Friday was the 3/27 Alpha Battery Ball and let me just tell you, I was nowhere near being ready. No dress, no shoes, no hair style I wanted, no makeup, no backup plan, no nothing! mind you, I had known about this ball since maybe the 12th or 13th of July so I had plenty of time to get everything settled....BUT NO being me I waited until the very last minute, so here's how my Friday went down
Friday morning I had Sean wake me up as soon as he got home from PT because Heide and I were going to the mall to find me a dress, shoes, jewelry and makeup. So there I am laying in bed, dreaming about how sexy Kenny Chesney is (I wasn't really), next thing I know a giant man is jumping on the bed shouting
"WAKE UP BABE!"
"You wanted me to wake up right??" he's asking me this while still jumping all around the bed
To which I so kindly responded to with a "you motherfucker! Get off the damn bed!"
Needless to say my day did not start on the best note :0( but I did get up so his method worked :-D I get up, walk around the house for a little while and decided to sit on the sofa and pay some bills, until about 945-1000 when I texted Heide to see if she was up yet. Heide quickly replies and lets me know that as soon as I start heading over she will start to get ready so we can head out and hit the store for a little dress hunt. Once I got word I started to get ready and headed out.....
I get to Heide's (usually I just walk in) ring the doorbell, and wait on Heide to open. she greets me with a towel wrapped around her body and tells me she's pumping, this is when she forced me to watch little Chase hehe well not really forced, I really didn't mind Chase which is weird because I'm not really the first person people think of when they need someone to watch their baby. As I wait for Heide to be done (she took FOREVER) I had to feed, burp and rock Chase to keep him from completely freaking out on me. Finally she finished to we started to pack all the baby stuff we would need just in case in my car, gosh I did not know babies needed so much junk, we finally got on the road and on to the mall we were
8 minutes later we finally stepped foot at the mall, and the dress hunt began. We really only went to one store which turned out fine because that's where I found my dress. I went around the racks looking for some nice dresses, something not too dressy and not not dressy, and something that would compliment my great skin tone (lol) I picked around 10 dresses to try on. which now that I think about it was really a waste of my time to try them all on because the very first dress I put on I knew I was going to end up buying, that's just the way I am, always shave been when it comes down to dress shopping. Well I end up buying the very first dress I put on it was my favorite and Heide said it was very nice as well so it was a done deal. I check the tag and the damn thing was $128, but was down to $89.95 and down from that to $63.93 plus an extra 40% and no taxes, so in reality I only paid around 34 or maybe 38 dollars for it I can't remember now.
After finding the best dress ever we went to the shoe store to find some shoes to go with my dress and to go with Heide's dress too. She found the perfect little shoes, me not so much....I just gave up on shoes and decided I would wear w/e pair I had in my closet that mostly went with my new dress. We rushed back to the car and off to Walmart we went to find a few last minute things we couldn’t really find at the mall. Danny came and picked up Heide and Chase from Walmart so I could just go straight home shower and drive back to Heide’s to get ready.
Once I made it back to Heide’s I started with hair, I decided I wanted large curls very much like this:

But there was a problem as always, my hair does not hold curls very well so I knew I was going to have to blast it with hairspray for it to even hold for more than a couple of hours, so I did! After what seemed like forever (my arms were getting tired) I finally finished and I was off to get a little makeup done by Shawn-Marie and Heide. They tag teamed me with it; Shawn-Marie did my eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner. Heide did the foundation and she brushed my eyebrows w/e that’s about lol. Anyway by the time us girls were done, we were already running late by 20 or 30 minutes :0P
Well enough about the day here are some pictures of the night :o) enjoy!

Maybe you need to move up here mins, then we can just dress up for the heck of it...i'll curl your hair i'm a master curler now :)
Yeah that would be cool and maybe i can teach u about makeup and maybe u'll learn how to cook a thing or too. What do u think about that, want to become a suzie 2? lol
HAHA i might not know a damn thing about make up but i know how to cook, thank you very much! i just don't like the clean up that has to be done after cooking, if i could i would eat off of my hand just so i don't have to do dishes I HATE DISHES!
