fashion and beauty and random boots, fashion 6:36 pm
….and I LOVE boots!!! Have you ever tried on a pair of shoes or boots and loved them so much you got mad??
I tried on these boots and I was PISSED!!!! The pic doesn’t show it clearly, but I love the stitching on this boot.
Then I tried on these…and OH MY GOODNESS I was LIVID! Suede and patent leather…wooooo!
I did say x-mas was going to be very small right? *sigh*
Ialso purchased another simple black ankle boot. Look…I did what any other sane fabulous woman would do! hmph
Jesus take the wheel and life and relationships adultery 10:29 am
..forget a weekend wrap-up. It’s been a lil crazy back on the ranch. Where do I begin?
I had a great time with da Principal on Saturday, we really enjoy each other’s company and have great conversation. When we parted I started on my low low low…u know cuz I ain’t Kelly if a low don’t follow a high *sucks teef* All day Sunday I tried to concentrate on the research paper that I should have started earlier in the week. Being the expert procrastinator that I am I had been working so hard I decided to take a time out and catch up on “Private Practice”. In this ep, this guy was carrying on two independent lives, married two women, and they both were pregnant. They both find out and are devastated. One of the women goes into labor. At the hospital she’s screaming in pain and crying in heartbreak. She’s yelling “No! I can’t do this…he was supposed to be here!” At that moment my dam broke. I was bawlin’, snottin’ and cryin’.
It felt like yesterday. I was 9 months pregnant. After a very heated argument and reconciliation..R (my ex-husband) still looked so solemn. It was 10 pm and we were sitting in the living room with the lights out…only the light from the lamp posts shone through the blinds. Though the words came out of my own mouth I looked around to see who said that. I asked “have you been with anyone?” Dammit if I didn’t shock myself. He lowered his head and said yes. I thought a truck slammed into my chest. I got up, slipped into my shoes, grabbed my phone and left.
I didn’t know where I was going. When I couldn’t walk anymore I.crawled.on.the.ground.crying…9 months pregnant…10 o’clock at night. I managed to call my mom. My thoughts were all over, I didn’t know what to do. ”Do I make him leave now? Should I let him be in the room with me? I can’t go to work tomorrow! I can’t!” Mommy: Get off the ground!!! go home RIGHT now! Go in your room and lay down! “But I don’t know what to do” Mommy: You don’t have to make any decisions right now.
That was the best thing ANYONE could have told me at that moment.

Jesus take the wheel and life christmas, economy, thanksgiving 10:26 am
Alright ya’ll. What steps are you taking to insulate yourselfs? Are you cutting back in some areas? Brown bagging it to work? Doing your own mani/pedi? Fellas..barbershop every other week instead of weekly…doing your own spit shine???
I’m a bit shook now. Is it all going to hell in a handbasket? I feel like calling a family meeting to discuss who’s moving in with who? *sigh* Chrismas?? puhleeese…its only the kids this year..and not everybody’s kid either…my 2 and my 3 god-daughters. In fact my girls have been so spoiled in past years Imma just re-wrap some of them toys they musta forgot about…we recycling this year. Christmas is going green!
I have an aunt that was employed with JP Mor.gan Cha.se for almost 20 years. She survived 2-3 layoffs, before she was offered her severance package in 2006. She had a highly technical managerial position. She STILL does not have a job. Back then it didn’t seem like it would be difficult for her to rebound, but the way the market is now..I don’t know.
I was hesistant about committing to a gym membership because of the additional monthly expense, but I’m going to do it. It’s a matter of health and I’ll just look at some areas where I can cut down. The thing is…although I like nice things, I think I live pretty frugal as it is. I have the family cable package…no premium movie channels. I’ve already cut back on my mani/pedi…I’ve been chipping nails left and right. I do my own wash and set. I don’t frequent the movie theatre often, I rent from redbox, its .99 per movie. My credit card debt is about 2k. Gas prices haven fallen quite a bit, so I’m not pissed anymore. I can get gas for 2.34, and I blog for free!
What about Thanksgiving? Will there be less trimmings? In the midst of these constraints, do you find ways to give?
…this afternoon. After I gave him my medical history he seemed wiped out. Then he asked “is there ANYTHING else I need to know?”
I definitely have an enlarged thyroid. He also thinks it may be underactive. He didn’t seem to think that it should affect my sleeping habits. He wants bloodwork and an ultrasound on my thyroid. Apparently this condition is when the autoimmune system attacks the thyroid.
Jesus take the wheel and life and scripture 10:34 am
I started to post about how unstable I’m feeling with this assignment. Yesterday I felt like I had a handle on it, but the more research I do knowing that time isn’t on my side, the more overwhelmed I feel. Instead of focusing on that I’m going to keep a praise on my lips.
I’m blessed to have friends that genuinely care about me and my girls.
I’m blessed to understand the power of prayer.
I’m blessed to have all of my needs met and many of my wants without having this degree.
I’m blessed to be in a postion where I can keep taking steps towards fulfilling my dreams.
I’m blessed to know I can cry, but that it won’t last always.
I’m blessed to live in a country where I have liberty.
I’m blessed to have people in my life to whom I can seek counsel.
I’m blessed to have a Heavenly Father who I know loves me in spite of myself.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. Psalms 56:3 (TNIV)
life and school college 3:15 pm
I’m encouraged now, but I was pissed off earlier. Last night I had my midterm evaluation. She presented me with the evaluation sheet that said I was at a B-. I’m not a B- chick…I’m above average. Even when I don’t give something my allll, I’m above average. I told her that a B- is unacceptable, and pointed out that I’ve received A’s on all of the written assignments, and on my last research paper. We go back and forth a bit and then she says “what do you want me to do..change the grade”? DUH! Yes! So she changed it to an A-, she said I need to be punctual..and ranted about something about I need to participate…yeah ok Lady. My final grade will be an A…I’m going to earn the A. I’m probably going to report her. She is incompetent.
Later in class I asked about a component necessary for the next research paper. This research paper is due next Monday mind you. Get this…she said “its in the book”. We have reading assignments that pertain to our research papers that we NEVER discuss in class. This is not the first time she’s said “its in the book”. Let me tell you a secret….shhh….I didn’t buy the book…heck…I ran outta cash, shhh…but that ain’t the point! Is it too much to ask to discuss what we’ve read, especially since it applies to what is necessary for this paper??
So I was all in a tizzy because what she wants to see in the research paper requires serious in-depth research. This paper calls for surveys and questionnaires, case studies, observations, gathering and analyzing data, interpreting results…etc. Now this wouldn’t be a problem had she actually taught one how one goes about getting this info and putting it in a paper. I realized I needed to change my topic to do a good job fulfilling this requirement in a week. I have a new topic now…I haven’t formed my thesis yet, but it’s going to be about adults returning to college. The friggin class is called “Writing Research Papers”..teach that! This is a foundation course that needs to serve me for the rest of my academic life.
Some of my classmates are satisfied with B’s or even C’s, they rationalize that its “just” a 2 credit course. Not the kid…even the more why I should get an A. What I look like allowing a 2 credit course jeopardize my 4.0 GPA?
I have the book now…one my classmates said I could use hers because she’s fine with getting a C+…mmmkay.
Good to know and life customer service 10:42 am
If you’re like me you don’t really care to speak to customer service reps if you don’t have to, but sometimes you just have to. I just called my utility company and these telephone prompts are like multiple choice questions where none of them are right. I needed to ask questions that only a rep could answer….5 minutes….and I was right back where I started…and then it disconnected me….GOODBYE.
I did a search and found this. I followed the steps and in 15 seconds I was on the phone with a rep, it’s like magic…lol. I got my questions answered. Hope this helps you one of these days.
