so its the day after-although i've requested a do over because of some small issues
ok let me just say i was overwhelmed by all the love and warmth i received yesterday-thank you thank you!!!
let me just share a few things i am LOVING right now
#1-the new Boyz II Men album-its called LOVE and its a remake of some classic stuff like IRIS by Goo Goo Dolls-AMAZED-done by man artists-I CANT MAKE YOU LOVE ME by Bonnie Raite-the album is a good album AND there is WHEN I FALL IN LOVE AGAIN-feat Michael Buble!!!!
#2-Sex Therapy-I did not get Robin Thicke's last album BUT SEX THERAPY is hot-i'm loving it and endorsing it-not for sex but as a good CD to sip wine and potentially have sex to if all the other stars are aligned!!
#3-A-keys-i didnt get her last album and honestly i picked a few songs off this one-BUT Try sleeping with a broken heart is FAB-ok nevermind i like the album-i got like 8 songs and i love all of them
#4-for those of you who are SEAL fans-he has a greatest hits album out-i endorse this one as well
sooo what's on my little mind today..hmmmm
im trying to not become overwhelmed by all that i have going on-its so easy to get caught up in trying to take care of the TO DO list that you forget to smell the roses-i'm supposed to be watching my Christmas specials every night-i mean that is not a big request-i missed the tree lighting because of travel conflicts but man-soon enough 8 days to be exact all the magic will be gone for another year-im not ready for that-i would love to just be back in my footed pajamas and out of school staying up late with not a care in the world-..........well maybe not i love the adult life-BUT just the carelessness is enviable in kids
sigh....i cant wait to get home next week even though its only for a few days..i miss the family and my partner in crime and eating.....alas what to do
ok i guess i will surf the net now-im finished with my work for now....

one more day
so tomorrow is the big day-yup my birthday.....
very happy and thankful for another year but there is something about not being 6 when the world just seems to STOP for you and its like your day is a national holiday!!
for example tomorrow i'm coming to work-why dont they GIVE me the day off-they should..if i want it off i have to use my leave-when there really should be BIRTHDAY leave or something
im also still stuck on the idea and the memory of wasn't i JUST in high school-weren't Courtney Kellee and I just sitting around deciding what we were wearing to prom..
boy how our lives and conversations have changed.
our relationships with our mom's is closer and the dynamics and topics are different-it's crazy
man we were just trying to push the envelope and having our moms call each other to confer whether they were going to let us do something
and even further werent' we just at Regina's at Someplace Special getting our hair pressed and our snake braids and shirley temple curls and zig zag parts!!!
when did everything change and why do most things still feel the same?
is there a point where you age but when nothing drastic happens you still feel the same..or why is it that my Mom still looks and seems the same to me and that she hasn't aged..
as i sit here today knowing that YES i am older because i can look at my cousins who are 17 & 19 and i can do a whole lot that they can not--i guess in a sense my age has changed because i have all the perks of being i guess what i will call grown
i can have sex without hiding it, i can get married with no one telling me how young i am, i can have a child without anyone flinching, i can buy a car, buy a house, vote, buy liquor (if i wanted), i can stay up late and have myself to blame, i guess being an adult is cool-lots of perks but lots of responsibilities
hmmmm so tomorrow-yes i will be another year older-i dont feel it but im grateful for the gift of another year and i can be hopeful as to what this next year will bring me and my life

tis the season
tis the season for love laughter and gifts.....so here i am for once in my 21 years (hehehe) unsure of what to get folks-normally this is my favorite thing to do but this time i am trying to get creative and come up with stuff...i have most people figured out-my Dad however it becoming more and more difficult to shop for
geeez i cant even write in my blog because i am thinking so hard
oh and a sidebar, a slight deviation-i had the BOMB blackened salmon the other night-OMG-when I say it was scrumptious-i am salivating just thinking about it but man oh man SOMEONE put their foot in it!!
yum
trying to hold out on getting my hair done for another week-its still pretty neat but -hmmmmm we'll see-its been up in a pony for a few days now....i will have to get it done for NYC but since that's right after Christmas-decisions decisions

Listening
so listening is defined by Websters as:
but yet how MANY people really LISTEN.. Not many-all too often when we are having a dialogue or discussion with someone we/they are so busy planning our rebuttal or trying to defend ourself that we miss the message which defeats the purpose of communication.
people need to stop and really listen-not hear but LISTEN.
and that goes hand in hand with honesty-most humans claim to want it but then when you are honest they are once again so busy defending them self that they miss the message and MAYBE just MAYBE you have a valid point because we all know the way we see ourselves is NOT always the reality-often we see ourselves through our own projections and ideas....
so if you want honesty you must first learn to shut your mouth and really listen to what the person is trying to say-hell they JUST might have a point
relationships (as defined by me) -i learned a long time ago when you are in a relationship-you dont start off saying what you wont you because then you are setting the relationship up from failure immediately-i dont measure what i give or what i do in a relationship-if you are measuring then you are missing the BIG picture. a relationship (as defined by me) is about giving and doing because it makes the other person happy and if you are with the one they are equally doing and giving so there is a balance, but if you are always calculating what you GAVE up for the relationship or what you COULD be doing then you are missing the point and not giving selflessly.. which is the wrong premise.. a relationship should make you happy you should be encouraged and excited to give and do because the smile on that person's face or knowing how happy they are is the ULTIMATE reward and gift... but that's just a relationship (as defined by me)
someone once told me-you can say all day what you won't or cant do in a relationship and that's fine-BUT be prepared for the backlash which could come in resentment, distance, or someone else filling in for you..
whatever you will NOT do in a relationship-there is ALWAYS someone else willing to do for you.. Have we not or do we NOT learn from all the athletes and their cheating ways and its always over something simple that they were not getting at home. its easy to think our castle is perfect and continue in cruise control BUT a relationship-a GOOD one is like my Audi from the TRANSPORTER-the realllllly expensive one-they require maintenance and hell you WANT to maintain that puppy to make sure it shines and purrs wonderfully ...that's how a relationship should be (as defined by me) ...athletes practice all the time to perfect their game-so why would you think that the biggest thing in our life-our relationship should get any less
not preaching just food for thought folks

holidays taking over
so with the busiest time of the year here-it is too easy to get caught up in the rush and craze...for me i want to constantly focus on next week and all the many upcoming events and celebrations in my life, but i just had to stop and think this morning, " if i rush rush rush-it will all be over so quickly that i would not have enjoyed ANY of it"..so i resolved this morning to truly take it a day at a time and try to make each day fun and memorable. I plan to get back to watching the 25 days of Christmas and each day take the time to watch one Christmas movie during this season-its a reminder of the magic and the love..for some people they dont like Christmas because they hate the commercialism but if you dont get caught up in it than you can stay focused on the real reason for the season and focus on the love, the magic, the smells, family, friends, good food, fellowshipping-i mean THAT is what the season is about.. the songs that people hate-well that's just one persons interpretation of happiness expressed in a song. we all have a lot to be thankful for-its easy to focus on what we do NOT have or what we want BUT is it really so hard to look around and see all the wealth we do have, whether it is in the shape of having friends, having loved ones, having a job, having a roof over our heads,
everyone needs to just stop the whining stop the pouting-and take a hard look around-look around!!! the trimmings and trappings of the holidays are great-gifts are nice-BUT look at all else you have to be thankful for-seeing another year-having people in our life who truly enrich it
time is precious-moments are not always recurring-so instead of getting caught up in the hustle and bustle stop and take the time to tell the one in your life-YOU LOVE THEM-hold your kids a bit closer-make that kiss a little longer, make each day memorable, if you have someone anyone whether lover or not -at the end of that day tell them how special they are and what they mean to you-end each day with a smile and thoughts of happiness-because i can guarantee going to bed mad or angry or stressed is NOT going to solve your problem and in the morning it will STILL be there-so shake it off and dont let your mood affect others-let them lift you back up
sorry i guess i digressed but more importantly this is the time to love a bit more-give a bit more-of your time of your resources-it doesnt always have to be a paid for gift-some of the best gifts are the ones that can never be wrapped-that perfect moment-that perfect kiss-that look-that touch-just do it so that you never regret not doing it
so next week YES i will get my wreath and YES i will get a tree and YES i will listen to classic songs while i decorate and YES my scroodge will probably watch more than he helps-BUT maybe just maybe with enough magic in the air-his icy heart will accept more Christmas in it-one year at a time :)

it's official
well yesterday-the wonderful RDC-made things official-SO it looks like he's gonna keep me around permanently!!!
I cant explain how ELATED and overjoyed I am-it was truly like Christmas :)
i could sit here and write a bunch of mushy make your eyes well up stuff about how great love is and finding that ONE-but somehow I feel like i should spare you all-but i will say yesterday was a great day-I am EXTREMELY happy AND I got to open my new box of Pink DOVE soap-sometimes it truly is the not so obvious things that make our hearts swell the most-although-i must say this sparkle on my hand-YUP-its damn obvious and i'm loving it!!!
oh oh and just because i havent blogged in awhile and i know for some of you there was a sense of gladness BUT let me tell you
i went to this place called THE MELTING POT last night-its a fondue restaurant-now for anyone who has been around me longer than 5 minutes you KNOW my affinity for FOOD-good food
SO i have been having fondue fantasies for the past month or two and lets just say yesterday i was utterly satisfied
the cheese oh THE cheese-so ooey and gooey and the hint of garlic and lager (Amstel for you Josh) -YUM double yum then the main course which i was a skeptic like ummm how is this hot pot of water going to cook my meat-well it did so i had shrimp and sirloin dipped in a Mojo (aka caribbean broth) THEN for dessert-drumroll please (clean up the drool)
Disaronno Meltdown-white chocolate with Disaronno in it with the dippers being Oreo crusted marshmallows, cheesecake-YES FOLKS DECADENT ASS CHEESECAKE!!! then brownies and rice krispies-OMG!!!! I had my pants unbuttoned and unzipped-
yesterday was just a fabulous day!!! SO I am declaring December a month of non stop annual celebration-from December 1 thru December 31st and everyday in between-its truly my and the most WONDERFUL time of the year!!!
