Me a Big Girl now

So I celebrated my bday this past week and did a lot of exciting big girl stuff. Even though I have officially celebrated my big girl bday years ago, I am just not living the big girl life. 

My girlfriends drove five hours to celebrate with me, we went to an outside concert and a July bday party on Thursday, drove two hours away on Friday to spend money at this new Casino is StL, cat napped at a hotel for four hours then went to the St. Louis Zoo Saturday afternoon, drove back two hours for a get together with my Phrat Brothers then had a big yummy breakfast Sunday morning before their departure Sunday evening. 

It was so fun and adult-like that I'm putting this years bday celebration on my top three list. I have been having way too much fun with my life so I have been neglecting my blog and I honestly did not want to write about my daily going-ons so I opted to wait for an important event to discuss. 

This was my first real experience at a Casino because the first time I went, I was smuggled in by my girlfriend's Mother in Wisconsin and was too scared to spend a dime. So this time I thought I would go all out but only ended up spending $6 because I did not understand the rules of the slot machines. Spending $6 at a Casino might be laughable to some but I had a blast watching one of my friends lose $30 and the other friend gain $30. 

I only wish we could take photos in the Casino because there would have been some funnies to document. First my girlfriend who won the $30 was going to cash out when she paused at the circular counter and asked if she had to go to the window corresponding to her last name. My other girlfriend and I were puzzled until we looked up at the letters above the window spatially spelling out the word Cashier. hahaha that "Baby" is such an air head. 

Then on our way to the restroom, this security guard ran up on us saying how happy she was to run into us because she needed to check someone's ID. I graciously obligated while she fumbled with her glasses, calling the location in when my two girlfriends asked if she could check any faster because they had to potty... that of course made her panic, fumble and slow down even more. As they were doing the pee pee dance I was laughing at how proud I was to be old enough to be getting carded in a Casino. 

So anyway, I have a few pics from this weekend that I would love to show, enjoy!

Torrance: I don't think I'll be at gambler anonymous quite yet seeing as how I only spent $6 but it's a possibility, lol.

Don: My friends were like watch the meat, watch the meat but I like it burnt too. I burnt some of the potatoes too because I like the burnt flavor. It's definitely an acquired taste.

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This...

No turning back now

This one friend of mine is in some deep shit. 1. He's in jail. 2. He's in jail because he was speeding on a stolen motorcycle. 3. His mother is a laywer and she is so pissed at him that she won't get him out. 4.5.6.7.8... 9. He is a pretty boy Kappa, which has turned him into a womanizer. But the number one reason why he is in some deep shit is because 10. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail, email and facebook. Ok let me break down that last sentence. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail , email and facebook . Isn't that against the player handbook? If you have a main girl that means you have other girls... so why? The passcode to your voicemail... the voicemail that all the girls are leaving messages on because they heard you were in jail. The passcode to your facebook... the place where you do ALL of your dirt. I mean come on, how stupid can one man be? His excuse was that he didn't have anything to hide from her and ...

A side of Baby Mama, hold the drama

Just a few years ago, I would cringe at the term "baby mama," Today, I embrace it. It is what it is and I am who I am.  You have to live your life and roll with the punches. I never thought I'd be a baby mama. I'm more of the wife, fiance, girlfriend type. Or so I thought. Life is just not the fairy tale you dream it to be when you are eight years old in your big cousin's tiara and your mother's high heels. I wish I could go back. I would say "self," my self would say "huh." And then I would lay it on thick... "Little Aerial, these boys only want one thing and one thing only. Your heart! So they can break it." Can I get an Amen? "Protect yourself little Aerial. Protect your cookies. Protect your heart. Or else be the best baby mama you can humanly be, like me." I love my baby. Love her to the death. Do you hear me? I am with her every single day! She needs for nothing. And once she start to talk, she wi...
