And I know I have been guilty of it too!"

3. He confirmed the DEVIL does exist!
4. He answered my random questions....Mental maturity does not have a certain age to start!
5. He is obsessed with me!
This is one battle I chose not to fight! I refuse too break down what I build in four years. This is one battle that I have to put in GOD's hands! HELP THEM FATHER FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!

We as Americans are SPOILED BRATS!
Haiti's population is 9,035,536. Only 15 years and older can read or write. They Have one national Holiday for the year Independence day January 1. In 2008 the minimum wage was 25 cents an hour so, about 2 dollars a day! Two dollars a day is not enough for transportation and two meals. But us we complain about being so tired and we need a day off! We have eleven national holidays 7 for which we get a free pass to have a day off, and lets not count the time we accumulate from our places of employment! Imagine living in Haiti making two dollars a day! In America the minimum wage ranges from 6.25-8.25 an hour depending on the state you live in. And we still complain it's not enough! If I was to make 8.25 an hour that is roughly 660.00 for 2 weeks. In the area I live in you can rent an one bedroom apartment for 350.00 yet an still we complain!I have some more facts for you that will make you drop your jaw! Let's move on to South Africa. In South Africa there is no health care for the 5.5 million people that are living with the AIDS virus. There is about 10000 deaths a day due AIDS, but in the good US of A there is no such thing as not having health care as long as we have a Government that assist people living with AIDS. Did you know that our government offers a program that assist people with AIDS. The program pays rent and gives monthly food stamps all while sitting at home. Do we take advantage? NO! We sit at home a complain! Why are we so ungrateful? Why do we complain about the small things, when compared to other countries we are living like KINGS AND QUEENS. YES I AM GUILTY OF COMPLAINING TOO, but as I became older I learned
to appreciate the job that keeps a roof over my head, food on my table and clothes on my back. Today I am learning to appreciate my Government that assist people with the deadly disease called AIDS, or that allows me to retire with a pension. There are so many FREE programs out here, but do we take advantage no....we just sit on our tails and do nothing! AMERICA WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER!
LOOK WHAT MONEY DOES TO PEOPLE!
Now why would MS. NENE go and mess up her face like this! She was beautiful without this obvious nose job! I CAN'T AND I WONT NO MA'AM! MS.NENE PLEASE COME BACK...and since we on calling people back LIL KIM WE SEE U! Fellow craziess what do yall think?

Why you ask, well I am still stuck with my old trusty MOTO Q that does not upload pics or send.....can we say frustrating! But here is where it gets more nerve wrecking my cell phone provider is sprint they have descent phones but not the best! As a loyal SPRINT customer I get 75-150.00 dollars off a new phone and oh yeah I have to sign up for a new 2 year contract ( BOY THEY SURE KNOW HOW TO GET YA). WOOPTY DOO.....the phones cost more then I pay for rent! I might have to bite the bullet and just pay 400-500 dollars for the new HTC EVO out 6/4/10!

FACEBOOK FRIEND OR FOE?
I'm sure I am not the only one that does it! You know while sitting in a doctor's office or waiting on line log on to facebook! We log in change our status or view our friends status. But for some reason in the recent months facebook has become my foe! I have lost 2 very dear friendships over facebook! Why you ask? Well when facebook was created it was a way for you too connect with old friends or flames. It was a place for networking and socializing. But then it became something else! It became a place to air your dirty laundry, a place where you can curse out someone and the world knows why your mad and who you are mad with. A place where you can put your baby's daddy on blast for not taking care of his kids! But why must we do this? Is it to get confirmation from the 1000 so called friends we have but really on speak to 10! Whatever happen to communicating and talking to one another to air out the problem. Why put your baby daddy on blast when you was the one who decided to sleep with him! SO NOW HE IS A DEADBEAT!Oh yeah and lets not forget the FB gangsters, you know the ones that want to jump on the bandwagon of the person that puts you on blast. You know the ones that patrols the post you comment on so they can have something to say about you or in reference to you! Yes fellow crazies I have been through it all. I even had to go as far as getting my number changed, but what is even more funny the person sent me an email via facebook. Yeah over the last few months I became the enemy to some.
I began to feel like the pretty girl in high school, you know the one's that the fat and ugly girls didn't like for some dumb reason or another! When I first became a member of facebook I loved it! I love the fact that I can connect with my friends that were still in new york, or my family members that I only get to see at family reunions. From time to time when I go on facebook it sadends me to see my old friends picture......it makes me think where would we be if facebook wasn't in the picture! With this being said Yes I am still a facebook users. Sometimes I think I need facebook rehab, But when I post I only post positive energy or words of wisdom. You know putting the postive energy out there so it can come back to me!

Well Look Who is Hiring.......TALX CORP!
Wow look isn't this ironic! Talx Corp a provider of workforce solutions you know the company that helps major companies (Walmart on down to AT&T) prevent their fired employees from getting unemployment benefits! When workers are denied benefits the company pays less taxes to the countries unemployment fund. Most companies do not like this process, so this is where TALX comes in at to do the DIRTY job! In A recent NY Times Article a mentally disabled man was fired from his job as night janitor in a New Hampshire Walmart. TALX stalled for 3 months before the poor guy would get a hearing. Benefits was granted to the man, but TALX appealed, claiming that Walmart requested to testify by phone but was not allowed. WALMART NEVER REQUESTED IT! Would you want to work for this type of company?????????????? NO MA'AM!
I can not work for a company that denies benefits to people that paid taxes and worked hard for these benefits! Is it the employee's fault that a company can not keep control of there finances? Yes there are some workers who don't deserve benefits, but the 90% that do why should they suffer. In this day in age no one( WELL NOT NO ONE I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET FIRED TO GET UNEMPLOYMENT...SMDH) really is trying to get fired or let go especially when benefits are involved. It appears to be harder to get unemployment benefits then it is to keep your JOB! Which would you rather do work or get stuck with no job or benefits! To the ones out there who think collecting unemployment is better....GROW THE HELL UP....THEY RUN OUT! Um I wonder what TALX does regarding approving for there benefits? Do they hire an outside company to do there dirty work???????????????????????

MEDICAL MINUTE: LUPUS
So since the blog is about everything I decided to include a " Medical Minute" we as young African Americans and yes some Caucasians tend to disregard our own health when we live in the United States! Imagine living in Hatiti or Africa were there is no healthcare or no health screening for that matter! So below is the first MEDCAL MINUTE: LUPUS, my mother has been plagued with this disease for over 15 years! The information is taken from The Lupus Foundation:
What is Lupus
Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years. In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs ("foreign invaders," like the flu). Normally our immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues ("auto" means "self") and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body.
What are the Symptoms of Lupus
Because lupus can affect so many different organs, a wide range of symptoms can occur. These symptoms may come and go, and different symptoms may appear at different times during the course of the disease.
The most common symptoms of lupus, which are the same for females and males, are:
extreme fatigue (tiredness)
headaches
painful or swollen joints
fever
anemia (low numbers of red blood cells or hemoglobin, or low total blood volume)
swelling (edema) in feet, legs, hands, and/or around eyes
pain in chest on deep breathing (pleurisy)
butterfly-shaped rash across cheeks and nose
sun- or light-sensitivity (photosensitivity)
hair loss
abnormal blood clotting
fingers turning white and/or blue when cold (Raynaud’s phenomenon)
mouth or nose ulcers
Treatments for Lupus
Because the symptoms of lupus vary from one person to another, the treatment of the disease is tailored to the specific problems that arise in each person. In many cases, the best approach to treating your lupus is with a health care team.
Today, doctors are using a wide variety of medicines to treat lupus -- ranging in strength from mild to extremely strong. It is not unusual for the prescribed medications to change during a person’s lifetime with lupus. However, it can take months, and sometimes years, before your health care team finds just the right combination of medicines to keep your lupus symptoms under control.
There are many categories of drugs for the treatment of lupus. Of all these drugs, only a few are approved specifically for lupus by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): corticosteroids, including prednisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone, and hydrocortisone; the antimalarial, hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®); and aspirin. However, many medications are used to treat the symptoms of lupus.
People with lupus are generally treated by a rheumatologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases of the joints and muscles. If lupus has caused damage to a particular organ, other specialists will be consulted as well, such as a dermatologist for cutaneous lupus (skin disease), a cardiologist for heart disease, a nephrologist for kidney disease, a neurologist for brain and nervous system disease, or a gastroenterologist for gastrointestinal tract disease. An obstetrician who specializes in high-risk pregnancies will be needed when a woman with lupus is considering a pregnancy.
Once you have been diagnosed with lupus, your doctor will develop a treatment plan based on your age, symptoms, general health, and lifestyle. The goals of any treatment plan are to:
reduce inflammation caused by lupus
suppress your overactive immune system
prevent flares, and treat them when they occur
control symptoms like joint pain and fatigue
minimize damage to organs
People with lupus often require other drugs for the treatment of conditions commonly seen with the disease. Examples of these types of medications are diuretics for fluid retention, antihypertensive drugs for high blood pressure, anticonvulsants for seizure disorders, antibiotics for infections, and bone-strengthening drugs for osteoporosis.
In addition, many medications, whether listed in this on the lupus.org website or not, are not recommended for a woman who is planning a pregnancy, is currently pregnant, or is breast-feeding. Women with lupus should have every pregnancy closely monitored by their health care team, so that the safest decisions can be made about medication use and any other necessary treatments, both before, during, and after the birth.
All medicines must be taken exactly as prescribed! Forgetting to take the medicine, taking medicine in the wrong amounts or dosage, stopping a medicine, or adding dietary supplements without your doctor’s approval will affect how well the drugs work and whether your symptoms of lupus can be brought under control.
Managing lupus is a team effort. And since there often will be several physicians involved in your care, good communication is necessary among members of your health care team.

SHOULD MS. JAMES or SHOULDN"T MS.JAMES
Okay so on my way to work I was listening to Rickey Smiley's morning show and was kinda shocked to hear the rumor regarding Ms. Gloria James dating one of her son's team mates Delonte West! My thoughts were so what is the big deal? Ms. Gloria raised Lebron to be the best that he is. Lebron is an outstanding player and is MVP in the league so what more can a mother ask for, she did her job! Older men date younger women since the beginning of time....so why can't Ms. James have her fun with a boy toy? Now here is where me being on the fence comes in as I was listening to Rickey's morning show (by the way LOVE YOU GUYS) calls started to come in and a lot of people had valid points. Some viewed it like me and others opinion was if Ms. James wants to date someone younger she can but not in the league! WOW...I thought, but then another caller said the same thing but back it up with this " With the two dating it can cause tension in the locker room" Point well taken..... So fellow Crazies what is your opinion on this?
The Human Centipede - Trailer (2009) HD
So over the weekend due to being strap for cash (SAVING FOR FL TRIP AT THE END OF THE MONTH) I took this time to catch up on a few movies and HUMAN CENTIPEDE being one of them. When I tell you about 10-15 min into the movie my mouth stayed opened till the end! The movie is based out of Germany side note: Is it me or do the freakest movies are always based out of other countries Hostel 1-2, and the Descent. Anway it has the same corney story line like usual 2 females lost in the woods due to a flat tire who happen to stumble across a house. You see where this is going...WRONG take a look at the trailer and see for yourself. All I can say I am glad to have in my DVD collection!

When HIP HOP was HIP HOP!
I remember when I was first introduced to hip hop it was the early 80's in my friends basement when record players was still out (CAN YOU IMAGINE RECORD PLAYERS COMING BACK OUT) He had KRS ONE and DJ SCOTT LA ROCK RIP the "BRIDGE IS OVER" I never heard anything like it before! Yes my older brother listened to the Furious Five and Kool Herc, but KRS ONE was not only a teacher and lyrics es but he was the champ of battles. I am from Queens and still rock the BRIDGE IS OVER, the beat was amazing as he rap the chorus......THE BRIDGE IS OVER THE BRIDGE IS OVER and Piano was being played that beat would hit and in comes KRS with that Jamaican accent How could you not love his no matter where u was from!When I was first introduced to female MC's was on a friday nights when I would listen to 98.7 kiss fm. I was introduced to MC LYTE.....BEAT BITTER! That next day I begged for my father to take me to Jamaica ave to get her tape ( YES TAPE......DAMN I'M OLD) LYTE AS A ROCK! LAWD when I tell you i think I rewind that tape so much that during the first week I was begging my father to take me back to the store to get another! MC LYTE was no joke when it came to MC'ing and battles.....most notable is 10% Dis towards another female MC...ANTONETTE...MS. WHO'S THE BOSS! When Lyte would get on the beat and start with the HOT DAMN HOE! you knew it was on! There was a slew of female MC's that also was not having it...Salt N Pepa, Roxanne Shante, Queen Latifah, Finesse and Synquese, MS.Melody, Monie Love.
I remember when we was able to go to the park parties and dance the night away as the DJ was really DJ'ing no cd's just scratching! The hype man new what his job was! Not like today where the hype man just goes from one side of the stage to the next! I remember back when each block in my neighborhood would have a block party and we would all come together for the love of hip hop and food.......Remember when your school party was an actual party and we would actually dance...The Snake...The Whoop, The James Brown and even the Kid and Play! DAMN I wish I could bring those days back! Unlike today where the kids are not dancing but having SEX on the dance floor! Remember when HIP HOP WAS HIP HOP...DAMN R THOSE DAYS DEAD?

CLEARING UP MY CREDT.....UGHHHHHHHHH
OK as we all know viewing our credit report is a scary thing! For one we never know what is on them and also it actually shows us what we owe to the world and if we are responsible adults that know how to handle our business! LAWD I have made many of mistakes in my life with my credit. The BIGGEST of them all is my student loan that I am still paying for and never received my degree! CAN WE SAY IDIOT! I know but at the time I was so worried about looking cute and partying I never thought about the future! Now here it is at the age of 34 I want my own home! When I was younger and living in New York the thought of owning my own home was never a thought. Yes my parents owned the home I grew up in, but my thoughts was to live in the city in an apartment. It wasn't until I moved to GA the thought of owning home became appealing! I never seen so many young African Americans owning homes and businesses! So here I am today trying to get a piece of that American Dream of becoming a home owner. So if you see the 6 o'clock news that a crazed man is holding people hostage at one of the credit agency's it's me trying to get my act together!Gucci Mane WELCOME HOME DINNER!
Monica was out and about last night at a Welcome home dinner held for non other the GUCCI MANE! As usual Monica was on point! It appears the big house did Gucci some justice he looks refreshed!

Taken from yahoo news:By KHALED AL-DEEB and HAMZA HENDAWI, Associated Press Writers Khaled Al-deeb And Hamza Hendawi, Associated Press Writers – Wed May 12, 12:23 pm ET
TRIPOLI, Libya – A Libyan plane carrying 104 people crashed Wednesday on approach to Tripoli's airport, leaving a field scattered with smoldering debris that included a large chunk of the tail painted with the airline's brightly colored logo. A 10-year-old Dutch boy was the only known survivor.
The Dutch prime minister said everyone on the Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A330-200 arriving from Johannesburg, South Africa, was killed except the child, whose survival was hailed as a miracle.
The boy was taken to a hospital in Tripoli and was undergoing surgery for injuries including broken bones. Libyan TV showed video of the dark-haired child lying in a hospital bed with a bandaged head and wearing an oxygen mask. He had intravenous lines in one arm and appeared to be conscious.
The Royal Dutch Tourism Board said 61 of the dead came from the Netherlands, including many holidaymakers who had been on package tours to South Africa.
Dutch flags were lowered and campaigning for the June 9 parliamentary elections was suspended in respect for the dead. Hundreds of people phoned emergency numbers to ask about family and friends while authorities at other destination airports set up crisis centers.
"We are sad and sore at the thought of the more than one hundred passengers and crew who lost their lives," the Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, Thabo Makgoba, said in a statement. "We thank God for the sole survivor. In his survival, we see that even in this dark cloud of death, there is this ray of hope."
The crash left a large field scattered with small and large pieces of plane debris and dozens of police and rescue workers with surgical masks and gloves, some of them carrying at least one body away. They gathered small personal items such as wallets and cell phones from the wreckage.
Others sifted through debris — some of it still smoldering — including a flight recorder and green seats with television screens on them. A large piece of the plane's tail was visible, bearing Afriqiyah's brightly colored logo with the numbers "9.9.99," a reference to the date of the founding of the African Union.
The plane was carrying 93 passengers and 11 crew, Afriqiyah Airways said in a statement
Suicide! What makes one do it?
Suicide is just one of those things that never came across my mind! I don't care if I am homeless....I will sell a piece of ass to make sure I am taking care of! A broken heart? Hopefully not because I look at it like this "It's there lost not mine". Money problems......I should of been committed suicide is that is the case! I don't know why am I bring this topic up? Well I ran across and article on UK's Daily Mail about a model named NOEMIE LENOIR above the article is below:
A man out walking his dog found Ms Lenoir’s body on Sunday afternoon and called the emergency services straight away.‘After coming too, Noemie was in a state of great distress and clearly very ill,’ said a source close to the model. ‘She had clearly attempted to harm herself and had fallen unconscious.‘She was rushed to a nearby hospital and treated for the effects of poisoning. It seems that she had tried to commit suicide as a cry for help. She’s now in a far better condition and recovering.’
Now you would think a person with Money and that travels the world would be better off! WRONG! They are the ones with the most problems it seems like. I am glad to be broke and amongst the common people! Honestly I think suicide would cross my mind if my Mother passed she is my best friend! But the flip side is if I was to think that the first thing that would come to mine is my mother saying "YOU MUST CARRY ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND MAKE ME PROUD" and that's what I would do well that's what I would have to do! what is your thoughts BLOG WORLD?

This is was taken from Quincy's blog:A Mother’s Day Kiss
There were a lot of mixed opinions and judgements that surfaced the internet today concerning the kiss i gave my mother on Mother’s Day. I think it deserves a personal response from me……
Yesterday was Mother’s Day; A special day to celebrate and give thanks to all mothers and mother figures present in our lives. I chose to express my love and devotion to my Mother, not only by presenting her with gifts and verbal means of appreciation, but by sharing my LOVE for her with the WORLD A KISS!
I come from a warm, loving and close family. It really is a secure feeling to be apart of a caring family, and my Mother is so much apart of the warmth and love that helps us appreciate and enjoy one another. All through the years, I’ve kissed my Mom, my Grandmother, and my Great-Grandmothers………With more kisses to come.
WHAT IS YOUR OPINON?
I personally feel him anyway I can get LOVE and SHOW love to my mother I am down for it! GOOD FOR HIM! LOVE YOUR MAMA!
WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat is currently going through a bitter divorce with his soon to be ex wife Siohvaughn ! From Ms. Siohvaughn sueing Dwaynes mistress ( WE ALL KNOW GABRIELLE UNION ALLEGEDLY) ! To showing out in court which she had to turn herself into authorities ( BUT MAMA PAID THAT 10,000.00 IN CASH AND GOT OUT AN HOUR LATER HOW U DEWINN)! To keeping him away from his kids!
My take on this is 1. Y sue the mistress she doesn't know what Dwayne was telling her for all she knows Dwayne could of been planning to divorce for a long time. you never know what goes on in the mind of men! And yes I agree the mistress did know and she should of backed off but when the two was married the took vows Dwayne is the one that did not commit to them so she should get him for everything! 2. the showing out in court does not look good Ms. Siohvaughn, if what you say is true then stand on it don't show up late or miss dates.....U are taking a stand for all NBA,NFL and MBL ex wives and soon to be ex wives ( WE SEE YOU JENNIFER WILLIAMS OF BASKETBALL WIVES)! 3. The one that bothers me the most don't use the KIDS MA! They have nothing to do with this. If Dwayne has a time to talk to them on a daily basis then let them! they should not be missing calls or rather you should not be ignoring Dwayne's calls! every child needs a Father and for you to rob them of that is WRONG! YES we all know you are hurt but girl once the divorce is final you will have enough money to buy you a boy toy! GET IT TOGETHER MS. SIOHVAUGHN!

BLESSED!
When I woke up this morning my mood was ummmm...what can I call it not bad not at all, let's say reserved! I woke up and did my normally routine....pack my lunch, shower, walk Chloe and out the door! I get in my car drive to work eating my Popsicles ( THEY ARE MY NEW SMOKES SINCE QUITTING)! Once at work first thing I normally do is clock in and straight to face book ( YEAH I NEED FACEBOOK REHAB)! Today I posted a quote " Do not spoil what you have by wanting what u don't have; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only dreamed of having! After posting it my GOD it hit me like a ton a bricks! I AM TRULY BLESSED! Coming from where I was 5 years ago living in Brooklyn on public assistance with no direction in life...struggling just to make ends meat! Wondering how my bills would be paid! Low self esteem relapsing, surrounded by drug infested people ( NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT BUT WHEN YOU TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE NOT A GOOD IDEA)! In 2005 I made the decision that enough is enough and a change is going to come with no job, no place to live except with friends I packed my things and Casey and moved to the ATL! When I tell you out here I have been nothing but blessed the things that I use to dream of having and doing I am doing and I do have! Blog folks when I tell you if you stand on faith and faith alone anything is possible our GOD never puts on us more then we can bare!

BREAD IS THE DEVIL!
Bread is the devil.......It can raise your blood sugar level which is not good for diabetics. It raises
levels of bad LDL cholesterol in your bloodstream. This can lead to problems such as heart disease related to the narrowing of the arteries. But the worst of them all is it throws blows at our metabolism causing fat storage around the belly ( YEA I KNOW VAIN......BUT HOW CAN SOMETHING SO GOOD AND COMFORTING MESS UP WHAT I WORK HARD FOR YEAH THE 6 PACK)! UGHHHH it's so frustrating especially since I quit smoking! I mean I dream of it I base certain meals around it! If i don't have garlic bread I can not eat pasta! Sandwhiches are really my downfall I can put away 3 turkey and cheese sandwhiches in one sitting! FROM THIS DAY ON WHEAT/BROWN BREAD, PASTA AND RICE! I will conquer u bread if it's the last thing I do!
When friendships end do you ever think about them again?
Hello BLOG WORLD! I know long time no hear.......but been doing alot working, the gym and planning my summer trips with my male friend! Well anyway I am sitting here on my lunch and my dear bestfriend well I should say ex bestfriend came across my mind! We stop speaking and it's been about a month and honestly besides the little memories he never comes across my mind! I never wonder what he is doing if he is ok..well I take that back I did wonder how he was doing on Mothers day his mother passed some years back. But honestly I have moved on with my life like a ship sailing in the sea. Should I feel bad that ourfriendship of 19 yrs ended? Well I dont! Y I am sure you are asking. If as a friend you can not say your feelings then what is the point instead of coming to me he would post things on facebook and gossip over the phone! Now I know you guys are wondering why we fell out...well he is the short version I was speaking "venting" to another friend of ours that also has been my friend for the same amount of years, well somehow or for some reason this friend felt the need to tell him what was being said! Which is fine with me because whatever I say about you I say to you! So because of that we no longer speak. Well what about the friend that started it all? We speak via facebook I no longer trust him or anyone for that matter when it comes to expressing your tru feelings! BUt my real question is am I wrong for not caring he is no longer in my life?

CD REVIEWS/KAREN HAS DONE IT!
Karen's 5th solo cd is absolutely amazing. This cd will make you want to PRAISE, SHOUT and CRY. My hat goes off to her. There is a strong J Moss presence on the cd, which is perfect because she can cross over! Out of 10 songs I am in love with 8 not bad, plus she is one of my favorite's on the gospel scene! The first stand out song for me is "GOOD" as she sings the chorus it sends chills down my spine. When I think about how good he has been to me all I can do is shout or cry sometimes both! Next up is "BECAUSE OF YOU" this song makes my mind go back to my trials and tribulation's. There were times when I only had hot dogs or oddles and noodles to eat, or how was I going to get to work because I had no gas! BECAUSE OF WHO GOD IS I MADE IT THROUGH! Finally we have "HE KNOWS" a duet with her sister Dorinda Clark. This song is about questioning GOD and what he knows about you! My dear friends my GOD knows everything about me...and when ever in doubt give this song a play. There will no longer be a question if he knows! Enough of the chit chat go cop the cd! A SOLID LISTEN!
BAD HABITS...SHAKING THEM OFF FOR GOOD!
Over the years I picked up bad habits. I had a stint with drugs you name it, I tried it got the t shirt and a arrest record for them. How did I overcome this...REHAB (YES I AM PUTTING MY BIZNESS OUT THERE IT"S APART OF ME) for 2 long years and the kicker is I relapse but that last run really did it to me so I said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! While Kicking the drug habit I picked up food....your body's worst enemy especially fast food and junk food! I come from a small frame family...My mother is 5'6 and 165...My dad is 5'8 and 145...my Brother is 5'9 and about 165-170.......during this time of kicking drugs and taking up junk food my weight went from 160 to 195 -205 I was happy on the outside but on the inside I was not in a good place. To combat this I joined the gym! But the one habit that is the freaking KICKER is smoking(NEWPORTS REMEMBER I SAID I KICKED THE DRUGS) for some reason that little green box has a hold on me well I should say had I quit on 4/24/10...doing good I may add! I have been smoking for over 19 years and as I become older the habit becomes more disgusting.....it got to a point when I was smoking to smoke. There would be times when I would wake up in the middle of the night and light up, or a phone call would make me lite up! The killer part is a year ago I started working out again eating healthy...but as soon as I leave the gym I would light up ( CAN WE SAY COUNTER PRODUCTIVE) Yeah I know a mess! I am saying this to say please pray for me that this last bad habit I am able to kick with the help of whoever is out there reading this and GOD!
Steap vs Cheap...Ladies please pay close attention!
Kim Kardashian and Ciara was spotted hanging tough in LA. Now dont get me wrong both ladies are beautiful but what caught my eyes was Kim K's shoes can we say amazing! Ladies there is no rreason why you cannot look cute weather your budget is 150.00 a month or 15,000.00 a month you can always look put togeather! Kim K's shoes are made by Nicholas Kirkwood for his S/S2010 collection and are on sale for a mere 2153.70 at this site luisaviaroma.com this is for the 15,000.00 a month fashonista! Guess what ladies I found a similar pair (ABOVE) over at amazon.com by Guess and it's called the Lola Sandal...and here is the kicker the price range is from 78.74-119.95. GIRLS GET YOUR CARDS OUT!

UGHHHHHH........I SO HATE MOVING DECISIONS
OK what am I to do??????????? My apartment complex of 2 years decides to pick this year to go into foreclosure ( CAN YOU FREAKIN BELIEVE IT! I CAN"T). Ok so your saying it will just go under new management WRONG! Along with that comes rent hike ( WITH NO UPGRADES R U SERIOUS)! I love the management team I have now, maintenance is always on point and the plus thing about them is, they understand when you are late (YES I SAID LATE, I WORK FOR NON PROFIT) my neighbors are all older, quite and working people. I was planning to move when my lease was up in August I am tired of living in the hood! It's so frustrating when the inside of your apartment looks like architectural digest and the outside looks like Saratoga ave in Brooklyn NY (IF YOU ARE FROM NY YOU GET THE PICTURE), But NOW! Ugh this means countless apartment viewings, application fees and and security deposits! SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE!
Dinner
Cooking for me is like therapy it gives me time to think and to clear my mind. This also is a passion of mine! Every meal that I make I will post the recipe. Lets be honest there are a bunch of Females and Men that claim that they can't cook...IT"S A LIE...everyone can cook, it's just that everyone does not like the preparation! Here is the thing, the preparation is the best part. Especially when done with love!
QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN-SHRIMP TERIYAKI
1/4 lb. med. shrimp, shelled1 1/2 c. cooked chicken pieces (equals the meat of approximately 2 breasts or thighs lets keep it real I am on a budget)
1/3 c. bottled teriyaki sauce I prefer Lawrys 30 min Marinade (Yes I took the cheap way out it cuts time)
In a medium non-stick skillet heat teriyaki sauce and add raw shrimp, chicken stirring quickly until shrimp are pink on all sides. Sprinkle with pepper and continue stirring another few minutes, to be sure chicken pieces are heated through.
Now we must not forget our veggies good for the body and soul I would suggest adding frozen/fresh broccoli cuts. Serve over rice/noodles and your done quick and easy!
SEE THAT WASN"T HARD! I am new to this so bare with me with pics.....I will get it together sooner or later!
