Licorice Induced Musings...

Seeing as it's 4 o'clock in the morning, it would more than likely be frowned upon, if I had some Smirnoff induced musings... or would those just be drunken ramblings? I don't know. What I -DO- know is this... Red Vines Rock at ANY hour. But I digress....

So a lot has happened since my post. A LOT. So much, in fact, that for a time, I actually forgot ABOUT my blog, entirely! It wasn't until I was cleaning up my favorite's list, that I saw the link and thought, "Omg, I should start blogging again! How crazy is that, right?"

As I said, a LOT has been going on. Up's and down's. Well, without getting into TOO much. Malcolm is doing amazing. He's talking. A lot. But only when it suits him. Or the mood hits... Usually when he wants more of something. Usually Milk. And cookies. Of course, Jace is following suit. Hey, it works for big brother, right??? But every little bit of progress, is just that. Progress. So, I'll take it.

That's not to say I won't expect a little more later on. But I take what he's willing to give, when he's willing to give it. It's a forward movement. It's not backwards. (Which we were doing a lot of, when he was medicated.) And it's not standing still. :)

We're making plans to move. Out of state. To Texas, actually. Can I put into words just how excited this makes me? Probably not. Because I'm pretty ****in' excited! (Yes, -I- edited that for all of you! ;P ) I just hope San Antonio can handle this Diva, because I have HUGE plans. To pretty much take over the city, and make it MINE. LOL! No one ever said my day dreams and goals were PRACTICAL. I just said they were big and fantastic.

The one thing I'm not really looking forward to though, is the loud, screaming, blatant, in-your-face absence of my Gram. While we'd been making our plans, and day dreaming of our new life in Texas, never once, did I include the scenario that she wouldn't be included. Did I honestly think she'd live to be 235 years old? Maybe. Probably. Okay. Yes. Yes I did. She didn't quite make it. She DID, however, make it to 90. Which is pretty amazing, in and of itself. She was definitely a fighter.And I REALLY REALLY miss her. 

On the other hand, I think she'd be REALLY excited, and downright giddy, and my new obsession with retro/rockabilly. Especially hair and makeup. Like I wasn't already obsessed with these two things, but I'm loving this whole new Rockabilly Diva thing!! LOL. Yes. It's the little things. I take them when I can. Because a lot of the time, I'm so caught up in the small, isolating world of "Autism Parenting", that I often shelve those things that make me smile. So. When I -DO- bring those things down, and dust them off, they bring me immense amounts of joy. Playing with hair products and make up, just happen to be near the top of my list of 'Happy Pleasures'.... Sue me. No wait. Don't. I have enough people trying to get money from me already. ;P

And of course, seeing as it's 4:30 in the morning now... and I'm carrying quite a nice Red Vines buzz, and sleep is probably not going to return any time soon, I will plug in my curling iron, and get to work on some new self proclaimed amazing new 'dos. (Yes, self proclaimed. I honestly don't give a flyin' fig if anyone else likes them. I do.) And yes... I'll post pictures when I'm done with my own little private makeover session. ;))

Until then..... Don't be a drag..... Just be a queen! (Another new obsession = Lady Gaga! ZOMG!)

It's THAT time of year again!

This Diva LOVES Pink!

I know, the title is a bit obvious. Right? Between the pink hair. My pink Facebook page, and all the pink I put EVERYWHERE, perhaps it's even a bit redundant. But.. I have a NEW Pink Love!!!!

Yup! You guessed it. As if there would be ANY strain on the imagination to come to this conclusion. I mean, seriously. It's skin care. And it's AMAZING skin care! The ONLY skin care company to earn the Good Housekeeping Seal! What does that mean for you? It means, that everything Mary Kay promises her TimeWise Miracle set will do, IT.WILL.DO!! And if, for some strange reason it doesn't, you can either exchange the product for something else, or get 100% of your money back! Guaranteed! Fabulous much??? I know!!

But also, they have this uber fabulous makeup line! And let me tell you, as someone who LOVES make up, I doubt I will EVER go back to experimenting with over the counter, mass production make up again. What do I mean by Mass Production Makeup? I mean, anything you buy at Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens. Not that they're BAD products, per'se, I have just found the ONE line, that does it ALL, as well as they say they do! No more mixing and matching to get that perfect look. And no more wasted compacts, because I've run out of one color faster than the rest. Yup, you know what I'm talking about. How super fab is that!?!? Sooo, if you want to try some Mary Kay, (and I know you do!), or if you've used Mary Kay before, and need a new consultant, I'm the girl for you! Pink hair and all!

Malcolm's almost as big a Diva, as his mother!

I'm pretty sure... Nothing else needs to be said. LOL!!!

A Long Awaited Moment...

Most parents take for granted those "I love you's" after hearing them day in and day out for months, or years. But what would you do, if for 3 years, you NEVER heard that phrases uttered? "I love you." "I love Mommy." or "I love Daddy." are often the first phrases we teach our children, and so often, they become the phrases parents most often take for granted.......

Hopefully, this will help you see. EVERY "I love you." is as important, and as precious as the first time it is uttered...

She's BACK!!

Yeah, I know. I've been less than diligent when it comes to updating. Life tends to take on a life of it's own, when you have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Crazy, huh?

And I don't have much to report (well, actually I do, but it would be a years worth of catch up, and I just don't feel like the typing it all out. :P ) so for now, I will just leave it at....

The Diva is Back!
And for your viewing pleasure.... One of many updates I plan to make with this particular blog.

I'm taking it to video!
