Sorrrryyyy..(insert puppy eyes) + sad news...

I suck, i know. 
Ive been slacking BADLY on this whole blogging thing! Ive been either busy or lazy. One of the two has kept me from posting the past few days.


 But i did take pictures of the lil shopping i did last wknd! So a post on that will be coming up this week, promise!
I didnt do anything even worthy of its own post this weekend. 
Just a whole LOT of spring cleaning and organizing, that includes my closet, which is always tough, cuz i know i should part with more than a few things in there but never do! Ugh..anyone else like that? You say ohh, but what iffffff the week after i give it away i actually FINALLY end up needing just that..Which never happens of course, but im a nut, so wtvr...

And Sunday i actually got out for Church and pizza with a ton of friends, but then went back home to clean and organize some more. Bleh.

On Friday my close friend who also happens to be married to my cousin lost her baby 2 days before due date. Its been very hard on all of us, especially her father. Id say hes taking it the hardest. Its sooo very sad. She was due Sunday with her second daughter, but had gone to the hospital on Friday cuz her water broke, when she got there and they went to find the babies heartbeat they couldnt. She kept asking what was taking them so long, and they had tried to keep her calm by saying ohhh nothing, she just must be in a weird position where we just can quite hear her heartbeat, give us a few more minutes, but after another 20 minutes and seeing the panic on the staffs face, she knew something was wrong. They then told her theyr going to take an ultrasound, which just confirmed that something was very very wrong, she kept asking what was going on and they wouldnt tell her anything, after the ultrasound and everything, they had broke the news to her that she had lost her baby, 2 days before...and had she carried the baby another day or two, she wouldnt have made it herself, and that now she had to deliver this baby..She kept her eyes closed the entire delivery, just tears streaming down her face, over how she wasnt going to meet the angel she carried for 9 months, whose heartbeat she heard many times, who she felt moving inside her, who she sang to, whos nursery her husband slaved over for months trying to make it perfect for his lil girl, who had a little sister waiting for her at home, who she was excited and ready to love and hold any day now. My heart breaks for her...
The doctors said they rarely ever ever see this. A baby who dies for an unknown reason. They have no idea what went wrong. They offered to do an autopsy to try and see if it'll give them any idea, but my friend wanted her little baby to rest in peace, and refused to an autopsy. They are going to have a very small burial on Thursday. 
Its crazy, cuz I actually saw her the night before (Thursday night) and she was soooo very excited to meet her little girl! I asked if i could feel her tummy to maybe feel the baby move, and she said "I dont think your gonna feel anything, its weird, but shes been a very calm lil peanut the past 2 days! she must be resting knowing her big day is coming hahahah!". It makes me tear up knowing that neither one of us knew that night that she wasnt resting, but she had actually already gone to heaven...
I cannot believe it. The shock from hearing this made me depressed for a few days. We were all excited to meet her. They had also moved to a new bigger home for their second baby. She had quit her job to stay at home with her, and her other daughter. No body ever expected anything like this...
RIP sweet girl <3

Im sorry for the sad post, ya'll prob didnt wanna read all this, but i just wanted to share whats been going on lately...That was pretty much my weekend..

Lets pick this up to a lighter note cuz i dont wanna depress you all, Im so excited to be visiting The Mister next month! Its going to be our 1 year anniversary on May 3rd, and we're officially celebrating it on the weekend of the 20th!
Originally we were going to do a little weekend getaway to Carmel or Napa or something, but the poor mister ran into some financial bumps i.e. a $1,300 ticket! eeeeeks! So i said id just come visit him! This is going to be my first time visiting hiiiim, he always come here, and it'll be my frist time in Vegas too! Sooo very excited! :) I havent seen him 3 months!! And skype doesnt count! yikes!

1 year is big for me, and he knows it too! haha! We even celebrated our 6 months big! Cuz thats BIG to me! Let me tell you why..Anyone who knows me, knows i cant stay in a relationship. My longest before The Mister has been 3 months..ya, pathetic i know. Its cuz i get annoyed, am very independent, start to feel suffocated, annoyed, repuuuuulsed and simply bored with guys. Rather quickly. I like the chase, thats the hting with me, once i have them, i. do. not. want. em! Bleh! hahaha. And im a HUGE flirt! I cant help it, i really cant! Cuz i dont even realize i flirt! I dont think iiii flirt! But apparently i do. So this has been my dilemma with boys. Before the Mister that is. Lucky boy! :p haha.

Hmmm, what elsee..I actually finally started P90X yesterday! We're all very proud of me, It only took me 2 months. And im SOOO soar! Half an hour into the video i was ready to give up, heeving and puffing and so i did lol. I was starting to feel nauseous. Thats how pathetic i am..I dont know how i ever did P90X before, after 3 weeks i was barely breaking a sweat! Hmmm, i wanan be there again! Wish me luck laydayyys!

I should get to bed. Its 2:27am. Booo!
Have a great Tuesday!
XOXO Inna :)

Frame Wall


My frame wall is not complete, but i thought id show you my progress. I still need to add a few more. Most the frames ive got up there are more subtle and plain, so i have to run by my local TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Ross and by some more interesting ones to make the wall more unique. Im planning on buying some of this style :
I purchased all my current frames from Goodwill for dirt cheap. I think i paid less than $15 for all of them. 


I took out the backing, the glass, and spray painted them!


I laid them out on newspaper, and went to town!






After letting them sit to dry, i sanded them down just a lil, to give them an older rustic feel.
 Heres what ive got so far! I cant wait to finish!


Oh, also, i am gonna take out the glass from the botton long one! haha, dont worry :p




And thats my frame wall! Remember, im not finished with it, but hopefully soooon :D Ill keep you updated on my further progress. 

Happy Wednesday to you my pretty girls!

Monday...crappers.

Right?

Insert MAJOR sighhhhhhh here.

I dont wanna go to work. Not that my weekend was anything extraordinary. It was quite quiet actually!
Saturday i slept in. Went shopping for a few random things to tide me over until my next shopping trip for summer clothes in 2 months or so. Then i decided to take advantage of the FABULOUS 70 degree weather and went to the river/park with some family & friends, AND my loverbug!


Honestly, i live for this sweet boys kisses! THEY. JUST. KILL. ME! So stinkin sweet! Especially the ones he gives you himself! <3

His lil teeth are growing in! How adoooorable are they? is he?!



He is suchhhhhhh a loved little boy!



He is becoming such a big boy! Its crazy how fast hes growing! It makes me sad.. :/


hahaha!

We took a beautiful path to the park! Such an amazing walk! You could here the birds chirping, sooo very many butterflies, and it smelt divine! It makes you forget you live in suburbia!



This is someones actual backyard! Id die for a backyard like that! Can you imagine all the fun bbq's, picnics, the boys catch games, summer parties! This picture doesnt even do it justice, it was HUGE!


Ya...Im so ready for summer!
Saturday night we had friends come over for mexican, movies, and just hanging out.

Sunday consisted of church & lunch with a friend at Dos Coyotes, where i had a Salmon Burrito that im never gonna get again...She raved about it, so i gave it a shot..I will give them this tho, their burritos are HUGE! And the tortillas are soft! But the weird white sauce they mixed it with had me wondering with every single chew, what kind of ingredients it took to make such a funky sauce...Bad funky sauce.


And seeing lil man for a bit again. Seriously, i cant get enough of him! I could spend all my weekends with him, and id be a happy girl!
<3
I'll show you all my small purchases from the weekend later in the week, but for now, go check out these awesome ladies with great giveaways!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday ladies!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Mine consisted of baby showers, birthday parties, church, & friends!

Saturday was Megan's baby shower! It was sooo nice to see her! I missed her tons! She lives in Southern California with her husband who is in the Navy, so i dont get to see her much anymore :( boo hooo :'( But anyways, the baby shower was great! They had yummy drinks, and tasty finger foods like jalapeƱo poppers, stuffed mushrooms, cheesy bread, chips and dip, wraps, and etc..and she got tonnnnns of gifts! Im happy for her! I know having a baby is EXPENSIVE! My coworker, our mutual friend (Megan used to work with us) and I split a gift, which included tons of random stuff from her Target registry.


We ate, talked, played games (dont play the candy bar in the diaper game with deodorized diapers, it makes the sniffing tricky hahaha!) and opened gifts!


You guys, seriously, this girl is friggin lucky! She doesnt look like she gained any weight! shes 7 months pregnant and still as thin as she was before, except the obvious belly, and that is even small! She says she gained 20 lbs, so the baby must be coming out gigantic, cuz there is no way those lbs went any where other than her baby belly. Jealousssss! How can she be skinnier than i and shes pregnant! wtf? haha.

(Olesya, Megan, Me, and Tere) (You cant even tell she HASSS a belly!)
We are all coworkers, or at least used to be when Megan still lived here. Tere is a hoot! She is the sassiest 65 year old ive ever met. Shes got more attitude than your average 15 year old teeny bopper haha!

You can see what i wore Saturday here!

-------------------------------

After the baby shower i went straight to my extremely adorable nephews 1st birthday! 


How freakin ADORABLE is he with his cute little Curious George party hat?! gushhhhhhhh!

I knew he was getting to the age where he actually enjoys toys now, so i knew everyone would be buying him  tons! So i got him 2 cute spring/summer outfits that his momma would enjoy more than he, but hey, she deserves something too for creating that precious boy!


How cute are these outfits?! Ya, i know, CUTE!



I was sooooo right! After opening all his presents, he practically had a Toys R Us in there!



His party theme was Curious George! His momma made this cake herself, how amazing is it?


Which he ended up enjoying a lot! haha!
(These were taken with my cell phone, sorry for the poor quality)




Me and Christian. Honestly, i cant even tell you how much i love this little boy! Its crazy. I love him like my own!


He loves my gum. It always fascinates him! haha!


He is thee happiest, sweetest, cuddliest, cutest, playful, charming, loving baby ive ever met! His constant smiles MELT. MY. HEART.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY lovebug <3

Sunday i was POOPED! From the baby shower, straight to the birthday party, with all those kids, all that noise, i was exhausted! I went to church, came home to lunch with the fam, - daddy + sisters BF, and stayed in for the rest of the evening which was spent mostly swaddled in a blanket napping. 

Heres my Sunday Outfit :

(excuse my pantyhose, ha!)

Mossimo loose tank from Target
$6! L8ter cotton black & white striped bandage type skirt from Ross
Apostrophe black blazer style cardigan with lapels
Forever21 necklace
and i wore black Guess heels

In other news, i have been dyyyyyying for a vacation! I need to get away! Me and my friend Veronika, have been talking about saving to go island hopping in the Greek Isles end of this summer! I really hope this works out! Ive always wanted to go to Greece! After my car, im saving all my money towards this trip! :D


And the mister and i are still planning on going on vaca this summer too! Next time one of us visits, we're gonna plan it out!


Oh! Did ya'll hear the story about Ina Garten from Barefoot Contessa? Supposedly a 6 year old boy with cancer requested from the Make A Wish Foundation to cook something with her. I guess hes been watching
her in bed with his mom for years! And she said No! Why? Cuz shes too busy. Oh, and get this, she denied him twice! They asked her a year or 2 ago, and she said she was too busy with her new book, so the foundation told him he should probably pick something else, and the boy said no, hed just wait for her when shes less busy. So they asked her again this year, and she said it was a definite no. Like WTF?!
First off you brat, it is a PRIVILEGE this boy chose to use his one wish for anything he wanted, on you! How many 6 year olds wanna cook with some chef? Like none! Instead of choosing a trip to Disneyland, or something like that, the sick boy chose to cook with you!
Second, im gonna enjoy watching your rating plummet. ha! Didnt you think denying a 6 year old cancer patient a wish through? How bad does that look for you? Hahahaha.
Sorry, ranting here. Im just shocked at some people. 

Anyways, thank you God, its Friday!
Work has been so boring and so slow lately i dont know what to do with myself! Theres only so many things you can google on the web! So im ready for this week to be over. I dont have any major plans this weekend, other than a baby shower for my friend Megan on Saturday! My friend and i went shopping for the gift today! And the Target Registry sucks. Dont get me wrong, i love Target, and i love their baby stuff! But they need to figure out a better way for people to locate the stuff on the plain list they give you! Some kind of pictures or something!

What are your plans for the weekend? I hope they are more exciting than mine!

Dont forget! Grab my button! :D
and if you do, please let me know! So i can thank you :)

Have a great weekend my lovely followers!
I love you all!
No, seriously. I love your comments, and emailing back and forth!

xoxo Inna

ps. Dont forget to have the mister do the Boyfriend/Husband Tag! :)
