To All of My Gorgeous Readers...
As this is the first blog post, I should introduce you to what I wanted this blog to be about. As you can see La Casa de Josephine...is the name of my future lable, and the inspiration behind the lable is Freda Josephine Baker! (AKA Josephine Baker) To me she embodies so much of what femme fatales are to me! She is the luxe, oppulent, sensual, classy, ultra-feminine, edgey, multi-fascetted, and chic part of being a woman! So as I venture out into the world of fashion, I wanted to have Josephine's essence be the background for my blog!
Abrazos, Paz, Besos, Amor!
Mekha!!!

We jumped at 14000 feet from a perfectly good airplane. You get up to speeds of 120 mph until you hit 6000 feet when we deployed the chutes. Then you just float back to Earth. The whole thing takes about 65 seconds. It. was. awesome. Justin and I will definitely be doing this again; the feelings are indescribable. The view was awesome and just incredible how all of your senses just come alive. Between everything you see - the clouds, the horizon, the sun, the ground, and what you feel - the temperature at the drop point is 30 degrees and you can feel it get progressively warmer the closer to Earth, and the sounds - from wind rushing your ears until you deploy the chute and then it's absolute silence. Just clear as day to have a conversation between the instructor on my back and me. We did spins and spirals to get the lift in your stomach like a rollercoaster does. We can't wait to be able to afford to do it again! (Although I used my "self improvement" quarterly $200 from work to cover part of the cost today. :) I love my job.)
A perfectly good airplane:
Taking the plunge again; Happy 1 year anniversary!

Bella getting a bath:
Buddy too!
Bella's new collar:
No, forget the cat.
Ok, ok, I love you too.
Bella's mean face:
Ooh, found a sqeaky toy.
Mine.
Sharing the toy:
Chasing Buddy with the toy, around and around and around the couches:
Oh Lord, what have we gotten ourselves into?

Warning to all women who try on clothes at a store; shake them out first. I was at the Target by my house, which is a nice, big, clean, newer Target and was trying on some shirts. I stuck my hand inside the black shirt I was about to try on and felt something weird on my hand. As I pushed it through the arm hole, my hand came out with a HUGE cockroach on it. No joke. I flung my hand and it flew to the mirror. I was thisclose to running out of the dressing room screaming blue bloody murder without a shirt on. The only thing that kept me from doing so was the fact that I knew there were some guys in the dressing room. I managed to quickly grab my shirt and put it on before quickly exiting the dressing room, shaking. I told the ladies at the desk, where they were like, "oh yeah, I saw that cricket earlier." I replied, "No, not a cricket, a cockroach, and it was INSIDE the shirt I was about to try on." Then they started to hand ME something to kill it with. I was like, umm, no, I don't think so. I backed away and made the employee go do it. I only followed her back to the room so I could grab my purse. I told the girl as I left that the clothes and the little number they gave me were in the room and they could get them because I wasn't going back in there. So beware shoppers what could be lurking in clothes you are trying on. I rarely shop at Target as it is, but I don't think I will be going back anytime soon. It still gives me the heebie-jeebies thinking about it!
