Well helloooooooo blog!
It seems as if it's been ages since I had a desire, the time, and substance to write. With that being said, there's no way I can begin to update you on everything that has happened since I last wrote. 30 has proven thusfar to be wonderful. :) In a few weeks I'll be celebrating my birthday again and I'm really excited. I sincerely enjoy the wisdom that comes with each year of experience. Anywho... I figure I'll dabble in a few topics and see where my mind flows.
Shacking
First and foremost, would you believe that Usher and I are living together? Wait...can you believe first of all that we're still together? lol It's been what...5-6 years? Wow! Time really is flying right on by. Now back to this shacking thing. I don't know what happened to my morals. lol You KNOW my parents almost had a full grown deer when I told them I was moving in with Usher. It was just something about being 30. I've always had this idea that when I'm thirty, I'll finally be "really grown" and I was gonna do what the heck I wanted to do. My first order of business was to see what was up with Usher. I figured we'd move in...see what it's like...then I was gonna be like..."aight homie, time to put a ring on it."
So far it's going really well. I'm still freaked out about having to share my bed, so we don't sleep together. I thought that he was gonna think that was weird but he's totally cool with it. We both still have our space, while still sharing space. It's the best of both worlds if you ask me! Speaking of sharing my bed...
Terrorizing
I am so terrified that I have somehow acquired bed bugs. No, I haven't seen them...or the nasty fecal matter they show on pictures on the internet. But I promise you something is up. 3-4 times a week I wake up with hive-like whelts or mosquito looking bumps. Sometimes there are red spider looking bites on me or small bumps. I dunno what the heck is going on, but I know I'm sharing my bed with something. I've shaken out my bed, flipped the mattress up and looked super hard. I wake up at three in the morning, click the lights really fast and look on my sheets and see ....NOTHING.
Usher thinks I'm crazy. Apparently, he's not getting bit. Even when he comes to sleep in my room when I'm not there. So I guess I'm just making up pretend bites huh? I literally have a hard time sleeping because I really think the bed bugs ware coming to get me. I hate being itchy and swollen. Ugh!
Slimming
On a good note, I've been losing weight! *insert numerous applause and accolades* That's right, your girl has been hitting the gym all year. I'm still big...but I'm looking better and better in my clothes. lol I have about 22 more pounds to go before I'm satisfied. Wish me luck!
Working
Did I tell you I got a new job? Hooray! I'll be honest, it's not as cushy as the cancer place. I actually have to work here. *sheesh* But it's a good honest living. I'm grateful for it too. I've officially been here since the beginning of the year. There's this one chick that needs a good backhand to the face, but other than that, I like it here. Hopefully I can stay here until I'm ready to leave. Here's hoping!
Until next time...

New Year in June!
Happy New Years!
Okay, maybe not...but it's the first time I've even BEEN on this blog since 2011 started. What happened? I remember coming to read/write/peruse blogs many times a day. Now it's a miracle if I remember that I have one. Life has definitely changed. Unfortunately I can't talk about it now because I'm super busy at work. But I just wanted to say HELLO BLOG! I'll try not to forget about you. I'll be back to write soon. I have so much to tell. Bye!

30
Can you believe that I'm 30?? Me! The big Three- Ohhh.
I'm older than my parents were when they had me. And they were old.
I'm older than my 6th grade teacher was when she taught me. And she was old.
I'm older than any of the ages I used to put down on my MASH game.
Do you remember MASH?
I still like to play that game sometimes. It's amazing how over the years, your occupation, husband, income, children, and car choice all change. The older you get, the more you realize that 70,000 isn't a whole lot of money. It's a good salary...but c'mon...I'm asking for millions these days. lol And a model as an occupation. Really? I'm 5'2 on a good day. I have no chance. lol
Anywho... lately I've been taking a long look at my life. The good, bad, and ugly. It's true what they say. Somehow, turning 30 has made me want to grow up a bit. No i'm not gonna grow a stick up my butt and stop eating fruit loops. I'm just saying that I'm starting to see things a lot different now. I feel like I've made enough mistakes and lucked up on enough good stuff to know what I'm doing now. I'm finally getting the big picture and thinking about my future. I've finally settled on who I really am and what I really want out of life. I also know exactly what I don't want and won't take anymore. I feel great!
I've only been 3o for 2 months, but Lord knows I forsee greatness in my future. I am open and ready for blessings and miracles. I'm excited about using my past experiences to get me through future setbacks and tests. I just really feel like these next 10 years are going to be the best EVER!
I guess we'll see huh! :)

Another beautiful Friday
I’m missing my man like crazy. He’s in Vegas living it up…but he’s still calling me like 4 times a day. I love it. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m staring at boring grey walls at work, I’d feel almost like I was there with him. He’s keeping me up to date with everything and I love him for it. I’m ready for him to come home though. I miss him a lot.
I need a hug. L
Other than that, I’m in a really good place. Today is my dad’s birthday. Hooray! I soooo love my daddy. He’s a bit depressed because of his whole job situation, but he should be working next week, which is good. Maybe our celebration today, followed by starting work should lift his mood. It’s funny how much we long to take days off when we’re working too many days…and long to work when we have too many days off. Eh. Life is funny that way. During summer, we complain that it‘s too hot…and are ready for cooler days. In the winter, we complain that it’s too cold, and we’re rushing summer again. We are constantly unsatisfied creatures…even when we get what it is we think we want.
I personally think it’s because we’re always trying to fill a void that can’t be filled without spiritual intervention. Anywho… I digress. *stepping off the first step of the soapbox*
I have no idea where we’re going tonight…but it should be fun. And it will take my mind off of Usher.
Today is also my friend Tiff’s 30th birthday. Go Tiff! She has some things planned for us tomorrow. Not sure what…but we can’t go wrong with a girls day. The older I get, the more I enjoy hanging with my girls. I’m just glad I even have girls! I’ve always been kind of a loner my entire life…and the only friends I had was pretty much guys. Of course the older I get…the less guy friends I have. But I’m totally okay with that. Anywho… I’m sure we’ll have a blast celebrating with Tiff tomorrow and before I know it, Sunday will be here.
I have to sing Sunday, which means my late night with Tiff is going to be a mess for me that early Sunday morning. I’ll make it though. I’m glad I can sleep in Monday.
Do you know I’ve been waiting for this holiday for two months!! I miss my friggin PTO days. I’ve had to work 3.5 straight months without it. I think we should invent another holiday to put in between Jan and May so that I can take off from work doggonit!
Speaking of the holiday… I’m definitely praying for the families that have lost loved ones in the Service. May God Bless us all!

WEEK ENDING
So I see friday has snuck up on me again.
I am not mad at that. I'm enjoying this role reversal. My week days are flying by and I'm actually able to take my weekends nice and slow. Amazing isn't it? This weekend is probably the last weekend I'll be able to say that. With next week comes a slew of activities. I'm looking forward to them and dreading them all at the same time.
BUDGETING
With the sun making it's wonderful appearance for longer this time of year, everyone and their mama is planning a cookout, a getaway, a b-day party, and yada yada yada. Um... I just got back to working so I'm not really ballin right now. Can we please stay in somewhere and play a relaxing game of Uno? Checkers anyone? All of this clubbing and eating out is wearing my pockets down to the lint. I've been trying to keep to a budget, but I tell you it's hard. Usher's hands are still in my pockets. Sure, when he gets some mula I'm sure to return the favor...but dang chile... I'm trying to save. I did pretty good earlier this year. I had a nice chunk of change. I was so excited. Thinking about how much I could save before my big day. I was super crunk! But then my car had other plans for the money. I spent an obscene amount of my savings keeping my car in good shape. *sigh* Well at least I had it to spend right?
PARTYING
Ya'll know in 2 months, your girl will officially hit the Big Three - Ooohhh! Yup, I am definitely trying to get my grown and sexy on. I've been hype about the upcoming birthday for like...the last 2 years. lol I'm am soooo ready to leave my 2o's behind. Bye bad habits and stupid mistakes. Here I come 30. Improved, Polished, Experienced and ready to go! Lets do it!
Well enough of that. Blogging is tiring. I still have an hour before I get off of work. I need to take a walk around the office and see if I can wake up. Later.

Blogging
Is it 4 o’clock yet? I feel like I’ve been at work for way too long. As much as I love Friday’s because no one is here and I don’t have to do any work, I also realize that I’m really really bored for that same reason…and boredom equals a LONG FRIGGIN DAY!
But it’s all good. I only have an hour and a half to go. I guess I can use this time to do a few updates before jumping right in to the now.
Working
So I no longer work at the Cancer place. After 6 wonderful years… they let pretty much my entire department go. What a sad day. I miss working there. I never knew how cushy I had it until I started looking at other places. I have so many good memories there. I started this very blog while I was at work one day. Man how time flies. I met Usher there too. Yeah we still together. lol What a mess. I don’t know if I could love and wanna run over someone as much as I do him.
Anywho… I was unemployed until Feb. of this year, when I was hired on as a contractor for a Power place. Yup…next time you’re experiencing of a power outage… think of me. Or not. lol
The work here is cool. Don’t see too much potential for friends, but that doesn’t matter as long as the checks keep flowing. Everyone in my department is pretty much off on Fridays (except me of course) so I usually take time to catch up on my gossip, emails, and clean my desk. I guess that’s all I have to say about work.
Dating
As mentioned before… I’m still with ole Usher. Can u believe we’re working on year 5? Woooow! I’m getting old. This relationship has been one heck of a ride. I’m sure there will be more to discuss as the months go by.
Churching
Can you believe that I’m still at that same Church? With the “Pastor”? I can’t. If someone told me that I would still be there…and active…I would have called them a liar and told them their big toe was ugly. Yet…here I am. Still Churching there. I guess the singing got me hooked. I’m on the Praise Team. It keeps me involved and I don’t have time to even think about looking for somewhere else to go. I honestly love being a apart of the Praise Team. I guess that’s why I’m still hanging around. Still don’t like the Pastor that much. She remarried. Did I tell you that? Oh… I have to write about that later. A MESS.
Exercising
No comment.
Gardening
Well, I’ve found a new hobby in gardening. Who knew getting dirt all in your nails and hair while sweat pops of your face and bees buzz around was fun? I learn something new about myself all the time. Last year we had so much fun watching our small pitiful plants bloom into flowering beauties that we decided to do it again. This year I have calla lilies and vincas. *swooning* I luuuuv plants. I’m sure I’ll take some pictures and post them.
Leaving
Okay… I’m tired. I gotta work up to typing the way I used to. My fingers hurt. *frowning*
Till next time…

Re-United
It literally took me 15 minutes to remember what my password for blogspot was. When I was finally granted access to my old blogs, my heart fluttered.
Am I really going to try this again?
Yes. Yes I am!
HELLOOOOOOOO BLOG WORLD! Oh how I've missed you. So much has changed. So much is the same. Both would have made great posts that I could look back on years from now. Nevertheless... I'm trying to pull a Jordan right now. Hopefully my comeback will be smooth and successful. Time, as always...will tell. :)
Later!
