I've Been Shot...Someone please call 911!!!

Ok, so maybe I'm being a little dramatic...I didn't actually get shot, but MY CAR DID! So yesterday evening I'm in my house surfing the net and watching MSNBC as usual when I hear my alarm start going off. I go outside to check and I don't see anything...until I walk around the back and see my back windshield on the ground. I am in total and utter disbelief! One of my neighbors (who happens to be an older lady) comes down the street and tells me she saw the whole thing. Apparently, some kids drove up the street, stopped and opened the door and shot my back window out with a pellet gun...go flippin figure! Some dumb ass kids just cost me $250...I hate the future of America! LMAO!

I'm glad I can see the humor in all this today...yesterday...not so much!!! Please beware of the sensitive material below! :-(

My Birthday Week...Fab-u-lous!

Sooo, most people know that my birthday was this past Tuesday, March 25th. Most people also know that Ryann's bday is March 23rd, so I really don't ever celebrate mine because I'm so busy putting together a party for her. Well, this year her bday fell on Easter so her party was the day before. We had her party at a park in Desoto and all my family and friends came...awesome time!

My birthday celebration started on Tuesday. After work...yes work...some of my closest friends and my sister came out to eat dinner with me at Pappadeux's. I ate two lbs. of crawfish and knocked back two swamp things! My poor sister had to drive me home...I had a blast.



Here goes my friends Eddwina, Sean, Tamiqua and me...in case you can't tell, I was almost there!

My sissy, Briona, drove all the way down from Denton to eat with me...loves her!

And then, in an almost unprecedented event....I went out on a Thursday night. I never go out during the week because I'm so dang tired the next day but a couple of friends invited me to a new club....I couldn't resist! And I'm so glad I went, the weather was great and the crowd was grown and sexy. Here go a couple of pics! I was soooo cute, huh?

Tracee, Amber, Gabby and me....

I was great the next day for the most part (with only three solid hours of sleep) but on the way home....OMG, I was dozing off in traffic. Thank God it was Friday!!!

TUESDAY, MARCH 4TH

Hey!!! Tomorrow looks like it will be the best day of this week for two reasons...Vote/Caucus for Barack Obama and Rip the Runway '08.







Everyone...please go to your precinct tommorow to vote (if you didn't early vote already) and then go back at 7 pm to Caucus.

And then at 9 pm CT tune into BET for the 2008 Rip the Runway! My girl New-New (Lauren London) will be hosting along with Nelly. Loves it!!!

Words & Actions

Heeeeey! I know I haven't posted since Christmas and I don't want to hear any crap about it (Shauna). I have been very busy with this thing called life but I did promise myself (and some other people) that I would try to blog more. At least once a week...it is very therapeutic.

I have recently had some really crazy things happen in my life which have gotten me thinking about how important our words and actions truly are. Everyone that reads this blog is at least 21 years or older so this should be relevant. At what age do you start to really feel comfortable enough in your skin to really be yourself? For some of us, we get to that point with age and others get there through experiences. For me, once I became a mother, I realized I don't owe anyone anything besides the truth and I really stopped caring what people thought about me so much. I think there is a huge chunk of freedom in getting to this point because at the end of the day no one can be mad at you for being yourself. Like my pastor says, "Noone has a heaven or to hell to put you in" besides God.

In essence, I'm saying don't feel like you have to lie, cheat, or lose sleep concerning yourself with other people. Live your life, do you and you will be free. I know this blog was random, but I'm growing so I have a lot of random thoughts. And this is my damn blog so I can type whatever I want. Lol!

The Spirit of Christmas

Ok, so I actually found time to blog today. I am in a classroom and I have an hour break. For some reason Christmas just feels different this year. For once in my lifetime, I can't think of anything to really ask for. I don't really need anything....except some new boots, Tory Burch flats, a vaccum cleaner....just kidding! I really just feel the need to give to people that I really appreciate this year. And to be a blessing to someone else.

At my church we are doing an Angel Tree that gives gifts to children of parents that are incarcerated. This was such a blessing for me to just be a part of because I grew up with my father in prison and there was never a program like this. If it was, my retarded Daddy just never got on the list....Sorry I got a little off track. Anyway I felt great joy to go and pick up some of the items that my two Angels, Desiree and Tayvia had on their lists. I really want to do something else for someone less fortunate so I guess I will look more into that before the holiday season is over.

Maybe I'm just growing up but I really think Christmas is about being with family and being a blessing to someone else!!!!! I am leaving on Sunday to go and be with my family in Marshall so if anyone wants to give me my boots or vaccum cleaner before I leave, please feel free to call me. Lol!

JUST WONDERING

1. Why do we wish for our kids to start talking and then as soon as they start we constantly tell them "Be quiet, you talk too much"?

2. Why do we only appreciate the little things when they are the only things we have left?

3. Why does the day fly by so fast when you're on the couch watching TV but the slowest when you are at work?

4. Why does George Bush keep vetoing the bills to help insure poor children? Is he Satan?

5. Why do we stand in the way of our own dreams in life?
