Over it Wednesday, Oct 7 2009

The past couple of days have been really emotional for me.  I’m guess it’s ’round that time.

The staff there were super accomodating and friendly.  I would absolutely go back.  The views made my jaw drop and I pinched myself a couple of times.

Weekend turn-out Monday, Aug 17 2009

Saturday

Last week I agreed to sit on the pulpit this Sabbath. OMG! Nerves?? Baaaaad! I rehearsed my part ova and ova and ova and ova. I TRIED to smile…my Aunt said I should. Thankfully, it went over well and I didn’t pass out cuz that woulda been REALLLLY embarassing. Speaking in front of 600 ppl is no joke…even it IS just 10 seconds.

Weekend Turn-out Monday, Aug 10 2009

My girls are home!!!!! They haven’t even gotten on my nerves yet   I picked them up from the airport on Saturday.  I was uber happy.

Surge
I sent out a text to 4 girlfriends posing the question…press or wear a curly fro for the boat ride.  Three to One responded curly…well that didn’t happen.  With all of my other preparation I didn’t have time to twist and curly so I blew it out and flat ironed it.  That was pretty exciting to “see” it.  I thought, and the girls agreed…that it has really grown.  I’ve not seen it out since late March.  I curled it and then pin curled it so it could set for a bit.

CP Time
Boarding time for the boat was 11:45pm.  How come they didn’t BEGIN boarding until like 1:00 am????? 

Dress to impress
There was one woman in particular that is my all time hero.  She must have confidence that the galaxies can’t even contain.  She wore a white lace bustier, with what looked like the bottom panty to a white bikini and…wait for it………………….wait……………………..a pink TUTU….yup….she sure did.  She also had on a white garter.

The Fall
Fall is what my hair did….HARD…I might add.  By the end of the night everybody was looking at me and shaking their head…lol.  One girl said you look like Joan…I decided to take that as a compliment! lol  I wish I took a before pic.  This was my last dance.

Good Times
I had a banging headache for most of the night, but I enjoyed the company.  The bday girl had a blast.  I’m happy for her…she deserved it.

I got home at 6 a.m. and had to be up at 10a.m. to get ready for class.  That won’t be happening again any time soon.

Randomness Wednesday, Aug 5 2009

My Aug 8th party is pink and white.  My Aug 22nd party is all white.  I hate that.

I played in my make-up last night.  I need much more play time…lol

Insomnia is back.

I went to the gym…early this AM.  It’s been a minute.  I didn’t stretch.  I’m soooooooo sore.

Alot of prayers are being answered.  Its a joy to highlight them in my book!

I’ve OFFICIALLY started to study for the lsat.  I need a head start considering my fall and spring course load.

I’m going to register in April to take it in June.

Isn’t that right around the corner???

I start my 2nd summer class on Friday.

My mom called me type A…again..last night. 

The summer is over…finito…not that we ever REALLY had one.

I saw Mr. K recently…he said I lost my butt…I agree *eyes stretched*.

How tragic.  I hate when that happens.

The girls were supposed to hook up with TBS…she had to cancel this go round.

I don’t particularly care for ATL, but I think I’m going to apply for a school out there.  I have alot of friends there. I wouldn’t be lonely.

I think I may be homesick in NC.  I’m sure I’d get over it in time.  I hope.

If you gonna pray why worry…if you gonna worry why pray.  Right?

Sometimes men are wayyyy worse than women when it comes to relationships that are bad for them.

I do not have an all white outfit and I DON’T wanna buy one.

I’m hosting a RHOA shindig tomorrow night….can’t WAIT!

AR Gal had a good idea wit them shirts.  I’d wear one…lol

I miss them girls SILLLLLLY!

I haven’t worn those suede magenta shoes yet…I don’t know what to wear them with.  If these chicks let me pick my own colors to wear to they parties MAYBE I could!  I’m lyin’…I ain’t hardly wearing them shoes to a party on my first go round.

My chance to make it to the beach went right out the flippin’ window on Sunday.

I can’t WAIT for Cancun.  There will be 4 of us.  Easy breezy gals…no drama.

I’m ready to plot another.

I’m sooo glad those journalists were released.  I can’t imagine the agony for the families.

I watched More to Love last night.

My cat is needy.  Have you EVER heard of such?

Hooking up after work with some of my fav girls.  That’ll be fun.

Moses and I are trying to re-schedule.

I’m not calling it a date, BUT I would like to do more dates during the day.  

I’m challenging myself.  For a week, I will not vent/complain/seek counsel from anyone else other than God.  This may seem trivial, but I’d like to see how this works out.  Keep me in line.

My favorite scent right now is Pink Sugar

I can really tell the difference with the henna.  I don’t plan to use Indigo again.  Regular semi perm is just fine for me.

Its HUMP DAY!

Who’s next?

Cheaper to keep her Tuesday, Aug 4 2009

….well them.  Since the girls have been gone I’ve been shopping in stores and online like a mad person.  Real random too…spices…sheets…make-up.  I don’t have enough to occupy my time with school being over..for now and the girls being done.  I MISS THEM LOADS!! The cat is getting on my nerves. 

Did you know that Bath and Body Works is having a really good sale?  Went there last night and loaded up.

When I got home I made fried chicken and jasmine rice w/salad…mmmm.   I also watched Ch.ris.Ro.ck.  He is WILD.

This was one of my buys. 

I’m going to experiment tonight.  I have a bday party to attend Sat nite….and the following Sat nite…and the following Sat nite.  I’m really not looking forward…especially to this one.  It’s a boat ride.  When I’m ret tuh go…I’m ret tuh go.  It’s one my closest friends so I feel compelled to.

Catch-up Monday, Aug 3 2009

Wednesday

I had to report to jury duty on Wednesday.  I was soo looking forward to it as a mini-vacation.  My book *check*  Music *check* comfortable clothing *check*.  I can go to bed later and wake up later…*check*. They normally keep you 3 days and then release you if you don’t get called.  My name was called on day 1 and I was dismissed within 2 hours.  I was pissed…lol  My grandiose plans of low pressure and low stress out the window.

Tampa Tuesday, Jul 21 2009

I spent my weekend in Tampa and a grrrrrreat time.  It sucked coming back…literally, but I won’t focus on that.  I met my god-brother’s wife and quickly came to ADORE her!! Phew! Her lil girls are beautiful and I could just eat them up.  I’m really happy he has a good woman.

We stayed at the In.tercon.tinental hotel.  It was nice…business oriented..which I knew, close to the airport, but far from where everyone else was staying.  We were up at 4:30 am and arrived in Tampa at 10 am-ish.  My god-brother Rok and his fiancee picked us up.  I didn’t rent a car so I was at the mercy of someone picking me up and dropping me off.  I thought she was lovely. We went straight to church.  After service we headed back to their house where lunch was being prepared for friends and family.  There were about 30-35 people there.  I was able to connect with friends that also came in from out of town that I haven’t seen in a long time (although we’re all in NY…shame).

We ate, we laughed…the kids ran around..and I observed.  I watched her…her family…how they interacted together.  I kept thinking I REALLLLLY like this girl.  After some folx started leaving she had an opportunity to sit down and put her feet up…and she just smiled.  Then she said..”I love this“.  Her friend questioned…and she replied “family is here…we’re laughing…I love family…I wish it could always be like this“.  I related to her.  I actually think we’re similar in a few ways. 

By 6:00 I was ret to go.  I was so tired and just wanted to lay down.  They were planning to go to the church and finish decorating.  Rok took me to the hotel, then said he’d come back for me so that we could all go to the church.  I said ok, but I wondered how he could pull that off since my hotel really was out of the way.

Once I got in the room I was ready to collapse! I told Bird that I was going to take a nap…she suggested that I read a book instead..lol.  That was at 6:45pm. I woke up at 12:36am to the shrill of my cell phone, completely disoriented.  Needless to say Rok didn’t come back for me.  He called to apologize which was unnecessary.  Then he said the unthinkable.  The wedding was later at 3:00 pm.  He arranged to have someone pick me up, but she had to come get me at 9:00am.  I was near tears.  There was no way I could get up at 7:30 and wear a dress and those shoes for hours before the wedding.  I didn’t want to wear reg clothes and then have to lug my other clothes around.  Nope.  There had to be another way.  He said it would cost me a grip to take a cab.  Oh well….a grip may have to be paid cuz there’s just no way.   I needed some down time.

The next morning we took our time getting up…we ate breakfast and then hit the roof-top pool.

I met a woman who was there with her daughter from Houston.  This is Bird’s candid shot of me.

We couldn’t stay for long but it was nice to get it in.  The wedding was wonderful…there were definitely a few hiccups, but thats weddings for ya.

Reception…more laughing and dancing

 

Their marriage is in my prayers.  A wedding is nice, but the lifetime commitment is what really matters.  I’m happy for them.

This is my weekend turn-out!

What ya’ll get into?

Weekend turn-out Monday, Jul 13 2009

I made my flight on Friday and things went smoothly.  Overall I had a really good time.  Getting away for the weekend revealed how stressful NY is .  I didn’t have to drive while there  Sitting in the passenger seat for once was like whoa!  Not only that…I just realized that getting from A to B in NY is way more strenous that anywhere else.  It makes me think of that saying “If you can make it here…you can make it anywhere”.

It was good to see my girl and just talk.  I found a church out there that I really liked.  It showed me not to judge a book by its cover.  I tend to initially judge churches by the amount of people there.   This is totally based on my past experiences.  This one proved me wrong and I was so happy. 

Pserendipity made a joke about the way I sound because I’m from NY.  I got a taste of what she was saying listening to the native Virginians. 

When I got back into NY my girl was supposed to pick me up from the airport, she overslept from partying just hours before.  It was ok, my aunt came to pick me up.  Then I set out for my journey upstate to get Bird.  Oh how I longed to be a passenger.  I was so sleepy going and coming back.

By the time we made it home I had done some food shopping..I cooked…twisted my hair and hit the bed.
