last night out of nowhere and I literally slept for 16 hrs... I have to do so much cleaning and packing and I have zero energy.

Plus the fact that I really don't want to be sick on a plane as (e:Paul) and I have discussed. I guess I'm gonna have to drink liquids only today and not eat. Probably should skip the gym too. Hopefully it's just a 24 hr bug that will disappear by 1230 tonight when I fly out!
