TAG! You're it.

Yay for blog games! My friend, in RL and blogosphere, Amanda over at The Brandon and Amanda Story has tagged me in a little blog game.

The Rules:
1. You must post the rules
2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post
3. Answer the questions the tagged set for you in their post, and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
4. Tag eleven people and link them on your post.
5. Let them know you've tagged them!

eleven facts:
1. I believe with no doubt in mind that Honey is my soulmate. I'm so fortunate to have him in my life.



2. I'm a list making freak. I probably make about 5-10 lists each week concerning different things. Inventory for work, grocery lists, to do lists, you name it, I list it.

3. God has blessed me with so much. A lot of the times I wonder why, then I remember because he's good like that.

4. I adore my family. My family is unusually close. We openly talk about things that many families don't. Honestly if all families were as close as mine I think the world would be a much better place: more love, less hate.

5. My nephew is my shining star. He showed me just how much I can love and has taught me things no one else has even though he's two. Maybe I'm bias but he's cutest two year old there is. Just saying hehe.



Who couldn't love that sweet baby face with bed head like that?

6. I'm highly addicted to The Sims. It started in fifth grade, and I'm still playing it. I've had the original game, the sims 2, and now the sims 3. All EP's and stuff packs. Nerd? I know. Proud of it. When The Sims 3 first came out I purchased it "preorder". I received it bought the limited edition along with the pricey playing guide. Scheduled off work, got up early AM to pick it up, only to get home and load it to my computer to realize my computer is not update enough. Two years later I still hadn't been able to play it and then Honey went out and bought me a new computer for Christmas and made sure that it had enough ghz just for the game. Now, it's on like donkey kong!

7. Ive had six car wrecks: rear ended my friend when I was 16, ran off the road and flipped 3 times in my Volkswagen bug, two involved mailboxes (seriously, don't ask), one time I was rear ended by an old guy who didn't pay attention, and my most recent (like I just got my car back today) was December 17th and a guy jumped out in front of my car on the interstate and committed suicide. I'm hoping thats my last one, seriously.

8. Diagnosed and treated for depression in 2005. I think it has a lot to do with me creating a blog. My physician gave me two options: therapy or a journal that he could checkup on every month. I went with a journal and I've found a passion for writing ever since.

9. I'm obsessed with organizing. I love all things organizational.

10. Don't send me to Walmart unless you have no hurry to retrieve the items you sent me for. I get distracted, I could browse for hours. Honey HATES this. (I love the school supplies aisle and craft section...I've learned to stay away. )

11. I'm naturally blonde hair blue eyed but I haven't been blonde since I was in middle school.

Amanda's questions, Diva's answers:
1. Your favorite DIY project you have done? And if you haven't done one, which one is on your to do list?
I haven't DIY'ed in a long time. But I would have to say I knitted a scarf and I love it. There's a TON of stuff on Pinterest that I want to tackle but I'm saving them for when Honey and I buy our house.
2. What's your favorite ap?
Sorry Amanda but my favorite what?!
3. When you log onto the internet, where is the first place you go?
Well normally I surf the web from my phone so I normally have a place I'm directly going. But my top two are blogger and google.
4. What's your favorite thing about the blogging world?
Seeing life from all different points of views. Reading about the views of different mothers on motherhood and just meeting people from all over the world.
5. Favorite vacation spot?
I wish I could do more vacationing/traveling but I don't. If I had to chose obviously Florida. I love the hot summer sun and sand between my toes.
6. Your favorite thing to cook? Will you share the recipe?
Of course! My easiest meal is chili.
1lb Ground beef (I use turkey for health purposes)
Large can of crushed tomatoes (I cant remember what oz but I think it's 16? ...)
McCormick chili packet
Kidney beans (optional, size is as well it just however much you want)

Brown meat. When finished add meat to a pot along with all other ingredients. I normally drain the kidney beans. If it's a little chunkier than desired add a touch of water. Simmer for 30minutes and serve.

The my most recent and favorite recipe is crockpot turkey lasagna. Recipe can be found Here but once again, ground turkey instead of beef.

7. When was the last time you did a good deed and what was it?
I try to do good deeds on a daily basis, no really I do. I guess I would have to say that I helped TRex, Honey's roommate do his laundry because he hadn't had much time to.
8. What's the best book you have read?
Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel will always be my favorite just because it helped me receive more in-depth insight regarding my depression. I also love the Ellen Hopkins series because of her poetic form of writing.
9. What's your go to bible verse?
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
10. What's the last thing you purchased?
Gas. :-/
11. Who is your favorite Disney princess?
Cinderella! Duh she has little mice for friends and she sings with the birds. Do I need to bring up her good taste in glass slippers?

Tell All Series v.1.0

As previously mentioned in my giveaway post, I will be starting a new "tell all" series. Each series will be some sort of collection of a different "tell all" subject. It will be week to week, no particular day. Some will be about motherhood, some about sex, some about nothing particular.


Via google Tell all v1.0- The Awkward One Night Stand We all may have them, few actually talk about them. Bee Some friends and I went out one evening obviously indulging in quite a bit of liquid encouragement. Being the wild party animal I once was I indulged a lot. I ended up going home with a guy and the next morning I was woken up in a room filled with condom wrappers and his mother screaming, "get this little whore out of my house!". Apparently, as I was told in a sober mind later, I sat up looking directly at his mother and laughed then went back to sleep. The most awkward part? A month or so later I became his girlfriend. How's that for meeting the parents...twice. stay tuned to read about Miller's experience with the late night, coffee drinking mother (v.1.1) Don't forget to enter my current giveaway! Only two entries so far end 2/29/2012! $25 Amazon.com gift card! You're chances are looking good. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

GIVEAWAY! Dirty minds...




Today I'm linking up with Boobies and Masshole Mommy for their Show Me Yours Sunday. A link up that features current giveaways being held. You can go there and peruse different giveaways or you can post yours to get more entries. Win/win situation.

Speaking of giveaway, I never set an "end date". The giveaway will end on February 29th at 12AM, yep...leap year baby. The winner will be announced within a week. If the winner does not claim prize within a week, another will be chosen.

It's been just another Sunday spent in DTown. This time we did things a little different. Instead of going to either of Honey's grandparents house we went to his sister's. She made spaghetti, nomnomnom! Then we headed to his parents house where unfortunately his mom had to work but his dad had some friends over playing guitar and whatnot in the basement. Nothing too terribly eventful which is kind of a relief because I haven't been up for too much excitement in my plans this weekend. I'm loving the laying low status right now ha! Honey took off to the gym so now I'm at home with loads of laundry, again. No one's home so it's kind of the perfect way to round off the weekend. Alone time. Quiet. Peaceful...I don't get much of that anymore. I'm off to go spend "me time" and by "me time" I mean I'm going to over indulge in The Sims 3- ever since I got my new computer I'm sure Kyle half-way feels single again (yeah right, he calls it my babysitter).

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

The challenge

Oh shocking, I haven't posted since Saturday! Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, I've just been busy and what not.

Nevertheless Monday I decided to take on a challenge, actually it was Friday of last week but I started on Monday. Back in February Summer over at Le Musings of Moi (super cute blog btw) introduced a challenge to take on. Though I initially planned to jump on the bandwagon I never did. Now not only am I jumpin on it but I also introduced it to my employees and we are all challenging myself. Talk about people to help hold you accountable! You can read more about this challenge here.

Day one of "21 Days to a Better You" is to give up something for 21 days ready for the shocker? I gave up coffee, and yes now I want it more than ever but I am committing! Day two was focused on kindness, which was yesterday, and it challenges you to do a random act of kindness for your family or friends. Bee has been having a rough time lately so I wrote her a note along with handing her a small present. I didn't stop there though. Last night I joined my mom on going to a Scentsy party which I actually ended up enjoying.

Then there's today. Today we are focusing on counting our blessings. Which is possibly a good thing since I didn't have the best of night last night which has carried over to this morning.

Check out the full list of challenges.

wine for babies

Oh hush, just keep reading.

So to say that yesterday was less than an ideal way to start off my week would definitely be an understatement. Today I've decided to turn that all around and besides going to work, I'm making this day about me. I treated myself to some wine, Pinot grigio to be exact. I love a good glass of wine but I don't drink frequently enough in my leisure time to actually finish a whole bottle. So to sum it up, I waste a tad more than half of a bottle. Today, however, I decided I was going to buy a bottle and I don't care if I throw all of it away but one sip! Lucky for me I came across baby bottles!



And no, I do not mean a bottle of wine for a baby lol. The bottle contains just enough for one glass of wine. You can buy them in sets of four and for someone like me, its perfect!

So I figured what better way to reflect my "me" day through my blog than to do a follow up on my FAQ's. In the post I asked for you all to ask me questions that I would later respond to. However due to my lack of popularity I only had one person ask me some questions but that's okay cause it's the lady behind the scene of one of my top five favorite blogs.

And so Venassa asks...

"What are some things you and Honey do for fun? Minus the obvious..."
Well, let's see...supposing that the 'obvious' is the bedroom boom, horizontal tango, or even the pants party then that takes away one of my favorites. Haha only kidding...kinda. Honey and I are a lot like old people. We live simple lives of work and home, but when we feel wild we will head to dinner and sometimes a movie. In the summertime we like to ride the Harley, go to bike rallies and what not. Other than that we spend our fun time entertaining each other.

"What were you like in high school?"
Oh geez, awesome?! Duh?! Um it really depends on what school you want to talk about. Of course I'm going to go with my hometown high school because high school here in C'ville was less than ideal. At BHS I was friends with literally everyone, popular girls, jocks, nerds, gothics, ghettos, um no seriously everyone. I won't classify myself as one of the popular crowd I was just kind of a person that was floating around and happy for the most part. I didn't stick with just one style of clothing. I dressed depending upon my mood for which I got a lot of shit for here in Clarksville yet in Hendersonville I had even heard someone say it was inspiring. So whatever here's a few pictures that document my random style.



Preppy with my polo on.



Flirty little sundress. Don't ask what I'm doing. Keyword high school.




Skater in my etnies tee. I'm sure it was paired with a studded belt and holed jeans.




No makeup chilling in a tee.



My thrifty goodwill tee and oversized jewelry? Cant go wrong!

Okay so moving on...

"What's your worst habit?"
Really Venassa?! Lol only kidding. I bite my nails which is less than ideal. Honey would probably say that my worst habit is me leaving my work cups all around the house and forgetting to trash them. Hehe, ever since he brought it to my attention I've worked on it, I will admit.

Okay that was oodles of fun ask me more! Haha. I'm off to catch up on responding to emails, reading blogs, and finishing up my scrumptious glass of wine.

Happy Tuesday :) oh wait is it too late for that? I mean it is kind of getting close to shutting tuesday down and all...oh well tomorrows hump day and I hope you do just that! Lots of humping :D

Diva's FAQ

So recently Venassa over at Live Your Life posted a FAQ blog. Recently I thought about doing this but really there was two different ways I wanted to go about posting this. However I've decided to combine the two. So here are some of my most FAQ about myself that I get on sometimes a daily, sometimes a weekly basis.

1. What kind of makeup do you use?
Answer: my foundation changes frequently being that A I don't want to spend money on the good stuff and B that I don't feel like waiting on shipping. For the most part I use MAC cosmetics foundation in Studio Fix. If I go with drug store I use Maybelline Fit Me, so far its the best I've come across that doesn't end up splotchy by noon. As far as eyeshadow goes, I'm a junky with a problem. But seriously, last Christmas I bought a collection palette from Sephora and I still cannot get enough of it.






I love it! It comes in a box and when you unfold it it just keeps unfolding magical goodness.

2. Are you wearing colored contacts?
Answer: negative, bitches this shit is all me! I have naturally blue eyes and when the sunlight hits them just right, they practically glow.



Above is a high school picture, blue eyes. Shocker. Below is now, still blue eyes!




3. Where do you get your hair done? How do you get it to stay so poofy? (I combined these two to git-r-dun.
Though the majority of readers aren't from here, I'll inform you I go to The Chameleon to get my hair done by this sweet woman named Brandy. And my poofiness?



That. That right there is how I get my poofiness. Fat Hair "0" Calories hair spray is by far the besttttt hair spray ever. To the left of the Sephora box, second bottle over from the right, is Big Sexy Hair What A Tease, backcomb in a bottle. I use to tease my hair all the time and unlike most people it isn't hard for me to get the tease out. However I do lose hair in the process and it thins your hair out. So I give to you the best alternative yet. Seriously the backcomb in a bottle is amazing. I load my hair up with it every morning. From left to right: Big Sexy Hair blow dry volumizing gel, great base for give your hair a little extra oomph. Fat Hair hairspray, previously mentioned. Fat Hair "0" Calories hair thickening creme. Definitely a product you have to go easy with because if not, your hair will be greasy as hell and kind of matted. Then it's the What A Tease by Big Sexy Hair. Following it in the little can is OSIS Thrill. This is for after your hair is blow dried you get a tiny pinch of it and rub it between your fingers and kind of style and place your hair exactly where you want it. So there you have it, my poof.



3. Are you married?
Answer: you know the answer, no not yet.

4. In reference to my clothes I'm constantly asked "where did you get that at?"
Answer: I'm cheap. So basically everywhere you probably haven't looked. To name a few, Walmart, Target, Goodwill, Rainbow, TJ Maxx, and Body Central. The last three are for when I decide to splurge. I'm not like a lot of women, I rather pay very little and get a whole lot than pay a whole lot and get very little. However, a purse is something you should never cheap yourself on!

5. In reference to my office space and work, a lot of times I get asked "who does all the pretty writing?" "who does all the organizing" "who labeled everything so nicely?" so on so forth...
Answer: the one and only, me. I get OCD. I love organization. And if everything is in an organized manner work seems to be conquered much more efficiently.

That's all I got for now. Just like Venassa said at the end of her post, nothing is too personal so feel free to ask me questions that I can answer in a later post :) also go check out that hot mommas blog. :-P

Favorite blogs

Lately I've been wanting to find more blogs to read but simply have not come by any that really pique my interest. So I have decided to throw some of my favorites out there. What would be really awesome? If you were to list your top five favorite reads as well. Leave it in a comment, or even a post and comment with the URL to your post.

So I present you with my top five favorite blogs and I'm even going to go as far to tell you why.

#1: Boobies
-why? Because she's fucking hilarious thats why. Needless to say shes always hosting giveaways that are bad ass.

#2: Venassa
-why? Because she's the type of girl I can see myself having coffee with and chatting about nonsense. Recently adding a new addition to her family is a bonus to read about. She's straight forward with the good bad and ugly about motherhood and that's what I want to hear not the sugar coated bullshit.

#3Amanda
-why? Though I may be bias due to the fact that her and I went to highschool together, her blog is still a great read. Newly married so I can identify with being a young couple. She posts great recipes along with adorable pictures of her dog Jaxon and so much more.

#4: Saucy Bitch
-why? Ah hem, her name should say it all!

#5: Summer
-why? Because she is one of the sweetest people I've ever met through blogging. She is an inspiration and passionate about life. She loves and adores her family and this is seen clearly in each post that she writes.

Now give me some suggestions people! Also go check those bloggers out. You'll love em! :)

Now I'm off to get back to work. What I really should've been doing all along :)


- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

The real diva bee, please stand up.

You see, originally I wanted my URL to be divabee.blogspot.com however, it was taken. After having THEdivabee.blogspot.com for going on two years now, it has just now hit me hey! Let's go see who snatched the name up, only to find out they have written all of one blog post, and I thought I was bad? If you've read this blog for any time at all then you know I work for my dad at his restaurant and doing catering. Our specialty? Barbecue. Now I present to you, the one and only post ever made by "diva bee".

please..compare me to a pork product.
I am a waitress.
Now, Im sure many have had the.."opportunity" to serve others, however, if you haven't.
I envy the shit out of you.

The simple task of making small, polite conversation with strangers gets harder and harder with every single step that I take in my ugly, faux Converse, non-slip shoes!

And on top of that, you want me to get their drinks and take their food order too!
man, you're killin me.

You see, some of you may be thinking, "ya know, there are worse things." But no..no, i assure you, there are not. I've seen the dark side of the world, and unfortunately, Im employed there.
I work at a BBQ pit, where there are too many managers (and micro managers), too much BBQ sauce (I mean, that shit's everywhere), and so much pork product that Im starting to think the building is edible..perhaps Im pork product now.

Now, don't get me wrong, the cash is fast and the work is pretty much easy--but talkin about BBQ with customers is not an ideal conversation topic because not only do I not care at all, whatsoever, but neither do they. Yet my boss walks the floor to make sure i draw catchy and witty pictures on a plate, with different sauces.
im encouraged to start conversations about ribs.
Honestly..no one gives a fuck.
If you came up to me and started talkin to be about pork ribs, I would look at you like you were an artard and then proceed to kick you. It's just the most appropriate response.
So i go to work everyday hoping no one will kick me.

But what's worse about the pit of hell??
It's exactly like HIGH SCHOOL. (Dun Dun Dun..)
yep. the same bitching, moaning, groaning, gossiping, hookups, scandals, sabotages..all for 5 tables, for 4 hours. Im the youngest employee there and have yet to fight with someone.
It's all the grown folks. It's stupid really.
But the juice, the drama, the gossip, it's bad man. There's bitches sleepin with GMs, people stealin BBQ, coke lines being snorted off the toliet paper dispenser in the men's bathroom, older guys wanting to get busy with little girls. What?
Right.

..hahaha, and the tipping?
should I get into that??
That's a whole 'nother blog.
but, it is 20% people.
Gaw.

I cannot help but to laugh at the irony of it all. Though my job is clearly nothing like this minus the sometimes it can be much like high school part... Oh and the snorting coke part....KIDDING! But the fact that she works in the barbecue business and sounds almost as big of a smart ass as me...definitely irony. Us divas must think very much alike.

Only I'm the real Diva Bee. ;)

you can find this post at www.divabee.blogspot.com though I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be hit with copyright bullshit considering this was posted in 2009. I'm showing I care.

And for those of you thinking "woohoo the diva made it back two days in a row!" yeah this shit was totally a scheduled post. Hehe.

Wee bit, yo.

Because I needed something to do while Honey cooked dinner.... obviously I'm extremely domestic.

Sleep. But then again thats my favorite thing to do on any day hehe.

In my case its more like I drink a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar. But considering I'm on a diet, I'm not drinking it at all. Gasp!

{ten} have you ever done a professional photo shoot?
Uhh I guess you could call it that. My high school sweethearts mom was a pro-photographer and she took several for me. Actually a whole afternoons worth, but it is what it is.

FMBT v.2 & ABCs

I'm participating again in FMBT. If you're interested in finding some new good reads, as far as blogs go, I suggest you participate.

We Want To Know Wednesday!!

I haven't had anything to really write about, maybe it's considered writers block. Who knows, either way I'm taking part in another bandwagon, I guess you can call this bandwagon week...learn to love it because tomorrow will be another. Make sure you check tomorrows post though, it's kind of an event in my life that I hold close to my heart. A true learning experience and wake up call, if you will. But on to the point in hand...

Questions:
1.What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!
2.Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?
3.What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?
4.What is your driving pet peeve(s)?
5.What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?
Answers
1. what game show have you always thought you could be on and totally win?
who wants to be a millionaire of course! ...yeah...right...
Probably press your luck. Anyone remember it? Maybe I'm old school.

2. Do you have a tattoo? What are they and what made you choose them?



That's not a very accurate picture, but I started out with 2 stars on my hip bones. Just the outlines at first but later I got them filled in to be nautical stars. The nautical part is pink and black and they have lime green lines through it. I'm actually in desperate need of a touch up but yeah.

I picked it because I had always wanted it. No real reason behind it actually and yes, I plan on getting more eventually.

3. What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?
Well I would have to say the ring my grandmother gave me when I was a teenie bopper. Yes, I just used that phrase lol. Its a gold band with rubies and diamonds on it. I've always kept up with it and now that it doesn't fit,it's on my key ring.

4. What is your driving pet peeve?
Ha! Funny question to ask someone with horrible road rage. My worst peeve though is when someone pulls out in front of me and then chooses to go 5-10 miles under the speed limit. Oh and I hate getting behind someone with Kentucky tag. Sorry I'm being a "hater" but they seriously cannot drive.

5.What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?
That's a really tough question to ask someone didn't really watch TV. However if I had a gun put to my head and HAD to answer, I would have to pick two.



Will & Grace and The Nanny



what? I was only born in 1988!


Now, everyone go over and link up. You can do this by simply clicking on the WWTK image.

Fawk You Friday
a day late, a post behind
Anyone enjoying how I'm late on my blogs bandwagons this week? I thought so. This week has been hell on wheels so I figured regardless of what day it is, I would take part in Boobies' "Fawk You Friday" ranting posts. Me rant? Yeah get use to it. if you've never checked out Boobies, Babies, and a Blog... I suggest you do so. You can find her button in my blogroll. Get to it. You'll love her smart ass, family lovin', sex toy reviewing, and give away givin' blog posts. Shes a joy to read. Just saying.

fawk you weather. You have screwed up my allergies. Caused mosquito havens all around me. And most of all you have fawked up my schedule.

fawk you coworker who decided to me a no call no show. You've royally fawked my work week up.

fawk you people who have chosen to complain so much this week that not only have you pissed me off but you have my sister, and my boss...whom is my father and I live with so the anger isn't only at work but it follows me home.

fawk you week. You have given me so much hell. So many tears. And so many anxiety attacks the past 7 days it's not even funny.

fawk you concrete truck. You have pulled out in front of me two days this week an decided to go 35 in a 55 thus making me late for work TWICE. you bitch.

There's more things I could fawk off right now but for the sake of my sanity I'm not going to get into it right now.

I hope you have a fawking fabulous weekend.

Blogoversary + My first giveaway!

[via google images]

It's The Diva Bee's one year anniversary! It's unbelievable to me that I've been in the blogging community for a year now. I started this blog when one of my relationships ended in hopes that it would take up some of my new free time that once was occupied by him. Where that story ended another unfolded, and where I'm at today I couldn't be happier.

On this blogging journey I have become more knowledgable about things I once had no knowledge or very little about before. I have met people who have inspired me to be a better person. I have read blogs that inspired me to dig deeper in my faith. I have won three giveaways. When having down time that was consumed with boredom, I would start reading blogs that the majority of time would replace the boredom with laughter. I could keep on going, but I don't want to bore you.

So in the name of it being my blogoversary, I thought what better of a way to celebrate than to host my very first giveaway.

My lovely and soon to be momma blog buddy Valerie over atNext To Heaven has an Etsy shop called Spunk And Sass. If you've never been to it before, you're missing out on some badass handcrafted items! Pure talent, need I say more? Anywayssss. For my giveaway the winner gets to choose any item, yes I said any item, from her shop.

1. Your name, blog title, and a link to your blog.
2. Tell me why you love me, get as cheesy as you want, Ha!
3. Follow me, if you're already a follower lemme know duh.
4. Visit spunk and sass and lemme know what item is your favorite.
5. If you're new here, tell me how you found me.

I will announce the winner February 1st. Therefore, you must enter to win by the 31st. Once I announce the lucky ass winner, I will email you with the information I need in order to get your gift to you. :)

What a bandwagoner!

So I don't go into work until 10am so I have been sitting around trying to think up something that I wanted to post about. Normally my posts come from something that happened through the day, ie freaking bitch yesterday. So I decided to scramble around other blogs in hopes that it would trigger something to fill the blank post that was waiting for me to fill with useless nonsense. Little did I know, overnight I had gained two followers, welcomes to you, so of course I'm going to go check these new stalkers of mine out! Upon my "stalk-back" I decided to copy Steve, my new follower, fromSteve's Nude Memphis Blog by doing a meme, or whatever you wanna call it. Thanks Nudie Steve. Before I start, I have to add that I thought I got to be a word whore when it comes to posting, but Steve is one wordy guy! Check him out, he's got quite a bit to say...and it's pretty fucking humorous.

Now, to the task at hand...


Be honest, who texted you last

The guy I'm dating, K.


Do you sleep with the door open or closed?

I sleep naked so whether it be in my bed or K's the door is shut. I don't want my parents nor his room mate getting an eyeful.

Do you drink tea?

Only if the shit is sweet. I'm from the south, we serve that sweet stuff.


Do you have plans for tomorrow?

Yep. I first have to go get my oil changed in my car, then go get the oil changed in my vagina. What? I'm talking about my gynecologist appointment of course.


What’s worse: dry skin or chapped lips?


Chapped lips. Because if they end up cracking you have to wait for the shit to heal, dry skin you can just apply moisturizer and wahlah!


Would you be surprised if your parents had another baby together?

Considering my moms tubes are tied, she's had a hysterectomy, and my dads cods got snipped...yeah I would be freaked out.


Would you rather go to Canada or California on vacation?

California. I hate cold weather and I feel like I could be more entertained in Cali. But wait, what parts are we talking bout here?


Do you want to get married?

If the time and the man is right, yes.


Are you wearing jeans, shorts, sweatpants or pajama pants?

I'm kicking it in my work jeans.


So, what if you married the last person you texted?

Um, well, that's kind of putting me on the spot isn't it? It's too soon to be talking about all that.


Last person you told a secret to?

See question #1.
same answer.

What are you listening to at the moment?

The Today Show, but I'm not really listening to it it's just background noise.


Where was the last place you fell asleep other than your bed?

Other than my bed? k's bed. Other than a bed at all? My couch.


Is there someone that you believe you will always be attached to?

My family, I can change the blood I bleed. But maybe thats not the question...


Are relationships ever really worth it?

I believe every relationship happens for a reason. The majority of the time I learn something about myself or I learn something that I want in my future mate that the last one didn't have. Are the tears and heartache worth it? No, easier said then done, but every time one story ends another unfolds.


Do you believe in love?

Meet my parents, hear their story, and tell me how you couldn't believe in love.


When was the last time you saw your father?

Last night when he went to tell me goodnight before he went to bed.


Have any memories that you’d like to forget?

Who doesn't.

Is there someone you really like to hang out with and just talk about stuff?’

S and L. We meet at Starbucks for pointless, meaningless, random conversation.

Have you ever been called prince or princess?

Actually yes.


Do you think teenagers can be in love?

See question: "do you believe in love"


How fast does your mood change?

Depends, menstruating or not? ha!


How are you feeling?

Minus this sinusitis shit, fucking fabulous.


Do you want someone to call you right now?

I don't want someone to call me. But I don't don't want someone calling neither.


What do you always take with you?

My iphone is pretty much always glued to my fat ass.

Is your bed comfortable?

Like a freaking fluffy cloud.


Would you say you’re an understanding person?

I try to be. Sometimes my hardheadedness doesn't let me be.


Are you generally a happy person?

Pretty much. Unless drama pops up then I get pretty pissy.

Who’s in your profile picture with you?

Wait, what profile picture? Blogger, Facebook, myspace? You need to be more specific here...


Were you single on Valentines Day?

Always have been since 2007. What's up!


What is the last movie you watched?

The Dilemma with K. That shit was funny.


Do you listen to songs when you’re done?

Done doing what? What the hell...


How long does it take you to fall asleep at night?

It depends on the circumstances. If I just finished having sex, immediately...if I took cough syrup, immediately...if I worked, had a rough day, or have a lot of my mind because of work.....I'll be lucky if I get sleep at all.


Are you talkative?

Depends. Is alcohol involved? Do I know the people I'm suppose to be talking to?


Were you single last summer?

Yeah. I had my occasional bitches.


I hope y'all enjoyed. Hopefully tomorrow I can open a can of whoop ass on writer's block and defeat it once and for all.

It's MIRACULOUS!

Okay, so I don't know if everyone has heard about the Victoria Secrets Miraculous Bra, but seriously, woah diva! I can't even count how many bra's I've purchased over the years try to find that perfect lift and shift for my boobies. I have finally found just that. If you notice in most "push-ups" they have a padding in one of two places on the outter rim of the cup or in the lower bottom of the cup. Not this bad boy. The MB has two pads in both places. When they say you move up two cup sizes, they're not lying. Why buy boobies from a doctor for a 1,000+ dollars when you can spend less than $60 on a bra. Not only is it cheaper, but your boobies can now be customized. Want small boobs for that one dress? You got it, just take the bra off and put your wal-mart bra back on. Don't worry I'm not shaming the fabulous wally world! But when you need that perfect cleavage, never fear my fellow diva's... victoria has your back!

Can anybody tell I loveee finding the perfect product for whatever need it may be? What are some of ya'lls favorite deals, products, etc?

Also I'm thinking about doing a guest blog post, anybody interested in being featured on The Diva Bee? Just send me an e-mail at thehaleybarr[at]yahoo[dot]com. I'll then give you a list of themes you can choose from.

Hope everybody's having a happy Sunday!

Today's media Monday is going to be alot different. I don't really know if you can consider it 'Media Monday' but oh well. I've been extremely overwhelmed lately so I've taken a blogcation. So for today's MM I'm just going to leave you with a link to my current guest blog. I should be returning soon with something a little more fabulous but until then head over to Life As Eye See It and check out my post. Hopefully it will give you some Diva Bee entertainment!

Guest Post

See ya soon :)

Blog of The Month

I've decided to start hosting a blog of the month. Not only is it something fun to do, but it will help my favorite blog's get more recognition. I have a few faves that I feel go "under-recognized" so I felt like this would be something fun to do. Though I don't have many followers myself, as my blog grows (hopefully) this will become more and more fun.



Blog of the month award goes to: [drum roll please..]

Summer at Summer's Story

I chose Summer's blog because she's always inspiring me. If you read her past blog posts about her disease, you will surely be inspired as well. She's always making me laugh, and needless to say her little girl is just a doll! By reading her blog you will quickly learn that she has one of the most kind hearts and an outstanding passion for life. Though Summer and I have never met in real life, I love this girl so much! And she definately has a rather large spot in my heart.

Congratulations Summer for not only winning my first blog of the month, but also stealing my heart!

Summer, and for you future winners, I have created a little award for you to post on your blog. Fill free to copy to your blog. :)

I might be giving you an award. See for yourself.

Is it me or is anyone else tired of seeing the same blog awards passed around? (hey, don't get me wrong, I love me some blog awards!) I feel like every blog I go to has the same ones...does this mean the value of the awards is being diminished or is everyones blog just that awesome?

With that being said, I took it upon myself to go in search of new blog awards. Though I came by pretty much the same ones that I've seen a dozen (times 10) times I did come by one that I don't believe I've ever seen... either that or I'm drunk right now, I'm going with the first one though. afdsadfaioj (sorry, my computer just vomited.)

Furthermore, I present you with my find. Generally an award is passed on by the almighty blogger who had just recieved it. Scratch that jazz, this is my blog, my rules... I found it... I'm passing it...take that biotchesss!



I read several blogs that make me smile just by seeing their "layout". Whether it was purchased or 'homemade' either way... some are just right out umm..well... ADORABLE! So here we go ladies, don't get too excited it's not for you it's for your blog (ha!) ...by giving you this i'm tellin' ya your blog is UBER CUTE!
