Mind you it was a buffet. My family doesn’t frequent these places. Not because of what we will look like but because we eat too much and we don’t like the way we feel after we eat that much. (I’m telling you. I could stay skinny if I didn’t already have 200 extra lbs on my body… And yes I said it b/c I can be honest with you and more importantly ME and say that it’s there.) But we had decided to go there b/c sometimes we just have that knack. So we went. When we got there and sat down another woman, her husband, daughter and her boyfriend sat down to have dinner. When they visited the buffet they came back. The mother took one look back and commenced to talking about my mother and I. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

As soon as my mom stared him down he went into uncomfortable zone. Fidgeting in his seat. Looking everywhere but at us, or even the people at his own table. (<s>Even though this woman gets up and she looks like she is 60 but is probably only 45, she coughed and sounded like she extracted a lung right at the table, her teeth were so bad I have no CLUE how she was able to eat her food without swallowing clumps of tobacco.</s> But it’s not about her either.)

It has been a minute since I have greeted you so....<br />
<br />
GREETINGS!!!!<br />
<br />
:D<br />
<br />
Things around these parts have been crazy and hectic. I have been remodeling my room AND attempting to keep my grades up... We shall see how they BOTH go when I go back to school from spring break.. YES... Spring break the 2nd week of March. But like I care I needed to catch up anyway :D<br />
<br />
But anywhooo I come to you for a very serious matter...<br />
<br />
Who wants $20??<br />
<br />
I know I do!! I don't care if it's only half a tank of gas now (really I about PASSED out when I went to the pump last night) I WANT IT!!!<br />
<br />
This one is more specific though... It's with <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.asp">eShakti</a>. You have all seen my review of the dress that I got from them <a href="http://blckblondefatshion.blogspot.com/2010/11/30-days-of-me-day-16.html">here</a>. Well now they have given me my own personal code- Shani626. And guess what?? I can share it with you!!! Perks of always buying clothes I guess ;)<br />
<br />
Here are some of the great dresses that they have for Spring 2011<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_K9TNofqy-wRiWgqATpofs97SJfGgWV5Ci_EF9SDnPWWPSf46Qc3MEdDW3uRP-jFMMaueCLKKLKl79fwHIVH3Ts55bUKUveRc7csrcadxSVr3FpfSWDKeWL80cTEqgdIIYON4waff8Fs/s1600/privilegemailerfeb1-3-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_K9TNofqy-wRiWgqATpofs97SJfGgWV5Ci_EF9SDnPWWPSf46Qc3MEdDW3uRP-jFMMaueCLKKLKl79fwHIVH3Ts55bUKUveRc7csrcadxSVr3FpfSWDKeWL80cTEqgdIIYON4waff8Fs/s1600/privilegemailerfeb1-3-11.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Note that for all of their dresses you have the option to buy them by size or custom make them to your body for a small fee. There are other options that you can select like the dress length, sleeve type and length and neckline. But these features aren't available for all of their dresses.<br />
<br />
HAPPY SHOPPING my lovies!! 'Til next time...<br />

<br />
So today was basically a cleaning day. This was the look of the day. I did look like this but it was a little sloppier.lol I stayed at home and cleaned. Then I sat at the computer for HOURS trying to think of what I'm going to do with my room... I think I have a general idea now I just need about $5000 for a new bed and mattress set. Everything else won't cost that much ;)<br />

Keep it pimpin'!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953742050799955789noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117174024697065674.post-33687696890053101742011-01-06T20:00:00.000-08:002011-01-06T20:00:53.831-08:00OOTD: First of the Year!!!Sooo... Yesterday I wanted to make a post but blogger wouldn't let me... Really sad, I know. But anywhoo here is the first outfit of the year!!! It isn't really dressy and I wore it to work today. But I felt cute... This is actually a dress that I got during the summer but I decided to make it winter appropriate with a jean jacket, faux suede boots and brown scarf.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmOjdKau4W1rqBTlDwuLuxQH4Iwe6QQN4nAsoBBab7tCponE1Flt66WjJvXvetmw-7TAy0_zBlA3-BO7Aij_wGMhQ6lx8EX89QoqeeD3QVpxCEO4yc7MNEsZzTwBfGmq5WhZTsnGKNNM/s1600/DSCF0019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmOjdKau4W1rqBTlDwuLuxQH4Iwe6QQN4nAsoBBab7tCponE1Flt66WjJvXvetmw-7TAy0_zBlA3-BO7Aij_wGMhQ6lx8EX89QoqeeD3QVpxCEO4yc7MNEsZzTwBfGmq5WhZTsnGKNNM/s400/DSCF0019.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dress- Lane Bryant (summer 2010)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Boots- Macy's (Winter 2009)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tank Top and jean jacket- Avenue (I have had them both so long I have no clue when I got them.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is a picture of the jacket so you can kind of get an idea of what it all looked like together. Good thing it wasn't freezing because I chose to wear this without tights. But if it had've been any colder I would have frozen my legs off...lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On to recent things... This year is going great. I started falling back into the habit of being late but after I realized what I was doing I made a point to get better so it's coming along. No shopping January is proven to be REALLYYYY hard. Especially since my store won a credit contest and every associate gets $50 to spend on anything in the store. REEEALLLLYYY hard. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Again I can't wait until school starts so I can stop sitting around the house all the time and doing nothing. I have a full work load again and I am going to try my best to keep my blog up. I am loving this cold weather and all but... I can't WAIT for summer to come again. I want to go to the beach every Saturday and have a good time... This past summer I had a good time just being me and this summer it's going to be even better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have spent most of my time wondering what I am going to do and how I'm going to do it but this time I have clear direction. I know that I am going to have a good year. I'm not expecting anything spectacular. I'm just going to have fun. No matter what anyone says.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This year I am creating myself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My mom has been a fly on the wall all this time. She is telling me to get out there and make myself something. I am going to do that. I can't keep waiting for things to happen to me I have to make them happen. This year I will be making it happen... No matter how scared I am...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh! and I want a new camera... One of the fancy ones that you can take pictures from a long way away.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">WOW!! I can't believe I made it through 2010 in one piece!! It was the hardest year I have had yet! Many challenges and obstacles. But also some happiness. One being MY BLOG!!!! I am so happy that I have a place where I can come express myself and show the world a bit of myself. Well... first I want to look back at 2010 and see the lessons that I have learned. I want to keep them on hand so that I will do better in 2011.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lessons Learned in 2010:</span></u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. <b>Love yourself</b>- Honestly when someone told me this I didn't listen. I am still well on my way but I am MUCH closer than I was 1/1/2010. At times this has been really hard but I'm getting better at it. If loving yourself means going to see SATC2 movie alone, DO IT. Buying smooth writing pens at the beginning of the semester, BUY THEM. Letting go of people that could care less about you, LET THEM GO! If you don't love yourself then no one else will. So take the time to love yourself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. <b>Don't keep around people that make you feel less of a person.</b> No one told me this. I went through a couple of months of depression because of this. They didn't want me around them and I was too nieve to see it. So then I felt like I wasn't good enough to have any friends, when the fact of the matter is I WAS good enough and still am. I wasn't loving myself by trying to be around people who didn't want to be around me. This includes boyfriend relationships as well as friendships. If there is one person that don't want to hang with you then there is 2 that do. You just have to find them. They are there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. <b>Taking time away from your life is helpful</b>. Sometimes you need to get away and relax so when you come back you will be refreshed and have a better perspective. If this means going to the beach 2 Saturdays in a row, DO IT. If this means having an appointment with all 6 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, A large bag of Doritos and your favorite drink, DO IT. I have always been an advocate for mothers to do that. But I have found we single women need it too...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. <b>Shopping for yourself and dressing everyday makes you feel better.</b> There is nothing like finding that dress that fits you just right or getting up, putting on a nice outfit and going out where ever you have to go that day, or looking in a closet full of clothing and having something that fits your mood for that day. Even if it is only to class. Skip the sweats one day a week besides Friday and see how often you will want to do it more. There is NOTHING like sexy undergarments, nice pumps (or nice shoes) and curling your hair for the day to build your confidence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5.Yeah so I thought I would have a #5 but I don't so we will skip this one...lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So what does this mean for 2011?? In the past I have had resolutions that I didn't keep. So for the last 3-4 years I haven't made any at all. So in all of this I was thinking in what ways can I make 2011 a good year for me? After all I'm going to be 26!! Can you believe it?!?! I can't. So here are some resolutions that I am going to keep up with this year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">New Years Resolutions</span></u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1.<b> Create myself.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzD7nNzEkw7jHMLwzR4tqNE16h2h3wz1QKUexEV6tkjemLmMB74BILci2xqFC9XePCua1-sBWR4_erTYCtEKD3PVAtr81X2PzY92oAptZ4gHyYuZnzhvWFT6djaM6mZUD_BkaCxCj7sy4/s1600/Finding.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzD7nNzEkw7jHMLwzR4tqNE16h2h3wz1QKUexEV6tkjemLmMB74BILci2xqFC9XePCua1-sBWR4_erTYCtEKD3PVAtr81X2PzY92oAptZ4gHyYuZnzhvWFT6djaM6mZUD_BkaCxCj7sy4/s400/Finding.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For a while now I have been waiting for someone to tell me how to "find" myself and it's not happening. So from now on I will "create". Whatever I want to do I will do it. I won't sit around waiting on people who will never come around.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. <b>Stay off of Facebook before 7 pm.</b> This isn't going to be hard because I won't let it be. In the past I have spent hours on FB and haven't gotten assignments done or gotten really behind on things. Time to break the cycle!! I'm turning 26 this year remember...lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. <b>Update my blog more.</b> I want to have at least 2 outfit posts a week and one lessons learned a week. This sounds like it isn't much but I promise you this is going to be hard for me. It isn't about getting material it's about taking the time to actually write. I don't have enough clothes that I can do a post everyday. My mom would probably say that I could but I don't think I can so we shall see how this goes for the time being.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. <b>Drink atleast 16 oz. of water a day.</b> I actually started doing this over the summer but I stopped and I need to start again. It helps me feel lighter and makes my skin clearer so I'm doin it!! Yeah!!lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. <b>No shopping for 3 weeks of every month</b>. This is to get back on the financial track. I have been buying a lot of clothing that really isn't necessary so I'm going to stop. I love the clothes that I have. But for January I'm not going to buy anything. I need to start saving for Spring. I have BIG plans for spring!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">6. <b>Be on time</b>. I have been working on this and it is possible. I just have to go to bed on time to get up on time to be dressed and at class on time. See it's a cycle and I'm MAKIN IT HAPPEN!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So there they are!! What are some of your New Years Resolutions??</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953742050799955789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117174024697065674.post-43782371327173875082010-12-27T18:03:00.000-08:002010-12-27T18:03:13.846-08:00My Top 5 Music Videos of 2010I was looking on yahoo.com at their list so I thought I'd make a list of my own :)<br />
<br />
1.<b>"Why don't you love me?" -Beyonce</b><br />
Feast your eyes on TALENT... This woman is AH-MAZE-ING!! I love it when she stops the whole song to dust her Grammy's... WERK IT GUURRRLL!!lol From her attitude to her pinup retro style. Love it. Love her. She is just an all around great artist.<br />
<br />
<object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QczgvUDskk0?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QczgvUDskk0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />
<br />
"There's nothing not to love about me... I'm LOOVEELLYYYYY."<br />
<br />
2. <b>"Unthinkable" -Alicia Keys</b><br />
This one MOVED me... At the time I was unsure about my relationship with someone. But when I saw this I knew I was ready no matter what happened I was ready. Unfortunately it ended not long after this...lol It was good to see that there is racism in black people too, because there is. From when he says "What? Am I not good enough??", to the time traveling, to the fashion. Loved this video.<br />
<br />
<object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HhuGQUZJot8?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HhuGQUZJot8?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br />
<br />
"If we do the unthinkable will it make us look crazy OR would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm saying... If you ask me I'm ready."<br />
<br />
3. <b>"We're marching on" -One Republic</b><br />
This actually came out when I was trying to pick up the pieces. It showed me that whatever happens I have to keep marching on... Plus it's like they are channeling Cold Play's "Speed of Sound" video and I love that song and video too...<br />
<br />
<object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UHvgAJe8bvM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UHvgAJe8bvM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br />
<br />
"For all the things I'm not... I put one foot in front of the other and keep marching on..."<br />
<br />
4. <b>"What's my name" -Rhianna ft. Drake</b><br />
I know this one isn't that old. It came out in November but I LOVE Rhianna and Drake's chemistry and they aren't even dating... The way it starts off playful in the store to when he kisses her cheek at the end... the way they really act like they are in love... SICK crazy...Makes me believe in love again...<br />
<br />
<object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U0CGsw6h60k?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U0CGsw6h60k?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br />
<br />
"'Cause you just my type, OH na NA na na."<br />
<br />
5. <b>"Raise your glass" -Pink</b><br />
hahaha this one MAKES ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!! I love Pink because she don't care what people think of her she is going to have fun anyway. From the plump girl eating the skinny girl's food and knocking out the other, to the babies "raising their glasses", to her doing the shot-gun at prom. She is standing up the the less forunate and I love her!<br />
<br />

<br />
"oh man... my glass is empty. That SUCKS."<br />

<br />
And everyone else...<br />
<br />
I am a <b>PERSON</b>. I have feelings. You think YOU have bad days?! How about I have bad weeks!! You say when I texted you, you didn't feel like talking because you were having a bad day.<br />
<br />
NEWS FLASH!!!<br />
Did you ever think I would be texting you maybe because I had a bad day too?!?<br />
<br />
i am NOT invisible.<br />
<br />
Everyone needs a friend. Someone to talk to. This past week has been a living HELL for me and my family. Why? Because I was so afraid that on Christmas I was going to hurt the entire day. I snapped at my family and C, didn't go out at all, and stayed in my pajamas most of the day everyday. All I needed was someone to say "It's going to be ok. The holiday will pass like so many before and the day isn't going to be so bad."<br />
<br />
i am NOT INVISIBLE!<br />
<br />
But NO! Is it too hard for someone to look past the smiles and uplifting words and say "Really... How are you doing inside? I know it's hard for you. So let it out. How are you REALLY doing?"<br />
<br />
Where are all the people that care? Where are they??<br />
<br />

So I am like so bad at blogging right now... Things have been soooo busy here. I finished out this semester. And I'm so happy for that. So my lastest project is to change my room. I currently live with my parents and my room has never really looked the way I wanted it to. I don't have anything on my walls, and my furniture is all miss matched. So this Spring I'm going to paint all my furniture and get a new bed. I'm soooo EXCITED!!! So in looking for an idea of what kind of bed I want I came across these pictures of some nice rooms.<br />

It started off slow and depressing but I have gained SO much since then. My confidence is up. I have friends that I LOVE. My family is so supportive that I have no clue what I would do without them. But most of all I have the best relationship with GOD that I have had in a long time. SO I wanted to list a few things that I am thankful for:</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>GOD</b>- For having mercy on me and loving me when I was doubting that he even existed. He was there to show me that no matter what he had my back and that he ALWAYS will love me.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>My family</b>- They have put up with so much crap from me and still loved me. Still kept giving to me and for that I am SOOO thankful. I will do my best from this day forward to be the daughter that you love and deserve. I would like to give a special thanks to my mother. She really has become my best friend and confidant and I don't know what I would do without her. In the past year she has helped me strengthen my fashion sense, see people for who they really are, cut the bad strings of things that were hurting me, and overall be a better woman. She is so giving, loving and kind. But at the same time she ain't taking no junk, and that is what I aspire to be. I love you mama, more than words can express.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>My church family</b>- I know. I know... Some of you who are reading this are rolling your eyes and wanting to click off... But you're here now, so you may as well keep reading. Yes we have some that their intentions are questionable... I'm not going to lie about that. But in the last few months I have seen so much love from people that I thought I was invisible to. And that was because I was in my own little bubble. I am sooo thankful to every elderly woman who has put me in their prayer book. I was so far and your prayers helped bring me back. And for THAT I will forever be grateful.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>My Pastor</b>- Johnny Godair is an AWESOME man. I can't even put it into words. I never want to be on his bad side. When he smiles I know that everything is alright. I want my future husband to be like him and I want to be like his wife. They are great people of GOD, that stand for what they believe in and don't back down and for that I am forever grateful!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>My FRAAAANNNSSS!!!!</b>- I will say this... I have had some challenges when it comes to friends. I have had a lot of them. I have lost some, tried to hang on to some and lost them, and others just lost em. But to you all I am so thankful that you were in my life in one way or another. Wither we parted on good terms or not, I have learned something from you. And I thank you for your friendship. And to those who I am still close to... THANK YOU for being there. The friends that I have now are much more special because they see the value of friendship and they don't want to mess that up. I love you guys!!!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>My country</b>- YES there are things that I would like to change. And there are issues that I wish this nation DIDN'T have to address but I am thankful that I live here. There is no other place I would rather be.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">SOOOO...

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Well... This I really don't know...lol There are several things I guess...lol</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">For starters I am the only one and the oldest one among my friends circle to have NEVER had a boyfriend. I mean NEVER. I wasn't allowed to have one til I was 16 and then when I turned 16 there just hasn't been anyone. So... Yeah...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">I am very giving, gullible, and BLONDE... This is something that all of my friends can agree with. When you talk to me I do not sound like an typical African-American woman. I am very proper or "white" (as they call it here where I'm from) and when I use hand gestures they are very prissy. It takes me FOREVER to get the punch line of a joke. Sometimes it has to be explained to me...lol Giving is a good thing. Gullible is not. Like one friend, when she moved here told me that she was pregnant and I believed her for like 3 months when she first came!!! I was terrible!! You have to be obviously sarcastic for me to know that you are kidding...lol</span></span><br />

I actually have been wearing some really cute outfits but I haven't had anyone to take pictures of them. So this week I promise I will be better :)<br />
<br />
This is what I wore this morning to church. VERY excited about this sweater!! It actually came in this week and it was employee discount week so I said I'd be broke for a couple of days so I could but it and I'M GLAD I DID!!lol It's really warm and rich color. I got a 26/28 and usually I wear a 30/32. So if you get it you may want to try a size smaller. The sleeves fit perfect but were a little long over my hands. Overall it is a great piece and if they were to make this in another color I'd buy that too!!lol<br />

It is a way to keep things into perspective and see things that make me smile. Check em out...<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Five Favorties</b></span><br />
<br />
1. TRESemme's 4+4 Hair Care products-<br />
I have had some horrible experience with hair care products in the past. I love to style my hair and make it look nice for church but I only would find hairsprays that would dry out my hair. No matter how much oil I put on it, it wouldn't look any better. A friend told me about this line that TRESemme has that I was a little afraid to try. But after I did I have been totally HOOKED!!lol Here is what the bottle looks like but it says 4+4: 4 vitamains/ 4 mineral vitamins on it. (or something like that...lol)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_pujMyqqPA8N7CoJryVWdHdt4BWctMuWfa7HCD_62EkpDxF-XN6yW4YR-qKZ6jk9SZQTqEd9VY2rfA2SSFVpD8pl6tWe5OfTPHNjBoOVGr-rN7nWycSCNSPhbeWWyVtLy10GOrg2qjU/s1600/Tressemme.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY_pujMyqqPA8N7CoJryVWdHdt4BWctMuWfa7HCD_62EkpDxF-XN6yW4YR-qKZ6jk9SZQTqEd9VY2rfA2SSFVpD8pl6tWe5OfTPHNjBoOVGr-rN7nWycSCNSPhbeWWyVtLy10GOrg2qjU/s320/Tressemme.png" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Matty B.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now I wasn't going to do this but this kid has got some FLOW!!!lol He's funny and sarcastic. He even dances in one of his videos...lol I first saw him last week in a "Whip my hair" prodgy. Then I looked him up and found this one... Too cute!!lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b6QE1Qcm-IE&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b6QE1Qcm-IE&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. Food-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Food and I are having a love affair. I know that sounds bad. I'm trying to loose weight. Not to be ulta skinny, because that is DEF not me, but to be healthy. Because I am really starting to see effects of being this big and they aren't good :/ And this love affair is not helping me achieve that.lol It's like the more I try the more I want to eat. Like Saturday, I went to this really ritzy Italian restaurant called "Pop's". The dish that I had was ok. But I tasted like 3 peoples dishes and they was spactacular!! Bread was great... Made me feel real fancy. Then last night (Sunday night) some friends and I decided to go to Cosmic Cantina. Which was ok because I got a low-fat burrito (if that is possible lol). But that burrito was better than it was the last time I went and I was sooo in love with it. So I have decided. I am going to eat whatever I want but in moderate portions and exercise. I can't not eat something because then I will see it as a diet and I won't stick to it... We shall see how this works this week :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. Eating with friends</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is something that I haven't done much of in the last couple of months because I have been on a self-pity streak. But Saturday night and last night I was able to get together with some friends and have dinner and it was SOOOO refreshing. There was no "I wish you would shut-up" looks, or people over here whispering secrets. We were all adults and we all were having conversations together. That is soooo REFRESHING... I can't even tell you how much better I have felt because of it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. Following "Skinny-Girl" Blogs-</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I must say I was a bit skeptical at first. I didn't want to do it. But I am finding that many of them have ideas that I can use. They all aren't bashing big girls or trying to make big girls look bad. Here are a couple I have found...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Five Lessons Learned</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Stockings and tights are not plus-sized women's worse enemy...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Getting off the computer for 5 hrs to hang out with friends is better than chatting online...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. Conversations with a group of 8 without people whispering and sharing secrets are less painful for everyone. If there is something that you need to say and you don't want the group to hear it then wait til later to tell them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. Taking pictures is not a bad thing. So hop on over and join that group of people that your hanging out with in that picture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. There will have to be some type of sacrifice to make yourself a better person or the person you want to be...</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953742050799955789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117174024697065674.post-78930065361858798942010-11-15T11:10:00.001-08:002010-11-15T11:10:52.537-08:00Bloglovin'<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/2009234/shining-fabulosity?claim=tps9gekym69">Follow my blog with bloglovin</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07953742050799955789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117174024697065674.post-27081482405492066352010-11-14T12:11:00.000-08:002010-11-14T12:11:35.790-08:00Get it while the gettin is GOOD!!!Soooo...

Day 18...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;">Day 18</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">- Plans/dreams/goals you have</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Currently my #1 goal is to finish Undergrad. I have been working at this thing for a while. and it makes no since what so ever!! So my plan and goal is to finish that in Spring 2012. Getting there is going to kill me but I am going to make it!!lol</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">My #1 dream is to find something that I will LOVE to go to work to everyday. So far all I have done is work small jobs that have no room for advancement and little pay. But I want to have a job that I will feel like I accomplished something. That I am making a difference doing it.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">#2: I know all the married women are going to look at this and go "GURRRLLLL don't dream of that!!" But my #2 dream is to be happily married. There have been so many times that I have wanted to share something, but there is no one to share it with. I want a best friend. And every married woman that I know says that their husband is their best friend. I want that. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">So there... All of these are probably so simple that you all are like "Really???". But I'm a simple girl in need of simple things...

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Honestly... I don't really know!lol It's funny because I would want to be a mother for a day. To have my own children and husband and just do that for a day. I just want to experience it to see what it will be like. So I can have some hope. Because right now I don't have much.lol But I know it isn't possible so... Whatev... Today went great and I'm hopping that tomorrow is just as good...

With a pink cardigan from Fashion Bug and an on sale belt from Lane Bryant. The shoes that I have on were from <a href="http://springshoes.com/">Springshoes.com</a> and i am totally in love with them too!! So here is a pic of the whole outfit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I asked for the dress in a below the knee length and it came right at the knee so I had to have some more material added to the bottom. But other than that I was TOTALLY satisfied and LOVED the fit and cut of the dress!!! I am DEF looking at buying another dress from them!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
