Happy 21'st Twin!

I know no matter how old I get I will never be old enough in the eyes of my parents, especially my mother. Like I briefly mentioned in my last post I was packing for my trip to Florida and had to do last minute packing. This was definitely not a last minute trip but I knew if I packed my bags myself she would only repack it her way. So I figured I might as well wait so WE could pack MY suitcase together. I swear when I'm 30 she's still going to be telling me to look both ways before crossing the street. My mom is one of those women who were destined to be a mom. She's so motherly lol. Anyhow, so I went to Florida to celebrate my twins 21st birthday. I was extremely excited because I haven't seen her in years, literally. So after a tearful journey (I hate planes) I made it to Florida, where my darling Kia came to pick me up. I arrived pretty late Wednesday night so when we got to her house, it was straight to bed. Only of course being the night person that is myself, I couldn’t sleep. So if I’m up, who has to be up with me? My twin, duh! So we pretty much chatted all night, and had to wake up early the next morning. But it was great to actually be able to talk in person for once. Anyhow, the next day was fun filled with events. Kia toured me around and I had a wickedly awesome time! Her birthday was Friday, and I was super excited for her. She was turning 21, it still seems somewhat surreal to me. I feel blessed to have watched her grow into the beautiful young woman that she is today. I’m grateful to have been present though the many transition periods. Yes, I am fully aware that I sound like a mom, just bare with me. Anyhoo, she decided to bring in her 21’st birthday with her family and close friends by having an intimate dinner party. So during the day on Friday, it was all about preparing for the night. Her mom and dad tried their best to cater to her needs and they did a spectacular job. By the time the food was fully prepared it was time to hit the shower and prepare for the nights festivities. And so everything began, and it was wonderful! The dinner was filled with jokes and laughs. We ate a delicious meal that consisted of: shrimp linguini, fried chicken, double stuffed baked potatoes, curry chicken, rice, macaroni pie, etc *rubs belly thinking about it.* I think her dad was right, he should have his own cooking show. I would definitely tune in. And of course my favorite part was digging into the Oreo cookie and cream birthday cake. Yummy!  Here are a few snaps of the night:

And beauty was her name, ahem my beautiful twin Kia

I'm Back! ^_^

Okay, okay I know I haven’t posted anything in what feels like years and for that I sincerely apologize. I don’t know, I can’t write unless I feel inspired and lately I’ve been lacking inspiration. I’ve literally sat in front of my computer, hands on keyboard and…NOTHING. I couldn’t bring myself to write anything. I’m forcing myself to write something now, hoping that it will somehow break the spell I’ve been in. Anyhow, a whole lot has been going on in my life. The new school semester has officially begun and it’s going to be tough. I already feel the pressure. I am kind of nervous, but praying on a positive outcome. But besides that, umm let me see…oh yes! So a few weeks ago my job asked me to be the representative for the company I work for, for a modeling casting. I was extremely flattered and thrilled that they asked me, out of thousands of employees for the job. No, I was not modeling. I was sort of like a secretary, signing in the models and directing them where to go for the go-see. Now these were models from Ford, Muse, Wilhelmina, New York Models, Fusion agencies just to name a few. And let me say, these models were nothing short of STUNNING! They looked as if they stepped straight out of a catalog. In fact, most of them I recognized from runways and catalogs. These ladies were a tall glass of champagne, legs for days! I use to be like, “what’s the hype with celebrities dating models?” Now I get it. It wasn’t just their looks, they were so flipping cool. I was in total awe. They were extremely nice and chatty. I love that. I felt as if I knew some of them for years! I use to think models were obnoxious and stuck up. But as one of the models told me, some are but for the most part they are just cool regular folks. Meeting them gave me even more of an incentive to be a success. It just felt right being amongst them, like this is where I need to be. Oh and did I mentions that the male models were like walking sex Gods? Because they were! BTW, from my experience male models are EXTREMELY flirty ;). In short for the two days of the casting I was on cloud nine! I do remember a lot of the models names, especially those who left a lasting impression but I believe it would be distasteful to start dropping names as if we are friends. So I opt not to reveal their identities. It makes my heart smile every time I think about it. I will never forget how I felt that very first day. Moments like those make all the hard work feel worth it. Oh my, my look at the time its almost one o’clock and I haven’t packed a thing. I’m leaving for Florida tomorrow and my suitcase isn’t even packed. Yikes! Have a beautiful day my darlings! XoXXoXXo
