Sunday I was wearing these shoes that I got for $5 last year (Against Mei's wishes, yes Mei you were right), but they were so cute, it's those pointy black neting shoes....It was cool up until we got to the museum and the back of the shoe kept rubbin the back of the ankle, not that they were tight but  I guess something was poking out...to make a long story short, we get home and I show Justin my bloody feet and of course he's like "I told you not to wear them"(Thanks for being supportive babe).  It's all scabby and hurts like hell cause it's at the part of the foot which is always in motion.  (Think of when you get a cut on your elbow you can't bend it completely cause it's at the stretchy part and it's hurts like hell and is real annoying)...whateva,  you f*ckers know what I'm trying to say.

Then last night I was going to to sit on my chair and my camera fell straight on my foot.  Yeah I'm sure your like a camera weighs nothing, but it hit the bone, and now there's a slight black and blue, then this morning waking up at the butt ass crack of dawn I stubbed my toe on the Laudry room door. OUCHHHHHHH!!

I'M A HAZARD TO MYSELF!!!!!

On another note me and Justin are taking our first cruise together....IN JUNE!!!!, yeah I know mad months away right, but when things get me really happy I like to plan for them ahead of time...so anyways, I've been scouting out all the information about it, and luckily for working at a book Publishing house I got:

1. Frommer's Caribbean 2006

2.  Frommer's Bahamas 2006

3. Frommer's Portable Bahamas

4. Frommer's Caribbean Ports of Call

5.  The Unofficial Guide to Cruises

It's funny cause we're only going for like 4 days hahaha, but I'm so amped .  I even started working out again.  I'm going on an awesome trip my body's gotta be bangin'  (*ahem Justin, our bet is still on)

Horoscope for today:

You have made a lot of progress these past few weeks, especially where your temper is concerned. Good for you, Vanessa. It has taken some effort on your part, but it really seems that you have overcome your habit of speaking before thinking. Take care not to lose the hard-won ground you've gained. There is one particular person in your life, whose mission seems to be to make you explode! Don't let this person rankle you. Take a deep breath and rise above it.
