5-day forecast.

It's Monday oh joy.
It's Monday and if it wasn't for MNF I would be sad. Blah. This week is always happy though because of me having Friday off. I love my off-Friday's and this one is truly off... I have NO appointments... so far. *sigh* Although Monday's are long and boring, I'm glad to have them because they'd be far worse if I had nowhere to go to Monday morning.

UGH... ok... I must admit the fact that I can't multitask on my iPhone is more than annoying. Yes I said it. I love my phone, but that thorn is getting even more uncomfortable. I saw the Moto Cliq this weekend and it's really cute, I wish it had a bigger screen. *shrug* the apps will keep me from dying while I wait for a phone with better battery-life and multi-tasking opportunities. For now, I'll simply jailbreak it. :) Thanks @Chrismorris528. Outside of my little beefs I enjoy it.

*sigh* guess that daily 5-day forecast is useful. You never know what front may be coming through. Just because it was warm last week, doesn't mean it will be this week. Oh well. I'm prepared for whatever the Weatherman will bring. And... how does a weatherman come unprepared for the weather? #imjustsayin

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I don't deal with foolishness. I hope you enjoyed your time here. No syndication for you. HA! You thought i was rude before? :0) Imagine the opposite of my niceness. Got it? good. KICK ROCKS. I'll even bring you a bag full of stones if you'd like. Don't you have something better to do? Guess you'll have plenty of time to figure that out now.

This week is going to be wonderful. LET'S GO!

Just because.

Today is freaking amazing. It's so gorgeous outside! I can't wait to get off and spend time with my BFF. :) yayzers.

Do the early bird!

Welllllllllll I'm doing well... have a little headache trying to come one. I think that my body is fighting me gettin up early in the morning.

I was SO uber tired, but I said before I left yesterday that I was going to get to work before 7am... so I had to do it. Got up around 5:30. stumbled around the house. continued to stumble. Went into my meditation room... had devotion. It was sweet. It really is nice to have devotion while "the earth is sleep".

Since I had so much time... i made waffles. *shrug* grubbed on em. Prepared my lunch for today. Kept shuffling around the house.

Last night, in preparation i took my shower and ironed my clothes... wow that made a HUGE difference. smh. All I literally had to do was roll out of bed and throw clothes on. :)

:) Chip will be happy because we can go on a nice walk/jog or he can run in the backyard after I get off.

I love that i will get off before it gets dark. yep yep.

The only thing i hate is that I am starting to get a headache... so I must take care of that.

*sidenote: Chip is a great dog. I recently started making him go poo further out in the yard by coming up with a command of "go out" simple. He caught on very quickly and for the most part heeds to the command. I have the greatest dog ever.*

Mr. Weatherman

Mr. Weatherman. It's cold again. Weather is fickle. One day it's hot, others it's cold. Even today... scarf and pea coat on... and by the afternoon it's warm and I don't need either of them. *sigh* The weather can't decide what it's going to do.

Mr. Weatherman. I'm tired of the back and forth. Either it's hot or it's cold. Simple. I'm tired of unpacking and repacking clothes because I'm unsure of what the weather will do the next day... let alone the next week. The forecast isn't always right. "Can't trust the weatherman." You just have to be prepared for any type of weather. Sandals. Parka. Umbrella.

Mr. Weatherman. I need you to get it together. Some days the frost is melting. Others I can't warm up my little hands. My toes are cold. Can't move. I prepare for the cold and it warms right up. Pull out the shorts and I'm in need of a blanket. *sigh*

Mr. Weatherman. Stop lying. You don't know. I'll catch pneumonia listening to you.

Fall back

*sigh*

Well I haven't blogged for real in a long time. I need to. Hmm.
Randomness....

I really enjoyed playing football for the time being. Practice was great the games were so much fun. I do believe that I need to work on my "game face" because it can be a bit mean or what not. lol.

Twitter. I love it. If you think it's lame you don't understand it and you think that it's just for reading your favorite celebs whereabouts or telling people that you're eating cereal at 5am... smh. Not so. I've met a lot of people on there and it has become a great place to just say whatever.

Sleep. Right now I'm super sleepy randomly. I don't have any idea why because time went back last night. I went to bed madd early and what not.

Chip. My boo. He is sick right now and I'm concerned. Matter of fact I'm sitting here worried a little about him because I know something was in his throat and he couldn't get it out. :( I really hope that it's not that bad. I prayed for him this morning. Lord knows I can't afford a big bill.

Life. The advertisements have been decent. I've actually seen more lately. Now it's up to Management to make decisions. I picked one out a while back but there were some disclosures that I misread. Matter of fact I just recently paid that mistake off in full. Now the funds are starting to get stacked on the side. They are accruing interest. Every day it's something new. The ups and downs. Life

Fear. I'm not scared of lions, tigers and bears... but...

Must Stop Procrastinating!!!

My conference today…

I have been preparing for this meeting for months… and what not. It was the same type of meeting I attending in Pennsylvania that I led out in. This time closer to meeting time things were up in the air and all over the place so it was hectic with other projects. I was driving to work and realized I completely forgot about one major part of the conference and I was just asking God for peace. I was trying to calm down. I came in rushing to look for someone who had been on vacation for all of last week and he’s my superior… I see him in the hallway and he’s talking about us starting the conference with the very thing I forgot. PANIC! My heart dropped! And I ran to my desk to print them out. Knowing that I was going through changing them and hoping that I could kinda tweek them before the meeting… that was in about 25 minutes… which in meeting time… was RIGHT NOW! So I went back to my desk… looked at my redlined products… opened the document and NOTHING had been changed… even the basic edits weren’t done… I tried to keep calm… I saw another document because I knew I started the edits before… and voila… when I opened it… all the changes were there… I had already finished it a long time ago. There were minor things that needed to be done and I did them.

Went to print it out… forgot to use staples… printed again… the printer is stuck… so I pick another printer… stuck… and then when they printed it printed wrong… so I went to another printer. Finally… finally! And people were running late anyway so I wasn’t holding up the show (praise GOD… I hate that feeling)

Meeting started… the guy next to me redlined it right off… EVERY page! I was trippin… I was sweatin on the inside… cool as a cucumber on the outside.

Things went well. So well I was just praising God in my mind. I couldn’t hold it in. Mercy.

All I could think about was mercy because I knew that I deserved for the meeting to go terribly. I deserved to have that meeting just fall apart. I was so afraid when I was heading to my desk before the meeting I literally just wanted to walk out the door. I’m so serious. But even in my fear I kept walking, I kept pressing.

God showed out. He really did.

Next part of the meeting I knew was going to be a bit more hectic because I knew changes needed to be made for sure and I hadn’t done them on the document in the computer. (Part of the reason this meeting was so “surprising” and “out of the blue” was because I figured we were covering different topics and we didn’t do Pre-meeting strategic planning and what not… so I just knew that I wasn’t running this meeting… not so) Lucky break we had a lunch break. I rushed to my desk and cleaned up my document. Took it in there… and it was like butter. No lie. Smh. God is so amazing. Mercy.

All in all I’m so grateful for my job. And mercy… and I really need to work on my procrastination. Lol.

Morning...

This morning... the first thing I did, after hitting snooze about 75 times is look at my fingers... I couldn't help but thank God for my fingers. Although I was awake, they were still sleeping. I wiggled em... I wiggled and wiggled em... and they came to life :) "Good morning fingers".

"Good morning toes"

My body has been in pain this week, but I'm thankful for pain... it means I'm living and that those areas still have feeling.

...it's the little things...

It's the little things that we have to be grateful for.
Some people don't have the opportunity to wiggle their toes.

Even though I'm feeling under the weather...

*stretch*

TYF

MsCommunication: Saturn

Lol... Ok... I still believe that Saturns are sucky. I probably won't ever drive one.

I realize they are "good" cars... but IMO within parameters. :) lol. IMO Saturns are good cars... if you don't want a really great car like a Honda/Toyota/Nissan. I mean why settle right? lol

I'm sooo glad that @pink82 owned one in High School and it was good for her :))) *giggle*

I also would like to thank the many Americans who kept Saturn afloat throughout the years... not sure why y'all decided to #fail them. Post-blog I'm going to start a petition to encourage all Americans to go buy a Saturn. :) They're the Best Darn American Cars Period...

MsCommunication: Plan B

So I had a real conversation with CoWorker.

We talked about Plan B. Me and my coworker chopped it up. My pause for Plan B was packed with different thoughts. But mainly in the background it was just my heart wishing that sex wasn't so commonplace. That the kids of this up and coming generation without proper parenting and information may potentially see Plan B, Birth Control, Condoms and what not as a "way out" etc. For the most part people are going to keep having sex or not having sex regardless of what's available. Those actually are great things for those that are active because they can safeguard them from unwanted pregnancies and STDs.

I just wish people would be celibate. Unfortunately we won't be, and I understand that.

After talking with @CoWorker, he expressed how he didn't think it would measurably increase the number of people actually having sex. I understood that point. Either you are or you aren't.

RT I just wish people would be celibate. Unfortunately we won't be, and I understand that.

Obama's Speech to students

Live reaction to Obama's speech (fueled by the fact that parents were pulling kids out)

First of all I would have LOVED to hear this on the first day! :)

Every one of you has something that you're good at, that you can offer. I think that's great. Some kids need to know that...

I like how he related the inventors... and he spoke of the iPhone in it. LMBO. In the same breath that he said vaccine. iPhone fanboys rejoice.

I do think that any kids that already aren't motivated and don't give a d*mn... this speech will mean nothing. For those whose minds are still being developed, who are impressionable... this will definitely motivate them.

If you quit on school you are not only quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country. True story... although we do need someone to be the garbage man... he should have thrown that statement in there. lol. "...if you do quit, we do need garbage men, so you can pick up an application on the way out the door." I should write Obama's speeches. lol.

Nothing on the outside is an excuse for bad behavior at school. Get your act together! STFU! I love it... get ya stuff together. There are not excuses nigras! (@masterluke103).

For some students this is one of the only times they will really have someone speak to them to encourage them and really show them the success they can have. He's offering stories from different people who went through adversity.

Encouraging them to set goals. Totally great idea! Kids don't do that, and even if their parents aren't going to tell them this, now the President has.

I don't like how he spoke on the Harry Potter author... but eh.

I wish that he would have spoke to the kids that have everything handed to them. It felt like he was speaking to "urban" kids and not kids on the whole. Talk to the kids that just have things handed to them, or are doing well. Encourage those that are doing well to do better and reach back to others. I wish he would have done it in a sit down environment. Maybe slacks and an oxford. Actually sitting down. Not a dern podium speech, but that's something his handlers may have preferred. (@nathan0428)

He shouldn't have said Facebook developer... dude... that ninja dropped out of school... boy i tell ya.

I wonder what the atmosphere was like at school afterwards...

My thoughts have really changed after I saw it. That mug was so mild. Nothing was "political" like them fools were upset about. If I were to write them a letter it'd say this...

Dear parent,
I'm not sure why you pulled Sally out of school today, but I'd like to gain understanding. Is it because you were afraid of Obama influencing your kid to stay in school and do their best? Did you think he was going to talk about the war and influence your kid to join the military? Were you afraid that he was going to brainwash your child and have them brainwash you to vote for Obama for his second term?

Ok I could understand if you think that Obama is so outlandish in his views, you may have been afraid that he would take this opportunity while your kid wasn't under your supervision to hypnotise them. He's clearly that ignorant. Or even start a movement or what not. Clearly. After all, you are always supervising what they watch, listen to and do in life. You wouldn't dare let them have ANY bad influences in their lives. Don't forget to protect them from gay marriage and abortion. Pull them out of sex education too... they'll learn from the childbirthing classes after cheerleading practice next year.

Best Regards,
Alexis
OBAMA '12

Of course I'm being "extra". For those of us who were a little upset at these "dumb" parents for pulling their kids out of school, there are some things we should consider. For some of the parents it may not have even been about Obama's speech, just the fact that they could have another day of vacation after labor day. There may have been some conspiracy theorists that said that Obama was going to make them offer a pledge to Obama... (something I heard from a coworker that sound like a pile of malarky... sorry to say... why the Flip would that make sense?) They did the same thing to Bush Sr. when he did his speech back inthe day. They did more than pull kids out of school they actually had a hearing, criticizing him spending $26,000 on the broadcast. (Which actually is well worth it if you are talking about kids NOT dropping out of school.) I do see how it would be something I'd like to view with my child just so we can actually have a discussion afterwards. "so what did you think about it?" kinda convo. That would be a wonderful thing to do as a parent. In that regard, if ANY of the parents planned to approach it like that I think that's wonderful. Oh and also... by showing this in school it can stir up things in the students and teachers. In school they aren't supposed to be talking much about politics and this opens a can of worms. *thought: but THIS is not a political race... he IS the President* I know know I know... but it doesn't mean that those cans won't be opened. Kids were getting ISS after the inauguration for talking about the President, so I wouldn't put anything past parents nowadays. My 10 yr old cousin has had many debates on Obama with classmates. Some issues he is passionate about. If they show this in a classroom your kids are likely to hear the teachers political views, whether by their murmuring, demeanor or just flat out hear it. If you are for Obama, it could mean that as your child attends a classroom in the red state you live in they are bogged down with anti-Obama comments all day... just as soon as the political tensions finally were released.

It's hard to take it out of feeling like they are picking on President Obama. I just wish we all would be more objective. I think it's hard to do when some of the reasoning is fueled by him having strikes against him being a Black man AND a democrat. I mean they clearly would have preferred Palin, duh! :)
