Oh my beloved Xanga. I think it's time to say Goodbye. 
Yes it is. There's NOTHING out there that has the great community vibe of Xanga. I was able to easily meet new people and make friends (espeically other moms) via the Blog Rings (Groups). Xanga wasn't able to advance, modernize... whatever you wanna call it. They stayed old school and a lot of people just left to blog elsewhere. Cmon' Xanga, your site is ugly... why couldn't you change your homepage and be cooler! SHESH! Like hire some professional web designers to create nice blog layouts so your ass wouldn't look so ghetto. Luckily, I knew how to make layouts. But for others, Xanga was way too ugly for new bloggers. People went elsewhere... Blogger, Tumblr... etc. You guys had a really good thing going on too. So sad to say Goodbye. Now I have to go save ALL my pics. I will miss you dearly, and if you guys ever get a lot better. I would love to come back. But for 2012, I'm elsewhere.

Anyway, so what's been going on? Me, I'm an emotional roller coaster... why? I'm just fuckin crazy. Army hasn't really done anything that should make me upset.. and yet, I'm just hatin on him every few days... maybe I feel insecure, maybe I feel unattractive due to the pregnancy... maybe I just think he's a FAKE...
It was a spur of the moment thing and I don't like how colorful it is. *sigh* Cost me $130 too. Kate Spade. 
T I can't wait to put it together with Army and set up the bedding and accessories. I'm so excited just thinking about it! And yes, we decided to not use the old crib... since it's old and scratched up, plus I'm not too fond of a white crib for a baby boy. We also decided to move Avani's bed from our bedroom and have the crib there instead. We I'm gonna go shower then browse for crib bedding on eBay. Anway, I still listen to a lot of Country music and I shall leave you with a video from one of my fav artists of all time, Carrie Underwood! This song and her performance of the song is so powerful and moving. It made me cry. :*( This one is from the CNN Heroes Tribute.
There's just too many awesome & priceless things about this holiday season.. I'm just gonna bullet things down that will probably not make any sense to most ppl, but I just wanted to jot things down so if I look back on this blog I'll recall those moments. And also I'm gonna post some of my favorite pictures. The rest of the photos are in the album on the right.
Anyway, we did like 3 or 4 more rest area stops before we got to Times Square at 8:30am. It was good timing, I initially thought we weren't going to get there until 10am because it was really foggy at times so Army had to drive slower. Not to mention he was fighting sleep. I was too sleepy to drive too... and Army's dad was knocked out in the backseat... he would've driven really slow anyway. The parade starts at 9:00am so we tried to find parking as close to the parade route as possible... we were hoping that we didn't have to park in a garage cuz that would be like $30+. But the streets were so packed and just when we were about to head to a garage, we found a parking spot. Yay! And it was only a block from the parade route. We put on some layers and winter gear, it was a beautiful 50 degrees out.. partly cloudy, NO RAIN! I 
When the parade ended at noon, we went to have a nice "family lunch" which was pretty much our Thanksgiving meal. It was the first time I ate Sole fish, which was "OK." the best part of my meal was actually the string beans... which were SO GOOD that the veggie-phobic hubby ate a bunch of em'. I must learn how to make those string beans, it was heavy on fried garlic.
After lunch, we headed to the ginormous Toys R Us as promised to the girls. It's the largest toys store in the U.S. It was extremely crowded that we kinda had to walk in baby steps almost shoulder-to-shoulder with other people. It was so hectic that they wouldn't even allow anyone on the elevators unless they were handicap or had a stroller. The Toys R Us employee who was manning the elevators was... crazed. While we were waiting to get in the elevator, he was yelling in someone's face, "You need to take the escalators! Would you jeopardize the safety of this child and the handicap! You need to take the escalators!"... and it just kept getting worst... he got into an argument with some old man too. Army & I was just looking at each other like, "OMG, will the elevator please hurry up." We had to go downstairs to get to the Ferris Wheel. We bought tickets but had to wait nearly 45 minutes until our time at 2:00pm. It was well worth it. A Ferris Wheel inside Toys R Us?! It was too cool. Our second time there though. You couldn't choose which cart you got to ride on... they had like My Little Pony (which Avani wanted), Scooby Doo, Jimmy Neutron, M&M, Toys Story, Monopoly... and a bunch of other themed ones. I didn't get to take a piture but I found one in a search. Army had promised Verabelle ice cream if she could guess which cart we would end up with. And she guessed right! It was the Little Tikes car. The second from the top in the pic. After the ride, we left the store... it was was way too crowded to do any shopping with the kids there. We had to go home right away because Cooper was home alone and Army had to get some sleep since he had to be at work at midnight for the Black Friday shopping. Well, that's all folks! And this year, I'm just so thankful for everything God has blessed me with.
