random

so i have been trying to decide what to blog about today...dont really want to discuss my horrendous weekend so i wont

i would like to just make a quick complaint about people who have blogs and only update them twice a year...i mean i get that the nightlife and things in the big city may keep you busy HOWEVER if you did not want the upkeep MAYBE you should have not started a blog and then convinced others that they should blog and how great it was....anonymous :)

so there is a certain lady who is pushing me towards the line of just plain bold vanity!!! man i'm in like a whole new world-
i got hooked up once again-i have never felt so amazing and beautiful...i always leave feeling like im glowing...i wish i knew more people would locs because i would actually share her....when i began my locs and had this whole idea of what the experience was going to be like and the atmosphere SHE is what i expected and i guess like any good relationship-you have to date bad ones and so-so ones before you find-THE ONE!!!

I will try to post pictures this evening if I can stop staring at myself long enough-even the male persuasion from Minnesota was quite pleased with my new look!!!


im just a plain hottie now!!!

starting off my day right with 1 graham-a cup of passion tea-and now high fiber oatmeal with a buttload of craisins added for extra effect :)

one of my old classmates from school just had a baby girl and this is most most adorable little girl-her name is Ruby-such a classic name-and man looking at the pictures when her Dad is holding her-its SO over for him-his is totally in love!!!
anywayz i thought it was super sweet

starting off wrong

man i dont know where this obsession/addiction with cinnamon graham crackers is coming from BUT I am NOT going to buy another box this week at the store. I go crazy over these things and sure there are worst snacks to gorge on BUT I will cut back for a week or two..

soo all-next week is turkey day-oh yum the sights and tastes and smells of honey baked ham, fried turkey, a veggie, and mac n cheese, and then cranberry sauce-my plate is simple, meat a veggie-the crans-and maybe a side...im not a stuffing or dressing or WHATEVER that bready stuff is called-dont like it dont eat it-so instead i feast on the rest

my schedule looks pretty busy until time to leave-movies tonight to FINALLY see the sequel to my movie Twilight, bowling tomorrow *where RD is going DOWN* then church Sunday-chill Monday and then Tues-i get my meet the family hairdo!!! i am justifying another trip to get my hair done because i have to use my medicated shampoo!!!!!and if i get a new fancy style along the way-well its a 2 for 1


sighh-sooo today is friday-yippee hip hip hooray!! i think as we get older we look at time differently-sometimes it flies by sometimes not-as a kid with no cares it flew by as a teen it rolled on with slow anticipation and as an adult who works and has responsibilities, one day turns into a week turns into a month and the next thing you know you are staring at Christmas!!!

perfection

so i had this thought last night as i tossed and turned and listened to my neighbors dogs whine and bark like there was NO tomorrow
but when we are young-we have such unrealistic expectations of relationships-we are looking for "perfection" and have all these "what i wont put up withs" and as i have gotten older and mainly in the past few years after a divorce and some soul searching and growing up...i have realized there is NO such thing as a perfect relationship-there are the ones that work well and flow with the individuals differences and then there are those in constant turmoil because instead of accepting the differences they want to change the person..people rarely change-they are who they are! when you meet that guy or gal if you are already calculating the changes you would make-WALK AWAY!!

as i was talking to my BFF-its like now when there is a issue or situation-the first response or thought is not im done or i am going to break up-its almost like now that we are older we expect hiccups to occur and the real measure is just how you deal with them and move on-but that instant i will dump them and find someone else-i think as we grow it diminishes..
that's not to say in certain situations a drastic measure is not necessary or that sometimes it is not ok to walk away
but now when we gripe about something our mate did -we just laugh it off vent and continue on realizing that i have my quirks and ways and clearly so will someone else-but if you look at the bigger picture and the long run and those things are really inconsequential than you roll your eyes stomp your feet and then go hug the person you love and you know loves you!!!

food thoughts

so i am starting off my morning wrong concentrating on the wrong thing-food fantasies!!

So yesterday I cooked it up sorta-I made Fiber One Apple Cinnamon Muffins-can i say WOW-those things are nothing short than AMAZING-delicious and nutritious! NOW I will warn that one is equal to 35% of your daily fiber intake-and i will just say despite my better inner smarts-I just ate two-dang it -oh well no turning back now

so i also made white bean and garlic soup-sighhhhhh

im excited for lunch so i can taste my new soup-it smelled so savory!!!

ok im keeping it short today

it's here it's here

so today is MY friday! Im so excited-not because i have any particular plans but just because its friday and if i wanted to do whatever i wanted to i could and it marks the end of yet another week and countdown to Christmas 2009 continues!

So while in Whole Foods yesterday-they had rosemary trees and cinnamon brooms-oh my gosh the smell was so aromatic and holiday-esque I can NOT WAIT!!!!

As SOON as I return from Alabama-full holiday mode commences-my tree-my garland-my wreath-as a matter of fact I think I may put my wreath holder with the bell on it up next week!!!

a little extra pep in my step and a bigger smile-because indeed it is my FAVORITE season!!

Sooo tomorrow I finally get to go my fairy loc momma and get my hair done-much needed much needed!!! I cant wait-and I know when I walk out I will be look 2 steps past dazzling!!!! oh i cant wait

sunday-im going back to my new church and then my god sister and i are heading to baltimore to meet her mom for dinner!!! got to love when parents come to town!!!!!


sooo here i am at work with some maxwell playing and i am getting it in-plowing through my work and at 12 i plan to be in the parking structure rolling

my other half-the bigger burlier deeper voice and different genitalia half of me is AT home in the bed SLEEP-he took the day off SLACKER SLACKER-so i can guess right now he is trying to spread out across the ENTIRE king size bed-rats!! yet im here at work-something is SO wrong with this equation but whatever *eye roll double eye roll*


did i mention my hair is being rescued tomorrow...maybe i did

so i just looked at my other brother's wedding album-Fred and Kameela looked SO amazing-im telling you if you can look at their pics and not believe in love and all that is brings-then clearly you are dead and there is NO hope-the love and happiness radiates off of them and they exude every love story and love poem...i dont see how anyone can not want that exact same thing

sooooo i hope everyone has magnificent weekends and talk to you soon

love hugs and kisses
me

almost there

so its the day before my favorite day..well not really-i think i love saturdays-the late sleep in-the maybe staying up late the night before-just a lazy day in the sense that its all about you and your personal responsibilities and not work related ones.

so i am at my desk with my grahams and tea-another hour til oatmeal time
i am craving some split pea soup right now-omg!!!!

guess i will make some this weekend..for the upcoming week
so i am pretty excited about my upcoming favorite holiday-just fyi on ABC family they started the countdown til the 25 days of christmas and well YUP ive been all in
i am super excited about getting my christmas tree and decorating it with my HTB...its a tradition that was big in my house and i have always looked forward to being able to do it in my own house...and since i dont have kids yet i am doing an adult sophisticated tree before they start making ornaments at school that are the ones only a parent can love and then i will have to have them on my tree until they are good and grown and then their Mom (Ellen B) says ok enough is enough and stops putting them up-THEN again-once I have kids maybe I will ship their ornaments to grandma Ellen and then she can have "THAT" tree again

anywho-my theme this year is chocolate and gold-I saw some fab ornaments that were deep chocolate and gold so I am going with those and then some standard gold and then white lights and since i have an amazing banister-oh yea im wrapping that up in garland..

and for the classic look since i suck at doing the lights int he windows i will just get the plug in candles and put one in each of my front windows!! Yup Christmas in the Crump house!!!!!!!

question of the day

WHY is it-in the morning, when its time to get up-WHY at that very moment does the bed and the pillows all of a sudden become THE most comfortable EVER! At night when its time to unwind-the bed feels ok the pillows are all right too BUT its when the alarm goes off that suddenly you feel like you are sleeping on the highest thread cotton of some material made for God or something
and yet that's when you must depart...

this just doesnt seem fair
