About me

I'm Mistie aka Sparkles dubbed from my love of all things glittery, shimmery, and of course covered in sparkles. It just kind of stuck and well here we are. I figured it just fit what I wanted this blog to be. A little of this and a little of that. I do enjoy writing, but I have trouble sticking to the script. I can be somewhat erratic and lose my focus but then again, I think it keeps things interesting. I definitely have a weakness for designer handbags and MAC make up but I really am not too much of a girly-girl. I can get dirty if I have to; I just don't prefer too. I will leave the grimy to the boys and stay in the air conditioning.

I am married to my husband who I met in 2003.  We were definitely voted most likely to never be a couple but hey - opposites attract and we really do compliment each other well.

We have 3 furbabies that are my whole entire heart. I blog about them often and I brag on them just like regular moms do. I am definitely an animal lover and these dogs are completely rotten. I'm not sure how that happened.

When I am not working (hahaha) I am enjoying some photography, selling Jamberry Nails, and working my arse off in the gym. I LOVE boxing! It is such  great release and it is killer on calories. So this blog covers it all and more I am sure. I love to network, meet new people, and keep in touch. I am an Instagram fool & a Facebook junkie. So this is just going to be another little addiction ;-)

Thanks for checking in. Feel free to leave any comments or pointers for this newbie blogger!

Did ya miss me?!

Ok, so before I am judged for being completely MIA... I'm Sorry!! Who missed me??  

So in the last month (the shame!) tons has happened and the holiday completely kicked my arse! I have been so dang busy with work, school, shopping, trying to gym it.. but I am sure most of you have as well so let's just forgive, forget & move on shall we?

Well, I am not going to pack everything in to a crazy-long recaps because #aintnoonegottimefordat and that would be hella long. So here it is...

Thanksgiving = Excellent as usual
Black Friday = Absolute Chaos as always! A yearly tradition that keeps getting better and better.
Thanksgiving Break = non-existent because you spend all week getting ready to Thanksgiving, then here it is, then Black Friday and then..back to work on Monday.

December - A blur.. a complete and udder blur.
Cookie Party = I am sure I gained about 12 pounds, but damn those cookies were all slammin!
Praying for Winter Break = Every.Damn. Day. Those kids were OUT OF CONTROL. I mean it was Friday the 13th & a Full Moon & the week before break all on the same day. Thanks for that...

So here we are on Christmas Break (yeah, its not PC but whatevs) and I am loving life. I feel relaxed and focused on me again. Working in a high school can really take its toll sometimes. But I have some fabulous blog post coming this week that will kinda recaps some of the bigger things with pics and such (I love a good picture blog) and some new ventures that I am all up in. Hello Jamberry Nails!!  Haven't heard of it... Go take a look - you won't be sorry!   http://justcallmesparkles.jamberrynails.net I will be posting up a separate blog telling you all about these. You can even have a virtual party (thank FB or Instagram, or even Twitter)

Peace!
