Random Wrap Up

Here is some Random to wrap up the week:

Yesterday was my dear friend Kerra's Birthday.
There was a little shindig for her.

I also got to meet the lovely Megan of ASouthernFemme Blog.
She is lovely.
And she has the most beautiful skin of anyone!
I enjoyed my time with her.
And I hope to get together with her again soon.
She has such a passion for blogging that it inspired me to pursue more outlets with my own little blog.

And If you are in Birmingham or somewhere close by.
You should come to This event done by Megan herself!
I will be there.
She will be there.
And I would love to meet you!


Ok Other random things:

I love this movie:
I watch it all the time.
I just pop it in while I am doing the laundry or cleaning.
and sometimes I actually pop it in to watch it instead of as background noise.
Have you seen it?
Do you love it?
I dont know why I love it so much.
Maybe bc these kids just drop everything to find paradise?
I dont know.
But I do.

I also have been wanting to watch this:



I love Martin Scorsese.
Especially Gangs of New York.
but
This one is good too.

Also, I was in CVS yesterday and this song was playing.
Now it is my new jam.
totally random.

Ok that is all.

Have a happy and lovely weekend!

Peace,

Long Weekend

(photo from here)

I am heading to Nola this weekend (New Orleans).

Thank God.

I need a break.


Nola.
I have never been.
I think it is going to be spectacular.
I am headed down there with some of my dearest friends.
To eat
and shop
and laugh

It will be splendid.


I will be back on Monday.
Hopefully with some relaxed nerves.

Peace,

Harsh Reality

Shiznit.
It is almost bathing suit season.
Ugh.
Damn.

I have to get it together.

I tell myself this everyday but somehow I just keep putting it off.

I am turning 25 this year.
I plan on having a big bash.
A weekend at a resort.

I should be bathing suit ready
so that I can kick 25 in the butt when it hits in June.

Here is my incentive at the moment:

(anthropologie Rainbow Drip two piece)

I would really like to wear this on my 25th bday.
And feel like I rock it.

But that is going to take some work.

And If I don't work.
Then I will resign myself to wearing some old high school bathing suit that I pull out of the back of my dresser drawer.
Who wants that when they turn 25?

Peace,

Thoughts for This Monday

It is a feat to keep your mouth shut when 'you have nothing nice to say' believe me, I have been practicing it this weekend.

It also makes for lack of conversation topics. I successfully pulled out Tiger Woods as a topic and the theory of Eugenics all within the same afternoon. But not gossiping and not being hateful is way more satisfying than doing both even if there is more silence.

Doing laundry isn't a problem. Putting it away is.

Realizing your next step in life is fantastic.

Realizing that change is about to happen because you know what is next is scary.

I saw someone who was toxic to my life this weekend. And I was reminded that it is a Blessing and a Flippin Fantastic thing that they are not part of my life.

I was also reminded that the pain they caused me was worth it to see God's care for me through the situation with them. I am on the stronger, better end of that stick.

I need to invest in a vacuum.

I really need a non-chip top coat that works. My nail polish chips like Whoa.

I watched a PBS documentary on the Kennedy's (if you didn't know, I am obsessed with PBS) I never really realized that Ted Kennedy was the only son/brother to remain alive through a lifetime. That had to be really sad for him and a really really hard burden to bear.

I am paler than a ghost. Going to get sprayed tanned this week. I may regret it... we'll see.

Luke 12 is teaching me so much right now. So many good things in that chapter.

I need a new cardio routine ASAP.

I hope your Monday is going swell.

Happy Weekend

Friday.

you little minx, you.
Always so fleeting.
Always a tease.

But I will take what I can get.

This weekend I am:
Going to see Shutter Island.
Running (although I shouldn't on my knee)
Going to body pump (I missed all week)
Sleeping in.

What I wish was happening this weekend:

That I would wake up tomorrow morning with hair like this:


This dress ready to wear out for the day:

(dress by tibi)

With these boots:

(Luchese Mad Dog boot)


With A forecast of 75 degrees and sunny skies.


I wish.

As Mick Jagger put it:

" You can't always get what you want... You get what you need."

Have a Lovely Weekend.

Peace,

Long Hair Rants

This is me with Long hair.
With my friend Bethany.

I miss my long hair really badly today.
Long hair is really easy.
And my short hair is not.
I liked my short hair the first time I cut it.
but I just got a cut last week and I'm not digging it.
I'm sure it looks the same to everyone around me.
But to me, it looks strange.

I want to grow my hair out.
But I don't have the best track record with sticking to the growing-out process.
Kinda like how I didn't have the discipline to wake up at 5:30 to go to running group today.
But that is a whole other lack of discipline issue we can talk about later.

But the hair growth issue.
Have any of you ever made it through the short hair growing out time after you first cut off your long locks?

Is it even worth trying to grow it out?
Maybe I have outgrown the long hair stage of life.
Because, I mean, eventually if I do succeed in growing it out, I will just end up cutting it off at some point.

I am starting to ramble.

Maybe I just need a new hair do, not long perhaps, just something new.

Ugh I really hate my hair today.

I'm done rambling.

Peace,

My Philosophical thoughts on 'Limbo'

Do you ever feel like your life just throws you in limbo and you wake up one day and realize that is where your hanging.
it happened to me today.
I hadn't really contemplated the future of 'me' in a while.
I feel like I have just been living in a muddled cloud of day to day life with no vision of the future.
And because of that I now feel like I am in limbo.
The dictionary defines this state as:

• oblivion: the state of being disregarded or forgotten
• an imaginary place for lost or neglected things

I mean, obviously, I have not been disregarded or forgotten and I am not 'really' lost or neglected.


But I do have this feeling when it comes to thinking about the big picture of my life.
Here is what this slap in the face of limbo made me question this morning:
What am I doing everyday, really?
Where am I really headed?
How do I get out of this limbo state and into a place where I feel the surge of things happening and changing and moving forward?

Do you all ever feel in limbo?

Peace,

Are you sure you dont want this dress...

It is part of the purge that is coming from my recently cleaned out closet.

snatch it up.
It is quite cute.

This little Gem has been sold.

So my car is almost kaput.
It broke down last night.
And I am still waiting for a diagnoses from the dreaded dealership.

It has over 100,000 miles, it has been a good car. A great car actually.
But My dad told me he might be trading it soon.

he told me to look and see what I like.
(really this means, he is probably going to choose what he likes, which is fine.)

But still it is fun to have a reason to look.

My dream Car:

the BMW 5 series in white.
I know that to some of you all this is not a dream car. Some would say a dream car is a Bentley or something of the like.
But this is my dream car. I just love it.
I think it is so classic.
And I love BMW. It is what I drive now and I really am convinced they are the best.

But if I cant have my dream car here are some others I kinda dig.

The Honda Accord
Ok
So everyone drives this
And for good reason
It is a great car.
I would drive it.
But I dont love the look of it.
But I guess I could sacrafice looks for a well made car that is cheap to maintain.

The Volvo S40
I LOVE this car.
LOVE the look
LOVE the ride.
the downside, the tiny backseat.
But I LOVE it.

Volvo C30
I think it so cool looking.
And A little roomier than the S40
But that is all I know about it.

Nissan Murano

Again I don't really know anything about this car, I just think it is good looking


Infiniti FX50
LOVE the way it looks.
And the way it drives.

Toyota Prius

Someone told me that this was a 'Yuppie Fad Car'
I don't know what that means.
And I don't care really.
I like the Prius.
A lot.
I think it is cute.
And it has great gas mileage.
Call me a Yuppie.
I do what I feel.


What are your thoughts?
Have any of you had any experiences with any of these cars, good or bad?

Peace,

Where the Hell are the weekends?

It used to be that my weekdays went by really fast and my weekends seemed to last the perfect amount of time.
Not anymore.
The week creeps bye.
And the weekend literally flies.
This phenomena is literally the most frustrating thing ever!

This weekend we got some snow on Friday.
If you follow me on twitter you now that I didn't really get a snow day like half of my office did and that this royally pissed me off.
(we can save this topic for another post)
So I didn't get to leave till 4.

But I was determined to take Potter out in the snow.
He had never been in the snow before.
And he loved it!

Happy Weekend

Well It is snowing here.
And accumulating.
Something I have never seen in my 5 (or is it 6 now?) years here.

At this moment (12:55) I am still at work.
They have let the children go.
But not the single women.
I thought it was supposed to be women and children first?
Oh well.

My client's office closes at 1pm.
I am hoping then I can leave.

I am going to take Potter out for his first romp in the snow!

What else do I have in store this weekend?
Mardi Gras party tomorrow
and the Mercedes Marathon on Sunday.
Wish me luck in the cold weather!

Oh and Happy Valentines Day to you and yours!

Peace,

Why fight? I will resort to this from now on...

Forget using words.
Now whenever I am upset or mad
I will be resorting to this.

(in my dreams)

Big D's Wrath!

Remember Donquisha?
Yea that is the name of my apartment.
(and the image above is the image that pops up when you google donquisha)
Well Big D is about to get Jank on some Government Ass.

Apparently I have been paying the water bill for apartment B, not D.
And I found this out when, today at lunch, I went home and there was no water when I tried to start up the washer.

So I called the water works company. They said they would send someone right out.
But I know how inefficient these companies can be so I made a note to call back at 3 to ensure someone would be sent out.

Good thing I did!

The lady, after many " oh my my my my my's" told me that I had been paying for apartment B while D, my abode, had never been signed up for water.
I have been bootlegging water, unintentionally.

The phone call lasted about 45 min.
I tried to keep my cool.
But What has apartment B been getting if I am getting their water bill?
You better, for damn sure, be transferring all the money I paid to apartment B's bill to big D.
And you better hustle to get a tech out TONIGHT to get my water turned on.

I am going to be even more pissed if I have to call back again when the technician doesn't show up.

I have no faith in the government.
(and people willing want to rely on the government... get real people!)

Peace,

Unofficial Secretirial Work

I recently moved cubbies at my office. Or as I like to call her Jan.

Jan and I have a love hate relationship.

This is my bosses door from inside my cubbie:

This is Jan:
As you can see there isn't a lot of distance between my bosses office and Jan.
And because of this I am now the unofficial secretary to my boss.
No big deal.
it doesn't bother me.
But I get quite a lot of visitors asking "Do you know where she is?"
"When will she be back"
"What is she doing in there?"
"Is she in there with someone?"

I never have the answers to these questions.
Maybe I should start making things up?

It is the new joke within our little cubbie area.

Peace,
