Mike and Lamont work together now which is VERY cool but they work on Saturday’s … and my ex took my kids this weekend, so mostly it was just me and Salina and Lala.
Lala ended up calling me mid Saturday morning, she had gotten out of work early and just wanted to spend the day with me.. so we picked her up in Pinole and then headed towards Fairfield- we ended at the mall first- walked around the shops, bought Shawn a birthday gift, did my rounds in Victoria’s Secret..bought some truffles from SEE’s Candies… then headed to Chuck E Cheese’s, for Shawny boy’s party. Christina had forgotten her camera so she asked me to be the picture girl that night.. it was fun taking pics of the kids acting wild and crazy, tickets, tokens, kids pulling Chuck E Cheese’s Tail- with pizza and cake stuffed faces…lol cute... Salina had a blast.. Played hard.. and by the time we got back home that night.. she was PASSED OUT- which was VERY NICE for me … after hearing kids screaming, crying, laughing all night…
That night when Mike got home from work we ended up doing a Wal-Mart run. We bought a couple of Christmas gifts for the kids and did some shopping for ourselves… Ok, I’m kinda tripping a little because I’ve been wanting to get fleece or micro fiber pajama pants- anyways… WHY IS EVERYTHING IN WALMART now CATERED to FAT people? They had a sale on fleece pajama pants for like $4.97 WHICH I THOUGHT was AWESOME.. But when I went searching for a Medium or a Small size.. THERE WAS NONE TO BE FOUND… it all started from large to XXX-large… WTF?! Everything that I thought was kinda cute or what not- was either LARGE or PLUS SIZE –
And the SHIT they do have in a size small or Medium.. was.. BOOTY UGLY… or ok maybe that’s extreme.. but it just wasn’t my style..
So I complained about my little dilemma to Mike and he ended up walking my ass to the little girl section where we found “fleece pajama pants” that was in a GIRLS size LARGE and it fit me PERFECT! The size and the length.. ha-ha considering I am Filipina.. which makes me semi legal midget… ha-ha J/k… but yea.. the little girls section worked out for me… as far as PJ pants go… Mike’s “theory” = I’m a skinny girl now… and all the skinny bitches get to wear Victoria Secrets… so don’t be so Mad if WALMART doesn’t have my size… Because Fat Girls can’t wear VS’s- so it’s a give and take -at first I was like…WTF? And what does that have to do with anything??? Then I thought about it… SMH.. and I started cracking up with him… lol.. DORK!
So 3 years ago… It was hard looking for my FAT ASS size in anything cute to wear.. now… its flipped… GREAT! Its good though.. I wouldn’t wanna trade spots again.. I’m TOTALLY HAPPY being a size 7- INSTEAD OF A 24-
On subject with FAT.. I’ve been working out at the GYM A LOT LATELY… which is a good thing… Anyways..I kinda got offended at my cousin Theresa’s comment she made to me on FB- I had posted how my ass and thighs hurt every time I try to walk up the stairs… and Sandie kept on commenting back to me about how she feels the same way.. anyways.. Theresa wrote… “your WORKOUTS shouldn’t make you hurt like that” AS IF SHE WAS a TRAINER GURU or something… she’s always had that HOLYIER than THOU attitude.. and I didn’t feel like putting the smack down on her, But her little remark BOTHERED me cuz she has NO IDEA HOW HARD AND what kind of WORKOUTS I do… so I commented back- “Yea, my workout’s shouldn’t hurt if I was doing Pilates or Yoga like you- But because I did Denise’s “BODY BLAST” class which consists of high intense cardio combo Kickboxing, Tae-bo and CORE strengthening like doing pushups, Burpies, fire hydrants, ab-work ALL while using WEIGHTS, IN A FAST PACED boot camp, circuit type of training… HAIL YA MY ASS BETTER HURT, AND BURN… I didn’t WORK OUT hard for nothing… SHOOT YOU TRY doing 50 moving squats on each leg back and forth as many as you can in 60 seconds and then try doing a 3 punch jab, then front round house and then back kick and repeat 5 to 8 times in less than 5 minutes nonstop-THEN TELL ME I SHOULDN’T HURT … cuz yea… if you don’t hurt then you must be plastic or some shit… and that was only a piece of the workout.. mind you.. it’s an HOUR and ½ long class-
Sandie backed me up on the comment and also clicked on the like button on that one… and Theresa never commented back- GOOD… think before you comment, cuz obviously she has NO CLUE what type of workouts I do…
ANYWAYS-
On Sunday morning the whole Steele family met up and we all drove out to Dixon to cut down a fresh Christmas Tree!
Mike’s dad was telling me they do this EVERY YEAR.. and now since I’m part of the family.. I had to help CUT/ CHOP the tree down too… it was fun.. Me, Salina and Mike rode the sleigh ride with Santa and his reindeers. Then we went into the little gift shop full of Christmas ornaments and goodies- They even gave everyone there Free hot cider and popcorn, and they had other activities too like ATV rides….Haystack maze…
Mike bought me the COOLEST BEENIE EVER!! It’s a panda bear beanie and it has a scarf already sewn to the beanie.. and the scarf also has hand mittens built into them.. (I have PANDA bear paws on mines) Which is to me the PERFECT WINTER BEENIE!! SCARF AND MITTENS BUILT IN.. and it’s a cute freaking PANDA bear?! I SOOO LOVE IT and used the SHIT out of it already yesterday… hahaha. So after the Tree cutting, sleigh ride, and cider drinking.. we headed home and decorated the tree and put the lights up. I LOVE THAT FRESH PINE SMELL in the house… it SOO BRINGS that CHRISTMAS mood into the air.
My sister texted me yesterday.. Josh is coming down from Okinawa then doing some training in Sacramento… then after that…they’re sending him to Afghanistan... when my sister texted me that.. I could feel the lump in heart and throat… I think we all felt it… a military FAMILY’S worst nightmare.. I don’t even wanna WRITE about it… I’m just gonna pray to GOD.. and TRUST that he KEEPS HIS HAND on Josh.. protecting him and HIS ENTIRE platoon as they go out there… on a lighter NOTE.. I’m definitely gonna take a Vacation day to see him while he’s here in CALI.. we were not expecting to see him for another 2 years.. but now his Duty has changed…. So yea… GOD PLEASE protect my nephew.. ALWAYS.
Ok I’m starting to get a little emotional on the what if’s that can happen to him so I’ll stop here. And I’ll write and post new pics later….
Love you, Miss you… MWAH~
