Tickled P!nk

I'm totally tickled pink with life. Everything is wonderful. I couldn't be happier. God is amazing. Press on when you feel you just can't make it. Always speak positive things into your life. Though negative things may be around you, dwelling on them only changes your mood, not your situation. Through Christ ALL THINGS are possible, that's through Him... not you persuading Him of your edits. Hand Him your agenda and accept His edits. His way is the best way ever.

Work is going well... Friends are doing FANTABULOUS!!! Church is going well (yay Youth Congress) God is truly awesome. The small fire at my house is the devil... but lol... I spoke life into that thing. Repairs will be done in God's time. It's Him. I love Him dearly. I'm so glad. He's my #1 and He has my "him" somewhere. I have to simply become His "me". :D

Becoming God's me keeps me tickled pink. His handpicked little angels in my life are amazing. My heart is overflowing.

I've come to realize that I love life. I love where God has me right now. Everything has Him in it. Everything is Him. I can't express how happy I am to have the friends I have right now. I'm learning and I'm growing. There are some things that I seem to have a hard time to understand, but I think that's why I'm having a problem... because I just need to live life, grow closer to God and let it be. UGH and I totally admire my BFF... I can't even put it to words, but I totally admire her marriage and motherhood. I bees so thankful for her. I'm truly thankful for all my friends because they're like assorted flavors, but they're just what I need. God is good. He's my all in all, the Love of my life. I trust Him. I love Him. I'm thankful because He cared enough to handpick each person that comes in my life. I'm grateful for the opportunity to know each one.

Reality TV is edu-ma-cational

Okey dokes so yes I am addicted to The Hills... and more recently The City.

I just have to say something I've learned because reality TV can in fact be educational... lol

I'm a little bitter because The City is over for right now. But there are some things I've observed about Whitney that I am proud of. Here are the different scenerios (I know I'm a very sad soul):

• They work for DVF (Diane von Furstenberg, huge designer) and anywho they had to pull a "look" for the girl on the cover of a big magazine. They tasked two girls to do it. Whitney pulled the look that everyone LOVED and it ended up on the cover. When she pulled it Olivia (other girl) said she didn't like it and didn't even want to pull it. Once it was revealed that Whitney's choices won Olivia took all of the credit completely. Not only that, but it was the talk of DVF to different executives. It came around to time to pick a girl to go to London and the gentleman representing London asked about the cover... Olivia again took credit and when confronted (finally) about it... she laughed it off. Anywho, this along with other Whitnissues had Whitney off her game and she blew her chance to go to London. She's realizing that she should focus on work more and do what she can to advance her career. Really this is something that I could relate to as far as focus and I am glad to see a different perspective of things. When you see things from the outside they are more clear. Whitney should have come up with a way to let it be known that she pulled the look without being caddy. Also she still should have pressed her way to impress the London gentleman no matter who he thought pulled the look. She could have impressed him, but she allowed her boy-troubles and Olivia get in her way. Never let anything get in your way.
  

• Jay... what do I say? First of all Whitney shouldn't have been so close to this man before she moved to New York and then gotten into a relationship with him shortly after she moved out there. It associates the city with him. He picked out her apartment. He's showed her all these places, etc... She made him New York. (She was warned by Olivia... who actually has good advice, she just doesn't have any heart... she's pretty rough). This guy took advantage of Whitney's availability and began to take her for granted. Eventually they broke up after he did several careless things and he said he needed to be alone. She was hurt it took her off her game. He came back and told her that he's realized during their break that he loved her... seemed like the perfect words and all sappy and things... well she said "too little too late" that she needs to focus on her work and things. She has purposed in her heart to take a new route and I was proud of her for sticking to it even after he said some things that other women would have melted over.
  

Anywho... nobody I know watches this show so I blog about it... alas *sigh* I am a sad case. There are only a few shows I watch and this is one of them... sadly... lol

All da single ladies Vol. 02

lol... ok so I think I may include a few little diddies about single life so this is the second entry regarding that... first one was the bugaboo one.


So some people are totally completely funny. A dude needed his hair done and I totally said I wasn't going to do it because I didn't want to be all up in his space like that. Anywho, I told him I'd let him know. He offered to give me his number so I could let him know... anyway I didn't care. Took his number.

So he texts me this afternoon to say hey and I'm keeping it ice cold. I check with a friend about him getting his hair done and ask him how much he wants to pay and all that. Anywho he goes into flirtation mode. I'm quizzin him about everything. "Oh you crush me? why?" Funny business. I played him when he said he saw me checking him out... which I was in fact doing that, but I'm not a dude... you have to do more than look good for me. (totally generalized statement... lol to those who call themselves offended) I played if off like, "nig... I watch like everyone else and to be honest your game is wack. You miss layups and you're like 7 feet tall."

Hilariosities.

Why is it that when a woman says she's single it's like she opens a candy store? lol. Just because I'm single doesn't mean I want to talk with the likes of you. I don't mind making friends, I totally enjoy laughing and getting to know people... take a dern chill pill. If your advances didn't work in the past... persistence may be a waste of your time. Generally you will get a wink or something... when you gets no signs... time to find a different route. Not a detour... but find a new road with a new destination... lol. (sorry if it sounds harsh)

Dear friend,

I miss you and I am not sure what's going on. When I reach for you you all I feel is the air between my fingers. Your love for me seems to be past tense. I wish you would talk to me, I see you talk to everyone else. *sigh* If it's me, I just wish you would say something... I've lost friends before no need to be Peaches without Herb. No need to have me frontin' with a non-existent friendship.

I totally love you to death... didn't know the casualty would come so soon.

L

Dun, dun, dun duuuuuun

I am definitely going to have a duel with my BFF Courtni!! We are totally going to have a sophisticated battle because she ALWAYS haphazardly tells me that prayers have been answered!!! OMGoodens! *SIGH* but I love her though. Totally had a great weekend doing her wedding things. Don't tell anyone but that was my first bachelorette party and bridal shower. So anyway... back to other news. Awwww and a song they played at the Bridal shower was sooooooo great! It's been stuck in my head since that day. I'm so very happy for her. We will still have a duel, but I will wait until after the honeymoon hmph! lol.

I'm going....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I am so excited right now!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going somewhere at the end of the month and I can't wait. I am on cloud 234850294862.1! I can't say much more because I will reveal the location. And keep ya comments to yourself... no guessing. Text me if you want to be all smart (THEO!). lol.

Randomness Vol. 001 (lol)

So I've been inspired by my friend Courtni... she's so the coolest. Why we haven't found one another until now I have NO clue! Jeez! She warms my little heart and is so real and straight up about things. I LOVE IT!

Anywho... dag I forgot... (twins) ... um... thinking... I can't remember what I was going to write.


I want to apologize for those looking for my previous deep subject deep-thought blogs... just not there right now. Lots of random things happening.

One thing I hate... I can't stand when people are running late. I know, I know, I know... for those who know me I always am late (and I'm working on it), but there are some things I don't like to be late for. Anything that has a specific start time that we can't control (movies, plays, CONCERTS...) HATE TO BE LATE. Like I really hate it because I don't want to miss anything. I definitely was going to be late to see my boo PJ Morton this Sunday because of my wonderful passengers. We were supposed to leave at 4... we left at 5... I prayed hard about my attitude and the possibilities of being close. Well I guess God answered because the concert was cancelled and rescheduled to be on the weekend of Youth Congress and I will already be in the Ham so it will be perfectly ideal *muah*

Totally bummed to find out that a dude I liked was engaged. It was really really really random. We actually just went shopping and he brought it up all MoF'ly (MoF=matter of fact). Like "oh my fiance has the same car" lameness. Anywho. Whatev. Still my boi.

Played ball this weekend. It felt great. We totally sucked. 7 to like 25. I made 2pts though... so with a score like that I made 28.5% of the pts! HA... lolol. Playing ball tonight.

Ugh my hair... that will have to be another blog... *sigh*... well since we're being random. It won't do right! I cut it on Friday to cut the straight ends because I was sick of dealing with them... apparently cut more than I thought. Cut all the color off. It's so not in a style. I will rock it though. Not sure how it'll work with the whole gym and bball thing... but I am not stopping. If push comes to shove I will just touch it up or wash it and rock it curly.

I'm really really really glad that my girl Courtni found her wallet. I was so worried and I felt bad because in a way I was like... "if I hadn't of invited her..." and when she called me I had half a mind to drive all the way over to the skating rink to look in the parking lot. I even woke up and was like, "maybe I'll drive by there"... lol I even thought, "maybe I'll go at lunch". Was too thrilled when I got her super-brief message saying she found it. YAY! Oooh yay she's getting married in 12 days! :D

Saw Spamalot. Very funny. I cracked up. We were the only Black people in there I PROMISE. I love it though. Prove the stereotypes wrong. I plan to go to more plays simply to show them that Black people can be cultured... Southern states are a little behind and Alabama especially... they were shocked to see us at the play.

Madea... lol! We totally were hecka loud in there. Talking and laughing. I've NEVER done that at a movie before, but it felt good to be carefree. (lol definitely stereotypical right after I was trying to break barriers at Spamalot.. lol) I love my girlies. I really do. I'm so glad to find some great girlfriends down here... I really am. I swear I had a serotonin overdose though. My boy text me during the movie to tell me he could hear me... lols terrible. funny. *sigh*

Slumdog Millionaire... so much to say... it was a great movie. Go see it! Very well done folks.

I feel bad because I keep cancelling on watching home movies with a friend of mine... *sigh* soon...

Game night.. I want to have one soon. Yay Bible Study this weekend.

I think I like the chill-life right now. I need not a relationship, but God leads... not me. I do know that I will be spontaneous and unplanned. So in essence I am planning to be unplanned about my love life. And I think that's how God wants it. Me and my boo God have to get up anywho. All else will come around.

Some guys are interesting. You've got my sparked my friend... not sure where it goes, but I enjoy our little interractions. You always make me laugh and smile. Love the light-heartedness. Most times, if I'm not fussing at you. :)

A wonderful baby girl was born named Chloe Benet'! I was really geeked when my boy called me and told me. He had been slacking lately. Told me he was getting married and then it suddenly happened and I heard about it on FB. Glad he called me on the morning of his little darling's birth.

Woe is me alumni is coming up. This month is going to fly by. I have a lot going on. Mercy... like I won't have a break until after alumni starting this weekend. Need to be prayed up.

The forgotten face

:) When you leave facebook you see who your real friends are... :)

The one's who still contact you. I know FB makes it easy. It's refreshing to be without it for a while.

Tis all...

The City

Ok so like I'm totally grinning...
(1)
I thought I didn't like The City. I just watched the first episode online. One thing I don't like is her stupid uptown friends. Totally wack. Totally bourgeois. I would clearly only hang with them because I work with them. I do'nt like how Jay walked in there to take Whit from the party. I'm hoping that they cut out the time that he chilled at the party. I don't think they should have left that early...

I think it's cute how Jay swooped in though... real masculine and prince-like. Gentlemanly by bringing a hostess gift. I'm sure that he'll turn out to be a turd as the viewing continues...

..updates as I watch..
(2)
I definitely think that episode two proves why women shouldn't settle down with one person. Why do we always do that? Sure we may like a guy, but we totally need to take things slow and chill.

When a guy says that he did xyz and that he will prove it there is such a catch-22. If you say yes, you look as if you don't trust him. From the outside it seems like a guy will only say that if he has something to hide. IDK. And I definitely don't like Olivia. She is sneaky and I don't appreciate her trumping Whit's first pair of Monolo's by saying her first pair was when she was 17... real lame.

(3)
The downtown friends are more of her friends. It's important that she take things slow. Why is it such an issue? Why think hard? Why make a big deal of it?

*sigh* Whitney shouldn't be so all up in this guy as she is just now moving to New York. She's in a new city and new people. Date around, get to know the girls, know what you like.

(4)
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG she is talking to DVF... wow. amazing. amazing. ah-mazing. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-mazing!! And Olivia is totally jealous. LOLs.

Why do we talk a big talk when it comes to relationships and we become all gooey? jeez

COMPLETELY confused with Erin and her boy Duncan... you love him... yet you want him to stay in Toronto. Like you think it's Burger King pretty much. It doesn't really make much sense.

FEELING the new guy and how he asked her to lunch. Very bold, I love it. *dimple.dimple*

She shouldn't have brought it up to Jay about lunch. She should have just went along with the conversation. By her bringing it up and then downplaying the guy and that it's "just a guy" and all that... ok... well aw. Jay is considering dating her... very cute! I love it... i totally love it. TOTALLY love it... O... M... G...

(5)
How much are people known by the company they keep?

(6)
I like Olivia and her perspective about the dern drama. smh... stay away from it. You're a grown-face woman. Let it go. lol... she's no LC.

Conversations about other people's relationships aren't the best idea... Whit doesn't trust Jay. Jay was right on point. She took it too far.

(7)
Allie has an eating disorder...

...totally got caught by my boss.... wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy uncool...

(11)
...really not feeling Olivia acting like she pulled that fit... especially because she was against it.
Whitney is rather mature. I have to say she has a good head on her shoulders. She's not perfect.. but I see why her an LC were friends.

...I think old girl realized that something was up. I can't wait until it hits the fan. I would have played her. I would have said "I tried to tell Olivia that we should pick that look, I'm glad we did!" or something else.
