Weekend wrap-up Monday, Sep 29 2008

Went to church on Saturday…and showed out! Then I was embarassed….lol! Dangit with the age of technology everything is streamed live.  The praise team was awesome and I couldn’t contain myself, when I realized the camera was on I still let it flow.  I must admit during the church procession I felt like all eyes were on me….I have issues…lol

This weekend I caught a few movies on video…Sparkle…I don’t know what the big deal about this movie was….How She Move…I enjoyed….P.S. I Love You….cracked me up, good movie.

Sunday, I did a ton of errands.  I really feel like I need a husband…a wife…something! I’m tired of mopping and lifting heavy loads…cooking, school work, shuttling kids *sigh*  So the bit of downtime I get I always feel guilty about, because theres always so much left undone.

I got a call from T’s friends’ Mom.  She is going to school f/t M-Thurs and wanted to know if I would mind keeping Kay-Kay during the week for her.  Apparently, her mom lives with them but she’s moving to Canada for a couple of months.   She could go to a relative’s house but by the time she gets picked up its after 11pm, and then they’re out of the house by 6:45, and school doesn’t open until 7:30, and she doesn’t have a car.   I agreed to do it, we’ll discuss it in more detail this weekend.  I hope it works out.  I can understand a single mom going to school f/t and just needing some help…heck thats me!

What’s going in ATL…why ya’ll ain’t got no gas???

I Told The Storm Saturday, Sep 27 2008

This is one my favorite songs.  I’m a lover of music…..particularly gospel music. When I’m going through something, music moves me like nothing else can.

I love the lyrics to this song.

Even though your winds blow
I want you to know
You cause me no alarm
Cause I’m safe in his arms
Even though your rain falls
I can still make this call
Let there be peace
Now I can say go away
I command you to move today
Because of faith I have a new day
The sun will shine–I will be okay
That’s what I told the storm!

I told the storm to pass
Storm you can’t last
Go away – I command you to move today
Storm – When God speaks
Storm – You’ve got to cease
That’s what I told the storm!

Wind stop blowing!
Flood stop flooding!
Lightning stop flashing!
Breakers stop dashing!
Darkness go away!
Clouds move away!
That’s what I told the storm!

Death can’t shake me!
My job can’t make me!
Bills can’t break me!
Diease can’t take me!
Enemies can’t drown me!
Cause God surround’s me!
That’s what I told the storm!

Enjoy

Randomness Friday, Sep 26 2008

ER…man, I was so sad last night.  I can’t believe they let Pratt die.  I would have felt much better, if he would have left to chief another hospital than to die this way.  I know its just a show, but I get emotionally connected and last night I grieved.  I’ve cried more watching this show than any other, Dr. Green, his cancer…John and Lucy…they all stabbed up.  I made myself think of him as Mekhi who was a jerk to Malinda…lol…and then all was well.  It was late, I need my rest, and I can’t sleep with all that crap on my brain.  *sigh*  The end of the episode made me wonder.  If your SO died and he prepared to propose, would you want to know?  Would you still want the ring?  I’m not so sure I would.

My mailroom guy is Malik, he’s the best mailroom guy ever!  Really nice and considerate, some things its a lil difficult to understand him because he has a heavy accent..I think he may be nigerian.  Anyway, yesterday we rode the elevator together when I was leaving work.  He asked about my girls, then he asked what my husband does.  I told him I’m divorced and he felt so bad.  Shoo I felt bad for him…I told him I’m fine, its okay..he’s not dead, we’re just not together.  I headed my way, and I thought back to a time when I had wished that my ex was dead.  Not because I wanted to exact some kinda revenge.  It just hurt sooooooo much, that it felt like a death to me, if it has to hurt and feel so bad, I felt like it should only be because of an actual death….*sigh*  I’m so glad I’ve moved beyond that point in my life.  At the time, I couldn’t even imagine what emotional health would feel like.

I tried to have “the talk” with T yesterday.  She got all attitudey.  I asked her if boys seem to be interested in her.  She gasped “No…I don’t know…*agitated* can’t we talk about this when I get older??”  This conversation is to be continued.

Arghhhhh!!!! Wednesday, Sep 24 2008

This has been THE worst morning.  Ten minutes to find my keys when its time to walk out the door, and already 10 mins behind schedule.  Drop girls off at the morning program before school starts.  The corners of my eyes start itching and swelling like hives.  I reach in my purse for hydrocortisone and I DON’T HAVE MY PURSE! I drive back home, grab my purse, and drive to a further bus stop to try and make up time.   Traffic is moving along, great…I just missed a bus but I’m fine, I’m back on track. I get on the bus and my metrocard is denied…like a credit card DECLINED! WTH??? The bus driver tells me that its an invalid card, it must have been reported lost or stolen.  ARE.YOU. SERIOUS???

Weekend wrap-up Tuesday, Sep 23 2008

I.AM.ALIVE!!!!! 

I had a FABULOUS birthday weekend….truly memorable.  I arrived at NY Flying Trapeze School.  I stood at the front desk signing my organs away on this waiver form, and I hear “You didn’t think you were gonna do this without me here did you” It was my friend Erica! Oh I screamed and cried, and gave her the biggest hug!! I’ve not seen in her a year.  I couldn’t believe that she was there.  A few minutes later, my friend J arrived with video cam in tow and amped!!

My entire body is angry with me!  A revolt has taken place and I don’t know when its going to end.  Seriously…I’m sore in the worse way.  I climbed that ladder, I got halfway high, and I started thinking…why did I think this was a good idea???  I reached the top of this teensy tiny lil platform, and I KNOW this is a BAD idea.  WHY DID I WANT TO DO THIS???  The instructor, Zane stood with me on the platform said

“Ok ready”

“NOOO…I’m not ready!!”

“That’s not a question…its a command!!!

“No No NOOOO…I’m not ready!!!”

“That’s not a question…its a command, you have to do what I say!!!

Ready means bend your legs you’re about to jump.  I won’t ready for all dat! LOL….I finally did it and lemme tell ya….its NO joke!  They made me do a back flip…I’ve NEVER done a backflip a day in my life…and that was painfully obvious!! LOL!  It was great.  I’m hoping to get the video and share it.

Afterwards, I met up with my mom, and my girl B.  We ate lunch at one of my favorite spanish restaurants, and then went to see The Family that Preys.  That was an AWESOME movie, great script…all around fantastic.

Saturday night was the party at Zanzibar.  I had a great time with my friends, but I got tipsy, and I felt guilty for being “worldly”.  That’s not my norm, and I’ve been praying alot more, and studying more.  Perhaps I could have chosen another way to celebrate.  Nonetheless, it was great seeing some of my good friends all in the same place.

Sunday was spa day.  The facility was unlike any that I’ve ever seen.  It was fabulous, valet parking, food court, very clean, no shoes worn, they give you a uniform and you wear what looks like a watch.  You use it to open your locker, charge your services and to pay for your food.  My aroma oil massage was very much needed.  I’ve never seen so much booty and bush in my entire life.  I was a bit put off initially by the $45 admission fee, but it was all worth it.  I’ll definitely be visiting again soon.

I have some really great friends.  I have pics from this weekend I’ll share those as soon as I can load them up.
