Golden Gloves

Tonight, Mike and I are going to the Golden Gloves Competition. This is such a departure from my old life. Watching a boxing event much less in person was never on my To Do list. Since I started kickboxing, I am a little more interested in the fights. Not too sure how this will go but, we will see. I won't be fighting any time soon though, I can tell you that. I am so nervous for these boys. Good Luck One More Round fighters!

SAINTS win the SuperBowl

I know, I have been blogging about the Saints for the last week or so but...They won! It is so amazing, I don't even know what to think. My friend asked me if I feel any different today and I have to tell you that I do. My team won. My team, the one that used to be called the Aints by the non-believers.
It is a good feeling to win!

Love you Mom!


I miss my mother terribly. My mom passed away in April of 2008 and time does not always heal wounds. She was not "sick" for that long which was a blessing because she did not have to suffer long. My mother died of uterine cancer that had metastasized to the brain but she had no idea that she had cancer until 4 weeks before her death.
While the timing was a blessing for her, it left us with many unanswered questions that I did not even know I would have about her childhood, my childhood, and many other things.
I don't have many pictures of my mother because she did not like to have her picture taken. The very few we did have from our childhood were all destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. This leaves me with only my wedding photos that she HAD to be in and a few candid shots.
So, here is to you Inez, maybe if you had posed more often for photos I would have a nicer one to post. Oh and by the way, I miss you and "love you as big as the world."

Funniest Website

This might be the funniest website I've seen. http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/
Either that or I need to go to sleep!

SAINTS Win!!

I BELIEVE! I always have believed in my hometown team. After many sad years of watching my team be the worst in NFL history, tonight they pulled through and won and will be heading to Miami for the SuperBowl. If my parents could only see this. I am sure that they are partying in heaven with all the other Saints!

Inactive

I had these great expectations for myself to be a "blogger." I started and then immediately stopped. Part of the problem was that I was having computer problems and then after I solved that I just became uninterested.
I read MANY blogs and love them all. I at one time thought that my life was not interesting enough to blog about. It still probably isn't but...

One of my favorite blogs http://shane-natalie@blogspot.com is always inspirational. SHe posted, a few days ago, about Natalie - on a small scale. It was about defining yourself. Here is Rachel, on a small scale- things that described me at a period in my life.

Childhood
Lisa- we were always together
Anything pink
Uniforms

Stickers - loved them. Still love sticky things!
High School

Uniforms

School books

My Sweet little baby- Blaize. She is not really a baby but she will always be my baby.
PINK
Jewelry and lots of it
Crafting.

That is pretty much the things that define me, for the most part.
Got a roll for now. I am going to try to be better with blogging. Oh and Geaux Saints!
