This blogging thing seems to be few & far between.
Everytime I blog now... I feel like I'm starting off by saying... "I know it's been a minute..." *smh*
I'm going to try to start blogging consistently, though. Writing has always been a "release" for me, so I might as well get more active. =o) So... once again (in my Rick Ross background song voice), Here I Am...
It's okay, I guess. Most of y'all haven't been blogging, either. Some of y'all in years (if ever). But... Life happens, I guess. People get busy w/ it & it just ends up being what it is.
Nothing to complain about, over here, though. My business mentor shared w/ me (something that was shared w/ him by his business mentor), "successful people are having a good day, everyday." And while I'm trying to subscribe to that train of thinking... I still feel like I want to wham bam a few folks upside the head every now and again. *sigh* Thankfully... I'm REALLY learning how to just - Keep it Moving. =o) And truthfully, he even had to admit that bad days are just natural. I guess the key is, not letting the masses see you having one, I guess. I don't know. Either way... no complaints over here. I've been loving life and the skin I'm in, as of late. Working on me & am HAPPY to be doing it! =o) I'm blessed. Seriously.
This weekend, I ended up @ David's Bridal for 2 hours. =o) Yes folks... it's about that time. And no, I'm not getting married. It's Beautillion season & my niece is going to be an escort! Then event is put on by Jack & Jill, which (3) of my girlfriends are a part of and of course, they/I got my niece in. I thought she'd enjoy it. Plus, I REALLY want her to meet some new friends. Cause the "trifflin'" ones she hangs around @ school... are off, at times. I know it's only H.S. but... I find myself ready to clown a heffa at her expense - when she tells me how foul they're acting towards her at times. *sigh* But I'm just glad they feel like they can talk to me about the foolishness & come to me for advice. Anyhoo... my nieces are doing well in school. Both are on the cheerleading squads & honor roll. But it's my middle niece's senior year. She's the captain of the cheerleading squad, in all honors classes, in the National Honor Society & has an intership at a hospital (that one of her counselors got her), as she wants to become a pediatrician. I'm proud. But Jesus be a stab wound, if I didn't realize that escort dress was going to cost a grip! Bejeezus! Those jokers are EXPENSIVE. Wedding dress expensive. But the dress she & I picked out is BEAUTIFUL! Did I mention that the bra, alone, was $71.00? I almost choked on my spit when the lady told me that. Um, trust me when I tell you... that bra WILL be going back! I don't even own a $70 bra! No ma'am! My girlfriend in J/J called me later to tell me she forgot to tell me not to buy the bra. No worries... I got my mind right shortly after I left there. lol... Dayum, though. Kids are EXPENSIVE! I JUST bought (2) homecoming dresses, had their make-up done at MAC & bought accessories two weeks ago. Seriously. And then their dad thought he was gonna call me about her senior pics. Uh... sorry, but uh... no sir'ree, buddy! I know he's strugglin' but uh... *ish! I can't be everything to everyone! I have to take care of ME, too! Anyhoo... she had a good time meeting the girls (some of which she knew) & hanging out. And I love it, because they have all these workshops for the escorts/beau's... one of which is a two-part series for the escorts entitled: 'Loving the Skin You're In' and I'm geeked about that.
I also attended a surprise birthday party for my girl, Paige, this weekend @ this fabulous place called, 'Hapa Sushi Grill'. Lawd, was the food schlammin'! We had something called a double screaming orgasm (don't ask what it was, it was some kind of fried sushi smothered in this sauce). I thought I was gonna faint. It was THAT good! They also had some seasoned edamame... and the way we were sucking the juice off the pea pods & shuckin' them peas out w/ our teeth/tongues... you'd have thought we were homeless. I had (2) Jamaican 10-speeds, too (that I smashed down like it was kool-aid), as well. Her boy, John, got on the mic & sang Happy Birthday... which brought her to tears. It was such a treat. Cause when we were planning it, NONE of us wanted to celebrate it at the club. Owww! Somehow, we ended up trying to go - afterwards... but luckily, we didn't get in. I was a debbie downer on the club, though. But she was beyond surprised & touched.
Speaking of birthdays... I'm celebrating mine in ATL, this year! Can't wait! Surprisingly, soooo many of my chica's/chico's have signed on to come. I'm super geeked. Now, I'm cautioned on who will actually show up & who won't, though. I learned a LONG time ago that folks will say one thing & then come up w/ a myriad of excuses as to why they can't/won't, later. I know we're in a recession, so everyone won't have the fundage. But what I do know is... there could be (3) of us, and I will be making the most of it. And I've got something planned that I've wanted to do for a grip! I'm truly excited. And this from someone who thinks birthdays are over-rated.
Anyhoo... surprisingly, I have A LOT more to talk about (not surprising, considering the length of time that has passed since the last post. Lucky for you... my energy level is SHOT. Got a 5am workout so... I've got to end this piece.
Be blessed!

P.S. Did I mention how much I need these in my life?
