Foods I can not EAT! so many


Avoid the following:
-Swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tile fish. These fish can contain potentially risky levels of mercury. Mercury can be transferred to the growing fetus and cause serious health problems. Also avoid game fish until you check its safety with your local health department. (A game fish is any fish caught for sport, such as trout, salmon or bass.)
-Raw fish, especially shellfish (oysters, clams)
-Undercooked meat, poultry and seafood. Cook all of them thoroughly to kill bacteria.
-Do not eat hot dogs or luncheon meats. Examples are deli meats such as ham, turkey, salami and bologna. If you do eat these foods, reheat them until steaming hot.
-Refrigerated pates or meat spreads. Canned versions are safe.
-Refrigerated smoked seafood unless it has been cooked (as in a casserole). Canned versions are safe.
-Soft-scrambled eggs and all foods made with raw or lightly cooked eggs
-Soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk. Examples are Brie, feta, Camembert, Roquefort, blue-veined, queso blanco, queso fresco and Panela. Check the label to see what kind of milk was used to make the cheese.
-Unpasteurized milk and any foods made from it
-Unpasteurized juices
-Raw vegetable sprouts, including alfalfa, clover, radish and mung bean
-Herbal supplements and teas

OMG ok my doctor ran through this with me on my first doctor visit but I do not remember hearing about TEAS. OMG I collect different types of teas. I love TEA. I only drink decaf and I thought that I was being good. ahhhhhhhhh So that leaves me with only water and Apple Juice, since milk is starting to upset my stomach, as well as OJ and I never drank soda to begin with. And this list is scary enough to make me only eat rice anyway. Printing this list and keeping it in my purse just in case I have a question before I eat anything.

As soon as the baby is born I will be having a Maryland Style Crab Feast! Jr. get the crabs ready Tarsha, Derrick and I will be home this summer for my post crab feast baby shower. I know not your normal baby shower theme but hey I am not your normal girl.

Has video games taken over?


Both Skyla (unborn baby) and I are over the mall and traffic. Even though people are not spending as much money this year, they are still walking around the mall with their big strollers and crying babies. Guess I need to get use to the big strollers and the crying babies part. Being that I am broke I did not need to be in the mall long. 

Deven, My boyfriend's son is here.  Now this is an amazing kid. When he came in late at night I was sleeping, the next morning he knock on our door and just wanted to give me a hug since I was sleep when he came in.  I pray that my child has a heart like him.  

He is giving me a taste of what kids do now a days. I guess the days of looking at Christmas lights, talking to Santa, visiting people, are over. I remember when I was a kid I loved driving around looking at people's lit up houses, and if someone ever asked me if I wanted to go with them me and my little brother would fight to get out of the house no matter where we were going. Not now a ways. I have to pull him out of the house to go any where and promise that we will not be out long for him to want to go.  The Playstation, Xbox and Wii have taken over.

Do kids even know what Christmas means anymore? It is just me or are kids only worried about what gifts they are getting? Does anyone believe in Santa anymore?

Thanks Mom for making us go to church on Sundays it made a difference. 

I love Christmas time. The smell of the trees and the decorations. I can not wait to share this with my little girl. And keep the Christmas magic alive for her. I know her big brother Deven will show her the ropes I just hope not with video games.

4th Doc Appointment

(this is not my actual exam room pic)

On 12/19/08 was my 4th doctors appointment. It was the normal 30 minutes.

*Weigh In: 120! I weigh a huge 120 pounds. Which is A LOT for me. So it is very hard for me to except this weight gain.

*Then pee in a cup. To test to make sure that I am taking my vitamins and I guess, to make sure that i am not a drug addict

*Wait in the room starring at the wall reading about birth control which is about 15mins. (too late to be reading about that)

*My doctor comes in and asks, "How are you feeling?" my answer. "Fine"

*We listen to the baby's heart beat. She said, "Sounds Good"

*We schedule a visit for 4 weeks from now.

*I pay my co-pay of $30 bucks and $4 dollars for parking.

*I leave.

Wow I am in the wrong business. She saw 3 other girls within the same time. Stay turned for another belly pic. No stretch marks yet! Yesssss!

No more Tampons...Hello Toilet Paper!



Since I am pregnant I figured at least I am going to save money on buying tampons. Well something replaced the tampon. TOILET PAPER. I pee so much. I think my water bill is going to go up because I am in the bathroom so much. And trust me there is no holding it until you get up in the morning, you would straight pee on yourself. However, I am very happy that I found a comfy way to sleep...just took about 8 pillows and pushing Maurice to just a little corner of the bed.


Happy Friday. See you guys on Monday! Big Weekend for me. Birthday Parties, Ugly Sweater Party, Community Service, Getting our xmas tree, American Apparel Shopping with my sis, Target for more TOILET PAPER and a Pot Luck with the Mocha Moms.....wow! Not your average lazy pregnant girl.

My Priest prayed over me and my baby!



Went I went how my mom set up a time so I can go and talk with my priest since I have been so nervous about having this baby. It was the best experience ever. My mom and my priest prayed over me blessing me and the baby. Then he gave me holy water, hold salt and holy oil to rub on my stomach. He also gave me a statue of the pregnant virgin Mary to look at every day to remember I am not alone.

I felt the baby move!

I felt the baby move for the first time on 12/6/08 it was not a big feeling or anything. But hanging around so many pregnant women I was so mad that everyone has felt their baby and I had not felt mine. Even Maurice felt the baby move when I was sleeping. So on saturday after I got out of the shower I was talking to her and asked her to please move and I pushed my stomach a little and she moved. It was like a little flutter but I felt something at least finally.  

  

When it is ok to touch my tummy!


I know every one thinks it is so weird for me to be pregnant and have a belly. Trust me it is even weirder for me. I love when friends want to ask questions and touch my belly however there are some rules everyone needs to follow.

*If I am wearing a white, cream or light colored shirt DON'T put your dirty hands on me. It leaves me with hand prints and dark marks. It is not cute when a pregnant girl looks dirty.

*If you DON'T know me then DON'T touch me. Sorry but it is weird.

*DON'T poke at my stomach, not unless you want me to hit you in the face. She does not like to be poked at.

*DO NOT try to lift up my shirt to see my stomach. That is how I got pregnant in the first place.

*Telling me I'm fat is not a good thing. Im pregnant not fat. Don't know many fat girls that wear a size 1 maternity jeans.

*If you never had a child then don't try to push your views on me. I love advise but there is a difference in giving advice and trying to push your views on me. I am stressed enough.

Ok I know the last two had nothing to do with rubbing my belly but I just had to say it. I felt that this blog topic needed to be talked about because so many of my pregnant friends feel the same way and we don't want to be mean because we love when friends care and touch our bellies but if ya girl got on white don't even think about it.

More baby talk to come!

Thank you for all the love and support I have been receiving.

Recap!



Ok I know I have been M.I.A. But with traveling back from Maryland and shooting things have been crazy. However I will fill ya in on what has been happening.

TRIP HOME
My trip home was amazing. Everyone treated me like I was going to break. My mother woke me up in the morning and asked if I needed to use the bathroom, my little brother would not let me go to the big mall with him because he said it was too big for me to walk and my sister wanted to talk about how sex was....gross. I had a chance to get my hair done, after going through real life scenes of "The Wire" to find the hair, I sat getting my hair done listening to a customer talk about how she was a vegetarian and only eats chicken and turkey...no meat. lol gotta love dumb people. The plane ride back to la was rough me and the baby didnt like that at all.
New Hair!

SHOOTING
Thanks to a friend and a blog reader I am currently working on a reality show. However, that is all I can say about it right now, but trust you will be notified when it starts to air.

2nd LEVEL ULTRASOUND

I went and got a 2nd level ultrasound on Dec 4. The doctor put me on aspirin because he is afraid that I will have high blood pressure after I deliver because of how the baby heart is beating. So weird how the baby can make me have high blood pressure after she come out. Other then that everything is fine.

ME
I am very stressed and I know it is not good for the baby so I have been trying to do things to make me feel good. Think I am going to get a christmas tree soon...I guess. I don't even feel like christmas is close. So much on my mind. My friend is looking at schools for her kids and they are not even walking yet. Private schools are like 20-30,000. WHAT! and you have to be interviewed. ahhhhhhh

Happy Thanksgiving!


I would like to deeply THANK all of my family and friends for all of your love and support during this pregnancy. It has had it tough days for me and I still have lots to go but I am sooo gratefully for everything.

Mom, Derrick, Tarsha, Jr and T you already know why I am thanking you. I am very blessed to have you guys in my life.

Maurice, through everything that we go through I love you so much and I am proud to carry your baby...our baby. And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

Please take time out to realize what you have and thank God for all of your blessings.

I love you all! now let's EAT!

P.S. Chris and Derrick, I can not believe I am not there. This is the first Thanksgiving dinner in 5 years that I have missed. Feels weird because you guys are my family there and even though I am with my family I really miss being with you guys. Omg I am crying. ahhhhh hormones. lol

My First Full Day in Maryland. And 2nd Tummy Pic.




You all should get a big laugh out of my day.  As I lay in my room that I grew up in (room is now my little niece's, but she sleeps with my mom when I come home) a night of computer games and tv re-runs and my butt finally went to sleep at 2am east coast time. I was then awaken at 7am by my mother turning all the lights on in my room asking me if I need to go to the bathroom. I laugh and tell her that I am ok. (I actually had to go lol) Then an hour later my niece comes in to wake me up to see Beyonce on tv, turning my tv on very loud.

Ok this was suppose to be my relaxing get away. I dose off back to sleep for about 30 mins then the house phone rings...it's my other niece asking me if I am up yet.  Go back to sleep for about 20 mins then the door bell rings. Not a normal doorbell it sings songs...different songs with every push. I get up to see my little brother asking me where my mom was...ahhhh omg you know she is working. 

I lay down again. Then my little brother remembers he has a key and comes back in the house. There is an alarm on the door that talks every time you open it. ahhhhhhhhhh Ok ok ok ok I am up!

I ask my brother if I can go to the mall with him, he tells me that it is a big mall and mom said that I should not be walking too much since I am pregnant. ahhhhhh I am going crazy. 

I finally get out of the house to go to dinner. My sister was driving 35 miles and hour. I asked why we were going so slow and she was like you are pregnant I can't drive fast. 

This is just day one. Ill keep you posted. 


Below is my updated tummy picture. I am 18 weeks. I cut off my head cause I looked a mess. lol

I'm in Baltimore Maryland!



Hello everyone. Sorry I have not been writing but things have been crazy. I will do a quick to recap. Thanks to long time friend and baby take 1 blog reader Darrel I have been in numerous interviews for a new tv show coming out about hip women having a baby. Things look good. I will keep ya posted.

I got a scary call from my doctor saying that a test does not look good. However, this new test is known for being wrong. So I have to go and talk to the doctor when I get back. We have faith that everything is ok. So please keep us in your prayers.

I arrived to Baltimore today and the most memorial part of my flight was seeing all of the Men and Women coming home from Iraq. Their were hugs and tears it was a beautiful moment.  A funny moment that happened on the plane.  As the plane was taxing a little girl across the row was looking at me and smiling. I smiled and waved back...then I realized we were dressed exactly alike from head to toe. Me and a 6 year old. We both had on Juicy Purple sweat suits with Uggs. As she left she waved and said, "By twin, have a Happy Thanksgiving." Too Cute!

I was met at the airport by my mom, my niece, and my brother. And off to the buffet we headed. They all laughed at the fact that I had a little belly. To me it is huge. I will post a picture tomorrow. After we ate then back to the house in time for me to watch. "The REAL ATL Housewives." I can't believe I admitted to watching trash TV. I hate Kim and Sheray. 


Talk to ya soon. I promise this time.

The Fires!




Hello everyone sorry I have been away from my blog duties. However, I don't want to write about anything boring just to write it. So I will let you know what has been going on here in the valley of Los Angeles. There are FIRES! I am sure you heard but unless you see it for yourself you have no clue. I could see the fires from my balcony. Don't worry I am not that close. I have a mountain view from my place and that is one of the areas where the fires were. I tried to take a pic for you guys but it was so much smoke.

All of LA smells like a fire place. You have to cover your mouth and nose to walk to your car. I made the mistake of leaving windows open on day and came home to ashes all over the furnture and my cat. My pretty white cat was now gray. The fires are almost over, however the ones near me are completely put out. Might be heading to the car wash today my car is covered in ash.

Naming our baby....


Naming a baby is hard to a lot of people however, I have known since I was a senior in college what name I wanted if I had a little girl. I was in a play which it is killing me that I can not remember the name. (I am going to email my theater professor and ask him) It was an African play and my character was name Scalla (pronounced Skyla) The character in the play was a witch....a good witch who saw good in people and in people's future. I loved the character so much that is way our baby girl will be named.


"Skyla Marie Manning-Lung"


Marie is Maurice's mother's middle name. And when my butt get married to Maurice I will change her last name to just Lung but as of now the - stays. I refuse to have my baby's last name different from mine.

Thursday, November 13, 2008

I wonder if I am having a girl or a boy? Well....


Hello everyone I know I have not been writing every day but things have been pretty crazy in my life. But I am very very very happy to announce that Maurice and I went to have a 4D sonogram done so we can get early detection of the sex of our child.  

I am only 16 weeks and the baby is already dancing inside of me. A lot of movement to be sooo young. We counted all her fingers and toes (she has all 10 of them if you are wondering) and listened to her strong heart beat. She had her hands up to her face and her legs crossed at the ankles. (an AKA in the making)

Ok the picture you are looking at looks a little weird because it is in 4D so my kid looks a little alien like but I assure you that she will be a pretty as me. lol

I need HELP on what to eat!


Ok since this whole pregnancy thing I had to cut out my seafood. Not realizing that I live off of Tuna, Salmon and Crab. (for those of you that don't understand why I can not eat seafood is it because of the mercury level in the food...bad for the baby).  

I am sure you are saying then eat something else. I do not have any desire to eat too much of anything. My taste buds are on super power. I can eat a sandwich and taste every piece of basil or garlic in the sauce. It is driving me crazy. I taste more herbs then I taste food. This is why finding something to eat is so hard.  

My normal day consists of :
BREAKFAST:
Heart to Heart Cereal with fresh strawberries and blueberries or Oatmeal with the same fruit. Some times I also add one of Trader Joe's Chicken Sausages. (Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day)

LUNCH:
This is a hard one, depends on when I eat breakfast. Sometimes this gets skipped. But I will make a sandwich with some of Trader Joe's Hummas and Honey Pretzels. Or a quesadilla However I can't use all of my fun cheese because certain cheese are on my bad for the baby list. And how many days do you really wanna eat a sandwich. And salads are getting gross because the dressings taste so strong now, because I have bionitc take buds. ahhhhhh

DINNER:
This one is really hard because by now I am grossed out by everything in my frig or I have spent hours at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods walking in circles not wanting to cook anything that they have. The only thing that I seem to stomach to plain pasta and butter with simple salt and pepper. However again not something you want to eat all the time. Oh and I think my baby is a vegetarian because a lot of meats taste weird especially chicken. 

SNACKS:
I love this one. I eat lots of trail mix, smoothies, blueberries, soy beans, pomegranates, oranges, strawberries, bananas and grapes. Oh and my pregnancy snack is restaurant chips and salsa. I can not get enough.

If you have any ideas of good recipes please let me know. And don't think to weird (bianca) lol I like to eat my food not to acquire a taste to it.

How am I doing?

A lot of my friends have been calling me and asking how am I doing? Well things are so so. I am usually so happy but I am just blah lately. I was told that this was normal but....ahhhhh I don't like this feeling. Other then how I am feeling mentally everything else around me is going well. I just signed with a big pregnant models agency, I worked on the tv show HOUSE on Halloween, the day after Halloween I have a dance job at a Halloween Party and have been out hanging out with friends. Here are some pictures of all of those events.

No on Prop 8 Rally!

On Wednesday Nov 5 the day after our amazing election, some things were not found to be so happy here in Los Angeles. Proposition 8 was a California State ballot proposition that would amend the state Constitution, to limit marriage to unions between a man and a woman, overturning a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right.

I am strongly against Prop 8. I believe that everyone should have the same rights. I went to a powerful rally in West Hollywood with my closest friends to rally against this horrible prop. There were thousands of people at the rally. Gay, straight, young and old we talked about what our next steps should be. People told there love stories and people cried at the fact that they were being victims of hate (h8) by their own state.

Below are pictures taken at the rally. More rallies are going on daily and plan of appealing is in the works.

November 4, 2008 History was Made


As I woke up in the morning my stomach had butterflies. Not from being pregnant, from preparing to head to the polls. I grabbed my voter guide and anxiously got in my car. I did not turn on the radio, I drove in silence. I took in everything around me. 

As I was getting closer to my polling place I my eyes began to swell with tears. I vote in every election big or small but this one meant a lot to me. This is the first time I was in the streets signing up voters, at official Obama rallies and sending out emails. It was time for a change and I was apart of making that happen. 

So as I walked to the school and past by smiling and crying faces I felt that this is it; either change or no change. Today we can make history.

After a short 45 minute wait I cast my vote and say a prayer. I walked out of there with my head held high, tears in my eyes and my "I voted" sticker on my shirt.

I come home and glue myself to the tv. Maurice and I watch for hours, as Obama was taking over states that we were not excepting him to win. We grabbed hands and kissed each other and said wow we have just watched history in the making.

The Obama supporters of all kind pulling together to make a change. If you look at McCain's supporters you will only see one kind of people. And America is not one kind of people.

Ok enough tears it is time to make a "Change" but he can not do it alone! History was made today. Dr. King Jr would be proud. The United States is the most powerful country in the world and now we have a STRONG black man as the most powerful person in the world. All things are possible. 

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Go VOTE Now!



Today is election day in California and if you have some sense and you care about your life and future you will be at the polls today. Since this is my blog, I am going campaign for Obama! 

We need change. And I know you are as tired as I am of looking at Mc Cain's little arms and hearing the awful Sarah Palin talk. Like one of my friends described it as they are the real life "Office" true but sad.

Also VOTE NO on prop 8. People are people and everyone should have the same rights black, white, gay or straight. 


Other props I have researched:
1A Safe Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond: YES
2 Standards for Confining Farm Animals: YES
3 Children's Hospital Bond Act: YES
4 Waiting period and parental notification before termination of minors pregnancy: NO
5 Nonviolent Drug Offenses Sentencing Parole and Rehabilitation: YES
6 Police and Law Enforcement Funding: NO
7 Renewable energy generation: NO
8 Eliminates right of same-sex couples to marry: NO
9 Criminal Justice System. Victims' rights Parole Initiative: NO
10 Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Renewable Energy Bonds: YES
11 Redistricting. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute: NO
12 Veteran' Bond Act of 2008: (still undecided)
R Traffic Relief. Rail Extensions. Reduce Foreign Oil: YES
J Local Community College Classroom Repair, Public Safety, Nursing and Job Training: YES
Q Safe, Healthy Neighborhood School Measure: YES
A City of LA Special Gang and Youth Violence Prevention, After-School and Job Training:YES
B Update of Low Rent Housing Authorization: (still undecided)

I heard back from my agent and I got a gig!


I got an email from my agent and she was soooo happy to hear that I was pregnant. She said she knows print and commercial agents that I can audition for. But before she brought up auditioning she asked how I was doing and told me that I am like family and she is there for me every step of the way. So that made me free very good.

Oh and I am saying NO to CPK....as of now lol. I got a call from my Japan connection and they would like to hire me back to teach there next super star. That is in January and Febuaray. I did not tell them that I am pregnant. I dont want to loose the gig. And they know me for my big sweat shirts so I am all good. They come to me, so no worries I don't have to fly to Japan. And I have an interview for a tv show coming up so keep your fingers crossed.

Happy Halloween!


I have no clue if I am going to dress up or not. I don't even know what I am going to do. I know I will be with my best friends Derrick and Adrienne but other then that I don't know what we will be doing. 

Everyone that lives in LA goes to the big street party ever in WEST HOLLYWOOD. But when I say it is soooo many people. It is like rush hour traffic with people. You can barely walk however the costumes are amazing.  There are food vendors and the bars are packed.  People go all out. I am sure there will be a lot of costumes geared towards the election so that would be interesting to see. 

Ill keep you posted on what costume I decide to pick if any.

The 405 made me eat SPRINKLES...yum!


If you don't live in LA then you might not know what the 405 is or what Sprinkles is. Well the 405 is the awful freeway that is always backed up. And I not talking the normal rush hour type of traffic. I mean you can get on this stupid freeway at anytime of the day or night and there is always traffic. 

So I took a detour so I would not have to sit and stare at tail lights for the next two hours for a 20 minute trip.  I took little Santa Monica which happens to run next to big Santa Monica. (i know weird) Anyway, as I was stopped at a stop light I look over to my left and see the brown store front with the pink ironing..."Sprinkles!" "Sprinkles" has the tastiest cupcakes you will ever eat...and probably the most expensive at $3.25 each. They come in the cutest little brown boxes too.

They were made famous by Oprah. Barbra Streisand sent Oprah a box of cupcakes and Oprah loved them so much she mentioned them on her show. (ya know everything she mentions on her show turns to gold) Not only do their cupcakes taste great they have fun flavors like red velvet, orange, lemon, cinnamon sugar, milk chocolate and chocolate marshmallow to name a few.  My favorite is the vanilla.

I told my self if there is parking close then I will get one. This is the heart of Beverly Hills shopping so I knew there would not be a space. But the parking Gods were on my side just as I was going to pull away a spot opened up directly across from Sprinkles. Now I could not resist.  I waited in the long line (yes there is always a line) and got my vanilla cupcake and a large cold milk.  I sat outside the store and enjoyed every bite!


Go to www.sprinklescupcakes.com to see flavors and locations near you! You will not be sorry...I promise.

Should I go back to CPK?


Ahhhh ok I am bored to death. I am use to working all the time or at least audition  3 days a week or in meetings or something.  This past weekend was the last weekend of production work that I had lined up. The shoot was great but it is over. So now what?  It is about to be hiatus so that means no acting gigs or no production gigs. Oh and remember I am pregnant so that limits my dance gigs. I don't think Chris Brown would want a pregnant backup dancer.  

I have been home for 3 days and I am going crazy. So I was like I will get a seasonal job. So I go to the mall and look at baby stores. Might as well get a job where I can get a discount on baby stuff. I walked in a few stores and I could not bring myself to ask for an app. Either the workers were only speaking in spanish, they were kids texting or they were grandma's age. 

I call my boyfriend in frustration and he tells me I don't have to work and why am I stressing myself.  What! Not work that is not in my nature. I will go crazy. A house wive is not in the cards for me. So if he does not want me to kill him or pick at everything that he does I think he should want me to work somewhere. 

So as I leave, I stopped into CPK to grab me a salad togo. And I thought. CPK? If you don't know I worked at CPK for 4 years, I only left 1 year ago.  In my head im like "NOOOOO! Are you crazy" but then again TIPS are nice. I would make the same hourly as any other store however, I would be making TIPS. But who wants to be the pregnant 30 year old  AHHHHHHH Ill keep you posted on my decision.

Audition....telling my Agent I am pregnant! ahhh


Friday I had an audition for a Mc Donald's commercial. The audition was weird. Had to walk weird and play with fake nuggets. You had to be there. lol So since I was in the neighborhood I decided to stop by my agents to say hello and see the new office. 

I have been with my agency since they opened 5 years ago. I love my agents and trust them completely with my career choices. However, I could not tell her on friday; there was so much going on in the office. Clients coming in to say hi, new clients signing up, and not to mention everyone's desk is in head hustling distance. So I chickened out and sent her an email. Everyone said I told them too soon but I would rather them know now why I can't take a world tour or do a swimsuit ad. And plus they might can find me pregnancy work.  I have not heard back from the email so I am a little nervous. I'll keep ya posted.

Daddy, AIDS Walk and Universal Horror Night





Ok this crazy weekend story is almost over. So Sunday Oct 19 is a tough day for me. It marked the 3 year anniversary of my father passing away. It is really tough since I am pregnant and my boyfriend and I are talking about wedding plans and my daddy will not be there...physically. I am a total Daddy's Girl so i took his death very hard. Mainly because I know that my best friend Mommy will now be alone. She is handling it better then I thought she is super strong and I want to be just like her and have a relationship just like theirs.


AIDS WALK
I am known for doing many walks for charity. My sorority along with the NPHC particpated in the AIDS walks LA. It was long and my feet hurt so bad but that day of pain was worth it for the cause. I raised $450 dollars for the charity. As a group we raised close to 2 grand.

UNIVERSAL HORROR NIGHT
Ok the last thing of the weekend. After taking a nap from the AIDS walk my boyfriend and I and a bunch of friends decide to go to Universal Horror Nights. My feet are still hurting and I am sick. Yes I know I am pregnant and I should not be pushing myself but I really wanted to go and I had already paid for the tickets. It was so not scary. My boyfriend and I realized that we just might be too old for Haunted Houses because nothing scared us or we have only been to really bad Halloween events. We left after only one maze, the (non) scary studio tour and the Simpsons Ride which was really good. The best part was the really big donut I brought in the Simpsons part of the park.  We came home and was sleep by 11:30pm. lol

Fried Chicken, Voter Reg, Peach Cobbler, Go Go Dancing!



Saturday Oct 18 was the beginning of a crazy weekend. I got up in the morning still stick with a cold but dragged my butt out of bed and went to the Taste of Soul on Crenshaw with my friend Terrisha. The reason why I really wanted to go is because I committed to helping my sorority get people to register to vote. That was a success. It felt good to register so many people. However, I could not believe that so many people never voted before and sadly so many people said, "Im not voting it does not count." And those stupid people were rocking Obama t-shirts and hats. ARE YOU SERIOUS!

After we were finished with registration we had to "TASTE some SOUL" We sampled lots of food and I wanted an old school chicken box. Basic fried chicken wings and fries. And it was disgusting. The chicken was too salty and the fries were not done. And it was $10. So being cheap I was not buying anything else. I got me a peach cobbler to go and decided it was time to go home for a nap before I had to go go dance.

Now it is Go Go time. So since there is no more 6 pack I had to figure out a way to cover my puggy tummy. CORSETS! Not only do they cover my stomach it is super sexy. And since I have gone up 2 cup sizes more attention was on my breast then my stomach anyway. When I get off of stage I over heard two girls talking about how they figured my breast were fake. hahahah if they only knew.
