Let's Get This... New Year Started Right!

Happy 2012!!! I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's celebrating... now, it's time to get back into the grind of things. Work, school, life... it's all back in action. How exciting, right? YES it is! I have to say, I am super excited to see what 2012 has to offer. I came into 2012 surrounded by alot of my absolutely favorite folk! I just hope it sets the tone for the rest of the year. My impromptu party at the house went off without a hitch (I knew I would pull it together, I always do!) There will be a few pictures later... but I just had a good time with alot of good people (although a few were missing). Even though they couldn't make it out, I made sure to spend the 1st day of the new year with my Jules and Chelita at some point... yay me! I could not have asked for a better way to end 2011 and start 2012. I really do hope you all had a safe, good time. In other news...


I have been doing well with my working out (yay me again)... I worked out the last 3 out of 4 days and I plan to be right on that treadmill when I got home from work today! I am proud of me and I want to thank you guys for being my accountability partners. I've had a few folk text me checking up on me... thank you very much for that! It takes a village to... lose 30 lbs, ha! But thank you for your care and concern. I am feeling uber positive about this, I AM GOING to be a hot bride!! I am not going to leave any room for doubt, failure is NOT an option! (although... wait, NO doubt). But of course, realistically... (this is just my internal battle, bear with me). As you can see, I am struggling trying to remain confident in my ability. I can do this! :)

I've been rocking my natural since last week sometime. After I washed it and ignored it, I have not straightened it. It is definetly much more work to maintain this natural hairdo, but it is more than worth it. It is allowing me to sweat without too much damage to the style, which is imperative to working out like I need to. It's all for the best! I gotta do what I gotta do... it's serious! Glad I figured out how to get my skinny on and still look fab! I didn't want to have to compromise either one. Working it out... literally!


What else? Uhhh... reminder, book club for The Hunger Games will be held on January 14, 2012. If you're interested in joining us, there is still plenty of time to read the book (it is AWESOME!). What better way to start the new year than with a great book?! Hopefully some of you resolved to read more in 2012 and would like to join a book club, if so... just send me a message or feel free to email me at tamikeys@yahoo.com (shameless plug). I'd like to think we have a good time discussing the book and a plethora of other topics that come up, don't miss out!
I need to start looking into the next book for book club, so if you have any suggestions or recommendations please let me know!


I am just excited about everything right now! I feel like I am on cloud 1000, haha! It's only day 3 of 2012, but... I am loving it so far! I pray you all have a prosperous year, month, week, day... let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, tomorrow is not promised. Make today count!




That's my (first of 2012) peace!!!


Love, Tam
