Randomful Thursday, Jul 9 2009

There is something about the back of a man’s neck that is such a huge turn-on.*breathe*

My lil netbook is punking out on me!!!

I think its those darn FB applications…and maybe cuz I didn’t install any anti-virus software…grrrr

I love friends LOOOOVE…but when I’m distant…I MUST remember why I’m distant.

I’m not good at keeping my guard up…my chest starts to hurt.  When I take it down I get sucker punched.

I’ve met alot of cool people messing with the innanet.

I need to pack tonight for my lil weekend getaway.

I slept last night….nice.  I was tired this morning.  More tired than I was when I went to bed at 2 a.m.

In my statistics class the homework is kicking my butt..but I’m aceing my exams…strange.

I’ve been meaning/wanting to call someone for a week…yup today marks a week…I suck.

I’m super excited about my future. 

I love that I’m a girl…wouldn’t have it any other way.

I gave myself a challenge this week.  So far so good.

T is headed to North Carolina this morning.  She’s enjoying the peace and quiet of the “country”.

I’m on the innanet wayyyyyy too much.  I could be so much more productive.

Does it seem like the summer is almost over  to you?? 

I went to the movies Tuesday night solo to see Tra.nsform.ers.  A friend of mine posted on my FB status that he felt there were racial undertones when two of the “black” autobots couldn’t read.

Next weekend I’m flying to Tampa for my god-brothers wedding.  It’ll be the first time meeting his lady…at the wedding.  I don’t know if she’s good people.  I pray so because he’s a realllly good guy.

Bird ain’t hardly thinking bout me.

As soon as I’m able, I’m getting up outta NY…for perm.

If the bottom of your heels start to look like a flower is blooming upside down or if it sounds like you’re tap dancing when you walk PLEASE take yourself to the shoe repair.

I love it when it rains at night.

When other people do randoms I almost always draw a blank.

If you don’t draw a blank add your random!

Intercessor Wednesday, Jul 8 2009

I started a prayer journal where I record prayer requests of my own and of other people that I know or that I’ve been told about.  Sometimes once the smoke clears and time has passed, I forget how I felt when I didn’t see my way out.  It’s uplifting to be able to go back and see how I’ve made it through.

Through reading some of your blogs I’ve recorded some of the requests that I know are heavy on your heart.  I’m a huge believer in prayer and even more in intercessory prayer.  When I was sick and at my most critical state I couldn’t pray for myself..I wasn’t even conscious, but I had people praying for me.  I believe that I was covered from head to toe in prayer.  Today, I’m alive to talk about it.

I look forward to when I go back through the book and highlight those prayers that have been answered.  A large part of prayer is faith…God is motivated to move on our behalf according to our faith.  The bible says “Without faith it is impossible to please Him” Hebrews 11:6.  He delights in removing obstacles from our paths, making a way out of no way..shining a light in situations that appear dismal.  I encourage you to take all things heavy or light to Him in prayer. If you desire to share a prayer request I’d be happy to record it in my prayer journal.  It’s constantly in my thoughts and I send up those prayers daily.  When God shows up on your behalf we can rejoice together.

Empty nest Tuesday, Jul 7 2009

I should be doing back flips I suppose but I’m hella lonely and I can’t sleep.  When T was gone I still had Bird so I was ok.  Now that Bird is gone I’ve returned to my insomniac ways it seems.

I got home from school last night completely beat!  I couldn’t even pick out my clothes for today I was so tired, so I took my shower and hit the sheets…’cept…an hour later I was STILL awake!  Let me rewind and also so that when I got home I was paranoid that a burglar/rap.ist had snuck into my house and was hiding in a closet somewhere.  I called Mr. K…he says “well just go check all the closets” Me: “and then what…hasten my axing?”  How does looking for the criminal help me at all???

My alarm went off at 5:45am like it was supposed to, but somehow I didn’t open my eyes until 7:10am.  I’m supposed to be on a bus at that time *EYES STRETCHED* In a miracle of alll miracles I was in my car within 15 minutes.

I’m a mess….literally..I look like crap this morning…geesh.   My house is not a home with them gone *sigh*.

Weekend turn-out Monday, Jul 6 2009

PHEW!  This was really a packed…busy long holiday weekend.

Thursday we were excused from the cotton field early.  That was a joy.  I picked up Bird…we ran a few errands and then we hit Chuck E ”germ world” Cheese…those lil kid places give me hives.  Bird had a good time….she wore me out…we didn’t leave until after 9pm.

Friday we hit a bbq for a bit then I obliged da Principal with a drop off at the  airport.  He was headed to the Essence Music Festival.   Then we I did a lil whole lot of shopping this weekend.  Thats what happens when I have too many days off.  It’s dangerous.  Bird had been nagging asking me for a pair of chu.ck tayl.or’s…she came off like a bandit with 3 pair.  I got got.

Saturday we did not go to church.  We had service at Bedside Tabernacle. 

Later in the evening the plan was to head to Rye Playland to catch the fireworks…that did not work out at allll.  There was an alert on the highway that the parking lot was full and the cars were lined off the highway exit.  New Roc City was our back up plan.  My god sister joined us.  We played laser tag…we had sooo much fun.  That lil girl is a force to be reckoned with…she was tagging folx left and right.  I believe she was the third highest scorer out of 6…the rest adults..lol  Next was bumper cars…an all around great time.

Sunday we headed upset to my aunt’s house.  Traffic was bearable…thank.you.God.  She’ll be there for the week.  I met my newest lil cousin.  Baby Jaden is sooo precious….I coulda kidnapped him.  I want one.

 

I’ll pick Bird up on Sunday when I return from Va. Beach.  After my post on Thursday I put my money where my mouth is and booked a trip to see my girl….she just earned her ph.d in education and I’m soo very proud of her.  Life is grand.

TGIF…for the memories Thursday, Jul 2 2009

WOO HOOOO!!! That’s how I’m feelin’…its my Friday..my joy runneth over. 

I was chatting with S23 yesterday about travel…I love how she travels.  She is on the go.  Yesterday I updated my FB status and I said money surrounds you with things…not happiness.  I wasn’t trying to be all preachy….my heart just felt like its the good spirit of people…family and friends that really make for happiness.  Many celebrities have the world at their fingertips and are not happy.  Let me ’splain…if you wanna give me a fat check I’ll take it (if I know you!)…but that isn’t where my treasure is.

I didn’t make this one of my goals at the beginning of the year..but it’s going to be my mid-year goal.  I want to create more happy memories with friends.  When I look back at pictures of good times that I’ve had with friends it makes my heart swell…when I look at my things….my gucci bags..ok well that makes me happy too…but you get my point! lol…its different.  I don’t have memories of my material possessions.  I know so many people that are chasing the dollar…they just aren’t laughing…living and loving.

I communicate with some of you off of this here blog.  I want to thank you for your friendship.  I feel blessed to share my madness with you.  Money can’t buy genuine friendship and it’s a good thing cuz I don’t have much.

I commit to Laughing…Living…Loving with my friends and I look forward to meeting you all soon!

Here’s to friends and creating more lasting memories

So what are you getting into this weekend? Hopefully creating great memories!

Hair n’thangs Wednesday, Jul 1 2009

My hair has been on good behavior…I’m pleased.  Now if I could figure how to get my curly fro to last for more than one day as a curly fro.  By day 2 I usually to have to the pin the back or the sides up.

Last Tuesday I purchased a sample set of Miss Jessie’s products.  I’ve yet to use all of them, so the jury is still out.  I also purchased Garnier’s anti humidity hair milk.  I like it.

My amla and indigo arrived in the mail.  I didn’t have time to do anything last weekend, and I’m not sure if I’ll have time this weekend either.  I’m ready for a change.

Ya know what I want for my hair? *squeal* I want a pocahontas type headband with a flower on the side.  Have you seen those?  If so, send me a link.

You can tell me Tuesday, Jun 30 2009

So first off….antibiotics plus no yogurt intake = ick! Why didn’t ya’ll remind me?  hmph

Today I got a blast from the past…tho not so distant past.  This guy im’s me…we’ve never met in person and I’m not interested.  He seems handsome enough…but I’m just not interested.  So he starts chatting and the im’d segwayed to him being unhappy about his weight.  He said its 187 which is fine in my opinion.  So I asked “How tall are you?” he paused for a few…then wrote that he just wants to lower his body fat percentage.  Me: silence…I’ll let that question marinate for a bit.

Thirty minutes later he writes “How tall are you?”  Seriously? I asked you first….lol  I closed out the window.  I’m not responding to that.  So who knows…maybe he’s 4′11 but if he is shouldn’t he say so? I can’t be bothered especially if your insecurities are wall papered on my monitor.  You better act like 4′11 is the best thing going.

I think I may have been a lil evil lately….well what do you expect? Antibiotics…no yogurt…cuz ya’ll didn’t remind me is bound to have some negative side effects.

Last night in class I had a question…instead of letting the Prof answer, a bunch of women starting shouting out random answers in UNISON.  I held up my hand and said “excussse me”….*eyes focused on Prof for his response*.  Vette’s (My new bff in my statistics class) eyes grew…she later said she couldn’t believe I did that.  I’m glad she told me…it really wasn’t my intent to be rude, BUT I’m trying to get a handle on this info and the class is straight unruly.  Bird accompanied me last night.  She whispered to me…”no one has to raise their hands” LOL…she was the most well behaved person there.

Next time I’ll remember I need yogurt…ugh!

Weekend turn-out Tuesday, Jun 30 2009

I’m delinquent..yes I know…I ‘pologize!

My weekend was great tho.  Saturday night we went to R’s Mom’s 60th bday party at a restaurant.  It was nice to see his family members and they got a chance to see how big the girls have grown.  The downside was that Bird started complaining about her stomach hurting…then she had a fever…in like 20 mins.  I had them wrap our food, and I took her home.

Meanwhile back on the ranch…my cousins and their families came in from Maryland.  They were at my place turning it upside down.  I don’t have my air conditioner’s in yet so it was hot as hades.

Sunday we all to breakfast and then to visit my grandmother in the nursing home.  It’s really depressing, but she got to see her grandchildren that she’s never met.  Then they were back on the road with T in tow.  Yup…T is in Mary Land.  Not quite…she called me 5 times yesterday…for nothing.  I got her a cell phone…she kept asking me how many minutes she had.  I suppose thats a good thing…because if my cell phone bill looks like a lotto winnings check she’s gonna get cut.

What’s interesting is that T barely wanted to give me a hug before she left.  She did not give Bird a hug and I didn’t force her to.  Bird was kinda like watev anyway.  I wish I could push the accelerator on these hormonal changes.  She’ll be there for 4 weeks.  My cousin’s husband is a math teacher and he’s going to give her some much needed tutoring. 

When she gets back the plan is to send them both to ATL for quality time with god-mommies and Aunties.

I have never been child-free like that….not sure I’ll know what to do with myself!

Let Roscoe tell it Friday, Jun 26 2009

Last night watching the news reports of MJ’s death

Bird: So there’s two Michael Jackson’s?

Me: No there’s only one

Bird: No…there’s a brown skinned Michael Jackson and a white Michael Jackson

Me: *sigh*

Tuesday evening at dinner for T’s graduation

Me: Grandma (R’s mom) is turning 60 tomorrow.

Bird:*In total amazement*  She’s only 59??? I didn’t know she was that young.  I thought she was like 82!

I explained that because Grandma is sick (cancer) she looks older now.  I was amazed that at her age she thought 60 was young.

The stuff that comes out of this girls mouth I can’t make up.

It’s too early… Friday, Jun 26 2009

..for alla dis…I forgot my iphone this morning…I’m going thru MAJOR withdrawal.

Walking to my office building this morning some guy  unloading a truck said goodmorning..NY’ers never stop when they’re walking…especially in midtown…I returned the good morning over my shoulder…not breaking my stride.  10 seconds later the strap on my flat sandals broke.  I had to stand there and change into my heeled sandals.  I’m sooo glad that I wasn’t snooty!
