Who dat!

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...
