i've been neglecting this little ole blog. so much has happened since my last post.
i am good. we are good.
i'm currently on vacation. spending a month on the east coast visiting loved ones.
we pulled into norfolk, va today.
left dover, de earlier.
here we are at rehoboth beach, de.
i will be adding photos of our trip as the days progress.
peace.lady butta.flyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05859998318382359934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071439.post-10284219230464037822009-02-23T22:15:00.002-09:002009-02-23T22:21:16.758-09:00this is my last week at work.
i've been looking forward to taking that afternoon yoga class i've been wanting to do for over a year now.
also been dreaming of spring. the sun has been shining so bright lately, that it's almost tricked me into thinking spring is around the corner.
i'm going to finally take that vacation i've been thinking about the last 8 months.
how are you? what's new?lady butta.flyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05859998318382359934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071439.post-36336996642355660332009-02-20T21:48:00.002-09:002009-02-20T21:53:53.638-09:00my subconscious has been working overtime.
i dreamt i was in a relationship.
i felt special.
beautiful.
loved.
then! the scene switched
& i was laughing with my girl.
i woke up that way.

feeling special
& beautiful
& loved.

after a lot of agonizing, i've decided to leave my job. the thought of pursuing bflywears full-time had been eating away at me so i figured i should give it a shot. i'm very glad i made the decision to do it. all of the stress i've been experiencing the last couple of years disappeared the moment i gave my boss my resignation letter.

i am very excited about this year. i've got so many good things planned and i can't wait to embark on them.
i made a few resolutions:
1. have more fun with my wardrobe.
2. use my food processor more
3. say yes more
i've fallen into a rut with my wardrobe and that's gonna change. i haven't been feeling too fly lately and i've gained my weight back so needless to say i lady butta.flyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05859998318382359934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071439.post-69984555047944900442008-12-29T21:09:00.002-09:002008-12-29T21:30:17.878-09:00i've been knitting & boy does it feel good.
this is a baby sweater for my little cousin. i used the knitting pure & simple neckdown baby cardigan pattern. the size is 18 months, but when i first looked at it i wasn't sure if it was big enough. it seems like it's been such a long time since lil miss could fit in something this small.
i'm currently looking for a new project to start. lady butta.flyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05859998318382359934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071439.post-76449708039096850712008-12-17T22:33:00.002-09:002008-12-17T22:38:52.584-09:00*swoon*stephanie japel's therapi pattern in the new knitty.also in the new knitty is norah gaughan's surface. love the bobbly texture of this sweater.i miss knitting for me. that's gonna change. gotta cast on something even it's something as little as a headband.lady butta.flyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05859998318382359934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071439.post-76087054529996026012008-12-17T22:00:00.002-09:002008-12-17T22:18:04.819-09:00i've been making a dent in my bead stash lately.
