The pokey will be out and about, so “Click it or Ticket”. Matter of fact I’ve seen them all week in the Charlottesville area.
Happy Tuesday May 22, 2012
It’s been a very long time since I have posted on this blog. I guess my mind has been in a million different directions. I haven’t really been inspired by anything worthy of posting on here. I have been busy with school and my daughter’s basketball. Hopefully I will be back on periodically with things to talk about and pictures to post of myself or things that interest me. So until next time. Stay blessed! Smooches!
Trayvon Martin March 20, 2012
I have been reading, seeing on the news and the internet about Trayvon Martin and I never put the picture of the boy together with the story until the other day. (Because he looked alot younger than 17) This tragedy is just sad!!! It literally makes me sick to my stomach that this is happening. I hope that justice is served. The man appears to be a nut!!!
My heart goes out to Trayvons’ parents, family and friends. May his soul rest in peace.

9 Days til Christmas December 16, 2011
Are you ready for Christmas? Well if not we only have 9 more days left. I know for myself I will be hitting up this stores this weekend and finishing up the people on my Christmas list. This year I’m on a tight budget, so everybody and there mother isn’t getting a gift. Even moms isn’t getting the $300 gift she got last year. Gifts will be more from the heart than the pockets. So are you finish your Christmas shopping?
my thoughts November 16, 2011
Isn’t it funny how the older your get the more you start to see things clearly. Yesterday I was hit with a letter from someone from my past that I had been in love with for a long time and it was no secret that he treated me terrible. He wasn’t abusive but our relationship was very unhealthy. We had been friends since we were children and dated in high school but we ran into each other when we matured and formed a relationship. To make a long story short it wasn’t the ideal relationship. The relationship eventually got out of hand and we became like drugs to each other over 4 years. I would leave and constantly run back falling victim to the sweet talk and fleshy pleasures. Then one day after we’d spent time together, to find out that he turned around and spend the next day with someone else I’d finally had enough. It was like i’d hit rock bottom. I didn’t want to deal with the false hopes and leading me on to think that we could have a future together. So for 2 years I cut him out of my life. He always remained in my thought process and in my heart. I mean how couldn’t he. We essentially grew up together. Although those feelings of wanting to be with him had faded I still kept him close to my heart. Regardless of the ill relationship that we had first and foremost he was a dear friend and I missed that relationship more than the physical part. He took care of me and my daughter when nobody else could. I appreciated that. I reached out to him and found out where he was located and started writing just to see how he was doing and that friendship was rekindled. Never did we speak of our tumultous relationship and I’d moved on and in my heart forgave him of the way he treated me. I still have no desire to rekindle a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend with him but recently I receive a message from him apologizing for how he was “such an asshole” to me and never thinking of my feelings. How he appreciated so much that I was never nagging him and I was always the calm in the storm. It’s crazy because as a woman you always think well what did I do wrong. In a nutshell he let me know that it was never me and that he wasn’t ready to be the man that I needed. Ladies to actually hear that for a first and it be in so much detail made me feel good but not in a arrogant or a I told you so way. I appreciated his honesty and him being able to come out after all this time and say that. It’s crazy because people really do come in our lives for a reason and the older I get I see that. I may not understand why some people are in my life but eventually it comes to me. What really touched me in the letter was that he hoped that he hadn’t hindered how I look at men. I can’t say that it was only him but the men that came before and after him. I have a hard time trusting men, because just when you think you can trust someone, you can’t. Which I know that issue started with my father. I keep my distance with him because he can not be trusted to keep his word. Trust is something I have to work on and I know when the right person come along I’ll be able to trust him.
Isn’t it crazy how people come out of the woodworks??? Or some people say skeletons fall out of your closets!!! Everything happens in life for a reason!
Bucket List November 2, 2011
One day when I was working out at the gym in the theater room they were showing the movie Bucket List. At first glance I was like they had to be playing some old wack movie while I am working out. Turns out that the movie was actually decent. It stars Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. Before this movie I’d never heard of a bucket list but basically it’s like a to do list before you die or to some people whatever time frame. Sitting here today I was thinking about somethings that I want to accomplish with in the next 12months starting today. What better name to call it but a Bucket List. I don’t have alot to put on it but it’s just a few major things I want to focus on.
- 2012 Toyota Camry
- Cruise
- obtain a passport
- Salary Increase/career change
- take family photos
- dean’s list
- dog or 2
- lose a few inches
So now it’s time to just focus and get those things accomplished. Stop talking about it and do it. By this time next year I want to have all of those things checked off. To say I’m either in the process of accomplishing it or it’s completed! Wish me luck!

my thoughts September 19, 2011
Hey young world! Hope your Monday is going better than mine. I’ve got a headache out this world that I’m on the verge of making a doctors appointment for. I am sneezing and blowing my nose every few seconds. This weekend I must say was draining and a bit emotional. Trying to get myself out of that funk. As much as I love shopping it was a bittersweet. I’ve let my weight get so out of hand shopping has become rather depressing. So therefore even though I had money to shop I brought not one thing. Really need to get on my grind find a solution that works for me. This weekend I had to put more money into this vehicle of mine thats barely worth it. Another year of payments and then it’s time to invest in something else brand spanking new, no miles because I ride!
So on a sweeter and more exciting note my first baby girl turns 18 this weekend, my niece Imari! I’ve watched her grow up and help take care of her and though I get on her and I love her and only want the best for her. I want the best for all my babies (Makay, Arianna, and Gia)! Birthday shouts out to Uncle Kevin (R.I.P), Aunt Rose, Bob and many more.
I pray everyone has a blessed day!
