October .... how I loved you. Last month was by far the best month I've had in a really long time. I finally took the advice of a friend of mine Darnell (@DarnellEnrique) to take the time to do things for myself for once. Well, shouts to you D, because I took full advantage of it and I'm so thankful for that conversation we had about it.
What a better way to start of the month than a birthday party for one of my favorite girls ever Sophia. shouts to Shannon (@shannon__nicole) & Eric (@molemurda86) for making the cutest daughter ever! I love this little girl as if she were mine. She turned 3 on October 3rd! I can remember when Shannon first told me she was pregnant at one of our girl lunches we used to have at Papa Joes every couple of weeks. Her birthday was princess themed and let me tell you that theme fits her so perfectly. She cleaned up with presents! I decided along with my gift at her birthday party I'd take her to go get her toes painted. Little kids will play with a toy for a day or two and I wanted to do something with her that hopefully she'd remember. Love you baby angel face.
A few days after Sophia's birthday was my PB's (@THErealSKRIBE) birthday at Lux. I had to go and show my love for him out there to celebrate him getting extra old :)
My brother's senior year; Talk about feeling old. That means I've been out of high school for 5 years. Yikes! I graduated half a year early my senior year, so I didn't get the opportunity to join in on all of the Senior activities such as Senior day. My Little big brother decided he was going to tell me 2 days before his Senior day that he needed me to make him a Senior crown and shirt. Being an art nerd of course I jumped on it and made him the BEST Senior crown to walk on Deland high campus, literally ... he won!
Random nights .... are the BEST EVER!! I love not having set plans and just going with the flow. The girls and I decided we would get together and get dinner at Bone Fish and then head out to where the night took us. Well the night took us to VIP in Dragon room. That night was one of the best "going out" nights ... or maybe it was all the Sugar Free Red Bull I drank :) It was nice to be with a group of girls for once since my friend base is 95% males. Cheers to more nights like this
Stand and cheer because basketball season is here!!! Finally! Don't get me wrong I love all sports but basketball is my favorite. Of course since I decided I wasn't going to let anything hold me back I decided why not spoil myself and go to a few of the games court side. Why not?! I work hard and it's paying off. One of my best guy friends Kyle took me to the first preseason game. (thanks babes) and the rest of the games my partner in crime Kahlin (@4everfabulous) went with me. It was nice to see old faces of the employees and other season ticket holders that I've know for a few years now. And the new arena ... wow! It's beautiful! Orlando needed an upgrade. The Gentleman's Jack bar is breath taking. To be outside overlooking 55 West (shouts to TB & PB) and the city line is a nice change.
Birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays .... ya'lls parents were all getting it in the same month. SMH cuffing season. My childhood friend Andre's (@QlarkQent14) birthday fell on this month too. Andre and I go way back to grade school days. He used to be a "protector" figure for me in those days. It was actually just by chance that I ended up going out for his birthday. Originally my friend and I were going downtown to Urban flats for dinner and then out to Antigua to see my friend Brody (@brodyorlando) who hosts there every Saturday(shouts to you hater faceeeeee). We just happened to see our friend Austin walking by while we were outside eating and he told us about the get together. Two clubs, one night. Random nights ... got to love them :)
Another Birthday! See I told you ya'lls parents were getting it in during this month. Another friend of mine had a birthday ... lets just call this person unknown. Too much controversy when I mention this name. Along with his Gucci wallet I got him we went to one of the Magic games and sat on the floor. Happy birthday to you babes aka Grandpa!
Tampa!! I promise I'm going to move here eventually. The girls and I decided we were going to go to Tampa to see the Orlando VS Miami game there. We purchased court side seats that cost us and arm and a leg just to witness this game. WOMP! As soon as we walked onto the property they made the announcement the game was cancelled do due a "slippery" floor. I guess there was a hockey game the night before and it caused problems with the court floor. LAME regardless. The weekend was still a lot of fun though. My friend Brody (@BrodyOrlando) works for XL 106.7 ended up coming to Tampa that weekend because he was able to get his hands on some Howl-O-Scream tickets and fast passes for all of us. Let me tell you, never in my life have I been so scared I wanted to cry. One of the houses I literally turned around and told Brody he was going to have to carry me out of the house because I couldn't take it any more. By the second house I was trying to sell my fast pass and not go in anymore of the houses. I don't know if it was my adrenaline but I ended up finishing all of the houses and by the 4th house I was laughing through out the whole house. Thanks for taking us Hater Faceeeeeee
Saturday night ... Pre Halloween! All month long people kept asking me what I was dressing up as and my response every time was, "I'm not dressing up this year. I said last year as Eve would be my last costume". Well, thanks to TB he talked me into dressing up and actually came up with my costume. The original idea was supposed to be a bad Cupid and wear all black because Cupid is known for putting all the wrong people together. After I parked at Lux with Allie (@allie_erickson) to go see Dre (@StopGassinEm) Skribe (@THErealSKRIBE) and Luch (@_iMotorboat) I decided I didn't want to carry my bow and arrow. My wings were already going to be a problem hitting people left and right. The last thing I wanted was to hold a bow and arrow all night. So I just let people decide what I was. I got dark angel a lot ... so that's what were going to go with. The boys costumes were hilarious! They dressed up as The Swamp People. They had the hillbilly accents down and even wrestled an inflatable gator at the club. They had people rolling. I still think you guys had the best costumes! Allie was supposed to be a vampire per our convo before I picked her up and by the time she got in my car she changed hers to Jennifer's Body. Vampire or Jennifer's Body all I can say is holy boobies :)
Allie and I stayed at Lux for 45 minutes just so I could see my boys and then we headed downtown for the block party. Cuh-Ra-Zee! some of the costumes were really great and others ... not so much. We originally went down town to meet up with my friend Nesto and some child hood friends of mine who happen to be friends with him as well. (shouts to kevin and keith Bonifacio) Then allie and I decided we were going to go Team Chocolate finding. We were walking around for a little while and then BAM we seen a cute group of guys. We crossed the road and went to walk over to them and the closer I got I started to recognize one of them, CP!! How were the only attractive team chocolate men downtown turn out to be my friends. It was nice running into him though. Thats my mr. lova lova face! I used to live with this kid for 2 years. Love you CP!
Beiber Fever! This kids costume was great! He was the only Justin Beiber I seen all night. He kind of looked like him too.
Ran into part of the "Hoss Movement" as well. Which by the way were all behaving if any of their girlfriends are reading this :)

This poor guy had to be sweating balls, but his costume was Grrrrreat! Teen wolf! That used to be my favorite movie.
Then we have my whole Dominican crew who dressed up as doctors and then theres Nesto the only non dominican in the bunch lol Shouts to Nesto, Keith and Kevin!
Happy Halloween! I was supposed to be out of town this weekend and responsibilities called and I ended up having to stay in town. It actually worked out for the best because I was able to take my little sisters out trick or treating, which I was upset about missing when I thought I was going to be out of town. You'd think little girls would want to dress up as a princess or something girly. Not mine sisters. One wanted to be a vampire and the other an Egyptian queen. I searched everywhere for their costumes. Literally, and when I thought I was done they both decided they wanted black wigs. I took them around my aunts neighborhood because there are theses two houses every year who have a haunted house. This is the first year my sisters decided they were going to go in it which was nice for a change minus the 30 minute wait. I felt like we were at Halloween Horror nights with out a fast pass. It was worth it though because they had a great time.
All in all this month was absolutely amazing! I had a blast! I'm actually sad October is over. November has big shoes to fill because October killed it and December is my birthday and Miami is already planned for that (shouts to Steve). Here's to finishing out the rest of the year with the same attitude and same amount of fun!
